Komal Meer is a young actress and model. She started her career with Miss Veet Pakistan and she later transitioned into acting. She has starred in several dramas and she is slowly making her way in the drama world. She is also friends with all the top stars and we often see her at different events. The starlet was seen some time back at Yashma Gill’s sister’s wedding and she looked beautiful. This is how she looked:
Komal Meer has now debuted a new look which is being dubbed as a slight weight gain. She shared pictures and videos which went viral on social media. She looks different and her face looks a bit fuller after the “weight gain”. She is still looking beautiful and this is her new look. Here are some before and after pictures of the starlet:
The Internet as usual has a lot to say about Komal’s sudden change in look. Many people think that it is not weight gain but fillers. They are comparing her to different people including Javeria Abbasi and Aishwarya Rai. Many think this weight gain is not natural but plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. Fans have seen her at events in the past month or so and believe that such a huge change in weight is not possible in such a short period of time. This is what they had to say:
It is not easy to find friends who are true to you in the showbiz industry. Most of the people belonging to the world of glitz and glamour very often say that because of the aggressive competition in the industry people do not stay friends for very long. There are however some celebrities who have very successfully carried out their friendships despite all the hardships that one might face when they are in the limelight.
It makes their fans and followers happy to see these stars getting along so well. Many of these friends vacation together because holidays are more fun with friends. Some have also chosen to work together many times because sometimes it is good to stick together in the showbiz industry for other reasons too.
There are quite a few Pakistani celebrities who have kept their friendships intact for so many years and then there are others who are so close that they call each other ‘friends like family’ really often. There are also those Pakistani celebrities who have friends outside the celebrity circle but they never formed lasting friendships with their co-stars. Some of the celebrities also believe that talking too often about their friendships openly is not something they are fond of therefore although these celebrities are not seen sharing details about their friendships in interviews,
close scrutiny of their social media accounts and important milestones shows who their close friends are.

Sajal Ali and Zara Noor Abbas
These two divas have known each other for more than a decade.

Best Pakistani Dramas of 2019 – Every single year, our drama channels strive to provide quality entertainment to the viewers and the year 2019 was no different. There are a few key factors which need to be there in order for any drama to work and this year; we did get to enjoy some of those dramas. A great story line coupled with a brilliant direction, amazing characterization which is then backed by equally good acting are those aspects which contribute towards the success of a drama. It not always has to be a drama that has all the flavors in it, sometimes simplest of story lines and decent execution is enough to make any drama appeal to the audience.
In this list, we discuss the best Pakistani dramas of 2019 which garnered a lot of popularity and appreciation of the viewers. All these dramas had one thing or the other to offer, from complex story lines to simple ones, from stellar cast to a line up of good actors, these dramas appealed to the drama buffs and provided the quality entertainment that they were on a lookout for.
Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was hands down one of the most well-written, brilliantly acted out and superbly executed dramas of 2019. This drama set the bar so high that many of the viewers who followed it religiously, couldn’t help but compare every good drama and performance with it. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi’s story was unusual, intriguing as well as thoroughly entertaining. Imran Ashraf and Iqra Aziz’s outstanding performances coupled with some of the most unique characters made Ranjha Ranjha Kardi an exceptional show which kept the viewers glued to their television screens. There are very few dramas which leave an everlasting impression and this was definitely one of them. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi gave the viewers some of the most memorable characters played superbly by few of the best actors of the Pakistani drama industry.
One of 2019’s block buster Do Bol needs no introduction. A Sarwat Nazeer script which in simplest of manners showed the struggles of a girl who belonged to such a family which never made her feel that she belonged to them. How her father’s attitude shaped her personality and how one mistake of her landed her with such a person that she despised and then falls in love with. Do Bol’s story showed all sorts of emotions and because all of that was executed in such a simple and relatable manner, it ended up garnering immense popularity. Gaiti and Badar’s couple was well and truly loved by the audience. It was also brilliantly shown by Sarwat Nazeer that how love at times can make you selfish and how it also makes you selfless. Badar loved Gaiti selfishly and selflessly which made it quite interesting to see and explore. Do Bol is a perfect example of how simple scripts when rightly executed can turn into a blockbuster drama. Hira Mani and Affan Waheed were beyond brilliant in Do Bol and all the supporting actors did an amazing job as well.
Anaa’s story is relatively simple but it has a definite appeal. The new faces in this drama and solid performances from some of the more experienced actors make this drama interesting. Anaa isn’t the kind of play which is perfect in every way but it definitely has a lot going for it. Naimal Khawar and Usman Mukhtar’s on-screen chemistry has made the viewers fall in love with their track even though it can be really repetitive at times. Hania Aamir’s portrayal is brilliant as usual, she makes you feel for her character and keeps your interest alive. Anaa is a nice break from some of the more heavy duty dramas, it is an entertaining play which keeps you looking forward to more. This drama also explores relationships, the role ego plays in destroying relations and most importantly there are no black and white characters in this drama.

