Poor Natasha, she brings it on herself. Despite having such an adoring and may I add, sexy, husband she is still so pissed and moody all the time. Even when Zeb was comfortably away in Pakistan helping out Dilawar, Natasha could never crack a smile. Such people make me feel sad for humanity really but hey, maybe she’s going to change in the end.
The thing which touched my heart most in this episode was the way Muneeze behaved. Unlike her brothers, she does not get intimidated by Natasha and when Natasha came to her house, she did not hesitate to give her a piece of her mind. After all, Natasha has some guts! Banning Muneeze from coming to her house and then showing up at Muneeze’s doorstep as if they are best of friends. Muneeze truly is an admirable person, who found it in herself to forgive Zeb who appears to have truly reformed.
I was also glad to see that Mikaal and Zeb continue to be friends, despite the breaking of their engagement. I felt that their friendship, one borne from a common desire to help others, was much more important. Perhaps, Mikaal was only meant to be her friend, who was not fully at ease with Zeb and her freedom.
It was ever so dramatic when Natasha was cruelly and unfairly sending Zeb back to Pakistan (while Natasha herself was the one to blame for the scene at Muneeze’s house!) and Rayaan stepped in and revealed that he wanted to propose to Zeb. Rayaan and Zeb will make a perfectly cute couple and I hope sincerely that they do end up married, despite Natasha’s earnest efforts to the contrary.
Another thing which should happen is that if they do get married, they should totally get another house, away from the crazy Natasha. Natasha is a real piece of work and I cannot imagine how someone could be so mean and angry all the time. It makes me shudder to think of how their childhood must have been. Sisters should always love another and moreover avoid petty rivalries. Otherwise, these rivalries grow so much that they make you completely horrible people. So for everyone out there, give your sibling a great big hug!
As for the serial, let’s see how it turns out. We have a real storm coming when Mikaal and Zeb’s parents get to know of the proposal. What do you think? Should Zeb accept Rayaan’s proposal and find her own happiness? Tell us in the comments!
There was a great deal of development in the story in this latest episode and all the different tracks seem to be heading towards the conclusion. Each episode of
Mirat-ul-Uroos gives me so much to talk about that I am not very sure where to start from. Hammad finally started getting tired of Ayza’s fazool kharchis and told her how he felt about it every chance he got. Ayza like always thought she knew better and didn’t listen to a word of what Hammad had to say. Hammad also realizes that in the past few years things have changed drastically; he has lost the respect and position he had in his mother’s house and the realization that he was no longer the apple of his mother’s eyes or the respected older brother he once was, was nothing short of a shock for him. He obviously thought that his family would continue having a high opinion of him and let him have a say in what goes around in the house even after everything he did. Hammad’s family has moved on and it was actually great to see that. It was actually very surprising to know that Hammad’s family did not even tell him about his younger brother’s result.
Aima feels envious of her sister after meeting her and wonders if it really does pay off to be selfless and sacrificing. Ayza had been so selfish after her marriage but she still had a wonderful, carefree life whereas Aima had to struggle very hard although her intentions were always good. I have always enjoyed Aima’s conversations with her mother; they always strike as very real to me. It was perfectly natural for Aima to feel that way. Hashim finally seems to have matured and now has a job which everyone is happy with, not only this their family has grown. Aima’s patience and perseverance has paid off and she has made a very special place in the heart of all the members of her new family.
How interesting and apt was the discussion between Hamnah and Rafia about superstitions. I am glad the issue was addressed because since day one Rafia was continuously going on about good and bad omens.
Farhan’s character was a good addition to the story; he is straight forward and definitely takes after his mother and Aima more than Ayza or daddi. I wish though that we didn’t have to listen to the same issues being discussed over and over again. Yet again there was a big controversy in this episode regarding Farhan and Joey’s engagement. Farhan didn’t want a grand function and Joey wanted one. Nawaz and his wife were bent on getting their only daughter engaged to a guy she had nothing in common with and all this time I was left wondering why they were so desperate. They resorted to cheating and lying in order to get the two engaged thanks to Akbari’s advice of course! There was very big change in Nasir’s behavior this time around, he did not let Akbari convince him to do something he did not want to and for once he put his foot down. It was good to see that he had learned his lesson well and was not going to repeat the same mistake which he did when he was marrying Ayza. Akbari is still the same and I don’t think she is ever going to change her ways.
Farhan sees through Joey and suspects already that she may not be very eager to live in Pakistan and the next episode is probably going to be more about Farhan/Joey and Hammad/Ayza.
One thing which I could not help but notice was that almost everyone (the men and the women both) were wearing the same shade of lipstick ;). The makeup artist could have done a better job. Otherwise this episode was very entertaining as usual and I am looking forward to more…25 episodes and still counting!!
No matter how blessed, positive or upbeat a person is, every now and then everyone feels gloomy. There are times when all of us don’t have the strength to go on with life; the reasons for feeling this way can be many. It could be because we have just lost a loved one, are not feeling well, someone we love is unwell, things are not going the way we had planned, there are too many problems to which we do not have the solution or simply because you get up one morning and feel sad. Yes, there are times when we feel sad and lonely for no reason at all. What do you do when you feel this way? Do you try and get yourself out of this state of mind or do you let it take the best of you? Every time I feel sad I try and gather myself up as soon as I can, although it is not easy but the following things that I am listing below help. It would be very nice of you to take out some time and go through what I have to say.
When you are feeling depressed, tell yourself tomorrow is another day.Yes this is the first trick in the book for me, no matter how wrong things are today, there is always tomorrow to look forward to. I remember when I was a little girl I used to love the song “tomorrow tomorrow I love you tomorrow because you are always a day away”. It made perfect sense to me then and it still makes perfect sense to me now. No matter how tough life is today and how sad you may feel tomorrow is going to be a brand new day which will give you the energy and strength to start afresh.
Count your blessings. We hardly ever sit down to count our blessings on daily basis, in our hearts we are all thankful that all is going well for us but how many of us actually sit down to think about the things that we should be thankful for. Next time you feel dejected, sad, despondent, low-spirited or downcast do try and count your blessings. I am not in the favor of comparing oneself with others but sometimes it does help. Compare yourself to those who are less privileged, the people who have to work day and night for bread and butter or those around you who are not as blessed as you are. It will definitely make you feel a lot better and maybe a little grateful too.
Think of days that were worse than the one you are having today.Yes comparison again, when you think things could not get any worse and you can’t find a way out of things then think of the days when you had more problems. This way you will realize your strength and also understand that all bad days end and there are good times ahead.
Read something inspirational. I always read inspirational quotations or a short novel that will motivate me to look ahead and get over the sadness. Simple quotations like “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” make me feel good very quickly.
Talk to someone you can pour your heart out to. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a sibling, parent or a friend whom they can confide in or are so close to that they do not have to think twice before sharing with them how they feel. But if you have someone like that in your life, you are very lucky and I suggest you make the most of it. Talk to that person, get it out of your system and you are sure to feel better.
Write down how you feel.If you have no one talk to, write the way you feel or anything you want to on a piece of paper. Sometime writing your thoughts down can actually give you solution to your problems and if nothing else it gives you a chance to vent out.
If you have kids around you, spend some time with them.Spending time with children can be very therapeutic sometimes because you don’t expect anything from them and they give you a reason to smile.
Get out of the house and be around people who you know love you. When one is felling sad, you don’t usually want to go out but if you push yourself and go out and be with people who are closest to you, you will get some positive energy from them that will help. You don’t have to share how you feel but all you need to do is to be around them.
Last but not the least, here is something that will definitely help.
