MUMBAI: Casting directors play a very important role behind the camera.

To honour and felicitate the people we do not see on screen, for example, casting directors who make the show more appealing to us, IndianTelevision.com announces the 15th edition of the Indian Telly Technical Trade and Programming Awards, which recognize the best in television production, editing, writing, direction, distribution, and creation.

Neha has come a long way in her career and has cast for a number of popular shows such as Balika Vadhu (Colors), Saraswatichandra (Star Plus), Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon...Ek Baar Phir (Star Plus), Gangaa (&TV), and Chidiyaghar (SAB TV).

When we asked Neha about her contributions to television, she said, 'I cast Abeer Sufi for Mere Sai, and in the next three years, I see myself as a producer. I haven’t given myself an option. I have to achieve the goal I have set.'

When asked about her viewpoint on casting, she averred, 'Casting directors have a big hand in making the projects the success they are. They are one of the prime reasons that actors win awards. We are the foundation of a project. However, it is very sad that we are not given due credit. Organizing awards for all the people who put in their sweat and blood is a noble way to honour their talent, and appreciate and motivate them.'
