Vicky Kaushal was awarded for his fantastic performance in ‘Sardar Udham’ while Kirti Sanon got the prize for her acting in ‘Mimi’ in which she played the role of a surrogate.

Meanwhile, many Bollywood celebs could be seen dancing and performing various songs, with Ananya Pandey setting up the heat with her dance performance on the song ‘Saami Saami’. At the same time, Abhishek Bachchan could be seen dancing and winning hearts on stage and off stage as he was matching steps with his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and daughter Aradhya.
