Most of the celebrities from Bollywood and television were curious about watching Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor perform together at the People's Choice Awards held on Saturday.
This would have been their first stage performance after their wedding, but to everyone's dismay Kareena Kapoor Khan (as she was addressed) came alone but gave an outstanding performance on her recent hit numbers from Ra.One and Heroine. "Saif is relaxing at home," Kareena merely said.
Rumours about the tiff between Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif were dispelled when one saw Priyanka going upto Katrina and hugging her just before going on the stage to collect her trophy for the best debut in international singing. Few days back there were reports indicating that Katrina was miffed with Priyanka as she lost out on Yashraj's Gunday (Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in lead) top Priyanka.
Bachchan hopped across since he was shooting within the vicinity of awards function and collected his award for the best host for Kaun Banega Crorepati for which he has shot 500 episodes in a span of 12 years. "And I am still not satisfied," he said. He received his award at the hands of Subhash Ghai and Hema Malini.
Salman Khan left without collecting his two trophies but not without giving a standing ovation to one of his favourite singers Sonu Nigam who sang Tenu mein love kar da from Desi Boyz as per the music trend in the last four decades. Priyanka's performance on a medley of songs from Yash Chopra's hit films while paying tribute to him left the audience with a lump in the throat when she said, "Yashji will never say action or cut to me but at least I could pay shraddhanjali to him..." Ranbir Kapoor was bestowed with the favourite youth movie icon award by his all time favourite Madhuri Dixit.
Standup comedian Bharti Singh, who won the award for best comedy actor, had the audience in splits when she went up to the dance sensation Prabhudeva and asked him 'who is more fat, me or Sonakshi Sinha?'.
Prabhudeva was speechless. Ekta Kapoor's show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain got twin honours but she couldn't say much as toothache bothered her. "Perhaps I will come next year to get the best youth icon award," she joked.
The who's who of Bollywood, television and sports attended the first edition of People's Choice Awards in India.
The event was marked by the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Hema Malini, Zarine Khan and many television bigwigs like Samir Soni, Ram Kapoor, Sakshi Tanwar, Dilip Joshi, Anup Soni amongst others. Olympians, the pride of India - Mary Kom, Vijender Singh, Yogeshwar Dutt, Gagan Narang, Sushil Kumar graced the occasion and the latter three were felicitated by Katrina Kaif.
