Responding to a reporter’s question, Zafar Abbas said, “The major difference between Lahore and Karachi is that here you can see around 150 iPhones; if this had happened in Karachi, all the iPhones would have been snatched by now. Another thing I noticed is that I didn’t see any roadside digs. I asked my friend in Lahore what they call a ‘dig’ or ‘gadda,’ and he said they call it ‘toya.’ So, I haven’t witnessed any ‘toya’ here in Lahore over 300 kilometres.” Here is the link to the video :

Ali Zafar is a superstar of the country. He is a singer and actor who started his music career in the early 2000s. The star has worked in Pakistan and India and he boasts a following in both countries. He has also been in a string of controversies over the years and he just won a defamation case against Meesha Shafi.
Meesha Shafi and Ali Zafar have both been fighting cases against each other for over 8 years now. The harassment case by Meesha is still pending while Ali Zafar won the defamation case that he had filed years back. His career initially took a hit but he has been able to preserve his professional success. In a latest podcast appearance, he spoke about his feelings regarding leaving showbiz altogether.
Ali shared that he loves his career and he received love and respect from Pakistan. But in his heart, he is just an artist. He came into showbiz with an innocent wish, to create art. His only wish was to keep creating art but when politics comes in and hit you then it changes you into someone that you are not. Thus at that point he thought that he should just leave everything. His family’s support is what got him though everything.
Pakistani actors and actresses are known for their natural talent and the way they have brought important stories and characters to our screens. The range which an actor can showcase defines how long and impactful their career will be. Many artists in the drama industry have reinvented themselves over the course of their careers, which not only put them on the map in some cases but also elongated their careers in others.
Many Pakistani actors were going through either a down patch or their true talent was not getting recognised when these roles came their way, and changed the complete trajectory of their careers on television. Here are a few names:
Ahsan Khan
Ahsan Khan is among the top Pakistani actors, and his talent is unmatched. He started his career as a teenager in films, and he later transitioned completely towards television. He is among the top artists in the country, but his career also saw a dip in the early 2010s. At the time, he was largely playing the crying male lead, and his roles started to look similar and monotonous. Then came the role of a lifetime for the star, Imtiaz, in Udaari. The role of a child abuser was declined by many stars when Ahsan Khan finally said yes to it. This was a risk for a leading actor, and he was not confident about how the role would be perceived. But it ended up paying off, and his character led to open discussions about child abuse in our society.
Wahaj Ali
Wahaj Ali is another top Pakistani star currently ruling the television screens. He is another self-made actor who worked behind the camera initially, and he later transitioned to acting roles. Though Wahaj had carved a niche for himself, he remained pretty underrated still. It was his role as Murtasim Khan in Tere Bin which changed the trajectory of his career. He became a superstar, and fans were drooling over him globally. The actor has not looked back since, and he will be starring opposite Mahira Khan in his next project.
Yumna Zaidi
Yumna Zaidi is a female Pakistani superstar who is known for her immense acting talent. Yumna’s ability to outshine some of the veterans from the very start of her career won her millions of followers. She has appeared in difficult characters in dramas like Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi, Dar Si Jati Hai Sila and Inkaar. She was acknowledged as a top actress starring in mostly socially issue-based dramas, but Tere Bin is what turned her into a huge commercial star. She played Merub Murtasim Kahn in Tere Bin, and that one role turned her into a top commercial choice for producers.
Danish Taimoor
Danish Taimoor is currently the most bankable Pakistani drama star. His shows earn over 20 million views per episode, whatever may be the script or supporting cast. His stardom is unmatched, and all of this happened when he took a big risk in his career. Danish has been working in dramas since the early 2000s, and he was doing decent in showbiz when he finally took a plunge and starred as Jaan e Aalam in Abb Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai. This role brought his alpha side on screens, and he has since not looked back. He went on to star in all-time blockbusters like Deewangi, Ishq Hai, Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi and Sher after this.
Ahmed Ali Akbar
Ahmed Ali Akbar is another Pakistani artist who cares more about the craft and less about the shenanigans of stardom. The actor was already loved, and he had appeared in several dramas like Ye Raha Dil and Ehd e Wafa, which were all blockbusters. But then he signed Parizaad, a character refused by many others as it had no visible heroics or the hero look. Parizaad made Ahmed Ali Akbar’s fame global, and now he is an actor whom fans wait to watch on their television screens.
Mawra Hocane
Mawra Hocane is currently considered one of the most intelligent Pakistani stars in the drama industry. She is known for picking up the best scripts, which always have a strong theme and a story with important messages. But this was not how her career always looked. She was initially known for playing the damsel in distress, and that is how she got her Bollywood film Sanam Teri Kasam. The film initially flopped, and the Pakistani artists were banned in India. She was back, and she was scared of making a comeback. That is when she picked a strong story like Sammi, and she has not looked back since. She kept picking social awareness stories, and today, she is one of the most loved stars.
Ayeza Khan
Ayeza Khan is a Pakistani superstar, and she is known for her strong on-screen presence. She was already a top star, and she used to play the most positive roles on television when she went and picked Mehwish in Mere Paas Tum Ho. The starlet played the biggest villain on Pakistani television, and fans all over the world wanted Mehwish to just die. Ayeza’s risk paid off, and she became equivalent in stardom to many of her male counterparts after that.
Syed Jibran
Syed Jibran is a strong Pakistani star who knows how to bring that edge to his characters. The actor was not enjoying this success a few years back. He was mostly not getting the right characters, and he decided to move to the UK when he was offered Chup Raho. He was sceptical about the character as he was a harasser and molester, but he said yes to it anyway. Turns out, Chup Raho became a defining moment for his career, and he went on to play some of the big bad guys on Pakistani dramas.
Emmad Irfani
Emmad Irfani is a Pakistani star who started his career as a model. He was a supermodel when he jumped into acting. He did good projects and got noticed in Cheekh, Jalan and Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. But he was always this suave and urban guy who would charm, even if he plays a negative character. Thus, when he showed us as Jamshed aka Jami in Kafeel, people had doubts. Jami was a lower-middle-class narcissist, and Emmad had to play a father to grown-up children. But the actor has proved his acting prowess. This is the first time that people hated Jami, and no one noticed Emmad’s good looks. This role has shown how talented he is, and he is doing great.
Sehar Khan
Sehar Khan is a young Gen Z Pakistani star who became a household name after her drama Fairy Tale became a hit. She is a good actress, but she was being boxed into these bubbly girl roles one after the other. That is when she signed up for Ta Man Neelo Neel, where she played Rabi. The role and how the character ended were hard-hitting, and the actress carried it brilliantly. She has since starred in Aik Aur Pakeezah, and now she is being looked at as a serious talent being considered for difficult characters.

