Yami, Ayushman bag first awards

The 5th Boroplus Gold Awards on Zee TV has decided to honour not only the most deserving candidates of the television industry this year, but also those who forayed into the silver screen from television and proved their mettle.

VJ and anchor Ayushman Khurana and model-turned-actor Yami Gautam were awarded for the success of their first film together 'Vicky Donor'.

The movie was one of the highest grossers this year and was highly lauded for its unique concept, interesting narrative, catchy music and the acting prowess of charming duo.

Both Ayushman and Yami were ecstatic about receiving their first awards this year in the category of 'Rising Filmstars' at the 5th Boroplus Gold Awards.

The awards were presented to them by actors Ayub Khan and Anup Soni.

Said a delighted Ayushman, `This is my first award after Vicky Donor. It feels great to be acknowledged by Zee TV and Gold Awards for our work. I thank the entire TV fraternity for giving us breaks that helped us get noticed by Bollywood. I also thank my wife, Tiara, who is my biggest critic and was sure that I could never act.`

Yami said: `I thank the entire television industry for this honor. The journey has been great and I truly feel blessed.`

Host Manish Paul who ragged Yami by calling her yummy did not allow the actors to leave the stage without a l'il bit of hip shaking.

Both Ayushman and Yami were sporting enough to shake a leg on their chartbusting number 'Rum Rum Rum Rum..Whiskey'.

The award function will be aired on Zee TV on Aug 18.
