Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who has not gone for the International India Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony here this year, is being missed by actress Dia Mirza.

"Big B's presence is surely missed at the IIFA awards. Not just because of his charismatic personality, also because he is the brand ambassador of IIFA and his speeches are thought provoking, " Dia told.

This year entire Bachchan clan has given IIFA awards a miss at a time when southern film fraternity has threatened to boycott those who will attend the event in the island country.
