I went to a top Bollywood festival

Press Packer Gianni was lucky enough to go to this year's International Indian Film Academy - Bollywood's answer to the Oscars. He tells us about meeting the stars and talking to the fans. "I love Bollywood. So I went to Yorkshire to do some star spotting. I had my camera, autograph book and media pass. Every year thousands of Bollywood films are made and millions of people all over the world catch them. Amazing actor They are glamorous, fun and full of singing and dancing. I managed to get into a press conference to grab a quick word with my idol, Amitabh Bachchan. I asked him if he ever thought he would become an amazing actor. He said he was just happy to be working in cinema and that people liked him and loved his work. I asked actor Upen Patel what he liked most about Bollywood. He told me that he loves the songs and dances, everything that goes with Bollywood and the emotions which take you to another world. I went to the film premiere and spoke to some fans who had been waiting around for hours. Autograph hunters Olivia, nine, said that she had come to see Shilpa Shetty - to get her autograph and maybe a picture of her. Jayraj, 10, told me that he had been waiting for two hours and wanted to see Upen. The award ceremony is taking place in Sheffield. The stage being built and it is going to look great. All the stars are hoping to get an award."
