Riteish Deshmukh, Boman Irani bring the house down at IIFA Awards 2008

At the recently held IIFA awards in Bangkok, the crowd was in splits and it was because of two of the funniest men in Bollywood. Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, we are talking about Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani.

The two actors were hosting the show and did some really hilarious spoofs on some of the latest popular Bollywood films. While their Sarkar act was a complete riot with Riteish dressed as Big B and Boman as AB Jr., even their spoof on Jodhaa Akbar had a lot of people rolling with laughter. To add on, their humorous take on Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor even had Kareena Kapoor guffawing in her seat.


But one person who didn't seem to be pleased with their funny antics was Madame Katrina Kaif. We wonder if its only Sallu's 10 Ka Dum funny antics that make Kat smile. Nevertheless Bollywood's biggest names didn't mind being made fun of, all in good humor.

Bonding with Bangkok

The Idea IIFA press conference in the morning was a colourful affair. Lady B (Jaya Bachchan) was attired in a pistachio green-and-gold silk salwar kameez. Dia Mirza dressed in something between a cheong and a dress? The actress was seen striding from one corner of the hotel to another with security guards in tow. She appeared to be as busy as the Bachchans though we don’t know with what!

After the IIFA press conference where Amitabh Bachchan and the Indian ambassador to Thailand Latha Reddy were presented two symbolic bowls of rice (rice is the staple diet of Thai and Indians) by two children. AB then planted a sapling at the Dusit Thani hotel park. He reminisced, “This reminds me of last year when I had planted a champa tree at the United Nations and thus grew the tree of friendship. I hope to do that too here in Bangkok.” Bachchan was also presented a huge bronze elephant as a symbol of friendship between the two countries.
