Different Pakistani celebrities celebrated the news year eve in different ways. Sarah Khan enjoyed a night out with her sister and friends. Syra Shehroz too spent the night with her sisters and their spouses also enjoyed with them. Waseem Akram and his wife were at the Olympics Party for new year along with many other celebrities. Designer Asim Jofa hosted a party for friends and many celebrities like Sohai Ali, Sarwat Gillani, Fahad Mirza and many others were seen on the occasion. Other designers hosted different parties too and invited the celebrities who are close to them. Atif Aslam posted a picture of himself with his wife and son in which they appear to be looking towards the future.
Here are some beautiful pictures of Pakistani celebrities on New Year 2016:
We reported yesterday that Sanam Jung’s wedding functions had started and posted a picture of her dholki. Now we have more news and pictures for our visitors. Sanam Jung’s Mehndi was held last night in what looks like her own home. The couple looked happy and smiling on the occasion. Traditionally brides wear yellow on their mehndi but Sanam Jung decided to wear a silver and golden outfit. The functions are taking place in Karachi.
Hmmm, that awkward moment when 40 seconds of of Lota Virus advertisement seems better than the whole 40 minute episode of Tumhare Siwa. This episode practically had nothing to be shown but they just stretched for no reason. I am not sure even after receiving viewers response why is HUM TV bent on making us watch this Friday Night Special. They should’ve done some editing & should have made this the last episode because I believe 19 weeks of this mind-numbing torture is more than enough!!!
Most of the episode showcased the flashbacks of how ‘happy’ these 4 miserable beings were together, which obviously made no sense whatsoever because the initial episodes were enough to let us know that they were close-knit. Like we know that by now because Aazar & Rania never gave much importance to Tania & Baber, who were related to them but they chose to go out of the way for Arsal & Samra, so I guess that was a done deal by now but seems like the writer & the director felt they hadn’t tortured us enough so they decided to add a few more bits & bobs to show us what these petty creatures were like, in the past!!!
All of a sudden Samra has started having thoughts about what sort of influence this whole scenario would be casting on her Naani, all of a sudden she feels her ‘kaccha zehan’ is in danger, which made me ask that where was Samra’s ‘pakka zehan’ when she was doing ‘pakki things’ with Aazar Bhai & the rest of her partners in crime? This drama defies basic sense & logic & it is sickening to see them justifying things that have happened between the newly weds Bhai & Bhabi aka Aazar & Samra!!!
Aazar must be living in a fool’s paradise to believe that his & Rania’s relationship is strong because all the things he has done when she was not around spell something totally opposite to me at least. His relation is so strong that he didn’t feel the need to call her once or tell her to pack her bags as he was coming to pick her up & still he believes his relation is strong. May I also ask, where was Rania’s baby brother in the initial episodes when she was planning husband swapping scenario that now she feels she can’t breathe without having a look at him? How was she surviving before then?
All the things Aazar said to Rania about how duty bound he is to take care of Samra & how he has some responibility towards her were a total lie. He lied so much that me made my ears hurt. Aazar swore that he can’t lie to Rania but each & every word that was uttered from his unwashed mouth was everything but the truth. Aazar is basically a sore loser & a spineless cheater who can not admit that he has actually fallen for his Biwi # 2, so in stead he tried using the bechari card to reinforce his thought process & his eager wish on Rania that Samra is the most miserable being who has ever walked on the face of the Earth & that is why she can’t do anything without his support. Aazar even tried to create a drama in front of Rania saying that he was ready to divorce Samra but then again he tried to make her guilty by talking about Samra’s lachargi, I must say, Aazar may be spineless & a biggest liar, but he sure has some brains & tacts up his sleeve because he knew exactly what he should say that will melt Rania’s heart. I actually felt bad for Rania that she fell for all the things her liar husband said because she still loves him enough to believe that he can’t cheat on her or lie to her, whereas he was doing just exactly what she didn’t think of.
The only good thing about this episode was that Tania & Baber were nowhere to be seen, at least the percentage of torture was lessened by .05%. I think this is more than enough & Hum Tv should really end this torture ASAP. They have been showing the promos of some upcoming dramas, so I guess they need to edit the remaining parts of this drama & finish it off quickly. Also, my piece of advice to the writer would be that he shouldn’t put too much pressure on his small brain to come up with such hideous scripts because we are better off without his work & Pakistani drama industry surely can survive without his sincere contribution. Please share your thoughts & please tell me that this piece of crap of ending next week?
The Indian government has finally accepted the request of Adnan Sami Khan for Indian citizenship. Adnan will surrender his Pakistani passport to receive the Indian citizenship.
It was the second request of Adnan Sami Khan, his first request was rejected by the Indian government after which Adnan filed a new request in 2015.
Adnan has thanked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well.
Sanam Jung went on a holiday from her Morning Show last week and she announced that she was going to be back after she gets married. Sanam Jung also said that her mother wanted her to stop wearing make-up before her wedding and wanted her to have a no make-up look on her mayon and mehndi. Sanam Jung jokingly said that if she does that, it will scare her future mother-in-law away and she will refuse to marry her son with her. Sanam Jung is one of the most liked hosts and actresses of recent times. People who are young especially like her innocent looks and style. Sanam Jung also lost a lot of weight before getting married.
One of Sanam Jung’s pictures in a mayon get up is being circulated on the web which shows that just like she said, she did not go for a no make-up look but looks beautiful as usual. It also shows that the wedding functions have started and very soon we will be seeing her in a bridal get up.
After conquering the world of morning shows, game shows, religious shows, ramzan transmission and designer lawn now famous media personality Aamir Liaqut Hussain is venturing into a new avenue.
As per Urdu Daily Jang (12 December 2015), Aamir Liaqut Hussain has accepted an offer from film director and producer Syed Noor for one of his upcoming film. He accepted the offer in his own morning show, which Syed Noor was attending as a guest. As per Urdu Daily Jang, Syed Noor has crafted a special role for a preacher and spiritual person and Aamir Liaqut Hussain is a perfect fit for this role. Aamir Liaqut Hussain accepted the offer for this proposed role, though the name and the other cast of the film is yet to be made public.
About Syed Noor
Syed Noor has been a prominent film director, producer and writer. He started his career in late 1976 by writing the film Society Girl which was a hit. Syed Noor continued writing the films throughout 1980s and in 1993 directed his first film Qasam which was a semi hit. After Qasam, Jeeva in 1994 directed by Syed Noor proved super hit especially its music is still popular. The success of Jeeva in 1994 resulted in a short lived revival of the Urdu cinema which lasted till 2000. Jeeva was followed by Chor Machaye Shor (1995), Sargam (1995), Hawaien (1996), Ghoongat (1996), Deewane Tere Pyar Ke (1997), Sangam (1997) are his famous Urdu movies.
