The DNA After Hrs Food Awards turned out to be a huge success with food, fun and celebrities all cooking up a great mix. DNA presented 20 awards to restaurants across the city that organised a delectable spread. Held at the Hyatt Regency, the event was packed with celebrities like Kabir Bedi, Talat Aziz, Anurag Kashyap with girlfriend Kalki, Siddharth Kak and others.
While the restaurants received their honours, DNA also gave out some ‘dishy’ honours to celebrities. While model-turned- actress Deepika Padukone won the Dishiest Female Award, Arjun Rampal received the Dishiest Male Award and actress Amrita Rao received the Sweet Tooth Award. The Dishiest Couple Award was taken home by TV stars Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh. Deepika, who was there to receive the honour said, “I thank my manicurist, pedicurist, hair stylist and make-up person. The rest of the ingredients I won’t reveal as good chefs don’t reveal their recipes.” Hosted by Divya Palat, the evening had stand up comedian Vir Das and music band, Something Relevant performing.
