Ayeza Khan is the superstar of Pakistan. She has given many hits in her career and her presence is enough to attract the audience towards a project. She has always been known for her beauty and she gets appreciated for the way her style has evolved over the years. Nowadays we are seeing her In Humraaz on Geo TV.

Fans have loved her acting and her chemistry with co-star Ali Ansari. The internet also thinks that Hina Tariq low key resembles Ayeza Khan as she is also very pretty.
Here are some side by side comparisons of Ayeza Khan and Hina Tariq:
The internet overwhelmingly thinks that Ayeza Khan and Hina Tariq are very much alike in appearance. Some do disagree but the majority sees the resemblance. One user said, “I thought they were both sisters.” Another said, “Yes there is a resemblance.” One thought, “They are both pretty and look alike in expressions.” This is what they said:
Jahangir Khan is a former squash world champion and national hero of Pakistan. He has a world record of 555 wins in a row. The star has made Pakistan proud and listening to him is not less than listening to a motivational speaker for the youth of today. He was a guest on Ramz hosted by Gohar Rasheed and he shared an incredible story about his success and career.
Jahangir Khan comes from a family of squash players but this was not how it would have been for him. The star revealed that he was born with a congenital hernia and the doctor told his father in the very beginning that he will not be able to play squash like the men in his family.
His mother was the support that he needed. He had to go through two surgeries at the ages 5 and 12. After his second surgery, his doctor told his parents that there is no squash dream for him. His mother and father however, never gave up on it. He also started working hard even when he was under 16 and he was able to clinch championship after championship and later became a world class player. His doctor used to watch his matches and he was always shocked by the miracle.
This is the inspiring story of Jahangir Khan’s success:
Sheema Kermani is a dancer, activist and teacher. She is known as the symbol of women empowerment in Pakistan and she has been working for the cause since the late 70s. She is very clear in her opinions and she is seen at different protests and shows where she presents her point of view.
Sheema Kermani was a guest on FHM and she spoke about how men today have gotten worse gradually. She shared that this has happened due to what they have consumed in content and news while they were growing up. There was dictatorship and the patriarchal views that were presented to them on TV made them worse than the men before.
This is what she said:
Sheema Kermani also called out Pakistani dramas for showing extra-marital affairs in every show. She said this is not happening in real life. It is not like every man wants to marry again. She also added that she sees dramas showing vampy mothers-in-law and that is far from reality. Not every mother-in-law is going to be negative.
Waseem Badami was a front line journalist in the India-Pakistan stand off. He reported everything live and he was the man who announced Operation Buyan Ul Mursoos on television. He has spoken about the operation and the war-like situation that Pakistan encountered due to a hostile neighbour and how celebrities behaved through it all.
Waseem Badami revealed on the ARY podcast that many of our stars were ready to defend the country on every platform. A superstar like Fahad Mustafa was asking him for updates every second as he was worried about his nation. Humayun Saeed gave a news beeper for Pakistan while his brother was being taken for surgery and he was sitting in the hospital. Behroze Sabzwari and many other people raised their voices openly. But the anchor has wise words for stars who wanted to remain silent through it all.
