Amongst the blondes and the barrage of Brits at the Oscars last night, was a bona fide Bollywood contingent.
A. R. Rahman was going to be there to perform with Florence (she, without The Machine in this instance) – that we already knew.
Incidentally, Flo did butcher Rahman’s name in her red runway interview with Ryan Seacrest, calling him A. R. “Rukkhmunn”. I winced.
I opened my eyes only to wince again when Jennifer Hudson did the same thing in her intro and category announcement later that night.


Apart from the Rahmans, there were a couple of other notable Mumbai movie mavens further down the carpet…


And of course, there is this woman – who is no stranger to laal carpets the world over. But again, I ask, why was she there?
