FLORIDA LEGISLATORS HONOUR IIFA


 
Hillsborough County Legislative Delegation Chairman John Legg (R-Trinity) and the rest of the delegation welcomed the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) to the Florida State Capitol on Thursday. Additionally, Senator John Legg introduced Senate Resolution 1680 honoring the Academy. Viraf Sarkari, Director – IIFA  & Wizcraft and Indian actress and Friend of IIFA, Preity Zinta were on hand to accept the honour.
The Hillsborough County leaders welcomed IIFA to Tallahassee, Florida celebrating ‘Bollywood Day’ at the Capitol. Several groups of dancers from north Florida performed for visitors, including Indian actress Preity Zinta.
Speaking at the conference, Zinta said, “The only time I think for all actors to interact with their fans from different countries is IIFA, so if you're not going to go there, your bad luck.”
“We are very excited to be hosting our 15th IIFA Awards in the State of Florida,” said Viraf Sarkari, one of IIFA’s directors. “I thank Senator Legg for bringing us together to discuss the exciting impact that film has in our lives.”
 
The IIFA Weekend and Awards 2014  will be held in Tampa, Florida from April 23rd – 26th.
