Danish Taimoor has shown his versatility as an actor by playing different kinds of roles in dramas. When Danish Taimoor joined the showbiz industry he had a very different look which wouldn’t have helped him become a hero of a film like Jalibee but now in order to stay in the mainstream cinema Danish Taimoor has revamped his look. The boy-next-door looks have been replaced by a more stylish looks. Danish Taimoor will be starring in upcoming HUM TV drama Shart but Jalibee is the next big thing on his cards.
You can look at these pictures from the upcoming Jalibee and decide whether Danish is hero material or not.
I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, life in plastic it’s fantastic….can you blame me for thinking of this song while watching tonight’s episode? Everyone Rameen meets loves dressing her up just the way kids like dressing up their favorite Barbie. First the sari, then the jeans and now the black sleeveless! Why couldn’t dadi … oh no ama dress Rameen up in the same clothes which she brought for her from the shop? The sleeves of the shirt miraculously disappeared by the time Rameen and ama reached the parlour and the frock was transformed into a very short shirt maybe by Rameen’s fairy godmother. I hate to see Rameen being treated like an object again and again instead of a living and breathing human being. Ama ko apna shok pura krne ke liye Rameen hi mili thi? Kya Rameen “bechari” is duniya mei logo ke shok purey krne aye hai;)
Rameen has taken a complete about turn ever since she found out what a big shot Shiraz is….vo mere saeein ji hein, un ki hur baat manana mere pe farz hai. Rameen really should stop worshipping people especially since she has a very strong faith in God. It was however good to know that Rameen thinks of Saeein ji as a father figure. The conversation in the kitchen between Shiraz’s mother and Rameen was quite funny! Shiraz’s mother kept on trying to convince Rameen that her son was not as old as he looked …bus khata ziada hai tu zara phel gaya hai bus tum se thora hi bara hai! Well what can I say, the dialogues speak for themselves!
Rameen always manages to find new rishtey wherever she settles, first she made a baji at the hostel and now she sees her mother in Shiraz’s mother. With a mother and Baji like Rameen’s she should really think twice before giving new relationships these names! Even after being betrayed by her closest family members in the worst way possible Rameen is still able to attach feelings of affection and trust with these relations.
Dadi made a plan to convince the kids and Shiraz just how indispensable Rameen was! The woman does not even know much about Rameen but she is bent on getting her son married to her. Shiraz and Rameen both keep on mentioning the police and Rameen’s “masla” but the dadi doesn’t even ask once what the problem is and why the police should be involved to solve it.
The preview that was shown on the facebook page of Chup Raho this week was misleading but the fact is that I wasn’t really expecting to see Manal and Numair in this episode! I am sure the producers know that right now they need to do whatever they can in order to ensure that people tune into this show every week and showing Manal and Numair was the best way to do it. The preview of the next episode showed that daddi asks Rameen to leave the house after finding out that she is already married and Numair asks Manal to find Rameen. Shiraz wants to be Rameen’s saviour perhaps because she is the best thing that ever happened to him ;) Sitting through a complete episode of this drama is becoming more and more tedious with every passing episode. Rameen still has to find out that her husband died and that is when she will come back to Shiraz and they will live happily ever after *yawn*.

Hmmm, after watching this episode, I am not sure what the writer here is trying to achieve. Looks like the writer tried to push herself really hard in order to come up with a certain sort of a story that’s why I feel a lot of things are pretty much forced & are not making much sense at the moment.
The episode began at a similar note where there was a scene about that Pakistani student. I don’t just understand what are they trying to show through him & what issue Saman has with him? She is quite an easy going person who always believes in simplifying things, so what is it about that guy that ticks her off? Obviously she is not that easy going when it comes to her life but when she is seen giving suggestions to others, she always sides with the most preferable & approachable option, so first of all there was no point of giving that student so much of a coverage & if they had decided to do that, why can’t they show Saman simply backing out frankly? Why do they always show her getting agitated at the sight of him?
Ohkay so just when Saman decided she wanted to do some cooking, she was taken back to the memories of what she used to say about a girl doing all these things & that’s when it hit her that she was just about to do something that she swore she would never do & just then she decided to start a fight & walk out of this relation she felt she wasn’t happy with. This was from Saman but what Omar did & said was another shocker as well. Why is it that his attitude always keeps on fluctuating? One day he’ll be playing a role of a sweetest husband ever & the next day he would come across as the most stern & rude person who only knows how to boss around his wife?
Saman decided to leave Omar’s place for good but the conversations that followed her departure didn’t make any sense at all. I thought she & Qasim uncle would be able to relate to each other & he will guide her through his experience but why is it that when she actually compared her situation to his, it just didn’t seem right. What Qasim told her came after a lifelong experience at which he held himself responsible but here, what Saman said didn’t seem reasonable as it’s been only a month for which she has stayed with Omar & she says she has tried a lot by giving everything she could to this relation, but is it just me or that never happened because I am sure if she had done anything of that sort, we would’ve been able to see it.
I really don’t understand why there are a lot of conversations that try to enforce the fact that Saman is ‘different’. She says she’s tired of being ‘different’, Rukhi thinks Saman’s ‘different’, the photographer she only met twice felt she was ‘different’ from all the other desis he has met & every single person around her says she’s ‘different’. So the point is when we already know that she’s ‘different’, why does the writer feel the need to spoon-feed this to us every single time? & oh another thing that I noticed was when Saman met David, she left suddenly without leaving any contact number but in this episode, she was seen meeting him again & also discussed how she has left her husband? I mean they never gave away an impression that these two people will meet again & now when they did, how come Saman felt so much comfortable around him that she shared her personal life details with David that too in just a second meeting?
