Pics: Umang 2010
Here's looking at Umang 2010, the annual police mela and the B-Town fun that went down there.
The annual police welfare show Umang 2010 held on Sunday evening at the Andheri Sports Complex had the who's who of the film industry attending. Friends, enemies and frenemies rubbed shoulders at the venue.
Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, John Abraham, Genelia D'Souza, Amisha Patel, etc, made 'guest appearances'while Dharmendra who completed his 'golden jubilee' ( 50 years) in showbiz, was honoured with a special trophy by the city's top cop Sanjeev Dayal.
The Khans, Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman ensured that they didn't steal the show from each other and avoided any 'Khan-frontation.'
As if on cue, Aamir came in first, followed by Salman Khan. When it was time for the finale, it was Shah Rukh's turn to shine under the spotlight, which he shared with Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.
Trying to speak in chaste Marathi seemed to be the challenge of the evening for several star-invitees. Akshay Kumar and co-star Katrina Kaif managed just fine.
However, Aamir proved to be the 'show-stopper.' He got a thunderous applause from the cops when he said, "Forgive my mistakes, don't laugh at me or cry over my poor Marathi," in Marathi.
Then, he sang the 3 Idiots song Zoobi Doobi on stage. But the highlight definitely was Aamir requesting one of the 'lady-cops' (Maadhvi) to sing with him, instead of an actress.
He later declared, "After Sarfarosh, I will once again play a police officer in a yet untitled movie which will go on the floors in March."
Among the newbies who attended the event, it was a sari-clad Sonakshi Sinha (accompanied by Poonam) who proved to be the cynosure of all eyes. Much to the chagrin of the crowds, she seemed hesitant to speak on stage. Maybe Shatrughan hollered 'khaamosh' just before she left for the event.
After his stage performance, Vivek Oberoi made a discreet exit, just before Salman arrived with a bang.
Amitabh Bachchan received a grand welcome as he sashayed in with wife Jaya, and was later felicitated on stage.
