September is special for actor Siddhant Chaturvedi. While on the one hand, he is looking forward to his action-packed role in the film Yudhra, on the other, he will be preparing for hosting IIFA 2024 for the first time.
Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Rana Daggubati, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Abhishek Banerjee will soon showcase their hosting talents in Abu Dhabi. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Abhishek Banerjee will co-host IIFA Rocks.
Siddhant shared his combination of feelings for the event. “I am feeling a bit nervous but also very excited. You will see me in an action avatar on September 20. It’s a big-budget film, and we have worked hard to make something special. After that, I look forward to the celebrations in Abu Dhabi. It would be loads of fun, and the audience too would enjoy it. We would keep the house sparkling”, he added.
Siddhant did appear quite thrilled that this was his first time hosting IIFA. “This is my first time hosting IIFA. A few years ago, I was supposed to attend it for Gully Boy, and I had won an award. But then the pandemic got in the way, so the award came home. Now, I’m stoked to get onto the stage as a host.”
Abhishek Banerjee is equally excited to be working with this Bollywood iconic figure, just like his fans of Shah Rukh Khan in general. He showed his gratitude this way: “I feel so fortunate to share the stage with King Khan. Working with him is a huge opportunity, and I am thrilled about it.”
Abhishek went ahead to explain his approach to hosting. “I feel humor is there to entertain and not hurt any person personally. The key is not to take things too seriously. We want to celebrate our industry, we want to celebrate all the hard work everybody puts in and more importantly, we want to celebrate the love we get from both national and international audiences. So, I am excited to celebrate with everyone,” he said.
This year, the 2024 IIFA Awards will take place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi from September 27 to 29, promising an action-packed and glamorous weekend. The show returns with its chronic hosts, Khan, Johar, and Vicky Kaushal.
The nights promise sparkling performances by Bollywood stars such as Rekha, Shahid Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Kriti Sanon, and Janhvi Kapoor. Besides that, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Abhishek Banerjee will co-host “IIFA Rocks” on September 29. Featuring performances by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Honey Singh.
