Who's Shriya Blowing A Kiss To?

The closing ceremony of the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) saw a lot of glamour as stars headed to the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee indoor stadium in Goa and made it a night to remember.

Can the paps let Shriya Saran go by without her mandatory flying kiss pose? And the actor always obliges!

Shriya also performed at the closing ceremony.

'What film festivals means to me is celebration,' says Rashmika Mandanna.

'It's where all of us celebrate our films. Films we shoot for over one, two, three or four years together, and finally we get to celebrate the films. And I'm grateful for it.'

 

Bandish Bandits actors Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Choudhary gave everyone an exclusive preview into their show, as the second season arrives on December 13.

 

Vikrant Massey is honoured with the Personality Of The Year award.

'I always try to work responsibly. Whether it is 12th Fail, Sector 36 or The Sabarmati Report, there is always an effort to entertain people while also being part of responsible cinema,' he says.
