13 best and worst moments from Lux Style Awards 2016

From Fawad Khan's flawless act to Ali Zafar's unimpressive stint as a host, we bring to you all the highlights

KARACHI: Lux Style Awards (LSA) 2016 definitely lived up to all the hype and expectations.

But every major event has it's share of ups and downs and so did the LSAs. From Fawad Khan's flawless act to Ali Zafar's not-so-flawless stint as a host, we bring to you 13 best and worst moments from the biggest night of the year.

Best

1. Amjad Sabri's tribute

The entire atmosphere at the star-studded red carpet changed as the family of the late Qawwali legend entered the venue. Sharing their sentiments with the media, Amjad Sabri's brothers and son said they wished he was awarded during his lifetime.

Later on, Ali Zafar and Ali Sethi came together on stage to work their magic.

2. Everything Mahira does

It was a special night for Mahira as she not only performed live for the first time but also because her father was among present in the audience.

Mahira, who won three awards, dedicated her trophies to her father in a heartwarming speech.

3. Yasir Hussain's act

Yasir surely knows how to leave the audience in splits with his witty sense of humour. And he didn't fail to surprise us this time too as he took a dig at some of the big names sitting in the audience.

Our favourite: Censor Board (Fakhr-e-Alam) sitting next to Mathira.

4. Sohai's power-packed performance

Well she wasn't wrong when she said "dancing gives her adrenaline rush." Sohai's back-to-back performances surely set the right mood.

5. For a noble cause

While the winners dedicated awards to their beloved ones, Faisal Qureshi, who won Best TV Actor, and Nilofar Shahid, who won Lifetime Achievement Award in Fashion, dedicated their awards to Kashmiris and the late Abdul Sattar Edhi respectively.

6. Fawad Khan being Fawad Khan

He made us wait for far too long, but it was all worth it. The superstar hosted a special segment with Ahmed Ali Butt taking a dig at the industry's makeup artists and hairstylists, giving everyone fits of laughter.

7. Free food

We couldn't help ourselves from binging on all these mouthwatering appetisers.

Worst

8. Not on time!

Our patience was tested once again as the event failed to start on time. Although the invite said the red carpet would be at 6pm, the main event actually started past 11pm.

9. Mawra Hocane's obsession with Ranbir Kapoor

Mawra's co-host Ahmed Ali Butt and Mohsin Abbas Haider constantly teasing her with Ranbir's "single" status was neither funny nor required.

10. Ali Zafar messing up (big time)

Ali kicked off the grand night with his killer performance but was unimpressive as a host. His act was filled with technical glitches. The "rockstar" announced the wrong presenters and categories throughout and gave several re-takes.

11. Jeena's parents finally found

We admit that 'Jeena Key Maa Baap Nahi Hain' has become a national concern but no one went out of their way to look for them. Amid all the fun acts with celebrities, Ahmed Ali Butt hit below the belt by introducing a midget couple as Jeena's (Aisha Khan's character in Mann Mayal) parents.

12. QB swearing on stage

While presenting an award for the music category on stage, Fakhr-e-Alam hurled something at Ahmed Ali Butt for constantly trolling him over censorship, to which he called out exclaiming "Terrorist". But Quratulain Baloch was unforgiving as she responded saying, "Who was that rascal?"

13. Say no to shaming!

Yasir Hussain obviously doesn't know that taking a jab at an ace designer is "not cool"

The host of the night made an apparently rude remark while posing for a selfie with his front profile. "Is angle Se Nahi, Deepak Perwani Ki Tarah Mu Bara Ata Hai," said Yasir. To which Deepak responded, "Not cool."

All-in-all the night was filled with exciting moments and will surely be remembered as a memorable event.
