IIFA awards held in US with star power

TAMPA: The International Indian Film Academy always holds its awards outside of India in a bid to show Bollywood's international appeal, held its first US edition while bringing in two leading names of Hollywood, John Travolta and Kevin Spacey, who delighted the crowd by trying their best at Indian dancing.

“House of Cards” star Spacey, who was wearing a tuxedo, donned an Indian lungi around his waist to cheers from the crowd.

Travolta showed off his legendary “Saturday Night Fever” moves but also took the stage to dance Bollywood-style to the on-spot guidance of actress Priyanka Chopra.

“Bhaag Milka Bhaag,” the story of Olympian Milka Singh, took the prizes for best picture, best director and best actor at the IIFA awards.
