A poignant highlight of the evening was Vidya Balan's heartfelt tribute to veteran actress Rekha, where she was seen touching Rekha's feet and kissing her hand on the red carpet, a moment that quickly went viral and won hearts online. Fans enthusiastically responded with comments like, “Two icons together,” celebrating the "genuine bond" between the two actresses.