The gorgeous Mahira Khan is back with more power and will be seen in an upcoming movie “Uninhibited”. According to the sources, the news has just been cracked on her official fan page with the following clicks from the set of the movie. Although it is difficult to state more about the venture as no official announcements have been made regarding the film and all for now is the fact that your favorite Mahira Khan will soon be seen in a movie.
Another heart breaking episode! Situation is taking turn for the worst for Irfa as she faces new problems and hurdles every other day. Just when she thought Shayan’s attitude was finally improving and he had started caring for Rahima and her, Maleeha came and gave her the news that she and Shayan had gotten married. This news shattered her and broke her heart! She had not expected Shayan to take such a drastic step without thinking of her and Rahima! I do not think Irfa should have expected anything else from someone like Shayan. He had never stuck to one thing in his life as he needs change all the time.
Shayan has started to get irritated by Maleeha’s attitude, constant demands and mood swings. He is not the type of person who would tolerate such a behavior and this is the reason why he stopped going to Maleeha and spent more time with Rahima and Irfa. Even irfa was surprised at this sudden change and was happy to see Shayan spending some quality time with her and Rahima. She finally felt that her family was complete now that and her dialogues reflected her feelings:
“Bohat Acha Lagraha Hai Tumhara Rahima Aur Mere Saath Hona. Aisa Lagraha Hai Meri Duniya Mukamal Hogaee Hai”
But her happiness was short lived as Maleeha came to pick Shayan up from his house and forced him to come with her. Shayan was again seen lying to Irfa as he did not tell her that Maleeha had come to pick him up. However, Irfa got to know that Shayan had lied to her when Dr. Bilal told her that he had seen Shayan with a woman in the parking lot. Irfa’s attitude towards Shayan changed after that and they had another fight. He again told her that he had made a mistake when he married her and his words once again left Irfa hurt. According to Shayan, Irfa always complains about everything and as an artist he needs his mind to be at peace. Shayan only cares about his own life and his peace of mind. He just does not care what other people go through because of his careless attitude.
It is good to see Dr. Bilal and Manahil happy in their life and I look forward to their scenes. Dr. Bilal is such a caring and loving husband and never complains about not having kids. Manahil herself makes such a big issue out of it even when Bilal has told her a million times that he does not care if they have children or not. Manahil’s attitude towards Irfa has also changed as she went so far as to invite Irfa to Bilal’s birthday. Bilal seemed surprised and happy to see the change in her attitude and compliments Irfa that she managed to create a place in Manahil’s heart which is a big feat in itself. Irfa laughs off at the compliment and tells him that she does not know how to make place in anyone’s heart and in reply Bilal said a beautiful line:
‘Jo Insan Khud To Ehmiat Deta Hai Woh Dosro Se Ehmiat Pata Hai’
If Irfa would start giving importance to herself then automatically other people would also give her importance. She just needs to change her outlook on life. Well said Dr. Bilal! Let’s see if Irfa would change herself after Shayan’s betrayal.
Irfa was extremely hurt after getting to know about Shayan and Maleeha’s marriage and in her emotional state; she took the decision to leave the house. However, Shayan refused to let her go and tried to put some sense into her. He told her to think about Rahima and her health as she needs his support for her treatment. He failed to show a bit of remorse on his decision to marry Maleeha and created the subject very casually as if it was not a big deal at all!
Adeel Farooqui is trying to put some sense into Maleeha and tried to make her understand that she cannot expect Shayan to leave his daughter and wife for you as they have been a part of his life way before you had come in his life. If at this point, he leaves them then somewhere in the future he can also leave you for someone else! It was the first time I agreed with Adeel Farooqui. I doubt he would take much time to leave Maleeha if she keeps on pestering him about everything!
Irfa would not leave the house because of Rahima and it does not seem like Shayan would change or feel guilty about his decision anytime soon. So what will happen next? I am curious to know how the story will proceed now. Let’s see what is in store for us!
I am speechless after watching this episode! Zoya has turned out to be such a huge disappointment as she left no chance to add fuel to the already burning fire. Adeel was already very upset with Silah because she started the job without his permission and on top of that Zoya kept filing him ears against Silah. She exaggerated things on her own and told Adeel a totally different version of what Silah had actually said and she managed to hit a sore point. She kept on telling him that Silah thinks he is not able to fulfill his responsibilities and provide for his family and he likes to laze around all day. She kept on making him aware what a big favour Silah is doing on him by working and how hard it is to manage the house and job at the same time. Adeel being the egoistic kind could not digest Silah talking about him in such a manner and his attitude towards Silah started to become harsher than before. He started being more stubborn and impractical and refused to cooperate with or support Silah in any manner.
Silah on the other hand is still being utterly naive and is unable to understand Zoya’s real intentions. Sometimes even I do not understand what Zoya really wants? She seems interested in Adeel and is fascinated by the love she had seen between Silah and Adeel and I think she wants the same for herself. Zoya is also brainwashing Silah and keeps on telling her that Adeel does not care about her and Affan but Silah still has enough sense in her not to doubt Adeel’s intentions. She cares about him even after the way he is behaving with her and although she is upset with him, she does not show it. The scene where she tells him to come and eat food and he behaves childishly and refuses to eat but she still insists for him to eat shows how much she cares.
A lot of changes happened in the month after Silah’s job started. Zoya and Adeel have started to form a friendly relationship since he spends the entire day with her around. At first he used to get very irritated with her coming to his house all the time but now he does not mind and welcomes her whenever she comes. Adeel is also fine with Silah’s job now and has stopped his childish behavior. He has even started to help her out with the chores. The scene where he makes tea for her in the morning was extremely cute. I was surprised to see the drastic change in Adeel. Another scene which i loved was when Silah was going to an office party and Adeel complimented on how beautiful she was looking! Finally we got to see a normal scene between them and I was glad to see the glimpse of our old loving Adeel.
It was about time Silah realized how close Zoya and Adeel were getting by the day. She finally started noticing Adeel’s changed attitude towards Zoya and it disturbed her. Well Silah, she spends the entire day with your husband. What do you expect? It upset her to see Adeel and Zoya enjoying each other’s company so much and she became a little insecure and reluctant to leave them alone. It was about time she realized that something was not right! Zoya has created a very good impression on Adeel as he thinks she is doing everything for them without any selfish motive. Little does he know that Silah is actually paying her to take care of Affan! Zoya was reluctant to take the money at first but Silah wanted her to keep it and insisted so she kept it but on the condition that Adeel would not get to know about the money Silah is paying her.
Ahmer has turned out to be very supportive and helpful and he was the one who encouraged her the most when she needed motivation. Adeel should have been the one to motivate and support her but he was too busy whining on her doing the job! We also know a bit more about Ahmer now. Apparently his first marriage did not work out and his wife left him. The preview for next episode seems scary to me. What is wrong with Adeel? There is something cooking between Adeel and Zoya and I am curious to know what will happen next!
Mahira Khan explained the eight years of Hum TV in the following words, “khawateen o hazrat aj se aath saal pehle Hum TV nay apne aik aisekhandan ka aghaz kiya jis ki bunyadei hamari saqafat, ikhlaqiat aur qadron pur rakhi gayee” …kash ke in qadron ka khayal yeh function organize karwate huve bhi rakha jata. To be honest Hum Tv really is one of my most favorite channels because they provide their viewers with quality entertainemnt but it would have been so much better if all the ikhlaqiat and qadrein were kept in mind while organizing the award show as well. The award show undoubtedly was a very grand affair and it was very well planned too. The only problem with the show was that all the naacha gaana on the Bollywood tunes seemed entirely out of place in a function that was meant to celebrate eight years of a Pakistani channel. I gladly fast forwarded the scenes with all the dances and still found the function equally entertaining. Why are our functions incomplete unless we dance on a few (very cheap) Bollywood tunes? Pakistani music has a lot of variety and we have some great tracks and live performers who can entertain the audience and the viewers just as much so why do we blindly follow India? When Mahira Khan came on the stage it almost felt like she had left half of her dress at home. Mahira is such a pretty lady; she would look just as prettier without showing so much skin. The good part was that she had learned her lines well and so had Meekaal but the jokes were very bland and mostly failed to make me laugh. The Joke about Sarmad Khoosat and Umera Ahmed facebook wars was the most funny of all the jokes.
