Pakistani Actor Faisal Qureshi Expresses Disappointment Over Not Receiving Sitara-e-Imtiaz

Veteran Pakistani actor and TV host Faisal Qureshi has expressed disappointment over not being awarded the prestigious Sitara-e-Imtiaz despite his nomination.

In a recent podcast, Faisal humorously remarked that he considered visiting the “Imtiaz store” to claim the award himself. He revealed that his name has been returned twice and expressed confusion over the criteria for granting the honor. Faisal emphasized that he has no political affiliations or personal connections influencing his eligibility.

“I have a deep sense of patriotism, and if awarded, I would accept it because I believe I deserve it. It would be a victory for my work,” he said.

Faisal Qureshi has a long and celebrated career in TV and film, with notable performances in dramas like *Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan*, *Mein Abdul Qadir Hoon*, *Bashir Momin*, *Maqdar*, *Khai*, *Haywan*, *Faraq*, *Hook*, *Behrupiya*, *Bheegi Palkein*, *Raja Rani*, and *Fitoor*. He recently earned praise for his role as Kamran in the drama *Case Number 9*.