Waseem Badami said that we should never question anyone’s loyalty or patriotism and he understands that there are stars who do not give any statement about social or political issues. They want to navigate their careers that way but when your country is at war and you remain silent, then that is not the right thing to do. Many Pakistani stars earned respect in India but that respect came because of Pakistan, the country which provided you a platform.
Badami said that yes, our whole nation condemns Pahalgam as we are against the deaths of innocents but the minute India started pointing fingers at us, our stars should reply with an equal voice. You cannot remain neutral in such situations, you need to take a position. We Pakistanis are respectful of life everywhere but you cannot blame us.
Fiza Ali is a renowned Pakistani former TV actress and a talented host. She is famous for dramas like Mehndi, Saath Nibhane Hai, Saat Sur Rishton Ke, and Love Life Aur Lahore. She has also gained recognition as a morning show host. Fiza is a strong single mother to her adorable grown-up daughter, Faraal.
Recently, Fiza Ali faced backlash for her bold dressing in her controversial live morning show. Fiza Ali was wearing a black and blue Chiffon See-through outfit which was partially revealing her body. Her arms and small part of her tummy was quite visible. The show was about dogs. She captioned the video, “In today’s show, our special guests are — adorable, loyal dogs! Watch how these innocent companions spread joy. This is an episode you definitely don’t want to miss!”
Fiza Ali’s dressing sense in a live show is receiving severe public backlash. One fan wrote, “Very cheap dressing.” Another commented, “You could have worn a bigger slip or vest (inner shirt) under this see-through top.” Someone else remarked, “When these actresses age, they become bolder.” Another user wrote, “In Ramzan, she appears so pious, but afterward, her clothes keep getting shorter.” A netizen commented, “You are supposed to wear a dupatta throughout the year, not just in Ramzan.” Another observed, “We have all types of women in the Pakistani media who change their appearance according to the event.” Read the comments here:
The Pakistan-India conflict has settled down for a while after the ceasefire announcement between the two countries. However, this conflict, followed by the deaths of civilians and army personnel, has sparked multiple debates among artists, TV anchors, and the public. In both Pakistan and India, artists are facing backlash for remaining silent on the matter. In Pakistan, many prominent actors chose to stay quiet, and people are criticizing them for it.
Atiqa Odho recently made headlines for supporting the actors, saying that artists should not be dragged into such conflicts because they are “soft image ambassadors.” However, her statement is receiving severe backlash.
Mishi Khan, Rabya Kulsoom, and Fatima Effendi have confronted Atiqa Odho for her remarks on the role of artists.
Mishi Khan said, “I was surprised to hear Atiqa say that actors are soft image ambassadors. It’s senseless. I expected more from you. When should artists speak? Forty civilians have been martyred, countless are injured—when is the right time to speak? Okay, we know you have great terms with Fawad, but at least stay silent instead of saying such things.” Here is the link to the video:
Fatima Effendi Kanwar also commented, saying that Atiqa Odho would urge others to remain silent when it comes to raising their voices for the country but would happily put down Pakistani actors on her show by degrading their dramas. She also added that all her chances and earnings from working in India are now in danger. Here is the post:
Rabya Kulsoom also came forward with a firm stance, saying, “So, neutrality and soft image are the new synonyms for ‘not being able to stand firm for your country and people’ and completely disregarding the fact that with great power comes great responsibility.” She further added, “You are what you are because of your goddamn country—and that is Pakistan! Respect it, embrace it, and freaking STAND BY IT OUT LOUD!”