In 1996 Syed Noor introduced the superhit heroine of Punjabi Cinema, Saima in Urdu films with a side role in his film Ghoonghat from 1998 onwards Saima was the heroine of all of his films. After the success in Urdu films, Syed Noor experimented by directing a Punjabi film Choorian in 1998. Choorian proved the most successful Punjabi film in the history of Punjabi cinema which earned nearly 20 crore in 1998. After Choorian, Syed Noor only casted Saima as a heroine in all his upcoming Punjabi and Urdu films. Since 1998, no Urdu film of Syed Noor has proved successful however few of his Punjabi films did splendid business like Budha Gujjar (2002) and Majajan (2006). In 2005, Syed Noor and Saima declared their marriage.
Syed Noor has launched the career of many artists like Resham (Jeeva in 1995), Babar Ali (Jeeva in 1995), Moammar Rana (Deewane Tere Pyar Ke in 1997).He relaunched the career of Shaan with the powerful roles of Ghoonghat (1996) and Sangam (1997). He also revived the career of Saima in Urdu films in 1996, which otherwise was nearly out of Punjabi films due to the death of Sultan Rahi the towering figure of the Punjabi cinema.
Adnan Sami Khan is in the limelight once again in the Pakistani media but not for good reasons. His citizenship of Pakistan was cancelled because of his statement in a letter to Indian official in which he said that he did not want a green passport. In a letter to the Indian officials he wrote,
“I don’t need the green passport anymore. I have found my home in India.”
Adnan Sami Khan was granted Indian citizenship which will be effective from today. Adnan Sami thinks that Indian people are very tolerant and he felt like he was a citizen of India even when he was not granted Indian citizenship.
Zeba Bakhtiar was married to Adnan Sami Khan once and they had a son together. Zeba was invited as a guest to one of Express News’ talk shows “Khabardar” in which the host asked her the reason why this marriage with Adnan Sami failed. To this she replied,
“First of all, undoubtedly Adnan Sami is an immensely talented musician. But people have difference of priorities and ideologies. We were really good friends but we had different ways of looking at life. All relationships are based on ideologies”
The host asked her why she never thought about these differences when she decided to marry him to which she replied,
“You don’t realize what are a person’s priorities in life or what their ideology is until you live with them.”
People were not told what Adnan Sami’s ideologies were.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan arrived at the Hyderabad Airport yesterday because he had to perform on a new year eve function. The singer was not allowed access to the city and was deported because of “technical reasons”. India has special laws for nationals of Pakistan and Rahat Fateh Ali did not confirm with some of these laws. Pakistani nationals cannot enter India through Hyderabad, they can only do so through Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
Talking to the media one of the officials said,
“If a Pakistani national enters through any other airport, except the four metros, his/her travel to India cannot be recorded. Hence it is mandatory that they stick to the four ports. This system has been put in place to monitor the movement of Pakistani nationals in and out of the country.”
The customs officials however said that the reason for his deportation were flaws in his travel documents.
Every new year brings with it new hopes and aspirations. Different people start their new year in different ways. Some people who are realistic want to have realistic goals, the dreamers want to dream big and want to work to make these dreams come true. Then there are others who are critics and they criticize the things that were wrong in the last year and are still wrong while we enter a new year. Everyone has a different way of expressing their thoughts on new year. Some people just stick to a happy new year note instead of sharing their actual feelings and resolutions on social media.
Just like everyone else Pakistani celebrities too turned to social media for wishing their fans a happy new year. Some of them posted their pictures with their friends and there were others who preferred spending their time with their family. Although usually people in the showbiz circle are very social and they love to party but this year we have seen that some of our celebrities decided to spend a quiet night at home with family.
Here are some thoughts and wishes extended by Pakistani celebrities on new year eve.
This is going to be Ayeza and Danish’s first New Year as parents. It is wonderful to watch these parents spending their new year eve together with their daughter. Most celebrities go to parties on the new year eve to enjoy themselves but Ayeza and Danish look very happy spending quality time with their daughter Hoorain. Ayeza Khan wished her fans a happy new year and acknowledged the position her husband and daughter have in her life in her facebook post.
She also posted pictures of how they were celebrating the new year ever. Ayeza and Danish took Hoorain to a play area where she enjoyed the rides and time with her parents.
Ayeza Khan also posted her new year resolution on her facebook page which is unlike any other. Here is what she had to say:
Adnan has conveniently been relegated to the background and this drama is now all about Ayesha’s relationship with Shahwez. Watching a rape victim confide in her rapist and then asking him for suggestions or what looked more like support and help had to be the worst thing we have witnessed in any drama so far. Ayesha cannot confide in her mother who is a very strong woman because somehow she feels that Shahwez is the only one who will have a solution to her problem. Wasn’t it bad enough that this person violated her in the worst way possible, now the viewers have to watch her relying on him as well. Who is the real victim here? Shahwez, Ayesha, Adnan or Sangat? Sangat has practically been disowned by everyone. Ayesha is not thinking about getting her daughter treated but she is still thinking of ways to get rid of this child. It is just plain sad how the status of a mother in this drama has been turned into a monster who is capable of thinking about everyone else except their own child. Why couldn’t Ayesha dedicate her life to Sangat? If “that room” reminds Shahwez of what he did to Ayesha howcome Sangat does not remind him of how he violated her since she was a direct outcome of that act??? Is the writer trying to show that Shahwez is a better human being than Adnan and Ayesha because he is willing to accept a child no one else is willing to take responsibility for?
One more question…..Was Sangat’s illness used only to take the story forward? And now that it serves no purpose, there is absolutely no mention of her illness. When Ayesha was at her in laws’ house, every other day Sangat used to end up in the hospital and now all of a sudden she is steady and there is hardly ever any mention of her illness. The conversation between Shahwez and Ayesha after she convinced him not to kill himself was just plain shocking. It was like a conversation between two prisoners who were locked in a cell together and no one could understand their situation better than the two of them!!! Soul mates? Is that the other word for such people?? While Ayesha told her mother off by making her realize that all the degrees she had, had failed to ‘enlighten’ her in any way, it seems like she has stopped judging Shahwez altogether. The dirty looks and the mean lines spoken by Ayesha every now and then mean absolutely nothing when her actions convey something completely different.
