Mahira Khan is on the direct hit of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena controversy. Her Bollywood debut release is also approaching and MNS is threatening that they will not let the film release due to the presence of Pakistani actress.
As the haters are commenting, Mahira is all set to handle them!
Lately a person made a very rude and stupid comment on a photography of Mahira and her son.
Saami786 said, “apko india se abhi danday nahi paray”.
Mahira, gave the guy a very perfect answer “aap ko apni ammi say parhe hotay toh iss tara ki bakwaas nahi kehte.
The commenter, was a guy who belonged to Pakistan and criticized Mahira for working in Pakistan but soon Mahira friends gave him detailed answers for all his questions.
Few messages from Mahira’s Fans are mentioned below, have a look.
Suboohiii said, “Hey Mahira, such a lovely pic. So proud of you, babe. Big fan from across the border. We are all loving [Pakistani] dramas insanely. Don’t react to those fools, love. Haters gonna hate anyway. You are doing it all right… [Those Muslims who criticise you for your actions need to examine their own behaviour first.] May Allāh bless you with more success throughout life.”
‘Enchantress’ stressed that her fans from both sides of the border, should put their differences aside: “To be honest being an Indian i feel ashamed that people of our country have such a mentality. We shouldn’t have any kinda ill feelings for anyone specially the people who haven’t caused any kind of harm to us. They are not to blamed for anything just because of the country they reside in. I do agree that both India and Pakistan share hostile relationships but just give it a thought that whats the difference between all of us. We bleed the same colour, we have the same kind of food, we live on the same planet earth and we breathe in the same air. So please rather playing a blame game learn to respect and appreciate artists for their work and not say anything which is unacceptable and blame them for deeds of other people.”
Harinder Jeet said, “So unfortunate to see people bashing each other on a beautiful mother-son photograph. Let no one’s hatred affect you, Mahira. You have many admirers and your hard work and dedication to your work will keep inspiring us.” :)
Lately Mahira Khan was invited on the morning show of Hum TV” Jago Pakistano Jago”. Mahira was on the show to promote her upcoming drama serial ‘Bin Roye’ which will be aired on next Sunday on Hum TV.
Mahira was looking really nice, She was wearing a floral print in bright colors by Feeha Jamshed. Her hair-do, make up and bangles in accessories made her look very pretty.
Have a look at Mahira’s pictures from the show.

The host Sana Faisal of the program “Khufia” on the TV channel Abb Takk was poisoned by her fan. A youngster came to Sana requested her for a selfie and later gave her an ice ream as well.
According to the husband of Sana, it was when she ate ice cream and started feeling unwell. It was the ice cream which intoxicated Sana. The host was then admitted to the Karachi’s Ashfaq Memorial Hospital. According to sources the condition of Sana is now stable.
The police has taken the statement of Sana’s husband and is now waiting to record Sana Faisal’s statement to take further action in the matter.
This whole thing is really sad and disappointing what are we heading to ? What kind of society are we living in and becoming a part of ?
Watch Sanam Episode 3 Video Review By Rimsha & Share your thoughts.
Ohkay so, I am glad I took my dose of panadol before watching this drama because now when the episode has ended, I am sure the headache would’ve doubled & the reasons are self-explanatory. I am trying really really hard to warm up to the characters but somehow I don’t feel that they have a lot of depth in them. While watching Sanam, I feel that I am just watching a drama which doesn’t have much to it; nor in terms of story neither in terms of characters but I still am not giving up. One thing that definitely grew on me is the OST, I really like it & I am glad there’s an addition of one more thing that I like about this drama.
Well, I believe that Harib should act like a man & he should stop relying on Shehroz for all the petty problems that he is facing right now. Harib chose to get married to Aila on his own terms, then he should deal with his baggage himself. Harib himself saw how Shehroz was the one who insinuated everything, so it was actually quite odd that Harib once again tried to seek Shehroz’s help in this matter too. Even though Shehroz came to help Harib, the moment Harib left, Shehroz answered all of Aila’s irrelevant questions, whereas if he came with an intention of helping his friend, he should’ve avoided the entire conversation. I don’t think Shehroz had any reasons to reply to every question that Aila posed about Harib’s ex-girlfriend. Also, Harib seems to be missing the point here, it wasn’t Shehroz because of whom Aila was reacting like that, she had an ‘episode’ after she heard everything about Sara from him.
I was actually quite relieved to know that the doctor, without running any tests & without having any proper sessions with Aila miraculously diagnosed that she is suffering from bipolar disorder. It was good that he even suggested that Aila should go through psychotherapy, which actually made me believe that Harib will now try to understand his wife but nope, he chose not to budge. It seems that where Aila is unconsciously suffering from a bipolar disorder, Harib is suffering from self-pity, that is why he has this ‘bechari’ look pasted on his face in all the scenes. Harib said that he has been studying Aila’s behavior for quite some time now, so it again brings me to my point where I fail to believe that Aila never really showed this side of hers to Harib before their marriage.