I also don’t know why Saman is seen wasting her time. As much as I know about her, she was a quite a career oriented person, so why can’t she just find a job in America instead of wasting her time on the streets wandering randomly & then goes around asking people for refuge? Saman always wanted to be independent so now when the time is supposedly right for her, why can’t she take charge of her life? Why is Saman seeking help from other people? Isn’t she compromising on her rules now? Isn’t she herself living a life that she didn’t want for her?
I don’t quite get what Omar wants from his life too. I am sure if he had spent half a time on this marriage as much as he has on his makeup, his life would’ve been a whole lot better. Looks like after a failed marriage, he has indulged in self-pity where he goes around crying in front of people & backbites about how difficult his wife is rather than trying to talk things out with his wife directly. All he has ever done is taunt his wife for not being able to fulfil her wifely duties so why does he think Saman will budge?
Looks like Rukhi is going to get a lot more coverage because her track seems to be moving at a steady pace. She’s in love with David & he has proposed marriage to her. Obviously, Qasim doesn’t approve but looks like this will lead to a heated argument between Qasim & Saman, which will force her to leave this place too.
For now, I quite don’t understand where this drama is going to go because nothing’s falling into perspective. The main leads seem scattered brained & the side characters are getting a lot more coverage. I just can’t stop noticing how horrible the makeup has been & I haven’t seen Humayun Ashraf (Raza) perform before but I find his acting very very week. I must say Maya Ali hasn’t been impressive in this role so far too & I find her dialogue delivery very effortful. The preview of next episode suggested entry of some new faces & characters, I am not sure if they’d be able to carry the story of Zidd forward but let’s see. So far – so not good. Share your thoughts about this episode of Zidd please.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

Reham Khan is a British Pakistani journalist and famous television anchor. Reham has recently married cricketer turned politician Imran Khan.
As per Express Tribune, Reham Khan might be turning into a film producer. Reham is planning to produce a Pashto film nowadays and later an Urdu film.
The story by Hasan Ansari says
Reham will reportedly make her production debut with a Pashto film about Pashtun poet Khushal Khan Khattak.
Although there is no official verification of the news from Reham, recent posts on the Reham Khan Twitter account (@RehamKhan1) suggest it holds true.
“Reviving Pashto culture and history. For example, one of the films is about Khushal Khan Khattak,” read Reham’s tweet. She also shared on the micro-blogging website that three writers are currently working on the film.
Apart from producing a Pashto film, Reham will also helm an Urdu comedy film. Babar Sheikh, managing partner of Tiger Entertainment and spokesperson of the film projects, quoted Reham as saying, “Film is the only medium through which we can portray the real image of our society to the world.”
“Our aim is to remove all the misconceptions about Pashtuns in society through a light, comedy Pashto film,” Reham said, according to Babar.
According to him, Reham also stated, “The Urdu film is an all-out comedy based on a serious problem that our society is faced with.”
Although the production team didn’t divulge any important details of the film, Babar mentioned that while the Pashto film’s director is yet to be finalised, the Urdu film will be directed by Azfar Jafri, who has the thriller film Siyaah (2013) to his credit.
Verifying the news, Azfar said that he is yet to sign the film but has committed to taking up the project. The films are currently in pre-production stage and are expected to begin filming soon.
On the question of whether Reham’s experience in broadcast journalism will help her in the filmmaking process, Babar put forth her comments: “As a journalist, I have witnessed firsthand the miseries people face but also their wonderful spirit. I am inspired by Pakistanis and want to show the world who we really are – a loving, generous nation.”
She was reported to have added, “I have travelled to some of the most exquisite yet undiscovered locations [in Pakistan], which I want to showcase in my films. Pakistan needs to be shown in its true light. We have been misrepresented for too long. It’s time to bring our smiles back.”
Reham reportedly proclaimed that with her personal experience paired with a team of young and talented people, who produced the award-winning film Siyaah, she looks towards a “refreshing start for our film industry.”

Oh My God!! I must say that the supporting characters of this play (Amir, Bhai Jee and Bhabi Jee) are not only hopelessly farigh but also the biggest twits in the history of twits and I couldn’t help but wonder aloud: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Bhai and Bhabi have actually lost their brain screws and the lameness level of their ‘tactics’ to change Farah’s mind actually left me perplexed! The supporting characters were given a lot of coverage today so they better have something substantial to contribute to the story.
Alright so all of a sudden it turns out that Bhai Jee’s inner politician has finally sprung to life after stumbling upon Hassan’s infidelity. Bhai Jee’s significant other, like a couple of other characters in the play, is yateem so the only person she has in this whole wide world is Ahmed and therefore, everything that’s important for her hubby is important to her and since she can’t say ‘NO’ to him, she conveniently sides with him no matter how ridiculously lame his plans are. And oh, the couple of other yateem characters are Aisha and Hassan-I’m pretty sure about the former but the latter’s parents might mark their entry because its DB airing on ARY, so anything can happen now :P.
