National Film Awards ceremony Black(ed) out !

During the 57th National Awards ceremony which was held on the eve of 22nd of October, 2010 at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, there was something common, something which obviously drew the attention of many. Well it was “Black”..no! Not the movie “Black” but of course, the black colour.


During this ceremony, most of the people from the Indian film fraternity were seen wearing the black colour. Both Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan were seen in formal black suits. On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan’s wife Jaya Bachchan was also seen in a black saree with white motifs. However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the daughter-in-law of the Bachchans was wearing a south Indian silk sari.
