Hum Awards are annual Pakistani entertainment awards presented by Hum Network Limited to recognise achievements in Pakistani television, fashion and music. The awards were launched in 2013 and are broadcast by Hum TV. The first ceremony was held at the Karachi Expo Centre in March 2013, with awards presented in television, fashion and music categories.[1]

The ceremony has been staged in Pakistan and internationally, including in Dubai, Canada, Houston and London. Since its launch, major winning dramas have included Shehr-e-Zaat, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Sadqay Tumhare, Diyar-e-Dil, Udaari, Yaqeen Ka Safar, Suno Chanda, Parizaad, Fairy Tale and Ishq Murshid.[2][3][4]

History

Hum Network announced the awards in 2013 as an annual awards programme for Pakistani television, fashion and music. The initial format included jury-selected awards and viewer-voted categories.[5] The first ceremony was held at the Karachi Expo Centre in March 2013, with awards presented in television, fashion and music categories. Shehr-e-Zaat won Best Drama Serial at the ceremony.[6]

The awards were later held outside Pakistan, beginning with the 3rd Hum Awards in Dubai in 2015. Sadqay Tumhare was the most awarded drama of the ceremony, winning ten awards, while Bunty I Love You won Best Serial Jury.[7] At the 4th Hum Awards in 2016, Diyar-e-Dil won both Best Drama Serial and Best Drama Serial Jury.[8]

The 5th Hum Awards took place in Lahore in 2017. Udaari won both the popular and jury awards for Best Drama Serial, while Sang-e-Mar Mar also received multiple awards.[9] The 6th Hum Awards were held in Canada in 2018, where Yaqeen Ka Safar was among the major winners.[10] The 7th Hum Awards were held in Houston in 2019, with Dar Si Jaati Hai Sila and Suno Chanda among the major drama winners.[11]

After the 2019 ceremony, the next edition was held in Canada in 2022. Parizaad was the major winner at the 8th Hum Awards.[12] The 2022 ceremony also drew criticism because it was held during the 2022 Pakistan floods. Hum TV later held a fundraising gala in Toronto for flood relief and rehabilitation efforts.[13]

The 9th Hum Awards were held at OVO Arena Wembley in London on 28 September 2024 and covered achievements from 2022 and 2023.[14] The 10th Hum Awards were held at NRG Arena in Houston on 11 October 2025.[15]
