The radiant inauguration of the 29th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) on December 5 witnessed a star-studded affair, stacking the event with celebs like Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, and Anil Kapoor, who added a touch of glamour to the captivating opening ceremony. However, the absence of megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan was notably felt, as revealed by the charismatic Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, in a recent viral video.
During KIFF 2023, Mamata Banerjee expressed her heartfelt sentiments about the absence of two Bollywood icons, citing reasons behind their nonattendance.

Despite their physical absence, both megastars extended their warm wishes to the festival, reaffirming their bond with the prestigious event.
Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee showcased her dancing prowess at the event, joining in a lively performance to a spirited Bengali song alongside an ensemble of Bollywood celebrities. The stage came alive with the energetic presence of celebs like Anil Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Salman Khan, Shatrughan Sinha, and more, all united in rhythmic harmony, adding a vibrant touch to the festival’s festivities.
