IIFA 2014: 5 best candid photo moments

Finally, the event of the year has happened in great grandeur in Tampa Bay. The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards took place last night with all the Bollywood glitterati out in their best attire.

As always, there were some candid moments from the weekend which, aside from the best Bollywood actors, was also attended by John Travolta and Kevin Spacey. BizAsia bring you the five best pictures of candid moments but in no particular order.

IIFA 2014 Lungi Dance 400x

Host Shahid Kapoor and lady in red Deepika Padukone readied themselves for the ultimate live performance of Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Lungi Dance and roped in Spacey with them. The trio have been photographed adorning the blue lungis and doing the actions of the song. No doubt this has to be one of the most candid moments captured on stage at the IIFAs in recent years.

Priyanka Chopra John Travolta IIFA 2014 400x

Travolta, who was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema trophy, was also very sporting when Priyanka Chopra coerced him into dancing with her to Tune Maari Entriyaan from ‘Gunday’. Travolta, along with his dancing skills and some ‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994) moves, was able to match to Chopra’s steps and gave for an applaud-worthy performance.

Hrithik Roshan John Travolta IIFa 2014 400x

Travolta’s dancing was not limited to the one performance on the night. Upon receiving his award, he was also seen dancing with Hrithik Roshan to Saturday Night Fever after the latter expressed his love for Travolta’s musical film ‘Grease’ (1978). This was yet another special and candid moment which the audiences must have loved.

IIFA 2014 selfie 400x

Selfie fever well and truly hit the awards this year with many an attempt happening to better or replicate the famous Oscar selfie. The above selfie, as you will see, was taken by a purple-suited Shahid Kapoor and had in it Sonakshi Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha, Anil Kapoor, Kevin Spacey, Javed Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar to name a few. This was taken on the green carpet before the main event.

Riteish Sonakshi photobomb IIFA 2014 400x

IIFA in Tampa Bay allowed for the celebs to take their own photo upon reaching the red carpet. In this photo, it was Riteish Deshmukh taking the photo and Sonakshi Sinha appears to provide an expected photobomb. This is unlikely to be a first for IIFA but no doubt this was a candid photo moment.
