July 7, 2013

IIFA_AwardMacau, Jul 7: Vidya Balan took home the Best Actress award at IIFA 2013 for her portrayal of a pregnant woman in search of her husband in 'Kahaani' while Ranbir Kapoor was named Best Actor for 'Barfi!' here on Saturday.

While receiving her award from Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya made a special mention of her director Shoojit Sircar.

"I want to dedicate this award to my director Shoojit.

This award belongs to him. No one has ever loved anyone else's wife as Shoojit loved Vidya Bagchi (name of her character) in the film. I am never short of awards and won my first award at IIFA Amsterdam after I played Abhishek's wife in 'Paa'," she said.

Ranbir, who played a deaf-mute boy in 'Barfi!', was not present at the ceremony and the gong was accepted on his behalf by the film's director Anurag Basu.

These trophies are the Ranbir and Vidya's second best actor awards after they bagged the same honours for 'Rockstar' and 'The Dirty Picture' respectively.

Basu's romantic-comedy 'Barfi!', which won many awards throughout the year, bagged the best film, director, story and music awards at the 14th edition of the Bollywood extravaganza leaving behind 'Agneepath', 'Vicky Donor' and 'Gangs of Wasseypur'.

Former couple Ranbir and Deepika Padukone won best Jodi award.

Deepika, on accepting the award, said, "I love Ranbir and (am) missing him."

'Vicky Donor' stars Yami Gautam and Ayushmann Khurrana won the best debut awards in the female and male categories, respectively.

'English Vinglish' helmer Gauri Shinde bagged the best debut director award.

"It feels like I am living in a dream. This is going to be my last debut award. In future, if I don't get any award I will be happy in every situation," Ayushmann said.

The glitzy ceremony kicked off with a dance by Bachchan while other celebrities like Sridevi, Prabhudeva, Sushant Singh Rajput, Madhuri Dixit and Deepika Padukone, too, gave scintillating performances.

The producer said having Jackie on board will add to the film's expectations.

"... I am confident no one will be disappointed by this double dose of Shroffs and will stand as a strong USP," Nadiadwala added.

New Delhi, Jun 6: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took the internet by storm as he posted a picture of himself in the dark 'Joker' avatar on Saturday.

Artist Swapnil Pawar transformed Khurrana into the 'Joker' through his artwork which the actor posted on his Instagram.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it ... I'm an Agent of Chaos!" Khurrana quoted a famous dialogue from the film 'Joker' in the caption.

The 35-year-old actor, who hasn't played an outright negative role in his career further revealed his fascination for negative characters in the caption.

"Sinister, menacing, evil, cold, conniving yet brilliant, genius - have always thought of playing a negative character like Joker. Thank you @swapnilmpawar for reading my mind and this incredible artwork!" he wrote.

Khurrana believes that though it is good to portray different roles and he would love to play a negative character but the message at the end should be positive.

"I will be happy to play a negative character. I would love to play a morally corrupt person. That will be out of my realm. But the message, at the end of the day, should be positive. I don't want to endorse wrongdoings on screen," he said.

The new look of the 'Article 15' actor won hearts as the post was flooded with scores of comments from his fans.
