PEMRA Issues Notices To Morning Shows!

Morning shows have become a headache with the low quality content they air. PEMRA also has become a very useless organization as they only give out notices to channels which get back to do the stuff they were warned for. This time PEMRA issued notices to morning shows of ARY and TV One for airing indecent content. The notices were issued for airing indecent content in the morning shows. Seems like PEMRA has finally seen the inappropriate dances going on in morning shows. PEMRA said that the content does not agree with our socio-cultural norms.

PEMRA Issues Notices To Morning Shows!

Lets see for how many days will the channels abide by PEMRA’s notice because Shaadi shows can never end.

 

Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hai Episode 20 Review – Average

So this one today was a very very average kind of an episode. There wasn’t much that happened or much that was exciting. Same old stories and issues were repeated and while this drama gives us something very interesting week after week, this time atleast, it was more of space and time filler than anything else.

The emphasis of this episode was on Amber who has decided to take a stand and drag Iqra’s husband to the courts. Then she convinced Iqra to remember some of their mother’s courage and be brave enough to take a judicial action against all that Farhan did. Saboor Aly is certainly getting better in acting with each episode and despite having the most screen time today, she did quite well.

Iqra and Anum didn’t have much role in today’s story. Iqra has finally found the courage to be able to tell her story everywhere she can turn to find justice for herself. Anum is still confused about her feelings. She confides everything with Dr Jawad and they share a a very good rapport. However, when he proposed her, her tears show that she likes him but the issue of his first wife is haunting her.

In Anila’s house, things aren’t the same. This time Ahsan has reached jail while he was gambling on the streets and Sadiq, despite all his efforts could not bail him out for which Anila is quite angry at him. Maybe it is just the character but Sabreen Hisbani constantly fails to impress as Anila. The way she is playing this role, it could be played by any xyz actress but considering Sabreen, you expect her to put life in her roles like she always does but that is not the case here.

Fareeha and Shehzad and Naheed have the same argument and it ends the same way as well ; Shehzad getting angry at not being listened to and leaving Naheed’s home.

An interesting development was the meeting of Amber and Ahsan in the jail where he is locked up and she has gone for something related to her work but they shared mutual concern for the young kid behind bars, and since they have no way of knowing eachother’s identity till their families get to know about their interaction, it may be too late already. This is one plot worth looking forward to.

Saima Noor and Sajid Hassan again topped everyone else in acting skills with effortless brilliance in their respective characters. Naheed’s dialogue, “humain bhalay kuch na milay, us ko zaroor giraftar hona chaiay” was awesome. Despite earning het livelihood in such dire circumstances all her life, she is still more concerned about honor and respect as she always has been. Sajid Hasan is also phenomenal in his illiterate mannerisms and the resignation of this fact that the boy he always wanted was never meant to be and that is why he has mellowed down so much over the years.

Next episode’s promo showed some very promising plots shaping up. Stay tuned..

 

Iqrar ul Hassan with Family In UK

Iqrar Ul Hassan is a well known Pakistani television presenter and journalist. He has worked at the ARY news station for many years now. He started off as a newscaster at the network and now hosts a program called Sar-e-Aam where he exposes the frauds in different fields. He is a very hardworking man, as can be seen from his work but every once in a while, he needs to take a break from his hectic life and give time to his family too. Recently, he visited London with his family and enjoyed his time there. He seems to be having a great time with his adorable son and beautiful wife at different picturesque locations of the country. Here’s is a video compilation of the trip:

Zahid Ahmad with his Son!

Celebrities are famous people that a lot of people admire and want to be like. They are usually in the public eye all the time and all their actions are closely looked into and judged. This probably brings some pressure at being parents too. Finding a balance between one’s very public career and personal life must be hard but it is necessary. Zahid Ahmad is the father of a beautiful son. He might be a celebrity to us but to him, he is just his dad. If you think the handsome actors displays his emotions like a pro in the characters that he plays then wait till you look at the photos with his son.You will find true emotions , love and affection on his face, without a trace of fakeness. Watch the video below to fall in love with Zahid even more:

Celebrities who Are Performing Hajj this Year

Hajj is religious duty that every able-bodied Muslim (who can afford to do so) should do at least once in his or her lifetime.  Millions of Muslims from all around the world travel to Saudi Arabia every year to perform this fundamental of Islam. Many of our celebrities have performed this religious duty in the past years and this year even more are performing it, MaShaAllah. Religion is the part of everyone’s life and everyone is himself responsible for his good or bad deeds. A lot of people express shock or disbelief when a celebrity is caught doing something religious which is very wrong; only Allah knows where a person stands in His eyes. Judging a book by its cover is very wrong. Now let’s have a look at the celebrities performing Hajj this year:

Sarwat Gillani Spending Vacations in the Northern Areas of Pakistan!

