Asian Viewers Television Awards 2017 which were held last night in London proved to be quite the lucky charm for popular TV show Ishqbaaz cast and crew. The team bagged three awards for three key categories - Male Actor of the Year (Nakuul Mehta), Female Actor of the Year (Surbhi Chandna) and Soap of the Year.
Dhrashti Dhami was also present at the award ceremony and presented the Female Actress of the Year award. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, Surbhi Chandna couldn't attend. The actress was later seen posing for photos with friend, Nakuul helping him carry his hand full of trophies.
The TV serial that has a huge fan base not only in India but abroad as well, had previously been nominated in 2016 for the same but only Nakuul Mehta took away prize home. This time, however, fates changed for the better and the serial brought home all the apples!
Nakuul took to his Instagram to share his big win: "Couldn't have been a better night at the Asian Viewers Television Awards last evening in London. We took home the Best Actor, Best Actress (@officialsurbhic ) & Best Show (@gulenaghmakhan @karishmajain92 ) awards. This honour is literally the physical embodiment of all the love you guys have embraced our show with. Thank you & I humbly share this with the entire cast & crew of #Ishqbaaaz P.S.: Slightly longish acceptance speech but thankfully we aren't the Oscars and we don't care about the music and some things NEED to be said. #AVTA2017."

The TV show that recently celebrated 400 episodes shared its joyous moment on Instagram. Producer Gul Khan posted a video of the team's achievement captioning it as, "Interesting discussion on future of television and great interaction with the viewers but the real joy was to see you get mobbed Mr Mehta ! And it was amazing to finally catch up on a cup of coffee peacefully! It took us 400 episodes to manage time for that one cup of coffee."
Nakuul and Surbhi play the lead roles of Shivaay Singh Oberoi and Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi respectively on the show.
