This year's Lux Style Awards (LSAs) were held in Lahore on February 20 and finally aired on April 22. While most enjoyed the star-studded broadcast and all the glitz glam that comes with it, some seem to have taken notice of local film producer Fizza Ali Meerza.

Meerza, who has hits such as Na Maloom Afraad and Actor in Law under her belly, was spotted booing Ahad Raza Mir as he went on stage to receive an award. Ahad was dubbed the Best TV Actor - a category that even Na Maloom Afraad's Mohsin Abbas Haider was nominated for.

When the Yakeen Ka Safar star went on stage to receive his award, Haider and Meerza were seated in the crowd. While the former was applauding Ahad for his well-deserved win, the latter was spotted booing him.

It's evident that the producer wanted Haider to take the trophy home, since the two have worked together on various occasions and hence share a friendly bond. However, fans deemed this as immature and disrespectful on her part.

Many people have come forth questioning Meerza for her antics. They took to Instagram stating, "Can she clarify why she was seen discouraging a young, sensational actor winning an award?"

One claimed, "If our producers show such idiocies in live shows, who are the young artists going to look up to?"

Another added, "If producers like you are going to publicly shame and discourage young talent, I don't know who will be the actors' saviour."

"I wonder if I will still be able to buy a ticket to your film, now that you've disrespected someone from your own industry," stated a fan.

People have requested both Meerza and LSAs team to offer a public apology.
