Pakistan’s leading actor Fahad Mustafa was celebrated at the iconic House of Commons in an event unlike any other — a first-of-its-kind double award ceremony recognising his unparalleled contributions to entertainment and cultural diplomacy.
The prominent actor was given two awards: Diversity Impact Award – in recognition of his exceptional contribution to drama and storytelling, connecting communities and inspiring audiences globally – and Cultural Impact Award – in recognition of his outstanding achievements in promoting diversity and fostering cultural connections through media.
The evening, hosted by MP Naz Shah, Afzal Khan MP, and Lord Wajid Khan, the Communities Minister, brought together luminaries from British Pakistani communities across business, sport, media, and parliament.
Shazana Raja, Director of Multicultural UK said Mustafa, one of Pakistan’s most accomplished actors and producers, was honoured for his record-breaking achievements, including the phenomenal success of his drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which has amassed over 1 billion views globally.
She said: “His ability to captivate audiences worldwide has earned him comparisons to Hollywood icons such as Ryan Reynolds and Idris Elba, underlining his charisma, versatility, and global appeal.
