The most prestigious Bollywood Awards Filmfare Awards had 3 Idiots winning maximum number of popular awards-6 awards to be specific. Apart from 3 Idiots, Firaaq, Dev D and Paa won many awards. The show was hosted by Shahrukh khan and Saif Ali Khan and the duo were quite a riot. Shahid Kapoor did a performance tribute to the legendary king of pop, Michael Jacksion. The Bachchan family was conspicuous by their absence. They didn’t come to the awards as a mark of protest to the Mumbai Mirror tabloid that published a piece of news that Aishwarya Rai is unable to become pregnant due to stomach tuberculosis.
