00:00The 25th anniversary of the International Indian Film Academy Awards was celebrated earlier this year.
00:13On June 24, 2004, the first IFA Awards was held at the Millennium Dome in London.
00:21And this year, the Grand Event of this award was held in Rajasthan.
00:26On this special day, Bollywood stars Shahid Kapoor and Karan Johar were present on the red carpet.
00:56I have been doing this with them for 22 years. It feels like home.
01:04I am very happy that this time it is in India for our Indian audience.
01:08I love to perform live in front of the audience.
01:11I like to see them have a good time. So I am very excited to be here and hopefully I will give them a really fun time.
01:16I think there are very few people here who have been to the IFA Awards earlier and are still here.
01:22The first IFA Awards was held at the Millennium Dome in London in 2000.
01:27And in 2025, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary here.
01:31This is a very illustrious and historic moment in the IFA journey.
01:35And I am very happy to be a part of this journey.
01:38The IFA Awards were held outside India.
01:44But our Prime Minister has said that we have to celebrate such events every time in our country.
01:52That is why the IFA decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary in Rajasthan.
01:58And there can be no better place than Rajasthan for this illustrious celebration.
02:02Sir, one question.
02:04What is the secret of losing weight?
02:06What's my secret of losing weight?
02:08It's being healthy, eating well, exercising and just doing your best to look good.
02:14Noora Fateh was also present at the IFA Awards show in a glamorous black gown.
02:19Bobby Deol, who has acted in several films and series including Samrati, Animal Ashram.
02:27She was also present after the last Blazer.
02:30Madhuri Dixit, a Bollywood star, was also present at the IFA Awards show.
02:37Shami was also present at the IFA Awards show.
02:44Do you still cherish those early days of the IFA Awards?
02:49I always cherish those moments.
02:51The film fraternity comes together.
02:53The IFA is like a family.
02:56We have been associated for so many years.
02:59Andre and Vira are good friends of ours.
03:01And whenever we come here, it's a lot of fun.
03:04The right people are awarded.
03:07We just celebrate each other's success.
03:11It's been 25 years since the IFA. What kind of changes have you seen?
03:14Well, I think the IFA has grown from strength to strength.
03:17It has always presented Indian cinema in a grand way, internationally.
03:23We have been to so many countries.
03:25But for the 25th anniversary, we came to Rajasthan.
03:28Which is a very wonderful thing.
03:31Because Rajasthan and Jaipur are so beautiful.
03:34There is beauty, dance, music, colours, palaces.
03:39There is so much.
03:41And I think it's very ideal to be here.
03:44You have won hearts and awards with your performances.
03:49What does an award mean to an actor?
03:51It's a sign that you have done a good job.
03:56And you have been rewarded.
03:58But I think the biggest reward is the audience's love.
04:01And it will always be with me.
04:03That's what I want.
04:04Absolutely.
04:08In the last 25 years, the IFA evolved into an international platform.
04:13Which publishes the pride of Indian cinema.