This will be my last review of Sangat because I have had enough of watching a rape victim being ridiculed to the extreme. I would like to tell the writer of this drama that a woman does not always need a man in her life to survive. Also next time you sit down to pen a script please remember that a rape victim cannot have a normal relationship with her rapist even if she is unfortunate enough to be the mother of his child. Ayesha had much better options to save Sangat and to put herself out of her misery than relying on her rapist. Slowly, the writer is trying his best to convince the viewers that even though Shahwez is a rapist he is the only person right now who can protect both Sangat and Ayesha since he “loves” them both! Sorry, I am not buying this twisted logic at all! Sangat has to be the most reckless and thoughtless piece of writing and the worst drama ever made.
Childhood is the most precious time of everyone’s life. Children are carefree and innocent. Some of our celebrities were born in families the members of which were already attached to the world of showbiz but others had to start their career all on their own. It is always interesting to see the childhood pictures of these celebrities. Some of them have completely changed now and it is difficult to tell that it really is their childhood picture but others still look exactly the same. Imran Abbas, Sanam Saeed, Annie, Sanam Baloch and Atiqa Udho are some of those celebrities who still have the same looks as they did when they were children. We are thankful to all these celebrities for sharing these childhood pictures with us.
Here are some unseen childhood pictures of Pakistani celebrities.
Asim Raza’s film Ho Mann Jahaan will hit the cinema houses not only in Pakistan but also internationally tomorrow. People are very excited for the film and so are the team members who worked very hard on the film. The team of Ho Mann Jahaan has been promoting the film for over a month now and even now they are busy hosting and being part of premiers in different cities. Asim Raza said in one of his interviews that some people were criticizing him for using beautiful faces to attract the attention of the people. He said that everyone wanted to see beautiful faces, everyone likes them so why not?
After Lahore the film was premiered in Karachi. The premier in Karachi was a much bigger affair than the one in Lahore because most of the showbiz personalities are settled in Karachi. Even Pervaiz Musharraf was seen endorsing the film. He has never been seen in any of the other film premiers. Mahira Khan wore a very formal golden dress. Sonia Jehan looked stylish in a black dress. All the female and male celebrities were dressed up in formal wear.
Javeria and Saud’s daughter Jannat is already a celebrity because she is very often seen making an appearance in talk shows. She is a confident little girl who enjoys all the attention she gets. Jannat also came as a guest on Sanam Jung’s Morning Show last week dressed up as Cinderella to promote the film Cinderella which was going to be screened in cinemas. Javeria and Saud always celebrate their daughter’s birthday in a grand way. This time also they had a big frozen themed party. The party was attended mostly by family members.
Marriage is the most sacred bond between two individuals. No one can be as close to a person as their spouse. A supportive spouse helps build up a person’s personality and helps him/her excel in every field. Pakistani celebrities, no matter how famous and busy they get, they always feel that marriage is an important step in life which must be taken. Everyone tries their best to choose the best person as their life partner but sometimes people only find out after they get married that they are not compatible and that is when they decide to part ways. The good thing is that there were a lot more marriages in 2015 than there were divorces. All these celebrities who got married chose their own partners and most of them are enjoying their live together while they work hard on their careers too. Some of them had known each other for many years and others got married soon after they met. Their interviews in talk shows gave the fans an insight into how they met, which is always interesting to hear.
Here is the list of celebrities who got married and those who got divorced in 2015:
Sharmila Farooqui and Hasham Riaz Sheikh
Sharmila Farooqui’s wedding was a grand affair. The functions covered a time frame of 15 days. The wedding was held in Karachi in which Sharmila Farooqui tied the knot with Hasham Riaz Sheikh who is a former banker and currently he owns Capital TV. The couple is enjoying their life together.

Sanam Saeed and Farhan Hassan
Sanam Saeed and Farhan Hassan were childhood friends who decided that they wanted to spend the rest of their life together. Sanam Saeed’s wedding functions continued for days too. Friends and family also attended post wedding parties and dinners in Phuket, Thailand.
Babar Khan and Bisma Khan
Babar and Bisma’s wedding was a low key affair when compared to other weddings on the list because Babar lost his first wife in a tragic accident so Babar did not want a big wedding.
Shaista Lodhi and Adnan Lodhi
Shaista Lodhi’s marriage to Adnan Lodhi was a start of a new phase of life for her in more ways than one. Shaista returned to television immediately after her marriage. The marriage was a family affair.
Ali Gul Pir
Ali Gul Pir also got married this year. He did not reveal much about his wife and only shared some pictures of the wedding.

Madiha Iftikhar looked elegant on her wedding. The wedding function was held gracefully with close family and friends attending it.

Annie Khalid looked gorgeous in an orange dress on her baraat and she opted for yellow dress for her mehndi which looked different and attractive. Annie Khalid was very happy with her make up artist for giving her the perfect look. She posted on instagram, “You made me feel like a regal princess.” The wedding function was a family affair.
Mukarram Kaleem
Mukarram Kaleem also tied the know this year. He is better known as a host and an actor. Mukarram Kaleem’s wedding was attended by many celebrities.

Azfar Ali and Naveen Waqar
Azfar Ali announced at the end of the year that he and Naveen Waqar were no longer a couple. He did not share details about their divorce but made the announcement after getting a lot of requests for interviews together.
Ohkay so, this drama is showing a pretty decent progress in terms of story. I am liking the pace so far & I am glad that they have started to introduce new characters at the right time. This episode was a good watch too & I am looking forward to the next episode already.
Mana & Khizer are doing everything to make Zarri happy & feel a part of their family. I find their attempts very genuine & cute. It shows that they both are very attached to their family members & the elders have instilled these values in them very nicely. Zarri obviously feels that Mana & Khizer make a perfect couple because she even spoke to Mana about it as well but just like Mana, even Saleha doesn’t fancy the idea of their marriage as she is afraid that the clash in their personalities will cost them their happiness. Mana & Khizer are best of friends but they are two different people & just because Saleha has experienced it firsthand in the case of Maalik & Gul Bahar as to how two different people couldn’t make each other happy, she feels both Mana & Khizer will meet the same fate as they both are incompatible with each other.
I really like the difference that Maalik is showing in his personality. It seems as if he was tired of being isolated & Zarri entered his life at the right time because he needed someone to push him out of his misery. Who would’ve thought that the same person who didn’t allow a maid to enter his room would now especially make an effort to grab a birthday gift for a lady. Maalik knows he is capable of loving someone & wants to feel loved too, that is why he is now making an effort as far as Zarri is concerned because he genuinely feels for her.
Gul Bahar finally made an entry & the moment she stepped in, the difference between her & Maalik’s personalities was evident. Gul Bahar obviously is very dominating & she likes to have things her way, that is why she wanted Maalik to move out of the small town & settle with her at a place where she wanted to live but Maalik didn’t budge & that created rift between them. I found it a little odd that everyone welcomed Gul Bahar cordially & didn’t make her feel uncomfortable, considering what she has done & how they themselves saw what Maalik was going through.
