'''Indian Telly Award for Best Actor in a Lead Role (Male)''' is an [[award]] given as a part of the annual [[Indian Telly Awards]].

The award was first awarded in 2002 under the title '''TV Actor Of The Year'''. A special award called '''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 nominations just like the original award which is now called '''Best Actor Popular'''.
