LONDON: Pakistani superstar Fahad Mustafa on Wednesday is honoured with two awards by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the United Kingdom (UK) for his remarkable contributions to entertainment and cultural exchange.
During the event, he received two major awards: the Diversity Impact Award for uniting communities and inspiring audiences through his exceptional storytelling, and the Cultural Impact Award for promoting diversity and fostering cultural understanding through media.
The ceremony, hosted by prominent figures including Member of Parliament (MPs) Naz Shah, Afzal Khan, and Lord Wajid Khan, brought together leading members of the British Pakistani community from various fields such as business, sports, and media.
The event was organised by Multicultural UK, which highlighted Mustafa’s influence on global audiences, especially through his record-breaking show Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which garnered over a billion views worldwide.
Shanza Raja, director of Multicultural UK, praised Fahad Mustafa’s talent and widespread appeal, drawing comparisons to Hollywood icons like Ryan Reynolds and Idris Elba. “This evening celebrates storytelling and representation, reminding us of the power of South Asian talent in uniting communities worldwide,” she said.
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum superstar also shared this news on Instagram with his fans with a caption saying ” Our Stories Really Matter!
This recognition is not just mine—it belongs to every artist, every dreamer, and every storyteller in Pakistan who dares to dream big and cross boundaries. It is a testament to the power of our culture, our stories, and the unyielding spirit of unity that makes us shine on the global stage.
As a proud Pakistani, I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the Diversity and Cultural Impact Award and the Global Cultural Unity Award at the prestigious House of Commons. Every time I stand here, representing my homeland, I am reminded of the incredible strength, beauty, and potential of Pakistan and its people.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to The Honourable Naz Shah MP, The Right Honourable Lord Wajid Khan, and Multicultural UK for this incredible honor and for making this evening unforgettable.”
