Amid the glitz and glamour that usually surrounds the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards, this year there was a slight turn of events as the gala experience a health kick, thanks to fitness freak Shilpa Shetty, who dazzled everyone with her yoga skills.

The annual awards show which is being held in Madrid, Spain this year saw Shetty conducting Yoga class, as the Bollywood beauty displayed her lithe figure in full glory.

Talking exclusively to ANI, the 41-year-old actress said, “I am happy that IIFA has joined hands with Mula fest and they thought that I was worthy enough as a representative to take this class, so this is a big onus on me.”

“I really have to say this Yoga has been part of my life for really very long time and it’s been life changing for me. I am glad that people are discovering it and recognizing it today, thanks to PM Mr. Narendra Modi and I feel gratitude every time I am talking about it,” she added.

The 17th Edition of IIFA Celebrations, which unfolds here from 23rd – 26th June this year, will witness stunning performances by Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha among others.
