Criticism

Criticism came from audience that Yumna Zaidi was snubbed for not being nominated despite giving a powerful performance in Dar Si Jaati Hai Sila.Many have argued that Suno Chanda (Best Television Play winner) did not age well compared to the other nominated dramas like Dar Si Jaati Hai Sila and Dil Mom Ka Diya, both of which were the most acclaimed dramas of that year. There is also a discourse over Iqra Aziz's double win for Suno Chanda, accordingly to critics Neelam Muneer could have easily won either of the awards as she gave a much more dynamic performance in Dil Mom Ka Diya.
