Alia & Varun to perform at kids awards

Mumbai, Nov 30: "Student of The Year" stars Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan are set to perform at Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards 2016, which will be hosted by Manish Paul.

"These awards feel more special because the winner is clearly a favourite of the kids and also boosts our morale to do better and keep entertaining our audiences," Varun said in a statement on being a part of Kids Choice Awards India for the first time.

Manish, who has hosted numerous shows, including the celebrity dance-based show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa", is "super excited" for the awards night, which will take place here on December 5.

"It's a challenge to host live acts and even more challenging when it's for kids because we need to be extra cautious of the gags and jokes we develop. I share a great bond with kids and it's going to be a memorable experience," he said.

The last edition saw superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan gracing the awards ceremony.
