President of the Hum TV Network, Sultana Siddiqui was recognised
for her contribution to the entertainment industry with the Scroll of Honour
award at the 5th GR8! Women Awards in Dubai on January 12.
The awards are given every year by the Indian Television Academy
to celebrate the outstanding contributions made by women in various fields,
including art, cinema, environment, entrepreneurship and education.
“I think women in Pakistan have shown brilliance in different
fields but most of the time, they are let down by society. All they need is
encouragement and support from their families. At Hum TV Network, women hold
key positions and they excel in their work."
"This award I think
is not so much for me as it is women in Pakistan, particularly in the field of
media,” she added.
Siddiqui, who is also a
producer, has always been involved with projects directed towards bringing
public awareness to social issues, such as female empowerment and promotion of
female education.
Others who emerged as winners included Bollywood starlets Aliya
Bhatt and Parineeti Chopra. Nimrat Kaur, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Surveen Chawla
also attended the affair held at Sofitel Dubai.