Well, surprise surprise, Aila not only has a mother but she has a step-father too. Aila also has an uncle & an aunt & also a cousin who she was engaged to. Well, after seeing them I am wondering what took Aila’s family so long to make an appearance? Please don’t tell me that they will be showing up according to their or the director’s convenience? The entire conversation that happened in that scene was so out of the place because usually, such things are discussed & spoken about before the couple gets married. Aila’s mother declared that they are ‘kharay & sachay log’, so where was their ‘sachai’ when Harib was planning on getting married to Aila? It looked that Aila’s entire family was waiting for her to get married to a ‘bechara’, only to tell him later that his wife has some mental issues & now he has to deal with it for the rest of his life. The entire time Aila’s family tried hard to let us know that they take Harib as their son & they think of him as their family member but the lack of chemistry between all the characters that were posing to be a family was quite visible. Well, I know it will come as a shock or surprise (depends on your perspective) but I liked Aila in this episode, I will repeat I liked Aila & not Hareem Farooq in this episode. I liked how she made a come back at her uncle & told him that his son wasn’t worth it. Once again, Harib looked totally surprised when he found out about Aila’s engagement, which shouldn’t have been the case because they have told us time & again that they were in love & spent quite some time with each other before getting married so I am not sure why are they trying to imply that Aila FOOLED Harib by completely hiding everything from him & then got married to him? Another thing that I liked about Aila was how she apologized to Harib, whereas it should’ve been Harib assuring her again & again that she is fine & there’s nothing wrong with her, but our hero sahab chose to tell his wife that she is a ‘psychopath’…so much of compassion for your wife even when you know that she is bipolar, right!
Well, I honestly thought that after the diagnosis, the writer will stir some sympathy towards Aila but it looked like she is trying hard to attribute all the bad habits to her. In the previous episodes, they told us that Aila has no control on herself, she is paranoid, she is ‘shukki’ & in this episode, they showed that she was ‘jhooti’ as well because she conveniently lied to Shehroz that nothing was wrong between her & Harib. Also another thing that they showed was that Aila was openly threatening her husband & she hit him too. Matlab, koi aur burai reh gai hai aisi jo ke Aila mai na ho? Oh & yes, the biggest burai I forgot to mention, she also doesn’t know how to ‘cook’, my goodness, itni buri hai Aila? :/
Khurram & his mother’s scenes didn’t spark an interest but what actually did was the coverage that Aan’s mothers got. I actually found myself giggling at her dialogues; ‘heart attack aya tha, saath le ke chala gaya’ & ‘moochain dekh ke wo log shajra nikal lainge’, lol, she is funny & she is so cute. I really enjoyed watching Aan’s mother & everything that she is doing to get her daughter married. The way she spoke to the branch manager & told him about Aan’s proposal was hilarious too, I like her for the fact that she is brutally honest & so very simple. All hearts for Aan’s mother!
Well, I must say the only time I actually felt that Harib (read OKB) was a bechara was when Aila (read Hareem Farooq) was hitting him hard, I am sure after that scene OKB must’ve had some bruises on his skin. Hareem Farooq tried really hard to bring out some emotion but it just didn’t work. She ended up staining Aan’s reputation & now I am sure Harib will make it his duty to compensate for everything that his wife said & that will lay the foundation of Harib & Aan’s union. This episode was strictly alright, as much as the lead pair should be running the show, it is Hina Bayat who has overruled everyone & even the photo of Shaukat Qureshi is enough to spark a humor & start a conversation. I must say, I love Maya Ali’s outfits, she is rocking them & she looks stunning. The precap of the next episode suggested that Harib will find a mother in Aan’s mother & he will now become a part of their family which will give him all the more reasons to be close to them. Honestly speaking, I don’t think by slightly touching on the fact that Aila was ‘bipolar’ the writer did any justice to the actual issue because Harib seemed a little too pre-occupied with his own bechargi & the focus of the director seemed to be on everything else rather than on Aila’s psychological issues. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Sanam.

Atif has a great fan following mainly due to his amazing voice but Sara Bharwana is also famous among many due to her superb dressing style and captivating looks.
Have a look at these pictures and tell us which one is your favorite.
The political unrest between both the countries Pakistan and India has scared the Indian director Nitin Kakkar. As he is now denying that he has not signed Fawad Khan for his next film which is being produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films.
The Indian Express has revealed that Nitin Kakkar said, “I haven’t signed Fawad. I have read the news in papers which is surprising because I haven’t signed Fawad yet. I am doing a film for Salman Khan’s production and B.R. Chopra’s co-production. We are meeting several actors. Nothing has been signed yet or put to paper yet.”
The most interesting thing to be noted is that many Papers published that Nitin is engaging Fawad for his upcoming project and Nitin did not made any comment immediately that it is not true. But now as things has got worse between the two countries Nitin has clearly refused that he has not taken Fawad in the film.
When Nitin was asked that Papers are saying opposite to what he is saying, Nitin said, “Someone over enthusiastic wrote that. I am not making any urban love story with Fawad Khan. Nothing like that. We are still in the process of casting actors. Nothing concrete yet. And as soon as someone is signed, we will also announce. Right now speculations are being made.”
The much awaited sequel of Karachi Se Lahore , “Lahore se Agey” is under production. The film is a Pakistani road-comedy directed and produced by Wajahat Rauf and is written by Yasir Hussain. The film will be starring Saba Qamar and Yasir Hussain in the lead roles. The film is scheduled for release on November 11, 2016 under the production banner of Showcase Productions.
