The most coveted celebration of Indian cinema once again brought together Bollywood’s biggest stars for a high-octane night of glitz, glamor and, of course, gossip.
No wonder our Shahrukh Khan has done it again! The superstar took home the black lady for her superlative performance in My Name Is Khan. Indeed, King Khan deserved the adulation, but ignoring Natha from Peepli Live wasn’t a done deal. The little man was not even nominated.
However, the fact that Kajol won the Best Actress award was not a sweet surprise, as the nominations had names like Vidya Balan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Anushka Sharma. (Yes, we do not consider Kareena Kapoor as a nominee.)
Dabangg’s mania caught up at the Filmfare Awards and the film took home the Best Picture award.
Unsurprisingly, Karan Johar was voted Best Director for My Name is Khan.
Mamta Sharma and Sunidhi Chauhan were recognized for singing Munni and Sheila respectively, while Rahat Fateh Ali Khan won Best Play Back Singer (Male) for Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji (Ishqia).
In addition to debuting in the industry, Sonakshi Sinha also made her Filmfare stage debut with her brilliant performance. Priyanka Chopra paid tribute to Madhuri Dixit by performing her most popular songs.
Not only this, Bollywod’s dhak-dhak girl Madhuri Dixit set the stage on fire when she joined Shah Rukh Khan for a riveting performance.
While we leave you with the list of winners, let us know if the winners deserved it.