Actors work really hard to make us fall in love with their on-screen personas and after all their hard work they deserve some rest. Sarwat Gillani decided to spend her vacations in the northern areas of Pakistan  to relax . Watch the video below and look how beautiful Sarwat is looking in the very equally beautiful locations:

Ali Zafar to Perform with Ayushmann Khurrana in Dubai!

Ali Zafar is the one of the A listed stars of Pakistan Entertainment Industry. He has a massive fanbase that not only consists of Pakistanis but Indians too. He has worked in both the countries for both music and acting and has managed to charm his way into the hearts of the audiences in both the countries.

Ayushmann Khurrana is India’s talented actor-singer who will be performing with our Pakistani rockstar in Dubai on October 27 for an MTV Unplugged gig at the Dubai Tennis Stadium.

MTV Unplugged is a TV series showcasing many popular musical artists usually playing acoustic instruments. The songs featured on the show are mostly officially released earlier by the artists.

According to gulfnews.com the two are expected to perform solo for 90 minutes each before jamming in together as the grand finale of the show.

South Africa, Malaysia and Singapore are the countries these two artists will be touring over the next few months. We wish both the artists best of luck for the gig, and hope that Ali will make Pakistan proud as always.

These days Ali Zafar is gracing our screens with his coke Studio 10 performance. Don’t know what I am talking about?

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm!

Zaid Ali Tahir, the famous Internet comedian is a one happy man these days. Zaid got married recently and informed about his big day to his fans on social media. He also posted his pictures along with his wife. People mostly congratulated him and gave best wishes to the couple but some people went on saying nasty stuff about Zaid’s wife’s looks. Some found her very young while others were complaining about her being simple on her big day. Some of the comments were like:

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm! Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm! Zaid has finally replied to the haters with a perfect answer and tweeted about how useless people’s scrutiny of his wife is:

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm!

Zaid surely knows how to slam haters with his quick wit and sarcasm. He has also pointed out a bitter reality of our society that how people become reckless and comment on others without considering that the other person could get hurt. Zaid has given a befitting reply to all the people who were needlessly targeting his wife. People should always know limits while commenting on others. We wish Zaid and his beautiful wife a happy married life ahead of them!

 

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 – Brilliant As Usual!

This episode had some important developments to its credit and even after 19 weeks, the drama has enough substance to go on for a few more weeks while keeping the viewers interested and engaged, unlike many other dramas which tend to slow down and drag after 13 weeks or so. The most interesting aspect of this drama is that some of the negative characters are more intriguing than the positive ones. For instance, even though Nazneen does not have a single good quality in her but she is the lifeline of this show and she is the one who always plays a major role in moving the story to another direction. Shahzaib’s character is likeable without a shadow of doubt and you definitely feel for him but his character is controlled by the decisions made by other people in the drama therefore it does not have the same impact which Nazneen’s character has. Also, Shahzaib’s character is more predictable whereas with Nazneen you have no idea what she will do next. Having said that, it is good to see Mikaal Zulfiqar play such roles in two dramas back to back after a long time since he has been seen playing the role of a failed husband way too many times in the recent past. Also, Kubra Khan is playing a negative character for the first time. Nazneen’s character is not negative because she is not abiding by the rules set for her but the methods she chooses to get what she wants are all wrong. She could have taken Shahzaib into confidence before entering into nikkah with him but on the contrary she is still bent on making him look bad by forcing him into leaving her. She knows he is too decent to tell everyone what actually happened which makes it easy for Nazneen to manipulate him.

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 - Brilliant As Usual!

Reena begum is also another such character which has tons of surprises in store and is constantly growing. In this episode Rina Begum went from feeling guilty subconsciously and regretting her decision to basking in the glory of achieving more than her predecessor did. Right now she feels like the world revolves around her and there is no turning back for her. The fact that she had absolutely no idea what was in the contract she signed suggested that Nawazish Ali might be using her. Chaman Begum’s constant reminders about the reality of the life Reena Begum was now living, fell on deaf ears since she feels that she is in control of her life now and nothing can ever go wrong. Nazneen and Rina Begum’s characters have a lot in common; both of them will go to any length to get what they want. Also, they put their own desires before everything else and they fail to see where they are going wrong. Although their backgrounds are poles apart yet their personalities couldn’t have been more similar. Ushna Shah was absolutely phenomenal before she took charge of everything. For the first time for weeks, she gave a performance which was unlike any other she has given so far in her career but for the past few episodes and even in this episode there were times when she could have underplayed her character. Also, I feel that someone from her background does not pick up a refined accent this easily no matter how desperate they are to transform themselves.

