The LSA nominations controversy started after Meesha Shafi’s song ‘Mein’ was nominated for the best song but she demanded that her name and work be removed from the list of nominees given the current circumstances.
In a social media message, Shafi expressed her desire to back down from the nomination and wrote:
“I want to thank Eman Suleman. What she, Generation and Saima Bargfrede have said and done is what I consider my award.”
She added, “In a perfect world, I would love to see women retain their space in the industry while being safe so that the cost of speaking up is minimized, or even done away with altogether. A cost which is all too high at present. Our boycotts should not overshadow our achievements. With brave women like these, I feel optimistic about getting there one day.”
