Zee Cine Awards 2008

As always, Zee Cine Awards was held at London this Sunday amidst much glamour and glitter. What made news was the absence of Salman Khan’s performance. Though the reason for Salman’s backing out was officially cited as high fever and injury, the real reason was that Salman had a problem with his choreographer Ganesh Hegde. So, the Moranis replaced Ganesh with a choreographer called Rajesh. When Salman saw Rajesh’s choreographed act on Friday afternoon, he was shocked and deeply upset at this second hand treatment. He returned the cheque and agreement the same night and then finally Zee had to perform with Shah Rukh, Upen Patel, Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena, and Jay Sean. Salman’s girlfriend Katrina who was already in London on Thursday performed solo.
