Talking about it, Maria B said, “Internationally models work in less or affordable charges. Local models are very expensive because this field is tough for Pakistani models. There are a very few girls in the field of modelling because parents usually don’t allow their daughters to join the fashion industry, which I do understand why. I know, apart from a few good photographers, this field is not good. So! because of limited choices they charge a lot. Some beautiful and internationally known Pakistani models also charge a hefty amount. Whereas, if we see international models, they charge per day, we can give them hundred dresses to wear in a day, they charge around five hundred dollars per day, which isn’t a big amount. Pakistani models charge more”. Here is the link to the video:
Maria B has worked with many international models including Turkish stars Didem Balcin and Gulsim Ali.

Yashma Gill is quite a senior actress in the industry right now. She became who she is today through her own hard work. She was a total outsider and now she has some really big dramas under her belt.

She has a huge number of followers and people love her for her love for animals but her recent gushing over Indian actor Taha Shah came under criticism.

Zard Patton Ka Bunn and Gentleman are two star-studded dramas that premiered on the same day and time but on different channels. After watching the opening episodes of both these serials it is clearer than ever that each one offers something different from the other one.
Here is looking at what these dramas offer and the different factors that will affect their viewership:
The Promotions
The producers and channel behind the drama serial Gentleman put in a lot of effort to promote it, using all means available to ensure it was the talk of the town before it even aired. On the other hand, the producers and channel behind Zard Patton Ka Bunn did not invest in promotions to the same extent. As a result, their drama did not receive as much attention before its airing.
The channel and social media team did not even do the bare minimum to promote Zard Patton Ka Bunn which was extremely disappointing especially because it has an ace team. Humayun Saeed and Green TV, on the other hand, were on a mission to capture public attention.
The Teams
Both the dramas have phenomenal teams; everyone involved has already made a name for themselves in the industry. The producers, directors, writers, and cast members are well-known for their phenomenal work.
However, Humayun Saeed rarely works in dramas therefore that is an added advantage for the Gentleman team. Yumna Zaidi is also at the peak of her popularity at the moment. On the other hand, Hamza Sohail does not have the same level of hype or popularity.
Sajal Aly is a talented actress who can hold the audience’s attention throughout an entire drama. She has a strong fan base and is known for her impactful performances. Although her previous project Kuch Ankahi did not receive as much popularity as Yumna Zaidi’s recent dramas, Sajal Aly’s talent and screen presence cannot be ignored. She brings a lot of value to any project she is a part of.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s previous drama Mere Pass Tum Ho was a massive hit and Mustafa Afridi’s Sang-e-Mah although widely watched was not as ‘popular’. Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is known for his dialogue writing and engagement value. Mustafa Afridi is widely recognized for his exceptional scriptwriting abilities, particularly due to his ability to capture unique stories and explore diverse cultures. Both of these writers possess individual strengths that make them stand out. It is clear which one has written more hit dramas.
The Channels
The channel on which a drama is aired is a crucial element that should not be overlooked. At times, it can make all the difference in how the show is received and perceived by the audience. Green TV is a new channel that has excelled in experimenting but is not a mainstream channel yet and does not have the same viewership as Hum. Even though Green TV has been the leader when it comes to innovation, the fact is that many of these experiments have failed as well. Till now, they have only had one major hit to their credit, which is Kabli Pulao. However, most of their dramas have a promising start but lose momentum, failing to gain popularity.