Rating: 5 Stars
Inkaar is one of the more heavy duty dramas in this list which deals with a sensitive topic and does so with great responsibility. The writer has taken inspiration from real-life incidents and has done complete justice to a difficult script. Inkaar highlights the importance of consent in a relationship and shows why some men find it impossible to respect women the way they deserve to be respected. Yumna Zaidi, Imran Ashraf, Sami Khan, Munazzah Arif and Rehan Sheikh’s performances in this drama give it the edge it needs to stand out. The makers of Inkaar have kept everything real and to the point without compromising on showing details which were important to make the viewers understand the characters and relate to the story. Inkaar is meaningful as well as engaging, definitely one of the best Pakistani dramas this year.
Khud Parast was one such drama that had an interesting story line and intense performances to its credit. Even though in the beginning it did come across as if the team was trying to show hijab as a symbol of oppression but later the story changed and it showed how imposing something on someone while committing mistakes yourself is not the way to preach someone to come to the right path. Khud Parast’s plot basically revolved around hypocrisy and the destruction it brings along in the lives of those who rely on it. Ramsha Khan and Shehzad Sheikh carried this drama on their shoulders. Asma Abbas did complete justice to the character of Bakhtawar and she made her scenes absolutely intense. The direction of Khud Parast remained consistently good and never did the director go off-track. Khud Parast definitely deserves a spot in this list because it sure was a very good drama.
Baba Jani
Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Ali Faizan Anchan
Producer: Connect Studios
Cast: Faysal Qureshi, Madiha Imam, Savera Nadeem, Saba Hameed, Faryal Mehmood, Tipu Sharif, Jinaan Hussain, Amir Qureshi, Arisha Razi, Ali Ansari, Afshan Qureshi, Shehryar Zaidi & others.
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Baba Jani was Faysal Qureshi’s first production and he deserves all the credit for choosing a mature script and not starting his production career with a typical drama. Baba Jani was an entertaining family drama which had a one-of-a-kind hero. Most of the Pakistani dramas revolve around female protagonists but this one had a different and appealing male protagonist. There were times when the editing as well as the direction wasn’t up to the mark but overall Baba Jani was a superb play with some really positive messages. Faysal Qureshi, Madiha Imam and Savera Nadeem’s performances and characters in particular were an absolute treat to watch. If this show wasn’t stretched so much then it would have been even better.
Tawaan
Writer: Rahat Jabeen
Director: Syed Wahab Jaffri
Producer: Momina Duraid Productions
Cast: Moomal Khalid, Emaad Irfani, Sajida Syed, Hina Bayat, Hina Altaf, Munawwar Saeed, Asad Siddique, Fazila Qazi, Farhaan Ali Agha & others.
Rating: 4 Stars
Tawaan was a feel good drama that revolved around the struggles of two individuals who in the most unfavourable circumstances end up together and then fall in love. Tawaan was one such drama that did show the couple facing its fair share of hardships but still overcoming everything because they believed in open communication. Even though the lead couple of Maryam and Shehroz and their chemistry was the best thing about Tawaan, the elderly couple of Shehroz’s parents and their bickering was such an enjoyable aspect of Tawaan as well. Tawaan came as a surprise where it just showed how two level-headed individuals made everything work for them by relying on patience and positivity. Moomal Khalid and Emaad Irfani played the characters of Maryam and Shehroz to perfection and their chemistry was sweet yet strong. Tawaan was such a drama that had a complex story but the manner with which it was told simply and executed brilliantly made it very special.
Suno Chanda 2
Writer: Saima Akram Chaudhry
Director: Ahson Talish
Producer: MD Productions
Cast: Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed, Raza Talish, Nabeel Zuberi, Mashal Khan, Samina Ahmed, Nadia Afghan, Sohail Sameer, Arjumand Rahim, Tara Mehmood, Adnan Shah Tipu, Sami Khan, Sabeena Farooq & others.
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Suno Chanda 2 provided the kind of entertainment it promised by giving the viewers a lot to laugh about. It stayed true to its theme and the script was engaging enough. Shadana’s character in particular kept the viewers coming back for more. Nadia Afghan’s performance was the highlight of this show and some of the new characters were interesting as well. It won’t be wrong to say that in this season Arsal and Jiya’s relationship was somewhat repetitive and it lost its previous appeal. Arjumand Rahim, Raza Talish and Sabeena Farooq’s characters and their performances were an entertaining addition to this serial. Suno Chanda 2 was the kind of mindless entertainment which had enough going for it to keep the viewers engaged right till the end.
Which was your favorite drama this year? Don’t forget to share your thoughts.
Aisha Khan is a household name she has won our hearts now and then with her amazing performances in projects like Mann Mayal, Woh Aik Pal, Tumhare Siwa, Mehndi, Mujhe Khuda Pe Yakeen Hai, Khuda Mera Bhi Hai, Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Hai, Chaar Chand, Lamha Lamha Zindagi, Kaafir, Choti Si Kahani, Maseeha, Dil Ishq, Noor e Zindagi and many more. We have also seen her on big screen in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani and Abhi Tou Mein Jawan Hoon.
Aisha Khan got married earlier this year in April and it looks like the married life is treating her well. These are the things you already knew about Aisha Khan what you probably didn’t know is that her mother in law Asma Qadeer is a member of national assembly.
Aisha Khan’s mother in law won the MNA election is this General Election after working for twenty years with PTI. The daughter in law took to her instagram and congratulated her mother in law.
“20 years of hard work,dedication and untiring determination-ALL for NAYA Pakistan! From mommy-in-law to MNA!”
Ohkay so, the writing of Mustafa Afridi, direction of Saife Hassan & production of Momina Duraid; Sang e Marmar hit out tv screens tonight. The very first episode introduced the main characters effortlessly. There definitely is a lot more that has yet to unravel, but after watching the first episode, I am definitely looking forward to the tracks of few characters especially.
The drama is set in Ghari Baraan, a small town in the the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, that is still run on the basis of patriarchal ideology. The leader of the town Baraan Khan dies & that is when his son Gulistan Khan (Noman Ijaz) informs his son Aurang Khan (Mikaal Zulfikar) to come to Ghari Baraan to attend the funeral of his grandfather. Aurang returns to his village after 2 years & going by the way things run in his village & house, it was obvious that Aurang was indifferent to everything, especially his father. Gulistan Khan is someone who holds his family values & the principals set by his father close to his heart, so much so that he has developed this rigidity in his personality in order to keep the ideology of his father alive.
Aurang has two more brothers & a sister; Saifullah Khan (Omair Rana), Gohar Khan & Sherbano (Uzma Hassan). Sherbano is married to her first cousin Torah Khan & it seems like Torah Khan has a past related to his mother that he hasn’t been able to forget & move on from. Gulistan Khan has kept his other sons closer but just because Aurang has chosen a different path in his life, both; the father & the son do not share a cordial relationship with each other. Aurang returns to his village after 2 years & the welcome that he gets shows him the place he holds in his father’s heart, because Gulistan Khan only has a pile of objections related to him, be it related to his dressing, or his detachment from his family or his perspective. Saifullah & Gohar seem to be doing exactly what their father Gulistan wants, but Aurang has other plans & those plans most certainly do not include being involved in the family matters.
Looks like Aurang has a lady love (Kubra Khan) in Ghari Baraan, who is involved in a one-sided love for him. She happens to be Aurang’s childhood friend but ever since, she has only kept him near to her heart. Saif ur Rehman (Tipu Sharif) happens to be the lady love’s brother & the moment he finds out that his sister & her friend gave a ride to Gulistan Khan’s son Aurang because he was running late for his grandfather’s funeral, he gets furious. It looks like Saif ur Rehman does not share a cordial relationship with Gulistan & in general, Gulistan & Baraan Khan have made quite a few enemies throughout their lives but then it is obvious because power & authority always come with a territory.
Sherbano is definitely not happy with her husband & just because she knows that she has a strong backing of her father & her brothers, she gives her husband a hard time, who already is aloof to the world as he is engrossed in the pain of his past, related to his mother. Torah Khan seems to be the most intriguing character & I am definitely looking forward to his track. His entry was quite interesting too where he saved the thief using logic that no one could say no to. I liked how they slightly touched the fact that the people who are known for their religious knowledge tend to change their stance according to their convenience. Mullah didn’t mind suggesting the chopping of hands as per the Islamic rulings but the moment Torah Khan gave him a little bait, he fell for it & that makes Mullah quite a controversial person because it is obvious that he will never stop any barbarism that Gulistan will instigate because he is always going to maintain his rapport with him, as he knows Gulistan’s power quite well.
I liked the bonding of Aurang with his mother (Sania Saeed). She is the only one Aurang feels for & loves endearingly because she is the only one who not only understands Aurang but supports him completely too. Aurang’s mother isn’t oblivious to the detest Aurang has towards his father, that is why she tries to reason with him & try to make him understand his father’s perspective too. Their scenes together were heart-warming & done really really well.
Finally, Sherbano got what she wanted & that was an apology that too after she degraded her husband & she being the one who initiated the fight. Sherbano wants her husband to know that she has the power & she will exploit it to her heart’s content. Gulistan Khan definitely is someone who doesn’t know how to differentiate between emotions & practicality because despite knowing what Gohar did, he made sure that Torah apologizes to Sherbano. Gulistan obviously looks down on his brother’s children because it looks like his brother did something in his life that he certainly doesn’t or didn’t approve of & I am sure it will have something to do with the choice of his life partner, that is Torah’s mother. Torah also has a sister who seems a bit too interested in her cousin Aurang, but we’ll have to see who will eventually become Aurang’s life partner.
Overall, this episode was quite interesting. Even though the setting & the theme of the drama is on the serious side & I am sure it will keep on getting dense as the episodes will progress, but I liked the precise approach of the director where in just a few scenes, he told us about the mentality that Gulistan Khan endorses. I must say I’m glad to see Hassan Noman in this drama, even though he has a side role to play but I am sure he will leave a great impact. It was a treat to watch him in Preet Na Kariyo Koi & I am sure things would be no different in this drama as well. I must say, I am glad that the drama makers are moving outside the vicinity of Karachi city & exploring more places in our dramas, it changes the mood completely & gives you something refreshing to watch. The acting of all the actors was great & I am eager to see what Noman Ijaz has in store for his fans. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. Please share your thoughts about the first episode of Sang e Marmar.
This episode opened with Haider submitting to the decision of the jirga because he could not see his Taya suffer the consequences of his actions. The conversation between Bibi jaan and her daughter and the ones between Tahira and her mother had absolutely no impact for two reasons. Bibi Jaan’s character is very confusing; I am still not sure which side of her is real!! I am all for grey characters but she goes from loving Shehla to treating her like she is a nobody in no time. After everything she said to Shehla in the previous episode, it was impossible to relate to her feelings for her “daughter”! She was shown saying to Shah Sb that she didn’t want to raise Shehla but had to because he forced her to and now tonight she told Shehla she lost a baby and when Shah Sb brought Shehla she felt like she got her baby girl back! Bibi Jaan’s character isn’t making a lot of sense right now. The actress playing Tahira does not know how to act, I am surprised that she is getting so much work! There is absolutely no variation in her acting, her dialogue delivery is flat and her expressions confusing. Same is true for the actress playing her mother.
The visit to the Mazar and all of Shehla’s conversation with the maid seemed like filler scenes – I am still wondering why they got so much screen time. All of Shehla’s efforts, her emotions and even her conversation with Haider fell flat because of Naveen Waqar’s terrible portrayal and dialogues which were not very touching. She looked good playing the bubbly Shehla but she isn’t very impressive playing the emotional fool who has no control over herself. Shah Sb’s concern for his children and his helplessness was the only part of this episode which I could relate to, rest of it did not work for me at all.
Mansoor and his father just like Bibi Jaan are showing their true colors now. Mansoor’s father does not respect his wife or women in general which is why Mansoor is the same. I am wondering now how could Shah Sb not know this about him since they are bachpan ke dost! Once again a character which was shown as a positive one has been turned into a villain all of a sudden. Mansoor is greedy and he does not respect women therefore Shehla is going to face a very tough time once she gets married to him. Emaad Irfani’s acting too was unimpressive in this episode and Irfan Khoosat is a complete misfit for playing this role. Mansoor found out in tonight’s episode that Shehla was not Shah Sb’s real daughter but that doesn’t change much because he is not marrying her, he is marrying the money and status which he will get automatically once he marries her.
So far, this drama is getting worse with every passing episode already! None of the characters or actors are standing out in any of the roles. There is zero chemistry between the actors and even the most emotional scenes fail to have an impact. The preview of the next episode promised some drama – Shehla will do something extreme after Haider tells her once again that they don’t have a future together. So far the only episode of this drama which was better out of all the 4 which have gone air was the 1st one. The previous episode was full of loop holes and this one was unimpressive to say the least.
How many of you watched this episode of SDBN? Do share your thoughts about it.
P.S. The review of Tum Kon Piya will be posted tomorrow.
