Saba Qamar boycotts Lux Style Awards in protest

Pakistani actress Saba Qamar recently revealed that she would not be attending the much coveted Lux Style Awards (LSA) in protest and that she does not believe in the credibility of the show.

Qamar recently appeared in an Indian movie alongside Indian actor Irfan Khan and her acting in the movie is being widely applauded.

Qamar believes that she has been nominated for her acting skills in the LSAs just because now she has the Bollywood stamp on her.

“Although I am nominated for three different plays, I will not be attending the LSAs as a protest,” Qamar told local reporters in a telephonic conversation. “They never bothered to honour me during the past 12 years and now that I have the Bollywood stamp, everyone is acknowledging me all of a sudden.”

The trailer of Qamar’s debut Bollywood movie called Hindi Medium left everyone speechless as the actress has shown some great acting skills in it. Ever since the trailer hit the waves, everyone in the entertainment industry has been raving about Qamar’s performance and what a great talent she possesses.

However, to Qamar, all of this is plain hypocrisy as the actress believes that she has done similar performances in Pakistani plays as well, but no one ever appreciated that.

“I have been working in the Pakistani entertainment industry since 2004 and no brand or award show has ever approached me in all this time. Now that I have come back from India, every brand and every award show is running after me. It’s almost as if they just noticed my presence,” she stated.

The 16th Lux Style Awards are due to take place on April 19 and artists have been nominated for 28 different categories.
