DHA Wali Maid beats Sistrology to win Best YouTuber award

A surprise result at the Pakistan Influencer Awards has sparked debate on social media after Iqra Kanwal, popularly known as Sistrology, lost the Best YouTuber award to the creator known as DHA Wali Maid.

The awards ceremony was organised by ARY Digital in collaboration with several multinational brands at Karachi’s Expo Centre on November 7. The event recognised popular Pakistani social media personalities across various categories.

Several well-known digital creators, including Kanwal Aftab, Zulqarnain Sikandar, Romaisa Khan and Aroob Jatoi, attended the ceremony and celebrated their wins.

Iqra Kanwal, who was among the nominees for Best YouTuber, expressed disappointment after missing out on the award. However, she appreciated her supporters for voting for her and acknowledged the efforts of her fans.

In her reaction, Iqra said that although she did not win and DHA Wali Maid received the award, she valued the support and love shown by her followers.

YouTuber Ducky Bhai also commented on the result, arguing that YouTube performance and subscriber numbers should be considered when determining the most deserving creator.

The decision triggered mixed reactions online. Some social media users supported the award outcome, while others questioned why Ducky Bhai was nominated in the category and argued that his content largely consists of food videos and short Instagram vlogs rather than traditional long-form YouTube vlogging.

Iqra Kanwal’s supporters maintained that she was a stronger contender because of her established presence in the YouTube vlogging scene. Others praised the recognition given to DHA Wali Maid, making the category one of the most discussed results of the ceremony.