Lately the first Video song of the film “Kalabaaz” is released. The song is featuring Saba Qamar , Yasir Hussain and Atiqa Odho. The song looks quite similar to the Bollywood number “Ghaagra” from the film “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.” The set, costumes and main idea are quite close to that Indian song.
But on a positive note, I believe it will attract that audience which are fans of Bollywood films. Saba Qamar is looking very glamorous in her beautiful outfit. The song is well choreographed, Yasir Hussain is also looking nice.Watch the video below.

Last Episode of Drama Udaari – A Video Review By Hamna.
This was an amazing last episode, truly gratifying and filled with positivity. There is a quote, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing!”, tonight’s episode of Udaari showed how a few good people can bring about a major change! This episode was filled with positive messages and many questions that directly identified the reasons because of which a rape victim is unable to go to the authorities to get justice. So far all the stories involving the issue of sexual abuse in our dramas ended with the victim getting married in the end or reconciling with their spouse, Udaari for the first time showed an ending all the viewers were longing to see. Zebu’s future is bright like the shiniest star in the sky because she knows exactly what she wants from life; she has a big purpose in life now. Zebu’s story’s ending is the perfect example of the triumph of good over evil; she has been shown as an extraordinary girl who discovered a part of herself she did not know existed only because of everything she went through. 
In the end Arsh did not only win the case but also Meeran’s heart, completely. And his dream of performing on the stage also came true! The trial was covered flawlessly with some very emotional moments but the highlight of this episode was the scene which showed that Zebu had a new mission in life and was not afraid of anything or anyone now. It was also great watching Sajida confess that she was wrong but she had learned a very important lesson from her fearless daughter. Sheedan’s minimal role in the past few episodes and absence from the trial altogether tonight clearly suggests that Bushra Ansari was not able to make it to the shootings, which is quite sad because the viewers loved her character, presence and acting in Udaari. Pakistani viewers get to watch dramas which are entertaining very often but most of them do not always have a real message. Udaari was one of those very few dramas which did not only focus on a very real, serious and tabooed issue but it also did so with precision. It did not only show women who were empowered completely but most importantly a victim who stayed firm against all odds. It will be remembered as a drama which instead of relying on clichés and stereotypes attempted to set new standards. The most important message which this drama put forth was that the victim gets to choose whether he or she wants to continue being a victim or would rather be a survivor. It also showed that no matter how invincible a rapist thinks he is, he will eventually be prosecuted and punished if the victim decides to take a stand for herself. In the last few episodes Imtiaz’s downfall was directly proportional to the amount of confidence Zebu gained. 
Another aspect of Udaari which is truly commendable is that it did not misguide people into believing that choosing to be survivor is easy. Also, Udaari showed that sometimes all a rape victim needs is support from people who love her and someone who can guide her in the right direction. Udaari was truly inspiring for all the viewers because of many characters which were strong and positive. Each one of these characters had a story to tell. The difference people like Arsh, Munira and even Milli made in the lives of individuals who were very different from them went to show that people who are affluent can change the lives of those who are less fortunate with some effort and a lot of dedication. Farhat Ishtiaq deserves tons of credit for taking a road less travelled. Udaari wasn’t the kind of play which required imagination and creativity alone but it also required a lot of research. Farhat Ishtiaq definitely did her homework well and as a result of that the final product proved that the viewers do not always watch dramas with typical and done-to-death stories. The viewers gave their verdict by giving Udaari the ratings it deserved. The director Mohammad Ehteshammudin had a strong grip on the story and knew exactly what was expected from him. He dared to be different by casting an actor like Ahsan Khan in the kind of role which he has never played before. Ahsan Khan has played negative characters before but never one like that of Imtiaz. Ahsan Khan proved what a versatile actor he is by nailing his role and making it unforgettable. Also, with the exception of Ins-e-Yazdan the entire cast did their job well. Urwa Hocane was another actress who was seen in a very different avatar in Udaari. Farhan Saeed’s performance in Udaari has won him many new fans. Bushra Ansari’s character and acting both were on point. Sheedan’s character challenged stereotypes; a person can be strong and liberal even without getting any formal education. Sammiya Mumtaz is a natural actor who always gives every role she plays her very best and this time around too, although there were times when viewers expected slightly more from her character, her performance never faltered. The child star Areesha who played Zebu’s character when she was young has to be one of the most promising actors about the younger lot. Aqeel Abbas who played the role of Zebu’s mamu is another actor who is immensely talented and I am sure many viewers would want to see him on screen more often. Hina Altaf truly delivered when Zebu’s character took the turn the viewers were not even expecting it to take. 
Most of the dramas nowadays either show women as helpless creatures or as conniving characters who cannot see other women happy. Udaari showed a lot of women who supported each other and proved that a woman does not always need a man in her life to save her! I would like to thank MD Productions and Kashf foundation for highlighting this issue and at the same time giving us a story and characters which entertained us for many weeks. Our producers are constantly complaining that viewers don’t want to see social issues being highlighted in dramas and would much rather watch the same old stories but Udaari’s viewership proved that viewers will watch and appreciate quality content if it is presented well on screen. A big thanks to all those amazing readers who gave their feedback every week. Your comments made the discussions productive and lively.