Gone are the days when every other Pakistani drama would guarantee its viewers some quality entertainment. From the last few years, where we have seen some great dramas, our industry has churned out some worst dramas as well. There was a time when we hardly came across those dramas that could be labeled as worst because the priorities of our drama-makers were different where their first & foremost focus used to be on the viewer satisfaction, as they knew that they were making these dramas for the viewers & not for themselves, but sadly, that is not the case anymore because our drama industry has turned into another lucrative business & our drama-makers have turned into businessmen where in this day & age the thing they care the most about is the rating. The higher the rating, the greater the misapprehension of believing that the viewers want them to ruin the charm of the drama & also deviate the story from the main plot with which it started, that is why these days, the moment our drama-makers smell the reek of TRP’s, they decide to stretch the drama like a chewing gum, which only in the end deserves to be dumped into the trash can by the viewers, but hey who cares, as far as they are getting the ratings right?
We have two categories of worst dramas these days, in the first category, the dramas are ruined because of the ratings & in the second category, we have those dramas that do not have any substance or story to begin with, but are promoted by the makers as if they will break all the records of popularity, only for the viewers to find out that they were fooled by the drama-makers.
So, in order to pay tribute to these rating-ruined chewing gums, here is the list of the worst 5 dramas of the season & we’re sure that you will agree with the order of the list as well:
Mann Mayal
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Haseeb Hassan
Producer: Momina Duraid, Sana Shanawaz, Samina Humayun & Tariq Shah
Drama serial Mann Mayal tops this list for innumerable reasons. The number one reason why Mann Mayal tops this list is that there were huge expectations attached to this play because this was Hamza Ali Abbasi’s first play after Pyare Afzal which was a massive hit, the director of Mann Mayal Haseeb Hassan was the man behind Diyar-e-Dil which was also a very successful drama and most importantly it was promoted aggressively by the producers as the love story of 2016 which would make viewers forget all the other love stories they had ever seen on their television screens. Everyone who was associated with this play made tall claims before this drama went on air. For a few weeks the drama did make sense and it seemed promising but the second Mannu got married and Salahuddin moved to Karachi, things took a turn for the worse and then from there on things just kept on getting more illogical.
The viewers who had started watching the show continued watching it out of curiosity and also because they hoped that it will get better therefore the drama got ratings and as a result the people at the helm of affairs decided it was time to give the viewers another 5 no 7 no maybe 10 more weeks of a drama they liked so much! This is when things completely stopped making sense altogether. Characters appeared and disappeared whenever they were needed to take the story forward, there was hardly any connection between different events and even the major developments in the play happened without a climax and there was no aftermath shown either. Choppy editing and zero continuation in the story made the drama unbearable to watch.
Mann Mayal
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Haseeb Hassan
Producer: Momina Duraid, Sana Shanawaz, Samina Humayun & Tariq Shah
Yes! Mann Mayal is first and second on the list because mentioning it only once wouldn’t be “fair” with the viewers who have put up with this torture for so many weeks! Apart from a weak story-line, choppy editing and a drama which has no direction another reason why Mann Mayal is the worst drama of this season and most likely the entire year is that some very talented actors disappointed their viewers by choosing to play characters which unfortunately have become their new introduction in a bad way!
Jeena is the first example – I will think twice before tuning into any drama which has Ayesha Khan in the cast!
Mannu – it is seriously upsetting to see someone like Maya Ali, who doesn’t need to bank on characters which rely solely on becharapan and rona dhona doing exactly that! One would expect such a thing from actresses who are still struggling but why would Maya Ali settle for something like this?
Salahuddin – Hamza Ali Abbasi has been the biggest disappointment as Salahuddin. Not only is his character weak but his acting is the opposite of effortless!! Too many expressions, too much effort and very little emotions make his acting as well his character an epic fail.
The parents – the parents in this drama are a joke! Mannu’s parents in particular have played a major role in making sure that Mannu stays a bechari for the longest time. Saba Hameed, who has been part of some very impressive projects and always gives her best looks bored and disinterested in this one because of obvious reasons. Mannu’s abba’s change of heart and personality from time to time has been very difficult to digest.
On the whole Mann Mayal banks on isolated events and there is no continuation. If you try to make sense out of this show you end up feeling very upset and frustrated. It has been a perfect example of a drama which was supposed to a hit but on the contrary is a huge failure!
Zara Yaad Kar:
Writer of Season 01: Khalil ur Rehman Qamar
Writer of Season 02: Amna Nawaz Khan
Director: Amna Nawaz Khan
Producer: Amna Nawaz Khan
THE LAST VIEWER CLAPPING AT THE END OF THE DRAMA: Amna Nawaz Khan
The drama set in the 1780’s actually started looking like an insult to all the intellectuals who were watching this drama, because it was a poor attempt of the writer to show that he has got more brains than all the viewers combined. A drama that began with the story of a selfish character, making the viewers believe that she will face the consequences, turned into a Happy Halala story where now the ex-husband is on the hunt to find a temporary husband for his ex-wife. When the drama began, we all expected that KRQ-Factor, the wow-factor which drew the viewers’ attention in the first place because everyone is aware of the magic that KRQ’s scripts have created before, but as the episodes progressed, it turned into a chewing gum that was not only losing its elasticity but was losing its taste too. Just when the viewers expected the finale, season 2 of the drama began where the director, mistook herself as the writer & took over the script, hitting the last nail in the coffin because all of a sudden the main leads took the back seat & the forced side characters got the limelight & I might as well add that such side characters/actors where one is totally acting-free & the other is in literal sense breaking the bones, arms, legs of English & Urdu.
This drama could have made a bigger impact if the director had curbed the urge to turn it into a chewing gum because at this stage, this drama is beyond the level of tolerance & has completely lost its purpose. All the characters are now looking like a bunch of doormats, giving each other a tough competition as to which one is a better doormat than the other. Another strong (coughing sarcasm) point of this drama was its dialogues, that in the initial stages made quite an impact & kept the viewers hooked but as the episodes progressed & the story stopped making sense, these dialogues turned into a boring philosophy class that forced the viewers to scratch their heads in the state of confusion because where at one hand, things were as ridiculously simple as black & white, the falsafa class was getting more complicated & difficult to understand, so much so that even one of the characters in the latest episode blurted out ke philosophy jharna band karo & I say Amen to that. The slowwwwwwwwww-mo direction & reactions of all the actors serve as a very strong lullaby for all the viewers & not to forget the forlorn face of Haadi, colorless face of Aneesa, uncombed stands of Uzma, stark white face of Gaiti that gives Casper a tough competition, Gaiti’s angrez-chalay-gaye-mujhe-chorh-gaye accent & foundation-zada face of Waqar, all these things contribute in making this drama one of the worst dramas of this season!
Mor Mahal:
Writer: Surmed Sebai
Director: Surmed Sultan Khoosat
Producer: Baber Javed
This drama is a depiction of the fixation that our writers have with the saas-bahu sagas because the makers of Mor Mahal showed that no matter which century it is, or which era it is, saas-bahu tiffs are what the viewers are going to get & what the writers are going to write because they can not think of anyyyyyyyyyyyything else & they aren’t creative enough, boo hoo!!! I still remember the day when the innocent me saw the promotional posters of Mor Mahal on Facebook, that got me excited about the fact that we were going to get an amazing period drama of the recent times but as I started watching, I found out that this drama had a mother, who was fixated with her son’s millionth shab-e-uroosi & then we had a few wives who were crying buckets because they got married to a feminine husband who only looked manly from the surface but had a brain a size of a peanut & an attention span of a poodle. The promotional posters showed some battles & some manly stuff but when the actual drama began, it turned out to be an entire different story where the ladies were always in the limelight & their petty politics were getting the most coverage. The writer also tried to add in the quotient of fantasy in this drama which actually served no purpose at all because none of the situations were synced with each other. The entire focus of the creative team of Mor Mahal was on the set, costume & jewelry designing but then, how long did they expect that 2 rooms, 3 walls & 2 head-gears will keep the viewers hooked to the drama? In my opinion, the walls made of cardboard, the forest on Akhari’s head & the dim lighting also contributed a great deal in making this drama a worst drama of the season. My readers who have followed my reviews know it really well that my patience level is a bit too high but at the 14th episode of this drama, I gave up because just like Asif Jahan lost his marbles, I lost my level of patience as well. No wonder why this drama didn’t grab the attention of the viewers & didn’t earn much ratings, even though it was promoted as Star Trek of Pakistan but it turned out to be a perfect example of ‘khoda pahar, nikla chuha, wo bhi mara hua’!
Beqasoor
Writer: Sameena Ijaaz
Directed By: Syed Atif Hussain
Produced By: Big Bang Entertainment
The OST of Beqasoor still haunts me – mein beqasoor – yes that is exactly how all the viewers who watched this drama must have felt after watching a few episodes of the show. The main idea of the play was done-to-death – two sisters who are completely opposite to each other, one the ultimate bechari and the other one had all the characteristics of a materialistic and selfish girl! The fact that the bechari Hira was far more annoying than the chalak Sehr made you wonder if the writer and the director had managed to achieve their objective! The negative characters in the play kept your interest alive in the early episodes and the other characters remained predictable and boring throughout the drama.
Black and white characters, twisted turns in the story, Saboor Ali and Samina Peerzada’s never-ending rona dhona, a story which was stretched even though it lacked substance and watching amazing actors like Sajid Hassan and Samina Peerzada settle for such a mediocre script was a huge disappointment. Like all other plays which show women suffer to the extreme – from getting married to a man old enough to be her dad to getting poisoned by her mom, Hira went through it all and more – this drama got the ratings which producers want more than anything else and therefore it ended only after losing all its “fans”!
The viewers expect better from Pakistani writers, directors and producers. They also want the actors they love so much and who are clearly very talented to choose their projects after giving it a lot of thought otherwise people will lose faith in them and will be disappointed as a result of their wrong choices. The good thing is that all the dramas in this list do not define our drama industry, we are still making great dramas and hope that there will be a time when our drama makers stop compromising on quality.
Are there any other dramas which you would like to add to this list? Feel free to share your thoughts.
Zahra Mirza & Fatima Awan
Ohkay so, despite being teensy tiny bit slow, this episode was amazing & power-packed. I love watching this drama & I am so glad that even though so many episodes have gone on-air it is still going strong. I like how situations & all the characters are evolving & every episode brings a new chapter with it.
Haider has pretty much given up on his dream of becoming a politician & because he is feeling burdened by the household expenses, he is forcing himself to do a regular job that will guarantee some fixed income with which he will be able to take care of his family, but little did he know that just when he will stop thinking about everything, Asfand Sultan will appear in his life & ask him to join his party once again. It is amazing how Mishi has not once forced Haider to go out of the way to fend for his responsibilities because she knows that he is trying really hard. If Mishi had wanted, she could’ve easily told Haider to settle for a job but in stead, she chose to tell him to chase his dreams as she knows that politics is something that Haider is most passionate about. I am glad that they introduced this track in Haider’s life once again because things will become even more interesting.
Mishi chose to contact Qadeer because she not only had to talk about Saba but she also wanted to know about his final answer in regards to Humna too. I think it was a wise decision that Mishi made because she know that Saba’s parents would never believe what she will say & Saba will easily persuade them into believing that Mishi was lying, so she knew that if there was one person who’d actually understand the entire situation, it was Qadeer. However, I feel Mishi should have informed Haider about it too, not that it would’ve made much difference because Haider trusts her completely but it wouldn’t have hurt to have Haider’s back in this matter because one way or the other, Haider is linked to this situation because his part of the amount is missing as well.
Haider has made such a good impact on Sara in such a short span of time that even though she still feels uncomfortable at the idea of Mishi living with Haider in his humble abode, she has accepted their relationship. Sara has learned the truth that Haider might not be financially stable, but he knows how to protect Mishi & most importantly, he knows how to make her happy. Sara has seen how determined Haider is & she has also seen how Mishi is at a happy place in this relationship, so she can’t really complain much & that is why she was convinced to go to meet Mishi & Haider’s family with a wedding gift. I am glad that they didn’t cover that scene because they have shown enough of her for us to imagine what she must’ve said & how she must’ve reacted, but it was good to see Sara giving a nod of approval to Mishi & respecting her choices.
