Talking about it, Hamza Ali Abbasi said, “Once I said something on a podcast, after which I received multiple warning calls and faced backlash. People told me that I was out of the fold of Islam due to my blasphemous statement. During the podcast, I was asked if I was sure about the conclusions I had drawn regarding the Hereafter, Allah, and faith. I replied that I believe all these things are true, but obviously I haven’t met Allah so can’t say with hundred percent conviction. After that, many people called me and said, ‘Hamza Sahab, we haven’t made a video because we love you, but you are no longer a Muslim. You have to apologize, recite the Shahadah again, and even your Nikah is invalid, so you should perform it again.’ I faced backlash to this extent.” Watch here:

It’s not only with me but with every actor. It’s like when people used to watch Friends—they wanted Ross and Rachel to be together in real life. I am happy that the same is happening with Pakistani actors. I don’t blame people because many end up together. In our case, it’s not like that, but Areeka Haq and I share a beautiful friendship, and there is nothing like being in a relationship. However, anything can happen, so let it be.” Watch here:

We are fortunate to have such a beautiful genre in Qawwali. While a lot of music is produced in India, none of their melodies are like ours—their songs come and go without leaving a lasting mark.

The Pakistani film industry was flourishing in the 60s and 70s. It is known as the golden period of cinema in the country. From the national language, Urdu, to all regional languages, we had multiple films coming out every year. Many big names were established both on and off camera with starlets who have ruled both the silver screens and later on television screens.
The film industry then went into shambles for multiple reasons, and for around two decades, we did not get to see proper films being released in cinema houses. With the revival era, we got new names who became film stars, and the audience was naturally interested in their work as well as their personal lives. What came as a weird coincidence was how many of those big names of the Pakistani film industry turned out to be unlucky in love. They had millions of fans, but they did not find romantic happiness in their own lives.
Anjuman
Filmstar Anjuman is among the most successful names of the Pakistani cinema. She has worked in hundreds of films as the lead actress and ruled the cinema in 70s. She is hands down one of the most successful artists, including both males and females, when it comes to films. But the actress has struggled in her love life.

She later got married to former actor Lucky Ali, but the marriage ended in divorce.
Babra Sharif
Babra Sharif is another big star of the Pakistani film industry. She is the OG diva of Pakistani showbiz, known for her stylish looks and extraordinary talent. She started acting at a young age and kept working in quality films. The actress stopped acting as she did not want to work anymore, and her era never declined. She is also a star who has remained unlucky in love. She got married to actor Shahid at the peak of her career when she was the dream girl for millions. She became his second wife, but that marriage did not last long, and she nerve married again. She has been single till now by choice. Her name was linked to many other co-stars, including Faisal Rehman, but the diva never confirmed any such rumours.
Resham
Resham is among a handful of Pakistani film stars who were able to successfully transition from the declining film industry into the flourishing television industry. She is still loved for her strong roles, screen presence and talent. The actress has time and again shared how once her heart was broken, and she has since been sceptical. She is also disappointed by still being single, and she aspires to get married one day when she finds someone she can love and trust. The actress said in an interview that she feels that she is not destined to have a husband’s income.
This is what she said:
Khushboo Khan
Khushboo Khan is a Pakistani actress who has worked in films, television and theatre. She started working as a child artist in movies, and she later transitioned to lead roles. She has been working all her life, and her fame has never declined. The starlet was married to film actor Arbaz Khan, and they made a power couple in the film industry. Love did not end too well for her as she recently shared how her husband left their home a few years back, and he has not returned. They just speak about their two sons. She still loves him, and they are not officially divorced. But she has been raising their sons alone, and she spoke about how she has only received deception and pain in life.
Her story:

Sana Nawaz is another big name in the Pakistani film industry. She also successfully moved to the television industry, and she has been working in dramas for a few years now.

She got divorced in 2022, and she has been doing everything in her power to raise her two sons. She is a private person, but she has shared that showing your wounds won’t help. You have to hold yourself with strength and be resilient in life despite the pain you have been going through.