Baba Jee and Shahzaib’s conversation yet again was beautifully written and translated on screen flawlessly. The connection between these two has been portrayed so well by Qavi Khan sb and Mikaal Zulfiqar. Baba Jee always knew what Shahzaib was getting himself into but he never stopped him perhaps because he wants him to learn few things himself and maybe because he knew that he shouldn’t stop him from going ahead with something his heart desired. Whatever Baba Jee said today and the calm expressions on his face suggested that he also knew that things will ultimately work out in Shahzaib’s favor. I am waiting to find out how that is going to happen. Basit was shown facing problems as well. Right now his character has been relegated to the background because the focus is entirely on whatever Nazneen is doing to turn this track around.

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 - Brilliant As Usual!

Overall, this was another brilliant episode of a drama which continues to give you a lot to look forward to. The timeline however was confusing because Reena’s Begum’s track and dialogues like ” hamari shohrat asmano ko choo rahi hei” “is maheinay ek mujra kiya hei” suggested that at least few months had passed since Reena Begum signed the contract but Shahzaib and Nazneen’s track suggested that they had been married only for a few days. Other than that, everything about this episode was picture perfect. Right now Nazneen and Shahzaib’s track is definitely more enticing than Reena Begum’s track unlike before when I was tuning into this drama only to watch Reena Begum’s story. The director and writer of this drama in particular deserve tons of appreciation for giving the viewers something different, entertaining and well put together to watch. Am I the only one who is missing Shamu? He hasn’t been getting a lot of screen time lately.

How many of you watched this episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

PS. I am covering for Zahra, who is away for maternity leave but will be back very soon :)

What Message did Nida Yasir & her Brother give to their Mother on her Birthday?

Mothers are a blessing in our life and showing them how important they are to us is something we all should do. Mothers are the emotional backbones of every family. They provide the holding place for everyone’s feelings and do their best to keep us away from harm’s way. No love is as unconditional as a love of a mother for her children. It is mothers who teach teach us how to be a functioning adult. If they hadn’t done their job then we wouldn’t be making through the modern world at all.

Watch the video below to learn what is it that they wrote and who’s messaged did Nida’s mother prefer:

Zaid Ali’s Video With His Wife Before they were Married!

What is it they say? Matches are made in heaven. It seems true for Zaid Ali and wife and who could’ve known a girl who starred in one of his videos 2015 would end up stealing his heart and becoming his wife?

When the first pictures of Mrs.Zaid were revealed the internet went crazy congratulating the young couple, displaying their utter shock at the news and even calling it another prank from Zaid Ali.

Mahira Khan Slams Shut Fake News Regarding Her!

If someone said Mahira Khan is the queen of Pakistani Entertainment Industry, I wouldn’t disagree with them because she has reached that stage. Everyone knows who she is, respects her work and accepts that she is a real gem of Showbiz.

Any news surrounding the Humsafar actress spreads like wildfire in a forest and manages to become the talk on town within minutes. However, it is not necessary that all the news you hear about her or any other showbiz personality is true.

A recent case of a fabricated news was spotted on the internet involving her and Pakistan’s older actresses.

Mahira Khan Slams Shut Fake News Regarding Her!

The fake news was relating a feud that had happened between Mahira and Meera some months back. Meera had subtly criticised Mahira but Mahira had ended the whole ‘feud’ by saying that she respects Meera Jee a lot  and can never reach her level. However, this didn’t stop the news agencies from creating a fake quotation of  the actress,

Mahira Khan Slams Shut Fake News Regarding Her!

Mahira was furious when she got wind of the news and tweeted:

So apparently the local news channel Dunya news wrote about (or maybe started?) the news too and was quickly pointed out of the baseless news by the actress herself.

Dunya News admitted their mistake and apologized. Mahira Khan retweeted their tweet:

 

Yo Yo Honey Singh Sings Ali Sethi’s Praises!

Yo Yo Honey Singh is a famous Indian rapper and singer. He recently listened to Ali Sethi’s performance of Tinak Dhin in Coke Studio season 10 and couldn’t help but praise Ali’s voice. He liked it so much that he even went on to compare it with the legendary singer Mohammad Rafi’s.

Our world has become a global village thanks to the internet and it is thanks to this technology that artists can even praise the work of each other without having to meet them or arrange a call. The Indian rapper used Twitter to voice his love for Ali Sethi’s voice. This was the tweet:

Na Maloom Afraad 2 in Trouble with UAE Censor Board

Na Maloom Afraad 2 was scheduled to release on August 31,2017 in UAE however, it has been put on hold by the UAE film Censor Board and awaits clearance from their National Media Council (NMC).

The cast of Na Maloom Afraad 2 along with the director and producer had flown to Dubai on August 28, especially for the film’s promotional events but after the Board’s decision, all the press tours and promotional events have been cancelled.

