Alizeh is a very emotional artist who gets affected even by small things. She often shares her thoughts with fans, and this time, she has spoken up about something that is bothering her regarding Eid ul Adha.
Alizeh Shah expressed her fear regarding the upcoming Eid ul Azha and the sacrifice of animals. She shared her feelings openly and said that Qurbani should be done with care and responsibility. Talking about it, Alizeh wrote, “A humble thought from the heart. As Eid ul Adha approaches, I’ve been holding onto something I feel I should finally express — with the utmost respect, love, and understanding for everyone’s beliefs and practices. Please know this is not a criticism, just a soft voice sharing a different perspective. I know that Qurbani (sacrifice) is a Sunnah, a beautiful tradition rooted in the story of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his submission to Allah’s will. But it is also true, from an Islamic standpoint, that it is not a fardh (obligatory) act for everyone. For many, it’s only required once in a lifetime, and even then, only if one is financially able. Yet, sometimes, it feels like this sacred act has turned into something else entirely.”
Alizeh was also not happy about seeing the signs of sacrificing of animals on the roads. She stated, “Every year, I see so much pain on the roads — blood, fear in the eyes of animals, their cries — and my heart breaks. I know they can’t speak, but animals feel. They love, they nurture, they form bonds — just like we do. They were created by the same loving God who created us, and to see them suffer so publicly, often with pictures, jokes, and memes shared on social media — it’s something I personally find very difficult to digest. I know intentions matter, and I know that for many, Qurbani is done with sincerity and reverence. This post is not against that. It’s only a gentle plea: Can we make this Eid less about how many animals we sacrifice or how big they are, and more about the spirit of giving, empathy, and humility? I only request — if it’s possible — please be mindful of the images and videos shared online. Some of us are deeply affected by them. Islam teaches mercy, compassion, and dignity — for humans and animals. That is the true Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH).”
She also said that it was just her personal opinion to which fans may disagree or disagree. Here is the post shared by Alizeh Shah:
Faysal Quraishi is a versatile Pakistani television and film actor. He is known for his excellent performances in hit dramas like Boota from Toba Tek Singh, Qaid E Tanhai, Meri Zaat Zarra E Benishan, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, Bashar Momin, Fitoor, Rang Laga, Haiwan, Sabz Pari Laal Kabootar, Aap Ke Liye, Farq, Khaie and Zulm. Recently, fans are loving him in Raaja Rani and Behroopia. Faysal Quraishi will also be seen in Eid ul Azha release feature film Deemak.
Recently, Faysal Quraishi spoke to journalist Ambreen Fatima during the promotion of his upcoming film Deemak. In the interview, he discussed the harsh criticism Hania Aamir and Fawad Khan have received from fans.
Talking about it, Faysal Quraishi said, “Who chose to speak, who didn’t, and who delayed speaking out against India — we shouldn’t bash our own people. That’s not our job. We talk about unity, so why should I expect others to speak? I will do my part. Okay, let’s talk about Fawad Khan and Hania Aamir — why are people going after them? I didn’t like the bashing they received. Yes, we admit that Fawad tweeted (for Pahalgam) and he wasn’t vocal otherwise but he tried to save his film, a project he worked on for six months. After whatever happened, he did speak out. Hania tweeted and Mahira has been vocal from day one. But still, it wasn’t appropriate to attack Fawad and Hania. Fawad just tried to protect his film. Maybe he realized it later that he was wrong. Nowadays, people get angry and lash out at artists which put them in danger. The same thing once happened to Junaid Jamshed. People spread hate about him, and he was physically attacked. I have even called Nadia Khan and told her this shouldn’t happen. She’s a very good friend of mine.” Here is the link to the video:

At a recent press conference in Dubai, Mahira Khan was asked about her experience working with Shah Rukh Khan and the technological differences between Pakistan and India, but she responded to the question intelligently.
Replying to the reporter’s question, “You have worked with Shah Rukh Khan and have great experience in Bollywood. Love Guru was also beautifully shot. Are we now at the same level?” Mahira Khan said, “That story is quite old now. You should have asked me about The Legend of Maula Jatt. The level of production in Maula Jatt was unmatched in the subcontinent. The film was equally brilliant like any other international film. Also, technology wise, I think we are improving day by day. I don’t think there should be any comparison, and you will love Love Guru’s visuals and sound. “ Here is the link to the video:

Vaping and smoking have become very common in Pakistan. Gen Z loves new trends and this is an unfortunate trend that is taking over the country’s youth. Like common folk, celebrities are also indulging in smoking. We have seen many videos and pictures of celebrities getting leaked while smoking and the public always has a lot to say about it. Female celebrities get a lot more flak than male celebrities.
Hina Bayat was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and she spoke about how vaping is increasing in young actors and actresses. She very openly said that all the young stars are into it. She, herself is allergic to smoke thus she always asks them to step out of any shared space when they are vaping. The actress revealed that once a young actor asked her if they can vape in her presence. She clearly denied it. The actor got offended that you non-smokers are so partial towards smokers. This is an increasing habit that she has witnessed amongst the younger lot and she wants them not to do it in public spaces.

Recently we have seen actresses speaking on women issues and feminism in a very different tone. Saima Qureshi at first said that a woman’s money which she earns for her household is not blessed. The statement caused quite a stir. Then came Sarah Khan’s recent statement that she is not a feminist. She cannot stand in line to pay her bills and she wants her husband to do that for her. Samina Peerzada has now spoken about these issues in a great way and this is how it should be done and understood.
Samina Peerzada said that there should be chivalry from a man’s side. The paying of bills, the opening of doors is all very important. But that reflects on a man’s character and not on a woman’s and this is what needs to be understood. She said that if she has to open a door, she will open it but when a man does it, the first thing that comes to her mind is how that man’s mother has trained him to respect women. It reflects on his character and upbringing. She also added that a woman’s money not being blessed is also a farce. She has contributed a lot to her daughter’s education while her husband built them a house. They both respected each other’s contributions and built a life together.
This is what she said:
Samina Peerzada also spoke about how they shared responsibilities in their lives. She shared that she has never made a face if Usman wanted to help his family. She will also actively help him and his family. Similarly, Usman Peerzada has always supported their family, her and he played his part in taking care of Samina’s mother. He was loved deeply by Samina’s mom and Samina Peerzada was loved by Usaman’s mother and this is how a marriage should be with support and love for family.

The Indian writer had stated that he will choose hell over Pakistan while he has been to Pakistan and he was hosted quite well. He got a lot of criticism recently for these negative remarks. Hina Bayat said that he has to prove his loyalty to India and this is how he does it. In India, hating Pakistan is the way you show how loyal you are. Hina added that she requests Lahoris however to not host such people in future. We Pakistanis are hospitable and we will sit at the knees of elders but that man does not deserve it.
This is what she said:
Hina Bayat was a journalist and columnist before she got into acting. She shared that once she was at a journalism conference and met a Hindu journalist from India. He told her that “You Muslims have big hearts.” Hina replied: Yes we do. He then added that, “Pakistanis have even bigger hearts as you accepted Bangladesh with open arms while we Indians have still not accepted Pakistan and we are raising our children in hatred.”

They told me, “You’re gaining masala out of it.” I believe Feroze Khan’s fans were quite upset with me—they threatened me and said things like, ‘We will kill you,’ or ‘We will take your life. You don’t know how to act.’ To them, I just want to say, ‘I may not be perfect, but I do know how to act’. Still, it’s okay. There were also many actors and writers who appreciated my reviews.” Atiqa Odho said, “I’m happy that you’re finally getting some heat and the focus has shifted from us to you.”

Talking about it, Asrar Shah said, “I haven’t met Chahat Fateh Ali Khan so far, but if I have to meet him, I will because sometimes you have to do many things without your wishes. He is not a good singer, but you can’t say that his success is a decline to music, because art has many forms and we always have space for arts and every type of music has listeners too. There is always a space for creativity, and good content will always get through. I can give an example for this: there was a time we rarely had mobiles, now everyone uses it. Likewise, there was a time when celebrities were only restricted to PTV, now everyone is a star with the phone. It is a space that has been created for those people who wish to become something. I have a message for Chahat Fateh Ali to stay happy. I can’t give him any advice related to melody because he won’t be able to understand it.”