It was a coincidence that Shehryaar happened to be Gul Bahar’s nephew. For now, Shehryaar fits the bill of the prince charming that Mana thought of, that is why just a few pointers about Shehryaar were enough for Mana to believe that she is very lucky. The very first impression of Shehryaar wasn’t as appeasing, so I won’t be surprised if he turns out to be a snob, considering he has a sound background & in his comparison, Mana is just a simpleton with a very little exposure.
Just the news of Mana’s proposal was enough for Khizer to feel heartbroken, which clearly described his mental & emotional state as he was disturbed. Khizer obviously loves Mana but he has never allowed his feelings to surface as he doesn’t want to make things awkward for him, for Mana & for the rest of their family members but this time around, this news was so shocking that he couldn’t keep his feelings to himself. Mana doesn’t really know the reason but I am sure she won’t pay heed to anything that Khizer would say.
I must say, I really like the relationship that both Maalik & Khizer share. Even though Khizer is half his age but Maalik feels at ease & comfort by sharing his feelings with him as he knows that Khizer is mature for his age & he would not only listen to him properly but will advice him accurately too. It was interesting to know that Maalik is over Gul Bahar’s chapter in his life & just because he could find some compatibility with Zarri, this fact also helped him in moving on. Just because Gul Bahar spotted her picture in Maalik’s room made her think that he is still stuck in a rut but the mention of divorce gave her a reality check. I actually really like the chemistry both Maalik & Zarri share. The things Maalik said about Mana & Khizer while being in a conversation with Zarri went to show that he really respects both of them & looks upto them which was something that I found really very sweet.
Overall, this episode was interesting too. I really like how they showed the difference between Ghaalib & Saleha’s thinking as well, where she thinks Mana is better off with Shehryaar, Ghaalib is a little more far sighted & he thinks the only guy who can make her happy is Khizer. Somehow I couldn’t get a hold of the preview so no idea what’s going to happen next week but I surely am looking forward to the next episode. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Mana Ka Gharana. :)
My wishful thinking clouded my judgment while watching tonight’s episode and for a little while I was convinced that Waseem might have realized how much Hira and Sadaf had done for him and now he wanted to do something for them in return – something that will make them happy! I thought, finally some character development but I was so wrong! After doing all that thinking and listening to his sister brain wash him Waseem has thought of a punishment for Hira and Sadaf both that will give him the satisfaction he needs. The smile on his face in this episode and especially in the end clearly showed that he had something evil in mind and honestly speaking I cannot even imagine what it could be! I am expecting the worst since whatever he has done to his wife and step-daughter is bad enough, I wonder what could be so evil that even after finding out about the picture he did not react but was happy that he had already thought of something bad enough to make Sadaf and Hira suffer.
Shehryar’s response to Sehr’s reaction to the news that her husband was her step-mother’s ex-husband did not come as a surprise at all. That is exactly what was expected from him. He does not take his relationship with Sehr seriously that is why he had no problem asking her to make up her mind and leave if she wanted to. Sehr decided to stay ultimately not because she loves her husband but because she does not want to see her step-mother winning in this situation. She is too naive and has no idea who is the real loser here! Shehryar turned to other women the second he knew that Sehr could not give him the kind of company he wanted – that is how loyal he is to her. Sehr for now is quite happy with her outings and is in denial about the kind of person her husband is.
Hira has herself convinced that she does not deserve to be happy. Making her father happy has been her utmost priority right from day one although her father does not show an ounce of respect for her. I could not even remotely relate to why Sadaf and Hira were so thankful to Waseem after Shehryar told him the truth because he held Sadaf responsible for something she had absolutely no control over and barely talked to her. Hira and Sadaf were perhaps thankful to him for letting them stay in the house and for not divorcing Sadaf. I understand why Sadaf would set such low standards for herself since she was married to someone like Shehryar before she got married to Waseem but I don’t understand why an educated and sensible girl like Hira wouldn’t know any better. I am glad that Sadaf at least questioned Waseem about who he was planning to marry Hira with.
We have three beqasoors in this drama so far; Sadaf, Hira and Babar. After watching the developments in this episode I am more convinced than ever that these beqasoors are destined to lead a miserable life. The other lot in this drama, the not so beqasoor ones (Waseem, Shehryar, Sehr and Waseem’s sister) are going to decide the fate of the ones who think that they do not deserve to be happy! The viewers were fooled into thinking that Sehr and Waseem characters might change for the better but in the last few scenes it was revealed that they did not show any signs of changing. Sehr decided she could not live without Shehryar and Waseem was even more sure than ever that Sadaf and Hira deserved to be punished.
Did you watch tonight’s episode? Any predictions about who is going to be Hira’s future husband?
Mawra Hocane’s groovy dance moves in the new video of a song from her upcoming Bollywood film “Sanam Teri Kasam” show a side of her which Pakistani viewers have never watched on the television screen. Television watching viewers have always seen Mawra Hocane playing simple roles. Mostly the viewers have seen her crying in dramas but in this latest song video Mawra Hocane’s character is nowhere near crying.
Mawra Hocane’s character in this video wants to know how she will act when she is drunk and when she does get drunk she sings the song “kheech meri photo”, asking her hero to take her photo. Mawra Hocane is the focus of attention in this video. Her hero tries hard to make her stop drinking but she does not want to stop.
Mawra Hocane got a lot of support from celebrities in Pakistan. These celebrities took their pictures, tagged them “Kheech Meri Photo” and showed their excitement and support for Mawra’s song video. Sadia Faisal, Maya Ali, Armeena Rana Khan, Mehreen Syed, Farhan Saeed, Uzair Jaswal, Junaid Khan, Fouzia Aman, Urwa Hocane and Sadia Khan posted pictures of themselves on instagram to show support for Mawra. Mawra Hocane’s brother also showed support for his sister.
Everyone needs a vacation, it brings a much-needed change in a person’s life and going away to another country especially if it is scenic rejuvenates everyone. Our celebrities work hard all year long and have to work odd hours in order to keep their commitments so all of them take some time off from their busy schedules to hang out with friends and family away from home where they can unwind.
This has been a great year for Osman Khalid Butt. He was part of one of the most hit and biggest serials of this year and he has been seen a lot on the ramp and in commercials. Osman Khalid Butt thinks that Diyar-e-Dil was one of those gifts that keeps on giving. His chemistry with his co-star and real life friend Maya Ali was applauded by the viewers and they became an important part of Fashion weeks this year. After working really hard this year Osman Khalid Butt decided to give himself a well-deserved break by going on a holiday with his best friends who are also celebrities. They are in Thailand right now enjoying themselves. A holiday with friends is always someone everyone looks forward to and want.They are trying everything from bungee-jumping to chilling out on the beach. It is good to see all these celebrities enjoying themselves.
