Here are some controversial moments that we are exclusively bringing to you from the award ceremony

BollywoodLife grabbed its golden chance to witness the much celebrated 21st Life Ok Screen Awards 2015 that was held recently. And ever since, we have been treating you with exclusive scoops from the do. Be it from Shahid Kapoor and Tabu winning the Best Jodi of 2014, or on Sidharth Malhotra goofing up with his hosting debut, there's already a lot been told to you! But before someone else breaks it out, here's taking you to an even exciting column- the controversies that became a major highlight that evening! Yes! Find out who was more cunning to stump, taunt or ignore and how!

When Karan Johar greeted Shah Rukh Khan as 'Bhai'

Now this was like the ultimate 'Moment Of The Day!' Shah Rukh Khan bagged the title of ‘Popular Choice Best Actor’ (Happy New Year) and the HNY actor was quite elated to receive the award. But host Karan Johar took us aback when he went on to say, “ Congrats BHAI.’ Going by the industry source, though KJO has always been calling SRK as Bhai but the audience was quick enough to relate it to the iconic Bhai- Salman Khan! SRK didn't react to the whole episode and just walked away with his award!

When Varun Dhawan ignored Alia Bhatt

Ex-flames Varun and Alia's sour past is known to all and we also know that the latter is now dating Sidharth Malhotra. But this whole complicated relationship came under a severe scanner at Screen Awards. Okay, so Sid and Alia were seated sharing the same row and Varun was on stage performing his jig. But soon after that, Varun surprisingly went on to greet Sid, leaving Alia ignored! Alia too posed extremely disinterested to even look at him but the one who was awkwardly stuck between the two was Sid!

When Sidharth Malhotra made fun of his alleged girlfriend Alia

First timer Sid tried very hard to keep us engaged to his hosting. But the only thing that we enjoyed the most was when he shot a joke at his alleged GF- Alia! He said, 'During the shoot of Highway, Alia apparently fell off the truck and that's why she forgot the name of the President Of India!' However, things didn't turn out ugly after this and a rather sporty Alia, smiled throughout the whole gig! Boyfriend performing, after all!

When KJo declared 'Parineeti doesn't exist'

Parineeti has barely given us any good films in Bollywood. And that explains why she has no release in 2015. So Karan Johar pulled a tongue-in-cheek humour and said, " I googled Parineeti Chopra one day and it suggested saying, do you mean Priyanka Chopra?" Now wasn't that too harsh from Karan's end?

When Deepika Padukone stole Kangana Ranaut's thunder

And lastly, Deepika Padukone got awarded with the 'Best Actress Popular Choice' title for Happy New Year! She was quite happy to receive it but in her speech, she dedicated it to Kangana and said, "I think Kangana deserves this. 2014 was her year." Now this was sweet for the fact that Dippy was generous enough to mention Kangana who hasn't received a single award for her award winning performance in Queen! But don't you think by doing this, she has also added a leaf to her 'publicity book'? Think about it!
