[tps_footer]The Ghanta Awards is an award presented in recognition of the worst in Bollywood. Getting an award is a joyous moment for most actors, unless it’s The Ghanta Awards, which takes a dig at them or their movies.
Riteish Deshmukh surprised everyone this year by turning up to collect The Ghanta Award 2014, which his movie Grand Masti won in the Anything But Sexy category. Riteish Deshmukh got a standing ovation for being a sport as he is only the second celebrity who has ever attended and accepted a Ghanta Award.
Riteish went on the stage and said, “I never knew I would receive a Ghanta. Thank you for the award.”
Riteish Deshmukh took to twitter to share the news, “Won my first Ghanta Award. Thank You for a wonderful evening.”
None of the other actors turned up to claim their award. Till date, the only other actor who turned up to accept the trophy was Sonam Kapoor, who had won in the WTF Was That Category for Mausam in 2012.
A jury for The Ghanta Awards 2014 comprised of Rajeev Masand, Sudhish Kamath, Aniruddha Guha, Rahul Desai, Naomi Datta and founder of the popular web-comic The Vigil Idiot, Sahil Rizwan. The winners were selected by audience voting.
Actor Arshad Warsi with wife Maria Goretti, Kunal Kapoor, Mini Mathur, Shruti Seth, Archana Puran Singh with her filmmaker husband Parmeet Sethi were among those who attended the show.
Comedians Sorabh Pant, Kunal Rao, Sahil Shah, Sapan Verma and Azeem Banatwalla kept the audience in splits throughout the three-hour show. The night saw spoofs and singing with parodies on Bollywood using songs by the Backstreet Boys and even one Alok Nath, who was a trending topic on twitter last month.
