Nominations for the 11th Lux Style Awards

E-Paper | April 30, 2026

Mera Saaen went ahead with five nominations in various categories.

Pakistan’s only entertainment awards show the 11^th Lux Style Awards released their nominations in 26 different categories in the field of television, film, music and fashion.

The nominations reflect the three entertainment industries of the country; fashion leading with nine nominations with big wigs such as Khaadi, Sana Safinaaz, Kamiar Rokni, Mehreen Syed, Maram Azmat etc and new-comers such as Nadir Firoz, Raana Khan, Sania Maskatiya, Abbas Jafri with their wonderful portfolio.

Television made up to eight nominations with Noman Ijaz being nominated for both terrestrial and satellite dramas and Fahad Musafa nominated twice for satellite dramas. Mera Saaen went ahead with five nominations in various categories.

Five nominations from the music industry were sent in with Best Original Soundtrack being the most interesting category and the Best Emerging Talent also looking quite promising.

Sadly only one nomination from the film industry made it, and that thanks Shoaib Mansoor’s Bol, which is the only nomination with three different categories.

Isn't it obvious that that the judges are jealous of the success of humsafar. Lets face it, from September 2011 - March 2012, everyone was talkng about humsafar, and no one even bothered to talk about any other drama serial. Needless to say, everyone in the industry hates humsafar. But the judges have made a very big mistake and affected the credibility of the awards.

Sadly in our country in every field the hallmark of all criteria’s of selection is corruption.

Right you are. I fail to believe that the organizers were dumb enough to think that people will not notice the absence of Humsafar from the nominee list.

Sir / Madam, This is unfair. Humsafar is blockbaster drama serial after a very long time. Please re-consider in nominations for 11 LUX Style Awards. Thx.

I am not sure what the criteria for nomination is, but I reckon the Hum TV drama serial, 'Humsafar', deserved a few nominations.

Can you read all the comments. Everyone is speaking about 'Humsafar'. And rightly so. It really deserved to be nominated. Poor showing 11 LUX Style Awards. Goodby to the only Awards in the Pakistani media. Its a SHAME.

Humsafar was the most touching drama that I have ever seen. Very clearly depicting relationships in general of a typical house in Pakistan. The story was classic and all actors were devoted to their performance. I happened to be in USA during a few episodes, and I was surprised to see the viewership in Chicago itself. This clearly showed how favourite this drama had been in and ourt of Pakistan. Hats off to the writed, director, producer and the entire team.

Humsafar was a terribly over rated, generic, Bold and the Beautiful Paki adaptation! Nothing more! Yes there were bits of good acting in it, but over all the drama was NOT all that! Its not that the story does not depict the nature of Pakistani society, its just that this story has been used a little too much for it... In comparison i found Mera Saeen to be way more engaging, with amazing acting, superb script and MORE reflective of our society.

A lot of star plus dramas are very famous here in US. I dont think that is a very good criteria to assess quality of a show.

Surprising how humsafar (made like a yash chopra film) is ticking every ones nerves, where as serials like Chat, were never mentioned in prev years, Humsafar was a glamour drama and had a young and old glamorous cast, it had the normal shaadi, and evil mum business, which I think we have seen a lot of generally, but mera Saeein is what is happening alot recently in our societys with the upper class, and it was time noman ejaz was nominated , as after DASHT he was a miss from LSA, Hope for the best for our industry and lets be postive peeps :)
