We have been waiting for Meera Jee’s wedding since decades now. So guys here you go! News has it that Meera’s reception will be taking place next month (August) in Lahore. And the groom is!!!!! YES, You guessed it right! Captain Naveed.

Meera’s father Sarwar Shah told Express Tribune: “Meera has had her nikkah with Captain Naveed already but there was this issue of Sheikh Atique that sprung up; he was claiming to be married to my daughter, But he has not been able to provide any solid proof of their alleged marriage and our family wants to move on from this. The time is right for Meera and Naveed. We will announce the dates next month and send invitations out to all our relatives and family members.”

Previously Meera told Sohail Warraich on his show that she will be tying the knot soon and if the reports are to believed Meera and family are keeping the things under wrap to keep the ceremony from bad eye. Both the families are planning for functions right now.

We wish Meera finds her happiness and leads a blissful life!

Every now and then we all deserve to have a break from our monotonous routine, right? Whether it’s work, the morning jog, the diet you’ve been on, or maybe just meeting people. Sometimes we think we would feel much better by spending some time in isolation and keeping to ourselves for a little while. Well, celebrities might have a much more glamorous life than ours but they too have these thoughts. And it seems like some of them are getting into the strain a little too much. Recently, a number of our stars are campaigning to take a break by going offline and proclaiming to ‘Switch off’. It started off from the attractive promising talent of the entertainment industry, Feroze Khan, who posted this on his Facebook account:   It was a few hours later that Ayesha Omar joined in with him by putting this status on twitter: https://twitter.com/TheAyeshaOmar/status/882908483913478145 Mehreen Syed was no different: https://twitter.com/iMehreenSyed/status/882923014907731969 Hina Altaf too, followed suit and put up the following picture: But wait. We have more:           Well indeed it is a little alarming to all of us, but nothing we can’t relate to. However, we are most definitely inquisitive to know what could these celebrated profiles have up their sleeves for their fans and followers. Only time will tell. Let’s await and see!

Hadiqa Kiani’s talent and popularity is no alien concept to the music lovers of Pakistan, but this time the veteran singer has been reigning supreme with folk lore.

Wajd is her new project, about reliving Punjabi historical folk songs and she has amassed a hundred million views with its first three chapters. The songs were Kamlee Tha Dhola, Bhit Ja Bhitaai and Aj Rung Hai and they have been instant hits.

The fourth chapter of Wajd, Kamli, is a tribute to Baba Bulleh Shah. The other artists in Kamli are Steive George on the Saz Baglama, Baqir Abbas on the flute, Asif Ali Goga on the Qawaali Jori, Irfan Kiani and Imran Ali on the harmonium. The credits for breaking vocals go to Irfan, Sakhawat, Sharafat and Imran .The Sufi legend’s poetry, alongwith Hiadiqa’s deep vocals and her simplistic attire in the spiritual backdrop of Irfan Kiani’s music production gives the video an ethereal quality. You will certainly appreciate it, especially the tribute at the start.

It seems like there’s no stopping Mahira Khan from soaring great heights in the entertainment industry. The actress has already represented Pakistan in a number of events and award functions globally, and last night was no different. She was invited to the Beirut International Awards Festival 2017, held in Lebanon, which she attended looking absolutely breathtaking.

The picture above is her just hours before the festival, at the hotel, signalling at the majestic scenic view outside of it.

And this is her, rocking the red carpet with this gorgeous dress by Nicolas Jebran. Of course, Mahira Khan is famously known to make a statement with her outfits, and yet again she had us all quite impressed.

Doesn’t she look completely stunning? She was also seen mingling with other celebrities attendees who were just as taken by her beauty as we are:

So I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise to know that the diva was honored with two awards last night: ‘International Recognition‘ and ‘Best Dressed’.

The actress was overjoyed and made a humble speech of acceptance saying :

‘This award means a lot to me because we get a lot of love and support back home, but when we get an award from abroad, it seems like our country is getting an award. I love you guys, thank you so much!’

This is her, posing with one of her awards with the late Lebanese President Rafic Hariri in the background. Isn’t she just adorable? And below is a snapshot of her talking to one of the reporters at the event, complimenting on her dress and congratulating on the success of the award.

