In a surprising development, the 2024 HUM Awards nominations have been unveiled, and two of the industry’s most respected figures, Nauman Ijaz and Samiya Mumtaz, are notably absent. Both actors, who have long been celebrated for their contributions to Pakistani television, did not secure nominations this year, leaving fans and critics puzzled.
Nauman Ijaz, renowned for his diverse roles and powerful performances, has been a frequent nominee and winner in past years, making his exclusion a topic of considerable discussion. Similarly, Samiya Mumtaz, acclaimed for her significant impact on Pakistani drama, also did not receive a nod, leading to widespread disappointment among her supporters.
The HUM Awards committee has yet to provide an explanation for these omissions, sparking speculation and debate within the entertainment industry. Despite the absence of these big names, the 2024 awards are set to spotlight new and emerging talent, promising a fresh perspective on Pakistan’s vibrant entertainment scene.
As the awards ceremony approaches, all eyes will be on how the event unfolds and whether it will address the unexpected exclusions of these celebrated stars.