Well, Bhai Jee’s plan No.1 was that acting all goody-goody and sweet in front of Farah and then brain-feeding her against Hassan would be enough to separate the two but little did he know that Farah’s blindly in lovee (zzzzzz) and even though his analysis on Hassan was spot-on, Farah didn’t budge because in the world of dusri biwis, she is the epitome of sabr & wafa *sighs*. But I’d just like to say that even though leaving Hassan is out of question for Farah, she does seem to realize that marrying Hassan wasn’t exactly the best decision she ever made. Throughout the episode, she was apprehensive and to some extent, contrite. Okay so when plan No.1 failed, Bhai Jee stepped in with yet another tactic to convince Farah that she can leave Hassan without any sort of fears and well, as anybody could guess, Bhai and Bhabi Jee are childless (hence the farighness) so Bhabi Jee approaches Farah and offers some great words of wisdom (I made some changes): dekho agar tum bachay ki wajah say Hassan ko nahe chor parahi tou kia masla hai? Mujhay pata hai kay mein tumhari sautan ki bhabi hun, tumhara Ahmed say koi blood relation nahe hai BUT meray mian jee khisak chuke hain aur according to him, tum itni achi ho kay ek dafa ki request par humain apna bacha dedo gi- see, it’s a walk in the park, right? Hand over the baby to us and our family frame will be completed, you’ll be able to walk out on Hassan and your piya, along with his Biwi No.1 and Beti No.1, will live happily ever after. The End. THREE problems, ONE solution ^_^ So while Bhai Jee is pleased with himself for coming up with a plan so foolproof, Farah shuts Bhabi Jee up and well, Bhai Jee has to come up with ANOTHER plan. Now, this time around, he decides to bribe Farah with his brand new BANGLA because he still doubts her persistence and thinks that his brand new irresistible offer should do the trick.
Honestly speaking, it never dawned on me that Hassan isn’t as affluent as his house, car, mobile phone, office, fancy suits, hair gel and the dresses of his begmaat suggest so the fact that Hassan is struggling financially because of multiple responsibilities did come across as something shocking. This goes to show that apart from being disloyal, dishonest and shameless, Hassan was senseless too which is why he tied the second knot, despite knowing that his financial conditions are not very sound or ideal for supporting two families. Plus, both his Biwi No.1 and 2 were expecting at the same time so that’s how his decisions show a lack of forethought- nut-job he is! I am soo glad that Aisha and Hassan’s scenes in Murree weren’t shown because to see someone like Hassan expressing his love for his Biwi No.1 would’ve been unbearable so thanks for sparing us the torture! You know, Hassan, Aisha and Saman- they look picture perfect as a family and Fahad Mustafa and Hareem Farooq share great chemistry and if only they’d brought together the same people for a better project, we would have been looking forward to it. But here we are, looking at a guy juggling and twirling around (the twirling in the opening sequence makes it even worseeee) his Biwi No.1 and 2. You know, sometimes I wonder how a girl who used to be so active and independent before marriage can be so content with a post-marriage life that only involves lazing around and waiting for a phone call that’s never meant to come? You know, I would have a lot more respect for this play only if they show Farah leaving Hassan and starting a life on her own (even if that means living in Bhai Jee’s plot) :P. Hayee, but khair, right now, our Biwi No.2 is having a candlelit dinner with HERSELF because her piyaaa is in MURREE, with his BIWI NO.1 and BETI NO.1 and BIWI NO.2 is discontented and yet, she is ‘celebrating’ the day she met the guy because of whom she’s all alone right now, true love, huh?
Well, well, well, Amir sure didn’t learn his lesson and here he is doing what he is best at doing- harassing! The thing about this guy is that he LOVES to drop notes and letters because he believes in PENNING his thoughts and feelings. Someone wise once told him that letters serve as ‘aadhi mulaqaat’ and Amir sure took this veryy seriously. Like I mentioned before, if he doesn’t have anything to add to the story, as I suspect, he should leave ASAP.
This episode clearly showed that Farah is not satisfied with her life so I really really hope that she takes a stand for herself; the chances are slim but I like to hope for the better ;) What do you think of the latest developments? Share your thoughts!

Fawad Khan is climbing the ladder of success in the Bollywood faster than any other Pakistani hero who has worked in India. The latest news is that Fawad has signed a film with the renowned filmmaker Karan Johar. Fawad Khan will star opposite Aishwarya Rai in the film which is titled “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”. The film also includes Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
Fawad Khan recently won the Filmfare award. After winning the episode he said, “I just feel extremely lucky. It’s the most exciting feeling. It’s been a wonderful year for me and there could be no better way to end it.”
Recent episode of Aik Pal was another drag with one or two twists at the end. As usual, all the scenes were used as stepping stones to reach to the main twists. I have wished countless times, while watching Pakistani serials, why don’t they just bring about the twist at the start, without adding all the dragged scenes? What is the use of dragging? Aik Pal team will squeeze every ounce of interest from the viewers minds with it and a lot of damage has already been done. Is this the same drama I appreciated in he initial episodes?
Omair and Bareera’s track is useless at the moment. Omair, take your father-in-law’s business and be done with it. Then the story can move forward and I can get rid of the yawns your and Bareera’s track gives me. Bareera is oblivious to Omair’s devious eyes. That cunning look he gives her while sipping coffee or watching television shouldn’t be so hard to notice. Right? Beena also made an appearance today but the discussion between the two sisters on the phone was not anything special. All this family discusses is the business.
