IIFA Nominations Announced

Though it is yet to be seen how IIFA does this year without the support of the Bachchans, this year’s nominations for the awards are out. With many stars already confirming their participation and performance, the event is expected to be equally big this year. May the most deserving win in the each category.

Till last year, Amitabh Bachchan was the brand ambassador of the event, doing all he could to promote it, but from this year he is not with IIFA anymore.