Ohkay so, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode of Thora Sa Aasman as well. I must say, for a change, I am liking this drama because even though it is focusing on showcasing the realities, it has got nothing to do with the realities of ‘marital life’ that our writers these days are obsessed with. Even though I know that the dramas that are based on the novels rarely do justice to the essence of it but I feel that our novel writers explore more options & cover different stories in their work, without making the marital problems the focal point of their writings. So, for that reason I think the drama-makers should explore more such novels & base their dramas on them as it shows a very different perspective on life & the real life issues in a very different light too. I enjoy watching Thora Sa Aasman for the main reason that even though everything that they are showing is based on reality, it still seems refreshing because it is different to what we all are used to watching.
Ambar went out of the way to help her friend Rakshi because this is who she is & she doesn’t put much thought into what everyone else says if she makes up her mind regarding something. Ambar met Rakshi & found out all the problems that her friend was facing but just when she realized that Saiqa was in no mood for a legal fight to bring justice to her dead daughter, Ambar suggested that Rakshi, along with her mother & sister should move to a new apartment because their lives were at stake in that area. Even though Muneeza, Talha & Shabana, everyone opposed Ambar, she knew she had to do something for her friend & that is why she asked for Mansoor’s help because she knew that her father will never say no to her.
Rakhsi not only got a new place to live because of Ambar’s help, but because of her referral, Rakhsi scored a job as Mansoor’s secretary. Mansoor has started doing everything that Haroon Kamal tells him to do. Haroon Kamal is trying to turn Mansoor into someone exactly like himself, that is why he is not only teaching him how to be independent but slowly & steadily, Haroon intends to turn Mansoor into a ruthless & practical businessman. Seems like Haroon’s influence has started to affect Mansoor & Masood’s lives, but at the moment it is Masood who can see what is happening whereas Mansoor is unaware of the difficulties he will end up facing by letting go of his brother & nephew’s hand on Haroon Kamal’s suggestion.
Talha has taken his friendship with Aneela a notch higher, that is why he has started to meet her & her mother, without any good reason. It seems that Talha has started taking Aneela’s company as an escape from Ambar’s tantrums & dictatorship & he has started finding solace in Aneela. Even though Talha might not say it, but deep down he has started to see how dominating Ambar is & how spoiled she is to some extent too. Talha loves Ambar but it is so obvious that he is tired of keeping up with her orders. Even though Ambar & Talha always believed in trusting each other completely, the way Talha hid the fact that he was at Aneela’s place was the first step that he took in breaking Ambar’s trust. I like Ambar’s nature for the fact that she is just the way she is, she is not conniving or manipulative or she doesn’t believe in hurting other people whereas all the people around her are exactly like that & to some extent Talha as well because he is not being honest about his & Aneela’s friendship. People find easy to judge someone like Ambar whereas she is far better than those who believe in ruining people’s lives or who strive to achieve something that belongs to someone else!
Haroon Kamal still seems interested in Ambar but I loved the way she didn’t sugarcoat her feelings & let him know what she thought of him. I am sure this won’t stop Haroon Kamal from making advances at her because he believes in getting what he likes. It seems that Rakshi has made quite an impression on Mansoor, due to her hard-work & sincerity towards the job. I like the fact that even though Rakshi knows that by having Ambar by her side, things will never go wrong but she is not exploiting the kindness & generosity of her friend or her father. Rakshi didn’t share her emotional baggage with Mansoor until he asked & that’s when she saw that even he walked an extra mile to help her & make her feel secure.
Things are going pretty smooth in this drama & even though I see a little tweaking in the original story, I am definitely liking what I am watching. I must say that the girl who has played the character of Ambar has done a brilliant job in terms of acting. Even though the rest of the cast has done an amazing job too but I feel that Ambar’s character had to be portrayed a certain way & it feels that the actress has owned this character a 100% & has done justice to it every step of the way. I feel that the way Ambar’s character has been projected so far, you can’t dislike her for who she is because you understand her honesty & her loyalty towards the people she loves, which is commendable. I must also add that I am liking the director’s approach in unfolding the story, it seems that he knows what needs to be shown at what time & he is doing just exactly that. I like that they have so many stories & tracks in this drama because with every change in the scene, the entire story changes which keeps your interest alive while watching the episode. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode & I am sure you guys did too, so please don’t forget to share your thoughts about this episode of Thora Sa Aasman.

This video is about divorces being shown in dramas very frequently. Producers should avoid showing divorces because it leaves a bad impact on our society.
So this episode revealed to us in detail what Sikander has been planning. On the other hand, Bari Sahab has plans too for Mannat. While the elders plan and scheme, the younger generation is used as pawns and is at the mercy of their plans. I could relate to Mannat’s fear when she wondered why Bari Sahab wanted to keep mum about Mannat’s pregnancy and what she in mind for her baby. Bari Sahab does not want Sikander to know Mannat is pregnant with his heir and she wants to give him no chance to be able to have any continued relations with them.
