Saif to host IIFA Rocks in Toronto

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan becomes the foremost candidate to host IIFA Rocks at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, this year.

The IIFA Rocks event will be filled with music and fashion and apparently, this year the musical event is scheduled to be held between June 23 to 25, at an auditorium with an audience seating capacity of 7000.

The show, which was hosted by the Bollywood actors Dia Mirza and Vivek Oberoi last year, will have the Chotte Nawab charming audiences with his wit and sense of humor this year.

IIFA Rocks to raise funds for IIFA foundation
IIFA Rocks, presented by Grey Goose, aims to help raise funds for the IIFA foundation, and these funds will be allocated to help out the families of the film industry workers, who have been badly affected by fluctuating business success in the industry.

Speaking about IIFA Rocks, a spokesperson stated, “Saif will be the host for the IIFA Rocks this year which will be one of the flagship events of the IIFA Foundation. There will be a music and a fashion event that is aimed at raising funds for deserving charities.

“This year, the event is ready to notch it up as it will take place in an arena in front to a live audience of around 7,000 people including guests as well as a ticketed audience.”

It’s also heard that IIFA Rocks will also be announcing the winners of the 12th Floriana IIFA Technical Awards for this year.

Interestingly, the event will see live performances by the top musician combo Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.

Saif hates politics
Saif, who is busy shooting for Prakash Jha’s politics-based film ‘Aarakshan’, stated that in real life he can’t stand politics.

Saif said, “I can't bear politics. I'm a little aware about it; I read the papers but I just feel that with the kind of politics this country has, it's so difficult to keep everyone happy... it's something very exhausting.

"I think I'm in the right profession for me. Things keep changing every now and then in acting, but at least there is no politics here.”
