Faraz will also serve as a jury member for the awards. He is said to have a special surprise in store, for the first time. Masala! will host a fashion show where Faraz will get to showcase his Spring and Summer 2019 couture collection.

In short, it works for everyone,” read a statement by the celebrated couturier. Kareena is also said to have a special act planned for her fans in the UAE.
From the Pakistani sphere, the Ho Mann Jahaan's Sheheryar will be present as well. The actor was recently seen opposite Mahira in Saat Din Mohabbat In and is currently shooting with Maya Ali for the Asim Raza-helmed Paray Hat Love.
Osman, star of Balu Mahi and Baaji, will also be gracing the red carpet with model-turned-actor Amna. Frieha will reportedly be presenting an award at the event as well.