Taimoor’s unexpected actions are capturing fans’ attention. Viewers have praised the shocking twists in the storyline, noting that they keep the audience thoroughly engaged. Many believe that Humayun Ashraf’s fearless portrayal of Taimoor is making Naqaab an engaging watch. One fan remarked, “He got fame from Rang Mahal, where he played a negative role, but this time, he has taken his performance to another level.” The production house is also earning praise for its brilliant execution and gripping storytelling, especially for a soap serial. “This drama has become a hit solely because of its male characters,” wrote one viewer. Another added, “Taimoor absolutely nailed his role”. Another wrote, “Humayun Ashraf carried the entire show with his powerful performance and deserves many more projects.” Despite appreciating Humayun Ashraf’s acting, fans are vocal about their disapproval of Taimoor’s wrongdoings in love. A viewer commented, “I hate Taimoor’s character.” A fan pointed out, “If Taimoor kidnapped Emaan, that makes him a criminal — there’s no redemption left for him.” Read the comments here:

Talking about it, Bushra Ansari said, “Yes, on the 15th of May, I’m celebrating my birthday. I’m a true Taurus. I’ve been receiving messages from friends and family. My kids are sleeping at the moment—they’ll wish me too. And the news channels have been announcing that Bushra Ansari has completed 69 years of her life. Thanks to Allah for blessing me with such a memorable journey. It’s a strange phenomenon that people age-shame you for living a beautiful life filled with unforgettable experiences. I thank God for this blessing, despite the ups and downs. I never hide my age. We’ve been working for decades—my daughter was just one year old when I started working. What would I achieve by hiding my age? I won’t suddenly become Mahira Khan or Hania Aamir. I’ll still remain a mother and a person of my age.”
She further added, “People usually hide their age because of age shaming norm in our society. Also, I have seen many younger people who are not active or have almost left taking care of themselves so I always say one should be young at heart as there are many lethargic people with young bodies “.
Here are the birthday wishes Bushra Ansari got from her fraternity friends and fans:
Morning shows in Pakistan still hold great importance. Many news and TV channels begin the day with live transmissions that generate various discussions and often spark controversial debates. Recently, the topic discussed on Madeha Naqvi’s morning show Subh Ka Samaa made headlines for addressing the inappropriate behavior of husbands with domestic maids.
The show featured several guests, including Ghazal Siddiqui and Ghazala Javed. One of the speakers from the public, whose face was covered with a mask, shared a disturbing incident regarding her husband who has a guest house business.
The speaker revealed that she caught her husband with a maid after chasing them to the house where they were meeting alone. She also revealed that she had already received multiple warnings about her husband’s inappropriate activities from the building’s watchman. The other guest speakers also said that the fault lies with her husband who responded to such a woman positively. Actress Ghazala Javed also shared an incident of her neighbour whose husband got married to maid in her absence when went to her mother for delivery. Here is the link to the video:
Social media users are criticizing Samaa TV for discussing the bold topic on a public forum. One social media user wrote, “What kind of discussions are being introduced in our morning shows? These topics are giving people ideas.” Another commented, “Our society is full of immoral people and evil, but discussing such matters on television will only contribute to the rise of these sins.” A third user wrote, “Men here get angry when women speak about such matters because they know they are flirtatious with every woman even maids”. Fans said such topics should not be discussed openly. Many also said that if women gave proper time to their husbands, the men wouldn’t stray. One user wrote, “Men who behave like that will always stoop low, no matter what.” Read all the comments:
Faiza Hasan is a very talented artist of Pakistan. She has a range in her acting and she can perform different characters with finesse. The starlet is among celebrities who posted in support of Pakistan as soon as India attacked our country in the middle of the night. There has been a lot of debate surrounding artists who did not use their platform well while supporting their homeland. Faiza has something to say about it.
There are several superstars like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan who were called out by their own industry colleagues and public alike for not showing open support for Pakistan.
