IIFA Up Close & Personal: A Disastrous, Infuriating Mess - Page 6

Shahid was in town for almost a week " he arrived on Monday, the first of the stars to come in. Where was he when he wasn't hosting the main awards? God only knows, because he certainly wasn't at any events. He's one of the ones that I heard had his managers blowing off meet and greets and interviews.

I was already a bit disillusioned with too easily chatty Priyanka after the first press conference when she came wearing so much makeup I wondered if she actually had a face at all. She kind of comes off as artificial as her face. Then during IIFA, she was said to take some time with fans at the airport, but she dodged all the green carpets except the last one, when she dutifully marched forward without a single photo or interview with the masses. She performed at IIFA " quite well, actually " and then disappeared mid ceremony, before an award already predetermined for her was given out.

Anupam Kher. Know that bubbly, friendly persona he always has onscreen and online? Completely dour every time he walked the green carpet.

On the flip side, Vivek Oberoi is way nicer than I had ever expected. And when he stepped into the 360 Vine booth, he slow-danced with his wife rather than making crazy faces like everyone else.
