Absolutely gorgeous. A nice shimmer, a 3D look and tactile difference – and Priyanka looks nice too I don’t know for sure, but this sure looks like Malhotra saree to me! It has all the classic elements of his playful vision.

And, here is Anushaka in her Sabyasatchi saree.

By the time that the assembled Bollywood royalty had danced, sang, talked, paid tribute in an endless cycle of career awards and indulged two comics in dozens of low-brow skits, many people had already had more than enough. The throng of 40,000 that took their seats in the Rogers Centre at 7 p.m. had thinned out in a swirl of saris up the aisles.

But there were still thousands left to cheer the popular action film Dabangg when it won as best film. It pushed aside the even more popular My Name is Khan, the highest grossing Indian film of 2010 both in India and internationally. Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr. was part of the best picture presentation team. He proclaimed his love for Bollywood cinema, said he would be happy to star in one and then did a fabulous hip hop version of a Bollywood dance move while the Rogers Centre erupted in cheers.
