I can sense the negativity in this thread, but just a request. Can we please be spared by it? The awards aren't meant to please everyone and neither are all opinions. If you don't agree with something, then ignore instead of arguing? I think that's better for others who join the thread as well.

Coming back to the winners. After reading a lot of analysis on these awards, and now getting pretty sick and tired of all the repetitive ranting everywhere, I think there justified. Whether it was Ayesha Omar's win for Khamoshi (which has been the most controversial so far) or Mahirah's win for Humsafar. There popularity based, and someone even pointed out that Ayesha's win is because of her connection with the audience through Bulbulay. Similarly, Humsafar was something that most Pakistani dramas haven't experienced. Khirad as a character was far more popular than the others nominated, thus the reason for Mahirah winning. Humsafar was big! In fact it was huge. Everyone was watching that show, even those who regularly don't even tune into a drama channel. It was an instant click with the youth. If they prefer watching Mahirah over Saba and voting for her, than that's there choice. I won't blame anyone for it.

Like I've said previously. The general audiences views always differ from those who analyse a show instead of just watching it. Everyone puts in effort and works with sincerity and dedication for there performance. Losing or winning shouldn't matter as much if your really passionate about your job. Which is something I admire Saba Qamar for. She lost out on Maat and Pani Jaisa Pyaar, but I haven't seen her be bitchy about it. Hopefully in the future she'll win for something even better.

Although, it definitely is too early in her career for Mahirah to be winning these awards, considering she's barely done any work, but I don't see that as her fault. She herself feels embarrassed for winning. I recall her saying on Faysal's show that she doesn't deserve it and nor will she for many many years. It's humble of her to admit that in such a competitive industry. Yes it's disappointing for Saba to not win, but again the fault lies within the corrupt system that these award functions are based on, and not because of a specific actor or actress. I know she has the potential to become a great actor, if she strives to work harder which she does. The only problem is , you need to do more work to become better at it, and Mahirah's work is always going to remain limited sadly.
