You heard it here first: The HELLO! Hall of Fame Awards are back

After a remarkable run celebrating India’s most influential names since 2010, the HELLO! Hall of Fame Awards are making their much-awaited return in 2026. This year, the prestigious awards come under the banner of the India Today Group, marking a powerful revival of one of India’s most glamorous and anticipated nights of recognition.

The HELLO! Hall of Fame Awards have always been known as more than just a ceremony. Rather, they've been a cultural moment where the country’s most inspiring personalities; from cinema, fashion, business, sports and the arts, gather under one roof to celebrate excellence, individuality and influence. Post a pause, the 2026 edition of the HELLO! Hall of Fame Awards are ready to return to the spotlight; promising a night that captures the spirit of achievement and celebration. The comeback carries a sense of excitement and nostalgia as they've always held a special place in India’s social calendar. Known for their star power, memorable red carpet moments and meaningful recognitions, the evening celebrates those who shape culture and inspire change. Their return signals not just the revival of an event, but the continuation of a legacy that honours individuals who have left a lasting mark in their fields.

This time, the journey continues with the backing of the India Today Group, whose expansive media presence and storytelling legacy bring fresh momentum to the platform. This collaboration marks a new era for the awards; one that promises to expand their reach while preserving the glamour, prestige and spirit that have defined the brand over the years.

The 2026 edition of the awards will bring some of India’s most influential names together. Actors, designers, entrepreneurs, athletes and cultural icons will be celebrated for the impact they have created in their respective fields. Glamour too, remains an essential part of the evening. The red carpet has always been one of the most anticipated highlights, where fashion, creativity and personality come together. Designers, influencers and stylists treat the night as a canvas for statement couture, while celebrities arrive in looks that often set the tone for fashion conversations across the season.

At the heart of the Hall of Fame Awards lies a simple idea. It is about celebrating those who inspire. Whether it is an actor redefining cinema, a designer shaping fashion conversations or an entrepreneur building something extraordinary, the awards recognise individuals whose work resonates far beyond their industries.

As the HELLO! Hall of Fame Awards prepare to return, the excitement around them feels unmistakable. In many ways, the comeback reflects a larger cultural mood. It is about celebrating creativity, acknowledging achievement and bringing together the people shaping India’s evolving narrative.

With the support of the India Today Group and the legacy of HELLO! behind it, the awards are ready to reclaim their place on the country’s social calendar.