Mehwish Khan and Ahsan Hayat’s dance performance was very shocking; I used to be a big fan but not anymore. It seemed like these people who were trying so hard to look like the actors and actresses from across the border appeared to be a bunch of wannabes and utterly disappointed me. Humaima’s dance performance seemed like an item number. I only watched it for two minutes and very soon realized that it was not worth wasting time on. What was even more disappointing and upsetting was that so much effort had been put into this awards function and overall the categories, hosting and editing was wonderful but the actors dancing to Bollywood tunes turned this award function into anything else but a family affair. I could see the embarrassment on the faces of some of the old actors who are more conservative while these vulgar dance performances were going on. What are we trying to show to the world? Maybe that we are very modern but in showing that we forget to represent the Pakistani people, the real people. I am sure many people from across the border watched this function and laughed and probably thought Pakistanis had no identity of their own because it did look like an Indian style function with Pakistani faces. This function did not represent the viewers at all who are the ones who were going to watch the show and watch the plays that air on the channel.
Watching such awards makes me wonder that is there a dearth of good singers or songs in Pakistan or we have made up our mind that if we do not follow in the footsteps of India we will not be cool enough. So what if we appear like total fools in the process. Watching this award function should have left me with a feeling of pride but it didn’t because I can only feel proud if I see my own talent and culture being promoted. It wasn’t a surprise that Anwar Maqsood made a shot appearance and left, he probably could not take it all just like any loyal Pakistani who has invested his whole life to promoting what truly represents Pakistan.
Fahad Mustafa, besides Hamayun Saeed was the only person who performed on Pakistani songs other than that all the other actors and actress appeared to be crazy Bollywood buffs. Why do Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor and other Indian actress have to be part of jokes in our shows? We make fun of our own actors and actresses and show just how much we are impressed by Indian actresses. Did you watch the awards? Do you think they looked more like Indian awards rather than Pakistani ones? Would you have enjoyed the function just as much if there were no dances on Indian songs but some live performances from our own artists? Please share your views.
So we take a time leap in episode 6…it’s been at least 4-5 years since the last episode as Kulsoom now has 3 girls and oldest (Rabi) seems to be about 4. Vasim has been having an open affair with Noor Jahan (NJ) for all these years and NJ’s mother seems to be content, whereas I am thoroughly appalled at her. Chacha disgusting sold his daughter to Vasim for 30K rupees, but a nikaah was involved (although the legitimacy of that nikah is debatabl). Khala disgusting is knowingly and willingly letting her grown, divorced daughter (with a son) have an illegitimate relationship and that too in her own house…and all fo this for money and expensive things. I shudder to think what would have happened had Chacha disgusting married Khala disgusting!
Vasim is wasting all of his money on NJ and Khala disgusting, while his own family (2 wives, 3 daughters, and a mother) are left with little or nothing. He comes home every few weeks and wants his kids hidden away. As Shamim is getting ready to sell her earrings and other household stuff, we hear lines like “pata nahi hum auratein in mardon ki itni mohtaaj kyoon hoti hain?” Vasim wants to marry NJ, but Khala disgusting will not allow it until he signs over his store to her. I’m sorry but this entire storyline is completely unnecessary, not to mention the acting of Nosheen Shah as NJ and Khala disgusting. The writer will really have to justify this story line and it better be something other than the entirely predictable scenario in which NJ shows her true colors, Vasim is left without his store, and money, and at the mercy of his two wives and mother.
On the Akmal front, he seems to be doing really well for himself. His father has passed away, and Akmal is still completing his education while taking care of not just his family, but also Vasim’s. He is also using his own money to run Vasim’s store. He convinces Shamim to let Kulsoom complete her education and starts tutoring her again. While Akmal is tutoring Kulsoom Vasim comes home seems drunk actually) and starts being abusive to everyone including Akmal. He then leaves telling them that he is marrying NJ. Episode 6 ends there.
Episode 7 starts out with Vasim complaining to NJ about Kulsoom studying. She clearly showing the background she comes from) suggests that Akmal and Kulsoom are both young and good looking and are clearly having an affair (takes one to think like that) behind Vasim’s back making a fool out of him. Vasim at first says no and he knows Akmal since he was 10, but NJ is quite convincing and has him believing her.
There is a death in Shehnaz’s sister’s in laws and Shehnaz and Shamim go to Hyderabad for condolences, hesitantly leaving Kulsoom alone with the 3 girls. Shazi gets a fever and faints. Kulsoom goes out and calls Vasim’s cell but NJ picks up and doesn’t let her talk to Vasim even after hearing Shazi fainted. NJ hangs up and we find Akmal was standing right behind her (that wasn’t predicable at all). He takes Shazi to the doctor and brings her home. Meanwhile when Vasi wonders who was on the phone NJ doesn’t tell him what happened and even suggests that Kulsoom was calling from Akmal’s phone. Vasim goes home to find Akmal and Kulsoom alone and all hell breaks. Shamim and Shehnaz also show up at that time. Vasim starts strangling Akmal and even ends up hitting his mother and Shehnaz. He tells Akmal to give the keys to the shop to him. Akmal throws it at him and leaves. When Shehnaz hears Vasim’s accusations she has had enough and thrown Vasim out telling him to never come back. (This by the way was one of the 2 saving graces of this episode).
Vasim tells NJ what happened and she does the “I told you so’ scene. She also asks “waise teri biwi ko sharm nahi ayi us se chakkar chelate hue?” Hello Pot, my name is Kettle! In the morning Khala disgusting reminds Vasim that there will be no nikah until his store is in NJ’s name as Haq Mehr. Vasim goes to Chaha disgusting (why is he still alive is beyond me) and wants him to be the peacemaker between him and his mother. Tells him about the non-existent affair between Kulsoom and Akmal and Chacha disgusting believes him. What else can we expect from someone who sells his 11 year old daughter?
Meanwhile Akmal is now getting into a small business with a friend. His mother is still mad at what happened and says “kabhi kabhi to dil chahta hai ke us Shamim ko khari khari duna doon.” Umm, she just did like 7 minutes ago…did the writer forget or was there an issue with editing?
Shamim has now decided that the women will work and take care of themselves so they don’t have to depend on anyone. Chacha disgusting shows up and starts yelling at Kulsoom. Shamim (and this is the other saving grace of the episode) tells him off like there is no tomorrow and tells him to never come there again. She also tells him to tell Vasim that she will break his legs if she ever sees him near her house, uttering “aisa beta hone se beher hai Insaan be aulad rahe.” She has said this before also and I’m offended on behalf of men like Akmal. Why couldn’t the writer compare Vasim and Akmal and instead of going to the extremes say something like ‘Beta ho to Akmal jaisa, warna na ho…?’ There was a great chance to show a son in a positive light, yet it passed.
Episode 7 ends with Vasim’s 3rd marriage to NJ as he has finally transferred the store in NJ’s name.
