When Ekta danced with Karan on stage!
Ekta Kapoor was ecstatic Friday night. Afterall her first mega telly event was a great success. Television stars from her serials as well as other shows turned up in huge numbers. They were all there, either performing on stage or cheering among the audience. Ronit Roy and Roshni Chopra performed to some Bollywood foottapping numbers. Tusshar Kapoor, Rohit Roy and Shabbir Ahluwalia danced to the Ae Ganpat number. Lara Dutta along with the TV gang — Eijaz Khan, Karan Patel, Jay Bhanushali and Sharad Malhotra out up a performance.
But the highlight of the evening was Ekta Kapoor’s dance with Karan Johar followed by a session of coffee with Karan (of course without the coffee!), where she grilled the director--cum-TV host. When asked to choose between Shahenshah and Badshah, KJo came up with a witty answer: “There’s Akbar coming soon too. So let me choose after that!” Sajid Khan’s witty remarks, as he hosted the show along with Malaika Arora-Khan, kept the audiences in splits.
Almost towards the end of the show was the much-awaited Shah Rukh Khan performance put together by the Morani Brothers. And it was worth the wait as SRK rocked to the Chak De number along with telly women right from Neena Gupta to Smriti Iraani to Divyanka Tripathi, all dressed in blue. Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan who were present at the event were naturally the centre of attention. Guess the couple is slowly getting used to the extra attention they draw wherever they go. Parmeshwar Godrej was present too. Also spotted were Rakesh Roshan and wife Pinky, Suniel and Mana Shetty, Poonam Sinha, Amrita Arora, Aroona Irani, Anju Mahendroo, Preeti Jhangiani, Dheeraj Kumar, J D Majethia among scores of popular TV actors. Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor played the perfect hosts. Veteran filmmaker and TV producer BR Chopra was given the lifetime achievement honour. Ronit Roy and Prachi Desai got the voter’s choice best actor and actress awards. But overall it was not Ekta’s production house that dominated in terms of bagging awards. In fact shows from other production houses won the honours in most categories. Everyone was glad. And so Ekta, the brain behind this grand event.
