Indian Telly Award for Best Actor in a Lead Role – Male is an award given by IndianTelevision.com as part of its annual Indian Telly Awards for TV serials, to recognize a male actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role.
The award was first awarded in 2002 under the title TV Actor of the year. A special award called Best Actor – Critics or Best Actor – Jury was also awarded occasionally in 2000s, whose winner was selected by the jury of critics assigned to the function.
The jury award was awarded without prior nominations until 2012. Since then, the jury award is also awarded with prior nominations just like the original award which is now called Best Actor – Popular.
