For a night that was dedicated to sports, there was a lot of Bollywood.

Bold and beautiful starlets from the film industry were spotted either performing on stage or hotting up the red carpet at the Sahara India Sports Awards which was held in Mumbai on Monday.

Deepika Padukone, who presented her alleged former beau and India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni with the Team of the Year award, was one of the actresses who performed at the event.

While most of the Bollywood hotties preferred western outfits, former beauty queen Diana Hayden decided to go traditional.