This is how she spoke about her divorce:
Nargis
Nargis is a big name in Pakistani showbiz. She had a long and successful career where he worked in films, and she later ruled the theatres in Punjab. She was loved for her beauty, dancing talent and the way she could do comedy and drama with ease. She has now turned into a businesswoman as she has left showbiz for the sake of Islam. The actress has been married twice. She was first married to Zubair Shah, and she has children from that marriage. It did not work out, and she later on married a police officer, Majid Bashir. She suffered alleged physical abuse and cheating in this marriage.
Here is what went down:
Laila
Laila is another star of the Pakistani film industry. She worked as a lead actress, and she was also known for performing item numbers in Punjabi films. She also worked on a reality TV show and then took a break due to personal tragedies. Laila is still single, and she once again shared in her latest interview that she feels that she lost good time when she did not get married before because she was going through so much in her life. She dated Ahsan Khan in her youth, but they both broke up. She would love to marry someone if she finds a handsome and nice guy, and she is open to finding love.
Listen to her thoughts:
Meera
Meera is a very interesting person, in addition to being one of the most recognised faces from the Pakistani film industry. She has been unlucky in love multiple times as she had a marriage with Attiq ur Rehman which she never recognized to the whole Captain Naveed fiasco. She even held a wedding show on Geo TV. Whether Meera is single or not is a mysterious question, as she has been spotted with Captain Naveed on and off again over the years. But the lady has not been lucky in love.
Nirma
Nirma was once a known name of Pakistani showbiz. Films, television and music videos, she was everywhere. She then disappeared from the screens, and a few years later, it was discovered that she was exploited by her own family as they took money from her, and she has not gotten married or found love.
Zara Sheikh
Zara Sheikh was loved by everyone from her very debut. Her beauty and on-screen grace were phenomenal. Zara has shared that she did not want to do subpar work, and she has therefore always worked selectively. The actress has remained single despite having millions of followers. She was once linked to Mikaal Zulfiqar, but the pair never got married. Mikaal married Sara Bhatti, and Zara has chosen to remain single. She said that her age for marriage has passed, and she is not too focused on it now.
Here is her choice:
All these starlets worked in an era when heroines preferred not to marry earlier, a practice which has thankfully lessened. All these ladies are also resilient and strong, and they have shown the world that they do not need anyone to define themselves. They have stood on their own and never backed down despite experiencing difficulties in love.

They don’t want to retire because they want to maintain their authority and control at home, which is not right.” Here is the link to the video:
She further added, “I have advice for all people who are ageing. The problem starts after a certain age in Pakistan, where it is said that you become old after your children grow up. It’s not like that. Age is just a number—being old or young is a mindset. I have seen older people abroad enjoying their lives and staying active. In Pakistan, many people have nothing to do, so their children become their focal point. Then complaints start—‘you didn’t come,’ and so on. People should keep themselves busy, make themselves useful, and find hobbies.” Watch here:

I didn’t agree to it because for me and my family, his presence was everything, we embraced him, and money didn’t matter to us—we were happy to have him. However, he insisted on adding 10 lakh as Haq Meher in the Nikah, which I didn’t want. I had no conditions before the marriage. Now, I am his responsibility, but I don’t approve of conditions like writing money, bank balance, gold, or diamonds in contracts. They gifted two gold rings—one to me and one to Faraal and that was enough for us, we didn’t buy big jewellery sets and expensive things. We wore simple floral jewelry at the Nikah, and that’s all.” Watch here:

Iqrar Ul Hassan Syed is a popular Pakistani anchor, host, and crime reporter, widely known for his investigative show Sar-e-Aam. Besides this, Iqrar ul Hassan is also recognized for Shaan-e-Ramzan and other live television transmissions. Iqrar ul Hassan has now joined politics and has formed his party, Awam Raah Tehreek.
Today, Iqrar ul Hassan announced his resignation from ARY Network as a television host.
