Filmfare Achievers Night 2021 – The biggest entertainer of the year
The Filmfare Middle East Achievers Night took place this year on 28th October at Meydan, Dubai and it was full of shine and glamour with 8000+ crowd, 1000 VIP guests, and more than 100 celebrities from India and Pakistan.
The night was filled with performances by Egyptian superstar Mohamad Ramadan, Sunny Leone, Urvashi Rautela and Tulsi Kumar.
The iconic Zeenat Aman was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award and delivered a stirring speech. The legendary actress who’s always remembered for her iconic songs such as ‘Dum Maro Dum’ proved that she has still got it. At the request of the anchor, she recited the famous verses of ‘Chura Liya Hain Tumne Jo Dil Ko’ in her inimitable classy voice.
She also regaled her fans how this Filmfare Middle East Lifetime Achievement honour was a significant moment in her life.
Sunny Leone made a stunning entry in a velvet palanquin and was dressed in a stunning minidress and thigh-high boots.
The beautiful Kajol was also there and she was awarded with the Filmfare Middle East Powerhouse Performer For Over Two Decades award by ace designer Manish Malhotra.
Nora Fatehi performed to a medley of songs in a tribute to Zeenat Aman. Dressed in a red crop top and skirt with high slits, she swayed to Aman’s biggest hits. Her turn in ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ and ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ was splendid.
The former Miss World, who was honoured with the Beauty For Social Good award for Project Shakti, brought her fashion A-game onto the red carpet. Dressed in an off-shoulder, voluminous fuchsia gown, she looked like a vision in pink
Pakistani artists including Mahirah Khan, Sajal Aly, Ahad Raza Mir Shehryar Munawar Siddiqui and Maya Ali were also the part of that eventful night.
Mahirah Khan spoke about how art can bolster cultural ties between nations. The Filmfare Middle East Night saw a confluence of Arab, Indian, and Pakistani talents under one roof. “What is truly lovely about being here is that it shows art transcends boundaries and borders. I say this all the time. When I am standing here, I am wearing my country’s flag on my back but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate all the other people and achievers who are here. I admire them. This is for art and art alone,” said Khan raising her trophy in the air.
