Shoaib Malik is one of the biggest names in the world of cricket. He has been the captain of the team and people know him for his calm temperament and his fitness routine. Shoaib Malik has always been in the news for his achievements as well as his personal life. He has now opened up about his family and how they struggled and supported him in his journey.
He was a guest on Fakhar e Aalam’s show and opened up how his sisters played a huge part in his success. He shared that his father wanted him to become a sportsman while his sisters wanted him to focus on his studies. The father-son duo thus sneaked a lot for him to become a cricketer. He then credited his success to his sisters. Shoaib revealed that though his sisters always encouraged him to study more, they supported the house as they were doing jobs as they were not financially stable at the time. He had tears in his eyes as he revealed this.
Here is what he shared:
He also revealed how passionate his father was for his cricket. His father was very ill and he was playing a Test match in Faisalabad. That is when he got a call from his sisters. When he reached home, his father tried to smile and asked him to go back and play the match as he did not want his son to miss that Test, such was his passion and love for his son and the sport. He lost his father later on.
Shoaib had tears in his eyes as he narrated the whole scenario:
Cricket World Cup 2023 has finally concluded today. This year’s World Cup was filled with a lot of drama, conspiracy theories and even full boards getting kicked out. Team India was the hot favourite as they won 10 matches straight and reached the finals. The match occurred in India and the stadium was packed with Bollywood celebrities and politicians. The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi also attended the event. With over 100,000 supporters on the ground and everything going in their favour, Australia still managed to snatch the victory and won the finals in quite a one-sided manner.
This World Cup saw a lot of misbehaviour towards teams from the Indian side. Ex-cricketers like Irfan Pathan were behaving like major trolls and the event was highly politicized with many controversies regarding umpiring decisions and pitches, majority of the decisions that helped India. But in the end Pat Cummins and his boys lift the trophy. Twitter is rife with memes after India’s loss and here is what Twitterati is thinking:
Yasir Hussain is a celebrity who is known for his versatility and blunt statements. He is a writer, director as well as an actor and he never shies away from saying what is on his mind. Yasir Hussain has been in controversy several times and he says whatever he wants without caring about the outcome. Yasir has also been a host for several award ceremonies and he has been under criticism for the jokes he made a time or two.
Yasir was a guest on Ayaz Samoo’s show and he opened up about Pakistani stars and their inability to tolerate a few jokes. He said that Pakistani stars cannot really take humour and he has seen this a time or two. He said that he has seen stars like Meryl Streep getting roasted on the Oscars and how she handled it so well.
He said that he is grateful that Pakistani stars have not reached the Oscars yet as they cannot take jokes at all.
This is what Yasir Hussain had to say about our stars and their inability to tolrate a bit of fun:

Secondly, man, he was just wearing a simple Adidas jumper, and here in Pakistan, our singers are always worried about the looks and brands, but the real stars know that their performance always speak for them. Today, I fell in love with Arijit Singh”. Here is the link to the video shared by Ken Doll:

Ali Abbas is a brilliant Pakistani television actor. Ali also has a solid media background in the industry. He is the son of a famous veteran actor Waseem Abbas. Ali’s Grandfather Inayat Hussain Bhatti was a popular Pakistani folk singer. The ace actor has followed a path of struggle to achieve a big name in the industry, despite having a strong media background. He’s happily married to Hamna Ali and has two adorable kids.
Ali Abbas recently appeared on Samaa TV’s show Gup Shab, hosted by Vasay Chaudhary. In the show, he revealed that in Pakistan, actors are losing their spark due to many reasons, including the lobby system like Bollywood, as certain actors don’t want to work with the others. He mentioned that he also fell prey to this, stating, “I was being rejected in the dramas at the last moment, it happened with me in many dramas. The AD used to call me and say that we are not doing work with you, and the reasons I got to know were that certain actresses did not want to work with me. It is not the case anymore; I am talking about the time when I was new. Now, I have worked with all those actresses as a hero but at that time they didn’t want to work with me”

