<p>From Sushant Singh Rajput's cryptic tweet to Anushka Sharma choosing Virat Kohli over the awards show, here's all the behind-the-scenes gossip from IIFA Awards 2017</p>

No sporting spirit
As soon as Shahid Kapoor bagged the Best Actor trophy for Udta Punjab, Sushant Singh Rajput took to Twitter and wrote, "@IIFA hahahaha." Was Rajput mocking Kapoor's win, considering he was nominated in the same category for his performance in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story? Tsk, tsk..."
Love over laurels
Though Anushka Sharma and her cricketer beau Virat Kohli are currently in New York, the actor was a no-show at the awards gala. Fans expected the lovebirds to grace the red carpet, but she was conspicuous by her absence. Guess she was strictly in the mood for love!