Here are some pictures of Osman Khalid Butt and his friends Nida Khan and Ahmed Ali among others.
Sisters are the greatest gift of God because they are not just blood relatives but they can also be your best friend. Sisters are sweet and sensitive. The bond sisters have with each other cannot be compared with any other. Whether these sisters are the same age group or older there is always a special connection that binds them together with each other. Many of our celebrities too are blessed with sisters. They enjoy their sisters’ company and post pictures of them whenever they are together.
Here are some pictures of Pakistani celebrities with their sisters:
Dillagi will mark the comeback of Hamayun Saeed on television after four long years. There was a time when Hamayun Saeed used to work in dramas a lot but later on he got himself busy in production and was only seen in films. After a long time Hamayun Saeed feels that he has found a script which is perfect for his comeback. The script of the drama serial “Dillagi” has been written by Faiza Iftikhar and it has been directed by Nadeem Baig, the man who was behind the film Jawani Phir Nahi Aani. The drama will be produced by Six Sigma Plus.
Mehwish Hayat will be playing the lead in the play alongside Hamayun Saeed. The entire cast has been working day and night shooting for the drama. Mehwish Hayat posted a picture of herself and the director Nadeem Baig sleeping on the sets to show just how hectic the schedule was. Hamayun Saeed took the picture while they were sleeping on their seats!
Mehwish Hayat hopes that all this hard work will pay off. Here are some recent pictures from the sets of the drama.
Ohkay so, needless to say but this episode of Preet Na Kariyo Koi was intense, interesting, engaging, gripping & everything. I totally enjoyed the way things have been taken forward & the way they are showing how much time has lapsed because through that, they are also showcasing the strengths & the weaknesses of all the characters.
I must say, I respect Shagufta’s character for the fact that she is fighting her battles alone. All the things that Zareena told her were grave but still not enough to shake Shagufta’s ground because she is one determined lady. Shagufta knows that no matter what it takes, she should never quit trying because at least she will know that she didn’t leave any stone unturned & did everything it was in her might to save her husband Shams. Even though Shagufta wants to make it very clear to Zareena that she won’t be sharing Shams with her, she still feels bad for her because she knows Zareena is harmless, has nowhere to go & at least she is the one who keeps her informed of what is transpiring at Mushtaq’s side. The mithai that Shagufta sent to Mushtaq was an open declaration of the battle she was ready to fight with him because she knows that the one who is her biggest enemy & the biggest hindrance in Shams’s freedom is her husband’s brother Mushtaq.
It was actually refreshing to see Shagufta emerging as an empowered woman where she not only made herself financially independent, she chose to educate herself that too in that field where she could help her husband lawfully as well. She seems to having so much at her plate but the way she was managing her life with her new born went to show that there’s nothing that would hold her back. At times, Yazdani & even Suleri had to remind her of her newborn but Shagufta made sure to let them know that her daughter won’t become her weakness & she won’t let her become an obstacle in her way at any cost.
So, it was made clear that Mushtaq was the one who did everything against his brother. I know it’s a random thought but I find it good to see a man of his stature & personality confiding in his wife because usually, such men in our dramas are shown to be bossing around their wives or if not, they treat them as doormats but here Mushtaq keeps his wife closer to him because he knows that she will do everything for him & will stand by his side undoubtedly, which shows that their bonding is stronger, I know it is awkward but I like the relationship they both share, haha! It was sickening to see Mushtaq suggesting a police encounter against Shams which would assure Shams’s death but it was a relief to know that at least the S.H.O had some humility & conscience, that is why even he kept on reminding Mushtaq of all the evilness he was embodying & I feel it was strategic that he shot a bullet at Shams’s leg in stead of anywhere else because he knew that it wouldn’t cost him his life.
At first I thought it was also one of Suleri’s plan to get Yazdani in contact with Shagufta so that she doesn’t go out of his trap but then I reminded myself that the one who made her meet Yazdani was Professor Khalid & he obviously had no connections to Suleri. It was a pure coincidence that Yazdani & Suleri were friends & the moment Suleri saw Shagufta, he was reminded of all the plans he had in his mind in regards to Shagufta. Just when Suleri ‘only’ referred to the work that he needed her to do, I thought he didn’t have any other agenda but he proved me wrong because he obviously is thinking on those lines but is waiting for the right time to put forth it to Shagufta. Suleri at least tried to push his agenda by making Shagufta lose hope & by weakening her emotional strength by reminding her of Shams’s 7 years of imprisonment & also by using her daughter’s name but Shagufta chose to walk off as she could feel where he was heading with that conversation. Yazdani is a lawyer that is why he believes in doing everything in line of order but Suleri is ruthless & he knows he has enough connections where he can take risks, that is why the moment Shagufta requested him to arrange her meeting with Shams, he made it possible whereas she kept on pleading in front of Yazdani but he was too afraid to help her. Also, even though it was good to see Ilyas, I somehow feel he should have tried getting in contact with Shagufta to know what she was going through. Even though Bhola pushed her out of the house, Ilyas is mature enough to not only calm Bhola down but make him understand too. Also, all the things Bhola said were too mature for his age & I think he shouldn’t get even this much screen-time too!
It was interesting to see that the case against Shams was weak to begin with & that is why when the S.H.O attempted to kill him, his case got stronger & Shagufta used it in his favor to get him transferred to Lahore. Shams obviously had his hopes high just when he thought Suleri wasn’t around but the moment he learned from Shagufta that she not only met him but was working for him made Shams dubious at first & then a little hopeless that even after coming back, Suleri didn’t do anything for him. Suleri obviously won’t allow Shagufta to go out of his sights because for him where Shams is just a ‘bekaar cheez’, she is actually a ‘qayamat cheez’, which shows that for Suleri, Shams was just like a mindless minion who didn’t do any thinking on his own but Shagufta on the other hand had brains & wisdom that attracted him to her in the first place.
