Rekha sported her signature bun adorned with a gajra, alongwith a red lip.
In a video shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani on Instagram, Alia can be seen getting out of her car and then exchanging a warm hug with Rekha. The two actresses then walked hand-in-hand at the event.
Rishab Shetty, who won the prestigious Most Promising Actor Award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival for his riveting performance in the Kannada blockbuster Kantara, turned up in his usual white dhoti and shirt.
Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) was founded in 2012 and established in 2016 to carry forward the legacy of Late Shri Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, lovingly known as Dadasaheb Phalke – The Father of Indian Cinema.