In his latest Instagram video, Iqrar ul Hassan said, “My journey with ARY ends here. I have submitted my resignation with a heavy heart to Salman Iqbal. I will share the reasons shortly in the video. These 21 years with ARY were a blessing, and I lived my life to the fullest. ARY gave me fame, opportunities, and respect. I received love from across the country because of ARY. From my audition in 2005 to yesterday, until my resignation, everything is a memory. I worked as a news anchor, host, and reporter. I witnessed Pervez Musharraf’s martial law, I saw Imran Khan’s rise, and I saw governments come and go. I covered protests, the Lawyers’ Movement, and traveled to Burma, Syria, and Turkey to report on earthquakes and wars. I covered everything. I addressed parliament, delivered lectures at University of Oxford and University of Cambridge, and achieved everything one could wish for. I will not discuss Sar-e-Aam because it requires a complete tribute show.”
He further added, “In 2005, ARY announced an open day audition. We reached there, were selected, and began our journey without any reference. The ARY studio saw my son grow from childhood to his teenage years. ARY Digital was like a family to me; it felt like I owned it. Today, I also remember my friend Raja Matloob, who would be unhappy with this decision, and we would have long discussions about it. Today, I am ending my 21-year journey with ARY because, between ARY Network and Awam Raah Tehreek, I had to choose one. I have sacrificed my career for the future of the upcoming generation.” Watch here:

Sanam Saeed is an excellent Pakistani television and film actress known for her iconic shows like Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Mera Naseeb, Kadoorat, Deedan, Shak, and Main Manto Nahi Hoon. Currently, fans are praising her acting in ARY Digital’s drama series Kafeel. Fans are loving her perfect portrayal of Zeba.
In one of the recent episodes of Kafeel, Sanam Saeed was seen repeating one of her old multicolored dupatta looks that she previously created in Zindagi Gulzar Hai’s viral scene. She wore a similar-looking green and yellow dupatta in episode 30 of Kafeel. Previously, she had worn a similar dupatta in episodes 3 and 9 of Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Here are a few screenshots from Kafeel and Zindagi Gulzar Hai:
Drama buffs instantly caught Sanam Saeed’s repeated look, calling it an iconic move by the actor which instantly reminded them of Kashaf. One fan wrote, “This dupatta is the one Kashaf wore in the drama series Zindagi Gulzar Hai.” Another wrote, “This look of Zeba instantly reminded me of Kashaf from Zindagi Gulzar Hai.” Another commented, “Sanam Saeed isn’t aging; she looks the same as she did in Zindagi Gulzar Hai.” A fan also wrote, “I felt like I had seen this look before.” Many fans said that the dupatta Sanam Saeed is wearing is not the same but similar to the one she wore in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. One noted that it has a different print but the same colors. Read the comments:
Zoya Nasir is a renowned Pakistani television actress who gained fame through her hit drama serial Hania. Her other notable dramas include Zebaish, Deewangi, Mere Humsafar, Badzaat, and more. Zoya Nasir recently received praise for Noor Jahan, and fans are also admiring her as Nimmi in Geo TV’s hit serial Kaffara. Zoya is the proud daughter of famous writer and filmmaker Nasir Adeeb. The actress recently revealed that she was offered a famous drama of Sarah Khan.
Recently, on Good Morning Pakistan, she revealed that she had been offered the Ramzan drama Hum Tum.
Speaking about it, Zoya Nasir said, “I am very happy with where I am right now in my career, but I was offered Chaudhary and Sons, which I think I should not have done. At that time, I was working on four sets when Danish Nawaz called me and asked for my dates. I told him that I already had a Ramzan play, was working on other projects, and had signed a contract as well. At that time, Hum Tum was being made, and he was offering me that role. I was offered Sarah Khan’s role, and I wish I had asked him for the script, because choosing Chaudhary and Sons instead of Hum Tum was not a good decision. Chaudhary and Sons faced multiple production issues, and many scenes were also cut in the end.” Watch here:
Humayoun Ashraf is a versatile Pakistani television and film actor who has established himself as a remarkable performer over the years, especially after delivering back-to-back hit dramas like Khuda Aur Muhabbat, Rang Mahal, Mere Damad, Intiqam, Sultanat, Ehsan Faramosh, Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai, Ik Tamanna La Hasil Si, and Mushkil. Last year, Humayoun Ashraf received huge public and critical acclaim for his negative roles in the hit dramas Naqaab and Ilzam-e-Ishq. He will soon be seen again on ARY Digital in Mahnoor.