I must say, the character that has evolved into a very respectful personality is that of Khadija. It was so nice to see her complimenting Mishi over her smallest of efforts. Also, the way Khadija didn’t pay much heed to what Sara said also goes to show that she isn’t someone who will make a fuss about the facts that she herself is aware of. Khadija isn’t oblivious of the fact that Mishi comes from a very different background, that is why she wasn’t surprised at how Sara reacted & even told Mishi to not worry much about what she must be feeling or thinking. Also, I think it was quite sweet of Khadija when she refused to take the money from Mishi, saying that Haider gave that money to Mishi for her personal use. These are quite a few things that might not matter but actually do stand out in this drama because we rarely get to see such characters, such mothers in law, such husbands, such wives & such daughters in law in our dramas who deal with the situations wisely, who believe in respecting each other, who believe in letting go of the bitter stuff & who are not always on a hunt to makes the matters worse.
I loved loved loved Haider & Mishi’s scenes the most. The way they bicker, the way they taunt each other, the way they compliment each other, it is actually quite refreshing to see a husband & wife behaving like a ‘normal’ couple in the toughest of circumstances, because it shows that the power of love is so strong that they are ready to deal with anything & everything with a smile on their face. Mishi has made her place in Haider’s heart & his home too & Haider has done the same thing because the changes in Sara’s attitude are pretty explanatory. Even though in the initial stages of their marriage, it looked like Haider was quite demanding & believed in having things his way, but as their story progressed, Haider started reciprocating everything that Mishi was doing for him & his family & that is why, he made sure to form cordial terms with Mishi’s mother, as he could see that Sara’s behavior affected Mishi a lot.
So finally, Haider accepted Asfand’s offer because Mishi gave him the validation & push that he needed, but first Haider made sure to let him know that he was pretty much settled with his wife & he won’t be bothered if Asfand will once again have any objections over his marriage. It is good that Asfand doesn’t seem much concerned about Haider’s personal life & only wants his expertise in the field of politics. Mishi finally had a conversation with Qadeer, but she was shocked to know that Qadeer has moved on. I hope now when Humna will get to know this, she will kiss the idea of getting married to him good-bye because she deserves someone better than him for sure. Also, Sikandar got an answer from Wahab that he most certainly wasn’t expecting. I am still not sure if Wahab did this to get back at Haider or he was genuinely interested in Sikandar’s shop, I hope they do uncover the reason behind Wahab’s move as well.
Overall, this episode was amazing & I am so glad we’re getting to see a couple of such individuals who not only believe in supporting each other, but also believe in empowering each other with their validation, with their love & with their trust too. It was for the first time when Mishi also confessed her love for Haider & it was absolutely sweet. All the questions about ‘kangan’ were so filmy & done really well, I can’t thank the writer enough for giving us a couple that behaves normally because this is something that we never get to see in our dramas. The acting of all the actors & the direction of this drama has remained top-notch so far & I am so glad that even at this stage of the drama, the ending of each & every episode leaves us asking for more. Thank you so much team Besharam for giving us an incredibly amazing drama. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Besharam.
Ohkay so, when the smoke erupting from the green tea mug seems more interesting, when Shaan’s Korma Masala advertisement seems more enticing, when the placement of keys on your keyboard seems to catch your attention more than what’s on TV & when the past hour turns out to be the longest & most boring hour of your life, then you know for sure that the drama that you’re tuned to has turned into a disaster.
I’ll get straight to the point. I thought this drama was about the story of Uzma, Mahnoor & Haadi’s characters but I am not sure when did the writer of the season 2 of Zara Yaad kar get this idea that people will be happy to see the side characters taking the lead while pushing the main leads in the background? This episode was about Gaiti & Anoushay & what for, I am still confused. Chalo yan to unke characters gripping hote to bhi baat thi, but their characters are sticking out like sore thumb in the drama & the coverage that they are getting is totally unjustified & is only wasting the time of the viewers!!!
I think since Haadi is a brainless bug, I will suggest him to put an ad on OLX.com.pk for a temporary husband that he is in search of for Mahnoor, I am sure the process will be quicker that way, he will find the guy & we will be free from this torture named Zara Yaad Kar.
Oh well, seems like Uzma turned a blind eye from Fahad because she was too comfortable being a doormat to Haadi. Everyone in this drama is a doormat to one another. Haadi is a doormat to Mahnoor, Mahnoor was a doormat to Waqar, Uzma is a doormat to Haadi, Anoushay is a doormat to Waqar & even Gaiti was a doormat to Waqar too. So many doormats gathered at one place, how cool is that? Well, I had a good laugh at the scene where Mahnoor banged a door on Haadi’s face treating him like a doormat & I knew, I just knew it that now he will scurry like a mouse to Uzma’s home & she will not only listen to his gibberish, but will serve him tea & food too & this is exactly what happened which made me laugh out loud!!! Talk about everyone being brainless & spineless bug in this drama!!! Is this why Haadi told Uzma to cancel her wedding? Only to have her around & give him advises whenever he showed up at her doorstep like a sore loser? My blood actually boiled when I saw Haadi having a normal conversation with Mahnoor & smiling at the thought of her, after planting a seed in Uzma’s mind that she was just compromising in the name of marriage so she should rethink her decision. Haadi displayed a lot of ‘wisdom’ in analyzing Uzma’s situation, so when is he going to put his wisdom to good use in the matters concerning his own pathetic life? Also, didn’t Uzma think that she was ready to leave a guy like Fahad for a loser like Haadi, who will vanish from her life once Mahnoor will be done with Halala & get married to him again? Yeah, all this while I thought at least Uzma had some brains, but oh well!
The scene where Anoushay barged into Haadi’s room inquiring about Waqar was ridiculous & insane. Like she couldn’t get a hold of her loser two-timer boyfriend & there she was giving a piece of her mind to Haadi but yes, at least there was one thing that she said that made sense & that was ‘ye philosophy jharna band karo’, phew, at least there’s someone who thinks the same about this entire falsafa that has been happening in this drama. Waqar is another loser on the loose. I am amazed that after becoming a politician, Gaiti had the time to track Waqar down & call him. I am amazed that these episodes are written by the director herself who happens to be a female, because she left no stone unturned in making all the female characters of this drama look like a bunch of desperadoes who only dream of getting married by hook or by crook, without even bothering if the guy they are drooling over is worth it or not!!!
Oh well, the playful & pleasant music in the background of Haadi & Mahnoor’s scenes was cringe-worthy. Like the director here is showing us a love affair of ex-husband & wife & she is showing us their omlette ka nashta made by Mahnoor ke haath & is still expecting us to accept everything wholeheartedly, like seriously. Seems like even Aneesa has become a part of this adventure too, where she is eager to see her daughter commit Halala & then she covers it using her motherly instincts as an excuse, oh PHULEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!! Get over with this crap already as this drama is back to square 1 & we’re stuck in a rut.
Well, I am having anxiety just by thinking that I’ll have to tune to this drama next week that too when the preview didn’t look like that it will be the last episode. Can any angel-like-human tell me when this torture is ending because I am done with this drama & I don’t have any patience left. I must say, that after watching Shanakht, I never had imagined that Amna Nawaz Khan will become one of those drama-makers who ruin the drama for the sake of ratings & I never thought that just like Samira Fazal’s projects, I’ll have to raise my guard in regards to her projects too. I will be screening her dramas from now on because I don’t think they’re worth my time! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this pathetic episode of Zara Yaad Kar!!!
All the flashback scenes in tonight’s episode reminded me of the good old days when I believed that this drama had something grand to offer! It also reminded me of the torture this drama has put all of us through! The only thing I am looking forward to right now is an ending to this torture. Mannu’s family members welcomed her like Columbus and Ibn-e-Batutta’s families must have welcomed them when they came back from their travels. The viewers were shown the flashback scenes covering Mannu and Salahuddin like we had already forgotten about their love story.
All of Mannu’s troubles came to an end in this episode and Abba took a u-turn! After the surgery he actually had a change of heart. After torturing us for months with her becharapan Mannu is a now a more enlightened individual who knows exactly what she wants from life – yes she had a change of hear too! If the moral of the story was that girls should not see marriage as the ultimate goal than it was definitely not presented in the best way. If it was this easy for Mannu to go back to her parents’ house and live a life she wanted to live then why was Abba’s condition used as an excuse to make Mannu stay in Salahuddin’s house for the longest time? The fact is that this drama would have had a decent ending on this note if Mannu’s mother did not pressurize her to stay in Salahuddin’s house, if Mannu wasn’t turned into the ultimate bechari and if Jeena wasn’t part of this grand plan. That way Mann Mayal could have ended at episode 16.
What exactly was Jeena’s role in this story? Apart from giving Salahuddin zehr and then drinking it herself, she did not add anything to the story. She got plenty of screen time, more than Mannu and Salahuddin’s families combined together and now that she is dead I am wondering why did she get so much attention? Jeena’s character was the most unnecessary character in the show. Unless there are actually viewers out there who felt something for her.
Even in this second last episode things moved forward at a snail’s pace. I don’t want to tune into another show in which Maya Ali sheds a single tear! Maya Ali has cried so much in this drama. It is sad to see someone who is capable of so much more being wasted in a role which has absolutely nothing to offer. Salahuddin kept on asking everyone why Mannu left, what happened to picking up the phone and dialing her number to ask her why she left? Also, Mannu’s call to Salahuddin’s parents and the way he was taken away to the operation theatre was meant to mislead the viewers into thinking that he might have died. Which doctor gives a patient anesthesia before taking him to the operation theatre? That was brand new!
Oh well! The story has still not ended and once Salahuddin is fit to travel he will go to Mannu’s house with a rishta.
How many of you watched this episode and how many of you are going to celebrate when this drama ends?
The drama is back on track with Zebu playing a bigger role in the picture. So far we watched Zebu play a victim and not a survivor but in this episode she chose to do what needed to be done in order to put the person who violated her behind bars. This is the first time that we are watching such a case go to trial in a drama and in the end the rapist will get the punishment he deserves through proper channel. We have seen dramas in which rapists are shot in the end or they lose their senses but we have never seen a rapist go to trial. Although the past few episodes were somewhat disappointing because Zebu’s character had been relegated to the background but they laid the foundation for everything we saw in tonight’s episode. These latest developments will shock Imtiaz because all of this was not part of his grand plan! This episode opened with Arsh distancing himself from Meeran emotionally. He is still as dedicated to this case as he was before but after Meeran’s response to his proposal in the previous episode he is no longer willing to be “just friends” with Meeran either. Arsh’s reaction was realistic but it is still difficult to digest the fact that in all these years both of these individuals have not moved on. Meeran finally tells Arsh the truth and that is when he makes a very important decision – Zebu is the only one who should decide whether she should come out with the truth or not. This was the decision which brought Zebu back in the picture. Zebu is desperate to get her mother out of jail therefore she is willing to take this difficult step. This episode also focused on the prerequisites for taking such a case to the court. These discussions were loud and clear which was a bold yet an important step to raise awareness about the issue. The scenes in the court showed how easy it was for Imtiaz to win this case if Zebu did not decide to share the truth in the court. The viewers however were not shown why Sajida decided to plead not guilty because so far she had been saying that she would confess to the crime. Was it because of Imtiaz’s presence in the court? She did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he had already won the case. All the details of the case are being covered in these last few episodes therefore the pace of the drama has slowed down considerably. This episode was educational and Zebu’s growth from a victim to a survivor was a positive development but it wasn’t very entertaining. The drama sends out a very important message therefore it is there to serve a bigger purpose. Farhan Saeed has proven himself as a versatile actor in this play and Ahsan Khan has won people over with his effortless portrayal of Imtiaz. Farhat Ishtiaq’s take on the story of a rape victim is definitely very different and better from many other dramas which we have seen recently that dealt with the same subject. The story was stretched in the previous few episodes therefore the drama isn’t as entertaining as it was before but no one can deny its educational value. The director Mohammad Ehteshamuddin has extracted the best performances from all the actors involved and this episode was filled with flawless performances mostly because Ins-e-Yazdan did not make an appearance. Hina Altaf’s acting was okay in tonight’s episode, she did whatever was expected from her but she doesn’t add that little something which could have made this role special. The preview of the next episode suggested that it is not going to be the final episode and the focus will be entirely on the hearings of Sajida’s case. Zebu’s presence in the court and her side of the story will change everything. Imtiaz will lose the edge he has right now and it is then that the judge who right now seems to be siding with him will change his approach. The real question is whether Sajida’s will change her approach too or not! How many of you watched this latest episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

