MUMBAI: Vikas Kalantri and Pooja Ghai’s first television Gold Awards has roped in anchor Siddharth Kannan to host the red carpet and curtain raiser for the event.

Kalantri said, “Siddharth was the first choice that came to our minds when we thought of an anchor. We basically wanted to keep it a light and fun event, and Siddharth was the most appropriate person because he is witty, versatile, spontaneous and shares a great rapport with most of the people which increases the comfortability of the stars. And today, he is one of the sought after anchor in the industry. There was no question of approaching anyone else!”
