This year’s Filmfare awards saw the best acting prizes going to the lead actors in Paa, with Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan being named the Best actor and Best actress for their role in the film.
The top grosser ‘3 Idiots’ earned six trophies, including the one for the best film.
The Best actress honor went to Vidya Balan for her riveting performance in Paa as Auro’s mother.
In a witty manner Vidya gave the reply to the hosts Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan, who had earlier poked fun at her a couple of years ago for her dress sense when Shahrukh presented a trophy called the Naa-real Award to Vidya.
While accepting the award at the podium, Vidya stated, “From nariyal to this Black lady, it’s been a great journey at the Filmfare.”
Vidya further continued her spirited winning speech stating, “I thank Balki (director), my parents and Arundhati Nag. Also I would like to add that motherhood is a rewarding feeling, so I am greatly thankful to my son Auro who made me a mother.”
Bachchans skipped the award function
Amitabh Bachchan and his family, however, chose to skip the star-studded event as a continuation of their protests against the Mumbai Mirror, the tabloid that published false reports about Aishwarya Rai’s health conditions.
A publication that solely belongs to Filmfare, the Mumbai Mirror has been served a legal notice by the Bachchans for refusing to retract their false report. The family has also asked the tabloid for an apology.
Vidya Balan therefore collected Amitabh Bachchan’s award on his behalf.
3 Idiots won the award for the best screenplay
The Aamir Khan starrer ‘3 Idiots’ won the best director award for Raj Kumar Hirani. The film also bagged the award for best story, the trophy for which was picked up by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.
