A transgender’s struggle for her identity, the trials and tribulations of a misunderstood god, making ‘Indiawale’ the true heroes of the country and introducing an app-based live singing reality show. This is just a fraction of the different narratives unleashed by Colors in 2016 that received strong audience support.
The Hindi General Entertainment Channel has, over the past year, unlocked entertainment avenues through its line-up of fiction and non-fiction offerings. And honouring the outstanding talent across genres, Colors recently celebrated the fifth Colors Golden Petal Awards. Viewers will get a chance to witness the magnificence of the awards later this month on the channel.
Raj Nayak, CEO, Colors, said, “There is no greater joy than celebrating a year filled with many achievements and milestones. The fifth Colors Golden Petal Awards commemorates a year where we have witnessed a plethora of big-ticket launches like Naagin, Shakti, Karmphal Data Shani, Swabhimaan, Dil Se Dil Tak, 24, Bigg Boss and Rising Star, which have become frontrunners on Indian television. The 5th Colors Golden Petal Awards recognised the efforts of every show’s cast and production team, and serves as a motivator urging them to continue to put their best foot forward every day to deliver path-breaking entertainment. It is, after all, their contribution that makes Colors one of India’s favourite Hindi General Entertainment channel! We would like to thank our presenting sponsor Dabur Glucose D for extending their support.”
This year, the viewers were transported to a ‘Snow Wonderland.’ With the theme being straight out of a fairy tale, the evening saw Bollywood and TV biggies like Jacqueline Fernandez, Malaika Arora, Diljit Dosanjh, Mouni Roy, Rubina Dilaik, Juhi Parmar, Ssharad Malhotra, Salil Ankola, Sidharth Shukla, Jasmin Bhasin, Mohan Kapur, Adaa Khan, Sudha Chandran, Roshni Sahota, Helly Shah, Jigyasa Singh and many more walk the red carpet.
Speaking about the event, Manisha Sharma, Programming Head, Colors, said, “What better way to beat the intense summer heat than with a thrilling and spectacular event themed around Snow and Wonderland? The fifth Colors Golden Petal Awards will be a treat for the viewers’ sitting at home. Be it jaw-dropping performances by our leads, adrenalin rush inducing acts, perfectly timed comic moments or a volley of well-deserved awards, the evening had all the makings of a blockbuster. We are overjoyed by the response we have received from the entertainment fraternity. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our viewers for their support.”
The evening was hosted by comical geniuses Farah Khan and Karan Johar, who were joined by Raghav Juyal and Rubina Dilaik. Bharti Singh and Maniesh Paul enthralled audiences with her impeccable comic timing not missing a single opportunity to poke fun at Karan Johar’s new dad status.
