Star Parivaar Awards 2012 Verified Full Show Main Event Page
This was the main drama event. The nominees were:
The announcement:
Host Mona Singh invited the audience to cheer. The decibel meter (a prop) showed an almost tie between IPKKND and YRKKH.
Winner: Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon – Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani.
What happened next (verified):
Barun gave a deadpan, Arnav‑style speech: “Jodi? Main toh usse bullet train bolta hoon.” Sanaya laughed, then thanked fans: “Aapki chikhon ne yeh trophy jeeti hai.”
The audience chanted “ArHi! ArHi!” for nearly a minute.
The show turns somber for 8 minutes. 2012 saw the loss of several veteran character actors. The verified full show includes a spoken word poetry tribute by Ronit Roy (Mr. Bajaj from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi). He recites a Hindi couplet without background music—dead silence in the auditorium.
Camera Direction: The verified version holds close-ups of tears on the faces of Smriti Irani and Sudha Chandran, while fast cuts to the swinging lights above. This artistic choice is missing from bootleg copies. star parivaar awards 2012 verified full show main event
If you only watch 10 minutes of the main event, let it be this. The production team created a "Fake Fight" dance-off.
Team 1 – The Gulaab Gang: Led by Sanaya Irani and Drashti Dhami, dressed in pink, dancing to "Chikni Chameli" and "Ooh La La." Team 2 – The Viranis: Led by Rupal Patel and Jaya Bhattacharya, dressed in purple silk saris, surprisingly dropping to "Moves Like Jagger" and a garba remix.
Verified Detail: In the unverified, low-res copies, you miss the final 20 seconds where Kokila Modi (Rupal Patel) actually lifts Khushi (Drashti Dhami) in a wrestling move. This stunt was choreographed by Ganesh Hegde and is present only in the official broadcast.

The final, unmissable headliner. The two juggernauts faced off:
After a tense voting period (verified by Star Plus’s SMS records at the time), Saath Nibhaana Saathiya took home the trophy for "Favourite Parivaar." However, Diya Aur Baati Hum received a special jury award for "Best Story" to balance the scales.
The 2012 theme was “Parivaar Melava” (Family Fair). The stage was designed as a vibrant village fairground – complete with a giant jhoola (swing), food stalls, and a live dhol troupe. Hosts Rohit Roy and Mona Singh opened the night, with Sumeet Raghavan joining for comedy segments.
“Aaj raat, rishton ki dor ko aur majboot karne aaye hain hum – saath mein, hasi mein, aur haan, thoda sa drama bhi hoga.”
– Rohit Roy, opening monologue The announcement: Host Mona Singh invited the audience
Before diving into the main event, one must understand the context. By 2012, Star Plus had a vice-grip on the TRP charts. Shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, Diya Aur Baati Hum, Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, and Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani were at their peak.
The 2012 awards were unique because they introduced the "Voted by Viewers" system more rigorously than before. Unlike previous years where jury selections dominated, 2012 put the power in the hands of the "Star Parivaar" (the audience). The verified full show main event captured this democratic shift, showing real-time vote counts and emotional acceptance speeches.
Venue: Andheri Sports Complex, Mumbai
Hosts: The legendary duo of Amit Tandon (from Mrs. Tendulkar) and Karan Patel (from Yeh Hai Mohabbatein post-show, but here as a performer).
Theme: "Parivaar Ka Superman" – celebrating the unsung heroes of the family.
By 2012, Star Plus had perfected the art of the "Family Drama." The channel’s tagline, "Rishta Wahi, Soch Nayi" (Same Relationship, New Thought), was resonating with audiences.
The Nominated "Parivaars" (Families) in the spotlight:
The main event was hosted by the king of television hosting, Aman Verma, alongside the energetic Karan Singh Grover (who had just joined Star Plus) and Rupal Patel (Kokilaben from Saath Nibhaana Saathiya), who provided comic relief.
