Stars Sparkle at the Big Night of Awards.
Awards season always brings excitement and anticipation – a time when fans eagerly await to see their favorite stars shine. Each year, these glittering celebrations not only honour the finest talents of Pakistan’s entertainment industry but also beautifully showcase the nation’s creativity, artistry, and cultural richness.

This year, that magic reached new heights at the 10th Hum Awards in Houston, where the night sky seemed to sparkle with the glow of stardom. As dazzling lights illuminated the NRG Arena, Pakistani celebrities descended like stars to celebrate art, passion, and excellence. It wasn’t just an event – it was a grand tribute to Pakistan’s creative brilliance on a global stage.

The red carpet looked straight out of a movie set – gleaming lights, stunning décor, and the irresistible charm of the stars filled the atmosphere with glamour. Fans gathered to meet their favorite celebrities, snap selfies, and share joyful moments. The red carpet was hosted by Aniqah Zulfiqar, while Mahnoor Khan and Uzair Hassan handled the digital hosting duties.

The ceremony began with the national anthem, followed by dynamic hosting from Yasir Hussain, Mohib Mirza, Hareem Farooq, Ramsha Khan, and Dananeer Mobeen. The evening was brought to life with high-energy musical performances – Ali Zafar and Asim Azhar lit up the stage with their electrifying acts, while nostalgia filled the air when Ali Zafar and Ali Haider performed timeless classics together.
