Bollywood actors Sonali Bendre and Vivek Oberoi and a string of small screen stars, including Drashti Dhami and Shabir Ahluwalia, added glam quotient to the Zee Rishtey Awards 2015 here.

The Bandra-Kurla Complex ground on Saturday night was full of TV buffs, who came dressed in best of their fineries, to watch their favourite small screen stars live.

The cast of all the Zee TV shows like “Kumkum Bhagya”, “Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani”, “Qubool Hai” or “Satrangi Sasural”, including stars like Drashti, Shabir, Sriti Jha, Deepshikha Nagpal and Shilpa Shirodkar, made their presence felt at the event.

The actors made their entry in unique ways. They either went inside a giant snow globe or rode a chariot, and waved at fans.
