New York: The weather played a spoilsport at the MetLife stadium, NY, as the Bollywood celebrities stayed away from walking the green carpet for the IIFA Rocks event. The event, which was scheduled to welcome the who’s who of Bollywood, was cancelled by the organisers. Thousands of people braved the bone-chilling cold just to catch a glimpse of their favourite Indian stars at the event. Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Kriti Sanon, Anupam Kher, Diljit Dosanjh, Kamal Khan and Riteish Deshmukh among others attended the IFFA Rocks event eventually, once the rain subsided. <amp-img src="https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/green-carpet.png?im=FitAndFill=(340,192)" alt="green carpet" layout="fill"></amp-img> The second day of the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) Awards 2017 – IIFA Rocks – celebrated the journey of AR Rahman in the film industry.
