The star studded International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) kick started it's 19th edition that is to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 22nd June to 24th June by holding a press conference early in the day with Bollywood stars like Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, Anil Kapoor & others meeting the media. While the musical Day 1 event 'IIFA Rocks' has just begun there and we showed you the Green Carpet pictures of the celebrities arriving for the event, here's what happened at the press conference earlier. IIFA Rocks 2018 Green Carpet: B'wood stars Varun, Shraddha, Kriti & others descend at the event as the show just began! Before we talk about how Varun poked fun at Kartik, check out first how the 'Sui Dhaaga' star left everyone in splits when his 'ABCD 2' co-star and childhood buddy Shraddha Kapoor insisted him to sing 'Galliyan' along with her. What Varun did post that must've warned Shraddha forever to never ask him to sing again. Here's his version of the song that made everyone laugh.

The celebrities present at the media media ahead of IIFA Rocks event also included 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' fame Kartik Aaryan who recently gave a blockbuster with 'Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety' which entered the 100 crore club. Post 'SKTKS's smashing success, Kartik is finally considered a star but Varun seems to disagree! Or was that just in fun? While addressing media at the press con, Varun with all the actors accompanying him on stage (including Kartik) said - "We have one of the biggest stars of Indian Film Fraternity with us today.. [Arjuns starts to hug Kartik standing beside him]Yes! I am talking about Kartik Aaryan! " Kartik laughs pointing at Arjun why he did that! Check it out first and then we reveal what exactly happened!

IIFA shared this glimpse that would make anyone feel he took a dig at Kartik but he did not! Actually Varun was given the task to introduce everyone on stage and he began with calling Karan Johar a "father figure" who was standing on Arjun's left. Then he said what we showed you above to go on to introducing Arjun when the fun part was added "Yes! I'm talking about Kartik Aaryan". Karan even added to it saying "the 100 crore hero". This was revealed with this full video we saw on Youtube from the Press Con. Varun gave a really interesting and funfilled introductory speech in total that will leave you with a big wide smile.
