Malaika Arora

Malaika Arora is a celebrated actress, producer, model, dancer, and television personality, widely recognised as one of Bollywood's most iconic performers. With a career spanning over two decades, she continues to set benchmarks in style, talent, and influence.

She rose to fame with her unforgettable performance in the cult classic song 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' from Dil Se (1998), establishing herself as a powerhouse of dance and screen presence. From headlining ad campaigns to starring in music videos and blockbuster item numbers, Malaika became a trendsetter in Indian pop culture.

As a producer, she co-created the hit film Dabangg (2010), which went on to win major honours including Filmfare and National Film Awards. Her more recent work, including a special appearance in An Action Hero (2022), was met with critical praise.

From the runway to the silver screen and reality TV, Malaika remains an enduring icon of grace, glamour, and talent.

IFFM 2025 is thrilled to welcome Malaika Arora once again as the judge for the Remitly IFFM Dance Competition, bringing her signature energy and eye for excellence to the stage.
