When Anushka Sharma tore her Roberto Cavalli dress for Madhuri Dixit!!

Anushka Sharma may be a star in her own right, but she is a self-avowed fan ofMadhuri Dixit, so much so that Anushka ended up tearing her expensive dress in a mad dash to watch Madhuri perform live at IIFA. It’s an interesting tidbit from the recently held IIFA Awards in Macau. It happened that Anushka stepped on the stage to receive the best supporting actress award (for her role in Jab Tak Hai Jaan) after which she went backstage and later got busy giving sound bytes to the media persons. It’s then that Anushka Sharma came to know that Madhuri Dixit’s act was about to start. Since it was Madhuri’s first ever dance performance at IIFA, Anushka didn’t want to miss it for anything. So leaving everything aside, she made a dash for the auditorium to watch Madhuri’s performance. However, in her excitement, she ended up tearing her expensive Roberto Cavalli dress. Did she regret it? We doubt, for Madhuri Dixit’s performance at IIFA was so stellar that everyone in the crowd got up and gave her a standing ovation. That one moment of unbridled adulation and euphoria could be worth a Cavalli number. Right, Anushka?

IIFA 2013: 'Barfi' bags best film, Ranbir best actor, Vidya best actress

Macau: 'Barfi' scooped top honours at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards, at a ceremony in the Chinese gambling haven of Macau on Saturday that also celebrated a century of Bollywood.

'Barfi', a romantic comedy about a mute and deaf man and his relationship with two women. The movie was praised by critics for its positive portrayal of physically disabled people, a somewhat unusual theme for Bollywood screenplays.

India, the world's biggest film producer, makes more than double the number of Hollywood movies on an annual basis. Already popular in countries with sizable Indian populations, Indian films are also a growing hit with Chinese audiences as well as in Russia and Germany.

Hosted by Bollywood heartthrobs Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, the four-hour ceremony of pulsating dance routines and colourful costume changes was attended by an audience of over seven thousand screaming fans.

Some of Indian cinema's biggest names including Deepika Padukone set the Macau arena alight with high octane performances, while actors like Boman Irani and modern pin ups such as Vidya Balan graced the green carpet.

"We make musicals. I think every film is a musical. Every film has at least six to seven songs," said Ayushmann Khurrana, nominated for best actor after his debut in 'Vicky Donor', a romantic comedy about sperm donation. "So that is how Bollywood is completely different from Hollywood."

Best actress was won by Vidya Balan for 'Kahani' while, Ranbir Kapoor for 'Barfi' took home the award for best actor. 'Barfi' also won the award for best film.

India's film entertainment sector is booming and estimated to generate revenue of close to $5 billion by 2015.

The choice of Macau to host the annual event comes as the gambling hub is pushing to diversify its customer base beyond the traditional casino punter who spends only on the baccarat tables rather than on entertainment, dining and hospitality.

Indian customers are increasingly targeted by the casino operators due to their tendency to stay longer than the average Chinese punter and their heavy spending on non-gaming pastimes.

"I miss Ranbir today. Thank you so much, Ayan, for making me look so wonderful in the film. I miss you and I love you," she said on receiving the awards.

'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' has been directed by Ayan Mukerji and stars Deepika, Ranbir, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. The film clicked at the box office.
