Ekta
Kapoor
doesn't
believe
in
shying
away
from
controversies
and
scandals.
Her
upcoming
Global
Indian
Film
&
Television
Honours
(GIFTH)
promises
to
be
the
most
controversial
award
function
of
the
year.
Balaji
Telefilms
Ltd,
which
is
hosting
the
nation's
first
joint
film
and
television
awards
event,
will
have
Shahrukh
Khan
performing
India's
top
10
controversies
of
2010.
Says
an
insider,
"SRK
will
be
seen
in
the
finale
and
his
act
will
include
taking
off
on
each
controversy
The
Niira
Radia
tapes,
The
Commonwealth
Games
fracas,
the
IPL
controversy
and
a
few
controversies
on
some
B-Town
stars.
The
act
will
end
in
a
huge
burst
of
fireworks
with
SRK
announcing
something
specially
unique!"
Comfort
factor
The
award
function
is
on
February
12,
but
King
Khan
has
yet
to
decide
on
the
list.
He
wants
to
avoid
certain
highly
sensitive
scandals
but
Ekta
is
pressing
him
to
do
it.
Adds
a
source,
"If
Shahrukh
is
not
comfortable
with
the
idea,
then
there
is
another
option
of
taking
off
on
the
top
10
films
of
2010
which
includes
Ekta's
own
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
Dabangg
etc.
There's
another
possibility
of
building
the
act
around
the
top
10
songs
of
2010.
But
Ekta's
heart
is
set
on
the
top
10
controversies
and
she's
hoping
to
persuade
SRK
to
do
it."
It
is
learnt
that
Shobhaa
Kapoor
is
a
huge
Shahrukh
admirer
and
it
is
at
her
insistence
that
SRK
is
doing
the
finale.
Says
a
Balaji
insider,
"Shobhaa
told
them
flatly
when
other
options
were
being
discussed
that
no
award
function
can
happen
without
King
Khan.
So
it
was
one
SRK
(Shobhaa
Ravi
Kapoor)
insisting
on
another
SRK.
Shahrukh's
performance
on
the
Balaji
award
night
in
2008
was
the
highlight
of
the
event
and
this
time
around
Ekta
promises
that
his
act
nothing
short
of
spectacular." Can't
wait,
can
you?