Abdul Basit is a famous Pakistani television actor known for his hit PTV dramas, including long plays like Flight and Diya Jalaey Rakhna Hai. His notable TV series include Danish, Saarang, Band Gali, Green Card, Guest House, and others. The actor was admired for his expressive eyes, facial expressions, and charming personality, which quickly made him a popular face on television. However, he left acting at the peak of his career and never looked back. Abdul Basit is now active on YouTube, where he often posts informative videos and old TV drama clips.
Recently, the bureaucrat and former actor appeared on Wasi Shah’s famous show Zabardast. During the show, he revealed a personal reason for leaving acting.
Abdul Basit said, “I am a strong advocate of women’s empowerment. The biggest example of this is that I left the drama industry because of my wife. I worked in dramas for sixteen years but quit after my wife asked me for it. She said, ‘When you married me, you were not a drama artist. I married a simple man, a bureaucrat who was living his life in a disciplined way. Now you have started acting, you remain busy in the office, and after that, you go to the shooting and come home late at night, which is not right.’ I was an amateur, part-time actor, and I took her words seriously. Since I also had a job, I chose not to break my home and decided to leave my passion and hobby. I was even offered a film, Shehzada, by the makers of Armaan, but I didn’t accept it.” Here is the link to the video:
India is Pakistan’s neighboring country, sharing a similar culture and language. The people of both countries, despite their differences, watch each other’s movies and dramas because of the same language. The Pakistani industry is known for producing excellent dramas, while India is famous for making great films and reality shows. Along with creating mega-productions, the Indian industry is also known for copying content from internationally famous movies, dramas, songs, and videos. Bollywood has so far copied countless song compositions, lyrics, film stories, and Pakistani and other nations’ dramas. They have copied countless Pakistani songs, including Munni Badnam Hui, Bheega Bheega December, Nach Punjab, Bol Kaffara, Hawa Hawa, Disco Deewane, and many others.
Recently, Bollywood released a new song called Danger, which is a blatant copy of the famous Pakistani OST od drama series Mannat Murad. The song Danger copies Laal Suit, which was released a year ago. Laal Suit is a special wedding OST of Mannat Murad, featuring the dances of celebrities like Iqra Aziz, Talha Chahour, and Rabia Kulsoom. Iqra wore a deep red anarkali style silk suit.
Bollywood’s newly released copied song Danger is strikingly similar to Laal Suit. It carries the same tune and lyrics, saying: “Laal color ki saree mein tu danger lagti hai.” The song features Jhanvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra’s dance moves, with Jhanvi also wearing a deep red silk saree.
Pakistani fans are quite angry at Bollywood’s cheap habit of copying content without giving credits. Fans are trolling the Indian media industry for copying all Pakistani songs. One wrote, “Copy wood is always busy copying Pakistani content”. Another wrote, “Is there anything original in Bollywood?” One wrote, “It’s not Bollywood it’s a Chapa factory.”.One said, “They can’t even make music and fly planes”. Read the comments here:
Do Kinaray starring Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan has hooked the audience since the very first episode. The show has a toxic heroine which is a first. People love Dureshehwar’s antics while at the same time calling her out for all her schemes. Momina Iqbal has nailed the character making this show one of the most watched on television.
The latest twist in Do Kinaray had seriously divided fans. We saw Dureshehwar running when Shaheer tried to kill her. She was able to survive and finally she was able to get a phone, and called Waleed, as she had memorized his number only. Waleed did not even take a minute before he came to rescue Dureshehwar from her ordeal with her brother Taimoor. She saw her with envy in her eyes as he rescued her.
Here is the dramatic rescue mission:
Fans are now divided into two camps. One camp wants them back together. One user wrote, “They should patch up. Waleed and Dure look good together.” Another added, “Mawra looks like a maasi. Marry Dure again. You can keep two wives.” While the other camp is hating on Waleed for rescuing Dureshehwar.” One said, “Waleed loves Dure’s looks and can’t get over her.” Another said, “He is a two-faced hypocrite. He never loved Mawra.” A viewer added, “He needs to care more for his family and less for Dure.” This is what happened after the latest episode of Do Kinaray:
Subject focus makes a video interesting and professional. In its absence, the audience gets bored easily. The editing is smooth and makes the story coherent even in the dynamic shots. This balance is now attainable with the aid of modern AI tools. An AI video editor free such as Pippit uses auto-frame and speed control to create high-quality, professional-looking content. Pippit is an all-in-one tool that provides you with subject tracking abilities, speed control, and polished editing all in one application.
The Importance of Subject Focus in Editing
Subject focus provides stability in the center of attention, on what or whom is of importance. The video appears distracting and rough when attention is moved involuntarily. It is not easy to track the subjects manually in long videos. People or active backgrounds tend to distract. That is why auto-frame technology turns into an intelligent solution. It follows the subject automatically and keeps the viewers interested in the video. Pippit combines this technology with accuracy thus, hours of manual corrections are not required.
Combining Auto-Frame with Speed Control
Subject tracking by itself increases readability, though combining it with speed manipulation can be used to make stories even more powerful. A video speed changer enables you to pace along with keeping the subject in the center. You are able to skip on the scenes without losing the track on the important topic. This is ideal with time-lapses or walkthroughs. Slow-motion is also effective when used together with accurate tracking. Nothing is left out of the picture, be it facial expressions or product demonstrations. Action shots sometimes cut a little jagged, yet fluidity exists in auto-framing. Using Pippit, you attain clarity and rhythm in your content.
Auto-Frame at Work
Auto-frame is tangibly different in practice. As an illustration, tutorial video tends to have continuous movement. The feature keeps the topic centered whether you are teaching fitness routines or step by step tasks. The camera also helps the product demo creators because the camera automatically focuses on the item being demonstrated. Travel vlogs no longer lose attention because of busy backgrounds or dense surroundings. Your content is always given a professional edge without the need to keep making manual adjustments because the subject remains prominent.
Perfect Subject-Focused Videos Editing Tips
Best results with auto-frame plus stabilization. This eradicates jittery movement, particularly when accelerating material. You may also want to do speed changes more fluidly to create a more active story. Rather than sudden jumps, paces are gradual, and viewers are entertained. Text overlays are useful, but they need to be positioned well. Make sure they add to the subject and not to distract it. Pippit offers the tools to align your text, stay focused, and your message clear. Such minor adjustments enhance the overall quality of your video.
Creative Potential with Pippit
Pippit does not simply change speed or follow subjects. It also acts as a video ad generator that enables companies create attention-grabbing advert materials within a short time. Through this, you can convert normal clips to professional advertisements without outsourcing. The interface combines AI background editing, writing, and multilanguage. Brands can generate content that targets international markets in shorter periods. Pippit offers a seamless editing process regardless of whether you are presenting a new product or doing social campaigns. This versatility is why it is such a potent means of content creators that want to scale content.
Speed and Focus Professional Storytelling
The feeling and flow of the storytelling are natural and smooth, which makes content outstanding. Both are attained by Pippit integrating auto-frame and speed control. There are fast moments to generate energy and slow moments to emphasize important details. Subject focus is what glues it all together, makes viewers follow your story. You do not need to spend time worrying about technical difficulties; you will have more time to be creative. Regardless of what you are creating, tutorials, marketing videos, lifestyle vlogs, the message remains the same. In this way, all the projects appear professional and polished.
Steps to Auto-Frame for Perfect Subject Focus
Step 1: Start with Focused Footage Open Pippit and go to the “video speed changer.” Sign in, click “Video generator” in the menu, then select “Video editor.” Use “Click to upload” to add your video, or drag it from your desktop. This gives you full control from the start.
Step 2: Control Speed with Auto-Frame Precision Select your video on the timeline and click “Speed” in the right panel. Use the “Normal” slider to refine pacing or the “Curve” tab for natural transitions. Switch on “Smooth slow-mo” or “Pitch” for enhanced playback while relying on auto-frame to keep subjects sharp.
Step 3: Export with Flawless Focus Click “Export” in the corner once your edit is complete. Choose “Publish” to upload online or “Download” to save it. Adjust frame rate, resolution, and format before clicking “Export.” Your subject will stay perfectly framed and your video speed just right.
Conclusion
The combination of the perfect subject focus and speed control makes the content interesting and professional. Auto-frame eliminates the challenge of manual tracking, whereas speed changes add to the narrative. Pippit unites all these capabilities into a single platform and provides you with a trusted solution to quality editing. It assists you to focus on creativity by making technicalities simple. Your videos remain clear, smooth, and efficient on any platform.
Rajab Butt and Ducky Bhai are both top YouTubers of Pakistan. They were both fast friends and they used to appear in each other’s videos and show up to each other’s family events not too long ago. A project that they started together put them at odds. Ducky said something about Rajab and their mutual friend Nadeem Nani Wala and they have not been speaking to each other since.
Ducky Bhai has been in legal trouble recently as he was arrested by law enforcement agencies in a betting app case. He has been on a physical remand while an investigation is taking place against him. The YouTuber is facing isolation largely by his friends and now his ex-friend Rajab Butt has reacted to this arrest.
Rajab Butt said that he understands why Ducky Bhai was picked up but law should be the same for everyone. We have all seen how all the players in PSL had jerseys with a logo of a betting app while ads were being run on national television. Why are the agencies not going after the big fish. He added that hundreds of influencers may have endorsed these apps and agencies are targeting them only as they are easy to arrest. He also wished Ducky and his family well who are going through these troubles.