On the other hand, Hum TV, even with its limited promotions, has a solid audience. Apart from this, Kashf Foundation dramas on Hum have always offered quality and got the viewership.
It remains to be seen if Gentleman will be the next Kabli Pulao for Green TV! And we don’t know yet if Zard Patton Ka Bunn will get the same attention as Udaari.
First Impressions
The first episodes of both these dramas aired last night. Gentleman’s promotions promised an engaging watch therefore I tuned into Gentleman first. The issue with large-scale promotions is that they tend to create very high expectations among people. The first episode of Gentleman had many Bollywood references, which made me wonder if the producers were targeting the Indian audience. This audience plays a vital role in making or breaking Pakistani dramas nowadays. The episode was shot well and had a comical element. The characters’ dynamics were interesting. However, because of the detailed teasers and promos, there was nothing ‘new’ about this episode.
The viewers already got an elaborate introduction to these characters through the trailers and many of the scenes were already part of the trailer. This took the initial excitement away. This first episode also made it clear that Gentleman is yet another love story since that was the main theme of this episode. Khalil-ur-Rehman’s dramas usually grow on the viewers and get more interesting as the story progresses. I must admit that while this first episode did a fine job of introducing the viewers to the main characters, it did not blow me away. The Bollywood references and approach took away the newness from the characters too.
Zard Patton Ke Bunn’s first episode was written and executed brilliantly. It was ‘new’ and fast-paced. Since the teasers of the drama were not as elaborate as Gentleman, getting to meet the characters in this first episode was more exciting. Sajal Aly and Hamza Sohail were the stars of the show.
This first episode had strong supporting characters that stood out, was more ‘original’ than Gentleman’s first episode, and had quite a few refreshing elements to it. Both these dramas have strong leading ladies but the circumstances and personalities are poles apart. The father-daughter relationship in Zard Patton Ka Bunn was the most heartwarming element of the first episode. Each character’s relationship with each other stood out for all the right reasons and it was a great start to a drama which I am certain will have a great deal to offer.
In this first episode, the writer already touched upon many different aspects of the lives of these characters which came from totally different professions. As a viewer, I was instantly invested in every single track and found these stories relatable. Like every other Kashf Foundation drama, this one too must be based on true stories that will resonate with many. The fast pace of this episode and the variation in stories and characters make Zard Patton Ka Bunn a drama that deserves your time and attention. For those seeking both entertainment and substance, it’s a must-watch.
Substance over marketing
Promotional efforts heavily favored Gentleman, with extensive marketing and not to mention the OST. However, the first episode of Zard Patton Ka Bunn, so far has more views than Gentleman even though the hype surrounding Gentleman was way more! Also, Zard Patton Ka Bunn’s first episode had more substance. This indicates that, for a change, the viewers prioritized quality storytelling over appealing marketing tactics. Excessive marketing can sometimes backfire because it raises expectations and the initial episodes may not live up to these expectations.
Final Remarks
It is too early to make definitive predictions about which drama will hold public attention in the long run. Both, Zard Patton Ka Bunn and Gentleman have their strengths and distinct qualities as was apparent in their opening episodes, setting the stage for a compelling battle for viewership.
Zard Patton Ka Bunn has an edge of originality due to its fresh storytelling and relatable characters. If the upcoming episodes of the drama are as well-crafted as this one, the show might become an unexpected but clear winner.