Saba Faisal is a veteran Pakistani actress who has been serving the television industry for more than two decades. She initially gained popularity as a television announcer and newscaster before establishing herself as a successful actress. Throughout her career, she has appeared in uncountable hit dramas, including Humsafar, Dureshehwar, Ishq Tamasha, Kahin Deep Jalay, Muhabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai, Zara Yaad Kar, and Main Manto Nahi Hoon. With over 2.4 million followers on Instagram, she enjoys a strong fan base that appreciates her.
Recently, Saba Faisal appeared on FHM’s podcast hosted by Adnan Faisal, where she described house help as a major factor behind household conflicts and internal disputes.
Talking about this, Saba Faisal said, “I think I’ve mentioned this in an interview before—that the peace of a household largely depends on house help. They can either bring peace to your life or disrupt it; they are the main cause of household conflicts. However, I consider myself fortunate in this regard because my house help don’t indulge in gossiping with me. Also, it is because I don’t pay attention to their news. They work hard, do their chores efficiently, If I pay them, they also devote their services to, reciprocate with dedication and hard work but that doesn’t mean they don’t try to gossip. Whenever they attempt to say something about my daughter-in-law, I immediately silence them. I make it clear that I don’t want to hear such things. If you set firm boundaries, they won’t be able to spread gossip.” Watch here:
Muamma is a popular Hum TV prime-time drama series directed by Shaqielle Khan and written by Imran Nazir. It is produced by Momina Duraid Productions. The drama features Saba Qamar in an intense and shady character, Jiji—a revengeful woman who seduces charming male tenants and leaves them after destroying their homes. The cast also includes other talented actors like Ali Ansari, Anoushay Abbasi, Shahzad Sheikh, Sidra Niazi, and Nabeel Zuberi.
Hum TV has finally aired the finale episode of this much-talked-about drama series today. In the last episode of Muamma, Jahan Aara was killed by her ex-husband Sarmad, who reached the venue after Sarfaraz conspired against her sister. Shahjahan (the tenant) returned the house keys to the watchman and left Jiji’s house.
Fans are disappointed with Jiji’s miserable ending. Many are saying that the drama was top-notch, but the ending fell flat. Many even said that the drama lost the plot. A fan wrote, “What an unexpected and awful ending, Jahan Aara has only suffered all her life” Another said, “Why Jahan Aara was killed, she could have lived as an independent single woman, it is a useless ending.” One viewer wrote, “They have ruined the drama; they wasted our time. It was a bad show. Jahan Aara didn’t deserve this, I feel sad for her” while one fan said, “I cried so much while watching Jahan Aara’s death.” A fan wrote, “Sarmad met his fate but they should have also shown Sarfaraz’s ending too” However, fans praised Saba Qamar’s phenomenal acting as Jahan Aara. One fan wrote, “Saba Qamar deserves an award for her performance for Muamma” Read the comments here:
Fazila Qazi is a senior Pakistani television actor and former host who has been part of the entertainment industry for nearly three decades. She has worked in numerous hit TV plays, including popular serials such as Rozi, Dasht, Kashish, Muqaddas, Khatoon Manzil, Nazr-e-Bad, Tere Bin, Sirf Tum, and Tark-e-Wafa. Fazila is married to Pakistani actor Qaisar Khan Nizamani, and they are parents to two talented and well-mannered sons, Ahmed and Zorain.
Recently, Fazila Qazi appeared on Nida Yasir’s show Good Morning Pakistan. During the show, she opened up about the reasons behind behavioral shifts in mothers-in-law and mothers.
Talking about it, Fazila Qazi said, “Everyone says that mothers-in-law start behaving strangely after their sons’ marriages, but has anyone realized why they behave this way? Most of us are in our forties when our children get married, which is a pre-menopausal phase of life. This is the age when women experience hormonal changes that can affect their emotions and behavior. Now, at this age, I realize why my saas and mother behaved differently — they would often become emotional and cry. We are more educated about these things today, but women who lack awareness don’t understand that they are going through a pre-menopausal phase. When they become mothers-in-law, they don’t know how to handle these changes and may fall into self-pity because there comes a time when women become a house help who is doing all the chores by herself. This is something that needs to be understood.” Here is the link to the video:

