| | | | 'SONY' KUDI: Aamna Shariff at the Indian Telly Awards | The Indian Telly Awards was held at the Chitrakut Grounds on Friday, while the Hero Honda Indian Television Awards (HHITA) was held on Saturday at Bhavan's College over the weekend. As usual, there was the round of applause and a fair share of hiccups. Here's the dope on what happened. Aamna: No thanks! Sony's chief creative director Sandiip Sikcand, who has been allegedly poaching actors from the Balaji fold, sent the audience home grinning. He escorted Aamna Shariff hand-in-hand as the curtains came down at the Indian Telly Awards. | | | THERE GOES MY AWARD: Smriti with hubby Zubin Iraani at the HHITA event | This should come as no surprise, since Aamna has been in talks with Sikcand for a new show on Sony. It is now clear that Aamna's deal with Sony has been locked, sealed and delivered. And hey, what did Aamna mean by saying 'Thank you, Sony' when she got the Best Actress award? Doesn't she know that KTH airs on Star Plus, not Sony? We wonder what Star honchos Sameer Nair and Deepak Sehgal have to say about this faux pas (or was it a deliberate attempt to snub Star?). Ekta ke kapde! | | | THAT'S MINE! Ekta Kapoor at the Indian Telly Awards | The Balaji czarina turned up at the Indian Telly Awards in black alright, but several eyebrows were raised over her choice of outfit: a flouncy black skirt and a seriously casual top that would look best over PJs. Some bitchy actresses were overheard saying they were shocked at how Kapoor came dressed so casually to the awards ceremony! No Balaji brigade There was a buzz doing the rounds at the Indian Telly Awards on Friday that Balaji actors had been given instructions not to attend the HHITA event the following day. | | | Am only 'SARI'NADING: Kunika at the HHITA awards | Apparently, Madam Kapoor and HHITA's Anu Ranjan had a tu-tu-main-main, hence the directives from the boss. But a few Balaji actors did turn up, nevertheless (read: winners performers and the rebels). Special treatment Though there were several producers present, Ekta Kapoor, Rajeev Shukla and wife Anuradha Prasad were given special treatment at the Indian Telly Awards. Now you know who matters and who doesn't! Juhi-Anuj: Thanda | | | PEHCHAAN KAUN? Rajshri Thakur at the Indian Telly Awards | Juhi Parmar and Anuj Saxena hosted the final segment of the Indian Telly Awards but their warm vibes could not be seen on stage. It looked like Anuj was having a bad day, as he fumbled and kept wiping his face with a hanky (blame it on the humidity?). Earlier in the evening, there were hiccups in the make-up van when Anuj realised that his clothes were not ready. Apparently, one of the staff had to run over to the nearby Apna Bazar to buy an iron! Certainly pressing problems for Anuj! Vamp take | | | CAN YOU BELIEVE I JUST BAGGED AN AWARD! Rohit Roy with wife Manasi at the HHITA ceremony | When Achint Kaur's name was announced at the HHITA Awards for Best Actress in a Negative Role, it took everyone by surprise. Everyone felt Anchal Dwivedi deserved it for Saat Phere. It must have taken even Achint by surprise, since she was not present to collect the award. Kunika went on stage to accept the trophy on her behalf, and was mistaken for Achint by Ranvir Shourie! Chehra pe chehra The HHITA Awards GR8! Face Of the Year (Male) Award was bagged by Hussain Kuwajerwala and GR8! Face Of The Year (Female) by Mandira Bedi. Both have been around for ages, so we're still wondering why these two were selected when there are plenty of fresh faces around! Kya bolti Rajshri? Rajshri Thakur, who bagged the Best Popular Actress award at the HHITA, turned up in a bizarre outfit and could not speak a single line correctly. Some bitchy actresses commented that even their domestic helps look better! Ouch! Best for what? Rohit Roy bagged the Best Popular Actor award for Virasaat. This was a huge surprise and even Rohit appeared a tad uncomfy, leaving the stage in a hurry. | | | WRONG TRACK: Shveta Salve | Wrong track! Shveta Salve paid a tribute to Helen by performing on the dancing queen's old hits numbers at the HHITA, but it seems the show's producers were a little confused over their choice of tracks. Shveta actually performed to Mera naam hai Shabbo… pyar se mujhe Shabnam kehte hain (originally performed by Bindu) in her tribute! | | | WHO'S THAT BESIDE ME? Asha Parekh at the HHITA | Kissa kursi ka It was surprising to see star sublet Munisha Khatwani plonk herself next to veteran actress Asha Parekh at the HHITA event. Was it because the cameras were certain to zoom in on Parekh? The yesteryear actress didn't even exchange a word with Khatwani! |
