Shan’s first ever live performance at the 2006 Lux Style Awards

While Lollywood’s biggest heartthrob was used to doing dance numbers on screen, he had never performed live. In 2006 Shaan was paired up in a dance number with Saima who looked beautiful in her ‘laal laacha’. The two of them left their audience spellbound.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Humayun Saeed wins his first award for Chaandni Raatein in 2003

Do you remember what a big blockbuster this serial was? This was the time when all the ladies went ga ga over the very young and handsome Humayun Saeed for the first time. His performance was praiseworthy and the serial, based on issues of polygamy and motherhood, very captivating. Humayun has come a long way, hasn’t he?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”583″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”584″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Moin Akhtar’s entertainment segments in 2003

What a precious night. The 2003 LSAs left us with so many beautiful memories of Moin Akhtar at his prime. He provided the audience with comic relief but it was clear as day that he was not just a humorist – he was, and still remains, one of Pakistan’s most treasured actors, hosts, producers and writers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Nominated in the category alongside the biggest names of the television industry, like Nadeem sahib, Abid Ali, Firdous Jamal, Sajid Hasan and Talat Hussain, he said “I wasn’t expecting this. Just like Humayun scored a hat trick this year for winning awards, I will score one for not getting the award!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”585″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”586″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Karma winning the Best Couture Designer award one year before they parted ways

It was highly ironic when Maheen Kardar stated “I’d like to thank my partners, Kamiar and Saad – I can’t think of working with any other two people” upon winning the Best Couture Designer award in 2006. It was great to see Rokni and Ali together on stage that year before they split and parted ways permanently, a year later. Since then, both the designers have come a long way with their separate design houses.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Even after her 28 year journey in the fashion world she said “thank you, not just for the award but for inspiring me, hopefully, to a new beginning”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
