Sci-fi sweep at Star Screen Awards

In contrast, Urmila Matondkar 8212; who grabbed Best Actress for her spine-chilling act in Bhoot 8212; gave a bow to horror. The lady in red, and lady of the evening, quipped, 8216;8216;I think I8217;m the first actress thanking God as well as a bhoot for this award.8217;8217;

The night was touched with magical stage moments like Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini accepting the Star Jodi No 1 for their old-but-very-much-in-love couple play in Ravi Chopra8217;s Baghbaan. The Big B joked that his wife Jaya had refused to accept she wasn8217;t part of this star jodi and so skipped the ceremony. 8216;8216;I thank Star Screen for conceiving this domestic trouble,8217;8217; he said, sotto voce. The other moment daubed with nostalgia was when Rajesh Khanna received the honour for lifetime achievement, from his Aap Ki Kasam co-star Mumtaz.

Saif Ali Khan and Juhi Chawla won for their supporting acts in Kal Ho Naa Ho and 3 Deewarein. Backstage, Saif8217;s good friends and his presenters Kajol and Pooja Bhatt waved the niceties away. 8216;8216;We are going to act as if we are the queens. Come to us,8217;8217; giggled the irrepressible Kajol.

It reflected the bonhomie, the celebration that burst through the night like the shiny fireworks finale.