Imran finally revealed the reason he is marrying Noor Fatima. Ta da! Inko badla lena hai…..
What badla? You take a badla from someone who has done something to you. All Noor Fatima did was try to be confident. Imran has little sense of what he wants to do. His friend is the only person in his life who has an ounce of intelligence in him. I know his “plan” is not much beneficial to Noor Fatima, but if he convinces Imran to let her work in the city, her life could be better than it would be in the village. She will at least be able to follow her dreams. However, most of the trouble she is in right now, has been caused by herself, or as her mother puts it, her jaldbazi. I don’t know how many times Sumbhul Iqbal has played the roti dulhan but she looked really pretty in her mayun dress.
Shazi continued her same dialogues, and so did her mother. While her mother was busy in grabbing Malik’s money, she was busy calling Imran for help. Just like the previous episode. This time, when her mother made the decision to get her married to Malik, Shazi had to escape and she went straight to Imran’s village. How did she arrive? If by bus then how did she know what bus to take? The plan she used to escape was the most illogical. Am I supposed to believe her mother left her alone in the house, with the friendly servant in? Had she no idea Shazi could behla phusla ke take his help to escape?
Chauhdry Ashraf spent so many scenes warning Rani about Mus’haf’s future that I doubted if he had a memory at all. In three to four scenes, he came barging into her room and said the same words, mein master ke sath buhat bura karun ga, one way or the other. Dragging has a limit people! All those scenes had no substance because obviously, they were fillers.
Mus’haf has been beaten two times. Once by Omair and the second time by Ashraf’s men. He is suffering more than Noor Fatima and Bareera both at the moment. Rani forced him through her father to come back to her house to teach her and once again proclaimed her love for him. As the promo of this episode already revealed what came after, the whole defamation scene was no surprise at all!
Little about Aik Pal makes sense right now. The whole episode passes and nothing happens. I have little hope for the pace getting better in future episodes as well. Right now, it’s simply boring.
What is your opinion?

Zee Zindagi is holding a short film festival. Writer Syed Mohammad Ahmed has written a special short film for Zee Zindagi which is being directed by Mehreen Jabbar. The title of the film is “Lala Begum”. The cast of the film consistsof Marina Khan, Sonia Rehman, Hamayun Saeed among other. The look which these actors are sporting makes it look like the story is set in the 60s or 70s.
Here are some pictures from the sets of Lala Begum:
The HUM TV awards were shown in the repeat yesterday while going through parts of the show I questioned myself was English our first language? Are we ashamed of speaking Urdu? Does speaking English make our stars feel superior or more refined? Or it could be that they do not know any Urdu! Whatever the reason maybe but it was saddening to see that these Pakistanis who were paying tribute to Pakistani culture and entertainment did not think that it was necessary to speak in their national language. I am very certain that many viewers like me would have found their efforts much more impressive if they spoke good quality Urdu. If the guests could not do it then at least the hosts could have since whatever they had to say was scripted. Learning a few good lines of Urdu would have made the show look more Pakistani but equally modern. Pakistani dramas are in Urdu, our songs are sung in Urdu so that they can reach the masses but the shows that are held to celebrate these entertainment mediums largely depend on the use of English although they are meant for the Pakistani audience too. It was uplifting to see hosts like Samina Peerzada and Fahad Mustafa speaking in Urdu.
The effort that was put into the show was very evident from the sets and the well choreographed dances but why not put an equal amount of stress on ensuring that the content on which the artists are performing is Pakistani too. Pakistani artists have a lot of hit numbers to their name, why not promote them in these shows? On one hand Indians are criticizing the cheap lyrics of their songs and on the other we cannot get enough of them. HUM TV is a big enough entity to have bands sing special songs which can qualify as dance numbers in their shows. Talking about dance numbers, the stress on dances in the show was a reason because of which I am sure many people forwarded most part of the show. What happened to witty skits? The very few skits that were part of the show were much more entertaining then all the dance numbers put together.
Through this article I want to tell our beloved actors and entertainers once again that the awaam does not get impressed by foreign English accents, Western dresses and naach gana on foreign songs but we want to see Pakistani content and we want to see our celebrities speaking Pakistani language in award shows. Shalwar Kameez is a beautiful dress that can be worn in many stylish ways, we would like to see our celebrities experimenting with Shalwar Kameez instead of wearing party gowns. We want to see the same representation of Pakistan in our shows which we see in our dramas. How many viewers agree with me?

While Haniya tries to empathize with Mohini and express her dismay over Rahat’s win, Zeb thinks Sr. Hashmi has lost big time. Haniya has more or less established that Zeb knew Rahat but Zeb is in no hurry to reveal the intricate details of her history. Rahat goes on the defense whenever Haniya brings up his past and that only reaffirms her thinking that Zeb and him share a deeper connection. I think it’s only a matter of time before Haniya realizes that she can’t continue living with a self-centered prick.
Having lost all hope in her capacity to provide for Omar’s treatment due to her depleted resources, Mohini walks away from Omar’s life with a promise to Rahat Hashmi but refuses to a divorce. Sharfu Nana (Qazi Wajid) made his appearance today and the ladies- Asma and Mohini are moving away with him. I liked how he didn’t judge either of the two but instead, stood by their decision and comforted them in their time of need. Asma has done above and beyond what any single mother could do and Mohini is struggling with guilt of being a burden on her instead of taking care of her as she had wanted all along.