Faiza Hasan thinks calling out celebrities and questioning their patriotism by the public and especially by their own colleagues is wrong. The star said that she wanted to post in support of Pakistan and she did. Many others felt the same and posted in favour of Pakistan. There are other stars, however, who did not want to speak so openly and they should have that choice. She called her colleagues vultures who want likes as they are calling their fellow artists out. She added that we always speak against BJP and Hindutva extremism, so we should not be like them and do similar things. We should give everyone freedom for how much they want to say and not question their patriotism. Any star who lives in Pakistan and pays taxes is patriotic and they love their country.
The internet disagrees with Faiza Hasan’s stance. They think this is not how it works when a war is being imposed on you. One said, “I disagree with you. It is the duty of a public figure to support their country openly.” Another added, “Pakistani actors think twice while Indian actors all stood by their Operation Sindoor within minutes.” A netizen added, “You need to show your loyalty to Pakistan in times of war.” Here is what the public said:
Iftikhar Thakur is among the stars who consistently work with actors from Indian Punjab. Things have gone haywire in the Indian Punjabi industry as well after the India Pakistan stand-off. He has starred in several big budget Punjabi films and he is friends with many big Punjabi stars. His recent statement in support of Pakistan did not sit well with many of his Indian Punjabi colleagues and he has a reply for it.
Iftikhar Thakur had previously given a statement that if you come via air, you will be scattered in the winds, if you come from waters, you will be sunk and if you come through land ways, you will be dug in. And that is what the Pakistan Air Force did to the Indian Air Force. The statement however, did not sit well with many of Iftikhar’s Indian Punjabi colleagues.
This is what he said:
Iftikhar Thakur has now spoken about his Indian colleagues and their reactions to his statement. He shared that there are always two types of people. One he said are those who were fed by their brave mothers. They get angry but they will always express their anger with respect. He is also apologetic to a few people like Simi Chahal, Diljit Dosanjh, Amrinder Gill and others as he never wanted to hurt them. They are very respectful of him and he will remember that.
Iftikhar Thakur said that his words are for people like Major Gaurav Arya and General Bakhshi who are jingoists. He added that he has never considered Indian Punjab separate from Pakistani Punjab as they are connected through soul:
The actor also called out Indian Punjabi artists who were disrespectful like their Chief Minister who is also an actor. He said that people like him show how they were brought up with cheap lines and words. Patriotism by them is understandable as they also love their country but grace should be maintained. He also stated that he was the one who started collaborations with Indian Punjab and he is the one who has closed it.
Shaan Shahid is the biggest film star of Pakistan. He started his career with Bulandi and he is still as relevant as he was when he started his career. The star has worked in hundreds of Urdu and Punjabi films. He made a huge evolution when he starred in Khuda Ke Liye and Waar. Both the films brought him to the younger audience. Despite getting so many offers from Bollywood over the years, Shaan never chose to go to India.
Shaan Shahid’s stance was once again vindicated when India disrespected Pakistani artists and banned them, their work and social media accounts. He also stated that no amount of money is bigger than your country’s respect.
Naseem Vicky is a big name of Pakistan. He has been a front runner of Pakistani theatre and he has also worked in films and television. The star has also worked in India and he used to be a big part of the Kapil Sharma Show when it started. He has praised Shaan Shahid’s stance after the recent Pakistan-India stand off. The actor said that time has proven that Shaan’s decision of not going to India was right. He added that he is ashamed today that Shaan was right and none of them should have worked in India. He also praised his talent and said that he is a star who alone is equal to SRK, Govinda and Sanjay Dutt.
Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani are the hottest couple in town. They fell in love when they were college mates and worked on several projects. Their wedding just took place, and they received so much love and blessings worldwide. The couple also starred in another drama, Agar Tum Saath Ho, alongside Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz, which started airing after their wedding.
Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani’s fans were ecstatic to see them again after their marriage, but the show overall has been a huge disappointment. The story has so many loopholes, and the performances are also weak. This was not something that fans had signed up for after watching these two in dramas like Neem and Sabaat. Agar Tum Saath Ho did not manage to impress the audience.
The internet is speaking about this. One user said, “The potential of both Mawra and Ameer has been wasted.” Another added, “Mawra probably signed this for Ameer.” A user said, “The story and performances are both garbage.” This is what the internet thinks:

