Asianet TV channel has once again created a record in the history of Malayalam General Entertainment Channels by introducing and instituting an award for exclusively comedy actors and shows both on the silver screen and on the small screens. And the channel can boast of conducting an award ceremony though simple but elegant and distributing the awards to the talented Malayalam artists.
Producers of different TV shows and movie makers have realized that most people now prefer to watch humorous shows rather than tragedies as it gives them some relief relaxation from the work pressure which they undergo everyday in their places of work.
In the simple ceremony held by Asianet on 29th November, 2015 the channel took a lot of care not to miss any artists and not to lose the balance as usual. Awards were given to comedians, actors and actresses liberally.
