Bollywood celebs descended upon Vrundavan Studio in Malad, Mumbai on Saturday night for the Pogo Amazing Kids Awards 2008!

The Pogo Amazing Kids Awards are held in celebration of the children’s channel of the same name. The channel was developed by Turner Entertainment Networks Asia (Tena), and it was created specifically for the Indian market. Akshay Kumar was in attendance and came decked out in full Chinese gear to promote his film, ‘Chandani Chowk to China,’ as he performed an elaborate stage show with children. Also on hand was Akshay’s ‘Chandani CHowk To China’ co-star, Deepika Padukone who came in a red hot dress and a black patent headband, probably to push back her new bangs that she’s recently been getting flack for. Other stars included media queen and Akshay Kumar’s ex, Shilpa Shetty in a low cut orange dress that showed off her sexy curves. She wasn’t voted the best body in Bollywood for nothing! Bollywood starlet Mahima Chaudhary was also there in a black and gold mini as well as top Bollywood crooner Sonu Nigam.


The award show features 24 kid nominees that have been chosen across eight categories including arts, sports, music, singing, dance, genius, leadership and entertainment form Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Bhubaneshwar, Allahbad, Mirzapur, Hyderbad, Bangalore and Chennai! Plus the winners in each category were awarded a benefit policy worth 500,000 rupees and a certificate for their wonderful achievements. Over three thousand kids between the ages of 6-14 entered for the fifth season of the show. The panel of judges that had the hard task of choosing the winners included, Bollywood composer and singer, Shankar Mahadevan, choreographer Ashley Lobo, actor Vinay Pathak, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt’s sister and politician Priya Dutt, commentator Charu Sharma, calculating prodigy Shakuntala Devi and artist Brinda Miller. Wow, seems pretty legit to us! Sounds like a great way for children to strive and be rewarded and acknowledged in a great way!
