And yes, the cheap politics of Sultana infected Salma to the fullest and she is all set to go against Aapa Bi. Salma,who never raised her voice infront of Aapa Bi,has now started arguing with her.No wonder, Salma is somewhat low with her intelligence quotient or maybe the unforgettable events in her life made her look and sound like that. Rahi sahi kasar Sultana ne poori kar di..After observing Azam,who seems to be really concerned for Pari’s health, Aapa Bi and Salma smelled something fishy.But they didnot pay heed to it because Azam’s wicked mother will be enough to handle the situation for them. According to them,Azam won’t be able to take it for so long and then they will have to return back.
Rukayya is realizing with the passage of every moment that Pari is getting out of her hands. And not only that, Rukayya has developed a sense of envy for Pari too. She sounded so confused today; she want Pari to be happy but at the same time she was not happy to see her with Azam and that is because deep inside Rukayya has developed feelings for Azam. The mohabbat debate between Azam and Rukayya said it all. Her eyes,her expressions and every word she uttered was depicting that how sad is she after losing Pari,how sad is she to see Pari and Azam together. At the same time, being unaware of Rukayya’s jealousy, Azam was enjoying the discussion.
“Ye donu kya bolai jaa rahay hain mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha”
Pari’s dialogue brought a smile on my face. She never knew how to play with words; Pari tou pari thei..ultra-straight forward. She was unaware of the fact that her Rukayya Aapa is burning deep inside.
Pari ! Jab aik kashti mai bohat saaray sawaar ho jayen toy kashti doobnay lagti hai,kisi aik ko tou kurabaani daini ho gey.
After striving so hard Rukayya decided to give up. She was ready to get married and for that she yelled at Pari to not create any fuss when guests will arrive.The old man who appeared to be so well-off, is already married twice and this is the third time he is getting married..woh bhi Rukayya se.. Disgusting.Rukayya was unable to help herself except accepting the proposal and this time Salma was not happy.Salma and Rukayya’s interaction and their deep discussion was so intense. This was the first time since her childhood when Rukayya cried while sharing her problems with Salma.
Then comes Naseeban’s dream tale part; Naseeban had secret meetings with that man.How come he knew that Naseeban is going to get married to Shabban? How can he be so sure that Naseeban is not happy with Shabban? A question arose in my mind,just like Rukayya today.Is this story true? Whether it may be true or not, that man and Naseeban’s traits are close enough. Both can talk to air,trees,birds,clouds and what not.. :P
Azam’s surprise entry alongwith Rukayya and Pari was not more than a mental shock for Azam’s mother.Salma’s concern for her daughter can be clearly judged by the fact that how sad and how unsatisfied she was,after Rukayya left. During last two minutes, Sajjal Ali’s acting was spot-on; the expressions,the dialogue delivery and everything else was so damn perfect. Lets see for how long they are going to stay at Azam’s place and under what circumstances Azam will propose Rukayya.

PTV (Pakistan Television) is a national broadcasting corporation of our country. PTV is a terrestrial channel and its mandatory for cable operators to provide all PTV channels in their package. PTV has just celebrated its 49th anniversary and entered in its 50th golden jubilee year. PTV is not free to air, its subscription fee known as PTV license fee is included in electricity bills, is 35 rupees per month which is charged to both domestic and commercial customers.
A new proposal is now under consideration to increase the PTV license fee to 60 rupees per month and make it proportional to number of TV sets in a household i.e. 60 rupees per television set. So if a household has five sets, the total PTV fee will be 300 (5×60) rupees.
PTV has already circulated letters to power distribution companies and Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC). As per letter received at Lahore Electric Supply Corporation (LESCO), PTV has referred a case from its fifth survey, where a commercial electricity customer has 600 TV sets, and it is suggested to charge 36,000 rupees as PTV license fee in electricity bill. If approved, the new rule will be applied to commercial consumers first and later to domestic consumers.
Here is actual news as published in Urdu Daily Nawaiwaqt
بجلی کے بلوں میں ٹی وی فیس سیٹوں کی تعداد کے مطابق بھجوانے کا فیصلہ
لاہور (ندیم بسرا) وفاقی حکومت اور پیپکو نے شہریوں پر مہنگائی کا ایک اور بم گرانے کے لئے بجلی کے بلوں میں ٹی وی فیس گھروں اور کمرشل جگہوں پر چلائے جانے والے ٹی وی سیٹ کی تعداد سے بھجوانے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے۔ اس حوالے سے پاکستان ٹیلی ویژن (پی ٹی وی) نے تمام تقسیم کار کمپنیوں بشمول کراچی الیکٹرک سپلائی کمپنی (کے ای ایس سی) کو باقاعدہ لیٹر لکھ دیا ہے۔ تفصیلات کے مطابق بجلی کے بلوں میں درجنوں قسم کے ٹیکسز پہلے ہی لگائے گئے ہیں اور گزشتہ کئی برسوں سے صارفین ان ٹیکسز کو بڑی باقاعدگی سے ادا کر رہے ہیں۔ اس کے باوجود وفاقی حکومت ان ٹیکسز کو کم کرنے کی بجائے مزید اضافے کا ارادہ رکھتی ہے اس بارے میں تمام تقسیم کار کمپنیوں اور کیسکو کو لکھے گئے لیٹر میں کہا گیا ہے کہ کمرشل صارفین سے ٹی وی سیٹ کے حساب سے 60 روپے فی ٹی وی چارج کیا جائے۔ اس بارے میں لیسکو کو ایک لیٹر دیا گیا ہے جس میں پی ٹی وی کے اپنے پانچویں سروے کا حوالہ دیا گیا ہے جس میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ بعض کمرشل صارفین ایک وقت میں کئی کئی ٹی وی سیٹ چلا رہے ہیں۔ لاہور میں ایک کمرشل صارف کے پاس 6 سو ٹی وی سیٹ کا حوالہ دیا گیا ہے اور لکھا گیا ہے کہ اس کے بل سے 36 ہزار روپے چارج کئے جائیں۔ ذرائع کا کہنا ہے کہ پیپکو کے ایم ڈی نے تمام تقسیم کار کمپنیوں کے سربراہان کو کمرشل صارفین سے فی ٹی وی سیٹ چارج کرنے کا عندیہ دیا ہے اور بعدازاں اس قانون کو گھریلو صارفین پر نافذ کرنے کا کہا ہے۔ واضح رہے کہ واپڈا کے ڈیڑھ کروڑ سے زائد صارفین ٹی وی فیس کی مد میں پہلے ہی رقم ادا کر رہے ہیں۔ حالانکہ زمینی حقائق دیکھے جائیں تو ہزاروں کے قریب ایسے صارفین ہیں جن کے گھر میں ٹی وی موجود نہیں ہیں ان سے بھی ٹی وی فیس لی جا رہی ہے۔
It is nothing new in the showbiz industry that as an actor grows, the rumors attached to him too progress and one of the recent victims of the old story is Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. If you are a keen social media follower and keeps a track of latest showbiz happenings, you must have come across the tale of Rahat Fateh Ali’s second marriage with his old friend Falak who happens to be a non-commercial model. The news was first seen in the Times of India and since then rumors had been spreading about the singer.
We preferred not to touch this sensitive topic before receiving confirmations from resources but before we could conclude the response, Khan has openly denied the news and has called it as an attempt to destroy his career in India by getting a bad name to his popularity. While talking on the issue with Duniya News, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has said that it is more like a conspiracy against the Pakistani artists and as he is about to release his album in India, such rumors are been raised on large forums to stop him from his mission.
Watch Video here:
He further refused that he do not know any model and is leading a happily married life with wife and children. Rahat is married to the daughter of the great legendary singer of the subcontinent, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and have two daughters and a son out of this marriage.
Love is what one all needs and to make sure she get her full share of life, Maria Butt (formally known as Maria B) did tie the knot again. Maria is now happily settled with her husband and enjoying the peak days of her career and brand success.The famous Fashion designer belongs to a Kashmiri family and for her endless love for fashion in general, she always wanted to be what she is now known for. For Maria, Fashion is a second nature.
