Since LUX Style Awards (LSA) 2022 has rolled out nominations for featuring Feroze Khan in the Best TV Actor category, the team has been facing backlash.
Now, netizens fuming over why Khan won an award for one of Pakistan’s biggest award shows. Many social media users are expressing outrage over Feroze Khan winning an award for Best Actor for Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3, despite domestic abuse allegations by his ex-wife Aliza Sultan.
Many of the users even called the drama pathetic for which Khan won an award for. Some of them even called out Unilever for advocating women beaters and abusers.
Dear @Unilever, today a man accused by his wife of domestic violence won a Best Actor award in Pakistan at the #LUXStyleAwards. Infact they have repeatedly shown support for abusers and sexual harassers. LUX is your product, are we to understand you stand by abusers?

Globally @Unilever is challenging domestic violence through their “campaigns.”
In Pakistan however, they are silencing victims of domestic violence by honoring perpetrators in award shows. #LuxStyleAwards pic.twitter.com/f29txk55GV— Kanwal Ahmed (@kanwalful) November 23, 2022
The fact that #LuxStyleAwards has nominated an alleged abuser goes to show how systemically the pain of Desi women is ignored. Domestic Violence is considered so commonplace, it is nothing more than a slight inconvenience. Grateful to the celebs and ppl who are speaking out.

Are there any abusers, harassers or wife beaters left who were not nominated for awards in #LuxStyleAwards ?

Despite the outrage expressed by netizens towards #LUXStyleAwards for nominating Feroze Khan, he supposedly won an award for his role in ‘Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3’. Humaima Malick accepted the award on his behalf and thanked the fans for making it happen. pic.twitter.com/hDwnpIYexf

For those who are saying that Fahad shouldn’t give award to an abuser I totally agree with this but I got to know that nobody is coming to give award to him and Fahad and Tabish were on stage at the moment thats why they announced the award.#LuxStyleAwards

Lux style awards has a history of glorifying harrassers and abusers, they are distributing awards to wife beaters like Feroz Khan and a known harrasser like Ali Zafar, when Eman Suleman could boycott it, other celebrities could’ve done the same. #LuxStyleAwards
