Know who wins what at 2015 IIFA awards

Bollywood's showman Subhash Ghai was honoured with the prestigious award 'Outstanding contribution to Indian cinema'. It was presented to him by his 'Ram Lakhan' stars Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor. "I am going through so many emotions right now. I have so many memories. Over the years one learns, rises and falls. "This is one of the most wonderful evenings for someone like me, to receive so much love and adulation. I have so many stories to share. I think success and awards are a trap. You achieve these for your past work but then you are expected to keep up that work," he said in his acceptance speech. Riteish Deshmukh-starrer 'Ek Villain' too won three gongs. The father of one took home the best supporting role for portraying a cold-blooded serial killer in the film and the Mohit Suri-directed thriller won the best playback singing (male) for Ankit Tiwari ('Galliyan') and best lyrics. It was a big night for Riteish, who was accompanied by wife Genelia, as he was also awarded in a new category introduced this time at IIFA, 'Outstanding contribution to a regional film'. The couple's home production, Marathi film 'Lai Bhaari', won the honour. "I dedicate my wins to my newly born son. Last year has been an amazing year for me because I played a negative role for the first time. I am lucky that both my stints as hero and villain in 'Lai Bhaari' and 'Ek Villain' were appreciated," Riteish said. Alia Bhatt-Arjun Kapoor starrer '2 States', which lead the nominations with nine nods, settled with only one award in the best music direction category. Alia's another film 'Highway' and Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika starrer heist drama 'Happy New Year' came out as the main snubs at the awards despite nominations in key categories. 'Heropanti' stars Tiger Shroff and Kirti Sanon took home the best debut male and female category respectively. The best debut director gong was shared by Omung Kumar ('Mary Kom') and Sajid Nadiadwala for 'Kick'. Omung thanked Olmypian boxer Mary Kom for her help in making her biopic, which starred actress Priyanka Chopra in the titular role. "This is the last award of the season and I never expected that the set which I design will ever climb the stairs to receive an award. Thanks Mary Kom for letting us make a film on you," Omung said, who is also a set designer. Varun Dhawan won the best actor in a comic role award for his stint as a casanova in his father David Dhawan directed 'Main Tera Hero'. David received the trophy on Varun's behalf owing to the actor's absence from the ceremony.