Here are her Nikkah pictures and like every bride, she too looked stunning with her designed outfit as an add-on.
Have a look!
We wish more power to Maria for her future endeavors and a happy married life,
The lady who makes the audience wonder each time she appears on screen about how does she actually maintains herself, celebrated her birthday differently with close friends this year. She started her career in 1993 with Sultana Siddiqui’s drama serial Marvi. Since then Mahnoor Baloch is cherished by her fans for her acting and beauty. Mahnoor did disappear for quite a long time in her career but made a powerful comeback after suffering some ups and downs in her marital life. The actress was born on July 14th, 1970 which makes her 43 years old now.
For her seniority and the magnetic charisma in general, Mahnoor holds a significant place in the showbiz industry where her co-artists value her as an asset of the country’s entertainment industry. Here are a few pictures of her birthday where her fellow friends probably gave her a surprise.
Have a look
Mahnoor has been seen on screen pairing with Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siqqiqui and enjoys a healthy real-life friendship with all her co-actors.
All for now, please share your views about Mahnoor Baloch as an actress!
Hmmm, so the drama has started off pretty well. Mostly the plays directed by Fahim Burney have a bit over-the-top & larger-than-life feel to them but this one seemed quite normal. Nothing too overly enhanced & everything seemed to be in a perfect balance.
We can pretty much see that the story would develop on the lines of a love triangle but for now the characters have been established in a positive light. For me the best or may be the most clear character that came across till now was that of Aiza’s. Aiza (Mehwish Hayat) comes from an incomplete, socially middle-class family & she is living with her brother, her sister in law & two of her brother’s kids. Aiza who’s a simpleton still comes across as a self-sufficient person, who wants to take care of her family in every way possible. She has found ways of supporting her family through tutoring but still her bhabhi keeps on trying to find reasons to be unhappy with Aiza. Even though Aiza comes from a disturbed background where her brother is financially dependent on her, is not best at behaviour too but she on her own is working hard to make things work for her & especially her brother’s children.
Laiba happens to be Aiza’s student who is living with her Tai Ammi, her father & her first cousin Saad. They both also have incomplete families because Saad’s father has passed away & Laiba’s bio-mom left her when she was a kid. In comparison to Aiza, Laiba’s family has a sound financial background but Aiza keeps a check on the difference & doesn’t take unnecessary favours from her student. Laiba & Aiza both share a strong sister-like bond & Laiba takes Aiza as her friend/sister & someone on whom she relies the most. Not only Laiba but Saad’s mother thinks Aiza has had a positive impact on Laiba because she can see the changes she is bringing in herself. She is obviously in love with her cousin Saad but he is oblivious of her feelings. I must say that as a newbie Mediha Imam has done a wonderful job as Laiba. I found her acting spot-on & just like a college-going student should be.
There was a whole positive feel to the drama except that I found the bhai-bhabhi’s spat a bit unreal. Bhabhi’s wawela made me laugh because her acting was poor especially in that particular scene. Finally, Saad got to see Aiza & as we can name it, he experienced love at first sight at that particular moment. He couldn’t help notice how beautiful she is (which she obviously looked), so that lays the path to a beginning of love triangle. I am sure Aiza would be put in an awkward spot because Laiba has told Aiza how she feels for Saad, so let’s see what’ll happen next. Over all the direction seems fit & the characters have unfolded appropriately. I think this is going to be a decent drama for Wednesdays & I am definitely keeping an eye on it.
Ranjish Hi Sahi is one of the very few plays on air at the moment which manages to keep you engaged and you can’t help but feel every emotion that the characters are going through. Bilquees Kamal’s first meeting with Yumna jolted her entire world. Kamal stayed cool and calm like always and I couldn’t help but wonder how he managed to stay that way after living with a woman like Bilquees Kamal for so many years. Bilquees Kamal’s stance and reaction is completely justified; she was always convinced that Kamal never loved her but she was never willing to gift wrap him and hand him over to another woman. Bilquees Kamal has been waiting for years to deal with a situation like this quite unlike Yumna, who may have a strong exterior but is very weak emotionally. However, I wouldn’t envy a woman like Bilquees, if she had such a big ego then she shouldn’t have wasted her life with a man who did not feel anything for her. Saba Hameed fits the role perfectly, she has played the villain many times before too and she is indeed a superb actress who fits in perfectly in any role assigned to her.
I really like the way the viewers were introduced to the characters; Hiba’s reaction would have appeared to be Over The Top if all the traits of her personality were not shown clearly in the previous few episodes. The fact that she is not selfish but insecure made me feel for her character. She thinks that her mother will not be able to give her the time and attention if there is a man in her life. She is also very possessive about her mother, which is quite natural. Tooba is a sweetheart, I love her character although usually the goodie good sisters annoy me but she is very likeable.
Kamal is a very mature person who believes in talking about matters and finding a solution. Bilquess Kamal on the other hand believes in having things her way whether someone likes it or not. Yumna is a very sensitive person who has always put her daughters’ happiness before hers. Yumna’s illness will probably make Hiba change her mind but that will not change the fact that Bilquees will leave no stone unturned to ensure that this marriage does not take place.
This latest episode focused on showing the aftermath of Bilquees’ encounter with Yumna. The episode like all others was very well directed right from the start. The encounter scene was very powerful and everyone’s reactions were covered beautifully too. There was no dramatic music or overdone emotions but the intensity of the emotions managed to move me nevertheless. I really like the way the story is progressing so far. Everything about the play from the acting to the happenings is very convincing. Ranjish Hi Sahi has given me nothing to complain about till now.
A couple of days back, I was just wandering at facebook and came across Maulana Tariq Jameel’s Bayan saying “when he met Amir Khan”. I did not give it a watch and move on with searching for other stuff. Twice or thrice , I came across the post again and then decided to watch it after downloading it.
And now that I have watched it, I really want to share that Bayan with my readers too. Maulana eagerly wanted to meet Amir Khan as he wanted to give “Paighaam e Haq” to him,as said by Junaid Jamshed.
After watching whole of the Bayan, I realized that we have made Islam so much difficult to grasp and follow.One can simply go through all teachings of Islam without being ultra-serious. No one said that preach Islam with immense seriousness so that listeners might get bored with what you are saying.
I am badly impressed by the way Maulana Tariq is adopting to preach the religion to Amir; gradually and slowly.For the first time Maulana told about his personal meeting with Amir Khan. Its a must watch video. Do watch it.
P.s. For those who are unable to watch it through this link, visit Maulana Taiq Jameel’s facebook page,it was Bayan of Nov 22nd.
I am waiting for the day when Amir will become a true Muslim.Lets pray that we muslims will get “Khair” from Allah Almighty of which we are deprived now.

Saboor Ali isnot among the leading and most prominent new comers , yet she has the potential to prove herself if she will be provided with the quality projects like her sister Sajjal Ali. So far, she is known for her role in Mehmoodabad Ke Malkayen.After that,she acted in one of the episodes of Kitni Girhain baaqi hain. Last time we saw Saboor onscreen was when she performed in Ary Digital’s Drama Thakan.
She still needs a strong break through and a turning point in her career. For that,she has done a photo shoot recently. Enjoy her pictures here:
We wish her best of luck for her bright career and future.
Core dialogue of the episode: “Shahiq k saath bohat bura hua”, “bhai Shahiq k saath bohat hi bura hua”, “suna sab ne Shahiq k saath bura hua”, “hayeeee hum kahan jayein, Shahiq k saath bura hua”. I think the writer actually ran out of words after she wrote this masterpiece, I am sure she put all the vocab she had in the script so for that reason she was left speechless in literal sense to write some better dialogues.
Just when I thought Areeba has improved her makeup, I couldn’t help noticing the paindu multi-colored chogha she is wearing since I don’t know how many episodes. I think she got married to a rich guy who could afford a variety of dresses so why does she keep on changing dupattas over the same dress?
