TOI - no nomination upsets mahadev cast

Who doesn't enjoy sincere appreciation for their work? While the cast of 'Devon Ke Dev Mahadev' is being lauded for their acting chops, a few from the industry choose to overlook the same. If sources from the industry are to be believed then these awards nominations have rubbed many actors of several shows the wrong way and especially the cast of 'Devon Ke Dev Mahadev'.

The show being the top rated show on Life OK, has not been nominated in any category with an exception of two nominations for Mohit Raina (Mahadev) and Mouni Roy (Sati) in best fit male actor and actress. An actor laughingly tells us, "It's so funny to see Mohit Raina nominated for the best fit actor category and not for the best actor, as if he is hosting a fitness show. Apparently, both the production house and the channel are miffed at this. The show surely deserved better nominations being the most talked about mythological show especially due to its production quality. It is so strange to know that a show like 'Shobha Somnath Ki', which failed to generate encouraging ratings, gets nominated for costumes but Mahadev hasn't".

One of the veteran producers alleges, "This rigging business is probably the reason Aamir Khan has boycotted awards and in any case audience's appreciation is the best award for any show. We wish there was a body to authenticate the nomination system." We hope that Mahadev can ignore this folly. After all, to err is human and to forgive is divine!
