For a lot of people, New Year’s Eve means watching a plethora of Bollywood award shows that the end of the year brings. However, over the past few years, these award shows have earned a nasty reputation for themselves due to a variety of reasons.
You might recall that only recently, Zee Cine Awards became the butt of jokes as they awarded ‘Golmaal Again’ the “best movie of the year” and Varun Dhawan the “best actor of the year”. And just when we thought it can’t get worse than this, Star Screen Awards stepped up.

Now it’s great to see new talent being appreciated and we don’t mind new award categories being created for this purpose. But creating nonsensical award categories for actors who have been working in the industry for years now is downright absurd.
This year, the Star Screen Awards introduced a ‘Nothing to Hide’ award and the recipients of the same were Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor.

And Twitter, of course, was not amused.

Oscars Jury: It’s a tough call. We can select any one winner. There are huge expectations.

10. True Story
Star Screen Awards has introduced a new category.
‘Nothing To Hide’ Award.
Yes, you read that right: ‘Nothing To Hide’ Award category.
This is why aliens always go to America and never to Mumbai when they visit Planet Earth.

12. You Are A Savior!
#StarScreenAwards has a category called ‘nothing to hide award’. It is apparently for actors who share their personal lives with ‘fans’ on social media regularly 😂. They gave the award to Shahid and Kriti. Afterall nobody should go empty handed 😂😂

Now that we know what it means, we genuinely feel that it’s high time for these award shows to step up their game.