Speaking to gulfnews.com, Usaf Shariq, Head of Films Division, Urdu1 Pictures, said;

We were informed this afternoon that the film has been put on hold by the UAE censor board and a decision has yet to be taken if it can release with some cuts. We are expecting an answer today. There are seven members of the film who have flown down here and we didn’t want them facing a difficult situation until we have clarity.

Let’s hope the film manages to charm the UAE audience when it hits the UAE cinemas after meeting their censor board’s requirements.

Na Maloom Afraad 2 is set to release on September 2 in Pakistan and August 31 in UK. Here’s the trailer of the film, in case you haven’t watched it yet:

Social Media Criticises Ushna Shah’s New Photoshoot

Ushna Shah is a Pakistani-Canadian Actress. She has started making name for herself in the past few years and has managed to gain a good fan-following too. But fans are not only what she has gained, a lot of haters of Ushna Shah are also found quite easily now. The girl dresses rather boldly, we all know that. One of her photoshoots was heavily criticised by our social media warriors. In the age of internet, it has become very easy to sit down behind your computer screen and let your fingers do all the dirty work.

Here’s what Sanam Baloch did when Sanam Saeed Was Missing Huma Nawab!

Few things have managed to bring such a smile to my face as the video below. A lot of us have friends that we don’t get to meet often because of long distance or some other reason. But the fact remains that we miss their company every day. Our celebrities are no different; friendships are just as important to them as they are to us. Hence it is justified for Sanam Saeed to miss one of her very good friends that she hadn’t met in a long time. She expressed her sadness for not meeting her friend since long and Sanam Baloch told her she totally understood her. They then discussed Huma Nawab’s (the person Sanam Saeed was missing) career. The mood of the show suddenly became sad but it didn’t last very long! Sanam Baloch did something so good that left Sanam Saeed glowing radiantly !

Many stars and fans congratulated the young couple and even gave them their best wishes and blessings. Zaid has shared quite a few posts about his wife and even declared his love for her in words (as if his eyes weren’t saying enough) in some posts. Zaid and Yumna in one word look adorable together. Don’t believe us? Watch the video below that contains pictures of his Walima:

Ghairat Episode 6 Review – Entertaining & Impactful

Ghairat continues to be interesting, engaging, impactful and convincing. So far, I feel the one thing which sets this drama apart from many other dramas which aired recently and dealt with similar topics is that it focuses on the reasons why even a girl like Saba, who is brave and intelligent would find it impossible to find an escape out of such a situation. Right from the first episode Saba has been shown as someone who tries her best to find solutions for problems affecting her or her family members. Although she was terrified of her brother even in the beginning of the show even then that did not stop her from speaking her mind. What I truly appreciate about her character is that usually the outspoken and confident women in our dramas are also the ones who land themselves into trouble due to their actions but Saba has been shown as someone who is intelligent and practical. Even in the most desperate of situations she tries to find a solution which is workable. In tonight’s episode she tried to convince her mother over and over again that she should try to find a way out because she knows that there isn’t much she can do in this situation. Iqra Aziz has been quite impressive so far, apart from her outfits and styling, everything else about the way she has translated her character on screen is remarkable.

Saba’s mother’s character is also realistic which is why even with all her weaknesses, I can’t help but relate to her. She is just as helpless as her daughter even though she wants to do something to help Saba. Her character also gives us hope that she might some day muster up the courage to take an extreme action to help her daughter and the preview of the next episode suggested just that. Samina Ahmed just like always has also done complete justice to her character. Zohaib’s character has also been etched-out flawlessly. He has to move to Islamabad but naturally he does not want to be away from Saba. You understand why he has not been able to help Saba in any way even though he has not been shown as a weak character but his limitations are easy to understand and you know that if he has an opportunity to help Saba, he won’t back off.

Ghairat Episode 6 Review - Entertaining & Impactful

Usman’s character is a true reflection of all such monsters who think they are god. He was especially terrifying in the last scene of tonight’s episode. This man has absolute no remorse and his own ego comes before everything else. Jibran Syed owns his character completely which is why Usman’s character is not only ugly but also horrifying.

This drama truly makes me think about all those women who live under such circumstances and it is upsetting to think that no one comes forward to help them because it is considered the family’s “private matter”. Relatives like Zohaib’s mother even with all their good intentions have to take a backseat because they fear for their lives. Saba and her mother’s bond has to be the best aspect of this drama, this bond has only grown stronger after Iqra’s death.

Overall, this was another brilliant episode of Ghairat which laid the foundations for what is coming ahead. The preview of the next episode was very enticing, definitely looking forward to watching the next episode. However I do wish that the previews would be shorter because they tend to give away the major developments in the story.

How many of you watched this episode of Ghairat? Do share your thoughts about it.
