Controversies edit

Due to outrage and huge criticism on LUX for not nominating Bashar Momin, one of the most popular play of that year, in any of the category, nominations were revised by the jury after which the play was nominated with some other nominations were also add. However, the nominations belong to Hum TV were excluded on the team's own request. The reason was probably that last year Zindagi Gulzar Hai did not sweep all the categories as Humsafar did in 12th Lux Style Awards, so it was decided to not submit any portfolio by the network.^[6]^[7]