Samjhotay kamzor laug kia kartay hain, hum sirf hukkum daitay hain. Bari Sahab has been indulgent with Shahzeb but she is fast losing patience with him now and is beginning to be disgusted with the way he thinks and longs to handle the whole situation. Bari Sahab is ruthless and it is how she has raised her son Jahanzeb as well. Where she is shaken and will stop at nothing to save him from death, she also takes great pride in the fact that he murdered Sajjad to avenge his daughter’s honor. Bari Sahab’s words to Shahzeb ‘mein bhool jawaan gee keh meray do puttar hain’ had Shahzeb reduced to tears and even me shaking my head in disgust. He may mean well but it is clear that Sikander will not listen to any reason or persuasion to let things go calmly.
The judge sentences Jahanzeb to death, something Bari Sahab had not anticipated but which Sikander was confident would happen. He now reveals his plan to his son Dilawar who initially balks at the whole idea but then begins to warm to it. Dilawar feels that his son’s death should be avenged by having his murderer hanged but Sikander wants to approach Bari Sahab with a two pronged proposal. Jahanzeb’s life in exchange for the four villages near the lake to be transferred to his name and Zainab’s hand in marriage to Dilawar. Sikander is hungry for an heir now and thinks what better person to present him with an heir than Bari Sahab’s laadli Zainab who can be mistreated as much as they want which will cause Bari Sahab endless pain and grief.
Bari Sahab agrees to the property transfer without wasting a second but her eyes shoot daggers as she listens to the proposal for Zainab. Zainab however presents herself willingly as the sacrificial lamb. Sikander gives Bari Sahab three days to think over his proposal with ‘yeh phool kis kay leeyay khareedoon – Jahanzeb kay qabar kay leeyay ya Dilawar kay sehray kay leeyay’. Sikander wants to hurt Bari Sahab and have her grovel yes, but he also wants an heir very badly. I can not help wonder whether Bari Sahab will now reveal the fact that Mannat is expecting Sikander’s grandchild. Will she let Zainab marry Dilawar to free Jahanzeb or will she somehow use Mannat’s pregnancy to their advantage? Or does she have a master plan to oust Sikander? Only time – and a few more episodes – will tell, LOL.
So relieved Alisha’s presence was restricted to just one scene in today’s episode – made the episode much more watchable. Last week’s preview had prepared me for today’s happenings so I deliberately avoided watching the preview for next week so I do not know what to expect. Asma Abbas continues to impress as Bari Sahab with her expressions and her dialogue delivery. Although I find Zainab constantly throwing herself at Jahanzeb a bit cringeworthy at times, I can not help but like the chemistry between Zarnish Khan and Kamran Jillani and hope to see more scenes of them together and really hope Zainab is not wedded to Dilawar. On a side note I would love to watch a drama with these two as the lead couple again. Any speculations/predictions about what Bari Sahab’s game will be now? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Prior to Momina’s engagement she rejected all the news regarding her expected engagement and said that these are rumors. But now the rumors have turned out to be true and the lady is officially committed.
In reaction to Momina’s engagement few fans are happy but some are really disappointed , have alook how twitter reacted.
It seems that India not only wants to ban Bollywood films having Pakistani stars but also Pakistani dramas.
The Zee Chairman Dr Subhash Chandra mentioned in few tweets that there are chances of revising the programming schedule of Zindagi TV channel which will be free of Pakistani content.According to Dr Subhash they are revising the programming schedule in reaction to Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s stance at the United Nations.
Dr Subhash said that it will be better that if they shift programming to the stories of Indian Muslims, rather than showing Pakistani dramas.
Zindagi is a Zee networks’ Hindi-Urdu entertainment television channel that shows programs of numerous countries like Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt. This channel has really multiplied the number of fans of Pakistani celebrities and dramas, as it has aired drams like Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar hai.
India can send our artist back and can also decide on banning our dramas. When are we (Showbiz Industry + Government) going to change our preferences and policies?
Do share with us , do you as an audience to Indian content feel that it should be banned now?
Secretly perform marriage: The wife started beating newly married bridegroom
The nationalist party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is speaking out loud that they want the Pakistani stars to leave India.
According to the Indian Express the film workers association of Raj Thackeray’s party have given the final warning to the Pakistani stars to leave India in next 48-hours. The party members also made this very clear that if the stars will not leave them self they will make them do that forcefully.
“We gave a 48 hours deadline to Pakistani actors and artists to leave India or MNS will push them out,” said Amey Khopkar, MNS Chitrapat Sena.
Due to the increasing tension between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir issue, some of the Indians have started speaking about the artists very rudely. Previously an Indian Journalist wrote a very harsh letter to Fawad Khan. However, some of the Indian disagree with such idea of banning Pakistani stars in India and also wrote a counter letter stating that Fawad is not a politician but a star.
This isn’t the first time Fawad and co have received threats from India’s nationalist parties. In October last year, Shiv Sena activists had threatened Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan.
Lets see what decision our stars take over the prevailing issue.
Lately Fawad Khan has done the TVC for the brand “Bold Life”. Fawad Khan’s new TVC is full of his charismatic personality. The star looks completely alluring in the TVC. Fawad’s style gives the message that he is the right choice for the advertisement.