I loved the way they showed Shams’s transition where when he was in Gujranwala, he was still hopeful & optimistic but when he got transferred to Lahore after the shooting incident & after not getting in contact with Suleri, he was emotionally low & was feeling defeated. It is actually unfortunate that even after so much has happened with Shams, he still hasn’t been able to read between the lines. Shagufta’s discomfort at working with Suleri meant nothing to Shams because he didn’t think about what Suleri might’ve said that made her come to a decision of leaving his job. Shams should know that if he would’ve been so important for Suleri, he would’ve at least paid him a visit once in the jail once but he didn’t do that which is a message in its own that Shams is no longer needed by Suleri. The way Shams inquired about little things & directed Shagufta to take care of her veil went to show that along with his hope, his trust in Shagufta is getting fainter too & I wasn’t surprised by it because Shams was never the one who would think things through & he has always fallen short of the logic when it came to such situations, so I am sure it won’t take him long to turn against Shagufta because no matter what she will do for him, in the end he will hold her responsible for one thing or the other, as a result of his insecurities only!
So, this it is from my side. I must say I loved watching this episode & it actually looked like such an intense drama that I was watching & not even for a second my mind wandered because throughout the episode, I was only thinking about what was going to happen next & for me, this is a definition of a perfect drama that keeps the viewers engaged. Also, I loved the usage of proper & accurate Urdu, where they didn’t just resort to the word ‘practical’ but chose ‘haqeeqat pasandi’, also they chose to use ‘police muqabla’ in stead of ‘police encounter’. These are the little details that are contributing in making it a drama to remember I feel. I loved the acting & I must say, Adnan Shah Tipu has done a commendable job as Mushtaq & so has Farhana Maqsood as his wife, they both have given a perfect face to the negative characters & their acting is just right because they haven’t over done it. Hira was amazing & once again, she looked beautiful, I think she should resort to the no-makeup look like this one more often because it suits her the best. Ahsan Khan did his job well in showcasing Shams’s predicament as well. The direction is obviously top-notch & I love the pace of the drama so far. Also, it was good to see them paying attention to detail by using kids of different age to showcase how much time has passed by because mostly in our dramas, where they would show the time lapse of 10 years, the kid would still be in sleeping in a crib & would choose not to grow up, so thumbs up for tackling it properly too! Please share your thoughts about this amazinggg episode of Preet Na Kariyo Koi. :)
When Imran Khan and Reham Khan were divorced, Imran Khan made it very clear that this was his private matter and he did not want any interference from anyone. Now that a little time has passed, Imran Khan is willing to talk about the divorce. Sanam Baloch interviewed Imran Khan and she asked him some personal questions too which he answered very candidly.
Sanam Baloch asked how he felt about being so unsuccessful in his personal life although he had been successful in everything else he did in his life. To this Imran Khan replied,
“Nelson Mandela was a failure in his personal life, Quaid-e-Azam too. This is really up to Allah and there is very little anyone can do about it.”
Sanam Baloch also asked Imran Khan if he cried after his divorce to which he replied,
“I don’t believe in these dramas like Indian films I can’t say I broke my heart and cried! I can’t do that. It was no doubt a difficult time, a very painful time and that is when it is time for self analysis. Soul searching is very important when you are going through a difficult time. You think about what happened and you think of the lessons the experience taught you. That is how you move forward, you can’t live in the past.”
Imran Khan compared this experience of his life with all those difficult experiences he had when he used to be a cricketer. He said that you can’t live in the past and start writing poetry about it. You have to move on!
Fahad Mirza and Sarwat Gillani usually keep their family life private. That is why unlike many other married celebrity couples, we have hardly seen any pictures of their baby and they do not even come to talk about their married life very often on shows. While Fahad Mirza is a cosmetic surgeon but he also does modeling and acting as a hobby. Sarwat Gillani has been associated with showbiz for a long time. She is a model and an actress who has been part of some very important projects. Sarwat Gillani was also part of the hit film Jawani Phir Nahi Aani and it looks like just like many other actors Sarwat Gillani wants to stick to films for now.
Right now Sarwat Gillani is enjoying her blissful married life more than anything else. Fahad Mirza threw a surprise birthday party for his wife recently in which he invited friends and family. Sarwat Gillani loved the surprise. The happiness on her face shows how much she liked this surprise.
Mobilink’s print ad featuring Nargis Fakhri was criticized by many people because the ad was considered vulgar. People criticized this ad because no one wanted to see this kind of an ad on the front page and in the middle of their newspaper. This ad was printed on every Urdu Newspaper so it became the talk of the town. Even Nargis Fakhri said that she did not like that Mobilink did not keep people’s sensitivities in mind while publishing this ad in different newspapers.
Ufone is popular for its funny ads which are never cheap or vulgar in any way. Many times Ufone has directly answered their rivals back in the ad. This is not something we see in commercials very often. Products compete with each other but the competition is usually restrained. Ufone does not believe in restraint while answering its competition and people like that about their ad campaigns.
Within a week Ufone has used another smart publicity tactic which will not offend people in any way. Their ad also appeared on the front page of every newspaper but it did not feature an actress or a female model but it showed Faisal Qureshi posing in the same way as Nargis Fakhri and the instruction that read in the end was that you don’t have to be ashamed of looking at the ad in public was even more funny.
Here is Ufone’s take on Mobilink’s ad. What do you think?

Here are some pictures from the premier of the film.
The most important factor which makes a drama a must-watch is how well it manages to hold the attention of the viewers right till the end. Even if there are loopholes in the script and if there are some editing mistakes, they can easily be overlooked if the drama as a whole provides the viewers with good entertainment. Nowadays unpredictable scripts, strong characters and a drama that ends without being stretched is considered as a winner in everyone’s eyes. The viewers who are hooked on Pakistani dramas kept on watching whatever different channels had to offer in the hope that one of these dramas will provide the kind of entertainment they were looking for. But there were very few dramas which made their mark because most of the dramas banked on clichéd scripts and most importantly there were many dramas that went off-track because they were stretched.
In my opinion following plays count as must-watch plays of 2015 because of different reasons that have been mentioned below. The list is in alphabetical order.
Alvida
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Shehzad Kashmiri
Produced By: Momina Duraid, Humayun Saeed, Shahzad Naseeb.
Cast: Imran Abbas, Sanam Jung, Naveen Waqar, Zahid Ahmed, Mahmood Aslam, Sara Khan, Haris Waheed & others.
What makes Alvida a must-watch is its pace and an unpredictable storyline. Like all other plays written by Samira Fazal, this one too has some unexpected twists and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seats and characters that will give the viewers a lot to discuss. For the first time Zahid Ahmed’s performance in a negative role was highly appreciated by the viewers when he played the character of Rameez in this play. Sara Khan outshone in a negative role and surprised the viewers with her brilliant acting and screen-presence. Sanam Jung was seen in a drama for the first time after Mohabbat Subha Ka Sitara Hai and Haya although was reckless and immature but her character was far more appealing than that of Romaissa. Imran Abbas played his role brilliantly too. There were some loopholes in the script that made you question certain developments but overall it was a very entertaining play free of clichés.
