Actor Shahid Kapoor has arrived in New York for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) festival with his
toddler daughter Misha and wife Mira Rajput on Wednesday. IIFA's official Instagram account announced the arrival of the Kapoors in the Big Apple with some pictures. Shahid Kapoor was all smiles and Misha looked paparazzi-ready (what's a jet-lag again?). Mira Rajput, wearing an Agrima jacket and carrying a Bottega Veneta tote, walked out of the airport with Shahid and Misha. We love Misha's cute expressions. Shahid Kapoor is nominated in the Best Actor category for his portrayal of drug-addicted rockstar Tommy Singh in Abhishek Chaubey's
Udta Punjab (2016).

Shahid Kapoor and other Bollywood celebrities left for IIFA awards on Tuesday. At the Mumbai airport, Shahid guarded Misha from the camera flash by keeping her face covered. But in New York, he took Misha out of her blanket and introduced her to the foreign media.
Here are pics from the Mumbai airport:
Actor Salman Khan (nominated in Best Actor category for Sultan) was photographed with Helen.
Actor Saif Ali Khan and his children Sara and Ibrahim, actors Alia Bhatt, Kriti Sanon, Disha Patani, and Aditi Rao Hydari also left for IIFA on the same day. Sara Ali Khan, who is debuting opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in Kedarnath, arrived at the airport separately with Ibrahim.
