Coronation Street actor Jimni Harkishin, who plays Dev Alahan, was presented with an award at the first ever Asian Media Awards 2013.

Jimmi was presented with The Sophiya Haque Services to British Television Award.

Jimmi told the Manchester Evening News: "I feel really privileged and honoured to have been awarded the Sophiya Haque Award for Services to British Television. When you win an award like this it means you really must be getting on a bit!"

The award was named in honour of actress Sophiya Haque who played Poppy Morales in Coronation Street.  Sophiya passed away earlier this year of cancer, aged 41.
