Season 14

Season 14 of Afghan Star was historical. A diverse group of twelve talented artists from across Afghanistan made their way to the show after being juried by

Miri Maftun Mir Maftoon ( fa, میر مفتون) also written as Mehri Maftun, is an Afghan musician. Born 1962s in Badakhshan. He specialized in authentic instruments, principally the dambura (a two string lute), the harmonium and the ghaychak (a two string v ...

, Qais Ulfat and Saida Gul Maina. In this season, out of the twelve contestants, two of them were female. Sediqa Madadgar from

and Zahra Elham from

were two of the female contestants participating in the show. The overall format of the season was that the contestant with the majority of the votes from the public will be moved forward in the show. Sediq Madadgar got up to the seventh round of the show. In this season, Wasim Anwari, Firuz Fazel and Zahra Elham made it to top three. During the history of Afghan Star which is in the last 14 years, all the winners were male. Therefore, this season marked the first time that an eighteen-year-old woman, Zahra Elham, won the competition. Elham gained the majority of the votes from the public, inside and outside the country. Furthermore, she is of Hazara ethnicity, which is a minority in the country. Her hometown,

, was sieged by the Taliban in August 2018, displacing thousands of Hazaras. She has also been an activist for women rights, whilst some Afghan men and the Taliban are against women's participation in singing and dancing competition. She referenced those men during the show by asking people to vote for her to give a slap in the faces of jealous men or men who are against women's freedom. She was on a mission to break down the records of male winners. In her interview with Al-Jazeera TV, Zahra mentions that both of her parents supported her dream to become a pop singer. This narrative goes against many stories about Afghan girls not having the freedom or the right to do what they like. By gaining the majority of the vote from the people, her success demonstrates that the people of Afghanistan support female participation in Afghan Star. She attributes her success to all the women in Afghanistan by saying that: "I am so so happy, I cannot even find words to express my feelings... Today, I represent all the girls of Afghanistan. Today not only Zahra Elham but all the girls in Afghanistan have won."

Season 15

The show returned to its 15th season, Saidagul Maina and Mir Maftoon returned in their places as judges,

, the show was postponed to January 2021. The season was hosted by Mustafa Azizyar, and there was a total of 10 contestants from 5 previous seasons (S11-15) of Afghanstar. The format of show was like a battle show with two coaches, Aryana Sayeed and Qais Ulfat. Each coach had 5 contestants on their team. A new feature was introduced in this season called the Golden Buzzer, which gave the coaches the power to keep one of their favorite contestants from elimination. Aryana Sayeed used it for Khalil Yosufi when he was eliminated for 3rd position, while Qais Ulfat's Buzzer chance remained unused till the end. This season had a lot of controversy, quarrels between the two most favorite contestants, Fahim Fana and Jamal Mubarez, while Aryana Sayeed the coach of Jamal Mubarez was also involved in some words. All these incidents caused Fahim Fana to leave the show just a few weeks before the finals. The two finalists were Mansour Jalal (Team Qais) and Jamal Mubarez (Team Aryana) which at the end the season was won by Jamal Mubarez.