Well Mahira Khan, words wouldn’t do much justice to express how proud we are of you. Congratulations on the two awards and we hope you continue to honor your country with more global recognition in the future as well!

The latest teaser of Baaghi is out with a surprise for Usman Khalid Butt’s fans because the serial includes him as the second protagonist, who happens to be in love with Saba ( Qandeel). His role in the serial makes us dwell deeper into the love life of Qandeel and makes us discover the ordeals she went through in order to achieve her dreams.

The most anticipated drama has been in news since a while and the teasers are captivating enough to have us glued to our TV screens once the drama is out. The latest teaser shows a conversation between Saba and Usman Khalid Butt in which they discuss their love life and the aftereffects of their union.

Reassuring Qandeel of his love, Usman tells her that he does not care about her past or about her previous marriage and the kids she has. He assures her that he does not even care about her Facebook videos because he is madly in love with her. Definitely adds a new twist in the story!

Qandeel, on the other hand, is determined not to accept his proposals because she seems afraid that the class divide might prove to be a hurdle in their love life and that her past will haunt her forever. Saba’s refusal and Usman’s determination, adds to the suspense the serial holds within and we can’t wait to get a better look at it.

What excites the fans more is that this drama will be depicting the positive aspects of her personality and not just the negative ones and this will eventually give us a better insight to Qandeel Baloch’s real life.

Here is the teaser for you all to have a look at:

Naheed Akhter is one of the most sought after singers Pakistan has ever had. She has sung for many films and performed classical, qawwalis and pop songs. Naheed Akhter was married to journalist, writer and director Asif Ali Pota. Pota started his career as a feature writer and worked with many newspapers including Daily Jung. Later he worked as writer and director for TV and Film industry.

He died on Saturday 8th July, 2017 from cardiac arrest at the age of 55. He has left behind 2 wives, four sons and two daughters. May Allah grant him place in Jannah!

Mahira Khan has become an international icon. She is loved in Pakistan, India and even the Arab world due to her beautiful performances in several projects. She has made Pakistan proud across borders. The new honour she has gotten is at Beirut International Awards Festival where the beauty was called as an International Icon.

Mahira bagged two awards at the ceremony. One for International recognition for being the star she is and the second one; yes we are not even surprised the best dressed for the evening. Mahira looked stunning in a Nicolas Jebran number and made people go gaga over her. Congratulations Mahira on these recognitions and wins!

Agha Ali is the handsome hunk of the industry. You will be able to see him opposite gorgeous Naveen Waqar in an upcoming drama. Agha and Naveen will be seen together for the first time. Naveen has always impressed with her acting skills; this new pairing will be nice to see on our television screens.

Agha will play the role of a business tycoon. The story will show case a complicated love story between the two actors where Naveen is playing a girl next door. Saba Hameed will play the role of Agha’s mother in the drama. The drama is directed by Qasim Ali Mureed and is produced by Six Sigma Productions. It will air on Urdu 1. The name of the drama is not revealed yet but the promotions will start in about 2 weeks.

We hope that Agha surprises us with his role of angry and sophisticated business tycoon. Stay tuned for more updates!

Recenlty, Baaghi has been making the headlines everywhere. It deals with a very sensitive topic, after all. The pictures of Saba Qamar as Qandeel Baloch have been the talk of the town and we are all dying to see how she plays that character.

Saba Qamar will be starring opposite to Osman Khalid Butt in the lead role. But did you know, OKB’s role was first offered to Imran Abbas and the actor had declined it? In an interview to ‘pakistantoday’ the actor disclosed his reason to do so.

I’m really looking forward to it because it is based on a very sensitive yet strong topic and is directed by one of my favourite director Farooq Rind, penned down by Humaira Ahmed and my dearest friend Saba Qamar is in it.

Everything good so far, why decline the role then? Imran Abbas would’ve looked great with Saba Qamar after all…

As far as my character is concerned it was coming after half of the serial, that is why I was not really tempted by it.

That explains it! He wanted more screen-time.

I found that there was nothing really special for me as an actor to offer in it.