One said, “When Maleeha gave justifications herself, no one believed her. But when they saw the letter, they instantly believed it without question.” Another fan shared, “Mohid and Rohaam were not entirely positive characters. Both showed their true colors to Maleeha. May Allah protect women from such men.” One fan concluded, “Overall, I liked the drama and Rohaam’s character, and just because of this character, Ae Dil topped the TRP charts.” A few believed that Mohid didn’t deserve a sad ending. A few fans were also inquisitive about the text written in the secret letter. Read the comments here:
Atiqa Odho is a senior Pakistani television and film actress known for her hit projects like Humsafar, Nijat, Sitara Aur Mehrunnisa, Besharam, Dasht, Dao, Pyar Kay Sadqay and others. She is currently appearing in Express TV’s drama serial Paradise.

Recently, she talked about the role of soft image ambassadors during the times like wars and conflicts.
Talking about it, Atiqa Odho said, “Unfortunately, our soft image ambassadors—like poets, actors, musicians, singers, writers, and others—are dragged into this. Please don’t do that. They are here to spread love and culture; they are here to unite people. You can’t put them under such scrutiny. We don’t say these things to doctors or lawyers, so why do we curse our actors for this? My appeal to artists on both sides is: spread love, not hate. Your role is to create harmony.”
Atiqa Odho’s statement about artists role during the war is receiving severe public backlash. Fans are angry at Atiqa Odho for showing a lack of patriotism at a time when Pakistani civilians were attacked by India in the middle of the night. One fan commented, “These actors have no idea how much hate Indian celebrities showed towards Pakistan during the war.” An actor also called out Atiqa Odho, writing, “There was a war going on, and we had so many Shahadats (martyrdoms), yet all Indian actors and actresses were speaking against Pakistan. It was not a normal situation—Pakistan was unnecessarily dragged into it.” Another remarked, “She seems out of her mind. Doesn’t she know every Indian celebrity spoke against Pakistan? Yet she still has to lick their boots.” One user added, “Share culture and love with whom? With those who violate our sovereignty, disrespect our cultural ambassadors as they please, and kill our children? No thank you!” Read the comments here:

Not to put anybody’s efforts down, obviously they fought with bravery— hats off to them— but having said that, we, as a nation, are lacking in heroes and people who can take things on their own or take a charge and sort things out. That has triggered the reaction in us. We lack heroism, basically. We have very few figures. There is so much demotivation and disappointment, so anybody who takes the lead, gets all the praise.” Here is the link to the video:
Pakistani stars have been a driving force in sharing Pakistan’s side in the ongoing Pakistan-India conflict. The two countries have been at odds for decades now. Previously, we have seen how India would blame Pakistan for everything that goes wrong inside their borders, and Pakistani artists have always advocated for peace. This time around, things changed when our artists condemned the deaths in Pahalgam. They once again propagated peace, but they did not allow India to blame us. The stars stood up for Pakistan and defended their country with full force.
Here is a list of Pakistani stars who did not shy away from calling out Indian aggression. They do stand for peace, but they did not allow another country to blame their homeland:
Shaan Shahid
Shaan Shahid is a prominent Pakistani star known for his unwavering and assertive stance on issues about Pakistan. As a superstar in the Pakistani film industry, he has received countless offers from Bollywood over the years, yet he has firmly rejected every one of them. Shaan stands resolutely against the notion of any Pakistani actor working in India, engaging in a public confrontation with Ali Zafar, who was thriving in Bollywood at the time.

He did not worry about losing his Indian followers and said what was needed to be said.
Mahira Khan
Mahira Khan is a prominent Pakistani actress who has represented her country on the international stage. With a strong portfolio of dramas, films, and Netflix series, she has made a significant mark in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, due to the intolerant environment created by Hindutva extremism in India, she couldn’t promote the film or appear at its release.
Mahira often praises her collaborators and appreciates her team. While she is celebrated in India, she is also outspoken in her support for Pakistan. She has condemned Hindutva extremism and shared her experiences with intolerance. Despite the risk of losing Instagram followers, she stands firmly by her beliefs.
Urwa Hocane
Another Pakistani star who was very open about calling out Indian aggression was Urwa Hocane. The starlet not only called out India for how they were wrongly accusing Pakistan but also went a step ahead and called out her colleagues who were still appeasing India while they were openly putting false accusations against Pakistan and disrespecting Pakistani artists by banning them and their work.

Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum brought him to light for many new fans who were not familiar with his work previously. He is also a producer, and his dramas get views from India on YouTube, but this did not stop him from stating his point of view in the defense of his country. The star called out Indian jingoism and warned them not to try these adventures again.
Javed Sheikh

All of these Pakistani stars proudly stood up for their country. Unlike many in India, they rejected jingoism. They championed peace and had no desire to see India erased from the world map. At the same time, they firmly defended their homeland’s honor with conviction and strength.