Here is what she shared:
Atiqa Odho is not happy with Main Manto Nahi Hoon. Atiqa is an actress and now a critic who gives her comments and opinions on different drama projects. She is also watching Manto and now she has something that she does not agree with. She was savage with her commentary and did not hold back at all.
Atiqa Odho said that Main Manto Nahi Hoon is becoming foolish now. Why are they showing perfectly capable teachers going gaga over Mehmal. Every teacher keeps asking if Mehmal has come, what is she doing. There is no way teachers are this interested in their students’ lives. She added Mehmal is a very normal girl who is casually existing. Why are her teachers obsessed with her.
Atiqa Odho said she was very much excited about Main Manto Nahi Hoon in the first 2 episodes but she is not happy anymore. She was just impressed with Azaan Sami Khan, Asif Raza Mir and Babar Ali’s performances. She cannot understand how teachers can become so casual with their students and so invested in their problems. She was happy with the cinematic feel at first but she cannot take it anymore. This is what she had to say:
People are agreeing with Atiqa odho on this. One user wrote, “Such teachers are suspended in the UK if they are in contact with students.” Another added, “So true. Such a foolish drama.” Here is what went down:
Sher is a drama starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan in the lead.

She is firmly standing by her brother and showed her husband a mirror.

Resham said, “I watched a video on social media in which a theatre actor was spewing venom against Bushra Ansari. Her words and accent were so obnoxious that I felt embarrassed that an artist from my city Lahore was degrading a legend like Bushra Ansari, who has always made Pakistan proud through her work. She is such a great person who always speaks with wisdom. I was ashamed to hear it. Bushra Ansari ji, I apologize for her words. Unfortunately, it has become a habit of some Lahore-based actors to target big artists just for attention. Previously, Firdous Jamal targeted Humayun Saeed. To criticize Bushra Ansari, you first need to reach her level. I am deeply saddened by her words against such a legendary actor.”
Resham is getting huge praise for her kind words and apology. Many said that Resham has slapped Rubi Anam through her words. Imran Abbas also shared clapping emoji for Resham.

