Harman, Kareena named worst actors at Golden Kela awards



Bollywood actor Harman Baweja was named worst actor and Kareena Kapoor got the worst actress title Friday night at the second annual Golden Kela awards, a spin-off on Hollywood's Razzies.

Baweja won the Worst Actor award for his performance in dud What's Your Raashee?while Kareena was adjudged Worst Actress for her role in Kambakkht Ishq.

The chief guest of the evening was Bollywood funnyman Cyrus Broacha, who was awarded the Cyrus Broacha Memorial Award.

"It's great. I'm thrilled. I hope to win this award every year," Cyrus said in his cheeky fashion.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar won the Bas Kijiye Bahut Ho Gaya (Please stop its Enough) Award!, asking him to stop making films. In a great crossover moment, even Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards won the Baawra Ho Gaya Hai Ke (Have you gone muts) Award for participating in expensive flopKambakkht Ishq alongside Kareena and Akshay Kumar.

The worst supporting actor (male and female) went to Ranvir Shorey and Deepika Padukone respectively for their roles in Chandni Chowk To China. While the worst film went to Kambakkht Ishq, Ashutosh Gowariker was declared worst director forWhat's Your Raashee?.

The function at the India Habitat Centre in Delhi was complete with digs at actors, from old timers to the new ones.

After hearing open digs at veteran actors Rajendra Kumar, late Feroz Khan and filmmaker Yash Chopra, Cyrus said: "If we want to abuse, we should abuse everybody."

Rahul Ram, the vocalist of popular band Indian Ocean performed a humorous take on the song Nani teri morni.. and Raat ke musafir.

Jackky Bhagnani and Shruti Haasan were declared the worst newcomer actors for their roles in Kal Kissne Dekha and Luck respectively.

Rani Mukerji-starrer Dil Bole Hadippa! was given the Most Original Story award for being copied from Hollywood's She's The Man while her pairing with Shahid Kapoor in the same was named the Worst Pair.

In the special award winners category were director Kabir Khan and producer Aditya Chopra who were the recipients of a Lajja (Shame) Award for the Worst Treatment of a Serious Issue in New York, Abhishek Bachchan won the Dara Singh Award for worst accent in Delhi-6.

In the same category, an Insensitivity Award went to Chandni Chowk To China while a Black Award for Emotional Blackmail went to Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Paa.

None of the stars named for the awards were present at the gala.

Launched by Random magazine last year, the gala is a spin-off on Hollywood's Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as the Razzies, which recognises the worst in cinema.

The categories and the nominees were shortlisted by the editorial board of the magazine and were selected via an online public poll on the website






The Delhi government has decided to increase the security deposit for cutting a tree from Rs 1,000 to Rs 28,000.
The state cabinet approved the changes on Wednesday.
Chief minister Sheila Dikshit said she hoped it would discourage people from cutting trees unnecessarily.
As of now, people who want to cut a tree are required to take permission and then deposit Rs 1,000 per tree as security money, which is refunded after they plant 10 trees for each one they cut.
According to an environment department official, it costs nearly Rs 2,500 to plant one sapling and people prefer to forefeit the security deposit rather than planting 10 trees.
Applicants wishing to cut a tree will now have to deposit Rs 28,000 as the security money and this will be split into two categories, said an official.
"Half of it would be given to the forest department that will replant five of the 10 trees required to be planted. The remaining half would be refunded to the applicant after he plants the five trees," the official added.
Dikshit said it was becoming difficult to ensure that the trees being cut were replaced as per the law.
"Because of non-availability of land, meagre amount of security and the inadequacy of monitoring mechanism, it was becoming difficult to ensure compensatory plantation," she said.
