Preity Zinta and Amrita Rao

Here's what your favourite celebrities have been upto.

Even though the BCCI top brass boycotted the inaugural IPL Awards Night held at a suburban hotel in Mumbai (in the wake of the spat with IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi), Bollywood stars more than made up for their absence.

The awards night, to honour the best-performing players in the IPL over the last month and a half, was a Bollywood-style entertainment extravaganza in which Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar were the co-hosts.

Spotted at the red carpet were Preity Zinta, Kings XI Punjab owner, and Amrita Rao.
