But the interesting twist in the nominations of IIFA Awards this year is that two of Bollywood’s mega stars and the blockbusters have been snubbed this year. Both Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan has been totally dismissed from the popular nomination categories while both their performances were the highlights of the year 2016 in Bollywood.

But it seems like the IIFA this year is all about Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil which is all over the nomination categories.