When Shehzad Roy sang his romantic number “Tera kangana jab chankay” in a show and Waseem Akram translated the song lyrics to his wife. It was then Shaneira Akram got very emotional and had tears in her eyes. No matter that she do not understand Urdu that well but she got really touched by the way Shehzad sang and her husband explained lyrics to her.

A party which was themed around surrealism also held a red carpet. As the party was all about art and innovation. The celebrities who were the part of the party also experimented with their looks and dressing. Have a look at the pictures and let us know whom do you like the most.
Aiman and Manal Khan; we all know them as happy-go-lucky, peppy, bright and ‘innocent’ ‘teenagers’ who made a name in the industry in such a short span of time that too at such a young age. Both the sisters grabbed the attention of the viewers with their phenomenal acting as supporting actors in a lot of popular dramas. The main reason why people fell in love with Aiman and Manal Khan was because of their simplicity and rawness, which is rarely seen in the celebrities associated with the showbiz. What made people appreciate both these sisters was the fact that they remained down-to-earth and ‘simple’ despite getting so much of recognition in the industry at such a young age.
Recently, a couple of photo-shoots have circulated on the social media in which Aiman and Manal Khan have gone through a complete personality makeover, which is grabbing attention for all the wrong reasons. It looks like Aiman and Manal are trying to send a message to their fans and the people associated with the showbiz, that they are not the same ‘simple’ twins anymore for which people fell in love with them initially and they are ready to explore more options. Starting from their styling to their makeup to their poses to their clothing, everything is wrong and questionable in these photo-shoots and they have forced their fans to think what has gone wrong with these sisters? Unfortunately, these photographs of Aiman and Manal seem to have confused people about the image that they are trying to portray because it looks like they are ready to put the past to rest and are now emerging as ‘glam dolls’ of the industry.
Aiman and Manal should know that they have a fan-base of young impressionable girls and it is their duty to let their teenager fans know that anyone can be a part of the industry while still being simple and decent. It is unfortunate to see Aiman and Manal in such a light where they are ‘confidently’ compromising on their image to form a new one, which most certainly doesn’t seem respectful and decent.
One of the most promising drama’s of this season Udaari, held special screening event. Though Udaari is ending tomorrow but it will always be remembered as a hallmark serial. The play has fulfilled its purpose of spreading awareness among the individuals regarding child abuse and women empowerment.
Here are the pictures form the special event

There is a little more of Fawad Khan in this new trailer. Fawad Khan is only playing a small role in the film but he is very excited about this project nevertheless. This film is going to be about love, friendship and heartbreak.
Watch the trailer here:
When it comes to bringing life to the characters, it is pivotal for the actors to give their characters the right treatment to make them look different & also to make the viewers feel that they are watching someone & something new on their television screens. Experimenting with looks is a very important part of an actor’s job because it defines their vision, attention to detail & maturity as a performer. When the actors experiment with their looks, it depicts that for them, their comfort zones don’t matter much, but what matters the most is how their characters are translated on screen which makes them look versatile.
Experimenting is something that helps the viewers in forming a connection with the new characters as it allows them to move on from the past performances of the actors. When the viewers get to see an actor in a new avatar, they find it easy to put the past to rest & look forward to what an actor has to offer in the new project because if the actors doesn’t change their overall look, it feels that the walked from one shooting set to another.
We have a list of those brilliant actors who are always seen experimenting with their looks & succeed in looking different in most of their dramas.
Bushra Ansari:
Bushra Ansari is an all rounder who can portray any character assigned to her on screen effortlessly. Even with so much experience Bushra Ansari is very conscious about her look in dramas. In drama serial Bilquees Kaur she had a look completely different from her look in drama serial Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Miley because the characters she was playing in these dramas were poles apart. Similarly right now she is part of two dramas, Jhoot and Udaari and in both these dramas her outlook matches the characters that she is playing. Bushra Ansari also shared how much homework she did to make Sheedan of Udaari look completely different so that the viewers could easily see her as Sheedan and not as Bushra Ansari. It is truly impressive that even an actress of her caliber feels that she needs to put in extra effort in order to make her roles look diverse.
Ever been stuck in an infuriating board game where you take one step forward and then two backwards and despite the small movements, seems like you have been pretty much stuck in the same place forever? Same is the feeling I get watching Intezaar. Zoya has come back home and all is forgiven and forgotten apparently. Shariq asks Zoya’s parents for her hand in marriage and you would think they would say yes (remember we know of Saba’s existence, they do not) but throw in Naimat Chacha’s demand and Zoya refuses to marry Shariq – again. Next week’s preview shows that this obstacle is apparently dealt with and the path is clear for Shariq and Zoya – when another twist is thrown in.
I did not understand Zoya’s father’s hesitation over Shariq’s proposal. Zoya’s mother seemed to talk sense for the first time when she said Shariq had taken care of Zoya and been there for her when none of them had. On the face of it all, he does seem like the perfect ‘rishta’. However, he warms to the idea and speaks to his brother. Naimat’s reaction did not surprise me although the lengths this man is going to to keep his grandson in his home is not commendable in the least. Why was nobody able to point out to him that he could no way, by law, keep Sameer away from Zoya? I really wish we were not shown that Zoya is an educated and confident woman at the start for seems like Azmeer took all her intelligence with him to the grave! I understand shock, helplessness etc right after his death. Did not understand the inertia that was the stay at Shariq’s house. But I truly do not understand this mazloom helplessness. If she wants to marry Shariq – how can Naimat keep Sameer away from her? If she does not want to marry anyone at all then – why does she need to? Surely with her parents and Azmeer’s parents around to help with Sameer, she could go back to work and provide a life for herself and her son? Alas – Zoya’s mind does not seem to be headed in that direction at all!
