Chosen by the people, created by the people, designed for the people, the Zee Cine Awards showed that talent and popular taste go hand in hand
It was a night to remember. The Zee Cine Awards 2013 was full of glitz and glamour, an occasion when the stars came down to earth in a blaze of filmi glory. Ably anchored by first-timer Abhishek Bachchan and his buddy Riteish Deshmukh, the show was full of masti and magic, with some serious and sad moments when those who had passed away over the year were remembered. There was action, stunt-baazi, naach gaana and lots of beautiful people dressed in their fashionable best. What could be more Bollywood than this?
