Niharika Konidela calls Filmfare Awards South 2026 a ‘missed opportunity’ for not letting debut winners speak on stage

The Filmfare Awards South 2026 was held in Kochi, where the best in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films were recognised.

Actor Niharaika Konidela shared her candid thoughts after attending the Filmfare Awards South 2026 ceremony in Kochi. The actor took to her Instagram account on Sunday afternoon to state that although being in the room with so many artists was ‘truly special’, she could not help but notice that the debut winners were not given a moment to speak on stage.

What Niharika said

Niharika began by saying, “Celebrating the brilliance of Indian cinema at the Filmfare awards is always a highlight and seeing such incredible talent under one roof was truly special.”