Did Imran just say that the role OKB has taken is one on the side-lines, with no real power and glory?

Any actor could’ve done a brilliant job, at times you’ve to take decisions wisely about your career. I want to improve and opt for the most challenging characters acting wise which has something unusual to offer, show my strength as an actor. if its just another usual character that doesn’t temp me then there is no point of doing it. Since I do only 2 projects a year for the people who wait for my appearance then I cannot waste myself for just another role because I look forward to such characters which are designed for me specially or fits me.

It’s impressive how much thought he puts to the roles he takes because at the end of the day, these roles are what make and break the careers of artists. We wonder why OKB didn’t think the same…

I wish the whole team of Baaghi all the very best

Yeah, he clearly wants no bad blood.

Noor Bukhari has had a tough year. She and her husband had a split recently and she is being swarmed with questions on the lines of the reason for the failure of her marriage. During the madness of such a matter, it is common for people to neglect their children. Sometimes parents think their child is just too young to understand the matter so it won’t hurt them. This attitude is what destroys the life of a kid.

Noor, however, seems to be doing right by her kid. She recently uploaded pictures of herself with her adorable daughter in Paris, totally enjoying the moment. Have a look:

There is a lot of heat among Pakistani politics these days but today we will show another kind of hottie from the family. Junaid Safdar is the 22 years old son of Captain Safdar and Maryam Nawaz. There have been his pics circulating recently and you can well see that the young lad gets an A+ plus for handsomeness and style.

According to his mother Maryam Nawaz, he has no interest in politics and would prefer going into the Army. With his looks and style, though, there is always a backup plan for this sher in the form of modelling, lest everything else fails. Here, take a look at his pictures;

As we all know Mehrunisa V Lub U released this Eid and the movie has been a hit as far as  numbers are concerned but on the other hand the movie straight up failed to impress many bloggers and audience too. Director of the movie Yasir Nawaz is not happy with the negative reviews Mehrunisa got and after not being able to contain his childish fit at trailer launch of Punjab Nahin Jaongi he posted this as an open letter to all the people who reviewed his movie.

First of all as you are calling the critics and bloggers teachers, the first lesson is you should never disrespect the teacher by calling them “Arrogant”. Secondly one should never be such an arrogant parent that whatever your children may do you will defend them just because they are your children as this will turn them into some intolerable creatures when they grow up (considering your film is still a child this advice will help you a lot in brought up). Thirdly we know that it takes effort to make a film specially in the circumstances our industry is facing right now. Don’t you think that is the reason we give coverage to your movies? Write about them even if we are not down right impressed by them? You are a producer you know publicity is publicity; doesn’t matter if it is good or bad and Mehrunisa has got it whatever you may say now. Fourth you agree the reviews do not affect the money a film makes then what the whole fuss is about? Yeah I know film is a child but in the real world it was a business project and because it is earning all should be hail and hearty. Fifth and the most important you cannot go on making excuses forever that the industry is new so come, watch and support whatever is being made because the same approach led to the devastating Gandasa Era our industry faced. Films from all over the world get criticised. If you do not watch news let me tell you on the same Eid Salman Khan’s Tubelight has been crushed because of low quality script and has got real bad reviews too. Mummy faced the same fate and it was a hollywood flick. Now the power; you also have got the power to influence the audience with the use of your camera and characters, you should also learn to use it in a constructive way. At last I would like to say that this time when the industry will move forward and InshaAllah reach new heights; all us critics and bloggers will be there to keep on eye on the quality so we do not fall back to same pit we are trying to rise from and yes criticism is constructive for those only who know how to handle it and take it in a positive way!

Shehryar Munawwar is a ladies’ man, that for sure. His good looks and charm sweeps away co stars and fans alike. After an amazingly emotional performance in Ho Mann Jahan, he is acting in first Pakistani superhero film, and has become very popular in its anticipation.

He recently appreciated Meera in a promotional event for Project Ghazi, declaring his admiration for her and his keenness to work with her, even if she is not willing to.

Meera jee, as active she is on twitter, has tweeted a very sweet reply to Shehryar, and she is not one to reject a friendly hand;
