New York, NY (PRWEB) March 22, 2012
On a recent evening, in Mumbai, amidst the glitz and glamour of the red carpet, soap stars and TV personalities rubbed elbows with each other, and with some everyday people – who happened to be there only because of their luck. Held on March 9th, the elaborate and lavish 2012 Star Parivaar Awards not only brought together celebrated actors and actresses from all of the Star Network shows, but also two fortunate Star India Plus viewers each from the U.S., the UK, Holland, and South Africa. Deepa Bafna had entered the Star India Plus online contest on a whim, and got her fanciful wish fulfilled when she won the contest and attended the glamorous awards ceremony.
The California resident, Ms. Bafna and her husband Vishal Mehta were flown to India for this sensational all-expenses paid trip. Dressed in their finest attire, the couple was treated to an extravagant walk down the red carpet, one-on-one time with some of their favorite soap stars, and most importantly, the thrilling opportunity to shoot an upcoming episode for Starlite. Perhaps, the next time you see them on the red carpet, they may be the stars!!
