Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period love saga Bajirao Mastani continued its winning streak by taking home maximum trophies at the Times of India Film Awards - 2016 including the best


director prize for the filmmaker and best actor honour for Ranveer Singh. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period love saga _Bajirao Mastani _continued its winning streak by taking home maximum


trophies at the Times of India Film Awards - 2016 including the best director prize for the filmmaker and best actor honour for Ranveer Singh. An awards season favourite this year, _Bajirao


Mastani_ also earned Priyanka Chopra the best supporting actress award, best playback singer trophy (female) for Shreya Ghoshal and composer of the year award for Bhansali ('Deewani


Mastani'). The movie, however, lost the best film award to Kabir Khan's 2015 blockbuster _Bajrangi Bhaijaan_, which was widely appreciated for its emotional story of a Pakistani


deaf and mute girl who is rescued by a Hanuman devotee, played by super star Salman Khan. While Bhansali kept his award acceptance speech short and sweet, his lead actor appeared overwhelmed


and took some time on the stage to thank the filmmaker. Addressing to Bhansali, Ranveer said, "You are an inspiring man. I am something else when I work with you. I hope our


collaboration continues and we work together again to entertain audience." When his name was announced, Ranveer pulled Bhansali in a long bear hug and kissed him before walking up to


the stage. Ranveer was presented the award by an entrepreneur but it seemed the 30-year-old wanted to make the most of the moment as he asked superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was hosting the


segment, to come and present him his best actor trophy. Kabir Khan dedicated the best film honour to the movie's star and co-producer Salman. For her endearing turn as bucked-teeth


Dattoo in Anand L Rai's "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", Kangana Ranaut won the best actress award. Krishika Lulla of Eros International, the film's co-producers, accepted on


the behalf of the actress. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan won the best actor critics choice award for his portrayal of a cranky father in "Piku". The 73-year-old, while thanking


audience for its support, said he was glad people were finally accepting films like "Piku". Kalki Koechlin picked the best actress critics choice award for "Margarita, With A


Straw". The best supporting actor (male) award went to Anil Kapoor for his performance in Zoya Akhtar's "Dil Dhadakne Do". Deepak Dobriyal was honoured with the award for


the best actor in a comic role for "Tanu Weds Manu Returns". Sooraj Pancholi bagged the best debutant (male) trophy for last year's forgettable movie "Hero", while


Bhumi Pedneker took home the best debutant (female) award for her acclaimed performance as an "over-sized" bride in romantic-comedy-drama "Dum Laga Ke Haisha". Neeraj


Ghaywan took home the best debutant director prize for his work on "Masaan". Best album award went to "Roy", while Varun Grover bagged the best lyricist honour for


"Moh Moh Ke Dhaage" ('Dum Lagake Haisha'). The sweet melody also earned Papon the best singer (male) award. The award ceremony, held last night at the Dubai International


Stadium, were hosted by Riteish Deshmukh, Parineeti Chopra (in a pair) and Manish Paul. Bachchan was also honoured with the living legend award, which was presented to him by Anil Kapoor at


the second edition of TOIFA. SRK, SALMAN, RANVEER AND KAREENA PERFORM FOR THE AUDIENCE Another highlight of the event remained the presence of stars Shah Rukh, Salman, Ranveer and Kareena


Kapoor Khan, who, among others, captivated the audiences with their performances. Shah Rukh received the loudest cheers and the warmest reception by the audience as he made his way on the


stage for his short but engaging performance. The 50-year-old actor performed on his hits like "Gerua", "Chhaiyaan Chhaiyaan" and the latest rage "Jabra Fan",


and with his dimpled smile, signature arm-stretching pose and infectious energy enthralled the audience, so much so that people stood on their seats to see him perform. Salman paid a tribute


to the Bollywood heroes including his close friends Shah Rukh, Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt. Though the star looked a bit lost during his act, it was saved by his high-octane performance


which he maintained throughout his over-five minute performance. Ranveer paid a dancing tribute to Bachchan by performing on his hits like "Pag Ghungroo", "Jumma Chumma",


"Saara Zamana" and "Kajra Re". The actor got Bachchan on the stage and made him do a little jig on "Kajra Re", giving a befitting end to his act. >

setting. Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, who is back in the music after a short hiatus, got the crowd grooving on his chartbusters and even had Varun and Ranveer come on stage and perform with


him. Among the hosts, Riteish's impeccable comic timing added right punches to quirk up the long night, while Parineeti provided the able support with her effervescence and smart stage


presence. > Hosting with the man himself!!!! No words :) :) @iamsrk > pic.twitter.com/rck4qvnH3X > — Parineeti Chopra (@ParineetiChopra) March 18, 2016 In one of the segments, the


duo jokingly read out some predictions made by an imaginary astrologer. "15 years later, Salman Khan is still single, Karan Johar is also 'still' single and John Abraham is


still trying to act," they quipped, evoking laughter from the audience. Manish, a hosting regular, engaged with the stars to entertain the audience. One such example was when he asked


actor Varun Dhawan to do a seductive dance for the crowd. Like a true sport, the young star did a small jig at his number "Mann ma emotion jaage" much to the audience's


delight.