Yeh ultay seedhay TV kay dramay na dekha karo, damaagh kharaab ho raha hai. Naila (the ever scheming Bhabhi – her name often skips me by) is truly one of those cunning bhabhis in our dramas and if it is the dramas that have made her that way then I am with Shahnawaz on this one, ha! Naila is beginning to get a taste of her own medicine. Her expressions are rather comical at times, such as when she eavesdrops on Shariq and Zoya’s conversation. Despite the whole suggestion being selfish and insane, for a fleeting moment I wondered whether Naimat wanted Shahnawaz to marry Zoya only to keep Sameer close or to finally have one point over Naila, LOL! A small part of me did feel great satisfaction to see Naila shocked and squirm. Naila demands that Shahnawaz divorce her if he marries Zoya – I did not see that coming! She is not wrong to want to have children but the tactless way she attacked Shahnawaz left a bad taste in my mouth. He has not agreed to marry Zoya and when a woman is unable to conceive, for a man to throw that in her face is in bad form and I felt that it should have been no different when the tables are turned. It just made Naila look worse at the end of that confrontation.
Saba was pretty much missing in today’s episode. Except for the scene when she is struggling to build a ‘home’ and is met with her mother in law’s disapproving stare at the end. What was she expecting anyway when she pressurized Shariq into this marriage? What were Mamu and Maami also expecting? That the nikkah would serve as a magic wand and all would be well? Oh well, I will not waste my breath on them in this review for Shariq seems to have forgotten about Saba for now while he continues to mope around about Zoya.
Naimat’s wife gives Naimat a much needed piece of her mind. What she said was so true – he has not changed. ‘Zabardasti kay rishtay khushiyan nahin laatay, khushiyon ka galla ghoat daitay hain’ and when she said she thought the grief of losing his own child would make him sensitive to other’s grief, it made me sad for her. She has always been a nice, reasonable woman and she only wants the best for Zoya. Her resentment and sorrow all came pouring out and the way she would bat away Shahnawaz showed how she had really been wanting to let it all out. Naimat’s expressions gave me the impression that her words have made some sense to him – I think. But we will have to wait and see.
The story has moved a bit away from Saba’s track focusing more on Shariq and Zoya. I think I watch this drama only because I started watching it and am curious to see how it ends and especially how Saba’s track is dealt with eventually. I am still struggling with understanding Saba’s mental state where she seems to be someone who acts her age generally except when she is given to moments when her past comes to haunt her and then there are moments when she seems like she possesses the mind of a 5 year old. The same goes for the dialogues – some conversations and dialogues make me pause and ponder but then like in today’s episode if I heard the phrase ‘pahaar jaisi zindagi’ one more time I thought I would go jump off a ‘pahaar’ myself!!
Shariq ki shaadi koi karwaaday please Zoya se. And poor Sameer – not once have I heard him cry, bawl or fidget and Zoya claims he has done her head in. Taubah! Is it just me or is anyone else curious what Shamsu is like? Also, is there anyone else besides myself who watches this show? Any thoughts on tonight’s episode? Would love to hear them!

Yesterday a party took place in Karachi “The Magnum Chocolate Party 2016”. The guests were constantly supplied with artistic movements on the ramp and Belgian chocolates. If the purpose of the party was to keep everything unrealistic then it was a big success. Everything was too exaggerated even if it was some sort of innovative art.
Last year in 2015 the Magnum Party was inspired by fashion but this time theme was changed and now art was merged up with fashion. The fashion event had collection from the famous designers, Shamaeel Ansari, Nilofer Shahid, Ali Xeeshan and Faraz Manan which was centered on the theme of surrealism. Everything was embodiment of experimentation and artistry and clothes were not all wearable.
Let us share few clicks from the event, do let us know how you feel about the Magnum Party this year!
Where most of the fans are excited to see Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Fawad is in mood to give double treat to his fans as he will be doing a special cameo role in ”MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.” Fawad will be playing the role of Virat Kohli in the film.
Fox Studios tried to keep Fawad’s appearance under the cover but a source told media that Fawad will also be a special part of the film. Sushant Singh Rajput a talented actor of Bollywood will be doing the role of MS Dhoni. Fawad role was kept as secret to give a surprise to the audience at the right time.
Now as that cast of the film is being revealed the hype of Dhoni’s biopic has increased after this buzz, which was really important for the film!
The interesting thing is that it is not only Neeraj Pandey who has kept Fawad’s role a secret even Karan Johar has kept the Fawad Khan role a mystery till the end in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
The movie is expected to hit the theaters on September 30, 2016.