This is how she defined the growing acceptance of mature romance on TV:
Nadeem Baig is among the most successful directors of Pakistan. He has projects like Mere Paas Tum Ho, Jawani Phir Nahi Aani, Punjab Nahin Jaongi, London Nahin Jaunga and Pyare Afzal on his list. He is all set to make his cinema comeback with Love Guru this Eid ul Adha which is one more project that he has shot with Humayun Saeed.
Nadeem Baig was a guest on Gup Shab and he was asked to choose between Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa. He had to pick one for a specific role. The director said that they are both best in their craft and he will actually have to see what the character is for which he is casting them.
The director said that not everyone can do every role thus the character will show who he will choose between the two stars. He added that Humayun Saeed has his own knack and there is no other star like him. Fahad cannot do Main Manto Nahin Hoon while Humayun can. Similarly, only Fahad Mustafa can do a Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Both the stars have their merits.
This is what he said:
Nadeem Baig also spoke about how he never keeps a lot of expectations from the people he introduces in this industry. He does not think that they will now only work with him. He has given a break to many people like he was once given a break to work in this industry. He specifically named Hamza Ali Abbasi who is a great actor and a great human and Nadeem introduced him to mainstream dramas.
Iqra Aziz is one of the most loved stars of the Pakistani drama industry. She is also a mother to a young son. She has been raising Kabir Hussain with beautiful values and she always brings him wherever she goes. The starlet just saw a disturbing video of a parent and made an important comment on it.
Recently a video of a man slapping his son in the DHA Raya of Lahore has gone viral. The scene was captured while two other creators were making a video of themselves. The child looked like he was throwing a tantrum which kids do and his father slapped him in public.
Iqra Aziz shared the video on her story with an important message. She shared that as a desi parent she understands that we can have an urge to slap our child for being too loud or too naughty as we have seen that happen way too often. But we need to break this cycle and no amount of action warrants a physical slap to a child.
The public is also disgusted with how the child was slapped on the face publicly. One user wrote, “Islam does not allow to slap across face. the child should have been disciplined at home.” Another added, “Violence has become a part of our DNA. This is not acceptable.” A netizen commented, “Later these people say that the kid is not taking care of us in old age.” Here is what the internet thinks:

He thought that so many people have spent money to watch him and he could not let them down, therefore he performed even when he was so sad. These are the sacrifices artists make. They are not to get praise or money. It is just a star who is fulfilling his duty towards his fans.

Raaja Rani is a Hum TV’s Prime time drama serial which has been directed by Amin Iqbal. The story is written by Sana Zafar. The concept and dialogues are by Abdul Khaliq Khan and Amin Iqbal. Momina Duraid is the producer of the show. Faysal Quraishi is playing the main lead character in the show and his bold choice of character is under strict public and critical scrutiny. However, Faysal Quraishi’s fans are supporting him.
Former Actress and Kya Drama Hai’s co-host Sadia Imam has recently criticized Faysal Quraishi’s Look from the drama serial. She is of the view that Faysal Quraishi could have chosen a mature getup for Zaviyar’s character.
Talking about Faysal Quraishi’s Look in Raaja Rani, she said, “What kind of drama is this? I’ve been saying this since the first episode aired—there’s just too much makeup. Zaviyar’s character is stuck at a certain age mentally, and we understand that. But why make him clean-shaven and apply layers of foundation just to make him look younger? It’s not working. I don’t understand why Faysal Bhai agreed to this. His makeup looks very prominent on screen. Imran Ashraf has played such a character perfectly in the past—because it was all natural. Here, the makeup is too visible, also the lighting is so poor. This character should have been executed differently. He should physically look like a mature person. The role could have been portrayed with a beard—it would have looked excellent.”
Parwarish is ARY Digital’s popular prime time drama serial that airs twice a day at 8:00 p.m. It features a stellar cast including Samar Jafri, Aina Asif, Savera Nadeem, Naumaan Ijaz, Saman Ansari, Shamim Hilaly, Saad Zameer Fareedi, Reham Rafiq, Abul Hasan, Arshad Mehmood, and others.

