Kerala State Television Award for Best Actress
Annual Indian television award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kerala State Television Award for Best Actress is presented annually at the Kerala State Television Awards of India to an actress for the best performance in a leading role in a Malayalam telefilm or serial. Until 1997, the awards were managed directly by the Department of Cultural Affairs, Government of Kerala. Since 1998, the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, an autonomous non-profit organisation functioning under the Department of Cultural Affairs, has been exercising control over the awards. The 2016 ceremony was the only occasion when there was a tie between two nominees for the category; Shafna and Sruthi Lakshmi shared the award for their performances in Sahayathrika and Pokuveyil, respectively.
