One of the most iconic (and our favorite) moments from Friday night was when Salman Khan hugged Kaushal on the green carpet. The men, dressed in black, saw each other first when Khan arrived at the venue. A few moments later, Khan was seen walking toward Kaushal and giving him a hug. Khan is one of the star performers at the awards ceremony.

Varun Dhawan's fan of Kim Kardashian
When Varun Dhawan made his appearance on the green carpet, he was asked by the media personnel, "Kim Kardashian said she's a huge fan of your work. What message do you have for her?" To this, Dhawan first said, "Is she? I don't know if she's a huge fan of my work but I am a big fan of her work as well."

Bollywood's dancing sensation Nora Fatehi turned the heat on when she appeared in a bodycon attire on the green carpet. The red spandex outfit made the actor-dancer stand out from others.
