Live,
the
intellectual

Reliance

Ltd.
&
Star
India,
today
announced
the
jury
and
officially
launched
their
new
offering
BIG
Star
Young
Entertainer
Awards
2012.
The
award
has
been
conceptualised
to
applaud,
appreciate
and
recognise
the
young
stars
of
the
entertainment
industry,
who
have
risen
quicker
than
their
contemporaries
across
different
genres
including
film,
television,
music
and
sports.
These
are
stars
who
have
spent
less
than
5
years
in
their
respective
industries
and
are
poised
to
become
the
superstars
of
tomorrow!
Industry
veterans
Singer
Shaan,
Actor
Rohit
Roy,
Director
Kabir
Khan
and
popular
Bollywood
critic
and
writer
Bhawana
Somaaya
are
among
the
jury
who
were
present
at
the
event.
Addressing
the
media,
Shaan
said,
“There
is
a
need
for
young
talent
to
be
nurtured
in
our
country
where
reality
shows
have
become
a
medium
for
instant
popularity/fame
which
is
often
fleeting.
Properties
like
The
Young
Entertainers
Award
will
act
as
a
medium
for
recognition
and
appreciation
of
young
talent.”
Kabir
Khan,
who
is
now
directing
Salman
Khan-Katrina
Kaif
starrer
Ek
Tha
Tiger,
is
all
thrilled
to
be
in
the
jury
team.
He
said,
“I
was
fortunate
to
have
got
a
break
5
years
ago
with
Kabul
Express
(produced
by
Yash
Raj
Films).
In
future
it
would
be
platforms
like
the
BIG
Star
Young
Entertainers
Awards
which
will
showcase
the
talents
of
tomorrows
young
stars.”
Meanwhile,
Rohit
Roy
also
reiterated
the
need
of
talent
managers
in
our
country.
The
TV
star
said,
“I
am
hoping
that
someday,
like
Hollywood
talent
managers
can
coach
young
actors
from
the
grass
root
level
and
groom
them
to
attain
future
heights
of
success.”
