'Shaan-e-Pakistan' returns with season 2

After its successful debut in 2015, 'Shaan-e-Pakistan' has made a comeback with its second season 'Kya Dilli, Kya Lahore.'

The Indo-Pak collaborative platform is conceived and led by Huma Nassr of Braahtii and is all set to happen in the historic city of Lahore, Pakistan from March 20-22.

The second edition of 'Shaan-e-Pakistan' is a platform that will be giving a platform to a range of Pakistani and Indian participants across music, the culinary arts, fashion, textile, high street, accessories, lifestyle products at a 3-day exhibition, musical evening and dinner and fashion show.

Speaking about the platform, Huma Nassr of Braahti said, "We are extremely thrilled to host the second edition of Shaan-e-Pakistan here in Pakistan itself and what better place than the epicenter of culture, cuisine, history and more: Lahore."

"Lahore and Delhi share many similarities, with a platform like Shaan-e-Pakistan we are providing an opportunity to our Indian friends to experience Lahore in its true sense. India is like a home to me and I wish the people of both countries to share their individualities and improve their relationships by showcasing their craft, talent and ideas on one unified platform," she added.