I’m sorry this review is not very positive but, seriously episodes 6 and 7 were highly predictable and very unimpressive. Rehaai started out very strong and even with extremely nauseating scenes, was commendable. However now it has just become another run of the mill story where women are victimized. I’m really happy that women empowerment through education and work is being shown, and had the focus been on that instead of the unnecessary storyline of Vasim and NJ, it would have been better. There was no need to show that ‘aurat ki dushman aurat hi hoti hai.’ Nosheen Shah did not at all impress as NJ. I found her to be extremely unbearable. Samina Peerzada excelled in her role though along with Danish Taimour. I do feel like Rehaai has become more about Shamim’s struggles than anyone else’s. Maria Wasti was only there for 2 scenes I believe. Munawwar Saeed was wasted in this episode. Why did Vasim go to Chacha disgusting to make peace with his mother is beyond my understanding. Even Vasim knows how much his mother hates him, so why did he think she would listen to him? Farhat Ishteaq has proved to be a great novelist, but episodes 6 and 7 prove that this should have been written by a strong writer who has already written for television. Not whose novels have been made into dramas.
It is very early though so maybe it’ll get better.
Sanam Baloch is one of those actresses who have been winning the hearts of her fans with every role she has picked up till now. Here is one of her latest shoot that she did and no doubts, she look amazingly cute.
According to the latest reveals, the next remake of classic films will be of Aaina. Tarang Housefull has been a success up till now and audience seems enthusiastic to have more of them. The Telefilm will star Saba Qamar and Faysal Qureshi as the main leads and what actually makes the telefilm more interesting is its direction which is been done by none other than Sarmad Sultan Khoosat.
Pakistan has a lot of potential when it comes to music. Lucky are those who either have a source or get an exposure by chance but thanks to the emerging reality shows that are turning out to a good-and-open platform for all those talented people who have the ability to turn their talent into cash and recognition.
“Cornetto” brings you the a fresh platform that is Cornetto Music Icons, which is a 10 episodes based reality show where new vocalists will be given a chance to prove themselves. The show’s first episode went on air yesterday on ARY Digital and PTV.
A whole slew of artists will be involved in the project comprising of big names such as Ali Azmat, Strings, emerging stars such as Meesha Shafi and Zoey Viccaji, and a legend of Pakistani pop, Alamgir. These artists will be the primary mentors, with mentoring musicians such as Salman Ahmed, Aamir Zaki, Omran Shafique, Shallum and Faisal Baig lending their talent to bring further diversity to the music. The shepherd for the show is of course Shahi, as the music maestro and talent selector, accompanied by Ahmed Ali Butt and Cybil Chowdry as the hosts of the star-studded extravaganza that is Cornetto Music Icons.
Here are a few clicks of the celebrities on the set of Cornetto Music Icons, Have a look!
Picking such topics and writing over them is always something I avoid the most; probably because the readers often find the content either bold enough to be discussed or find the critics been overdone. However, it seems more like a duty to share all the must-know facts and happenings that are related to our celebrities and showbiz industry to keep our readers updated. What I have today to share with you all is a news that will surely leave you with a thought to consider.
I recently shared a news announcement about Salma Agha’s daughter Sasha Agha and the fact that she will soon be seen on screen in a bollywood movie “Aurangzeb”.
While I was searching more about the movie, I came across some sites where Sasha is been discussed for the intimate scenes that she has done with Arjun Kapoor, who is the male lead in the movie. The clips were quite shameful as I take them and knowing that our site has some rules and regulations to follow, censoring of the clips was the first thing that was done.
It is a pity that although belonging from a family that has earned a lot of respect for its talent in the field of acting and singing, Sasha Agha seems quite comfortable in doing such bold scenes in the movie. If you take a look on the song that has also been sung by her, you will notice that the line that distinguishes glamor from vulgarity has crossed all the boundaries that should be strictly followed.
Salma Agha is one of those celebrities who are still cherished for not their work only but for the morality and ethics that they ensured on screen, however, watching her daughter in an avatar that completely opposes to the customs and traditions that the home country follow was an unpleasant experience.
There is nothing new about the story as it is becoming more like a trend that Pakistani actresses go to India and take the name down of the country by selling themselves on screens, whether it is Meera, Veena Malik, Sara Loren or Sasha Agha now.
Pakistan is a country having 60% of the liberal people who are at ease with some romantic scenes been shown on screen but the fact still remains that being a Muslim country, the audience want to see their celebrities following at least some lines called “limits” on-screen and on a serious note even the law of the country disapproves the anything that becomes a source of promoting vulgarity.
It has been seen that Pakistani actresses who try earning respect with indecent ways in India lose their career in Pakistan as Veena Malik is a good example of this. About 70% of the audience hates Veena Malik for her boldness and this means the end of her career in her home country. The news about having Salma Agha’s daughter as an emerging talent was welcomed by most of the readers few hours back but her fan following within Pakistan is in danger if we take the previous trends into account. Fair enough, Sasha has got her first break with Yash Raj Films which itself speaks quite much about the intimate scenes she agreed to do.
What makes this article worth reading is the fact that it is now important to question our celebrities about the ethics that they must follow. Will all of our celebrities going to sell their dignity on screen just for the sake of some money and popularity? Are we going to take them back open arms when they would return to Pakistan after giving some bold, low-budget flop movies?
It is a point where all of us should start thinking that how we actually want our culture to look like.
Salma Agha is one of those senior celebrities who still shine much brighter than the new ones if we judge the two on the basis of talent and work been done so far. How amazing is the fact that just like other celebrities, Salma Agha’s daughter is now all set to rock the entertainment industry , following the footsteps of mother and will soon be seen on screen showing her acting and singing skills like Mum. Sasha Agha, belonging to a historic family in the field of acting and Music is now making her debut as an actress in Yash Raj’s “Aurangzeb” across the border.
The movie “Aurangzeb” is directed by a debutant Director Atul Sabharwal, and the cast consists of Arjun Kapoor, Sashaa Agha, Jackie Shroff, Amrita Singh and Rishi Kapoor. The movie has a song “Barbadiyan” which is also sung by Sasha and according to the spokeman of Yash Raj Films, Sasha has done justice with the song for her voice is really melodious.
While been asked about her experience in the field of acting and singing, Sasha showed her interest and revealed that she want to be like her mum. She said:
“I have learnt singing from my mom and I don’t plan to give it up because I am very passionate about it. I want to make a career in acting and singing simultaneously.
My great grand father was Jugal Kishore Mehra, who was Raj Kapoor’s uncle and married to famous singer Anwari Begum. My grandmother Nusrin Agha was a well-known singer as well. So in a way, I am the fourth generation singer in my family,”
Pakistani celebrities are no way behind when it comes to having talent and when we talk about multi-talented celebrities, Ayesha Omer is one of them. It is to noted that Pakistan is a country where almost every next singer has the ability to act, there are actors who are doing pretty good in the field of music. The model-turned-actor Ayesha Omer has been enjoying a huge fan following for her exceptional acting in a comedy sitcom “Bulbulay” and for the role of Sara in “Zindagi Gulzar Hai” and now she is again ready to gain further attention with her latest song “Dont Gimme Gimme”, which is duet song and holds all the pop ingredient to make it a disco-favorite number.
From the lyrics to the beats, costumes and the shoot, the video is overall glamorous enough to enjoy critics and appreciation from the audience at the same time.
Enjoy the Video Song and share your views about it !
If you are a TV freak and loves to follow music and the programmes that revolve around empowering the youth of country, you must have noticed that the sole channel which was called to be a channel of youth, Aag TV is no more reaching out to you. Yes, the news is correct, Geo Networks has suspended the broadcast of Aag TV on the basis of the fact that the channel was not attracting viewers as it should have been to attain respectful TRPs’ which it once used to have.
