Karan Johar usually appears on stage to either receive an award or to play the host. However, IIFA 2011 saw the filmmaker take to the stage and put up a little dance show with Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani. The filmmaker stunned everyone with his enthusiasm. His love for dance has only grown ever since as he went on to judge a number of dance reality shows after that.
