Child actor Darsheel Safary and actress Tabu bagged the Critics Award for best actor and actress at the 53rd Fair One Filmfare Award 2007 here tonight for their performance in `Taare Zameen Par' and `Cheeni Kum' respectively.

The Bachchans, Ranis, Salmans, Hrithiks and Katrinas failed to show up, but the Preitys, Shah Rukhs, Priyankas, Bipashas, Johns, Saifs, Kareenas and Akshays ensured that the event shone nice and bright. Ably hosted by the sober Vidya Balan and Karan Johar, the crazy but intelligent co-hosts Shah Rukh and Saif were the 'dudes of the evening'. Their wit coupled with their ability to be very rude may have got them on the wrong side of many-a-person, but they surely found a place in the good books of audiences. 

It is hard to be a Kapoor and yet shine froth amongst them. They are known by their savoir-faire in tinsel-town, they have an infinite talent in their genes and exercise an unrelenting sway over Bollywood. However the person we are talking about has managed to surmount all of this and come out on top. We are referring to the famous Rishi Kapoor who is awarded the Filmfare trophy for the Lifetime Achievement Award this year. The award was presented to Rishi Kapoor by his Bobby costar Dimple Kapadia with whom he made a great pair in the 70s and 80s.  Rishi was born on 4th September 1952. He’s the second son of the famous film director and star Raj Kapoor. Rishi first debuted in his father's 1970 film Mera Naam Joker . In the film he worked as a child artist. Later he got his first lead role, opposite Dimple Kapadia, in the popular 1973 film Bobby which became an instant hit with youngsters.  To be born into such an illustrious family does exert certain amount of peer pressure on even an exceptional member of the lineage. Yet, Rishi could leave footsteps that are his exclusive hallmarks in the chequered history of the family.  But playing the lead role in Bobby (1973) along with Dimple Kapadia made not only its protagonists but also the film’s name a household word in the country. Rishi became a heart-throb amongst the Indian youth overnight. He also earned the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 1973 for Bobby and the National Award for Child artist in 1971 for Mera Naam Joker. Deepika is nominated for two awards. The first one is already in her kitty. No surprises for guessing who won the FairOne Fresh Face of the Year  Looking regal in a black off-shoulder Gauri and Nainika gown, the leggy beauty was unperturbed with all the attention coming her way. Deepika confesses, “Its hardly any attention”.  When we probed her for more, Deepika continues, "I am looking for more. It always feels nice to see people recognizing you on the streets. And my head is planted firmly on the ground because of the upbringing that I have got”. She reveals, "Tonight I will party with my family."
