It's a baggy tale

There's a lady who is rather miffed these days at her name not being included in the list of celebrities that made their way to Macau for the recently concluded Cine Awards, particularly when she took great pains to co-host an entire segment of the awards show with none other than hotshot producer, director and actor, Farhan Akhtar.
Farhan, who along with Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, hosted the show, brought along this "very special someone" to the podium when he arrived."BAGWATI", in her statement hat and glasses, sat on the platform next to the multi-faceted artiste and mumbled sweet nothings at intervals. For those who haven't been introduced, "Bagwati" is the Hermes bag from the film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara that Akhtar had brought to life in Zoya Akhtar's road trip film.
Akhtar, meanwhile, had a blast on the stage with his witty puns and punch lines, while Khan and Chopra kept donning avatars of various actors from the movies nominated in the Best Film category. The playful anchoring by this fabulous foursome (including Bagwati, that is) was clearly enjoyed by the guffawing audience.
