He expressed deep honor at receiving the award, acknowledging the significant strides made by IIFA in bringing Indian talent to international audiences. “Indian cinema continues to evolve, and IIFA has played a pivotal role in showcasing our talent to the world,” Roshan added.

The 25th edition of IIFA will be hosted by Bollywood stars Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar, while actors Vijay Varma, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana will be hosting the inaugural IIFA Digital Awards, a new addition to the event. Vijay Varma shared his excitement about hosting, especially considering the connection he has to Rajasthan, where he spent childhood summers at his grandmother’s house in Kishangarh. For him, the event feels like a return home, making his debut as a host even more special.
