Fawad Fans Have a Major Outburst on Twitter, Slam Filmfare Awards

The recently concluded 62nd Filmfare Awards have given way to a controversy surrounding Pakistani-actor Fawad Khan.

Fawad was nominated in the supporting actor category, but eventually lost it to Rishi Kapoor; both actors were nominated for the movie Kapoor and Sons.

This has not gone down well with Fawad fans, who took to Twitter to express their disappointment. In fact, an entire range of emotions were witnessed on the social media platform, right from the anticipation of the nomination to the actual conclusion of the ceremony.

Hoping Fawad Gets the Award

C'mon C'mon Fawaad 🙏🙏🙏 #filmfareawards2017

As expected, Rishi Kapoor won Fawad Khan's award.💔💔Out of the cast it was Fawad and Ratna who were most deserving for awards. #Filmfare

Fawad and Ratna Pathak Shah were best things about K&S and among years finest performers ..

Ya all award juries suck really bad..

Did Fawad Deserve ‘Best Actor’ Nomination Instead?

Fawad & Diljit were not "supporting" in K&S/UP… I'm not upset with them not winning…angry they weren't in right category. #JioFilmfareAwards

Some Actually Smelled a Conspiracy

Fawad khan deserved to win filmfare and all other awards, if it wasn't for his nationality then he would have swept them.