Nomi has been a true friend who didn’t think twice about arranging financial help for Mohini hoping Omar would be on the road to recovery. Mohini felt crippled with the news of Omar’s long-term needs and it just goes to show how Rahat banked on his power and connections to get exactly what he wanted. I’m sure Rahat will not spare the melodrama once Omar regains consciousness and ensure he poisons Omar against Mohini so much so that Omar ends up becoming his puppet again.
Sana Javed has been exceptional as Mohini and I’m really loving her in a lead role; Usman Peerzada makes me hate him a little more every week- such a fine actor really; Farah Shah is doing well now with her controlled performance; OKB has been very impressive thus far and I’m hoping he can maintain his brilliance till the very end. I’m glad the story continues to progress at a steady pace- I’m looking forward to seeing how Omar takes the news of Mohini’s exit.
Yours in watching,

Ohkay so I really enjoyed watching this episode because things seem to be happening at a faster pace now. Looks like they are going to wind this serial up but they still have a lot of aspects to cover, which means the succeeding episodes will be a lot more happening like this one.
So, Mazhar Hayat continued being unreasonable because he just didn’t want Fareeda to have satisfaction that she could write well. He kept on throwing her script away even after she made a lot of amends just because he never wanted to approve her writing in the first place but I am so glad that another opportunity presented itself & that gave Fareeda an edge to deal with Mazhar in a way that could set him right. I liked the honesty with which Fareeda told Mazhar about her decision; he hated working with her, so she allowed him to live happily ever after because he succeeded in shooing her away. Fareeda is a gifted writer & there’s no denying to that & all she required was a perfect opportunity & a perfect team to work with & luckily she got one. As expected, Fareeda wrote a brilliant script which made an impact right from the beginning & she secured a good place in that channel, which means Fareeda’s on a way to her success.
It was good to see Fareeda’s professional life shaping up but seems her personal life ain’t ever going to get smoother & she is going to face a lot more challenges in the days to come. Shaukat is interested in someone else & I think this will force Fareeda to rekindle her old feelings that she had for Sheheryaar. Even though she proved to be a very good life partner who compromised, tried to make this marriage work & was always ready to do everything to please her new family – Shaukat & his family didn’t deserve a girl like her. They all looked like a bunch of vultures when they were trying to get their hands on the money that Fareeda earned. It’s pretty clear that they are only interested in what she can do as a writer but on the other hand they lack a basic sense of courtesy, which is why instead of making her life easier, they are making it more miserable with the incessant taunting & belittling but I am glad that at least they haven’t shown Fareeda as someone who lives in a bubble. She might be a day dreamer with a strong imagination, but she knows exactly when she needs to keep her eyes open & because of that she can clearly see what’s happening around her & even though it’s sad, it’s still good in a way that she is not living in some lala land, which means that if she will ever make a drastic change in her life, it won’t come across as an irrational decision.
Looks like Fareeda will get another supporter in the family & that would be Shaukat’s elder sister. I really like how they have etched out Fareeda’s character. What she did didn’t seem forced at all because that’s how she is, she is courteous, big hearted and compassionate & it just didn’t matter who it was, when she felt Naghma needed her help & support, she took a stand for her & stood by her & that makes me like her character even more.
I so wish that they do show Mazhar Hayat paying for what he did with Fareeda. I hope the channel head takes an action against him because of his prejudices & biasness towards her plus I also want him to witness Fareeda’s success himself & then feel ashamed of being so irrational. Actually, I just want everyone to pay the price & that includes Shaukat & his whole family (FIL excluded) as well.
Going by the preview, looks like Shehryaar is going to make an entry into Fareeda’s life again, even though for now, he’s going to be confined to her thoughts only but I do have a feeling that they both will end up being together & especially after what Shaukat is doing to her, I don’t mind seeing Fareeda with Shehryaar because no matter how shallow he might’ve been, at least he made her happy. I felt a lot for Fareeda when I saw her smiling wholeheartedly after reading her fan’s messages, it’s like ever since she has gotten married, this was the first time she actually tasted what it was like to be appreciated for something that she’s so passionate about & that is why it looked like her smile came right from her heart. I just can’t wait for the happy times to roll in for Fareeda. Share your thoughts on this episode of Digest Writer please. :)

Faryal Makhdoom is well known not only because she is married to the world famous boxer Amir Khan but also because of her sense of style. Faryal has also been the brand ambassador of one of the leading designers in Pakistan namely Sana Safinaz.
Faryal and Amir tied the knot in the year 2012. They had a baby girl in 2014 who they named Lamaisah. Faryal Makhdoom recently launched her own You Tube channel through which she will give everyone who is watching a glimpse into her everyday life with her family and will also give make-up tutorials to her fans because Faryal’s sense of make-up is liked by many people. Faryal Makhdoom looks pretty in the video as she tells her fans what her channel has to offer.
Here is the launching video of her channel:
The idea of the channel looks interesting and casual. There is nothing formal about what Faryal is going to show in her channel. Faryal also runs a blog of her own where she reviews various beauty products and gives make-up tips. Boxer Amir Khan came to Pakistan few weeks back to meet the top leadership and expressed his desire to fund the victims of Peshawar attack.