Arham ne koi teer mara hai after getting an approval for some project, which makes me wonder about how that happened because Arham is our stay-at-home husband, so, anyhow, he was seen pretty happy & quite candid with his brother while speaking about the project as he was quite casually conversing like Oh yaar, but all of a sudden he went into his psycho mode & wanted to run away because of the so-called tamgha he had set shining on his forehead. Accha, all this while I thought this was a happy time for the couple but amidst the forced happiness, Areeba found a time for seclusion to recall the petty past which we have seen & not to forget in a typical dukhi shakal of hers. & immediately after showing she was dukhi, she comes down asking Arham if he had shared the good news (:P) with Shakeel uncle, to Areeba ko kyun maut pari hui thi pehle? I think our becharay stars tried to give in their 100% but alas! The director was joking & I think the shooting of the drama began on 1st of April! :P
Everyone has now started complaining that Shahiq was wronged when he was forced into marrying this evil girl Narmeen, accha now that everyone knows it, why can’t anyone do something to fix it? If they know she wants to move out of the house, why don’t they throw her into some deep pit? Saath rakhna bhi hai aur rona bhi hai!
Areeba tells her father that Arham has become sehma & ghabraya in that house but in the very next scene he is coming down the staircase with this huge smile on his face to share the news of a big project he got approval of? To wo ghabrahat kahan gai? Aur wo sehma-pan? LOL! Initially I thought it was Arham who had lost it but I think the company is doing charm on Areeba & she has started to lose some too, because what she says doesn’t make any sense, anymore.
Narmeen had confessed in front of her mother that no accident ever happened so I am wondering what’s that changing scar doing on her forehead? Accha, when the evil-mama was speaking to her kharant-beti on the phone, I saw Narmeen’s heavy-baba tip-toeing into the room, I thought chalo shuker Aunty ka bhanda aur khali sir phootne wala hai but that scene was snipped without any end to it. I thought that scene would be dragged to the point where uncle will tell aunty to snap out of it but nothing happened, so what was the point of showing uncle doing the light moon-walk over the stairs? LOL, ajeeb hi direction hai bhai.
From the preview of the next torture I mean episode, I gather Narmeen will be exposed as Shahiq will like always eavesdrop on her where she will be confessing in front of her mother about the drama she planned against Arham, so let’s see what will happen or may be nothing might happen because Shahiq did find out about the accident show she put up but he forgot about it too, so I am thinking he might not say a word. Accha, did someone notice that Shahiq was wearing the same shirt in the eavesdropping scene which Arham was wearing in the gunnah scene? I think this shirt or the color is manhoos for this family because every time someone shows up in this color, something bad happens.

Out of many controversial celebrities of Pakistan, it would not be wrong to consider Mathira to be the newest and the quickest in the list. The midnight live show host started her showbiz career with a local channel and soon, for her boldness and divisiveness, Mathira earned a huge prominence among the viewers. It really doesn’t matter whether you hate her or not because the channels are actually aware how to cash her skills. Since the day she has made her debut, she is found in a new scandal before coming out from the previous one completely. Whether it be her dress malfunctioning or her intimate pictures been leaked on internet, whether it be her singing skills or her item number in Main hoon Shahid Afridi, Mathira is the only one to give her a competition.
It has been heard that Mathira responded to Shahid Afridi’s statement regarding the movie MHSA by calling him a mentally gone case, but it comes more as a surprise that the actress has denied the news bluntly.
While giving an interview to a news channel, she clarified that all she actually said about him was that Shahid Afridi has his own thinking but for a film, some spice and at least an item number is necessary. She also praised Shahid Afridi and said that he is one of the heroes of Pakistan and no one can pass a comment such that for him.
Pakistani audience will now soon be enjoying another anticipated movie under the title of ‘The System’ which is still in its early phase and will probably be making its release in 2014. Been directed by Shehzad Ghafoor, the movie is an action based story, focusing on the corruption within the country. Shehzad’s brother Shiraz will play the lead while the cast also includes prominent celebrities such as Irfan Khoosat, Shafqat Cheema and Nadeem Baig.
Shehzad Ghafoor is the son of Ghafoor Butt, a distributor and producer of Pakistani cinema. However, Shehzad does own his own distribution company in Norway. So far, he has mostly done business in Bollywood and Lollywood fare and will now be making his debut as a director with the said film.
Shehzad also shared in one of his interviews that the team will be taking some contributions from the talented Indian musicians to ensure the film holds the best of the quality. He said:
“We are doing something unique, because we have hired a lot of the technical team from India. Four songs on the soundtrack will be produced in India, and will be directed by Shalesh Suwarma, with poetry from Bollywood’s lyricist Irfan Siddiqui. The tracks will include several leading singers such as Javed Ali, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Komal Rizvi, Palak Muchal, Mohit Pathak. Two of the film’s song videos will be shot in Norway.”
Moreover, TheSystem basically will be a Norwegian film in Urdu, subtitled in English, Tamil and Hindi. While Shehzad believes that the market for Pakistani films in Europe and North America is still limited, he plans to release at an international level.
Let us now see how far the movie makes a business here in Pakistan.
Anwar Ali, has been an overnight star for Pakistani cricket. Pakistan beat South Africa in Cape Town, and Anwar Ali was judged man of the match. It was Pakistan’s first win in any one day at Cape Town in seven attempts. Anwar Ali, 26 year old was making his one-day debut for Pakistan, while he has already played T-20 cricket. Anwar came to bat at a crucial time after the fall of seventh wicket, and Pakistan was in danger of being all out before fifty overs. Anwar and Bilawal Bhatti the other debutant played with courage and helped Pakistan post a score of 219. Later in bowling Anwar took cruicial wickets for Kallis and David Miller, which earned him Man of the Match and a win for Pakistan.
It was a dream fairy tale debut for Anwar Ali, making headlines every where but life has not been so kind to him always. Anwar belongs from a troubled and impoverished area of Karachi – Orangi Town. His father passed away when he was quite young, due to which he has to work at young age to share the burden of house. He used to press socks in a factory at that time. Anwar told, he used to earn 200 daily at that time which was insufficient for his family. His mother cannot even spare Rs 50 for him. But still he managed to spare time for his passion the game of cricket.
Anwar’s dream came true when he was selected for trials of Under-19 team of Zone 5. He told, on the demand for regular practice I informed the coach that I do double job so its not possible for me. On that coach Azam Khan and Zafar Ahmed agreed to pay me 4600 rupees monthly and he never turned back afterwards. His consistent performance at zonal and regional level earned him a spot in national under-19. In final of World Under-19 Cup in 2006, his five wickets helped Pakistan to be champion.
Tale of Anwar proves that with consistent hard work and determination success can be achieved.
As Anwar strives towards making an international comeback, he remembers the stick he got from his father who used to discourage him from playing cricket.
“It’s a waste of time, he would tell me. If he was alive now, he’d be really proud of me.”
Here is the excerpt from Urdu Daily Express and Ummat regarding Anwar Ali.
Cricketer Wahab Riaz, who have been dropped from national cricket team due to bad performance in recently concluded series versus South Africa is now facing a police case for violating one-dish rule on his wedding.
A police team raided his Garden Town, Lahore residence on Sunday and registered an FIR under section 188 of Pakistan Penal Code against him for violating a ban on more than one dishes at marriage ceremonies. In Punjab the largest province of Pakistan, there is a ban on serving more than one-dish to guests in wedding functions and parties. All gatherings and functions are also required to be concluded till 10 pm in night whether organized at home or in wedding halls. The law is commonly known as one-dish rule.
“How could police raid and register a case against my son when we were holding the marriage function inside our house,” Riaz’s father Sheikh Sikandar said. He said a police official heading the raiding team wanted “some money” and when his demand was not met he registered the case on the pretext of violating one dish rule.
Station House Officer Adnan Maqsood said the police raided the cricketer’s house on the complaint of city district government official Muhammad Amer.
Wahab Riaz 28 year old, has made his test debut in 2010 versus England. He is married to Zainab Shahid, daughter of famous businessman of Lahore, Chauhdary Shahid..

