Indian television's biggest night

Some of television's brightest stars turned up for the ninth Indian Telly Awards last week to honour their own.

Some of the winners included Salman Khan and Rajeev Khandelwal. Even Rani Mukerji took home an award -- TV Ki Rani Award.

This year's big winners include Ronit Roy (top right), who was honoured with the most popular actor award for his role of Dharmaraj in Bandini.

Both Ronit and his brother Rohit Roy came with their wives, Neelam and Mansi Joshi Roy, respectively.

Rohit, incidentally, had a very busy weekend. After the award show, the actor and his wife moved to Khandala, where they attended Shilpa Shetty's grand wedding.