He shared in an interview with VOA Urdu that he actually rejected Jaan Se Pyara Juni multiple times. He loves doing complex characters like the ones in Besharam and Ishq Zah e Naseeb as more can be done there. He said doing characters like Juni is difficult as they are so close to reality without any extra alphaness inserted in. So, he rejected it several times but the director Meer Sikandar finally made him say yes to the character and he took on the challenge.

It was not a pleasant experience for her and she does not talk much about that time.
Here is what she said:
She later on shared that she knew that marriage was a wrong decision within the first 10 minutes but she came from a very conservative and strict family and she had it in her mind that she has to make it work somehow. She was in that relationship for 10 years and did all she could to make it work somehow.
This is what she said:
She also did not tell her parents what she was going through as she just could not give up on that relationship. When she told her dad after 10 years, he supported her and brought her back on the very next flight. He said that you are always welcome then why did you even go through it.

Zard Patton Ka Bunn is a new offering from Hum TV and the drama has some big star power and actors who do justice to their roles. Sajal Aly and Hamza Sohail play the lead roles while the real power of the story is going to come from Saife Hassan as the director and Mustafa Afridi in the writer’s chair.

Talking about guilt, he said, “once I was driving my new car, I was hit by a Suzuki, I shouted at the guy who hit my car, I said, ‘Are you blind?’ and when I turned towards him, I saw that he had squint eyes, so, if he’s watching I really want to apologize to him. He also said, ‘once my father urged me to help someone with money, the poor man needed a hefty amount for building his rooftop, I gave half of the amount, meanwhile, I was praying from Allah for the success of my new songs. It was the moment when I realized that Allah has given me a lot and I am still asking for more, and I am not willing to give money to the poor guy, Allah is giving me without judging me and I judged that person on merit. I shared this with my father too, who said, ‘that is why I say you to be generous’. So, I learnt a lot from my father.
Talking about unfulfilled desire, Abrar Ul Haq said that he wanted to buy an aeroplane, he also saved money to buy the one but at that time his mother died and he spent that money in building Sahara Hospital. Talking about the happiest moment of life, Abrar Ul Haq said, “the happiest moment in my life was when I was young and I got the job at Atchison college, It was the happiest moment for me and my mother”.
Hum Style Awards is a time for Pakistani celebrities to go out and showcase their personal style mixed in with some avant garde and get rid of their usual drama looks of innocent, straight laced desi girls and boys. Last night came on the latest edition of the show and many seasoned and new celebrities graced the red carpet in their own personal looks. Though the show is about style, many participants probably mistook it for their very own version of Desi Met Gala and came up in costumes rather than stylish looks. Yes, we must mention here that style is subjective and though one look can be gorgeous to one person and horrendous to others so interpretations can vary. But here is our list of 10 worst dressed celebrities at the Desi Met Gala, oh sorry, Hum Style Awards 2024:
1. Hazim Bangwar
Hazim Bangwar is a civil servant and ex-assistant commissioner of North Nazimabad Karachi. He has worked wonders for his city before he was transferred somewhere else. Hazim Bangwar is known for his unique fashion and how soft-spoken and professional he is. He is an artist at heart and last night he did come in a Met Gala inspired look. He looked like he came straight out of Aquaman the movie but in his defense he himself said that he is treating Hum Style Awards as the Met Gala.
2. Hania Aamir
Hania Aamir is a beautiful woman and she did win the Most Stylish Actress Television award last night but her look was confusing. She wore a hot pink suit inspired by the Palestinian Keffiyah but the patterns accentuating the crotch area and the weird length of her jacket did not make her look good. Hania was wearing Nomi Ansari but the look did nothing for her last night.
3. Bilal Saeed
Bilal Saeed is a music icon but he also mistook the Hum Style Awards memo as the desi Met Gala. The tassels, the statement trousers, the jacket, it all looked less style and more costume. Props to the singer to feature a Free Palestine Sign on his jacket but that is probably where the praise will end. Here is what he looked like:
4. Shahroz Sabzwari
The vest paired with those wide-legged trousers made us think what Shahroz Sabzwari was thinking. The guy was in competition with the likes of Wahaj Ali and Mohib Mirza and he picked up the trophy of Most Stylish Man on Television. At least he could have put an effort to make it look more like a red carpet look and less of a sundowner brunch party.
5. Aamna Ilyas
