Piku producers almost lose life in an awards function

Here is a scene from an awards function this week that you will

 

definitely not get to see on television. While Sneha Rajini of SonyPiku producers almost lose life in an awards function

 

Pictures was on stage receiving an award for Piku, a huge sandbag fell

 

from overhead just inches away from where Ms Rajini stood.

 

Says a prominent invitee at the function, "We were all stunned. The

 

sandbag missed the lady by a hair's breadth. If it had hit her, she

 

would've lost her life."

 

This was not the only mishap, bordering on near-catastrophe that

 

happened at the above awards function. Apparently, the fireworks during

 

a performance by Sonakshi Sinha flew off the stage and ignited the

 

carpet down below where the spectators sat stunned more by the

 

unscheduled excitement than the pre-planned items.

 

At an earlier awards function this season, Alia Bhatt's hand was burnt

 

during her performance.

 

In the furious rush to get stars together for the multiplicity of

 

awards functions, are the organizers flaunting safety rules?

 

Piku writer Juhi Chaturvedi, who was on stage with Sneha Rajani, says,

 

"The sandbag fell very, very close to where we were standing. We were

 

saved by divine intervention."

 

Are the awards functions flaunting safety rules in the hurry to catch the stars?

 

No wonder Vishal Bhardwaj spoke out recently against the awards

 

functions and how they keep audiences waiting hungry and thirsty for

 

many hours before the function actually starts.

 

Have the awards functions lost their relevance and become desperate

 

television tamashas?

 

Says Juhi Chaturvedi, "Perhaps we are still celebrating films more for

 

their collections rather than content. I am not sure that not attending

 

these awards will be able to change this outlook. But, I agree with

 

Vishal, in some way the message has to be conveyed that things are

 

not right...At the awards function mentioned above, I sat famished for

 

a few hours, just like everyone else."