The male actor was also different, but finally, it came back to me and Mohib. , Sanam also said to me, “You were destined to do this role that’s why it kept coming back to you.” Also, if they considered me for it after Sanam, then it’s a big thing because Sanam is a great person and a brilliant actor”.

Dayan and Do Kinaray are two dramas that have captured the audience. They have garnered big numbers on YouTube views and TRP charts. Both the shows have one thing in common, the child star. The child star is an important character in both dramas. Hunain in Dayan is the key to the whole plot happening in the first place while Dua in Do Kinaray was the reason Dureshehwar could target Waleed again after their divorce.
The child star is a girl and her name is Hoor Shahid. Her mother has shared some sweet pictures with her daughter as well as BTS clips from some of the sets where Hoor Shahid has worked. The little girl was loved by her co-stars in both dramas. Momina Iqbal who hates baby Dua as Dureshehwar was seen loving up on baby Hoor in the BTS. Check out some clicks of Hoor with her mom as well as her BTS videos:
Sher is a drama airing on ARY Digital. The show is about the rivalry between two families and how it has encompassed three generations. Meanwhile how money makes your own family turn against you is one of the biggest themes of the show. Sherzaman has been back after the torture by his own family members. Dr Fajar, from his enemy family helped him through it all and now he wants to not only thank her but also marry her. He has fallen in love with her.
Sher comes to seek Fajar’s hand in marriage from her family but Fajar’s father Shujaat Malik has thrown his daughter at him as he has no trust in her. Shujaat Malik has been played by Nabeel Zafar and the audience is not convinced by his performance. Many people are seeing glimpses of Bulbulay’s Nabeel in him and do not find him to be convincing in the character.
Here is what went down:
Fans are not happy with Nabeel’s performance in Sher. One user said, “Nabeel still looks like a comedian.” Another added, “He still looks like Bulbulay’s Nabeel.” One said, “They should have cast Nauman Masood in this role.” This is the reaction:
Aima Baig is one of the most famous celebrities of Pakistan. She is known for her confidence, voice quality and how she has taken her career to the peak over the years. She has just entered a new phase in her life as she got married to Rastah CEO Zain Ahmed. Their marriage news broke the internet when they tied the knot in Canada. The duo shared some beautiful pictures with Aima’s fans and they have been spending some quality time together.
Aima Baig was out on a date night with her husband Zain Ahmed. She was wearing a strapless dress while Zain was also clad in a casual outfit. She shared a picture from the intimate dinner with her fans. The Internet, however, was not kind as they picked on her picture.
Aima Baig’s latest click was trolled. Once again bodyshaming comments started coming in. One user wrote, “She needs IV and a large Dew.” Another added, “She looks like a skeleton.” One pointed out, “Her clothes are becoming lesser as she earns more money.” This has been the reaction:
Feroze Khan is one of the most followed celebrities in Pakistan. He has given countless hits in his career. His personal life has always been a part of the news including his love affairs and marriages. His first marriage ended up in a divorce which was way too public. He is now happily married to Dr Zainab Feroze and they are often spotted together.
Feroze Khan’s wife Zainab is a psychologist and she often speaks about mental health issues as a part of her career. She shared her thoughts on domestic violence and how it can never be a sign of love. This came after a clip of Dr Nabeeha Ali Khan justifying DV went viral on social media.
Dr Zainab wrote a note and explained how violence is never a sign of love and a woman should never give up her dignity. This was her note and her thoughts:
The internet was fast enough to dig the past. One user said, “First preach it to your husband.” Another added, “You married your patient and violated your oath.” One said, “Is this essay posted to clean your husband’s image.” This is how people are reacting:
Pakistani dramas are loved globally. In addition to good and relatable storylines, suitable editing, and direction, the cast also plays an important role in any show’s success. Sometimes, a good cast combination can take a good show to greatness, both in the minds of fans and on TRP charts.
As soon as a big drama is announced, fans want to know the cast of the show. Having big and trending names helps any drama grab more eyeballs. Lately, however, this is not working with fans. Some excellent casting choices were wasted on average to below-average scripts. The biggest names as leads could not save these mid-scripts, and they suffered a decline in both ratings and views.
Here is a list of dramas that disappointed fans despite having a great star cast:
Agar Tum Saath Ho
Agar Tum Saath Ho is a Pakistani drama that aired on Hum TV in the prime time slot. The show came at the tail of Sanam Teri Kasam becoming a big hit on its re-release. Mawra Hocane was all over the news for her Bollywood success, and she also got married to the love of her life, Ameer Gilani. Both Mawra and Ameer were leading Agar Tum Saath Ho alongside Zaviyar Naumna Ijaz. The show still turned out to be a major flop as the story was nonsensical, and the drama could not win over the audience. Thus, even having a real-life trending couple could not save a show with a bad script.
Dil Wali Gali Mein
Dil Wali Gali Mein is another Pakistani drama that was highly anticipated. The show had Kashif Nisar in the director’s chair while Sajal Aly and Hamza Sohail were leading the show. They had just given a hit in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, and they were coming back for an Eid show. The drama had many themes that were important and well-executed, but fans could not relate to it. It did average and did not reach the heights it was expected to reach.
Ek Jhooti Kahani
Ek Jhooti Kahani is a new Pakistani drama that premiered on Hum TV, featuring the fresh pairing of Mohib Mirza and Zara Noor Abbas. Zara previously captured the audience’s attention in Standup Girl, while Mohib impressed viewers with his performance as Hasan in Jafaa. However, despite its lighthearted and comedic tone, Ek Jhooti Kahani has not resonated with the audience, and many viewers feel it falls flat.

