In August 2023, Sarmad was amongst many in the entertainment industry singled out for the coveted award. Others in the film industry to have been recognised have been Adnan Siddiqui, Zubaida (Naghma), and Hassan Askari, who have recognised for contributions to acting, hosting, and film direction, respectively, along with Naseer Baig Mirza (writer, producer), Ajab Khan (calligrapher, painter), and Baqir Abbas (flute player).
