Who’s Shriya Blowing A Kiss To?

The
closing
ceremony
of
the
55th
International
Film
Festival
of
India
(IFFI)
saw
a
lot
of
glamour
as
stars
headed
to
the
Dr
Shyama
Prasad
Mukherjee
indoor
stadium
in
Goa
and
made
it
a
night
to
remember.

Can
the
paps
let

Shriya
Saran

go
by
without
her
mandatory
flying
kiss
pose?
And
the
actor
always
obliges!

Shriya
also
performed
at
the
closing
ceremony.

‘What
film
festivals
means
to
me
is
celebration,’
says

Rashmika
Mandanna
.

‘It’s
where
all
of
us
celebrate
our
films.
Films
we
shoot
for
over
one,
two,
three
or
four
years
together,
and
finally
we
get
to
celebrate
the
films.
And
I’m
grateful
for
it.’
