/> In the light of the brouhaha that Rakhi Sawant has created about the alleged rigging of the results on Nach Baliye and her open questioning of Ekta Kapoor and Balajee's hands in the final result of the reality show, Balajee, it is reliably learnt, has decided to drop plans for roping in Rakhi for their first awards function to be held on 25 January.

Says a Balajee source, "Rakhi was indeed being offered a place at our first awards function. No, she wasn't going to dance but she was going to host one segment of the show.

But after she has been making wild and totally unfounded allegations against Ekta accusing her of favouring Aamir and Sanjida, Balajee has decided to drop Rakhi from their awards function."

When asked about it Ekta Kapoor said, "I wouldn't really know the details of the show since they are being handled by Bunty Wallia and the Moranis. But yes, if my company has taken a policy decision I am with them."

In the meanwhile Ekta's awards function to be held in all likelihood in Dubai, just got bigger. According to sources at Balajee Shah Rukh Khan has finally said yes to a performance at what promises to be one of the biggest live events in Mumbai.

Shah Rukh, apparently, will be accompanied in his performance by none other than the Balajee breakaway Bahu Smriti Irani herself.

"The idea is to set aside all rancour, to disprove all the stories about the ill-will generated by our actors who move out of Balajee. So it isn't just Smriti who's being invited to perform, we're also asking Iqbal Khan and Rajiv Khandelwal to join us on the 25th," says the Balajee source.

While the Moranis will be organizing Shah Rukh's performance, the rest of the event is being handled by Bunty Walia's company.
