Having worked with Stardust for three years in the past, I am much aware of the brouhaha that occurs behind the scenes before and during their award function every year. I am sure it was no different this time. But this year, the Stardust Awards was definitely much bigger and better in terms of the performances, the set and the star attendees. Many got to witness a lot of never-before-seen moments during the ceremony. I am guessing a lot of you caught the show on air last night. For those who didn’t, here are the highlights of the big fat event:
