Hum Awards amid flood situation: Hadiqa Kiani, Mahira Khan share point of views
Famous showbiz personalities, Hadiqa Kiani and Mahira Khan responded to the criticism against the actors attending Hum Awards ceremony
Famous showbiz personalities, Hadiqa Kiani and Mahira Khan have shared their point of views to respond to the criticism against the actors attending Hum Awards ceremony in Canada.
Singer-cum-actor Hadiqa Kiani is busy in flood relief activities and took an initiative to assist the flood victims through Vaseela-e-Raah. She is also engaging her social media followers by updating the progress on flood relief activities.
She wrote on Instagram, “As has been abundantly clear, my focus right now is the plea of flood victims, my mother and my son. So this year I was unable to attend the HUM Awards 2022 as they were held in Canada and traveling that far would be impossible for me right now.”
“I have been away from social media outside of sharing about floods but my team and family members have informed me that there have been a lot of controversies about those attending, those not attending, and the fairness of awards. My social media accounts have received countless messages, tweets, TikToks and YouTube videos where people are very upset that I didn’t win an award because I did not attend.”
“Although I do not think I was worthy of winning an award this year, I want to make it clear that I was presented with “Best New Sensation” award this year for my performance in Raqeeb Se. I found this out when my colleague and the wonderful actress Iqra Aziz messaged me about the win. I also received a call from Ammara Kashif (the beautiful and kind wife of Kashif Nisar)my first congratulatory call about the award and she sent me this video And like I said, I don’t believe I deserve the award but I want to make clear that Hum TV did not discriminate against me because I did not attend. They are not asking me to post this but I feel it my duty to make that clear. We don’t need more rumors in this world.”
“I would also like to thank the wonderful cast and crew of Raqeeb Se and congratulate my colleagues for the awards Raqeeb Se took home that night. It was a labor of love and nothing more. I would especially like to thank Bee Gul for her excellent writing, master director Kashif Nisar, Nauman Ejaz, Sania Saeed, Iqra Aziz, Faryal Mehmood, Saqib Sameer, Saba Faisal and everyone who was able to make this drama happen. Most importantly, I’d like to thank those who watched and supported this project.”
“I know those who are upset have reasons to be but instead of finding anger on others or the situation, let’s find solutions and help each other. This doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the good or do our jobs, this just means that we have to continue to do our part in making the world just a little bit better. One step at a time.”

Mahira Khan also responded to the criticism in a Twitter message. She said, “Its never ok for us – the artists of your country! I have and will continue to do my part. If it makes you happy, I can take some pictures while at it. Oh but then it’ll be – showing off doing charity. The unkind commentary never ends. You do you. I will do me.”

Mira Sethi backed Khan and said, “I’m with Mahira on this. I was in Balochistan doing relief work and tremblingly shared photos for fear of “showing off doing good deeds.” I know Mahira and Mashion have been raising funds for flood affectees—she just hasn’t advertised it.”
