London: Fahad Mustafa, a prominent Pakistani actor, has made history by becoming the first Pakistani to receive two awards from the British Parliament. The event, organized by Multicultural Britain, celebrated Fahad’s efforts in promoting cultural exchange and global harmony.
Fahad received the Diverse City and Cultural Impact Award from Naz Shah in the House of Commons. In the House of Lords, Lord Wajid Khan, a British Minister, presented him with the Global Cultural Unity Award. These awards recognize Fahad’s role in breaking cultural barriers and fostering diversity through his contributions to the entertainment industry.
This recognition underscores the growing acknowledgment of global talent and cultural diplomacy. Fahad Mustafa’s remarkable career in Pakistani film and television has earned him international acclaim, and these awards solidify his position as a cultural ambassador.
Fahad’s recognition follows the recent honor given to Mahira Khan, another Pakistani superstar. Last month, Mahira received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Parliament. Afzal Khan, a Member of Parliament, invited her to the ceremony held in the UK Parliament’s committee room. The event was also attended by Dr. Sara Naeem, the wife of Pakistan’s High Commissioner.
In her speech, Mahira thanked everyone who supported her journey. She spoke about her upbringing, sharing how her parents ensured she had equal opportunities for education. Growing up in a Pashtun family, Mahira reflected on studying abroad, which strengthened her confidence and determination as a woman and professional.
The achievements of Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan highlight the increasing global recognition of Pakistani talent, especially in cinema and cultural diplomacy.
