The 20th edition of the International Indian Film Awards [IIFA] 2019 was held at a popular stadium in south Mumbai. "After travelling the whole world, at last, the baby or the person comes home," was the opening line of filmmaker-host Karan Johar, who as usual radiated positive energy in the freezing stadium with blinding lights and an ambiance that depicted structures like the beautiful Haji Ali, Gateway of India, and Mount Mary Church, which are synonymous to the city that never sleeps.

The IIFA 2019 homecoming was truly delightful. The Khurrana brothers - Ayushmann and Aparshakti were on their toes throughout the award function and tickled the funnybone of the spectators. For instance, the cake that was brought on stage by the brothers to celebrate IIFA's birthday fell off. But did that lead to weird expressions and reactions from the audience? No! The atmosphere was warm and friendly as Ayushmann and Aparshakti's spontaneous jibe about it left the audience laughing out loud.