Fawad Khan – Biography, Family, Wedding, Wife, Son, Daughter, Movie, Dramas
I find it amusing how these supposedly grown up people- Taimoor and Tooba who were engaged to be married are controlled by their parents like little, misbehaving children. Sadaf thinks she’s won the golden ticket by convincing the uber rich Fawad to agree to a huge haq Meher and not once did she wonder why this guy has come all by himself to get married and wants to expedite the wedding. Tooba sounds like a little lamb every time she belches “Maamaaa” and Fawad has developed a strong liking for her even though she’s not uttered a single word yet. Hasn’t he even considered the possibility that she may not be interested? Or that she is mute? Or is suffering from some psychological trauma that prevents her from social interactions?He came to the conclusion that she has no personality and he can’t tolerate Sadaf so why would he pursue someone who lacks a personality? What sort of a marriage is he hoping for?
Taimoor needs to tone down the melodrama- this dude has an accident and is still alive. Surely there’s got to be a silver lining visible somewhere. Instead, he’s constantly moping and sulking hoping Nurse Tooba will help his recovery. Instead, he finds himself under the care of Nurse Inaaya who is more than keen to prove her abilities as a caretaker/ wife/ therapist/ friend… Facing rejection from Sadaf, his parents decide that the ultimate solution for his misery and depression is a rushed wedding with Inaaya! Because marriage is the cure for everything.
I might be mistaken but there was a scene where Inaya’s face was scar- free. Was that a mistake or did she finally figure out how to use a concealer? I don’t get who’s responsible for styling these characters. Inaaya hasn’t worn a single outfit that passes as ironed! For someone who’s self- conscious, couldn’t the make- up artist figure out how to conceal her birthmark? Or couldn’t she wear a scarf? And what happened to all the clothes Shahana Phuppo bought for her new bahu? Coz she simply woke up looking like she does everyday.
Then we have Sadaf and her outrageous saris. And Tooba and her unkempt hair and uneven liner… You’d think someone who fancies herself to be a perfectionist would run a comb through her daughter’s hair!
I’m aching to know Ahmed’s success story- he went on a student visa, found work almost immediately and a fancy shmancy apartment and now he’s setting up his business? Did he find a magic lamp while he was down in the dumps crying over Tooba?
Aisha and Sadaf are more alike than they realize. Aisha is a poor man’s Sadaf. Both of these women are obsessed with money and that seems to be the only criteria they consider when choosing a partner for their children.
It’s one thing that the story is predictable but it’s another for the dialogues to sound repetitive. Many times even when a drama might not have something extraordinary to offer, the dialogues catch my attention. Here, the dialogues are a complete letdown- not that anything else isn’t! The choppy editing, weak script, mediocre acting, and substandard direction all contribute to a very disappointing drama. Despite the pace, there’s just not enough substance to keep viewers attention.
What do you think?

Dumpukht continues to remain engaging and keeps my interest intact. With the wedding looming over their heads, Kulchu is crippled with fear- Tahira’s lack of acceptance has brought out the worst in her character and the latest victim of her wrath happens to be Rabia. A simple offer to help with the wedding preps caused an ugly confrontation and a very unnecessary showdown. It seems like no one has any power over Tahira- she is unaffected with the knowledge that this wedding is being blessed by her Murshid Saeein. She’s certain that this is all part of a greater conspiracy to bring her downfall although the lives she’s hell bent on ruining are the ones who she should be most concerned about! Asma Abbas has successfully made me hate her with all my heart. She played a ruthless character in Janam Jali and at that time I thought she was the worst character on screen but she seems to have outdone herself by playing Tahira with such passion.
Bilal has been elevated from the status of bhanghi to a treasurer. Since Wali is Habibullah’s wingman, this is a cleverly conceived ploy to trap him and ultimately remove him from the equation. Wali has secured Habibullah’s trust and is now manipulating him by pushing him towards Kulsoom. Sensing some hesitation on his part, Wali suggests that Habibullah needs an heir since he doesn’t have a successor… Iss rishtey se apko gaddi mili hai lekin iss gaddi ka waris nahin Mila…
Jab woh dekhengay ke unka apna peer banjar hai toh woh haryali mangey kyun ayengay… Although Habibullah seems apprehensive initially, the reminder that he’s childless makes him determined to seek Kulsoom- Mohabbat Ki Jung mein Sab Kuch jayiz hosakta hai… Lekin halaal aur haraam Ki tameez nahyin mitsakti…
I was surprised to see Bibi’s reaction to Habibullah’s khwaish– it’s the first time I saw her appear vulnerable. Despite the power and authority, Bibi is a woman who longs to become a mother. Are her taunts merely an attempt at covering her emptiness?
It seems Habibullah is still in touch with his ex Beena? And this is something Bibi is completely aware of. I’m curious to find out about Beena- she’s married and has a child now but somehow she manages to stay in touch with Habibullah ? Or does he have these conversations in his head? If he’s still in love with Beena while being married to Bibi, why is he pursuing Kulsoom when he knows she’s not the woman he loves but rather his muse. Habibullah had been fascinated by Kulsoom, and is now obsessing over her but does he really think he’ll be happy with her?
Habibullah has set the wedding date but the way things are shaping up, it doesn’t seem like Billu and Kulchu are destined to meet. How will Habibullah convince Bibi to accept Kulsoom as her sautan? How will Bibi adapt to these changes? And how will Kulchu agree to this Union? Can’t wait to see what happens next.