Here is the actual news excerpt from Urdu Daily Jang
While expressing his views at the Geo Tv Morning show Utho Jago Pakistan,Pakistani cricketer all rounder Shoaib Malik told that he was offered a Bollywood Movie Project in recent past and was asked to be pair up with his real life partner Sania Mirza.
Sania is, indeed, bold, charming, beautiful and has charismatic personality that attracts everyone. Shoaib, on the other hand, is handsome, smart and talented young man of our cricket team.Further,they make perfect couple as well.
For all that and many more, they were asked to do a Bollywood movie project in which they were given lead roles. But they refused to do any role in any movie as all they want now is to concentrate on cricket and tennis.
He was also guided by Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar too and he gave an ear to his advice; After analyzing each and every aspect, both Shoaib and Sania took wise decision that they would only focus on their careers with which they are associated now.
According to me, he did right by refusing to step in world of glam. Atleast,now our showbiz personalities have guts to refuse any of projects offered by Bollywood and they have now learned to make intelligent choices that world doesnot end on Bollywood.. !
Just came across the news on Ary News and want to share it with my readers that a robbery has been reported at Pakistan’s famous Cricket all-rounder Abdul Razzaq’s residential place in Defence Lahore.
It has been reported that robbers took 100 Tolas of Gold, around 8000 US Dollars and electronic items along with them. According to the area’s police, robbers entered the cricketer’s house through washroom window. A case has been registered against the unknown robbers.
It is extremely disappointing and shocking for us Pakistanis that neither famous personalities nor common men are safe anywhere in our country. The law and order situation and more than that, security of citizens have become a serious issue here.
Sajjal Ali & Mikaal Zulfiqar receiving extortion notes and now robbery at Abdul Razzaq’s residence is clearly describing the situation of Pakistan. Do share your opinion and raise your voices against the havoc created in our country.
Blockbuster movie ‘Waar’ has now officially become the highest grossing film in Pakistan of all time after it surpassed ‘Choorian’s’ Rs200 million mark at the box office on just its 36th day of screening.
‘Waar’ has so far earned Rs200,145,809 in a little over five weeks of screenings. The film was initially released on 53 screens at 35 cinemas all across Pakistan on Eidul Azha. It is still playing at five different sites, meaning it could go on to gross a higher total take from the domestic screenings.
Bilal Lashari’s film, which had opened to sold out theatres, is still selling 30-40% of seats with films such as Sanjayleela Bhansali’s ‘Ramleela’ drawing packed houses. ‘Waar‘ is also expected to see a limited release in neighbouring India, and the UK.
‘Waar’ owes its massive success at the box office primarily to a long public holiday when it opened on Eid. More importantly, ‘Waar’ has benefited from an exponential increase in the number of screens over the past year. Of the 63 working screens in Pakistan, 17 were added just in 2013. The advent of multiplexes has also seen the price of tickets double from an average price of Rs150 to Rs350.
The business has proven to be lucrative for entrepreneurs who are seen to be pouring in substantial amount money in opening up bigger and better cinemas in Pakistan. If the sociopolitical situation remains favourable for films, Pakistan could see the number of cinema screens to triple to 200 by 2015.

Here is the roman Urdu version of this interview
Ideal zindagi shayed aisay hee hoti hai
Apni khoobsoorat ada-kaari say sab ko maat denay waali saba qamar nay kitaboN mein bassay kirdaron sey bohat kucch seekha hai
Saba qamar parda-e-seemenN per chamaknay waala who sitara hai jis-ki roshni mein shoalon kee hararat hai aur chaand ki thandak bhi. Kahin who shaukh-o-chanchal adayeN dikhati nazar aati hain to kahin saadgi ka perahan aurhay aik masoom aur gum-sum larki. saba ki yeh versatile nature hi hai jo ussay apni hum-asar adakaraoN mein numayaN kartee hai. who apni jaandaar performance say kissi bhi kirdaar mein jaan daalnay ka hunar jaan-ti hai. nidar, bebaak aur asool pasand saba ko apnay kaam sey ishq hai aur ussay challenge qabool karna bhi pasand hai. isi liye bator heroine career shru karnay kaay baw-jood saba nay har tarah kay kirdaar kiye hain. saba nay comedy bhi ki aur manfi kirdar bhi kiya kyon-kay aik makhsoos chhaap lag jaanay kay dar say wo behtreen ada-kaari ka mauqa nahin chhor saktee . dastaan, maat, paani jaisa pyaar, jo chalay to jaan say guzar gaye, aasiya, yahan pyar nahin hai, thakkan, hum sab umeed say hain jesay mega projects say bey-panah maqbooliyat haasil karnay kaay baad saba apni zindagi aur career say mutma-in to hain magar zindagi kay is safar mein bohat see kamiyabiyan aur khushiyan abhi bhi is bey-baak larki kee muntazir hai jo aagay barhnay kee lagan mein behtar sey behtar kee khhoj mein magan hai (idara)
Mehroomi key baw-jood aik khush-gawar bachpan
Meri walida kaa taaluq qazi syed khandan sey hai aur waalid Karachi kee bukhari family sey hain, isi liye meri zindagi kee ibtida Karachi say hui lekin mehaz teen (3) saal kee umar mein baap kee shafqat say mehroom ho gayee thhee to walida apnay 6 bachon samait apnay abayee shehar Gujranwala aa gayen. Yoon meray bachpan ka zyada tar hissa Gujranwala mein guzra. Mein us waqt bohat chhoti thee jab baba ka intiqal huwa, is liye bohat zyada yaadein samaitnaay ka mauqa naa mil saka. Magar maazi kee dhundhlee see yaad kay jis mein meray baba mujhey gaud mein utha kar balkoni kee sair karwatay thhay, meri sunehri yaadon mein aaj bhi mehfooz hai aur mein aaj bhi apnay shafeeq baap kay mohabbat bharay lamas ko mehsoos kar sakti hoon. Hamary muashray mein jahan mard ko ghar ka kafeel aur muhafiz samjha jaata hai wahan nihayat chhoti umar mein baap ka saaya sar sey utth jaana aik bohat bari mehroomi bhi samjha jaata hai magar meri maan nay kabhi bhi bey-chargee aur bey-basi ka libada na aurha aur na hi apni aulad ko aisa karnay diya. Hum behan bhaiyon nay maan kay aanchal mein chhup kar aik khoobsorat aur zindagi say bharpoor bachpan guzara. Baap kee kami to thee magar baray bhai kaay pyar nay mehroomi kaa ehsaas hee na honay diya. Ghar mein sab say chhoti honay kee wajay sey maan aur behan bhaiyon kee laadli thee. Dar-asal mein zindagi say bhar-pur thhee aur apni zindagi kay har lamhay ko enjoy karna chah-tee thee lekin chaun-kay parhai mein acchi thhee is-liye meri shaukh mizaji aur zinda-dili say kissi ko koi ikhtilaaf nahin thha. Ghar say laad uth-waatay aur dostaun say kheltay huway bachpan kesay guzar gaya pata hee na chala
Showbiz mein kesay aayee?
Bachpan kaa zyada tar waqt gujranwala mein guzra lekin school life khatam honay kaay baad bachon kee mazeed parhai kaay liye ammi hamain Lahore lay aayen. Mujhay bachpan say ada-kaari ka shauq to thha magar showbiz mein entry qudrat ka haseen ittefaq thhaa. Huwa kucch yoon kay college kay dinon mein main apni aik dost (jis ki behan production house mein kaam karti thhee) kaay saath shooting daikhnay gayee wahan dost kee behan ko mujh mein potential nazar aaya aur uss nay mujhey kaam kee offer kar di. Mujhey bhi acting ka shauq thha jesay uss umar mein har khawab daikhnay waali har larki ko hota hai. Magar mujh per qismat kee khaas karam-nawazi thee kay mujhey apni salahi-taun ko aazmaanay ka chance bhi mil gaya aur mein nay dartay huway offer qabool kar lee aur yoon ptv kay dramay ‘mein aik aurat hoon’ kay zariyay apnay career kee seerhi per pehla qadam rakkha.