HSY, the quintessential showman of the fashion industry, is back in the news once again. We’ve just learned that shooting for the second season of his talk show Tonight for HSY is underway and it promises to take up where the first season left off – allowing us a
glimpse into the lives of some of the country’s hottest stars.
The show that kicked off with the first couple of the entertainment industry – Mahira and Fawad – had its highs and lows in its debut season but by and large, we saw HSY finding his groove as a host and getting his guests to dish out on some entertaining and intimidate information about what makes them tick. While a format change is on the cards – the show is getting rid of some of the previous games and coming up with segments that have more fire and excitement – Sheru (as HSY is fondly called) says that the talk show will retain its basic essence. “It’s an informal look into the lives of these celebrities as they chat to me, not as a host but as a friend and colleague. We’re retaining that informal, organic feel.”
And, he promises us, there is lots of scandalous gossip on the cards. “You’ll be hearing who has had Botox done and which actress loves to hit on her co-stars – with names!” If that isn’t enough reason to tune in when the show goes on air mid-February, then maybe the line-up consisting of today’s ‘it’ stars will make you sit up and take notice. We know Sanam Saeed, Urwa Hocane, Imran Abbas, Farhan Saeed, Atiqa Odho, Junaid Khan and Danish Taimoor will all be making appearances and we’re looking forward to an interesting hour of weekly star power brightening up our living rooms.

Ohkay so, this episode was interesting in regards to the story because we saw some developments & finally the characters are paying heed to their future & making plans to shape it up. Even though this episode still had some to the point scenes, honestly, it seemed never-endingly long. I just don’t understand why there’s always something that doesn’t allow me to enjoy this drama? I just don’t get what it is that makes it’s episodes a miss every single time?
So, the truth is out, what Bhatti & Cathy had was not a marriage but only a deal that they both made just so that they could favour each other. Bhatti wanted to get citizenship through her & in other words, she earned the money on her American passport. Now that I know the reality about their relationship, I am still going to question whether to reveal this important detail after 19 episodes was a good idea or not? If Bhatti & Cathy had spoken about it initially, it would’ve made a lot more easier for us to understand why there was nothing but a void in their lives but to show them indifferent & now all these sudden moves of Cathy where she is acting like a possessive wife seem baseless to me. Yes, it’s understandable that she might’ve fallen for him but now it looks like she’s doing it for the sake of her ego because later she also swore to make his life miserable as she just can’t handle seeing him walking out on her. Cathy has been the weakest character written by the writer here because what she does & how she reacts is downright ridiculous. She has spent years & years with Bhatti, so when he was fulfilling his promise of paying her the money that she needed, the least she could do was to treat him respectfully but even though she knew that they both had kept their options open, why is she now making such a big fuss over it because she was never in love with him to begin with? I really believe that if this track had been tackled attentively, they could’ve made it a lot more realistic & convincing. Yes, it’s real, people, in fact Pakistanis do get married to every other girl for the sake of nationality but then did they show us something that we didn’t know about? I just don’t understand how adding such an already-known fact in a story made this drama interesting? Any justification, anyone?
What Sikandar said to Salma was nothing but a lie to weave the trap so that he could reach Bhatti & allow Salma to witness it herself. Too bad, what Sikandar planned for someone else was exactly the thing that was planned for him. No sympathies whatsoever for him, his mother & even Kashif but now looks like this is exactly something that Salma needed to come to a final decision. Even though they tried to create some drama but they somehow failed because a lot of things just didn’t make sense. Salma was seen oblivious of the fact that Sikandar had no medical insurance but all this while I thought she was one running things in the house? She was well aware of what was going on under that roof & here we’re shown that she didn’t know about such a basic thing. Is Salma dumb or what to be even asking this question or had forgotten whether Sikandar was paying for his medical insurance or not because the last thing I knew, Sikandar was in jail & ever since he was released from prison, he was jobless & I think medical insurance is the last thing on a felon’s mind!
Imaan & Daadi’s confrontation was done well. At least Imaan is logical & she knows how to take a stand for the right. I do like Imaan’s character & I think in the supporting cast, she has outbid all the other supporting characters. At least, Imaan is the one who is standing by her mother but what she said came as a surprise to me. Imaan is a 15 year old girl who lives in an American society, studies in an American school & is surrounded by Americans, so why did they show that it was so hard for her to understand what was going on between Bhatti & Salma? Imaan was seen asking this question to Salma so innocently whether Bhatti was Salma’s boyfriend or not because in American society, this thing is a norm, so why is Imaan clueless about a thing which should’ve been nothing but a normal deet for her? Ohkay, if she had been a 7 or an 8 y/o, it would’ve made sense but she’s a teenager & girls of this age especially who come from a dysfunctional family are a lot more intuitive but even though I like Imaan for her innocence, I don’t think showing her so clueless was right!
Chalain jee, Jamshed is on a trip of his own where he has bagged a financially stable lady & thinks nothing can go wrong but the funny thing is, nothing is actually going wrong in his life because Michelle is babysitting him & protecting him like a fairy Godmother & Rizwan seems intimidated by him. I am sure Rizwan just doesn’t trust him but for Michelle’s sake, he has decided to back out too as he can clearly see how much Michelle loves Jamshed. I am sure he won’t sit quietly & would do something to expose Jamshed, I mean I hope he does it but the way he lied & sugar-coated things in front of Michelle after Jamshed misbehaved with him; indicate that Michelle is already doomed & her friend might not come to save the day!