Pakistani dramas often fail to hold viewers’ interest until the end. There are only a few dramas that manage to captivate audiences throughout their run, leaving a lasting impression. Jannat Se Aagay was definitely one such drama. Jannat Se Aagay not only succeeded in keeping my interest alive but also left a lasting impact with its compelling storyline, well-developed characters, and exceptional performances, especially by Ramsha Khan and Kubra Khan. Although this last episode of Jannat Se Aagay was not as wholesome as I was expecting it to be, the drama delivered as a whole.
The drama skillfully navigated through multiple themes, touching upon issues that are extremely relevant in a world overpowered by ‘influencers’. This narrative encouraged viewers to critically examine the impact of influencers on societal values, individual aspirations, and the blurred lines between reality and the carefully ‘edited’ images presented online and on media.
Although the main protagonist was a Morning Show host, the story definitely transcended the conventional boundaries of its setting. Umera Ahmed utilized the backdrop of electronic media as a platform to delve into deeper societal issues, moral dilemmas, or the intricate interplay between influencers and those they are influencing. As the story progressed, it unfolded as a canvas with a larger, more meaningful agenda. Not to mention the fact that different Morning Shows on Pakistani channels failed us time and again by promoting regressive themes as well as materialism.
Whether it was the exploration of exceeding materialism in society at large or the struggles of individuals trying to carve their paths in the world, Jannat Se Aagay approached these subjects with depth and authenticity.
Apologies and Realizations
The last two episodes of Jannat Se Aagay focused entirely on apologies and realizations. Jannat’s realization was shown gradually. Even with all the abundance and wealth, she always felt empty inside and was losing everything she treasured once. The flashback scenes in the last few episodes were much-needed since I always wondered how Nauman and Jannat’s relationship was before she became rich and famous.
Jannat’s character was beautifully etched out. Away from the demands and responsibilities of her professional life, her character consistently revealed a gentle and kind side. This subtle but impactful shift in demeanor, from work to personal life, served as an appealing element in the narrative, offering a glimpse into the private, more vulnerable aspects of her character. Kubra Khan’s nuanced performance breathed life into Jannat’s character. However, I felt as if Jannat was also ‘punished’ in a way at the end since the viewers were not shown her ‘happy ending’ or her new beginning.
Tabbasum’s journey was equally wholesome and definitely surprising as well. Her journey had a more gratifying ending than that of Jannat. I am certain the majority of the viewers were expecting her to be a Morning Show host but I am glad that the writer kept her track concise and meaningful. Had the preview of the next episodes not been so elaborate, many of us would also have anticipated her to speak against Jannat just as requested by Ayla. Ramsha Khan nailed her role from the beginning till the end. The highlight of the final episode was Tabbasum and Jannat forming a strong bond in the end.
Farooq’s mother was completely absent in the last 2 episodes. I missed her presence since Tabbasum owed her an apology as well and she was one of the most likable supporting characters. Tabbasum’s parents and siblings were to be partially blamed as well for burdening her with their demands; it would have been good if their perspective was shown in these last 2 episodes as well. Also, it would have been better if Jannat was the one who made the final decision instead of Nauman handing over the ring to her. Nauman’s character and his track were a weak link in an otherwise strong plot. He was nothing more than a greedy, good-for-nothing loser who did not entirely take responsibility for his actions right till the end.
Zara’s actions made little sense as well since she was not in a position to judge Noman for sinning differently! She was equally involved in this affair and seemed okay with Noman minting money from his wife for making the restaurant before leaving her for good. It would have been so much better if she left Noman out of fear or perhaps greed. I found it really difficult to relate to her actions in this last episode and whatever she did, did not redeem her character. Did this track even need so much attention? Noman being a greedy thief could have been bad enough.
Final Remarks
Jannat and Tabbasum’s journey was like a mirror reflecting the natural human tendency to yearn for more, often at the expense of losing sight of the blessings already present. This story served as a compelling reminder of the importance of limiting one’s ambitions and establishing personal boundaries.
It highlighted the potential consequences of unchecked desires aptly.
Jannat Se Aagay also shed light on the far-reaching impact of media on the collective mindset of society. It showed how the information spread through various media channels could shape opinions, influence attitudes, and contribute considerably to the collective consciousness. At the same time, it conveyed that the choices made by individuals in selecting and engaging with media content significantly contribute to the overall impact and influence of media narratives.
Umera Ahmed’s signature style was easily detectable in Jannat Se Aagay, spiritualism is one of her favorite themes which she adds to most of her scripts. Gratitude constitutes an important part of religion and Tabbasum’s ending in particular highlighted its importance. With the exception of Farooq and his mother, every other character in the drama was more or less drawn to materialism, desiring more than what they possessed.
Jannat Se Aagay had a slow start but it turned out to be an exceptional drama with great entertainment value. It will also be remembered as one of the few dramas on Geo which did not overstay their welcome. The narrative was unpredictable throughout and the human-like characters made it relatable. Had the writer and producers used the enticing formulas in the first few episodes, this drama would have been more well-received by the audience. The focus on Jannat’s character and show made perfect sense but it was unfamiliar territory and these episodes were slow-paced therefore even I had a difficult time warming up to Jannat Se Aagay in the beginning. Once it took off, there was no looking back!
The fact that Jannat Se Aagay picked up pace later on impacted its ratings. It is also highly unfortunate that such quality content did not get the attention it deserved from the viewers. All those viewers who gave up on this drama after watching the first few episodes should definitely give it another shot.
Jannat Se Aagay may not have been picture-perfect, but it undeniably offered an entertaining and meaningful experience, delivering a well-rounded package to its audience.
Please feel free to share your thoughts and insights about the drama and its last episode.

