Shah Rukh Khan singing: The King Khan of Bollywood made his singing debut on ‘I For India’ concert with the lockdown themed song ‘Sab Thik Ho Jaega.’ The song also featured his son AbRam. The 54-year-old star shared the video on Instagram. The ‘Raees’ star also joked, saying:“Look how bad the current time is, even SRK has become a singer! You will see that the times will change, and the system will re-arrange.

Emotional tributes to Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor: The highlight of the evening also included a tribute to late actors Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor by director Mira Nair and Amitabh Bachchan, respectively. While Nair, who directed Khan in ‘The Namesake’ and ‘Salaam Bombay’, spoke about the greatness of the actor and his avid listening skills, Bachchan reminisced about his times with ‘Chintu’ in a nostalgic, personal tribute to the actor, while also sharing why he didn’t visit Kapoor in the hospital. “I never visited him in Hospital .. I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face. But I am certain .. when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile,” Bachchan said. Image Credit: Screengrab

Hrithik Roshan plays the piano: While actor Varun Dhawan danced his way into our hearts, Bollywood heartthrob Roshan sang a song while playing the piano. He wasn’t particularly good, but that’s not the point. Like Khan, Roshan’s musical genius won’t blow your mind, but the collective earnestness shone through. Image Credit: Instagram