Khandan ki mukhalfat
Hamray muashray kay dastoor bohat hi niralay hai. Hamain tv per nazar aanay walay fun-kaar bohat acchay lagtaay hain. In kay faishon ko follow karna aur un kay saath tasweerain ban-wanay ka shauq bhi hota hai lekin agar apnay khandaan kee koi larki in fun-karoon kee saf mein khhari ho jaye to yeh ghalat hai. Jab apni zaat per baat aati hai to dastoor badal jaatay hain. Issi qisam kay asool pasand muasharay aur rishtey-daaron nay meray muntakhib karda raastay ko naa sirf ghalat qarar diya balkay mujhey wapis lotnay per majboor bhi kiyaa. Magar mein ruknay waali nahin thee kyon-kay mein jaan-ti thee kaay issi raastay per meri manzil mera intezaar kar rahi hai. Khandaan ki mukhalfat ki wajah se meray liye apnay iss faislay per saabit qadam rehna itnaa aasaan naa hota agar meri family khaas taur per maan aur bhaai ka aitbaar meray saath naa hota. Mein nay bhi hamesha koshish kee hai kaay khud ko scandals say door rakkhon or family kaay aitmaad ko kabhi tootnay naa doon
Muashray ki nazar mein fun-kaar bura hi kyon?
Meray khayal mein acchay burray log har jaga hotay hai is-liye mehaz aik field ko bura kehna ghalat ho gaa. Media aur showbizness aik aisi field hai jis mein sab kuch aap kay samnay hota hai. Is-liye log bhi tanqeed kartay hain aur ungliyan bhi utthataay hain. Aik lark jitni bhi paak-daman ho agar who media mein hai to bay-kirdaar hai aur agar koi larki apnay maan baap kee nazron mein kitni hee dhhool jhonk rahi ho lekin uss kaa taaluq media say nahin hai to muashra ussay paak-damman hee kahay gaa. Hamara muashra tang zehan hai aur hamary mei-yaar society kaay har fard aur tabqay kay liye alag hain. Aik artist agar das (10) dramon mein accha kaam kar raha hai to koi uss ki taareef nahin karay gaa aur agar kahin uss say ghalti ho jaaye to 100 log tanqeed karnay bahir nikal aatay hain
Umeed jo poori huwee
Mein nay mehaz 19 saal kee umar mein industry join kee aur yeh meri khush qismati thee kay mujhey acchay producers, directors kay saath kaam karnay kaa mauqa mila. Lekin geo tv kay comedy show ‘hum sab umeed sey hain’ nay mujhey meri asal pehchaan dee aur mujhey apnay career say jo umeedain thhee who poori hoti nazar aayeen. Magar ‘hum sab umeed say hain’ kee hosting aur acting meray liye bohat bara challenge thha. Jahan mujhey har haal mein apni performance ko 100% ban-ana hota hai. Yeh program kartay huway mujhey ehsaas huwa kaay logon ko hansaana kitnaa mushkil kaam hai, kyon kaay chahay aap beymaar hon, perishaan hon yaa bohat hee buraay mood mein hoon lekin camera kaay saamnay aapko fresh aur mazah say bharpoor hee nazar aana hai. Sanjeeda ada-kaari mein aapkaay paas margin hota hai magar comedy mehnat aur commitment kaay baghair ho hee nahin saktee. ‘Hum sab umeed say hain’ meri zindagi kaa sab se mushkil aur kamyaab project hai
“Maat” meri jeet ban gaya
“hum sab umeed say hain” karnay kaay baad jahan mujhey aik pehchaan milli aur mega projects mein kaam karnay ka mauqa bhi milla. Magar zyada tar serials aur shows mein mujhey shaukh, chanchal aur zindagi say bharpoor larki kaay kirdaar millay magar mein kucch alag karna chah-tee thhi. Aisa kirdaar jo meray baaqi tamam kirdaron say mukhtalif ho jis mein log mujhey aik naye andaaz mein daikh sakain. Aisay mein jab “MAAT” drama mein “SAMAN” ka kirdar karnay ka mauqa mila to mein nay foran yeh offer qabool kar lee. Agar-chay yeh aik manfi kirdaar thha aur koi doosri ada-kaara shayed career kee oonchayee per aisa kirdaar naa karna chahtee magar yahan bhi mein nay apnay dil ke sunni aur iss challenge ko bhi qabool kiya. Shayed meri lagan sachi the is liye yeh ‘maat’ meri zindagi kee jeet ban gaya jis nay mujhey shohrat ki bulandiyon per ponhchaa diya aur logon kaay ilaawa directors nay bhi mujhey aik versatile ada-kaara tasleem kar liya. Is kaay baad mujhey milnay waala har kirdaar munfarid aur behtereen thha
Kirdaar kee nafsiyat ko samajhna zaroori hai
Mein bohat chhoti umer mein showbiz mein aa gayee thhee isliye graduation kay baad taaleem haasil nahin kar saki lekin mujhay mutaalay kaa bohat shauq hai aur mein hamesha kitabain parh-naay kay liye waqt nikaal leti hoon. Mein nay English literature mein Shakespeare aur Paulo Coelho ko parha hai jabkaay urdu mein bano qudsia aur umera ahmed pasandeeda hain. Al-chemist aur peer-e-kaamil who kitabain hain jinhon nay meri soch kaa zawiyaah hee badal diya. Adab kaay ilaawa nafsiyaat mera pasandeeda mazmoon hai aur mein insaani nafsiyat saay mutaaliq kitabin parhti hoon kyon kaay jab tak aap insaani nafsiyaat ko nahin samajh letay kirdaar mein haqeeqat kaa rang nahin bhar saktay. Artist bohat hisaas hota hai who apnay zaati tajarubaat kaay saath saath mushahidaay say bhi bohat kucch seekkhtaa hai. Mujhay in kitabon aur in kitabon mein bassay kirdaroon nay bohat kucch sikkhaya hai.
Mein yoga karti hoon
Log mujhay zindagi say bhar-poor larki samajhtay hain jo kucch had tak theek bhi hai. Meri fitrat mein aik hulchul thee aik toofan thha jis mein meri zaat bahay jaa rahi the. Meri zindagi mein nazm-o-zabt aur thehrao nahin thha. Who tawazun jo aik balance life guzarany kay liye bohat zaroori hai. Apni zindagi mein thehrao laanay aur fitness ko barqarar rakkhnay kay liye mein nay yoga classes shru kar deen. Ab picchlay teen (3) saalon say baa-qayedgee say yoga kar rahee hoon. Meri zaat mein thehrao aur soch mein pukhtagee kee bari wajah yoga hee hai
“Mein manto” mera dream project
Qismat hamesha mujh per meharbaan rahee hai aur shayed meri khush qismati hee hai kaay career kee shuruaat mein hee kayee yaadgaar performances day chukkee hoon lekin har fun-kaar kee tarha behtar say behtreen kaam karnay kee yeh fitri khawahish meray andar zinda hai aur mujhey umeed hai kaay kaay yeh khawahish aur tish-nagi hamesha zinda rahay gee aur meray andar chhupay artist ko kaam karnay per uksaati rahay gee. Wesay to mera har project hee meray dil kaay qareeb hota hai magar is waqt mein jis project per kaam kar rahi hoon uss ka naam hai “mein manto” jo kay mash-hoor afsaana nigar saadat Hassan manto kaay afsanon per mabni aik mega project hai jissay sarmad sultan khoosat direct kar rahay hain. Iss project ko aap mera dream project bhi keh saktay hain, jiss mein log mujhay jald aik naye andaaz mein daikhhin gay. Jab sarmad sultan khoosat nay mujhey yeh role offer kiya to mein bohat nervous thee kaay itna bara aur aham role kesay kar paoon gee magar sarmad sultan kaa yeh kehnaa thha kay yeh role aap kaay illaawa koi aur ada-kaar kar hee nahin sakti, meray liye yeh aik bohat bara compliment hai
Shaadi kab?