The actor recently appeared on Good Morning Pakistan, where he opened up about his religious beliefs.
Talking about it, Humayoun Ashraf said, “I try not to skip any Namaz (Salah). We all on set don’t miss any prayer. Usually, people think that we actors are very modern and liberal, but we are not. Some even lecture us; they advise us as if they are Maulana or big religious clerics, and we are the most sinful beings on earth. It’s not like that—we are normal humans, and we also follow our religious duties.” The conversation was started by Zoya Nasir who revealed that Humayoun Ashraf never misses any Namaz.
Nasir Adeeb is among the very few writers in Pakistani entertainment whose work has been celebrated for years. He has been writing for 5 generations now and his fan following has only multiplied. He is also known for speaking about the old Lollywood and he has given newer audience an insight into those times. He was a guest on Sheikh Da Podcast and shared some unknown facts about writing, actors and films.
Charas is an intoxicating substance, a type of drug that changes your brain’s working. This is commonly available in the South Asian region and Nasir Adeeb was asked about its abundant alleged use by writers and how it helps with the writing process. Nasir sahab was candid and shared what he knows about its use in the writing industry.
Nasir Adeeb revealed that charas does help in writing as it helps with your focus. It centralizes your mind and you can then focus solely on the subject that you are writing about. That is how it is effective in the writing process. He added that charas is not drugs but “faqeeri dhuwan”. One should only smoke charas if their brain has been blocked.
He, though, has another way which is even more affective and he has been using it for 6 decades now. He recites, “Rabbi Sharah Li Sadri Wa Yassir Li Amri”, the dua before writing and it has always helped him. He advised other writers to use it as well:
Fiza Ali is a famous actress, singer and host. She is known for her ability to go viral every week for something new. She has just gotten married again at the age of 41 to Ejaz Khan and she has ben enjoying her newly wed life. She invited her husband to her own show where she acted as the host but things got out of hand when her husband picked her up while the show was live. This was deemed inappropriate by the audience and the host has been under severe criticism.
Fiza Ali earlier decided to say that it was a spontaneous moment and she is not taking any of the criticism seriously. She has now given her first interview in a podcast with Dr Nabiha Ali Khan who provided her with an opportunity to clarify herself.
Dr Nabiha Ali Khan was a guest on The Blue Truth Digital where she called Fiza Ali and asked her about the controversy. She asked her if this was all planned and why her husband picked her up.
Fiza said that they have a lot of fun at home and the child just innocently said that. She then playfully dared her husband to pick her up who, being an athlete, took it seriously and picked her up. She added that her husband is halal on her and he is the one who will carry her to her grave when she will die. There is nothing big in this and people are just adding fuel to the controversy. She added many people make money out of her name and that is how they feed themselves. She does not mind it. Fiza said that they show shirtless men lying on bed with women in dramas and no one is outraged. While they are outraged over her own husband picking her up. Fiza does not care about such people and she knows she has not done anything wrong. This is what she said:
The internet is now reacting to Fiza’s justification. One user wrote, “If something is allowed, it does not mean you will do it.” Another added, “The anchor is also cheap. He is just enjoying it.” One said, “You should call a spade a spade. What is wrong will remain wrong even if it is your friend doing it.” Here is the reaction:
Kafeel is a drama that brought Umera Ahmed back to the screens. With Sanam Saeed and Emmad Irfani in the lead roles, the show has been doing well and many people have been loving how the story has brought important themes of men’s responsibilities to our television screens. Zeba and Jami’s story reflected the truth of many other families that we see around us.
