Malaika Arora Khan opted for a gorgeous black and maroon sari for the prestigious 58th National Film Awards ceremony in the Delhi on Friday. Others, like singer Rekha Bhardwaj and actress Mahie Gill too, looked elegant in the six-yard wonder at the event.
Malaika was in attendance to receive the award for the Best Popular Film, which went to Dabangg. Not only has she done the hit item number Munni Badnaam Hui in the film, but is also one of the producers. Her beautifully embroidered sari was teamed up with traditional earrings.
Singer Rekha Bharadwaj, who received the Best Female Playback singer award for Badi dheere jali from Ishqiya, looked earthy in a traditional red and gold sari. A big, round, red bindi brought her ethnic ensemble to life.
She enthralled the audience with her live performance as she sang her award-winning number as melodiously as she did in the film, which won a total of four National awards including Best Audiography, Best Audiography (re-recording), Best Music Direction and Best Female Playback Singer.
Dev D actress Mahie Gill, who was recently seen in Ram Gopal Varma's Not A Love Story, looked pretty and sophisticated in a blue sari with a border of paisleys. She matched it with a fuschia pink blouse, and grabbed due attention as the host of the prestigious event, along with actor-filmmaker Rajat Kapoor.
Actress Zarina Wahab was spotted in a mustard sari, while Deepti Naval looked elegant in black.
