Priyanka, Madhuri, Ranveer, Sidharth Sizzle At SAIFTA

By Sahaja

It was stars, celebration and roaring at the South Africa India Film and Television Awards (SAIFTA) that was held at Durban on Friday, September 6. Performances by Bollywood actors Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh and Sidharth Malhotra set the stage ablaze.

This first ever SAIFTA was as good as it could get. We could see celebs shining in the spotlight and fans going crazy. Now we know that it's not just in India where the fans are so enthusiastic. The South African fans were screaming their lungs out just by seeing their favourite stars. You can probably picture the scene when stars went on to perform on the grand stage.

All the B-Town celebrities who were present at the event were super excited and at the same time nervous to perform on this big stage. We were also able to talk to some celebs before the event began. Sidharth Malhotra was glad to see the fan following outside India. He said, "Well, it's great to see the energy here. People roaring for you is always good. It feels great to come out. Now you feel like an actor outside the country even bigger. So hopefully we'll get many more chances like these to come out and celebrate with them."

Celebs such as Karan Johar, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Abhay Deol too spoke to us on this event. We know you want to see what they wore and said on this big night. That's why we have put down a slide show just for you to have a look at your favourite celebs sizzle at SAIFTA.

Have a look at the slide show for photos and details of SAIFTA.
