Raigam Tele’es celebrates Sri Lankan TV artistes with support from Sampath Bank

The star-studded 17th Raigam Tele’es, the premier primetime television awards event of Sri Lanka, raised the curtain on a gala night at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo. A distinguished gathering was in attendance. The Grand Awards Ceremony rewarded the accomplishments of talented artistes, and recognized noteworthy contributions made to Sri Lanka’s teledrama programming, to the local television industry, and to the media sector in the past year.

One of several sponsors, Sampath Bank once again signaled its support for Sri Lanka’s entertainment industry by resuming its role as the main corporate sponsor for this event. The move spotlighted the strong, decade-long partnership between Sampath Bank and the Raigam Tele’es.

The glittering night celebrated teledramas that had captivated audiences and the artistes who had starred in them in 2020 and 2021. The nominees for 111 awards in seven categories were announced at a function prior to the main event.

Screen stars Ravindra Randeniya and Sriyani Amarasena were the chief guests. A large gathering of notable personalities–including artistes, producers, directors and journalists–graced the occasion.
