Times Food and Nightlife award in Mumbai 17 Nov 2008 | 133 Views | admin
As they say in showbiz, tonight is the night. You may hold your film premieres at the suburban multiplexes. Our Oscars of Food Awards — the Times Food and Nightlife Awards 2008-09, are being held at the ITC Grand Central in Parel. And that’s where the stars will descend this evening. To give away awards; to sample the exotic dinner laid out by 30 of Mumbai’s best restaurants; to perhaps wine and dance; and, to come close to the real stars of the culinary world — Mumbai’s celeb chefs, wicked bartenders and flamboyant restaurateurs, the people being honoured by The Times of India for making life a celebration of the tastebuds.
Salman Khan will be there, he’s a gourmet, he can sniff his ammi’s fingers and tell when she’s made a biryani . And Kajol and Ajay Devgun. Likewise John Abraham, but dressed up — please, like one of the refreshing low-cal salads of the evening. And a whole lot of other foodies from Bollywood and Tellyland with adventurous tastesbuds, some of the hotties and lovelies being finger-licking good themselves! Count Imran Khan, Shriya Saran, Manisha Koirala, Subhash Ghai, Mahima Choudhary, Mandira Bedi, Chetan Hansraj, Vikas Bhalla, Prachi Desai, Mona Singh among them. There are 28 categories of awards in all. Given to establishments plucked out of the pages of Rashmi Uday Singh’s 2008-09 bestselling edition of the Times Food Guide and Times Nightlife. Too many to name here. But you may catch the action at the Times Food & Nightlife Awards on ZOOM, watch Planet Bollywood at 7 pm tomorrow, November 17, and Page 3 Xtreme on Sunday, November 23, at 9 pm.
"As actors, we all want our audience to like our work; so even if you ask me this question after five years I will say yes I want to work harder and harder to be loved by my audience."
~ Imran Khan
