Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan were awarded as best actor and best actress at the star-studded 55th Filmfare Awards ceremony in Mumbai on Saturday night.
Bachchan won the award for his role in ‘Paa’, while Vidya Balan claimed the trophy for her role in the same movie. As Bachchan was not present in the ceremony, Vidya Balan took the award on his behalf.
Amitabh Bachchan and his family, however, chose to skip the star-studded event as a continuation of their protests against the Mumbai Mirror, the tabloid that published false reports about Aishwarya Rai’s health conditions.
A publication that solely belongs to Filmfare, the Mumbai Mirror has been served a legal notice by the Bachchans for refusing to retract their false report. The family has also asked the tabloid for an apology.
Hosting the ceremony was actors Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan, whose one liners had the audience in splits. Their on-stage chemistry was much appreciated by the Bollywood stars present at the ceremony at the Yash Raj Studios.
‘3 Idiots’ was declared the best film, while Rajkumar Hirani claimed the best director award for the movie.
The other highlights of the evening was a tribute to legendary pop singer Michael Jackson by Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor.