Aamna Ilyas’s look last night was a mix of night club and Dwight from The Office. Aamna is a supermodel and she can carry a sack if she is pushed into one but she should not have been pushed into one and should have worn something that compliemented her look and beauty. The golden and brown extravaganza did nothing for her style.
6. Aima Baig
Aima Baig is the female pop queen of Pakistan right now. People love her music and she sure has her own style which one can recognize but why did she think of wearing a shimmery mini dress last night and then paired it with tights which made her look short and unstylish. Her look had nothing for style and her hair did not match the outfit either.
Alizeh Shah probably thought that she wanted to look like Kylie Jenner and dressed as her from the Schiaparelli show this year. The black dress and the weird shawl looking appendage attached to it did nothing for Alizeh Shah. Her hair and makeup were not up to the mark either and she also got caught within the boundary.
For those who want to see the real one this one is inspired by. Here it is:
8. Khaqan Shahnawaz
Khaqan Shahnawaz is a very handsome guy as quoted by himself in an interview. He knows he has a fair complexion and he has the typical good looks. But why the new actor thought of wearing that silk lapelled jacket is beyond us. He looked inspired by Twilight’s Edward Cullen for his look at the Hum Style Awards 2024.
9. Mariyam Nafees
Mryam Nafees was a hundred percent not excited for this show and she probably recycled a saari she was supposed to wear at a friend’s walima. The green saari was more of wedding guest attire than Hum Style Awards appropriate awrdrobe.
The world just saw Zarmeena Ikram in her vamp Starplus era as Shahmeer Sikandar’s step-mother and looks like she wants to live in her Komolika phase for a bit longer. The saari Zarmeena wore looked simply bad and did not compliment her at all. Her hair and makeup was good though and she definitely needed to choose another outfit.
Ali Xeeshan is a brilliant Pakistani designer who is praised for his excellent designs and his high-end clothing brand. He graduated in Fashion Designing and is pursuing an amazingly successful career. The designer is known to cater to the elite class of Pakistan because of his intricately designed beautiful and classy outfits. Ali Xeeshan is happily married and has beautiful kids. He often makes headlines for wearing weird clothes in various fashion events.
Lately, the designer appeared in Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast. In the podcast, Ali Xeeshan opened up about the maltreatment of industry with him. He also opened up about a big editor’s remarks about his mother. Ali Xeeshan also gave strong replies to the fashion industry’s bigwigs who think that the industry belongs to certain elites.
Talking about Karachi Fashion industry’s rude behaviour, Ali Xeeshan said, “after I was given the platform by Mrs Saigol in Lahore, I became an overnight star in Lahore. This wasn’t liked by the Karachi fashion industry because I got approval of people as a fashion designer. Then I went to Karachi. I was a young fashion graduate who was so scared of all the fashion industry’s big names. I was sitting with all the big names when Raheel Rao of Diva showed me his article about my Fashion show in Lahore, He said, “see I reviewed your work, read my article about you, the worst review, see this trash collection, the trash of Lahore, this is your worth”. I was so hurt, Karachi fashion industry made me cry, I went to the car and cried like I lost my baby. I am a fashion graduate and you have no degree to review my work. You don’t have the right to question my work”. Here is the link to the video:
Talking about Raheal’s remarks regarding his mother, Ali said, “He kept on trolling me, I was conducting a fashion show in Lahore, my mother was on her Umrah trip, I kept a chair spare for her, in that fashion show, he said, ‘Circus in the town and also wrote on Facebook about me, “Holy Cow What The ____ is Ali Zeeshan Wearing!!”. You don’t have credentials to talk about my fashion or work. In the after party of the show, he tapped my shoulder and said, “which mother has given birth to this guy”, I couldn’t control my anger and slapped him. I am sorry I couldn’t control myself. I urge people to stop bullying people and accept them”. He also said that the industry doesn’t belong to the Karachi people. Here is the link to the video:

Wahaj Ali is right now the nation’s sweetheart. He has also polished his style a lot in the last few years and his wardrobe as Murtasim Khan was one of the things that people fell in love with. The shawl he wore became iconic and he has been a face of many big fashion houses since playing Murtasim Khan on TV. He once again changed his style for Mein and went into a more laid back casual fashion alongside strong business suits. Wahaj obviously was a big contender for the award but did not win.
People are not happy with Shahroz getting the award instead of Wahaj and made it known to everyone:

The Deewangi title track playing as well as some subtle references to Tere Bin’s dance scene reminded everyone of the show’s grandiose.
