Balaji Telefilms gaining its glory back, Pavitra Rishta gets Best Foreign Drama award at Tokyo

Zee TV and Balaji Telefilms Pavitra Rishta is surely getting much appreciation from the critics and viewers alike. A month ago, it was a recipient of the recent "Jury's Special Prize' at the recent Seoul International Drama Awards 2010 which was held in South Korea. That wasn't all....Last week, it has also recieved a nomination to represent the Indian television industry at the International Drama Awards that was recently held in Tokyo. If the nomination itself wasn't an honour enough, the show also picked up the Best Foreign Drama award beating nominations from five other countries!

On viewers demand, actresses Savita Prabhune (Sulochana Karanjakar) & Pooja Pihal (Shravani) from the cast of Pavitra Rishta were specially invited to the awards ceremony in Tokyo where they had the special privilege to hoist the Indian flag as well. It was an indeed a proud moment for both of them on international soil.

Pooja Pihal was bubbling with excitement on her return from Tokyo. "It was a wonderful experience to be at Tokyo and meet the lovely people there. The award function itself was a wonderful experience with the most delightful audience at the venue. It was a great honour to be able to represent the entire team and the Indian television industry as a whole in Tokyo. It is absolutely wonderful to be associated with Pavitra Rishta and I hope we continue to wow the audiences," she ended.
