Pankaj Tripathi's New Adventure: Hosting IIFA
While fans wait for the streaming date of Parivarik ManuRanjan, Pankaj Tripathi is preparing for another major milestone in his career. The actor is set to make his hosting debut at the 27th edition of the IIFA Weekend & Awards.
The prestigious event is scheduled to take place on January 22 and 23, 2027, at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Stepping away from his usual scripted characters, Tripathi admitted that this new role brings a mix of emotions.
"For an actor, there are certain moments that come with a little extra nervousness and a lot of excitement and hosting the IIFA Digital Awards for the first time is definitely one of them," Tripathi shared in a press statement.
Reflecting on his transition from the camera to the live stage, he added that spending most of his career telling stories through characters makes this opportunity both humbling and special, as it is his first time ever hosting an awards show.