Saba Faisal is a senior Pakistani actress who has been working in hit television dramas for around twenty-five years. Previously, she established herself as a popular TV announcer and newscaster. Some of Saba Faisal’s hit dramas include Humsafar, Dureshehwar, Ishq Tamasha, Kahin Deep Jalay, Muhabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai, Zara Yaad Ker, and Main Manto Nahi Hoon. She also boasts a huge Instagram following of 2.4 million. The senior actor is quite opinionated, family-oriented, and friendly, and is widely admired by her fans.
Recently, Saba Faisal appeared on FHM’s podcast hosted by Adnan Faisal, where she shared an incident involving her husband’s office and spoke about flirtatious men.
Talking about her husband’s supposed admirer, Saba Faisal said, “Let me tell you an old story from around 25 years ago. I went to my husband’s office to pick him up and asked the receptionist to call him. She asked me, ‘Who are you?’ to which I replied, ‘I am Mrs. Faisal.’ The next day, my husband asked what I had said to her because she had resigned. I told him I had only said that I was Mrs. Faisal. My husband then said that maybe she had some one-sided feelings for him, which he didn’t know about. A wife should be strong enough that other women think a hundred times before getting involved with her man.”
She further added, “Housewives often have nothing to do, and women who don’t trust their men, or those whose husbands are earning well, may follow their husbands, like we see in dramas. Even nowadays, I am doing a drama where my character sends a driver to follow her husband to keep a check on him.”
She also stated, “If men have money, they may think about dating outside because they feel the outsider or mistress will take care of them, while they continue to take care of their family. My message to women who doubt their husbands is to stay calm, because in the end, he will come back to you, as you are the mother of his children. Why panic? He is going nowhere.”

