Lux Golden Rose Awards marks its 3rd successful year in support of UN’s HeForShe initiative

The 3rd edition of the Lux Golden Rose Awards (LGRA), which was recently held at NSCI Dome in Mumbai, congregated B-town’s biggest and brightest stars across eras to extend their support for UN’s HeForShe campaign and to stand in solidarity for gender equality in a one of its kind extravaganza celebrating female cinematic legends of the silver screen.

Mindshare Fulcrum anchored the entire event with Star TV and Hotstar for content creation and broadcasting of the main award ceremony. We also partnered with Hindustan Times, Fever 104 FM, Pinkvilla, Facebook and BeBeautiful for ancillary content creation. Celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aparshakti Khurrana, Guru Randhawa and popular TV actors like Karan Tacker, Karan Kundrra, Nakuul Mehta and Mohit Malik joined the country’s first and one of its kind “I am HeForShe” movement.

The ceremony was a grand affair and was graced by some of the most legendary and popular faces of the fraternity like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Karan Johar, Rekha, Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit- Nene, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kajol, Hema Malini, Zeenat Aman, Helen and many more.

The performers entertained audiences with their mesmerizing and colourful jigs, and the novel combination of hosts had all in splits throughout the evening. Shahrukh Khan’s evergreen wit combined with Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar’s hilarious dramatics was very well received and appreciated.

B Town regulars and other spectators for the evening were in for a memorable surprise as they watched leading B-town male celebrities pay tribute to some of the most loved Divas of Bollywood for their immense contribution in their professional and personal lives.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, as usual, left audiences spell-bound being her vivacious self as she performed on superhit tracks of her male co-stars. Charming superstar, Varun Dhawan’s performance was a tribute, celebrating the gorgeous women he has had the chance to share screen space with.

The evening also housed a sizzling performance from this year’s star debutants, the lovely ‘Dhadak’ pair Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan who performed on hits like Dhadak, Jugni, Kar Har Maidan Fateh and the chartbusting Zingaat but the star performance of the night was by none other than the Dhak-Dhak girl of Bollywood Madhuri Dixit, who performed to Hema Malini’s Dreamgirl and to Helen’s Yeh Mera Dil. She is also seen dancing to late actress Sridevi’s Hawa Hawai and her own song, Tamma Tamma Loge.

The night ended on a high note with the ruling men of Bollywood – The Badshah and Khiladi along with the super charming Varun Dhawan who came together to celebrate these iconic women and the women of the country – the Lux HeForShe finale.
