Star Plus celebrates a night of glitz, glamour & entertainment at the 2016 Star Parivaar Awards

27 April 2016

The most awaited awards of  Indian television, the annual Star Parivaar Awards are back with the biggest stars to celebrate  the achievements and successes of the entire Star Plus family. It was an evening high on glamour, style and celebrity quotient. Star Plus, a pioneer that has many firsts to its credit, set the trend 14 years ago by bringing together the biggest stars of television as a Parivaar to celebrate and reward the amazing work done by each of them over the year, while entertaining their viewers through unique and awe-inspiring performances. The legacy continues. 

Dressed in their best, television’s most sought after actors walked the Star Parivaar red carpet amidst cheering fans and flashing camera lights. Along with the iconic characters of Star Plus, the new entrants into the family made heads turn too.  Akshara, Sandhya, Ishita, Raman, Naitik, Dharaa, Adarsh, Dharmesh, and the God of dancing Remo were among the many who walked the glamorous red carpet of the STAR Parivaar Awards.
The Star Parivaar Awards has always reinvented itself over the years and the new version of the classic Star Parivaar Awards anthem by the super duo Meet Bros. is a celebration of youth. Sung by Palak Muchal and Arman Malik, the foot-tapping number definitely set the bar for the night to come. 
 Hosts Adarsh and Shivam kept the audience in splits with their terrific chemistry and comic timing and co-Host Raman made the crowd go wild every time he set foot on stage.  With performances by the entire Star Parivaar setting the stage on fire, the audiences spent half the night on their feet cheering for them all. From a classical dance performance by divas Sandhya, Gopi, Kajal and Swadheenta to a surprisingly energetic act by the seniors Shanti Devi, Janki Devi, Baa and Dadaji, and from a mesmerizing romantic performance by the most popular jodis on Star Plus to a foot-tapping rendition of chart-busters by Meera, Adarsh and Shagun, the evening truly reflected the channel’s brand philosophy of Rishta Wohi, Soch Nayi. Standing tall and a class apart was the brilliantly and aesthetically choreographed immortal love story of Sita and Ram which left everyone awe-struck. The highlight of the evening was the live performance by Bollywood sensation Badshah who left the crowd cheering for more.
Talking about the extravaganza, a STAR Plus spokesperson said, “Star Parivaar Awards has grown to become a brand by itself and is eagerly awaited by both artists and the viewers alike. It truly recognizes the hard work put in by the Star Plus family through the year while offering our audiences a chance to see their favourite stars in a never-seen-before light. The inherent promise has always been to wow our viewers and the 2016 STAR Parivaar Awards will surprise, excite and inspire you as it brings alive a night of drama, performances and entertainment ”.
While fans cast their votes every year, for the first time ever Star Parivaar welcomed on board Bollywood directors, Farah Khan, Omung Kumar and Goldie Behl as part of the awards jury.
It was a night to remember and to experience it yourself hold on to your remote control, as the 2016 STAR Parivaar Awards is coming soon to your television screens.

High hopes for ‘Satyamev Jayate 2’

With a tagline that reads: ‘Jinhe Desh Ki Fikar Hai’, season two promises hard-hitting content like before but the format will be different.

Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content. Our weekday prime time has 11 shows out of which almost 5 to 6 are in the top ten every week. So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."

The tussle over live cricket scores

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports. But if you look at the current crop of digital sports service companies, it has been a huge regressive step backwards, because essentially you’re trying to describe a match through text commentary."
