Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 4 : Tamannaah Bhatia shared her initial memories of the Filmfare award ceremonies, saying that she loved it when Indian actresses accepted the awards in a traditional Indian attire such as salwar kameez.

At the Filmfare press conference held in Mumbai, Tamannaah Bhatia shared her memories of watching actress Karisma Kapoor win awards at the Filmfare Awards ceremony while she was in school and college.

While talking to the media, Tamannaah Bhatia recalled the past glamour at the Filmfare Award ceremonies and said, "I remember seeing Karisma Kapoor win awards. At that time, I think it was very different. Even the events felt like every artist went to Salwaar Kameez and collected their award. There was a kind of rawness to those particular award ceremonies."

From watching Karisma Kapoor winning Filmfare Awards on screens to meeting her in real life, the actress Tamannaah Bhatia called it a "full circle" moment of her life.

"I remember seeing her. I have a very vivid memory of that. When I saw her, I felt that I also wanted to become like her. When I meet Lolo now, she is the warmest, sweetest," said Tamannaah Bhatia.

Meanwhile, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will host the upcoming edition of Filmfare Awards in Gujarat with Maniesh Paul and Karan Johar.

Filmfare shared the update on their official Instagram handle."The Superstar, The Icon, The Enigma.