Pain is an emotion which is felt by everyone who has been born. As we grow up and go through life, we counter so many injustices and betrayals in life that at the time feel unbearable. Many people succumb to these pressures and are never able to rise above what has happened in their lives. But others are strong and move forward in their lives with dignity and like to bury the past in the past.
Celebrities are similar to common folk in this regard and many of them have gone through horrible journeys but they stand back up and rebuild themselves with strength and courage. We have seen many of our favourite stars break down on live television. Many a times they are going through something in their lives and sharing that journey while other times the circumstances and topics they are talking about bring tears to their eyes.
Mathira is a strong woman who has gone through a lot in her life. From starting work as a teenager, being exploited by society, being labelled what she was not and bringing up her sons as a single mother, Mathira has done it all and she does like to cry in shows over what she has gone through.
She was a guest on FHM podcast and said that she does not like to repeat what she has faced in life as this constant crying on shows is not something she approves of. She added that yes, you told your story one time, that’s fine but keeping crying your eyes out over what happened in the past is not getting you anywhere.

For the past many years, we have been waiting to watch Pakistani dramas that diverged from the conventional family politics narrative. The year 2023 proved to be the year when the producers and writers finally introduced new themes in Pakistani dramas. This pivotal year became synonymous with innovation as the industry ventured beyond the familiar, giving viewers who want to watch such dramas enough options to choose from.
All of these attempts were not successful but they can definitely be regarded as a much-needed step in the right direction. These dramas broadened the scope of Pakistani dramas and few of them were exceptionally well-executed as well.
Empowered and Nuanced Female Characters
The bechariaurat has been sold to viewers for many years now. This trend became a norm and even the producers defended it multiple times. The writers were also convinced that the viewers wanted to see women suffering in dramas. We only got to watch strong female characters every now and then. This year, the most refreshing change had to be many empowered female characters in dramas in leading and supporting roles. These characters were layered, well-written and quite a few of them were inspirational as well.
The viewers watched these empowered female characters taking charge of their destinies, breaking barriers, and challenging societal expectations. Their journeys were realistic and each one of them redefined the term empowerment in their own way. This refreshing development is an important step towards a more inclusive and representative era in storytelling, where the richness of women’s experiences is celebrated and acknowledged with the prominence it deserves.
Razia from the mini-series Razia, Zimal from Neem, Shamim and Ayesha from Kabli Pulao, Sofia and Alia from Kuch Ankahi and so many more represented empowered women from different walks of life.
Complex and Unorthodox Male Characters
This year there has been a notable and commendable shift in the portrayal of male characters as well, redefining the very essence of what constitutes a ‘hero.’ While there were still many dramas that banked on the rich and spoiled brats as heroes, there were many others with atypical heroes who possessed distinctive qualities that set them apart. These heroes presented a more diverse and layered representation of masculinity.
Haji Mushtaq from Kabli Pulao definitely takes the lead in this regard since as an unconventional hero he received more love and appreciation than any other. There were many other such characters shown in supporting roles as well. Mannu from Razia, Jeevan Nagar’s Babbar Shah, and a majority of the male characters in Meher Mah fall in the same category as well. Gulzar is another such male lead from Idiot.
Unusual and Meaningful Love Stories
Every story and plot in Pakistani dramas has always had a love story or stories of some kind. However, we rarely get to watch love stories that deviate from the norm. This year, for a change, there were multiple such tracks in dramas. These stories were unlike any other we have seen on our screens before.
The story of young love took center stage in Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri, Haji Mushtaq, Barbeena and Shamim’s love triangle From Kabli Pulao, Shazil, Zimal, and Ashhad’s track was another one which deserves a mention here and then there is Tumharey Husn Ke Naam which has presented an old school love story. Qadar and Hammad’s track from Tinkay Ka Sahara is another example of how love stories were redefined in dramas this year.
I must say that this trend started gradually but it definitely reached its pinnacle this year.
Redefining the Role of Police Officers
This year, we got to see a more diverse, nuanced, and positive representation of police officers in Pakistani dramas. For the longest time, police officers have been stereotyped in our dramas but this year we got to witness multiple such characters which were either a nuanced or a positive representation.
Interestingly enough, there were also multiple dramas in which these officers either played one of the leading roles or were important supporting characters that stood out for all the right reasons. Jhok Sarkar, Pinjra, Tinkay Ka Sahara, Gunah, and many other dramas showed a different side of police officers.
Stories Revolving around Children
In Pakistani dramas, mental health, both in a general context and specifically concerning children, has been a subject that received minimal attention over the years. Despite the fact that some of this year’s dramas that centered around this crucial subject did not fully meet expectations, they undeniably served as platforms to initiate important discussions.
Pinjra definitely tops the list because it attempted to highlight different aspects of mental health and highlighted many parental pitfalls. Idiot addresses more or less the same issue among many others. Daur and Apney Hee Tou Hein were two other dramas this year that had important tracks revolving around children. Mayi Ri would fall into the same category as well even though it failed to do justice to the theme.
Final Remarks
This shift in themes and trends suggests a growing awareness among the producers and storytellers. They understand the need to explore a broader range of subjects that resonate with a more diverse audience. Green TV Entertainment definitely played the leading role in breaking these barriers. However, we still have a long way to go since many of these dramas lacked entertainment and engagement value and some of them even lost the plot in the middle.