It was one of those rare dramas which had the perfect ending in which everyone got what they deserved in the end.
Digest writer
Writer: Madiha Shahid
Director: Syed Ahmed Kamran
Produced By: Larachi Entertainment
Cast: Saba Qamar, Gohar Rasheed, Maheen Jaffri, Aiman Khan, Mehmood Akhtar, Sajida Syed, Parveen Akbar, Agha Ali & others.
Digest Writer was lauded by the viewers for a realistic script, characters which viewers had absolutely no problem connecting to and direction which did complete justice to the script. Digest writer was the story of Fareeda who had a passion for writing; her journey as a digest writer and later on as a script writer along with her personal struggles was what the story of the drama revolved around. The perfect execution of the drama won the hearts of many. People who were sick and tired of watching the same old stories unravel on their television screens welcomed Digest Writer like a breath of fresh air. All the actors were absolutely brilliant in their respective roles but Saba Qamar, Agha Ali and Gauhar Rasheed owned their characters more than any other.
Diyar-e-Dil
Writer: Farhat Ishtiaq
Director: Haseeb Hassan
Produced by: Momina Duraid
Cast: Abid Ali, Sanam Saeed, Mikaal Zulfiqar, Maya Ali, Osman Khalid Butt, Hareem Farooq, Ali Rehman Khan, Behroze Sabzwari, Tara Mehmood, Rasheed Naz, Eshita & others.
Diyar-e-Dil was Pyare Afzal of this year; it was on air for 33 weeks but even then the viewers missed it once it ended. Diyar-e-Dil enticed the viewers right from the get-go because of its breathtaking locations and a very happening first episode. Gradually the viewers fell in love with the characters which were intriguing and unforgettable. Abid Ali’s brilliant performance along with Osman Khalid Butt and Maya Ali’s on-screen chemistry made the viewers fall in love with the Aunn Zara jodi once again. The one thing that set this drama apart from all others was the emotional connection the viewers had with all the characters and the drama as a whole. The manner in which some very complex family ties were impeccably translated on screen was appreciated by the viewers as well. It was a story which covered many generations and showing all these generations and their relationships with each other with absolute brilliance was a huge accomplishment.
Mera Naam Yousuf Hai
Writer: Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar
Director: Mehreen Jabbar
Produced by: Sadia Jabbar
Cast: Imran Abbas, Maya Ali, Hina Bayat, Behroze Sabzwari, Waseem Abbas, Mizna Waqas, Taqi Ahmed, Ali Sheikh, Seema Sehr & others.
Mera Naam Yousuf Hai was emotional, filmy and had some very strong and unconventional female leads to its credit. Just like all the plays written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar this one too did not only focus on the lead but had side characters that sometimes made you connect to them more than the leading characters. Apart from some very impactful characters, powerful dialogues and smooth direction this play is one of those very few plays of this season which was not stretched at all. It ended when the ending was least expected with a twist which put a smile on everyone’s face. The viewers got to see some memorable performances by all the actors young and old. A deep and meaningful script brought beautifully to life by a team of dedicated individuals, Mera Naam Yousuf Hai was a personal favorite.
Sadqay Tumhare
Writer: Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar
Director: Ehteshamuddin
Produced By: Momina Duraid, Samina Hamayun Saeed and Tariq Shah
Cast: Mahira Khan, Adnan Malik, Sammiya Mumtaz, Sanya Shamshad, Qavi Khan, Aamir Qureshi, Farhan Ali Agha, Irfan Khosat, Rehan Sheikh, Shamil Khan & others
Sadqay Tumhare had some stellar performances to its credit, the viewers got to see Sammiya Mumtaz in a negative role for the first time in a play and she gave a spell binding performance every step of the way. Mahira Khan and Adnan Malik’s on-screen chemistry coupled with characters which were unusual and appealing made this love story much more than just another love story. Sadqay Tumhare’s script was bold like all of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s scripts and this play had some of the most complicated characters to its credit. Sadqay Tumhare is a must watch for all those viewers who want to see all the actors in the cast in some of the most impressive roles and performances of their entire career.
Feel free to add to the list and don’t forget to share your thoughts about the dramas on the list.
Nowadays it isn’t just the female celebrities who want to look fair but the males are also very conscious about their complexion. Fahad Mustafa once said that in Pakistan it was impossible for a dark and average looking man to get a lot of recognition because everyone from the people in the showbiz industry to those who watch television and films want to see fair men and women on screen. There was a time when getting fairness treatments did not ensure a fair complexion but that is not the case now. With the new technologies, the steroid injections can make someone very fair permanently.
Every actor who has been confronted about these surgeries has denied they got it done. When Mani was asked in a talk show if he got these steroid injections he said that when he used to do interviews in the streets in summers, he got a bad tan but now that he stayed mostly indoors his real complexion showed. Nadia Khan also asked Danish Taimoor the same question because there are rumors everywhere that he also got fairness injections. Danish Taimoor said,
“I don’t need to be fairer than I already am naturally. I was always fair, in fact what happened was that when you start your career they put on a lot of make-up on you. They used to apply 36 base on me. I had no idea how many shades darker I looked with that base. When someone used to meet me personally at that time, they used to be surprised to see how fair I was. Then I stopped using make-up. That is why I stand out because everyone else is wearing make-up and I wear no make-up at all.”
Nadia Khan said that doctors who were giving these injections to people were spreading these rumors saying that Danish Taimoor is our client.
To this Danish Taimoor replied,
“If I ever thought about taking steroids, I would have taken them for my body!”
Ayesha Sana’s video in which she shouted at a camera man for shooting her from the wrong angle went viral few months ago. It showed that when it came to looking good on camera Ayesha did not spare anyone and did not believe in compromising on her looks. Some celebrities also got together and made a dubmash video of Ayesha Sana’s behavior with the camera man. People are always told that some celebrities are very conscious about their looks but Ayesha Sana is the only one who people have seen shouting at others because she did not look good enough on screen. There was a time when Ayesha Sana was better known as an actress but now she is doing more hosting of live shows abroad.
This time also someone made a video of Ayesha Sana in which she is shouting badly and non stop at hair dressers who messed up her curls. Although no one is talking back at her but she goes on ridiculing the staff and also curses them. Some people shout at others for their mistakes and then stop after a few seconds or a minute but this video just like the last one shows that Ayesha Sana is not one of these people. She keeps on shouting until she gets what she wants.
Ali Zafar is very well known for his parties but these parties are not meant for everyone. He only invites his closes friends to these parties that is why we see the same faces in the parties ever time. Ali Zafar is really good friends with Fawad and Sadaf Khan, Bilal Lashari and Ahmed Ali Butt and his wife are always there at his parties. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves a lot.