This episode was partially a hit & partially a miss for me, but I am glad that this serial is coming to an end & now we can just hope that they wrap it up nicely because we can’t hope for anything else, other than that. Share your opinion please.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

The last part of this episode was just plain shocking – I am not sure what to think. All I have for you are theories so bear with me! And feel free to share your own theories too. Rasheeda planned everything perfectly but I must say that I never saw it coming! Rasheeda knew that Shano will do exactly what she did and this is obviously what she wanted too but why?? I am still finding it hard to believe that Rasheeda actually wanted to see Shano and Khalil together or is it something entirely different? I was very surprised at Rasheeda’s short-sightedness and I kept on thinking all through tonight’s episode that she really should have known better. Shano is not the kind of girl who would have gone ahead with such an arrangement but I guess Rasheeda knew that only too well. I have no idea what the writer had in mind but I personally feel that there could be two completely different reasons for what Rasheeda did tonight. If the writer wants to make a hero out of Rasheeda then the reason could be that having been through so many relationships with men who were very selfish, Rasheeda wanted to ensure that Khalil was willing to go the extra mile in order to have Shano in his life. The second reason could be that Rasheeda hates Khalil so much and she wants to hurt Abdur Rehman so desperately that she wants Khalil dead and this was the only way to make it happen. Until now we have not seen an ounce of positivity in Rasheeda’s character therefore I am finding it extremely hard to look at her as someone who wanted to see Shano happy because the outcome of this whole situation can be extremely ugly. Someone like Rasheeda would surely know that someone could get murdered if Shano and Khalil eloped or Shano could have committed suicide if the nikkah took place.
Shano and Khalil’s love story has come a long way; there was a time when these two were naive enough to think that they could spend their lives loving each other even if they could never spend a life together but they have a more realistic approach now mainly because of Rasheeda’s attitude and Mansoor’s constant reality checks. I must say that I have always found Khalil and Shano’s faith in their love very endearing. Being able to connect with all the characters and happenings has to be the primary reason why watching Sadqay Tumhare is always a wholesome experience. Watching some of my favorite actors playing one of the best roles of their lives is another aspect of this play which makes it special in my eyes. Sammiya Mumtaz tops the list in that department.
“Us pur mehrbani karo vo buhat khush rakhe ga usay”…maulvi sahab can see something Shano’s parents are incapable of seeing or choose not to see or maybe something which Rasheeda saw all along. We saw Amin pleading Khalil’s case in one of the previous episodes and while he did so he also was of the opinion that there was absolutely no reason for them to refuse this proposal except that Rasheeda was not happy with it! Well, all that is ancient history now! Rasheeda takes the concept of living in the past to a whole new level. The realization that she might not see Abdur Rehman again hit her hard but God knows what was brewing in Rasheeda’s mind all along! Bechara Fayyaz he was incharge of handling the nikkah function of the girl he wanted to marry once and he seemed to be quite okay with it too!
The preview of the next episode promises more filminess and action. Right now I am only interested in finding out if Khalil and Shano manage to tie the knot and what was Rasheeda thinking?? Mahira Khan has proved with her performance in this play that sometimes body language and facial expressions can convey much more than dialogues can. The glances that Shano and Khalil share instantly tell you what they are thinking and how they feel. Sammiya Mumtaz is talent personified and Rehan Sheikh has brought out the best in his character. Some very interesting characters and brilliant performances are what I look forward to every week while I wait for Sadqay Tumhare. Tonight’s episode however has left me with tons of questions, I am sure I am not the only one who is wondering what Rasheeda’s true intentions were!
Do share your thoughts about tonight’s episode.

The Khoobsurat star had allegedly replaced Ayushmann Khurrana in the Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhaat starer Udta Punjab. According to reports, Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh will now be playing Kareena’s hero.
The plot of the thriller revolves around the issue of drug abuse in Punjab.
Main AFSURDA– I think this would have been the most suitable title for this play because now it’s not just our protagonist who is afsurda, this time around EVERYONE (except for Sania I guess) was sooo afsurda that when the episode finally ended, I found myself so afsurda that I don’t think anyone having a great day should tune to this play because they’ll end up feeling very afsurda and I know the over-usage of afsurda is irritating but the thing is that I am feeling soo afsurda that I can’t think of any other word because: ARY IS DOING IT AGAIN! They’re about to ruin a play some of us used to wait for. This was one full-of-loopholes, boring and above all- AFSURDA episode. The recent turn of events is bugging me this much because I had quite a lot expectations from this play and now to see the story going downhill like this- it’s shattering! My eyes beg for some sweet scenes and my ears beg for some sweet dialogues but all we know up till now is that Bushra is crying, Sabiha is nazrain churay-ing, Shayan is sleepy and Sania is excited (for her marriage to a guy who loathes her presence and makes it quite obvious too but madame abhi tak issi kashmakash mein hain kay un ka to-be-hubby un say muhabbat karta hai ya naha?!!).
