Summary She was critical of those using the platform to become a part of a controversy
(Web Desk) - Imaan Ali has chastised the walk outs from Lux Style Awards as mere publicity stunts to get fame without hard work, as she solemnly states.
She was critical of those using the platform to become a part of a controversy, trying to destroy someone’s life work on their whim.
‘Our sense of entitlement to quickly judge anyone and jump to conclusions worrisome especially in this age of social media. A platform that has made it too easy for some to become a part of controversy or join a bandwagon and become famous overnight and potentially ruin anyone’s life or body of work in minutes.’
In her Instagram post, she has put her weight behind the awards, while lashing out at those walking out on the awards as a gimmick for publicity.
‘Fame and respect are supposed to be earned through hard work not by childish walkouts and social media posts playing judge, jury and executioner,’ she added.
Recently a number of celebs refused their nominations
Nominees that have staged protest and decided not to be a part of the awards are director Jami, model Rubaab Ali and Eman Suleman clothing brand Generation, makeup artists Saima Bagfrede and Fatima Nasir, singer Meesha Shafi and folk-rock band The Sketches.
