    While Khan won the Best Actor Award posthumously for director Homi Adjania’s ‘Angrezi Medium’ (pictured) and was honoured with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Pannu won Best Actress for ‘Thappad’. Her movie also swept up all the major awards, including Best Film for ‘Thappad’, a searing family drama on marital abuse by director Anubhav Sinha. Image Credit: Supplied

    Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana handed the award to Khan’s son Babil, who left a lasting impression on the actor. Khurrana wrote a personal eulogy as a nod to Khan and his son, an actor hopeful. “This is somewhere in Bandra [referring to a mural dedicated to Khan]. But he is somewhere resting in peace. Celebrating his double win. Forever Irfan! Best Actor (Male) and the lifetime achievement award! I had the honour of presenting this Filmfare award to Babil ... Met this beautiful boy for the first time. Would see him do well in future. We artists are unique species. We have our vulnerabilities and imaginations and theories. WE rely on observations and experiences. We live and die a thousand deaths on the celluloid or stage. But the power of those performances make us immortal,” he wrote. Image Credit: Supplied

    Another big winner for the night was Amitabh Bachchan’s satire ‘Gulabo Sitabo’, which won six awards that evening. This critically-applauded film, also starring Khurrana, premiered directly on Amazon Prime Video and skipped the traditional theatrical release. Legendary actor Bachchan, who played a cranky old landlord in this comedy, won the Best Actor (critics) award. Image Credit: Instagram