Shaadi aik bohat aham faisla hai mein iss mein jalad baazi nahin karna chahtee aur wesay bhi mera yaqeen hai kaay naseeb say zyada aur waqat say pehlay kissi ko kucch nahin miltaa hai. Iss liye jab sahih waqat ho gaat to meri shaadi bhi ho jaye gee. Aaj kal meri shaadi kaay baray mein afwahain manzare-aam per aati rehti hai magar unn mein koi sidaqat nahin. Meray nazdeek shaadi zindagi kaa aik aham faisla balkay turning point hai aur mein jab shaadi karoon gee to ussay kabhi bhi nahin chhupaoon gee aur mein yeh bhi wazah kar dena chah-tee hoon kay meri koi ideal nahin hai. Haan bas mera shareeke safar aik sacha insaan ho gaa
Ideal zindagi kiya hai?
Ideal zindagi wohi hai jis mein aap khush aur mutma-inn hon aur yeh khushi aur itmenaan tab hi hasil hota hai jab aap ko iss haqeeqat per yaqeen aa jaye kay waqat sey pehlay aur naseeb say zyadah kissi ko kucch nahin milta to phhir zyada kee hawas nahin rehti aur insaan ALLAH TAALAA kee naimtoon kaa shukar guzaar ho jaata hai. Aaj mein aapni zindagi say mutma-inn hoon . aap keh saktay hain kay mein aik ideal zindagi guzar rahi hoon. Mohabbat karnay waali family, bulandi ko chhota huwa career aur lakkhon logon ka pyar – – aik ideal zindagi shayed aisee hee hoti hai—!
Award show kiya hain?
Aik ada-kaar kay liye pazee-rayee utnee hee zaroori hai jitnaa kissi poday kay liye paani! Jis tarah poday ko nasho-numa kay liye paani kee zaroorat hoti hai hai ussi tarah har fun-kaar kaay dil mein apnay fun ko nikkharnaay kay kee umang mojood hoti hai aur iss jazbay ko zinda aur tawanaa rakkhnay kay liye pazi-rayee bohat zaroori hai. Artist ko yeh pazi-rayee faraham karnay kay liye award show aik bohat aham zariya hain basher-tekay yeh award merit per diya jayen. Aik to hamary mulk mein award shows hotay hee bohat kam hain aur jo chand gintee kaay award hotay hain uun mein merit kaa koi tasawur nahin. Yoon lagta hai jesay award jury apni zaati pasand aur face value per logon ko nawaz rahi hai jabkay award denay kaa asal may-yaar sirf aur sirf performance honi chahiyay
Confused muashray kay liye
Mein Pakistani hoon aur mujhay apnay Pakistani honay per fakhar hai mein kissi Indian film mein maamooli saa kirdaar karnaay kee khawahish-mand nahin hoon. Haan agar donon mulk barabree kee satah per kaam karain to uss ka fayeda donon mumaalik kaay funkaaron ko ho gaa. Iss waqt halaat yeh hain kaay tamam Indian aur Turkish ada-kaar to Pakistan kay har ghar aur tv lounge mein dasti-yaab hain magar Pakistani ada-kaaron ko unkaay ghar mein koi nahin jaan-taa. Is kaay bar-aks india kaa koi third class actor bhi Pakistan aa jaye to media aur awam paaglon kee tarah uss ka istaqbaal kartee hay. Iss waqt hamary mulk mein indian aur Turkish drama nashar karnay kaa jo riwaaj chal niklaa hai iss khatarnaak riwayat seay agar-chay Pakistani channels to khoob kama rahay hain lekin agar rating barhaanay kee daur mein shaamil channels ko bar-waqt naa roka gaya to iss kaay sangeen natayej pooray muashray ko apni lapait mein lay lain gay. Pehlay hamara artist khatam ho gaa aur phhir Pakistani siqafat — hamara media aur awam Turkish drama mein nazar aanay waali fahashi ko public demand kaa naam deti hai magar yehi libaas agar Pakistani ada-kaarayen pehan lain to sab kee ungliyan khari hoti hai. Dar-asal ham confused qaum hain jis nay dohray may-yaar apnaa rakhay hain aur hamara media iss gumrah qaum kee islaah karnay ki bajaye mazeed gumrah kar raha hai
What keeps me engross in this drama is its ‘stillness’ I think. I have been following this serial from the very first episode and found the characters of Gaiti’s parents much close to reality. There are people like these, the fathers who dictate their families, the mothers who try supporting their children to excel, taking all the risks upon their souls.
The Nikkah controversy was really something new which I came across this season, though I hold different views on making such a sensitive issue as the center of discussion, it might however, reflect a few stories who have witness such of an awkwardness.
This is really not a review of yesterday’s episode, but actually a notifier that ‘something’ has finally happened. Like all her previous attempts, even this time Gaiti again decides to tell Arsal everything but what happened today was something which half of the audience feared to watch from the very first day. I wonder what stopped the lady from revealing the truth to her husband who seemed to be a decent and reasonable man. I have completely failed to take more of Kiran’s madness. Arsal’s frustration is genuine and acceptable-both, but the story could have been the same way too without showing him drunk anyway. Take it as a tradition or backwardness of the majority of our society, ‘that’ scene must have made a few of you a little uneasy in case you were watching it with your family. All I could say while watching the drama was, “Bibi yeh to hona hi tha. Aur raho chup!”
Let us not turn the topic controversial this time by raising a debate whether it was an appropriate theme to be shown in a drama or not, but let us only stick to the drama and the characters only. What do you think how would the drama now be, will Gaiti now forgive Arsal and will tell him the truth or the same silence is what the audience will see for the upcoming 4 weeks.
The twist was big, and so was the reaction of everybody in the haveli. These two episodes concentrated more on everybody’s reaction to this big news. As expected, nobody was ready to believe that Shahab and Maira were telling the truth.
I was not shocked by anyone’s reaction at the haveli, but what shocked me the most was Manager Sahab’s (Maira’s father) reaction to the news. There is disbelief and there is complete denial, and he completely refused to believe this news for the second. ‘Yeh to aisa hai jaise suraj magrib se nikla ho’, his words broke Maira’s heart who was expecting that at least her own family would believe her. When her own father was not ready to believe her, then how can she expect anyone else to believe her? His father is a really annoying character; he is pleased with her only if she does everything according to him, and as soon as he thinks she has done something against his wishes, he just disowns without thinking for a second.
Shahab was going the coward’s way and decided to hide the news from everybody, but this time Maira did not keep quiet, and told him to stand for himself for once in his lifetime. Maira’s outburst actually worked and we saw a new side of Shahab. He refused to follow Badi Sarkar’s order to marry Fatima, and the way he held Maira’s hand and went away from there showed complete defiance. Maira’s looked at Shahab in disbelief when he told Badi Sarkar the news without any fear. This gave her courage and she also stood tall against Badi Sarkar. As expected, she thought that this was some plan devised by Maira herself and refused to believe anything.
The best part was when Amna overheard their conversation and did not waste time to announce the news to everybody. Obviously, no one believed a single word coming out of her mouth. Who would believe a complete lunatic? Sakina Sammo was spot on in the scene where she announced the news in front of Fatima and her parents. She made me laugh so much; I was literally in tears during the scene. Nobody believed Amna, but everybody believed Shahab when he came and announced that Amna was telling the truth. He actually had the guts to congratulate Sikander! The look on Fatima and her parent’s faces was priceless!
I wish it was end of Fatima’s chapter, but unfortunately it was not. Badi Sarkar went to Sikander’s house and did not leave even when Sikander insulted her so badly. Fatima, as usual, took Badi Sarkar’s side as she was sure that Maira was lying.
Another shocking revelation was that the tradition of getting the child from the third wife is a forced tradition and not a natural one. It is not that there has never been a child from the first two wives, it is just that it has been made sure for generations that the waris does not come from the first and second wife. The example is Amna herself who finally revealed what had been done to her all those years ago when she was too young to understand anything. I really felt bad for her after hearing this. Naseemi made sure that Peer Jalal knows that his secret is out but Badi Sarkar, surprisingly, seemed unaware of this.
