Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is elated to have won two awards -- best actor in social role and entertainer of the year -- at Big Star Entertainment Awards last night. "2 awards...I am blessed...!!," Bachchan tweeted today. The awards saw introduction of a new sub-category -- `social' -- for actors and films. Contending for best actor in social role were Bachchan for `Aarakshan' which dealt with the issue of caste-based reservations in educational institutions, Manoj Bajpayee for the same film, Rahul Bose for `I am', and Atif Aslam for `Bol'. The Big B was all praise for south actor-singer Dhanush, who was in Mumbai for his first-ever live performance for the award ceremony. "And ... when complete Entertainer announced, Dhanush sings live from audience, a Kolaveri Di number but words to suit the occasion. Dhanush words were 'Why this Kolaveri, Kolaveri, Kolaveri ..B, .. big B ... TRP .. brilliant absolutely ..!! So lovable and so good!," Bachchan said.