The channel has now gone off-air and has been replaced by Geo’s new product known as “GEO Kahani” which is still running under test transmission. While I was going through the official blog of the channel, I found that audience had many questions about why actually the channel only supported the “Fire Records” and nothing else. It is obvious, that they, as viewers want to see every taste of entertainment on a platform which runs under the slogan of empowering the young generation.
It is important to mention that the channel has given some magnificent dramas and finest actors like Dreamers, Ishrat Baji,etc. which turned out to be as the productive platforms from where actors like Annie and Shehzad sheikh emerged.
Due to the foreign content craze, Geo TV has already lost many of its viewers and such a step been taken by the network is still unpredictable to justify the act,
Lets see how things turn for the channel in near future, but there are viewers who will definitely miss watching Aag TV.
All the sweet rules set to avoid misunderstandings flew straight out of the window along with the romance that happened in the last few episodes. So Zaroon has forgotten his rules completely. He has stopped talking to his wife and is walking away from her, instead of facing the issue bothering him. Poor Kashaf has moved bag and baggage to her new home, and has been welcomed with cold shoulder. She has been accused of not telling Zaroon about Usama’s proposal to her. Never mind, that when she sensed he was preoccupied after meeting Asmara that he never bothered to tell her the truth. Zaroon clearly has double standards even now. The way Osama mentioned the proposal was actually quite annoying-doesn’t he have an ounce of self respect even?
All his double standards have come right back to stare at us in the face. And it does seem that Kashaf is not going to humour him at all. It also seems he is seeking a bit of attention by throwing his tantrums. Kashaf is very clear on her stance and expectations in the marriage, and is consistently sticking to them. Zaroon told her what was troubling him, she answered his questions, but he still chose to hold on to his getting upset. Kashaf is taking that as him suspecting her, and this is not helping the situation.
But then this is what lack of communication does in any relationship. No words are exchanged and each partner draws one’s own conclusion, and matters get much worse than what it should.
Nigaar’s visit to Rafia’s house didn’t seem genuine to me. It seems she had an ulterior motive of getting her daughters a good proposal. Nigaar is a hopeless case and today she proved it, people like her will do anything to get things done from other people and by the way what was with the ugly eyes shadow lol.
Sara decided to tie the knot in this episode with someone she has known for a very long time and who is very conservative. Sara kept on insisting she could easily adjust with such a man while her mother begged to differ. Sara has learned to compromise and does not think twice before judging her mother. To be told by ones child that one’s marriage is not a good one, is very hurtful, I’m sure, and Ghazala expressed the pain she experienced as an outcome of those conversations. From the beginning, her character has been vague, indicating more often than not that she has not been a good mother, and today, this part of the story was validated clearly.
As with all stories, we all pick up what is relevant to us, or what catches our attention, based on our thoughts and experiences. And therefore it is not fair to judge this episode for all the numerous scenes that were put together.
Every character other than Murtaza was present today. There were a lot of discrepancies in the direction and storyline. I leave it to you to pick what is relevant or not.
The next episode had a trailer or a conversation between Zaroon and Kashaf. It almost looked like banter to me. Apparently there are 3 more episodes to go. Lets hope that everything is wrapped up nicely in the upcoming episodes. Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed were great in this episode but the storyline and direction failed to impress. Why was Kashaf going to visit Sidra when Sidra already left for the US in the last episode? Do you think that the Zaroon made a mountain out of a mole hill and that he still has double standards? Please share your thoughts would love to hear from you.
I am covering for Fatima this week; she will be back next week.

We should not support the cause that our favorite celebrity is promoting but we should vote for what we truly believe in!
It is a wonderful initiative taken by the celebrities and I hope that people will be motivated to vote for the cause they support after seeing this wonderful campaign!

What does shopping mean to you? A test of nerves? A physical and mental exercise? Something you do because you have to do it? Or is it something you do when you want to unwind, relax and maybe reward yourself? Well, for me shopping has always been a way to reward myself; something I do to distract myself from the dull and monotonous routine and of course like anyone else I can’t escape it since one must shop in order to get the basic necessities like groceries, clothing etc. So every time I walk in a shop I want to be treated as the person who is there to be rewarded…”c’mon show me all you have got” is my attitude and nothing short of that would turn this shopping experience into a gratifying one. I want a lot of options in front of me before I finally decide what I want to buy especially if I am shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories.Well, honestly speaking most of the time the shopping experience leads me frustrated and tired mainly because the expectations are too high and the returns too low!!
I am going to share with you the reason for my frustrations and tell me if you can relate to any of it. When I enter into a shop there is hardly a shopkeeper who has the expressions and the body language that says “wow a valued customer, I am all ears”, the reaction is more of, “Oh my God time to wake up from my slumber, better get rid of her as soon as I can!”.. Resultantly the shop turns into a war zone for the few minutes that I am there, the shopkeeper will try every trick in the book to ensure that I leave as early as possible; from not showing the right sizes to taking too long to understand what I want. Does that make any sense? I am there to spend my precious finances and this man just could not care less because he will get paid at the end of the month whether I buy something from his shop or not. Now that is the attitude that makes my mind wander from shopping to politics…yes you heard it right politics! Why are honesty and hard work not part of our political culture? There is corruption everywhere; even this salesman is actually corrupt when he refuses to deal with his customers properly. Why are we so lazy etc etc!! So much for shopping now eh! So when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I am not the one to give up, I decide to deal with these dishonest, lazy and irresponsible people in the way they deserve to be dealt with and by the time I get back home, I have almost forgotten that I went out to relax and reward myself and it seems more like “I just spent my money and brought myself a few things but I don’t feel happy!!” But the optimist that I am even next time I will go out shopping with the same high expectations and a smile on my face and probably return exhausted and disappointed. This happens particularly in sales when there are so many salesmen on the floor but all of them pretend like they are hard of hearing.
So, How many of you have faced these “hardships” while shopping? What are your expectations when you go out for shopping? Please share your thoughts.

This episode completely revolved around the end of Maryam’s engagement to Umair so we can say it was more of a filler episode. The whole episode was a drag and the real story is still yet to start. Ayeza Khan gave a superb performance in this episode as she managed to express all the emotions so well. Her character Maryam is that of a simple girl with dreams like every other girl and the huge shock she got by seeing Umair with another girl just a few days before her marriage shattered her dreams. It was not only a very hard time for Maryam but also for her parents. Maryam’s mother was continuously worried about Maryam’s future and what people would say about the broken engagement just a few days before the wedding. Her siblings and father were more understanding and stood by her when she took the decision of ending the engagement.
Umair went to Maryam’s house to apologize on his mother’s behest and cleared the air by telling them that Saira was just a colleague and he was just helping her out as she was in a huge problem. Maryam’s parents accepted his apology and asked Maryam for her opinion but Maryam did not want to get married to Umair after all that had happened. I loved the way her father supported her decision and her brother Sultan and Amna tried their best to console Maryam. I just loved the sister brother bonding between Amna, Maryam and Sultan. Amna’s description of Maryam’s dulha and her on own was hilarious! Amna always manages to bring a smile to her sisters’ face no matter how serious the situation is. The actor and actress playing Sultan and Amna are doing a superb job!
So we finally got to know how Zayaan and Maryam will meet. Zayaan is working on an educational program to reduce illiteracy free of cost and he is contacting different school and teachers to gather their support in his mission. Maryam, being a teacher, volunteered for this social work for two reasons: First, she wanted to get as busy as possible so that she can forget about her recent engagement fiasco and second she wanted to do the social work to help people. They ended the episode on a cliff hanger as the episode ended just when Maryam and Zayaan were about to meet for the first time! Now I am really looking forward to the next episode to see what happens next!
