Kareena, Farhan, Sridevi Glam Up ‘NDTV Indian Of The Year’ Evening

At a certain cue, she exclaimed, ‘I’m just a woman in love’. I guess people in love definitely look lovely.

Also present at the awards function were actors Sridevi and Farhan Akhtar.  While everyone at international film circuit lauded Sridevi as the Indian Meryl Streep, she looked extremely contended with earning the awards for the Entertainer of Year, with her comeback film English Vinglish. Sridevi who took a two decade break after her marriage to producer Boney Kapoor, came alive on screen last year as the married middle aged woman trying to find her ground. Sridevi looked glamorous in her turquoise-mustard colored blended saree, teamed with delicate diamond neckpiece and earrings. Actress Kareena Kapoor made a flattering statement that Sridevi was the reason why she diverted towards acting.

Farhan Akhtar reclaimed back his Rock star position by singing songs from his earlier film Rock On. Dressed in black shirt, teamed with steel grey waistcoat and black tie, he looked his handsome best. He also recited a poem he had written for Nirbhaya, the brave heart who succumbed to injuries after sustaining a horrific gang rape on her in Delhi in December last year.

The function was the 6^th edition of NDTV Indian of the Year. It was an important and celebratory occasion for NDTV as it successfully completed its Silver Jubilee. Fostering the concept of Brand India, Brand Bollywood has a quintessential role in fabricating it. Also present at the event were Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, Delhi CM Sheila Dixit, Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah and Pam Chopra, late directorial legend Yash Chopra’s wife.

Pam Chopra was present to posthumously receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for her late husband Yash Chopra, who passed away in October last year.
