Snippets from Stardust awards

• Akshay Kumar was backstage when his name was announced as the winner of the Stardust Award for Best Actor of the Year.

He came running to the stage and was too breathless to give a speech. Afterwards, AK went to the temple near his house to take blessings.

• The 'maximum cleavage contest' at the ceremony was between Preeti Jhangiani, Divya Dutta and Amisha Patel, all who came in flashing their assets. And to think they all began with such contrary images

• An almost-bald Saif came all the way from Wai near Mahabaleshwar where he was shooting. After the show, he drove back the same night.

• Riteish Deshmukh couldn't believe he got the Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Kya Kool Hain Hum), over Abhishek Bachchan in Sarkar. He admitted, "I had come to cheer for Abhishek but this is a huge surprise."

Then he thanked his dad Vilasrao Deshmukh who was sitting in the audience. "Papa ho toh aise," he said.

• Rekha's performance to the Kaisi Paheli song from Parineeta received a standing ovation.

The cameras were on Jaya Bachchan's face when Rekha's act was on. "I've been in the industry for 32 years and I want to be here for the next 68 years as well," said Rekha.

• Rani Mukherjee was in the midst of a dress change when he name was announced for the Star of the Year Award (for Black). Jaya Bachchan waited on stage to present the trophy to her.

Finally Sanjay Bhansali took it on her behalf. Later, Rani came on the stage and the trophy was presented to her by Vilasrao Deshmukh.