A person can get all the fame and money in the world but his or her world would be incomplete without family. While every member of the family has a special bond with each other, mothers are more special than others because they are those people who are close to you even before you enter this world. A mother will do anything to protect her children and a mother’s love for her children is always unconditional.
Many of our celebrities are very close to their mothers. They keep on reminding their mothers just how much they are loved and they post pictures with their mothers on different social networking sites. It is always great to see these celebrities expressing their love for their mothers. Here are some amazing pictures of Pakistani celebrities with their mothers.
Sadia Faisal with her celebrity mother
Ayesha Khan and her beautiful mother
Shaan and his mother
Mawra Hocane having fun with her mother
Mehwish Hayat looks a lot like her mother
Arij Fatyma and her mother

Amir Adnan is a leading designer of Pakistan who designs all sorts of clothes from casual to formal wear for men. Designers of his caliber are always very conscious about which model they choose for endorsing their designs because people first look at these designs in the photo shoots and then they decide whether they want to make a trip to the designer’s outlet or not.
It is good to see Azfar Rehman modeling for Amir Adnan because Azfar can sport any look with ease. He always looks stylish and likes to experiment with different looks which is an important pre-requisite for being a successful model. This collection shows what Amir Adnan has in store for men in winters. They can choose from a wide range of jackets and scarves which are part of his collection.
Azfar Rehman and Ayesha Omar’s accident left everyone in shock. Everyone was relieved to know that they were both alright although Ayesha Omar had a few fractures but overall she was in stable health. Ayesha shared the whole account of the terrible experience in detail with everyone on her facebook page. She was also thankful to all those people who were there for her in this hour of need.
People were waiting to hear from Azfar Rehman and yesterday Azfar’s post on instagram along with a brief video showed that he was perfectly fine. Azfar thanked everyone for their concern and prayers and wanted everyone to know that he is fine. Azfar Rehman was a big support for Ayesha Omar when she was injured badly and Ayesha said in her post that she wouldn’t be alive and well if it wasn’t for him.
Here is the message he posted yesterday and his most recent picture from yesterday.
Maryam Nawaz is not just Prime Minister’s daughter but she is also a prominent personality in politics. We see her playing an active role in the political process in different ways. Maryam Nawaz’s daughter Mehr-un-Nisa’s Valima ceremony was held on Saturday and as expected this ceremony was attended by many notable personalities.
Ohkay so, this episode of Tere Mere Beech was interesting too. Even though the story has been quite predictable so far, it still provides a decent entertainment because the production value along with the direction & the acting is pretty good & also, the drama doesn’t have much loopholes till now, this is why I enjoy watching it.
This episode was all about Hareem & her mission of getting engaged before Nadia’s marriage. So far, we have had sympathy for Hareem because of the way she was abandoned by her mother & after returning to Nighat’s place, the way she was being treated, but now all the decisions that Hareem is making is putting an end to the sympathy I used to feel for her, because she herself is ruining her life. Yes, Nighat has been irrational & unreasonable with Hareem & there’s no denying to that, but after finding out about Fahad, not only Nighat but everyone else has tried to knock some sense into Hareem because they genuinely care for her but she is failing to understand that. Yes, it is too obvious that Hareem doesn’t want to listen to them because she hates them but that still doesn’t justify her stance that just because she ‘thinks’ Fahad is rich & just because she ‘thinks’ that her mother & sisters don’t want her to be happy, she feels like she shouldn’t listen to her family at all.
The way Ali & Nadia found out about Hareem & Fahad seemed very convincing. By chance they spotted them together & since that moment, Ali understood that something was definitely wrong about the whole scenario. Nighat obviously is a bit too distressed because of Hareem but I found it a little odd that without investigating much, despite having Ali on her side, she agreed to this marriage & didn’t even bother questioning Fahad herself. Also, I don’t think in this day & age, where everyone has an access to technology, it was too hard for Nighat to get hold of Fahad’s parents on the phone. It would’ve looked justified that Nighat did her research but she chose to listen to Hareem because she was too scared to confront her & also, more than Hareem, Nighat was once again concerned about Nadia & her in-laws, so she decided to get over with this fiasco ASAP before Nadia’s mother in law questions their decision!
Nadia is shown to be quite decent & understanding sort of a person but at times she seems a bit too desperate where she doesn’t want to upset her mother in law or Ali. I felt that because she suggested that Hareem should be married off to Fahad ASAP so that she can feel at ease as then Hareem won’t be there to make things difficult for them.
Fahad’s friend was at least honest about his job but he supported Fahad in telling a lie to Nighat & everyone else. Looks like Fahad is someone who doesn’t believe in hard work & focuses more on the shortcuts, that is why he thinks just because a girl from the sound background came into his life, he shouldn’t worry about anything else. Also, not only Hareem’s bank balance but what attracted Fahad the most towards her was her innocence, because Fahad knows he will boss around her easily & she will agree to whatever he will suggest & demand.
After this episode, I found Hareem totally wrong & at fault too because she is choosing to keep her eyes closed. Yes, she is not on good terms with her mother & sisters but at least, she should pay heed to what they are saying, even if it is something that is hard on her. Zahida is gullible & has no exposure but at least Nighat should have taken charge of the situation & should have done her part by inquiring about Fahad because Nighat believes that Hareem has no sense whatsoever, so I am not too sure what made Nighat agree to Hareem’s demands so easily!!!
Overall, this episode was interesting & looks like Fahad will start pushing his agenda in the next episode. Fahad may think that he is clever enough but he is being stupid as well to believe that Hareem owns a chunk of her father’s property. Just because Hareem looks rich doesn’t mean she is rich & this is something that Fahad should’ve inquired about too. It is an irony that both Fahad & Hareem are starting the new phase of their lives based on lies, not too sure what they both will do after finding the truth about each other. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Tere Mere Beech.
There was a time when people did not have much of an access to the private pictures of celebrities or those people who were at the helm of affairs. Gone are those days because now due to the excessive private channels and social media these pictures are accessible to everyone. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s grand daughter Mehr-un-Nisa Safdar’s Nikkah was held in Masjid-ul-Nabvi last year but her rukhsati ceremony was held in Lahore on Friday. The ceremony was attended by many ministers and other political personalities of the country. Mahnoor Safdar got married to Raheel Munir who is the son of the famous industrialist Chaudhry Munir.
Apart from family members and friends, many bureaucrats, industrialists and even showbiz personalities also attended the ceremony. Express News reported that 1500 people were part of the function. It also reported that there was only one dish in the ceremony and it ended at 10 which is in accordance with law.