She has appeared in many big hits in her career and she still gives all the leading ladies a run for their money.

The diva is not just a successful actress but also a successful mother as two of her children, son Faris Shafi and daughter Meesha Shafi are also famous and successful artists. Saba Hameed has some parenting advice for everyone out there and she definitely makes sense.
While she was a guest on Vasay Chaudhary’s show, she shared that everyone needs to teach their children their mother tongue, like Punjabi kids should speak Punjabi. She shared how her father though was a famous journalist, he used to speak with them in Punjabi and therefore they can fluently speak the language. Similarly, if your mother tongue is Pashtu or Balochi, your children should speak it. Speaking multiple languages opens up your brain. Saba’s own children also speak fluent Punjabi.

Recently, Amin Iqbal opened up about the low ratings of Ghulam Bashah Sundri, despite it being the most-viewed Pakistani show on YouTube.
Talking about it, Amin Iqbal said, “Assalamu Alaikum, I’m Amin Iqbal, the director of Ghulam Bashah Sundri. There has been a debate on social media about why the TRPs are so low despite the drama having the most views. The system that measures TRPs is quite complicated. Ratings are recorded by advertising agencies, not TV channels. The TV agency has installed around 2,500 meter devices in selected households. These devices, similar to a remote control, track what those households watch, and their viewing determines the ratings. So, only 2,500 devices decide the ratings. The system should now be upgraded, and YouTube views should also be incorporated into ratings, as YouTube views are transparent and cannot be manipulated or changed.” Watch the video here:

Our relationships should not be based on need—we need love, and only Allah can truly fulfill our needs. Yes, we have only one expectation, and that is to get respect from each other, and that is only possible when you love and respect yourself.”

Kafeel is a social drama which is coming to an end the next week. It had a stellar cast and a story which touched the hearts of millions. In addition to the struggles of Zeba and narcissism of Jami, the one character which stood out was Subuk played by Aashir Wajahat. Subuk showed the reality of many responsible young men of our generation who are practical and who know how to deal with life with realism and never indulge in daydreaming. This is what Subuk was trying to do as well.
Aashir Wajahat hit it out of the park in a powerful scene in this episode. Kafeel showed the world that a young man who is responsible and has a sense of propriety of relations is far better than someone with expensive cars and properties but no respect for their life partner. The scene where Subuk is finally lent a hand of appreciation by Daneen’s father is being felt by millions of young men in the audience.
Here is what happened in Kafeel:
The internet is loving the scene and acknowledging how Subuk has grown in the hearts of the audience. One fan wrote, “How can a guy Subuk make us girls cry everytime?” Another added, “This was a deep and important conversation.” One said, “This should be the thinking of every father today. Much respect.” Here is the reaction:
Wajahat Rauf is also a fan of this scene and what his son was able to achieve in this scene:
Nyla Rajah is an influencer and lawyer who got famous for marrying Imad Wasim while he was already married to Sannia Ashfaq before and even had three kids in that marriage. She is now Mrs. Imad and she has made all of her content about her new relationship. She has stated openly how she is happy with her marriage and she does not care about engaging with her husband’s ex-wife. However, she was once again seen taking a dig at Sannia.
Nyla Rajah is an influencer and she was filming a get ready with me session. She was doing her makeup and listening to some old Bollywood music when the song Tu Pasand Hai Kisi Aur Ki Tujhe Chahta Koi Aur Hai started playing and Nyla made sure to explain some of her opinions to her followers.
Nyla Rajah said that this song is very deep. Sometimes the people close to you do not love you. They do not understand how special you are. Meanwhile your fans who love you from a far know how to love you in a better way and they will understand your uniqueness. This seemed like a direct dig at Sannia Ashfaq as Nyla knew better how “unique” Imad was while Sannia didn’t.
The internet is strongly criticizing her. One said, “Yes the song suits you since you stole someone else’s husband.” Another added, “You are proud of breaking a family.” One said, “The audacity she has.” This is the reaction:
