Day 3 - penultimate day.

After an action-packed weekend, the spectacular Samsung I.I.F.A. Awards were held at the Amsterdam Arena as the biggest stars of Indian cinema performed for an audience of over 10,000 fans from across the world. Nostalgia and superstardom created a heady combination as the charismatic super-star Shah Rukh Khan compered the spectacular awards ceremony, with Karan Johar and Fardeen Khan.

The I.I.F.A. weekend in Amsterdam reached its zenith with the grand finale, the Samsung I.I.F.A. Awards ceremony, which witnessed dazzling performances by the likes of Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan, Malaika Arora-Khan, Amrita Arora, Esha Deol, Isha Sharwani, Shahid Kapoor- Kareena Kapoor, the star cast of the film CHOCOLATE and international pop sensations Bombay Rockers and Rouge.

The final performance was Abhishek Bachchan's first-ever international performance. He was joined on stage by Aishwarya Rai and as a special surprise by his father Amitabh Bachchan.

The special attraction this year at the red carpet was the fashions especially created by designers Anna Singh, Vikram Phadnis and Manish Malhotra. The diamond jewelry was courtesy D'damas.

Samsung I.I.F.A. Awards will be broadcast across the globe via Star TV on June 26.
