ARTICLE ON AWARDS

Soap Queen Ekta Kapoor's all time favourite Hiten Tejwani is at his toes these days! Reason? No nomination for the leading man of India's No.1 soap Kyunki... in either ITA or HHITA. To add more to it, Ekta hoggered all the limelight towards her latest Uncle-beti jodi offerring (Does anyone remember them as Jai and Bani?). To this kind of behaviour, Hiten reacts, "Two years back, I got the Best Actor Award for Kyunki..., last year for the same role I got the Best Supporting Actor Award and this year I've descended so low to have not won a nomination even. Fantastic!"

The actual truth: Unvieled

In the flow of their frustration and the win of undeserving ones, Balajians spoke up. Where Hiten reacted exactly opposite to his simple image, Pawan Shankar plainly states, "I'm no one to judge anyone's caliber when it comes to acting. I'm still learning! But I could see the stage politics and injustice this year. My show Siddhant which has won a nomination at International Television Awards, received just one honour combined in both the award functions. I could feel the absence of some respectable actors at the show due to such inconsiderations." Hiten added, "Something wrong is going on. I'm not able to understand what but I could see no point in Ram Kapoor winning Best Actor Award when actors like Rajeev and Pawan with brilliant performances were nominated. I'm happy for my team member Pulkit who won but others deserved their due too. I'm completely blank!"

Ladies please

Aamna Shariff who walked away with two awards at ITA seemed very happy, "I cannot comment on how fair the awards were but still I must say that many incompetent winners walked away with prestigious awards, at least critics should have been considerate about good shows like Siddhant and Left Right Left." And at last, the very beautiful Gauri Pradhan finishes this way, "I have nothing to do with awards from now but it was really disheartening to see Ram & Prachi walk away with Best Jodi awards despite of imfallible jodis like Rohit-Sangeeta, Rajeev-Shweta and Shakti-Kanchi on air!!!"