The story of Parwarish revolves around a family that lives in a joint family system. Fans are loving the strong bond within the family. In recent episodes, viewers have also been praising the bond between Mahnoor and Panah. Mahnoor’s caring attitude towards her sister-in-law is making fans emotional. Her character has earned respect for her helpful nature.
Mahnoor’s character, portrayed by the excellent Pakistani actress Savera Nadeem, is overall receiving praise for being a practical and confident person who is independent in her decisions. Fans are also loving her nature as a perfect mother and her sweet bond with Panah. One fan wrote, “Mahnoor has such a good conversation with her son—every mother should be like her.” Another said, “I love Mahnoor for how practical she is in life. Everyone should be like her.” Another fan commented, “Mahnoor is a great support. She’s trying to help Panah with good intentions.” Someone else wrote, “Everyone should have a support system like Mahnoor in real life.” Many viewers also praised Savera Nadeem’s stunning looks and demeanor as Mahnoor. Fans said she has perfectly embodied the character of Mahnoor. Fans are also sharing hilarious comments regarding the situations that are being created as a result of Mahnoor’s empowering actions. Here are the comments:
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed rose to popularity after appearing in ISPR’s press conferences on behalf of Air Force Chief Zaheer Ahmad Baber Sidhu. AVM Aurangzeb, 53, is a happily married man and a proud father of talented children. He started grabbing headlines from day one due to his sharp looks and intelligent demeanor. However, his popularity soared after the Pakistan Air Force successfully downed six Indian jets. The Air Force officer remained in the spotlight for two to three days, and the admiration from women didn’t stop—even prompting several celebrities to step in and calm those going gaga over him.
Dania Enwer, Abdullah Sultan, Fiza Khawar and Mansoor Ali Khan were among the notable celebrities who expressed concern over women flirting with a respectable Air Force officer, especially considering he has a family who may be witnessing all of this unfold on social media.
Abdullah Sultan said that AVM Aurangzeb is a respected Air Force figure and a married man. Praising such a personality is perfectly fine, but associating cringeworthy memes and below-the-belt wishful posts should stop. Fiza Khawar also shared Pakistan Air Force’s post, saying, “Pakistani women should calm down because making sexual and unethical jokes on our respected officers is beyond comprehension.” Mansoor Ali Khan categorically told all the women who are flirting on the Air Force officer that AVM Aurangzeb is a married man and 53. He further said that he has started feeling sad for AVM’s wife. Besides that, many Pakistani women are also of the view that the officers deserve Pakistani people’s praise, but to crack unethical jokes and treating them like a romantic figure is unacceptable. Here are the posts:
Divorce is not an easy thing to go through. Only those who have gone through it understand the pain and gravity of it. Pakistan is a country where divorce despite being Halal is demonized. Even if a couple is in so much pain and they are going through the worst of times, they are pushed to remain together. The divorce rate is increasing now as more women are finding their voice.
Recently, a girl named Feeya shared how her mother has just gotten divorced after 30 years of marriage. She was in a toxic relationship and when she finally got divorced, the family celebrated it with a cake and dinner. The woman is now happy as she is finally free. The daughter shared this celebration with the world.
The Internet has a lot to say after this post went viral. Many people appreciated how the family is celebrating the end to toxicity while others think that it should not have been celebrated as divorce is considered the most unliked among Halal things by Allah. One said, “It is good to celebrate when you come out of a painful situation.” One thought, “It is wrong to celebrate divorce and put it on social media, whatever was the reason behind it.” Another added, “I do not agree with celebrating divorce but I cannot judge someone else’s pain.” Here is the reaction:
After all of this Feeya clarified that her father had left her mother 10 years ago after abuse, gun pointing and what not. Thus her coming out of it is a win for sure. This also clarifies why she was not observing Iddat:
Waseem Badami celebrated Youm e Tashakkur on ARY news and he roasted Indian media. He was joined by Shafaat Ali and other artists who replicated what Indian media does on a daily basis. People like Major Gaurav Arya and Arnab Goswami are known to be exaggerators and war-mongers. The way they reported through the four day stand off was absurd, illogical and dangerous. They were even called out by some Indian celebrities.
Waseem Badami brought dummies of Arnab Goswami and General Bakhshi and they acted exactly like Indian media acts. From war-mogering to occupying Karachi and what not, they showed how Indian media was behaving throughout these days of war.
This is how Indian media was acting:
Pakistanis exactly replicated their frenzy and it looked as funny as it does on Indian media:
Even Indians are agreeing with the roast. One Indian wrote, “I am Indian but this is really funny.” Another added, “I am Indian and I love this roast.” One user added, “This is better than SNL.” This is how public is reacting:
Noman Habib is a self-made actor. He started his career with a film like Main Hoon Shahid Afridi. He has since appeared in many dramas and fans love to watch him on-screen. He has a very real off-screen persona and viewers enjoy when he comes on live shows. He was a guest on Mazaq Raat and spoke about his journey over the years.
Noman Habib shared that attitudes of people change towards you once you start to achieve something. He revealed that he along with his colony friends used to go door to door and they would collect money for decoration on the 14th August and people can be rude at times. But when he started working and earning fame, the same people would invite him over for tea.
This is how he described the change in attitudes:
The actor also shared that fame changed him as well. He has changed with time. At first people used to suppress him, even assistants started putting their mistakes on him as he would not fight back. He also shared an incident where comedians on a show only targeted him as he was not answering back. With these examples, he shared that as his fame and experience increased, he learnt how to defend himself.
Here is what he revealed:
Noman Habib also has advice for egoistic actors. This is a problem that has been attributed to many big stars by the industry. Noman shared that this is a must and happens to all actors who become famous. Some show it and others don’t. He also felt that he has become a big thing at one point. That is when your close circle should point out the change in your attitude and you should put yourself back on track. One should not get lost in that egoistic void.

