Jami vows to 'stand by women' after ditching his LSA award

Film-maker threw his 2016 trophy for Best Film out on the road

Film-maker Jami has joined the bandwagon of stars protesting against the Lux Style Awards (LSA) by either rejecting their nominations or simply dropping out of the ceremony.

The director, who bagged an LSA award for his film Moor in 2016, made an announcement on social media that he will be "putting his trophy on the road outside his gate as it is useless for him."



Taking to Twitter, Jami wrote, "Tomorrow, we will be putting my Lux award outside my gate on the road. Recycle it please. It is useless. We stand with our women and their word - not their soaps."
