Also on Friday, actor Madhuri Dixit was part of a panel discussion with Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga. The session was called The Journey of Women in Cinema, which kickstarted the 2025 IIFA Weekend. She talked about pay parity in Hindi cinema how it is still a distant dream as women have to repeatedly prove themselves and demonstrate their ability to draw audiences to theatres.

“For the women, they have to prove themselves time and again and to say that we are equal and we can draw an audience, but you have to prove it every single time. And yes, there is still a disparity,” Dixit, who most recently featured in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, said.

On Saturday, actor Kareena Kapoor was spotted at the Kalina airport in Mumbai, leaving for the awards show with her older son Taimur. Kareena is attending the 25th edition of IIFA as a performer, and she will pay tribute to her grandfather and legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor at the awards show.