One thing that irked me a lot in the episode is Maryam’s mothers’ reaction to Maryam’s decision to end her engagement. I understand that she is a mother and she does not like it when people talk about Maryam but she needed to understand that even if Maryam got married to Umair, she would have never been happy with him. Maryam’s mother got pretty upset with Maryam when a neighbor came to her place and told her that they should not have ended the engagement as Mariam would be blamed for everything. According to the neighbor, it did not matter if Umair was involved with another woman as it is something very common in the society and Maryam should have compromised! I was totally dumbstruck when she said this. What kind of advice is this? After hearing this, Maryam’s mother became angry at Maryam and Maryam finally had to tell her that Umair had called her and told her himself that he would have not left Saira even after their marriage. Her mother then finally realized that everything had happened for the better. Thankgod!
I do not understand one thing, why does Zayaan dislike Faiza so much? There must be a reason why he is refusing to get married to her. Zayaan left Afsha’s house just because Faiza also came there. Faiza seems crazy about Zayaan but Zayaan does not seem interested in her at all and wants to avoid her at any cost. Hopefully, we will get to know the reason in the upcoming episodes. Afsha and his mother are still forcing him to get married to Faiza and his mother even told him that she is taking his proposal for Faiza whether he agrees or not! Afsha is constantly being pressurized by her husband to make Zayaan agree to the marriage.
Now I am waiting for the actual story to finally start and we will get to see more twists in the upcoming episodes. So stay tuned!
Bridal Couture Week is one of the biggest events of Pakistan’s Fashion Industry who had been thriving since the past decade or so. It is a platform where different designers showcase their talents within a span of 3 days and the audiences get to see the most inquisitive designs and the most beautiful bridal collections from the top names of the fashion industry. This year, there were about 18 designers including two Indian designers who showcased their collection in the Pantene Bridal Couture Week 2013.
Bridal Couture Week 2013 was a star studded event as we got to see different celebrities modeling for a variety of designers.

I am not a brand conscious person at all, I can gladly wear or use anything non-branded without thinking for a second that it will ruin my image in any way or will not look good. I don’t think that wearing or using branded things changes anything, what matters to me most is my comfort but that does not hold true for everyone. I do not know how things used to be before but nowadays it seems like we are fast turning into a group of people who very often weigh each others worth and even our own worth on the basis of which brand one can afford. This is very sad because we live in a country where most people live below the poverty line and many cannot afford the basic necessities of life.
The reason I decided to write this article and derived this conclusion is that the other day all of us friends had a get together and every time someone complimented the other person, the answer was thank you and then came the name of the brand he or she was using. If I tell someone “wow nice lipstick”, the answer would be, “thank you it is mac”. If you say to someone, “I like your bag”, the answer will be, “oh thank you I bought it from Charles and Keith”. This makes me wonder, do people buy expensive, branded things because they like to or so that they can tell others that they can afford these things?
I have nothing against people who can afford branded things and like to buy them but it is the mentality that most such people have that bugs me. If I tell someone that I like to buy shoes from Bata or Servis, I may be considered an outcast because I am considered to be living in the 16th century…if I find these shoes comfortable then why must I go to a more expensive outlet just because it is a brand that is known internationally and is worn by the rich and famous? To me my comfort comes first and also I do not want to be part of the “brand competition”, it seems like once you start labeling people and yourself based on what brands you buy or they use life gets a lot more complicated because there will always be brands that are more expensive…so where does it all end?
I even know parents who think it is beneath them to buy things for their children from a local outlet. If they cannot go abroad to shop for their child, they will make sure that they go to the most expensive branded store next to them. I have always dressed my children in clothes that anyone can buy from the local market and they look just fine in them and the clothes last too. I have even heard discussions about how the local Cerelac (or any other baby food) is not as good as the imported one., I can’t help but laugh at such conclusions but usually do not try to convince the brand conscious people. It seems like some of us are just convinced that the local goods can never be good enough and it is only the imported branded things that come with a guarantee. I have to confess that I did invest a big amount of well earned money into buying some branded things, not to please my brand conscious friends but strictly out of curiosity. I wanted to know what was about these things that had these people so convinced that they were the best. My experience wasn’t good at all, the clothes I bought looked old after a few washes…maybe it was just my bad luck but it also reinforced my belief in the saying that curiosity killed the cat!!
Are you brand conscious? If yes then what is the reason for it? Are the people around you brand conscious? If yes then does it bug you? Please share your thoughts.

The lady is back and this time with something really new. Film-star Reema who have also been producing Lollywood movies, took a break after her marriage with Dr. Tariq and is now settled in America. She has been appearing on different talk shows, often discussing about her marriage life and the fact that things are pretty different out of the country.
It was lately that I saw her in Nida’s Morning show where she was celebrating Sadia Imam’s onscreen-real marriage as per the theme of the morning show. It is now easy to guess that Reema is enjoying cordial relations with ARY Digital as a new show has been launched that is dedicated to the life in America and it will be Reema who will host the show.
After watching the promos which is on-air now, all I could think of was an Indian tourist show “Musafir hun Yaaron”. The new show “Reema ka America” is based on a similar theme where Reema will be your tourist guide and will show you the fascinating, must-visit places of America.
Been directed by Hasan Zaidi, the show is expected to grab a good audience due to the fact that there are people within Pakistan who love to know everything about United States. The show will start from April 27th, that is, Saturday at 6:30 pm.
We look forward to the show to see how Reema proves out herself as a tourist guide:),
What an unexpected twist! I was not expecting the story to take such a turn. I had known from the beginning that Shayan would marry Maleeha but I did expect Rahima to have a disease like Thalassemia. Shayan and Irfa both had Thalassemia minor and that is why Rahima inherited this disease from her parents. Her body is not able to produce new blood cells and she would need blood transfusions every few days and Rahima is barely a month or two old! Just the thought of a small kid having such a disease makes me shudder! There may be hundreds of kids out there suffering from this deadly disease. It seems to be a very trying time for both the parents and I am glad Shayan finally showed some concern towards her daughter.
I liked the way Dr. Bilal first tried to talk some sense into Shayan that he needs to give his family more time. He just wanted him to set his priorities right and asked him one simple question:
“Apke Ke Liyeah Kiya Ziada Zaruri Hai; Apka Hunr Ya Apki Beti?”
He tried to make him understand that his daughter comes above everything else but Shayan being Shayan got pretty offended and did not like to be lectured about his responsibilities as handling responsibilities has never been his forte. His life and his happiness comes above everything else as he has always been selfish and self obsessed, but we did finally see a change in his attitude when Dr. Bilal told Irfa and him about Rahima’s disease. I saw Shayan begging someone for the first time ever; he kept his ego aside and asked Dr. Bilal to help them in this tough time and Dr. Bilal being the kind hearted and generous person agreed to help them through all the testing phases ahead.
I cannot believe someone can become so selfish and indifferent! Maleeha did not show an ounce of pity when Shayan told him about Rahima’s condition. All she wants is Shayan to spend all his time with her as she can no longer share him with anyone else. Shayan maybe careless and selfish but he is aware of the fact Irfa has no one else but him in this world and he cannot leave her at any cost but Maleeha kept on insisting Shayan to leave Irfa again and again. This results in a huge argument between them and I just loved the scene where Shayan said:
“Mein Irfa Ko Nahi Chor Sakhta, Woh Mar Jayegi
Maleeha: Toh Mar Jaane Do
Shayan: Tum Mar Jao”
I was left open mouthed and dumbstruck when he said these dialogues. He may not love Irfa but deep down he still cares for her and would not leave her at any cost. He is trying his best to make Maleeha understand his situation and share his problems but Maleeha is not ready to understand anything and is acting like a stubborn child who wants Shayan all for herself.
