Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer flick ‘3 Idiots’ rocked at the fifty-fifth Filmfare awards function by winning in the best feature film, best director, story, screenplay and supporting actor categories but Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan dumped the function and refused to attend the gala night hosted by Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan.

As was expected Aamir Khan did not turn up at the function but his flick ‘3 Idiots’ made the most of it and won the largest number of prizes. However, the best actor award went to Amitabh Bachchan for his towering performance as Auro in Balki’s ‘Paa’.  Even Kareena Kapoor could not win the award for her role in ‘3 Idiots’ and it went to classical Indian beauty Vidya Balan for her sensitive portrayal of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in Balki’s ‘Paa’.

Another noticeable thing about the award function was the presence of veteran Shashi Kapoor on a wheel chair who was honored with the life time achievement award. Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan, who hosted the fifty-fifth edition of Filmfare awards function held at Yashraj Studios made the atmosphere fun- filled by their witty one liners and humorous acts.

Saif Ali Khan’s act of copying size zero Karenna Kapoor on the stage on the request of Shah Rukh Khan had the audiences in splits. In fact, Saif Ali was perfect as he showed the sexy latkas jhatkas from his sizzling hot beau on the stage before a packed house.

Almost all of bollywood was present in full strength and that included the handsome hunk Hrithik Roshan with wife Suzanne, sultry beauty Bipasha Basu with beau John Abraham, Kajol, Deepika Padukone, Gauri Khan, Vidya Balan, Lara Dutta, Rekha, Sridevi, Tabu and others.

Of course, the absence of Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan was sorely missed at the function. It may be recalled that Aishwarya Rai had decided to dump the award function and Amitabh, Abhishek went with her in this decision of retaliation.
