From Alia Bhatt addressing the crowd in Hindi, Boong winning big, to Dharmendra being honoured during the In Memoriam segment, the day was nothing short of amazing. As Dharmendra was honoured on the global stage, his wife, Hema Malini, got candid about his stardom and recalled how he was mobbed in foreign countries.
