Bollywood film awards are a special type of award ceremonies that not only awards stars for their performances, but also for something even the stars might not know they have done. These latter type of awards are what some Smart Alec would want to call as the 'attendance awards'. Every year, we have one Bollywood award panel or the other coming up with strange categories that only the crazy might think. Last night's Star Screen Awards 2018 was no different! Star Screen Awards 2018 Full List of Winners: Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkummar Rao Win Coveted Trophies.
We are not even talking about how Stree won over AndhaDhun, Tumbbad (completely ignored) and Badhaai Ho as the Best Film of the year, or that we have three Best Actor Awards for one ceremony. We are talking about this one category called 'Best Real Star Award on Social Media' and trying to figure out what it means. Katrina Kaif has won the award and it has something to do with her making her social media debut some time back. But what the heck is 'Best Real Star'? Does that mean others stars on social media are bots? Star Screen Awards 2018 Worst Dressed: Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shraddha Kapoor's Fashion Faux Pas is Hard to Ignore - View Pics.
Not just us, even Twitterati are scratching their heads to figure out what this means!

Perhaps this Katrina Kaif fan's tweet might explain the significance of this award, better than the organisers themselves!
#KatrinaKaif is really the BEST REAL STAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA becz her stardom is real...she is real..her social media followers are real.... she doesn't buy fake followers or fake likes like our deepika padukone or jacqueline or any other actress https://t.co/lv3BGaCHeR

Last year too, Screen Awards came up with an absurd category like 'Nothing to Hide' awards which went to Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor. We are scared to find out what they come up next!
