Alia, who was scheduled to travel abroad for the IIFA awards, had cancelled her trip to be by her grandpa's side as he was fighting for his life in the hospital. In a report by ETimes, a source closer to the family had revealed that Narendra Razdan, Soni Razdan's father, was in the Breach Candy hospital for quite some time. He had a lung infection which got worse. Alia reportedly turned back from the airport because she didn't want to be at the award function while her grandfather was going through a vulnerable time.
The IIFA Awards 2023 was held in Abu Dhabi, with the IIFA Rocks event held on May 26, and the main awards night on May 27. Actors Hrithik Roshan and Alia Bhatt won the Best Actor- Male, Female trophies for their performances in the films 'Vikram Vedha' and 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', respectively.