Another Pakistani drama that aired on Hum TV was Hijr. The show starred Imran Abbas, who is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the country. He was paired with Hina Altaf, a talented performer with a strong following. Despite having a good cast and airing on one of the top three channels, the drama struggled to capture the audience’s attention.
Humraaz
Humraaz is a Pakistani drama that was anticipated from the moment its cast was announced. The drama boasts names like Ayeza Khan, Feroze Khan, and Zahid Ahmed in the lead cast. Fans were awaiting the drama’s arrival, but it ended up becoming a disaster as soon as it was released. It is once again a testament to how no drama without a good script will work, even if you cast the top stars of the country.
Mehshar
Mehshar is a Pakistani drama featuring a large star cast, including the popular actors Imran Abbas and Neelam Muneer. The two have collaborated successfully in the past, but their pairing in Mehshar did not resonate with viewers. Despite airing on Geo TV, the drama failed to achieve the success that was anticipated. Neelam Muneer was trending at the time due to her recent marriage, but even that buzz couldn’t salvage the drama’s performance.
Meri Tanhai
Kubra Khan as the leading lady, Azaan Sam Khan opposite her as a new face, a drama shot in London, what could go wrong? But things still did not work out for this experimental Pakistani drama on Hum TV. The show completely failed to engage the audience and went unnoticed.
Raaja Rani
Raaja Rani is a Pakistani drama starring Faysal Quraishi and Hina Afridi. The show features a cinematic storyline and has sparked controversy over the age difference between the lead characters, as well as Faysal Quraishi’s impressive acting skills. On paper, everything seemed to be in place for Raaja Rani to become a blockbuster hit. However, it ultimately performed at an average level. Fans struggled to connect with the story, which contributed to its status as just another average show.
Shirin Farhad
Hum TV experimented with the story of old Lollywood, featuring Farhan Saeed and Kinza Hashmi in lead roles. The drama generated anticipation due to Farhan Saeed’s reputation as the King of Romance. While the supporting cast was strong, the script occasionally lacked coherence. Despite the presence of big stars, Shirin Farhad went largely unnoticed and failed to win over the audience.
Sunn Mere Dil
Sunn Mere Dil was a Pakistani drama that aired on Geo TV. The show featured prominent actors such as Wahaj Ali and Maya Ali in leading roles. The supporting cast included well-known performers like Hira Mani, Usama Khan, Amar Khan, and Saba Hameed. However, the writing of the story and the performances of the actors were considered nonsensical, leading to significant backlash. As a result, the drama failed to meet the expectations that viewers had for a collaboration between Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and Haseeb Hassan.

Dayan is a hit Pakistani prime-time drama serial which airs on Geo TV, every Monday and Tuesday. The drama is written by Fatima Faizan and Amber Azhar and directed by Siraj Ul Haq, known for his drama serial Tere Bin. Dayan is produced by 7th Sky Entertainment. The cast includes Ahsan Khan, Hira Mani, Mehwish Hayat, Osama Tahir, Shamil Khan, Sohail Sameer, Zainab Qayyum, Afsheen Hayat, Nayyar Ejaz, and Nida Mumtaz. The story of Dayan revolves around Nihal’s revenge from Zawaar’s family as Misha.
So far, 52 episodes of Dayan have aired, and the drama is quickly heading toward its conclusion. The current storyline revolves around intense revenge sequences. Nihal, as Misha, has successfully executed all her plans, killing Zakia, Javed, and Amir, and is now targeting Shabab and Fouzia. Zawar Shah is completely trapped in Misha’s love and is soon set to marry her, while Misha also prepares to take revenge from the doctor’s enemy.
Dayan’s revenge track is receiving mixed reactions. Many fans are enjoying Misha’s intense revenge plot, with one saying, “I’m loving Misha’s revenge—it’s gripping and keeps us hooked. Mehwish is playing Dayan brilliantly.” However, not everyone agrees. One viewer commented, “The entire family is being killed by Nihal in revenge, which is unfair. She knew she entered this house under a contract.” Some believe Misha should first take revenge on her toxic parents, who pushed her into these terrible circumstances. Others sympathize with Shabab, seeing her as innocent and unfairly targeted. Many viewers are eager for the drama to end soon, with one even writing, “I will distribute sweets when this drama ends.” Read the comments:

Ducky Bhai is one of the most famous YouTubers of Pakistan. He has been in countless controversies with the latest one coming with his arrest over endorsing betting apps. He is known for roasting videos, calling out other fellow YouTubers and showing off his success and wealth. Recently he shared that he bought a house worth 10 crore, a claim which is now alleged to be false.
Ducky Bhai was all set to travel abroad when he was arrested from Lahore Airport by authorities for allegedly endorsing betting apps. These apps promote gambling among youngsters. Other names have also been brought into this case including Wasim Akram. He has been on physical remand and now Mishi Khan had to say something about him.
Mishi Khan has spoken out against Ducky Bhai. She said that such illiterate YouTubers have no education and they also teach other kids to start getting into Vlogging and betting apps and stop studying. This is what they are teaching to their millions of young followers. It is great that he has been picked up and now he will be made into an example.
The internet is agreeing with Mishi Khan. One user said, “Such influencers sell their soul for money.” Another added, “These YouTubers are deceiving the younger generation.” One said, “Totally agree with your views Mishi.” Here is the reaction:
Rajab Butt and Eman Rajab were married late last year and the couple has been through hell and back since. Their wedding was the talk of the town due to the lavishness and then we saw many cases that kept coming on. Rajab and Eman were doing well in the start but things started slipping after a while which was quite obvious in the family’s Vlogs. He has been out of Pakistan now due to some legal troubles while Eman who is expecting is here in Pakistan.
Dr Affan Qaiser has some advice for the estranged couple now. He was a guest on Samaa where he spoke about the couple. He said that a husband and wife should always resolve their issues themselves. Go for a long drive or a date or sit together in a room and talk things out. He added he is saying this as the couple is public.
He said that the couple’s family should not come in between. He pointed out that Eman’s brother Aoun should not speak on her behalf while Rajab Butt’s mother should not be making any decision either. They should talk about issues themselves. Involving your family members is always a disaster for the couple.
This is what Dr Affan Qaiser had to advise to both Rajab Butt and Eman:

He worked with Mehwish years ago an she was still graceful and kind enough to say good things for him.

Do Kinaray is a drama that has gained millions of views on Green TV. The drama is loved for how toxic Momina Iqbal is as Dureshehwar. The way she portrayed the vamp has made this drama a big hit. We were finally shown how she snatched away the child, Dua from her ex-husband Waleed played by Junaid Khan. The child was used by her mother for revenge and she was not taking care of her asthma at all.
The latest episode of Do Kinaray showed how Dureshehwar was once again concened about lawyers and going to her husband’s house to threaten him while her own daughter ended up dead due to her negligence and her selfishness. This is the first time that Dureshehwar was also shocked in the drama.
This is what went down:
The fans of the drama are extremely upset over the twist. One user wrote, “Dureshehwar should have died instead of Dua.” Another added, “I kept checking on my own children after watching that scene.” One said, “It is the courage of the child actor’s parents to let her film this scene.” This is what went down:

Before the arrest, the You tuber made headlines for flaunting a 10 Crore House in DHA Raya, Lahore as his own property. He also gave tour of the house which fans loved.
Now, the realtor of DHA Raya Lahore has exposed Ducky Bhai’s lie about buying the property.
Talking about it, he said, “I am Armaghan Rana. My office is in Defence Raya with the name of Official Properties. I am not a vlogger or You tuber, but I cannot tolerate liars. Ducky rented a house from us but falsely claimed that he bought it. May Allah bless you with such a house — but do not lie about it. The house he flaunted in his vlog as his own property, is on rent. He took the property on rent for PKR four lakhs per month. He did not even pay full commission to the property dealers who showed him the house and helped him rent it. He only paid them one week’s commission instead of one month commission. I would like to advise kids not to follow people like Ducky who lie all the time , instead follow better role models.” Here is the link to the video:
Here is a detailed video of the realtor Armaghan Rana about how Ducky Bhai fooled his audience through a fake claim of buying a luxurious property in Defence Lahore:
Social media users are coming up with mixed reactions. A few are shocked on Ducky’s another lie while many are saying that now they will bring such evidences to weaken Ducky’s already going trial in the court:

Hiba Ali Khan is a talented Pakistani TV actress who has appeared in numerous hit serials. Dil Diya Dehleez was her claim to the fame project. She also did modelling during the start of her career.

Hiba Ali recently appeared in ARY Digital’s podcast, hosted by Ayaz Samoo. In the show, she revealed the reason behind divorces.
Talking about it, Hiba Ali said, “Competition from other women, is a common factor that can lead to divorce, especially among women. I have a very close friend whose husband called me and said, ‘Hiba, we will be having a divorce only because of her jealous or competitive nature. Whenever she sees expensive items with others, she comes to me and demands them — for example, a car or a jewellery set. She taunts me, saying I can’t buy them for her. She also insists on wearing sleeveless clothes despite knowing about my conservative family.’ I think social media has also made women outspoken and overly liberal.” Here is the link to the video:
