Bollywood stars given IIFA goody bags

Hindi film celebrities and Bollywood actors will this year be presented with goody bags at the International Indian Film Academy Awards.

Performers and special guests at the Toronto event will be given a range of luxury products for attending the IIFA weekend.

"While IIFA nominees eagerly prepare for this weekend's awards, each celebrity will be a winner thanks to the incredible goody bags which they will receive," a spokesperson revealed.

Included in the complimentary goody bag, recipients will be provided with MAC cosmetics, accessories from Canadian lifestyle brands Roots and The Bay, as well as luxury chocolates, local wines and designer pens.

The contents of the bag will be different for female and male celebrities.

"Female celebrities will take home the eco friendly-lingerie supplied by Kaia and Me. They will smell beautiful and receive an assortment of chick jewelry and accessories from Amrita Singh's Bazaar line. The men will receive fragrances from Cadillac Perfumes," added the spokesperson.

The annual event, which this year takes place in North America for the first time, opened with a screening last night of Double Dhamaal.
