SCOOP!! & NEWS Shahrukh and Rani win top honors at IIFA awards12th June 2005 19.50 IST By Agencies Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee , walked away with the Best Actor and Actress trophies as Yashraj Film's Veer Zaara bagged six awards at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards ceremony in Amsterdam. Veer Zaara, directed by veteran director Yash Chopra , bagged awards for Best Picture, Direction, Actor, Supporting Actress, Music Direction and Story with only the Best Actress and supporting Actor awards not going its way. 
The movie, a superhit in India, portrays a love story between an Indian army officer and a Pakistani girl, set in Pakistan. At home it has won nearly all the major awards, including the Filmfare. While Rani Mukherjee won the Best Actress award for Hum Tum , Abhishek Bachchan pipped dad Amitabh Bachchan , to the post by bagging the Best Supporting Actor trophy for his performance in Yuva . Rani also picked up the Best Supporting Actress award for Veer Zaara. The extravaganza at the Amsterdam Arena, which began Saturday evening, stretched upto early hours on Sunday. But the highlight of the evening was Abhishek Bachchan's debut performance on the international stage which saw him shaking a leg to chartbusters from his recent film Bunty Aur Babli and the to-be-released Dus . The Big B and Aishwarya Rai joined him on stage for one of the numbers. Performances by Aishwarya, Salman Khan , Isha Sharwani , Kareena Kapoor , Shahid Kapur and others, complemented by Shiamak Davar's choreography and Vikram Phadnis' costumes, ensured that the four-and-half-hour long event remained a memorable one. Earlier, Shahrukh Khan, also the main host of the ceremony, made a dramatic entry on a horse-drawn carriage. Not to be outdone, Amitabh Bachchan cycled his way to the stage. The Big B then dedicated the ceremony to the memory of Yash Johar and actor Sunil Dutt, who passed away recently. The entire cast of the movie ‘Chocolate’ - Anil Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi, Arshad Warsi, Tanushree Dutta and Sushma Reddy performed to hits from their forthcoming flick while singers Daler Mehndi and Hariharan danced to numbers from their new album 'Destiny'. Others performing at the ceremony included popgroup 'Bombay Rockers'and the all-girl band 'Rouge'. The irrepressible Shahrukh Khan, in his umpteenth avatar as award-ceremony host, could not resist having a dig at the who's who of the film fraternity - be it John Abraham , Anil Kapoor , Rani Mukherjee or Dino Morea. Collaborating with Khan as hosts for specific segments were actor Fardeen Khan and filmmaker Karan Johar . Two days after the Netherlands named a special variety of tulip after her, Aishwarya Rai bagged a special 'Global Indian Media Personality' award, while Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta were honoured as the Style Icon and Style Diva of the Year. Akshay Kumar was adjudged the Best Actor in a comic role for his performance in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi while hot favourite John Abraham, won the Best performance in a negative role award for Dhoom . Ayesha Takia , who starred in 'Taarzan' and 'Socha Na Tha' bagged the Best Debut award for 2004. In an irony of sorts, the late Madan Mohan won the Best Music Director award for ‘Veer-Zaara’. The music composer's son Sanjeev Kohli made an emotional speech on the occasion, recalling how his father who had never won any popular award during his lifetime, won this award 30 years after his death. Filmmaker Farah Khan, picked up the Best Debut Director award for her blockbuster hit Main Hoon Na , while Aditya Chopra bagged the Best Story award for 'Veer Zaara'. Among the technical awards, Maqbool won for Best Dialogue and Screenplay, while Mujhse Shaadi Karoge picked up four awards for Best Choreography (Farah Khan), Art Direction, Background Score and Costume.
