Neha Dhupia to up fashion ante at IIFA 2015

Actress Neha Dhupia is set to host the Fashion Extravaganza, an event dedicated to fashion, at the 16th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards in Kuala Lumpur in June.

The event will be held on June 6.

“In addition to films and music, there will be fashion too. It’s an important part of everyone’s lives. I am looking forward to it,” Neha told reporters here.

Hosted by Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra, IIFA Rocks, an exclusive music extravaganza, will see a host of musical performances by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Mika, Ankit Tiwari, Kanika Kapoor, Javed Ali and the Nooran sisters.

Actresses Jacqueline Fernandez, Aditi Rao Hydari, Lisa Haydon and Lauren Gottlieb will also perform at IIFA Rocks on June 5.

Anil Kapoor-starrer “Dil Dhadakne Do”, which brings together a talented ensemble of actors, including Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Shefali Shah, Farhan Akhtar and Anushka Sharma, will be screened here a day after its scheduled release on June 5.

“Together, we have created a gem and people will be proud that the film is from India. It will be the first screening of the film. We won’t be having another screening for the film in Mumbai,” said Anil, who has been in the industry for almost four decades.

Other stars, who will attend the gala, are Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor — the hosts of IIFA Awards to be held on June 7.
