The recepient of the final award was the most surprised when his name was announced as the winner of the Best Actor of the year award. Apoorva Agnihotri had finished a gruelling day's shoot at the Jassi... sets and reached the Indian Telly Awards venue, least expecting that his nomination would win him an award, that too at the hands of wife Shilpa Saklani! Before that, Mona Singh walked away with the honour of being the best actor (female) of the year. Mona, looking smashing in a denims and blazer ensemble, looked radiant as she accepted the award from co artiste Karan Oberoi. Among the TV critics awards, the award for best actor (male) went to Pawan Shankar for his restrained performance in Siddhanth, and the award for best actor (female) went to Juhi Parmar for Kumkum-Pyara Sa Bandhan.
