Interestingly, filmmaker Karan Johar and choreographer Farah Khan kept the audience entertained during the ceremony. During the introduction conversation, Badshah also joined them on the stage. When Karan asked, Badshah shared how he feels as it will be his first IIFA. With a little hesitation and a lot of nervousness, the rapper replied by saying, “very exciting”.

Upon his reply, Farah was quick to poke fun at him as she said, “yeah, you are really looking (excited).” In no time, the crowd over there burst into laughter. While keeping his answer “short”, Badshah added that it is like a “responsibility”, but he is excited about it. Amid this curious Farah highlights that Badshah has “lost a lot of weight”. Before Badshah could briefly speak about it, Karan interrupts and asks the duo to have a conversation about it later in the event.
