The Change4Life Asian Sports awards were revealed at a glamorous ceremony in Park Lane’s Grosvenor House hotel. The stars were out in force including Strictly Come Dancing beauty, Laila Rouass and Eastenders star Nitin Ganatra.

 

BASA awards ambassador Amir Khan was awarded with the Here&Now365 Champagne Moment of the Year award saying, “It feels great to win, there were some really strong contenders at the awards and I have respect for all the nominees.”

 

England women’s cricketer, Isa Guha was also celebrating after winning the Change4Life Sports Personality of the year award. Already an established cricketer she was recognised as being an integral role in the World Cup winning team last year. An overjoyed Guha beamed, “The ceremony was amazing! There were so many strong contenders up for this award and so I am truly humbled to have received it. I would like to thank the Change4Life British Asian Sports Awards for giving myself and others a platform to showcase our talent. It’s been a great year for women in sport and I hope that this award can inspire more women to get actively involved in sports.”

 

The evening was topped off with brilliant performances from chart-toppers Chipmunk and The Saturdays as well as and various talented British Asian pop singers including Navin Kundra.

 

The partnership between The British Asian Sports Awards and Change4Life sees a move to increasing awareness of the importance of eating well amongst the South Asian community, where dietary related illnesses, such as type 2 Diabetes, are much higher than the national average. The charity auction on the night also raised thousands of pounds for The British Asian Trust.

 

The event will be broadcast globally on Sony Entertainment Television Asia in April 2010
