Farah Khan and Karan Johar to be hosting IIFA Rocks 2023 in Abu Dhabi

Filmmakers Karan Johar and Farah Khan have been roped in to host IIFA Rocks event, to be held in Abu Dhabi early next year. The International Indian Film Academy Awards return to Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, for the second consecutive year and will be held from February 9 to and 11.

The musical extravaganza event, IIFA Rocks, is a grand fusion of song, dance, film, and fashion and will feature live performances by some of the popular artists such as Amit Trivedi, Badshah, Nucleya and Sunidhi Chauhan, among others.

Johar said he is excited to host the IIFA Rocks this year. “I’ve shared a special bond with IIFA for over two decades. It will be a pleasure to rock



the stage with Farah,” the filmmaker said in a statement.

Khan, who had hosted the previous edition of IIFA Rocks with actor Aparshakti Khurrana, said she is thrilled to co-host the event yet again. “I’ll be back in February, exactly nine months later, to hold the baby again. And with Karan as my co-host, it’s going to be an absolute riot,” she said.

Composer-singer Trivedi, who performed at the IIFA Rocks 2019, said he is excited to return to the movie gala. “IIFA is not just a platform that salutes the finest of Bollywood talent, it also showcases our Indian culture to the world. That’s what draws everyone to this stage again and again,” he said.
