The first ever Tele Award to be held in Nepal was dragged in controversy when a popular tele-serial, ‘Meri Bassai’, unit decided to boycott it. Some of the nomination were not that good compared to other actors.

Now, the controversy deepened when the top 10 best actors actresses in Nepali television didn’t include ‘the Best’ actors and actress. Most of the nominations are unknown to the larger portion of the audience.

The decision was reached by the mobile SMS voting. The ones who are free and have friends who can send a lot of SMS message got on the top while the best ones were sidelined. Looks like, the procedure in itself is not a fair measure of selection of best actors.

For example, tell me how many of the best 10 actors do you know?

Ramkeshar Bogati, Nabin Shrestha, Prakash Subba, Chetbahadur Singh, Rabiu Sharma, Shreeprasad Thapa, RP Bhattarai, Shreeram Pudasaini, Jitu Nepal, and Deepak Tripathi

I know only one – Jitu Nepal. Is it only me?
