Bollywood Awards has just completed its sixth annual
show. It is considered by many to be the Indian Oscars. It
brings the Indian movie industry into the Hollywood
setting. Hollywood has been extremely supportive. Sharon
Stone, Tyra Banks, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme,
Richard Gere to name only a few, have been present either
on stage or in the audience. Virtually everyone in the
Indian film, music, and fashion industry has flown down
for one of the Bollywood movie, music, and fashion awards.
This past year Rani Mukerjee, Arjun Rampal, Fardeen
Khan, Lara Dutta, Aftab Shivdasani and Boomika Chawla
performed at the awards. He managed a coup of sorts when
Senator Hillary R. Clinton gave a welcome speech via
satellite at the awards presentation.
With the success of the Bollywood and music awards,
Dandona gave birth to another awards programme - the
Fashion Awards. This time though, it was his daughter
Sonia who ran the show. She was just 18 when she co-hosted
the event with superstars Steven Seagal, Nikki Hilton and
Jerry Hall. |