First things first, whatever happened to ‘kal tak tumhe apni har baat ka jawaab miljayega’?? I mean, the first few scenes indicated that Shayan will break the news to Sania and I was waiting for the ‘kal’ in question but guess what? I kept waiting! Even though Shayan did approach Sania once and obviously he intended to spill the beans but the whole scene ended rather abruptly and with a stinging smile and ‘ab koi jawaab matter hi nahe karta ‘, she walked out- just like that! At one point she was begging for an explanation as to what’s the reason behind Shayan’s berukhi but when she put tissue and tissue together (LOL, you gotta admit the girl has Sherlock-like skills ;) ) and figured out that there’s something fishy going on between him and Bushra, she left the conversation in the lurch- this tells you what kind of person she is. She is the sort of person who likes to live in an ideal world of hers where everything is according to her plans and even though she herself has come to realize that Bushra is someone special for Shayan, the thing is that she doesn’t have the heart to hear this from Shayan in person- she just can’t face the truth. You know, I don’t get why every single person in this play is sooo slowww! I mean, why couldn’t Shayan tell her the truth right when she asked him? Yeh ‘kal’ ka intezaar kyunnnnn? Shayan always came across as a level-headed person and I expected him to voice the truth without chickening out but I’m afraid he is not exactly taking charge of the whole situation. And yesss, why couldn’t they SHOW Bushra and Shayan in a restaurant, enjoying some light-hearted moments, matlab, itna sukh tou viewers ko mil hi sakta tha yaar!
(see below) Bubbly ka advert match aur Sania- perfect match, huh?
Another person who is proving to be a HUGE disappointment is Sabiha!! I mean, remind me again, isn’t she the woman who got Bushra and Shayan married in the first place? Now that the situation is getting out of hand, it’s actually Sabiha’s responsibility to say the truth out loud. I know that she’s concerned about Sania’s mother but would it do any good to marry Sania to Shayan just because of her dying mother’s last wish, only to find Shayan and Sania leading a troubled marital life in future? All this time she was like, ‘Bushra tou meri beti hai, Bushra tou meri zindagi hai’ but now when Bushra is likely to have a nervous breakdown (all jokes apart, I am actually worried about Bushra’s health), Sabiha is behaving as if Bushra doesn’t even exist! I for one didn’t spot her consoling Bushra and reminding her that they’re going to deal with this together. Well, I’m veryy concerned about Bushra because the circumstances she finds herself in are exceptionally difficult to cope with and if she loses her mind, I for one wouldn’t blame her! I loved the play when the focus was solely on Bushra, her struggles, her triumphs, her failures but look where we are right now!
Shayan always looks so constipated, Bushra has ‘I am the saddest person in the whole, wide world’ written all over her face while Sabiha always has this sheepish look on her face like she’s hiding something but isn’t it strange that Sania’s parents aren’t the least bit worried why their daughter’s to-be-susraali are anything but happy for the approaching wedding bells? Shukar hai atleast Sania commented that Yahan sab ka muu dekh kar tou lag hi nahe raha kay yahan shadi honay wali hai but even that remark was made very casually. Sania and Shayan are poles apart and I don’t know why in the world Sania fell head over heels in love with Shayan. I know that opposites attract but when Shayan is with Sania, he’s always so expressionless and insipid that I don’t know what compelled Sania to fall in love with him. WHY are girls portrayed so desperateee in our serials these days? If a guy doesn’t like you and you’re a girl with even an ounce of self-respect in you, you’d think twice before obsessing over a guy who has got eyes for someone else!
On the other hand, Sofia puts two and two together and a call from Fazeela confirms her suspicions about Faraz’s disappearance. They wasted quite some time in showing the longg series of flashbacks in Sofia’s ‘putting two and two together’ sequence but when it came to the interesting part, i.e. Fazeela’s call- we didn’t even get to hear all of it! I really wanted to know what Fazeela knows about Faraz and oh, I was expecting them to show Faraz’s accident a lot earlier but at the last minute of the episode, Shayan just received a call from someone informing him about Faraz’s accident and nothing was revealed after that. Going by Sofia’s expressions, I think she finally knows what actually happened between Faraz and Bushra and I wonder what’d be her next step.
The promo suggests that the next episode will comparatively be more happening so let’s see! I want to know what you folks think of the episode, so please share your thoughts!

Babar Khan and Sana Khan’s wedding was like a fairytale come true. This dreamy marriage took place in December 103, unfortunately these two adorable people were not meant to be together for long. Sana Khan died in a terrible car accident and Babar Khan was in the ICU for a long time. The whole experience left this actor so shaken that he did not even give any interviews after that even though many talk show hosts wanted to interview him.
Babar Khan has started a new life almost two years after that tragic accident. He recently got married to his cousin Bisma Khan who is a student of grade 10. Only this picture of the newly-wed couple is available at the moment.

Last week a Bollywood film Baby starring Akshay Kumar in lead role was not given a censor certificate. Fakhre Alam the head of Sindh Censor Board commented the film as anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslims. The film also starred two Pakistani artists Rasheed Naaz and Meekal Zulfiqar.
While the participation of Pakistani artists in this film is still debated on social media, Hamza Ali Abbasi, has also released a statement about the film Baby. As per Hamza,
“I was offered this Indian film BABY last year and i immediately said no to it seeing a slight anti Pakistan element in its storyline”

Glamour_ in dramas is often discussed, with mix opinions. It has, after all, became an important part of our shows. Some say it should be completely eliminated, while others don’t seem to mind it. However, glamour isn’t completely good or bad. It depends on what you put in with it. Here are reasons why it is good or bad:
