# Hum Award for Best Supporting Actress

The Hum Award for Best Supporting Actress is an award presented annually by the Hum Television Network and Entertainment Channel (HTNEC). It is given in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role while working within the television industry. The 1st Hum Awards (for 2012) was held in 2013, resulting in a tie that awarded both Shagufta Ejaz and Samina Peerzada for their roles in Mere Qatil Mere Dildar and Roshan Sitara respectively. The award has commonly been referred to as the hum for Best Supporting Actress. Currently, nominees are determined by a single transferable vote, within the actors and jury branch of HTNEC; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Hum. Multiple nominations for an actress in the same category but for different roles is eligible.
Since its inception, the award has been awarded to four actresses. Samina Peerzada has received the most awards in this category with two awards. Despite winning no awards, Saniya Shamshad was nominated on two occasions with a total of three nominations, more than any other actress. As of 2016 ceremony, Sarah Khan is the most recent winner in this category for her role in Mohabbat Aag Si.