Maira had faith in Peer Jalal because he had trusted her before, and she was extremely disappointed when he also refused to believe her. Maira was not ready to take any chance after what Amna had told her as she did not trust anyone except Shahab. She refused to go to the doctor with Peer Jalal and Badi Sarkar if Shahab was not there. Peer Jalal is now aware that Naseemi knows about his secret, so he would not refuse Maira’s demand to call the doctor at the haveli.
According to the preview for the next episode, everybody would get to know that Shahab and Maira were telling the truth all along. Now the question is: what will Badi Sarkar do next?
This show is getting more interesting by the day, so stay tuned!
It is about ten years back that Ali Zafar was all known for his singing when his soundtrack ‘Channo’ made its entry in the chartbusters.

Geo is offering a complete package of entertainment having all the success ingredients to make the new projects hit one after another but its viewership is really far behind as compared to that of HUM or ARY. With dramas like Aasmano par Likha and Numm, Geo has even tried investing on popular celebrities but it seems more like a bad luck that Geo is not able to revive its old feel among the viewers who are now attached to other private channels.

Whether you hate her or you love her anyway, it makes no difference for the very prominent-yet the very controversial actress Veena Malik. Starting her career with Pakistani lollywood movies, Veena soon convinced the audience through her acting skills which she did reflect in dramas like ‘Sirf Tumhare liye’ and comedy shows like ‘Hum Sab Umeed se hain’. Pakistan’s film industry, however, had been going through a serious drawback in past forced many actors in Pakistan to seek a better future in the neighboring country. Veena Malik, who once said while still being in Pakistan that there is no harm in doing the bold scenes, soon got highlighted in India for her appearance in Bigg Boss.

Aasmanon Pay Likha is one of the most popular dramas on air right now. The promos were enough to attract people. A bit of cheesy romance is always liked by the audiences since most shows nowadays address social issues. The story might have many flaws, and Sheheryar Munawar’s acting may not be perfect, but still viewers do not forget to tune into this show every week. The highlight of this show is the chemistry between the leads and Sajjal Ali’s flawless acting.
This show has gone viral on the social media too, thanks to its highly active official facebook page. There are two official pages of current dramas which are pretty active. One is the facebook page of Aasmanon Pay Likha and the other is of Numm. Aasmanon Pay Likha has started posting Memes for the promotion of the serial. Last time I saw so many memes going around the social media, it was for the show Humsafar. Memes are always a good marketing strategy especially on the social media. Here are a few hilarious memes that they shared on their page:
If this was not enough, they also released a few bloopers on the request of fans.
First of all, sorry for the extremely late review, last week was pretty hectic. Now coming to the episode, it was just a continuation of Ahad’s schemes, and now he is even using his own sister as a pawn in his plan. Haaniyah is the only one who knows what he is up to, and the only reason she is quiet is because she does not want to break Ahmed and his parents’ heart by revealing what he is up to.
Just when I thought Ahad could not get any lower, he surprised me, and we got to see some real down market tactics used by him. When Zehra saw him troubling Haaniyah, and was on the verge of revealing his façade, he used her as a pawn in his plan. He knew her weakness was the guy she was in love with, and he won her over by promising to help her convince everyone to accept her choice. And the naïve Zehra believed him, even after seeing how he was betraying Ahmed and the family, she still chose to believe him. Maybe because it was her last glimmer of hope?
In this episode, the concentration was more on Zehra’s track. How she was being a bit stubborn about marrying anyone other than the guy she was in love with. The whole house got worried when they heard of this, and Ahmed even found out a bit about the guy and he was in no way a match for his sister. Ahad became the savior of the day when he convinced (more like manipulated) Zehra to agree to marry Zain for the time being, and then he will think of something else. Ahmed and his parents couldn’t be happier to see the change in Ahad, and how responsible he had become!
Haaniyah got to know his real intentions when she overheard the conversation between him and Zehra. I personally think she should have gone and told Ahmed everything when she saw him using Zehra for his selfish purposes. But she chose to give him one last warning first! Haaniyah is going to get in a lot of trouble for keeping quiet, I am sure of that! And plus, her mother-in-law saw her coming out of Ahad’s room in the night and this is enough to plant a seed of doubt in her mind.
I do not mind watching Zehra’s track; at least it is better than watching the outspoken and outrageous Samina. Finally, she got her wish and now she is expecting. Things are also getting better between her and Ahsan, and I hope it remains like that. Samina’s mother was giving Samina the special treatment because of her condition, but what about her own daughter-in-law who is in the same condition? She works to the bone, and is not given a word of appreciation at the end of the day. Mother-in-laws will always be mother-in-laws, wouldn’t they?
The best part of the episode was of course all Ahmed and Haaniyah scenes. My personal favorite one this week was the scene where Haaniyah was praying, and Ahmed comes and watches her. This scene gave me a déjà vu feeling because we have seen similar scenes in other shows too. Right now I can recall two: Dastaan and Humsafar. Even though we have seen this kind of scene before, it was still enjoyable to watch it in this show too. The awkward situation they both got into when Ahmed’s parents asked when they are going to hear the good news was hilarious, especially Ahad’s expressions.
The preview for the next episode was a bit scary in my opinion. In the upcoming episodes, I have a feeling we will see everyone having doubts in their mind about Ahad and Haaniyah. I really hope Ahmed does not think the same though! He is very understanding, and I hope he always stands by Haaniyah’s side.
I would love to hear your opinion about the episode, so do leave a comment!
This play would be much more bearable if everyone spoke faster, thought less and of course talked sense. The opening conversation between Neelam and Wali was too long and too annoying. Fawad Khan’s expressions were very misleading in many of the scenes. Did the director request him to give people dirty looks? Usually Fawad Khan is one of those actors who convey a great deal with their expressions but his performance has been very disappointing in the past few episodes. He looks bored and disinterested most of the times. Numm may not be a masterpiece but since he chose to be a part of it, he could have given it his best even if he realized he didn’t make a wise decision by choosing to be a part of the project.
I totally failed to understand Qasim’s new found confidence especially after watching him run for his life when Wali came back home. The scenes between Mahjabeen and Qasim never have anything new to offer; it is the same thing over and over again. The way these two meet is also very unbelievable. There was talk of inheritance today between the two, Mahjabeen told him loud and clear that no one was going to give him his share even if they found out who he was.
The scene in which Mahjabeen pours her heart out should have been very moving but somehow I didn’t feel for her at all in that scene. That is the worst thing about this play; I feel completely detached from the characters.
It was good to see Wali smiling after what seemed like a very long time when he managed to make the workers happy. His conversation with Bare Sahab said a great deal about how Wali felt about him. Sometimes it seems like Wali does not have any respect for him at all. Bare Sahab does not have the courage to face Amtul because for some reason he must hold himself responsible for whatever happened in the past. Fawad Khan really should stop mumbling ASAP, I am tired of trying to understand what he says in different scenes. The viewers found out more about Mahjabeen’s background today. the flashback scene went to show that she didn’t come from a very well off family.
The preview of the next episode showed that Wali and Qasim finally come face to face and for some reason Wali decides to give Mahjabeen her share of inheritance. Honestly speaking, I have totally given up on this play. I find nothing unusual or fascinating about it at all. It isn’t even one of those plays which you can continue watching out of curiosity because you know that the next episode is going to be just as dull and boring as the last one! I couldn’t care less if Wali killed Qasim or Mahjabeen committed suicide or Neelam decides to elope with Minahil’s class fellow!
Not too happening an episode, started with Ali apologizing to Ehtesham and ended with Sania announcing that she’d do a job to share Ali’s responsibilities, how’s that for a short review! I know I am mean but you guys wanted a short review, didn’t you! As if I wrote a chemistry lesson on which you were to be tested in next few hours!!!!
Today’s episode also left the question whether Sania really resents not being married to Ehtesham (as Ehtesham had aptly put it to Sania) or whether she dislikes Ehtesham because he rejected her for no reason. I could clearly see envy in her eyes when she went to meet Sehrish who told that Ehtesham made breakfast for her and really cared for her as she’s expecting.