The most-awaited twist finally came when Zeba has decided to take khula from Jami. Her son turned out to be the real Kafeel of the family as he stood by his mother and helped her come out of the toxic marriage. The scene where Zeba finally signs the papers turned women emotional. Many women were remembering their own pain through that show.
Here is what happened in Kafeel:
The internet is loving the khula and how it showed how all women deserve peace and power over their own lives. One fan said, “This khula felt like a persoanl win.” Another added, “She stayed in that marriage because she conceived Subuk. Today the same Subuk took her out of it.” One said, “This is my story. I took khula and lived with my son as a single mother.” This is what people said:
Moammar Rana is a huge film star of Pakistan. He started in movies in the late 90s and he was ruling the film world till the downfall of cinema came. He has worked with all the big starlets and he has given a huge blockbuster like Chooriyan. He is going through a rough patch right now in his career and life and many of his weird videos have gone viral. From arriving drunk to his own film’s premiere’s to opting for theater instead of dramas, his career has taken a hit.
Moammar Rana is married to wife Mehnaz Moammar for years now and the couple shares two daughters. They have grown together and they always had each others backs. Writer Nasir Adeeb has now spoken about Moammar’s downfall and he also revealed a shocking detail about his wife on how she played a role in this. This was a big claim which he made on Sheikh Podcast.
Nasir Adeeb said that not everyone can carry fame with grace. People who become too big for their britches often suffer in the end and that is something which happened to Moammar Rana. He did not handle his fame well and unfortunately his wife also played a role. He revealed that back in the day, Moammar’s wife would make alcohol in car and would send it for him on set. This is why he is an alcoholic now.
Fiza Ali is an actress, host and singer. She remains in the news for one thing or another and she is currently trending for her live show with her new husband Ejaz Khan. She was hosting her husband where she was showing off her happiness but she asked her husband to pick her up in his arms. He obliged and picked her in live show. The moment looked inappropriate on camera and people started criticizing the couple.
Fiza Ali had this moment while her daughter Faraal was sitting there and they were both laughing. Fiza has now called it a spontaneous moment and added that there is nothing dirty in it. But politician Azma Bukhari has a different opinion.
Azma Bukhari said that yes PEMRA should take notice but as an individual you should know what is appropriate and what is not. Your own 10 year old daughter was sitting there when you did this. She added that Fiza Ali can do anything for ratings and she did that again. But this action was highly condemnable and though she wishes Fiza happiness in her personal life, she should have maintained decorum on television.
This is what Azma Bukhari said:
The internet is reacting at Azma Bukhari’s statement. One user wrote, “You are right. Take action against Fiza.” Another added, “PEMRA is also enjoying her show.” One said, “You are the government. Don’t just pass statements but take action as well.” This is what people thought:
PEMRA has also served notice to Fiza Ali’s show post controversy:
Pakistani showbiz, including the television, film, music and now social media industries, has really grown into a big space in the last few years. With new-age celebrities joining in and old stars reinventing themselves, new stories keep coming out every season. But one department which is not growing is communication. The year 2026, with just 3 months in, was filled with controversies and many celebrities were seen attacking each other.
Here is a list of recent controversies in the Pakistani showbiz, and they were huge:
Dr Nabiha Ali Khan & Haris Khokhar
Dr Nabiha Ali Khan has become a relevant name in Pakistani showbiz since she started appearing in several shows, and she largely advocates for men’s rights. She got married to her friend Haris Khokhar last year in a lavish ceremony, and just months later, Nabiha shared on Fiza Ali’s Ramadan transmission that her marriage is in trouble. Dr Nabiha Ali Khan and Fiza Ali turned into a dramatic reveal, and their videos went viral all over social media. Many people were seen mimicking and trolling the overdramatisation.
This is what happened:
Fiza Ali & Mishi Khan
The curious case of Dr Nabiha Ali Khan-Haris Khokhar-Fiza Ali turned uglier when many celebrities started trolling how dramatically this was dealt despite being revealed in a Ramadan transmission. Mishi Khan is also among the artists who thought the whole fiasco was unnecessary and even trolled Fiza Ali’s reactions. Mishi Khan and Fiza Ali have since been calling out each other back and forth, and they are not on talking terms.
