At the 5th Boroplus Gold awards which will be aired on Zee TV on Saturday, Ali decided to poke fun on judges on three of the current reality shows on television - choreographer Geeta Kapur, music composer Anu Malik and filmmaker Karan Johar.
So Geeta Maa became Papita Maa, Anu Malik became Chunnu Malik and Karan Johar became Churan Johar.
In his act, Ali went on to pick apart each judges characteristic traits. Papita Maa was shown to be an emotional lady who binges on food and starts crying whenever she doesn't know what to say.
Chunnu Malik had his own tape-recorder which echoed 'wah wah' to everything he said including his claims that he was the best.
Churan Johar was portrayed as a snooty, well dressed, accent sporting high society judge who could only speak in innuendos who kept kissing a picture of SRK that was stuck to the back of his handheld mirror.
Ali, on being asked about how the judges will react on seeing the act on TV, laughs, "I think imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...If I was in their place, I would have been extremely flattered!"
"At awards shows, such acts are done in good humour and it is not a personal attack on any of the celebrities. I not trying to hurt anyone's sentiments. So I really hope they take it in the right spirit.`
