Hadiqa Kiani holds no grudges against the Lux Style Awards for not nominating Raqeeb Se

The singer and actor clarified her feelings about the lack of nominations for her much loved debut drama.
28 Aug, 2021

Singer Hadiqa Kiani recently took to Instagram to publicly talk about the glaring lack of nominations for her drama Raqeeb Se at the Lux Style Awards 2021, saying she understands the reason behind the decision.

Kiani had made her debut with the television drama Raqeeb Se, starring alongside big names such as Naumaan Ijaz, Sania Saeed and Iqra Aziz. The play was written by Bee Gul, directed by Kashif Nisar and was a Momina Duraid production for Hum TV.

The Lux Style Awards recently announced its nominations in the music, fashion and television categories. In a message to her followers, Kiani talked about her drama not being nominated at the LSAs for a good reason.

"I've gotten so many messages of love and support for Sakina and Raqeeb Se today but something that needs to be clarified," she wrote. "Raqeeb Se did not qualify for this year's Lux Style Awards but it may qualify for nominations next year based off of the Lux Style Awards' year policy. So until then, let's hold our pitchforks.

"Congratulations to all nominees," Kiani added at the end.

For Kiani, Raqeeb Se had been a passion project that had proved to be a wonderful experience. In a previous conversation with Images, the 'Boohey Barian' singer had commented how she'd come to prepare herself for the endeavour.

"It was a totally new world for me but Nauman told me one thing — 'You will have to negate your thoughts, yourself and your personality, and you have to become that character. Once you do that, you will be true to your character.' I think this advice of his is going to stay with me for the rest of my life," she had said.

The drama, much loved by viewers and critics alike, revolved around the story of Sakina — played by Kiani — who flees from her abusive husband alongside her daughter and finds refuge at the home of her former lover.

Not nominating Hadiqa Kiani for her sterling and examplary performance in Raqeeb Se, is the equally sterling example of lack of merit and favouritism in such dubious nominations and awards.

That’s because Hadiqa is a talented and confident artist who doesn’t need validation of others for her work unlike the recent celebrities who’d do just about anything to stay relevant than to work on and perfect their craft

Hadiqa Kiani is my one of the favorite singer and great talent performer in Pakistan and abroad. Lux Style Awards have lots of favoritism. After all Pakistani judges or the decision makers have lack of professionalism and their dubious nominations have no merit to it.

Real talent is not dependent on staged, scripted and heavily commerialised award ceremonies.

Nothing is merit based otherwise all position holders and gold medelists would be running the world

She did not deserve so she was not nominated. Simple. Truth. Accept it. And move on.

She do not need any such award, she herself is a multi dimensional artist that none other can match. More than 25 years in performing arts industry; her experience & achievements are the real Awards & Trophies!
