Many
regard
him
as
the
best
actor
on
television
today,
but
Nandish
Sandhu"s
efforts
went
unrecognized
at
the
popular
TV
awards.
Sandhu,
a.k.a
Veer
of
Uttaran,
finally
had
his
moment
of
reckoning
when
he
was
chosen
as
small
screen"s
best
actor
at
the
Newsmakers
Achievers" Awards
held
in
Mumbai
on
May
1st,
2010.
“Saturday
night
was
a
memorable
one
as
I
was
awarded
the
Best
Actor"s
Award
at
the
Newsmakers
Achievers" Awards.
I"d
like
to
thank
my
fans
for
all
your
love
and
support.
I
vow
to
entertain
you
further."
said
an
elated
Sandhu.
Adding
further
he
says,
“Frankly
speaking,
I
didn"t
have
much
idea
about
these
awards.
I
got
a
call
from
then
that
I"ve
been
nominated.
I
surfed
on
the
net,
and
that"s
when
I
realized
the
pedigree
of
these
awards.
The
best
thing
about
Achievers"
awards
is
that
it
rewards
people
from
all
walks
of
life."
When
asked
whether
he
was
disappointed
at
not
being
rewarded
at
the
popular
TV
awards,
Sandhu
sighed,
“Apparently,
I
didn"t
fulfil
the
criteria
then
which
required
an
actor
to
be
part
of
a
show
for
more
than
six
month.
Hopefully,
these
accolades
will
follow
this
year."
Child
prodigy
Saloni
Daini
won
the
best
stand-up
comedian
award
(female)
while
Naveen
Prabhakar
took
the
honours
amongst
the
males.
Among
other
big
achievers"
were
Amitabh
Bachchan
(Man
of
the
Masses)
and
surprisingly,
controversial
MNS
leader
Raj
Thackeray
was
chosen
as
the
'Heartthrob
of
Maharashtra".
