Vidya Balan promotes IIFA in Tampa. Soon to hold an acting workshop

Vidya Balan arrived in Tampa, Florida, in style to promote IIFA Awards 2014. Vidya Balan looked drop-dead gorgeous in a shocking Orange Satya Paul creation at the inaugural event of the IIFA Awards. She paired up the outfit with earrings from the Manish Arora’s Amrapali Collection.

The 15th Annual International Indian Film Academy‘s Weekend and Awards that starts from April 23 expects more than 30,000 visitors. The weekend culminates with IIFA’s signature green carpet and awards show at Raymond James Stadium. Tickets for the main awards show are selling for up to $3,295 each.

This is the first time the event is happening in the US and it is expected to give a fillip to Indo-US trade, tourism, and entertainment. Said Vidya Balan, “America is the second largest market for Hindi movies internationally, which is why it’s apt that we have it here. There is a wide variety within Indian cinema. I don’t think people have been exposed to the variety, so you can’t blame them for believing that Hindi films, Indian cinema is all about song and dance.”

During the IIFA Weekend, Vidya Balan will conduct an acting workshop with Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey.“For me, the definition of an actor is really someone who lives different people’s lives each time. Today I’m being offered a great variety of roles and parts that are exciting and engaging. A good film always works.” stated Viday Balan as she interacted with the media.
