Yesterday 'Sun Kudumbam awards 2010' was telecasted on Sun TV. I think for the first time in tamil television industry awards are given to the people acted in television serials. I don't know whether in any other language these kind of awards are available. This programme was a good one for all mega serial lovers to watch their favourite serials , actors and actresses getting the awards. This is a good thought by Sun Tv to promote their mega serials as well as to encourage the actors and actresses.
For each category 4 nominations were given and the best one is selected by the viewers through SMS. Sun TV was advertising about these nominations in the TV for the past few weeks.
The function started in a grand set with celebrities invited as guests from the Tamil Film Industry. The celebrities include Actress - Sneha, Ramya krishnan , Actors - Bharath, Pandiarajan, Arun Vijay, Director Gautham Vasudev Menon etc. The function was hosted by 'Deala No Deala' Rishi and actress Kastoori.On the TV side, Kaveri Maran, wife of Kalanidhi Maran ( MD of Sun TV networks ) and Ajay Vidhyasagar (CEO of Sun TV) attended the award function.
