We recently saw Ali Zafar hosting the Star Box Office Awards in India and now continuing the trend is Imran Abbass, hosting the viewer driven, Big STAR Entertainment Awards. The fifth edition of the award show was hosted by the Pakistani actor and Sunil Grover, of the Comedy Nights with Kapil fame.

The Big STAR Entertainment Awards acknowledge the best of performances for the year in music, television, movies, theatre, dance and sports.
