Filmfare Awards-Ranbir-Vidya win Best actor Awards

Ranbir-Vidya win Best Actor Awards at Filmfare

(L-R) Ranbir Kapoor and Vidya Balan.

The livewire Ranbir Kapoor and the vivacious Vidya Balan ended up winning top honours at the 58th Idea Filmfare Awards 2012.

According to a report in TOI, Ranbir Kapoor won the Best Actor (Male) Award for his filmBarfi. Interestingly Kapoor did not use mike for his thanksgiving speech. He kept the mike on floor and gave his speech through expressions, without the use of any words like his mute character in Barfi. Karan Johar, who was hosting the segment, claimed this was the best acceptance speech of the night.

Vidya Balan won the Best Actor (Female) Award for her film Kahaani. "This goes to the entire team of Kahaani", said Balan. "And thank you (cinematographer) Setu for making a pregnant women look beautiful. This is very special to all women who have lived their life with courage". Talking about Filmfare, Balan said, "As a child, I would stay glued to the TV to watch Filmfare. And here I am today with a trophy. As the bible says ask and you shall receive".

The Critics Award for Best Actor (Male) was given to Irrfan Khan for his performance of an athelete-turned-dacoit in the film Paan Singh Tomar. The Critics Award for Best Actor (Female) went to Richa Chadda for Gangs of Wasseypur. Manoj Bajpayee presented the award to her.
