In the words of the Director
Asima Haq, Director for Beauty and Personal Care at Unilever Pakistan, said, “In 2001, the LUX Style Awards began as a platform to celebrate the incredible artistry and talent of Pakistan’s entertainment and performing arts industry. Today, LSA marks its 20th year as one of Pakistan’s most enduring and prestigious flagship award shows”.
She further said: “Over the two decades of its existence, LSA has honoured countless industry veterans and inspired generations of emerging artists to embrace the performing arts. I extend my gratitude to our jury that has been a vital part of this journey and LSA’s success over the years. It is deeply heartening to celebrate our twentieth year at a time when the Entertainment fraternity has braved tough COVID conditions, to support the nation through an emotionally challenging period by creating uplifting content when audiences needed it the most. Congratulations to all nominees participating this year.”