Dr. Bilal is trying his best to help Irfa and Shayan in every possible way and he is also providing moral support to Irfa who has become extremely depressed and tensed after getting to know about Rahima’s condition. He is helping her to gather courage and be mentally prepared to face the situation ahead of her. In her worried state, she gets extremely rude and says the most hurtful words to Dr. Bilal:
“Ap Kiya Jaane Aulaad Ka Dukh Kiya Hota Hai, Apki Khudki Aulaad Hoti To Pata Hota”
As soon as the words were out, she quickly realized she had hit a sore spot and quickly apologized to Dr. Bilal who proved to be very understanding as he knew she was not in her right frame of mind.
Adeel Farooqui is becoming getting more annoying by the day. He wants Shayan to make all compromises and understand Maleeha’s mental state while Maleeha is not ready to understand anything. He was the person who gave the idea to Maleeha to show interest in Shayan in the first place, he was the one to encourage her and as a result she is now completely obsessed with Shayan. Shayan gave him a piece of his mind when he tried to console Shayan that with time you both will understand each other. Shayan clearly told him that he may be able to tolerate her childish behavior since he is her father but as her husband, I would not tolerate such childish behavior so it is better if you make her understand instead of lecturing me. It seems that Maleeha and Shayan’s marriage would not last for long!
Maleeha will play some sinister games in the next episode as she had vowed that she will kick Irfa out of Shayan’s life and she would go to any extent to do that. Let’s see what is in store for us in the next episode!
It is a more like a principal for the successful nations that they do not forget their mentors and the real heroes and keeps them alive ever and ever, learning from their lives and sometimes praising and admiring them for the manifest work they did. It has been two years today that the senior artist, host, comedian, actor, director and what not Mr. Moin Akhtar left his fans, leaving behind endless reasons to miss his presence.
Been born on 24th December 1950, Moin Akhtar was all in all a dynamite having command over every shade which was related to the media industry. From the roles of opposite gender to the hosting of Loose talk, from the journey that he started with theatre work to the humorous dramas and sitcoms, Moin Akhtar proved it that he knew how to grabbed audience’s attention and how to basically conquer screen. He was a man of knowledge and his personality too contributed equally in making him what he is remembered for.
He left his family, fans and colleagues crying two years back, that is April 22nd, 2011 and even today he is been missed and remembered by the entire showbiz industry and the people affiliated to it.
We, the team of Reviewit.pk, on the behalf of all our readers pay a tribute to this great artist and salute him for the magnificent work he has done to keep his viewers entertained.
Today our drama industry is flourishing.All sorts of subjects are being filmed and new comers are also getting chances.Thus,it is golden period for our industry which is a positive sign by all means.Just like every other era,certain actors and actresses are very popular.They are youth icons and people follow them blindly.Their dressing,their activities and projects are a point of discussion among their fans so much so that uttering a word against them lands in your trouble.
Among today’s actors who have assumed iconic status in the hearts and minds of people,mega star Fawad Afzal Khan is the top of the list.He’s followed like crazy by countless fans and uttering even an unfavorable word against him would make you punching bag for these fans.Similarly,Mahira Khan,Saba Qamar,Amina Sheikh,Mikal Zulfiqar,Ashan Khan,Sanam Baloch etc are other popular stars who command tremendous fan following also.All of them are marvelous and versatile actors who have proven their worth time and again.
But the question is that do their star power overtake the subjects or themes tackled by the projects they feature in.For instance,Fawad Afzal Khan appeared in Geo’s Ashk. Everyone agreed that it was an apology of a script but still audiences watched for the sheer star power of Fawad. Had it not been Fawad,the serial wouldn’t have got the ads or following it got. Similarly,Jo Chalay To Jan se guzar gaye was an average drama at best and because of Saba Qamar’s and Noman Ijaz’s presence many people followed it.
On the flip side,absence of suitable actors led to certain dramas not getting the required popularity/ratings. Mata-e-Jaan hai tu and zard mausam are prime examples of it where the casting was criticized constantly along with changes made in the original story lines.Therefore, popular actors can make ordinary/bad stories work and unpopular actors cannot work good stories workable.We as audience need to think now whether we appreciate good stories or just like to see our popular and loved actors.As long as we continue to go for actors,makers would continue to cast them as their recipe for success rather than strong story line.And yes I am ready for all those who’d say that this phenomenon is common across the world and not unique to Pakistani TV Industry.Still,we need to think and mature as audiences.
The man who rules the heart of many fans, the man who has given a pause to the careers of many hot hunks of the Pakistan’s drama industry, the handsome Fawad Khan seems anxious about serving humanity along with the media industry of Pakistan. It was heard that the actor will soon be conducting a Gala dinner to raise charity for “Shaukat Khanum-Cancer Hospital”, which was held yesterday, that is, Saturday, April 20th.
Fawad Khan,along with many other celebrities were seen in the event, showing their positive side towards the cancer patients. Fawad, being the chief guest remained the centre of attention of the event. It was also few months back that Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan were seen in a similar event to support Imran Khan’s Shuakat Khanum Hospital and it is again that the busy celebrity took out a decent time from his life to spend sometimes for the people who have contributed their share for the welfare of the cancer patients.
Here are a few pictures from the event. Have a look!
We appreciate his efforts to stand for a good cause,
Meera suceeds to be in news again. Yes, this time not for her exceptional english or marriage rumors, but for something that is serious enough to dram your attention towards. Meera has been sued by producer Ajay Yadav for leaving his film in a lurch. Meera was signed for the movie Bhadaas and according to the terms and conditions of the agreement the actress was supposed to be in India till April 30th, to ensure that the producing team completes the movie in time, However, the actress left the country without informing the producer, leaving the movie in a critical state. The movie was expected to be released in the starting of May but due to the inconvenience Meera has caused to Yadav, the dubbing hasn;t been started yet.
The producer talked about the issue in the following words:
“According to our agreement, she can’t leave the country till April 30, but she has gone without informing me. The film releases on May 24 and she won’t be here for the promotions. I can’t hold the film till she’s back, so I’ve lodged a complaint with the Versova Police Station.
I’ve managed to complete the dubbing, but the promotions are yet to begin”
Due to the political instatbility in the country, the elections of 2013 have given a new way to the celebrities to show their existance in the political field as well and Meera is a significant one here. She has been trying to fight in elections and probably this might be one of the reasons that she left her movie in between to come back to her country.
Lets see what really happens to this case against Meera, but there is one thing for sure that such a thing would definitely affect Meera’s acting career and her credibility in India.
What a heart wrenching episode! Sanam Jung stole the show with her superb acting and she was without any doubt the ultimate star of this episode. It was the best performance given by her in all the episodes that have gone on air so far. Silah is finally taking a stand for herself after continuously being humiliated and degraded by Adeel who left no chance to vent his frustration on her. She was upset with him at first because of his stubbornness on not letting her work and to help them come out of their financial crises which is getting worse by the day.
“Main To Apke Liyeah Zid Aur Ana Ka Masla Ban Gaee Hun, Apki Nazar Mein Mere Koi Mayene Hee Nahi”
Silah was patient throughout all their problems but she lost her cool when Affan got sick and they had no money to take him to the hospital. The scene where she leaves her home all tensed and worried, roaming the streets with a sick Affan in her hand was just heart breaking to watch. The scene where she fell on the road and Aijaz Aslam made his entry was brilliantly directed and executed. He turned out to be the savior of the day and quickly took Affan and Silah to the hospital when Silah requested him to help her.
