Top honours: Ishq Murshid leads, Zard Patton Ka Bunn answers back

Ishq Murshid took Best Drama and Best Actor (Male) for Bilal Abbas Khan. Zard Patton Ka Bunn led the jury-leaning picks, with Sajal Aly named Best Actress (Female), Mustafa Afridi winning Best Writer, and Best Director split between Saife Hasan (ZPKB) and Farooq Rind (Ishq Murshid). Hania Aamir received the Global Star Award, Ahmed Jahanzeb won Best OST for the Ishq Murshid theme, and the On-Screen Couple nod went to Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem.

Stage highlights: sing-alongs and throwbacks

Asim Azhar opened with Meem Se Mohabbat.

Ahmed Jahanzeb performed the Ishq Murshid OST soon after his win.

Ali Zafar turned up the tempo with Masti, and Ali Haider brought back Zalim Nazron Se.

Mehwish Hayat and Humayun Saeed delivered a film-hits medley.

Ramsha Khan with Shuja Asad closed a nostalgia loop with a Nazia–Zohaib tribute, Disco Deewane.

Four fashion looks that landed:

Mawra Hocane’s scarlet Gemy Maalouf gown worked on clean lines and movement over heavy sparkle.

Mahirah Khan kept it classic in an ivory Iqbal Hussain sari, lifted by a green choker and a neat bun.

Hania Aamir went modern in a midnight-blue velvet set by Mihha with statement earrings.

For menswear, Shuja Asad cut through the black-tie wall with a dark-green embroidered Nomi Ansari coat.