Another friendship in Pakistani showbiz came to an end for unknown reasons. The controversy unravelled when Fiza Ali suddenly made a video criticising Nida Yasir after her blunder about food delivery people. Things went out of hand when Nida’s husband, Yasir Nawaz, called out Fiza for targeting his wife. After the Fiza-Nabiha controversy, Nida Yasir also tried to share how she will never do such a thing in Ramadan, and Fiza Ali was again pissed off and criticised Nida Yasir.
Javeria Saud & Yumna Zaidi
Javeria Saud is an actress and host who remained in the news throughout Ramadan this year for her inappropriate transmission techniques. She was seen making fun of people’s medical conditions and taking staged calls for TRPs. Things went out of hand when she ended up making ageist comments against superstar Yumna Zaidi. While showing a baby picture of Yumna, which did not even belong to her, Javeria stated, ” This is someone who has been trying for ages to make a mark, and she has recently become famous.” Other actresses jumped to Yumna’s defence while she herself clarified that the baby girl in that particular picture was not even her.
Another big age war took Pakistani showbiz by storm when Atiqa Odho advised Fahad Mustafa on Hasna Mana Hai to star opposite heroines his age. He felt offended and asked Atiqa to get surgeries if she wanted to work as his heroine. Humayun Saeed was standing beside Fahad when he made this comment. Later, Humayun ended up calling Nadia Khan and Atiqa Odho his “elder sisters”, and Nadia Khan trolled him in return. The internet was divided into camps throughout the whole controversy, and Atiqa and Fahad buried the hatchet by apologising to each other.
Resham & Deedar
Resham and Deedar decided to bring old Pakistani showbiz, aka Lollywood drama, to mainstream media. It all started when Deedar called Resham a negative person who had negatively impacted other people’s lives. She said that Resham has destroyed people, while Resham called Deedar a nobody, famous just because of her sister.
This is where it all started:
Ali Zafar & Meesha Shafi
The biggest controversy in the last decade in Pakistani showbiz is the harassment/defamation case of Ali Zafar and Meesha Shafi. The duo has been fighting this out in court for over 8 years now. Ali’s defamation case finally had a verdict when he won, and Meesha Shafi was directed to pay 5 million PKR to him. Meesha’s harassment case is still pending, and the verdict once again divided people into two camps.
Rajab Butt – Eman Fatima & Zulqarnain Sikandar
Rajab Butt and Eman Fatima have been publicly fighting since he announced his intention to divorce her on a podcast. The couple share a son who has also been dragged multiple times into this. Other creators have also taken sides, and Kanwal Aftab and Zulqarnain Sikandar stood with Eman. This ended up riling Rajab, who called Kanwal names. Zulqarnain Sikandar then took to YouTube and exposed how he helped Rajab’s career and even got his wedding sponsored by several vendors.
Alizeh Shah & Yasir Nawaz
Alizeh Shah and Yasir Nawaz worked together in Mera Dil Mera Dushman. They have not been on great terms. Yasir spoke negatively about Alizeh’s alleged unprofessionalism, but later, Alizeh exposed how she had to suffer on that set. They have since been fighting out. Yasir once again spoke about Alizeh and said that he would like to work with her again while Alizeh threatened legal action if he ever used her name on a show.
Fiza Ali & Ejaz Khan
As things were settling down in Pakistani showbiz industry, Fiza Ali invited her new husband Ejaz Khan to her show. They were having a candid conversation when she laughingly asked him to lift her. He lifted her in his arms on live television. It looked extremely inappropriate and now Fiza is facing criticism and ban calls from the audience.
Pakistani showbiz industry has been marred with too many controversies, call outs and clap backs. Many stars have been asking to practice patience before saying painful things to each other. Others are asking to not convert the industry into a battle ground. Controversies are still not stopping and fans and colleagues are making comments on anything and everything.
