So is anyone else as surprised as me to see Aftab Shivdasani at the JD rock awards? I didn’t know he was into Rock, let alone likely to attend a rock show! But he was just one of the many surprise appearances of the night. (Not to mention the strange taste of clothes seen on some of the women.) Alicia Raut didn’t know if she was going for a sangeet or attending an Indian musical night. Again I appeal to Hard Kaur, save the planet stop using Hair spray (she’s got very pretty hair and doesn’t need the added height with all her personality!) Apart from that, the actual awards ceremony was a success minus a mosh pit. Luke Kenny managed to drag the bands who won on stage and even got them to give acceptance speeches. Why are some rockers so shy without their instruments, hmm?
Also spotted was Narendra Kumar, Rocky S., VJ Gaurav, VJ Yudishtir Urs, Shamita Singha, Hrishant Goswami (hottie), Sona Mohapatra, Suchitra Pillai, Uday Benegal, Achla Sachdev, Amrit Kiran Singh, Ehsaan, Loy, N. Radhakrishnan and Mitali Kakkar.

MissMalini says: Psst! Off topic I know but I can’t help but notice how at first glance, Amrit Kiran Singh (Vice President & Area Director for Brown Forman Spirits) resembles Jackie Shroff! I totally did a double-take, I’m just saying.
