Shriya Pilgaonkar bags Best Actress in Comedy award for ‘Taaza khabar’!

In a heartwarming turn of events, Shriya Pilgaonkar clinches the prestigious ITA award for ‘Best Actor – Comedy Series’ for her stellar portrayal of Madhu in ‘Taaza Khabar.’ This victory not only marks a significant milestone in Shriya’s career but also echoes a beautiful symmetry, as her mother, Supriya Pilgaonkar had triumphed in the same category, years ago.

Shriya added, “Thank you ITA awards and the wonderful team of “Taaza Khabar,” Bhuvan, Rohit, Himank and our wonderful writer Hussain Dalal. I would like to share a very special memory etched in my heart. Years ago, I was sitting in the audience, clapping for my mom, Supriya Pilgaonkar, as she won an ITA award in the category of ‘Best Actor – Comedy’ for ‘Tu Tu Main Main. Aai, papa this is for you!”

It’s a full circle moment for Shriya, carrying on the legacy of excellence and making her mark in the world of Indian entertainment, just as her mother.

Shriya has had a great year with shows like Taaza Khabar, Ishq E Nadaan and recently wrapped shoot for Broken News 2, she will next be seen in a film produced by Nikhil Advani.
