Just like last year, Shah Rukh Khan will not be attending this year’s International Indian Film Academy Awards in Yorkshire. Is Amitabh Bachchan the reason behind it?
Shah Rukh boycotted IIFA in Dubai last year because he was holidaying with his kids in London at that time. This year, too, the IIFA in Yorkshire is coinciding with the school vacations of SRK’s kids. And the superstar is again thinking of skipping the event for the sake of his kids.
However, it is being speculated among circles in tinsel town that SRK is boycotting the event because Amitabh Bachchan is IIFA’s brand ambassador. The last time SRK attended IIFA was in Amsterdam in 2005 when things were pretty hunky dory between the King Khan and the Big B.
SRK’s absence from the three-day event in June will take the glitz out of IIFA because he is very popular among the Asian crowds in England.
But what we wonder is that if SRK was holidaying in London last year when IIFA was in Dubai, why can’t he holiday this time again in England and attend the event too.
