Priyanka Chopra, who has been making space for herself in the
international music scene, is here to be part of the International
Indian Film Academy (IIFA) celebrations. She's glad that the event
celebrates the country and its cinema abroad.
The four-day extravaganza began Wednesday and will culminate with the
awards ceremony Saturday. Priyanka is sure it will be a one "magical
blockbuster weekend". "I am excited to be here. I have been to Miami
several times, but it is the first time that I have come to Tampa Bay
and I love it. I feel we Indians have invaded the city," Priyanka said
here. "This is going to be blockbuster weekend - it will be magical. It
is important to tell people how our cinema transcends borders and
reaches people. It is celebration of India, Indian cinema," said the
National award-winning actress, who was in New York before she flew to
Tampa Bay.
A press conference here saw Priyanka with Anil Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha.
"I was feeling grumpy (initially) as I was travelling for 32 hours, but
the moment I reached here, the kind of love that was showered was
unbelievable. It's a wonderful feeling to be here. I am here to
entertain you all and I can assure you that this will be an
unforgettable one," she said.
The festival will also see prominent Hollywood celebrities at various events.
Anil Kapoor also unveiled Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's album
"Back 2 Love" at the event, while Sonakshi said she was feeling
wonderful to be in this scenic city.
And how can their be no song and dance? Anil, Sonakshi and Priyanka sway as the others watch on.
