Ajay Devgn goofs up at IFFI inaugural

Bollywood star Ajay Devgn, the guest of honour at the inaugural of International Film Festival of India (2010), had clearly not brushed up on his "Who`s Who" and addressed Railways Minister Mamta Banerjee as the Information and Broadcasting Minister at the gala.

The goof-up provided comic relief to the event when the actor took to the dias briefly to address the gathering. Devgn took the help of a note but was clearly not updated and got some loud chuckles from the crowd. The actor seemed unaware of his mistake and hurried back to his seat after the brief speech. Soni is a regular at the event but had failed to make it because of ill-health and was replaced by Banerjee. Devgn`s was not the only goof up that added some light moments to the sombre ceremony. Actress Gracy Singh, who was anchoring the event made several bloopers and often forgot words, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. Co-host Aftab Sivdasani tried to help her but she continued to mix up names and tried to cover her mistakes with giggles and smiles. PTI