Aijaz Aslam plays the role of Ahmer, a rich man with a big heart. He stayed with Silah at the hospital till Affan got better, paid all the bills and even dropped her safely at home. Silah could not stop thanking him again and again for his help as she was now in his debt for a lifetime. Ahmer seems like an extremely down to earth person as he clearly refused to take the money which Silah returned for the hospital bills.
Adeel was left helpless when Affan got sick as he had no money to take him to the hospital. I felt sympathy for him when he said these dialogues:
“Kitna Badnaseeb Shaks Hun, Apne Bache Ki Jaiz Zaruriat Bhi Poori Nahi Kerparaha. Mein Is Masoom Ke Liyeah Islyeah Kuch Nahi Kerparaha Kiunke Mere Paas Paise Nahi Hai”
It was the first time I realized what he must be going through and why he feels so frustrated. The feeling of not being able to support his family is killing him inside and that is the reason why he is irritated and angry all the time. One thing which I do not understand is why does he have such a big ego? He makes such a big issue out of petty things because he feels his self respect is hurt. He does not want Silah to get a job because his ego and self respect would get hurt. He was angry when Silah took Affan to the doctor alone and did not wait for him to come back; he even had an issue with a stranger helping them and Silah coming in his car in the night! Well Adeel, if she would have waited for you then Affan’s condition would have gotten worse! He also overreacted when Silah told him that she can request Ahmer for his job as his ego again came in between. Adeel has become completely blinded by his ego and his stubbornness to not take anyone’s help, especially Silahs’. But after witnessing what Affan went through, he kept his ego aside for a while and went so far as to beg for a job from his temporary employer.
Silah finally gave up on him and went and asked Ahmer for a job for herself and Ahmer being a kind hearted and helpful person, gave her a job immediately. Then came the biggest task for Silah to accomplish that is to inform Adeel. She stood firm and did not waver from her decision to work and support the family. As expected, Adeel got furious and upset at Silah and told her that she can do what she wants to and they had their first serious fight.
I had been hoping Zoya would not turn negative but it seems like she would be the reason for all the misunderstanding created between Silah and Adeel. On one hand, she is instigating Silah against Adeel and on the other hand she would be filing Adeel’s ears against Silah.
Next week’s episode will be full of misunderstandings as Silah and Adeel’s relationship would get affected by all the recent happenings. Let’s hope their relation would be strong enough to face the storm that is moving towards them!

She is now anxious to focus on her career after being in limelight for her marriage with Behroze Sabzawari’s son Shehroze. The couple, itself has been earning much popularity for itself due to its immense cuteness and elegancy.
It is now that Syra is seen in an advertisement as well and recently she did a photo-shoot for the Lawn collection, becoming a brand ambassador for the launch. Been affiliated with Bashir Ahmad textiles, the new project of Limited edition lawn collection seem a good deal and an opportunity to make a comeback and grab some decent earning.
The company has also collaborated with the designer Khizer Durrani and the designs of the new rival in the lawn fight are quite unique and appealing. As suggested by the designer, the color contrast and the theme is much near to the funky collection and has been called the colors of 2013!

No doubts about the fact that the company has made a wise decision choosing Syra to be it brand ambassador. We hope that Syra’s fans would soon grab the opportunity, turning it into a profitable one for the company, Syra and for themselves as well.
This latest episode started with highlighting the different ways in which Rafia and Ghazala think. While on one hand Rafia is constantly advising her daughter that she should try her best to do everything she can in order to live upto the expectations of her husband and to go the extra mile to get closer to her in laws, on the other hand Ghazala is bent on proving to Zaroon that Kashaf is a typical girl from a middle class family to whom money matters more than anything else. When she asks Zaroon about his visit to Kashaf’s house, her intention clearly was to highlight the class difference between the two. Rafia was right when she told Kashaf that she had not spend enough time with her mother in law therefore she did not know Kashaf well enough to judge her on the basis of who she is but judges her on the basis of her background…this goes to show that Ghazala is prejudiced and like Kashaf said she will have to work very hard to change the way she thinks about her. The fact that Kashaf tried to get closer to her in laws despite of all her fears only because her mother made her realize that it was the right thing to do, went to prove that no matter how we perceive Kashaf’s character, she is actually your normal average typical girl who wants to do whatever she can in order to make her marriage work. The way she reacted when Zaroon did not tell her just how much he missed her when she called to tell him she had reached and her reaction to Zaroon being busy with his friend’s later on went to show that like any other new bride, she longs for her husband’s undivided attention and wants to hear him tell her just how much he loves her.
I really like Zaroon’s approach when it comes to tackling different issues; he listens to his mother patiently and does not tell her that he did not agree with her even though he clearly disagrees with her and even after the argument he has with Kashaf after she does not answer his calls all night, he still takes the first step and sets the rules as he goes. Kashaf may not tell him just how much she misses him but he is quite happy with the clues she leaves him with and derives the right conclusions from them. Zaroon Junaid has certainly grown into a very sensible person and Kashaf has clearly changed too. Kashaf does not even give a hint to Ghazala that she heard what she said about Kashaf and that certainly says a lot about how much Kashaf has changed.
The scene that followed after Kashaf heard Ghazala’s conversation with Zaroon was simply heart breaking. The way Kashaf tells her mother “ami mujhe chor samajhte hai vo” and breaks down was heart wrenching. If Kashaf was still the person that she used to be, she would have given up on Ghazala altogether and would have given Zaroon a very tough time too but she knows that she has to work hard to make this relationship work and she is willing to spend the rest of her life trying to convince Ghazala that she is not a greedy person. I really like the way Rafia explains things to Kashaf, when she tells her “hur class ka admi dusri class ke bare mei ghult fehmi rakhta hai”; this is something Kashaf could relate to because she had a lot of misconceptions about people belonging to the upper class too. Kashaf’s reaction to the news that she has been transferred to the news was too cute for words; she couldn’t stop smiling.
It was good to see that Asmara has moved on and that chapter is closed, whatever she thinks of Zaroon now does not matter much now does it;) This particular scene seemed quite unnecessary though since Asmara had nothing new to say really. The precap for the next episode seems alarming, just like the last one did but it was good to see that there was no big misunderstanding between Kashaf and Zaroon today.
Here are few of my favorite moments from today’s episode:
– Kashaf sitting and wondering whether she should call Zaroon or not and then deciding to call him.
– Zaroon establishing rules for a healthier relationship.
– Kashaf’s attitude towards the people at the workplace changes after the phone call from Zaroon.
My favorite dialogues from today’s episode:
“Vo log tu hamare khanda ka hisa nahi banay beta, tum unke khandaan ka hisa bani ho, is liye tumhare paas un ke liye wakt hona chahyeh”. Totally agree with Rafia’s advice, a girl always has to change herself and work hard to adjust in the new home. Obviously it is the duty of the boy’s family also to their best to make the new bride comfortable and not judge her but if that does not happen than the girl has no choice but to change the way her in laws feel.
“Pata nahi aj yeh ghur itna khali kyun lug raha hai”.
“kher ab tumhe itna bhi sukoon nahi hai, agur hota tu tum pagal na ho jati mere phone na kurne pur”
“so kur dilkhao mujhe”
The funniest dialogues from today’s episode had to be “you insulted my intelligence”…really Asmara, you have got to be kidding me ;)
Share your favorite scenes and dialogues with us…looking forward to your comments.
