Mumbai: The 10th edition of the Vogue beauty awards at JW Marriott, Mumbai last night was a star-struck affair last, quite literally. Keeping to the theme of ‘Disco’ for the 2019’s edition of the VBA, Bollywood stars turned up their glittering party attires, and were quite a treat to the eyes.

Sara Ali Khan was a vision to behold in midnight-blue ensemble. Sara’s gown comprised a sheer corset with a feathered skirt paired with black pumps. The actor completed the looks with dewy makeup and small studs with her hair pulled back in a wet look. She won the Fresh Face (Female) award.

For her second appearance at VBA, Kriti Sanon left heads turning in the most brilliant pink outfit by Monisha Jaising. Sanon is known for her affection for prints, however this time she went for a bejeweled outfit in a strong wash of fuchsia pink. Her outfit included a precious stone decorated sheer bodice and a sensational unsettled trail. She took home The Beauty of the Year award.

Malaika Arora left us speechless with her red carpet appearance. There can’t be a better way to describe bold and beautiful. Malaika’s layered ensemble is from the studios of AADNEVIK. Joining her on the red carpet was her sister Amrita Arora, chic and smart in black and gold. Malaika Arora won the Fitspiration-Female award at Vogue Beauty Awards 2019

Sobhita Dhulipala, who is a jury member of the Vogue Beauty Awards, made a splash on the red carpet in a white, one-shouldered, floor-sweeping number by Toni Maticevski. Sunny Leone picked a silver Mark Bumgarner to shine in; Shibani Dandekar broke some rules in thigh high boots and a short peach number.

Shahid Kapoor on Wednesday won the Man of the Decade award, while the Beauty Icon award went to Alia Bhatt at the Vogue Beauty Awards 2019. Sharmila Tagore was felicitated with the Beauty Legend award,Cancer survivors Sonali Bendre and Tahira Kashyap shared the Beauty Warrior award, Vicky Kaushal received the Man of the Year award at Vogue Beauty Awards 2019, Siddhant Chaturvedi won the Fresh Face-Male Award

Naseeruddin Shah is ‘frustrated’: Anupam Kher’s retort to ‘clown’ jibe

Mumbai: Actor Naseeruddin Shah called his industry colleague Anupam Kher a “clown” earlier on Wednesday, and now the latter has responded to the jibe saying Shah is a “frustrated” man despite of all the acclaim he has won.

In an interview with The Wire earlier in the day, Shah opened up about the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and said his fellow actor Kher, who has been “very vocal” in his support to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its policies, is a clown.

Responding to his “A Wednesday” co-star, Kher took to his Twitter to share a video message for him, attributing him as “Jenaab Nasseruddin Shah Saab”.

“I saw the interview you gave about me. Thank you. I would like to inform you that I never take your remarks seriously. Even though I have never bad-mouthed about you. But now I will say — you have spent your entire life (even after achieving success) in frustration. If you can criticise Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rajesh Khanna, Virat Kohli… then I am sure, I am in great company,” Anupam said in the video.

“These celebrities have never replied to your statements and no one has taken your statement seriously because we all know that this is not you… but the external substance you have consumed since years… and that is why you can’t differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. If by saying bad about me gives you the publicity for 2-3 days, then I wish you this happiness. May god bless you. And do you know what is in my blood? Hindustan. Do understand this,” he added.

In an interview with The Wire, Naseeruddin talked about the protests against the CAA, about many Bollywood stars keeping mum over the issue, and also about the student protests and actress Deepika Padukone’s show of solidarity at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), reports hindustantimes.com.

Asked if speaking against the ruling party or voicing opinion could harm actors or the film they are associated with, Shah said actors usually think only of themselves. “Otherwise there’d be more parity. But that’s a story for another day,” he said.

On Anupam, Shah said: “Someone like Anupam Kher has been very vocal. I don’t think he needs to be taken seriously. He’s a clown. Any number of his contemporaries from NFD and FTII can attest to his sycophantic nature. It’s in his blood, he can’t help it.”