Jewelry remained a big issue throughout this episode as Ali wanted to start a business, for that he wanted to sell Sania’s jewelry who remained confused whether to give it to Ali or not. So many scenes had the mention of jewelry that it looked like the jewelry was the hero over here.
The most irritating couple (jee meree ap kee duyaon mein aj kul kee medicines kee tarha asar naheen) Maham and Atif appear again. Chalain sub mil k paisay jama kartay hain so that we can bribe the director to cut out their roles from future episodes. Now don’t you people disappear!
Atif qualifies to be a perfect aunty bee-jamalo as they were discussing the supposed affair of Ehtesham-Sania post the dinner that Sehrish had invited them to with such surety as if they had seen everything with their own eyes (Atif ganjay ko to waisay hee kum nazar ata hai, pata naheen us kee glasses phisal ke gir kyun naheen jatee). This episode had very less of Badar Khalil which was a relief but Ganja-Ganjee (Ganjay kee biwi Ganjee!) ne kasar pooree kar dee.
During the dinner, Maham taunted Ehtesham indirectly about Sania and also tried to photograph Sania with Ehtesham which upset Sania who refused point blankly. And yes, Ali is not such a villain after all, he does have same feelings. He made Sania go to Sehrish, accepted their dinner invitation and even apologized to Ehtesham. Ub baad mein us ke par nikal ayain to mujhe maaf kar dena bhayiyon, behnon aur behnoyiyon!
What I failed to understand was Sehrish’s desperation to make friends with Sania. Is she so friendly with everyone, genuinely likes Sania or takes pity on her. I could almost imagine her saying ‘us se dostee na huee to mein mar jaoon gee ’. This serial is also an on-screen role reversal, Syed Jibran is living with Adeel Hussain’s wife from Daam and Adeel Hussain is keeping Syed Jibran’s beloved from Khuda Zameen Se Gaya Naheen happy! Kiya kiya hota hai is duniya mein, tauba tauba (kidding, kids don’t mind!)
This serial is definitely stylishly shot on the pattern of Turkish serials, its feel remains very real even in today’s episode as they captured the anxiety before a child’s admission test and actual test process very well. Chalain kafee ho gaya for today, miltay hain break ke baad aur agar kisi ko ub bhee yeh review lamba laga hai to sara parhnay ko kis hakeem ne kaha tha, course books kee tarha parh letey!
We did update our readers about Humaima’s about-to-start Bollywood career with an upcoming film ‘Shaatir’, in which Humaima will be seen sharing the screen with Bollywood’s most controversial actor Emran Hashmi. Humaima, after earning much of respect and fame for her acting skills within Pakistan, is really hopeful for her debut film in India.
It comes as no surprise that like all his previous movies, even Emran’s character in the Shaatir demands some bold scenes which, Humaima has refused to shoot. This has shocked the director of the film while her fans in Pakistan are found appreciating her decision.
This is perhaps a different news coming all the way from Bollywood regarding the Pakistani celebrities, who most of the time are ready to do any role, decent or bold, in India.
The movie is expected to make its release soon in 2014.
Even though the drama has a seen-before story, the execution makes us want to see it how it unfolds. I am kind of interested to see how their lives move along just because the protagonists share some strong chemistry & even though there are a few more negative characters, each one of the actors deserve appreciation for their effortless performances.
Arez’s family is everything any girl would never wish for but in the meantime Eshal has learnt how to tackle them just because she can now swirl their words in her own favour. Soni is a nightmare because she is only good at stirring negativity up. I am confused at what label should be given to Arez for being a husband like that. At times, he does seem nice – like a person who’d want to take care of his wife but on the other he is just a typical male who can’t take a stand for his wife in front of his family.
Arez obviously knows how negative his sister is, so he should be prepared to take care of things his way. I think the amount of sacrifice Eeshal is putting to make this marriage work is way more than Arez. Obviously Eeshal’s background never allowed her to experience things she is experiencing after getting married to Arez, so for this he must at least give some consideration & serious thinking to the things that are absolutely going wrong or against Eeshal because till now she has proved herself to be a good wife who doesn’t want much from him or his family but just a peace of mind.
Arez’s mother definitely has some double standards where Eeshal’s getting candid with her cousin may look bad to her but when Eeshal’s devar shares the room for a power nap with her bhabhi, it goes unnoticed. I think no matter how greedy people may get, no one goes into the room of the married brother to just sleep because that room has a facility of air conditioning. I know there may be certain real-life stories like this one but it wasn’t appeasing to see it happening on screen.
Eva as usual continues to disappoint where she makes a fuss & ridicules Eeshal’s bike-ride. I am sure Rehbar has his plan of revenge going on where he might sadly use Eeshal to get back to his father in law for what he did to Rehbar’s business.
I must say the moments Eeshal & Arez spend together were worth watching & it does come across as a nice message that no matter how hard it might get, if the husband & wife are ready to support one another as a couple, they can overcome anything. I hope Soni gets married to Eeshal’s cousin Sunny because she for sure was spell bound after seeing him around. Eeshal did get heed of the look in Soni’s eyes but that’s the positivity of Eeshal’s character that she doesn’t make fuss about such things & rather keeps it to herself. Eeshal at times may look like a naive girl who’s hopelessly in love – to a point where she may look immature but what makes her strong is the stamina to deal with the negative things on her own without leaning much on her husband & without complaining about & without sharing her difficulties with anyone.
So far the drama is going just on the right track so let’s see what happens next. It may not be something extra-ordinary to watch but it’s a decent attempt of a fine entertainment which can be given a try.
After watching this latest episode I have to say that the story should be wrapped up as soon as possible because there were quite a few scenes in tonight’s episode which we have seen over and over again. Kiran’s track in particular was covered very nicely but there was a little too much of Faiqa and Kamal in this episode. The conversation between Faiqa and her husband is getting highly monotonous and repetitive.
Arzoo finally decided to put her foot down but that did not resolve any of her problems. The reason for that is quite obvious; Sikandar still hasn’t gotten over Kiran and he was never attracted to Arzoo in the first place. When Kiran was in Sikandar’s life, she was the centre of Sikandar’s world. He abused her and ill treated her no doubt about that but Kiran was a very important part of Sikandar’s life. Things are completely different with Arzoo. No matter how hard she tries all she gets from Sikandar is a very cold shoulder. Arzoo is learning her lesson the hard way; you can’t make someone fall in love with you. Faiqa, like a complete fool continued to defend Sikandar in front of her husband solely because he is her sister’s son. Sikandar has to live with Arzoo whether he likes it or not and that to me is his punishment. It must be very tormenting for a control freak like Sikandar to let someone else make such big decisions for him. Sometimes I find it funny the way Faiqa and Kamal are always trying to blame each others family members for everything.
Kiran’s problems couldn’t have been portrayed more beautifully. She is married to a very reasonable man, her mother in law isn’t a bad person too but her life is a living hell just because of one person. The way that her conversations with Rukhsar are interpreted is beyond her. She is a no-win situation but like she said to her mother, she does not have the strength to fight more battles now.
Rukhsar’s complexes coupled with her present situation have made her an unbearable person. Uroosa Siddiqui’s character maybe very annoying but her acting is beyond brilliant. She is a natural who I am sure doesn’t need to be told what she needs to do.
Overall, this was a very slow episode with some scenes that were very well directed and acted out but there were enough scenes which were too long. For example the conversation between Aysha and Jamal could have been easily chopped down. Same was the case with many other conversations tonight, which could have been short and sweet. Showing every single character’s reaction to everything that happened tonight was totally pointless. Kiran’s problems obviously needed to be covered but Sikandar’s track was given a little more time than needed.
I must say that Hum TV has made a habit of stretching Umera Ahmed’s plays in particular for no reason. The viewers expect the last few episodes to be the most poignant ones and that is only possible if the scenes are short and to the point. This episode could have been far better. The happenings were very real and relatable like always but it wasn’t entertaining and fast paced. I have to say though that every episode of Kankar has something special to its credit, I just wish we didn’t have to fish it out! Do share your thoughts about this latest installment.
