Shahrukh Dances To The Tunes Of Salman At IIFA Awards

Despite of his knee injury the Bollywood badshah Shahrukh Khan chose to make his audience dance to his steps, and Salman Khan’s too!
“If I can’t dance, I’ll make sure everyone dances here in Toronto tonight,” he said as he spoke to the over 20,000-strong audience at the Roger’s Centre for the 12th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony on Saturday night.
The 45-year-old, who kept making off-and-on appearances on stage during the event, was the grand finale performer. Though his performance started with a bang with the peppy number Say shava shava, but within a minute it ended leaving fans disappointed.
Little did anyone know that Shah Rukh had more in store for his fans.
“Today, I’ll teach you guys different techniques used in Bollywood dancing,” he told his fans.
He took the help of choreographer Shiamak Davar’s troupe members in getting thousands of people dancing in the stadium, a key landmark in Toronto.
Teaching his fans how to sway to Say shava shava, Shah Rukh suggested the fans to presume they had to “pull the flush and knock the door”.
Shah Rukh threw another surprise when he chose the title track of his friend-turned-foe Salman Khan’s Dabangg for the activity. He even imitated the typical Salman step wherein he keeps his hands inside the pants’ pockets, and moves them side to side.
“This step was made because the trousers were made extremely lose,” he quipped.
Aamir’s Khandaala and Jeetendra’s Dhal gaya din were also on Shah Rukh’s list of dance numbers to be taught. He had colourful hankerchieves and brooms as props for his dance class!
Trust Shah Rukh to engage his audience like no one does.
The audience was, of course, more than elated.
“This gesture of Shah Rukh of teaching us dance steps was very cool. We felt like a part of the whole celebration, and not just spectators,” Riddhima Roy, a 20-year-old, said.
A foreigner said, “It’s a great way to learn Bollywood dancing in a humourous way!”  Source

IIFA Awards - Priyanka Chopra To Perform For Asha Bhosle

As most B-Towners have reached Toronto for International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, 2011, Hit list discovers that the usually confident Priyanka Chopra is quite nervous about her stage performance at the ceremony.
The usually confident Priyanka, who has been chosen to pay a tribute to Asha Bhosle in a special performance at IIFA this year, feels this is too tall an order for her.
Says a source, “Priyanka is confident enough to pull off any stage performance. However, this time she is flummoxed. A dance tribute to the songs of Ashaji seemed like a formidable task to her. She wanted to beg off.”
The homage to the singing legend that Priyanka will perform is to be choreographed by Shiamak Davar. We have learnt that when Asha Bhosle heard of the tribute plan, she insisted that only Priyanka do it.
Says a source, “Other A-list actresses including Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and even Sonakshi Sinha were considered for the homage. But Ashaji felt only Priyanka had the namak on her face, the chulbula sexiness to convey the sensuousness of her throat. Moreover, Priyanka Chopra is a singer herself, so she understands the nuances in Ashaji’s voice.”
In the past few weeks, the actress has become an expert on Ashaji’s songs. Says the source, “Lately, the young actress has watched the legendary singer’s songs so many times that she knows them by heart now.”
While Priyanka maintains that the homage in Toronto is a ’secret’, Sabbas Joseph of Wizcraft, the official organisers of IIFA in Canada, confirms, “Yes, Priyanka is giving a tribute to Ashaji, who will receive an award for outstanding contribution to Indian cinema. Shiamak will choreograph the tribute.”
Davar, says, “When one does a tribute to a legend like Ashaji one has to be faithful to the originals. But I love interpreting songs in my own way as always. I love Ashaji’s songs. They’re timeless. I’ve redeveloped the whole era with my properties and costumes. I am sure Priyanka will do a good job.” Source

Shahrukh Khan Insults Zeenat Aman At Screen Awards ?

The King Khan Shah Rukh Khan was at his wittiest best when he hosted the Screen Awards 2011, yet, our controversy stricken actor inadvertently made some unsavoury remarks on a few aging Bollywood beauties.
Buzz has it that when Asha Parekh and Zeenat Aman came on the stage, SRK made highly inappropriate remarks on their anatomy, which offended the senior actresses.
However, talking to a daily, Ms Parekh said, “We were not upset at all. We were told before the awards what he was to say and we were happy. There was nothing derogatory in Shah Rukh`s remarks.”
While Zeenat Aman added, “It was all done in good humour and jest. Shah Rukh was telling me to teach Shahid Kapur how to pout. There was no animosity or malice behind his comments — just clean fun. In life, one should be able to laugh at oneself and not take everything so seriously. There were no personal digs or making fun of anybody.” Source

Bollywood star Salman Khan Tuesday triumphed at the 6th edition of the Chevrolet Apsara Film & Television Producers Guild Awards by bagging the best actor prize for hit comedy “Dabangg”, which was declared the best film.
“Dabangg”, released last year, was Arbaaz Khan’s first film as a producer and became the biggest grosser of the year at the box office. Directed by first time director Abhinav Kashyap, the film also introduced Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha. It gave 2009’s best item number “Munni Badnam” too.
Karan Johar got the best director award for “My Name Is Khan”. Set in a tumultuous post 9/11 America, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan as a Aspergers syndrome patient who sets out on a journey to prove that every Khan is not a terrorist.
In the best actress category there was a tie between Vidya Balan and Anushka Sharma – while the former was awarded for her stupendous performance in critically acclaimed “Ishqiya”, the latter was honoured for her role in the successful film “Band Baaja Baraat”. Source
