OSCAR of Bollywood the FILMFARE AWARD Given all that, this year’s event went a notch higher with two superstars playing host and all the others in attendance. Shah Rukh Khan, who had the audience laughing uproariously along with co-host Saif Ali Khan, was there with gorgeous wife Gauri. Kareena Kapoor was sorely missed as she was shooting for an ad. Despite an exhausting night co-hosting the 55th Idea Filmfare Awards with fellow co-star Saif, King Khan decided to squeeze in some tweeting before hitting the sack. Hrithik Roshan carried a kite for obvious reasons.
