It was a night of charm, class, and cinematic magic as the Mid-Day Showbiz Icons Awards 2025 rolled out the red carpet for Bollywood’s finest men. The event saw a dazzling mix of veterans and rising stars, from the ever-graceful Anupam Kher and intense Manoj Bajpayee to fresh faces like Abhay Verma and fan-favorite Shiv Thakare. It wasn’t just an awards show—it felt like a gathering of the who’s who of Indian entertainment, sprinkled with star power and real moments of admiration.
While the fashion was fierce, the speeches were even better. Anupam Kher, who’s had an incredible run with The Kashmir Files and beyond, reminded everyone why he’s a legend—not just for his craft, but for his humility. Manoj Bajpayee kept it real, thanking the industry for embracing his offbeat choices. Rajpal Yadav, meanwhile, had the room in stitches before switching to a heartfelt tribute to late comedy greats, proving yet again that laughter and legacy can go hand in hand.
New-age stars held their own among the icons. Abhay Verma, known for his quiet charm and growing buzz in the ad world, looked right at home in a sea of stars. Vivian D’sena, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Zayed Khan each brought their signature presence to the stage, blending TV fame, indie intensity, and nostalgia, respectively. And yes—Shiv Thakare got the loudest cheers of the night, thanks to his ever-growing fanbase from reality TV and social media.
More than an awards show, the night felt like a celebration of grit and evolution. These weren’t just actors posing for pictures—they were storytellers, dreamers, and survivors of an industry that demands constant reinvention. Whether it was Randeep Hooda with his brooding edge or Anees Bazmee cracking jokes backstage, the message was clear: Bollywood’s male icons aren’t just holding on—they’re evolving, inspiring, and owning their space louder than ever.
