BOMBAY TIMES (July 26, 2015)

It was one glitzy and entertaining evening as Bollywood stars came together for the first edition of Arab Indo Bollywood Awards in Dubai. The event will air on Indian television this evening. Packing in the most exciting performance of the awards was superstar Salman Khan, who danced to a medley of his chartbusters. Salman was clearly in his element as was seen in his sporting replies to host Karan Johar and Manish Paul's queries on who among Bollywood's current crop he pairs up best with. Priyanka Chopra is said to have made a dhamakedaar entry on a hot air balloon followed by a sizzling act to a mash-up of her hits. Parineeti Chopra added to the entertainment quotient of the evening, as she presented the nominees of 2014's Best Film category. Jacqueline Fernandez turned up the heat with her act and taught Manish Paul how to belly dance in style! Varun Dhawan performed to Jeena Jeena, Tera Hero Idhar Hai, Saturday Saturday and Jee Karda.

Also present at the event were Kriti Sanon, Arbaaz Khan, David Dhawan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Neha Dhupia, Shraddha Kapoor and Kanika Kapoor amongst many others.

The event was replete with side-splitting gags by its celebrity hosts, performances and recognition to deserving performers of 2014.

Lakme Absolute Sculpt AIBA co-powered by Mahindra Centuro and Ditto TV will air at 5.30 pm today on Zee TV.
