60th Britannia Filmfare Awards 2014: Highlights of the night

The 60th Filmfare Awards was a starry affair. B-town descended on the red carpet in their best glamorous avatars, with several of them bagging the coveted black lady. It was an event of fond memories, entertaining acts and funny moments. VJ Andy was entertaining all on the red carpet, while the whole event was hosted by Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt and Kapil Sharma. We bring to you some of the most memorable moments from the star-studded affair.

It was indeed a special night for Alia Bhatt as the actress was performing with an injury. She played along with Kapil Sharma and confessed on stage that she wants to marry him. Alia said, "Kapil se shaadi karungi because opposites attract." When a shocked Karan asked her if she is out of her mind, Alia said, "If I can adjust with Randeep Hooda, I can manage with Kapil Sharma too." She was also awarded with the Critic's Choice Award for her performance in Highway. Alia Bhatt got emotional on stage and said, "I don't know what to say. Thank you Filmfare and Imtiaz for giving me Highway. Thank you for dealing with me and my tantrums.”

Arjun Kapoor was also one of the performers at the Filmfare night. According to a Mumbai Mirror report, the actor paid a tribute to contemporary superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn through his act. The report further stated that Arjun danced to the tunes of his Tevar hit, 'Main Toh Superman Salman ka fan,' and also a special version of the song which was recorded for the event and went, 'Superman Shah Rukh ka fan.' Reportedly, Arjun Kapoor also performed on hit numbers of 2014 like Happy New Year's 'Indiawaale' and Singham Returns' 'Aata majhi sataklee.'

Salman Khan and Karan Johar are good friends and their rapport was evident at the Filmfare Awards. Karan Johar and Salman Khan will be working together in Shuddhi and it seems like KJo's statement at the function was in sync with it, he said, "Agar Salman ho toh film hit hone ke liye aur kuch cheezon ki jarurat nahi. (If Salman is there in a film then you don't need anything else)." And when Kapil asked the reason behind the blockbuster hits Salman modestly replied, "Mere incompetency ke wajah se hit hoti hai filmein. (It is because of my incompetency that my films are a hit).” The entertaining package didn't end here as Deepika Padukone too came on the stage and was wooed by Karan, Kapil, Sidharth and Salman, as they danced to the hit track of Kick - 'Jumme ki raat.'

Two young guns of Bollywood - Ranbir Kapoor and Varun Dhawan had the audience stunned with their performance. The event started off with Ranbir dancing to the tunes of his hit numbers, 'Balam pichkari,' 'Dilli waali girlfriend' and 'Badtameez dil.' The performance was choreographed by Ganesh Hegde and Ranbir received a huge round of applause. While Varun Dhawan was a bit nervous for the performance, he mesmerised the audience with his retro act. After his performance, Varun said, “It is overwhelming that for the first time I am performing in front of bhai (Salman Khan).”

Karan Johar and Kapil Sharma made for a very hilarious hosting duo. As a part of one of the acts, Karan and Kapil went about giving dialogues to celebs sitting in the audience and asked them to repeat the same in a sexy manner. For Tabu it was, "Mere do anmol ratan.. ek hai Ram, ek Lakhan." While for Deepika Padukone, the dialogue was, "Jab tak tere pair chalenge.. tab tak iski saans chalegi." Kapil Sharma and Karan Johar had also arranged for a paani puri waala to serve some to the guests. Rekha made Shahid Kapoor eat paani puri while Madhuri and Shriram fed each other and Shriram said, "Kuch kuch hota hai... tum nahi samjhogi."

A suave looking Shahid Kapoor turned up at the red carpet, dressed in a black suit for the night. 2014 has been a good year for the actor as he has received a lot of praise for Haider and even won the Filmfare Best Actor (Male) for the same. Filmfare Best Actor (Female) Award went to Kangana Ranaut for Queen. The actress was not present to receive the award but veteran actress Rekha kept the award and delivered it to Kangana at 3 am in the night along with a bouquet of flowers. Needless to say, the lucky actress felt every bit like the Queen she played on-screen.

Veteran actress, Kamini Kaushal, was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at 60th Britannia Filmfare Awards, 2014. While receiving the award from Jaya Bachchan, she said, "It's been a very long but pleasant journey. I had such a supporting family and TOI has a big hand in it. I am missing my gang, most of them are gone. I feel lonely here today. All of them are disappearing and going one by one."
