The entire city rolled out the red carpet for Shah Rukh Khan, as crowds lingered even after the Champions Trophy climax | ‘Runaway Bride’ film ‘Lapata Ladies’ bags 10 awards: IIFA’s Jaipur shindig

Ah, the glittering madness of Bollywood! The city of Jaipur just hosted a night so celebrity filled that even the sky felt like a dim bulb in comparison.

The IIFA Awards: A Bollywood Extravaganza

Picture this: Jaipur, the Pink City, transformed into a dazzling spectacle as the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards took center stage. And guess what? The film ‘Lapata Ladies’ swept the board with a whopping 10 awards! Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan must be doing a victory dance somewhere—probably in a room full of golden trophies. 🎉

Oh, the night had it all! Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, the charmers of Bollywood, shook a leg to the classic tune ‘Ghode Jaisi Chaal.’ And if that wasn’t enough, Rekha and Rakesh Roshan took us down memory lane with ‘Hansate Hansate Kat Jaaye Raaste.’ Who knew nostalgia could be so… groovy? 😎

Speaking of groovy, Shahid Kapoor made a grand entry on a scooter, because why not? It’s Bollywood, after all. The stage was his playground as he danced to his movie hits, leaving the audience in awe.

And the Awards Go to…

Kiran Rao bagged the Best Direction award for ‘Lapata Ladies,’ while Ram Sampath snagged the Best Music Direction for the same film. Jubin Nautiyal and Shreya Ghoshal were crowned Best Playback Singers, Male and Female respectively. Jubin’s soulful ‘Dua’ and Shreya’s haunting ‘Ami Je Tomar 3.0’ set the stage ablaze.

Dance, Drama, and a Dash of Retro

The night wasn’t just about the awards. Oh no! It was a carnival of performances. Kareena Kapoor Khan, in a retro avatar, paid tribute to her legendary grandfather with ‘Jeena Yahaan, Marna Yahaan.’ Meanwhile, the evergreen Madhuri Dixit spun her magic with ‘Ghumer’ and ‘Apsara Aali.’ Let’s not forget Shahid Kapoor, who, by now, has probably danced more than he’s walked in his life.

In a moment of pure Bollywood magic, even the green carpet was more dramatic than usual. Nora Fatehi turned heads in a red gown, while Uorfi Javed’s unique outfit choices continued to baffle and bedazzle.

Nisha’s Nutshell

Here’s a little nugget of wisdom from your Bollywood insider: In the world of glitz and glam, remember, the only constant is change—and maybe Rekha’s timeless allure. So, if life gives you a green carpet, strut like a star and dance like nobody’s watching. 🌟

Stay tuned, darlings, because in Bollywood, the drama never ends—it just takes a commercial break!
