Well Jaya Bacchan gets an awards from Amitabh. and Aishwarya Rai presented fiancé Abhishek Bachchan with the Best Supporting Actor award. “That looked planned,'' quipped Abhishek when she presented him with the award. ``I thank my family,'' he said and looked at Aishwarya and added jokingly, almost as an afterthought, ``You too,'' which prompted Shah Rukh to say when Abhishek left the stage, ``Hopefully next year you will thank your wife too.''

The song from the epic musical adaptation of the Tolkien classic which premiered at Canada last year and will play in London's West End this June.