The victory was celebrated on national television and they represented how artists feel about Pakistan coming out as a clear winner in this stand off. Javed Sheikh has worked in India for a long time and he can be called the most successful Pakistani actor who worked in Bollywood.

He added that he feels all Indians including actors, their army and the public have started living in Bollywood. Our forces have shown them how reality is different from Bollywood. Javed Sheikh added that we badly needed something to unite us. India underestimated us and they thought they would take away Balochistan and Gilgit Baltistan but this stand-off has brought them into reality. The songs which we make also made our passion stronger and he saluted the forces and China.
Here is what the stars said:
Behroze Sabzwari added that Allah showed Pride Hath Its Fall. Allah showed India how pride is not the right choice. Javed Sheikh added that this war also brought the name of Islam forward as India had Israel supporting it through its technology. Muslims all over the world resent Israel for what they have done in Gaza. They all felt proud when they saw Pakistan fighting back. He added that many countries who were underestimating Pakistan are also praising us now.

Talking about her heartbreak, Sukynah Khan said, “Yes, I experienced a heartbreak, and it happened recently. I had high hopes for my love, but when your heart breaks, you feel pain. I’m not hurting, but I do find a strange comfort in the pain caused by heartbreak. I believe that when two people spend time together, they should cherish the good moments. If you part ways and keep hoping for a patch-up, you end up wasting a lot of time — that waiting consumes you. I’m still waiting for someone. I haven’t told him, and I don’t need to — he already knows. Maybe this loss will bless me with patience. I don’t even wish to have patience in my life, because after that you wish to have your lover back goes.”Here is the link to the video:
Talking about personal loss, Sukynah said, “Yes, I recently experienced a big financial loss, just when I came to Lahore for Mazaqraat my car was stolen in Karachi. I think it was the same pain which transferred into my performance. I am not able to process that loss but obviously I’m here due to my commitment.” Here is the link to the video:
