Mumbai: IIFA 2017 will be yet more special for Katrina Kaif, as, other than the fact that it's happening at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New York, the event will be aired on July 16, on her birthday.

An excited Katrina, at the IIFA 2017 press conference that happened here yesterday, said, "I am excited that this year, it is happening in one of my favourite cities - New York. It's airing on my birthday, done specially for me."

Salman Khan, who also attended the press meet, added, "That's how the organizers worked up the days. It will be on July 14 and 15 and will be aired on her birthday. The dates, initially were 11, 12 and 13, which did not make any sense," and joked, "It's national holiday, its Katrina Kaif's birthday and now that we will be in New York, the city is going to stand still."

To which the host of the event asked, "basically the whole globe is going to celebrate your birthday, Katrina."

"I am hoping. That's kind of the plan," she replied.

Salman Khan jumped in with a smirk on his face, "Invite me!"

Now that's really cute!

The 'Baar Baar Dekho' actress will turn 34 this year, on July 16.

On the work front, the 'Dabangg' Khan and his former girlfriend Katrina will be soon seen together in Ali Abbas Zafar movie 'Tiger Zinda Hai.'
