It’s that time of the year when the festive spirit is in the air. With Dasara 2019, almost over, the next big event is Diwali. But not all festivals hold a religious meaning on Zee Kannada. Get ready for the biggest festival on Zee Kannada this year, the Zee Kannada Kutumba Awards 2019. While there is so much of fun and frolic especially for us fans, today we bring to you something special and EXCLUSIVE for your eyes only.

We have for you today some candid stills of the cast of your favourite Zee Kannada shows during the ZKA nomination party. Starting with this adorable pic of Yamuna Srinidhi and Padmavasanthi, who play the roles of Gauri and Annapoorna Mahajan on the show, Kamali, as they pose with the prestigious trophy.

The faces of Rishi, Kamali, Ningi, Hasini, Kamini and Rachana seemed to be filled with excitement. And can we just add, Kamali looks extra ravishing in this pic, next to her on-screen beau, Rishi Nanda? By the way, if you didn’t notice, team Kamali’s colour-code clearly looks like it’s black.

What a wonderful click, we must say. Heroes, mothers, brothers and villains smile enthusiastically for a selfie and we obviously love every bit. While we aren’t certain what the colour codes for these two teams are, let’s keep scrolling for more awesome pics.

Selfies are absolutely necessary for our favourite stars to share their lives and best moments with us. Looking like a starlet is namma Paaru’s villain Anushka standing next to the other antagonist of the show Damini. Of course, Padma from Gattimela isn’t a villain but looks delighted to pose with her friends.

Looking exceptionally pretty are the ladies of the hit show Yaare Nee Mohini as they look dazzling in red. Bhaira seems to be the odd one out amongst Neelambari, Sharmila, Chithra, Swathi and Maya. #codered

Dressed in western outfits, Aarthi and Adithi Manjunath aka Ashwini and Priya from the show Gattimela pose like goddesses for the camera. If you take a closer look, you will realise that these lasses have put in a lot of effort in choosing the right outfit and kept their make-up quite subtle. Kudos to both of them!

Supportive of each other during these awards, don’t Pinky, Geetha, Sumathi and Subbu look adorable standing strong this year too! Let’s hope Bramhagantu gets many awards this time.

Despite being the villains, Guru and Shanaya look dazzling for this event. And Srisha’s arrival with her on-screen daddy Arun Prasad will just melt your heart!

Ankietha, also known famously as Kamali’s best friend Ningi, looks like a far cry from her onscreen rustic village belle. She strikes a pose in this trendy indo-fusion black saree. She keeps her accessories minimal with a bold red lipstick and obviously we have no complaints.

Fashionista Anika Mahajan opted for a minimal make-up look. She accessorised her chic purple shimmery dress with a matching clutch and a bold bracelet. Yay or nay for namma prettiest villain at the party?

Rachana aka Rishi’s little sister looks chic in a jumpsuit and shows off her bright pearlies in this picture.

Choosing the ‘wear anything you want theme’ are the actors of Radha Kalyana. We wonder where namma Radha has disappeared because the spot next to Krishna should be filled by her right?

Yes! The members of the ‘Belli-Squad’ on the hit show Yaare Nee Mohini, Shanmugha and Karthi were happy to be attend the party too.

We found these lovely three supporting actors, Sarthak, Vicky and Aadya, from the superhit show Gattimela enjoying the events on stage.

Check out these beautiful women, who play the antagonists in their respective shows, on stage smiling away to glory. Sarika, Anushka, Shanaya, Maya, Neelambari and Pinky share a humorous moment on stage.

Yes! Almost all of the most popular jodis on the Zee Kannada roster are on stage. As you can see the heroes have got their onscreen lady-love in their arms and so we assume that this was ‘who can lift their onscreen partner for the longest?’ competition. Want to know the finalists? Keep scrolling…

As Rishi and Arjun try their best to continue to carry their onscreen partners Kamali and Amrutha respectively, notice how Geetha from the show Bramhagantu is enjoying this competition among the couples.

Confident about winning, Amulya has already raised her hand for the number one spot as Muthu and Rishi look confident carrying their onscreen lady-loves too. But who will be the semi-finalists, scroll to the next slide to know…

Yes! Surprisingly, Arjun-Amrutha and Belli-Muthu have been eliminated as the top three positions go to Radha-Krishna, Amulya-Vedanth and Rishi-Kamali. Now for the finalists…

Two brownie points if you too guessed Amulya-Vedanth and Rishi-Kamali as the finalists. While the latter two watch it seems like Vedanth is dancing with Amulya, who is comfortable in his arms. #adorable

According to this pic, it seems as though the heroes of Gattimela and Kamali have to romance their onscreen lady-loves with a ring and a rose. Now comes the biggest challenge, who will win the tie-breaker?

And from this image, it seems like Amulya is accepting the rose! How cute is that? Meanwhile, Kamali and Rishi take things slow with a romantic intimate dance.

As both the men gently put the rings on Amulya and Kamali’s hand respectively, it only gives us more time for our heart to turn to mush. As for this picture, it is our absolute favourite of the lot, what about you?

As the performances go on, on-stage, Paaru’s Adi and Preethu pose for this candid still alongside Radha Kalyana’s Vajramuni.