I was new in the field; I went to give auditions to Mohsin Talat. I thought he would be an old man, but when we reached the office, I saw a young man sitting in the office. I said, “I want to talk to your director.” He said, “Yes, I’m Mohsin Talat.” So I went to give the audition but ended up giving him my heart. I chose Mohsin because of his way of talking, which was so sweet. It was love at first sight. His eloquence made me his fan—it’s rare in men. I have seen loud men in my family. My perception changed after meeting him. I think our marriage is working because of the patience of my husband. We faced many hindrances, but it happened. Allah saw our intention, and we succeeded.”
Here are a few pictures of Sarah Omair with her husband Mohsin Talat:
Mahira Khan is a stellar Pakistani TV and film actor who is loved, praised, and respected by millions of fans. However, the actress recently went through a very tragic incident during her London promotions, where she was mobbed by the crowd. Amidst all this, an official security guard who was assigned to protect her tried to harass Mahira Khan.
The incident occurred in London on May 25, 2025, when the crowd tried to get closer to Mahira Khan in the Super Market where the meet and greet was held. Instead of protecting her from the crowd, the London security official started grabbing Mahira Khan’s body. The actress was totally in shock and terror because of what was happening to her when Humayun Saeed asked the security guard to leave Mahira Khan. Humayun Saeed then stood behind her throughout the meet and greet.
Now, videos are going viral on social media, exposing the culprit—who was none other than the security guard himself. Journalists in London are also pointing out the guard’s manhandling of Mahira Khan. The actress even shared a picture of her chipped nail, which occurred during the mishandling. She also expressed feeling exhausted from all the promotions, especially after such a bitter experience. Mahira wrote, “My nails are saying take me home.”

One fan wrote, “It was the security guard who harassed her.” Another commented, “The security guy in the black glasses is also an active TikToker.” A third user said, “Humayun Saeed handled the situation gracefully. What kind of security is this? He is grabbing her.” Another added, “Mahira Khan should sue the company for providing such a security guard.” One more user wrote, “It is clearly the security guard who is touching her inappropriately.” Read the comments:

The actor also commented on society’s mindset that parents only want their daughters to marry a financially stable man. He said this is also good as marrying off a girl to someone who does nothing is not right. Parents think about it. But people have started comparing stability with salary numbers. A young man would not be as stable as a middle aged man. Thus there should be flexibility from both sides when a couple gets hitched. He is happy that things are changing now and both bride and groom’s side are making things less complex in terms of dowry and financial expectations.
Amer Gaddafi, a Libyan man started his journey for Hajj from his homeland. He was in Dubai when he was stopped for security clearance and the flight for Hajj left without him. He was devastated as he wanted to perform hajj this year. But miracles do happen even in the 21st century and the world saw a miracle in front of their eyes.
The man’s surname aka Gaddafi is what was keeping him held back at the security counter when the flight left him. What ended up happening was the flight had to return due to some technical issue. After resolving the issue, the flight took off once again without Amer Gaddafi. The flight developed a glitch for a second time. It turned back for correction. The third time, the pilot asked authorities to bring the Haji Amer Gaddafi on his plane or he will not fly out. After Amer came on borad, the flight took off a third time and reached Saudi Arabia.
This is what went down:
The Haji also spoke to the media after this miraculous journey of his:
(عامر المهدي منصور القذافي) شاب ليبي قرر حج بيت الله وعند وصوله المطار واجه مشكلة أمنية في جواز السفر (بسبب اسم العائلة) فتأخر وأصر الكابتن على الإقلاع بدونه قائلاً بأنه لا يمكن الانتظار حتى يتم حل مشكلة الجواز… أمّا عامر فأصر بأنه لن يبرح المطار حتى يذهب للحج.
People all over the world are in wonder after this story of miracle and faith went viral. One said, “Only those who are chosen go for this journey.” One added, “May we all see such miracles in our lives.” One said, “Allah is the best of planners.” This is what they had to say:

Shazeal Shoukat is a well-known Pakistani actress and model known for her bubbly personality and outspoken nature. She often makes bold statements and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. In a recent appearance on the FHM podcast, she discussed the idea of working in Bollywood and addressed the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.
Shazeal Shoukat said that she believes in the power of manifestation. She thinks that she can conjure what she wants in her life through the power of manifestation. She also shared that she would love to work in Bollywood when she will be given good opportunities and there will be acceptance and respect from the Indian side. She has manifested working in India when they proudly own her. She will also take her time as she thinks she needs to polish her acting before starring in a Bollywood film.
This is what she said:
She was indirectly asked about a star aka Fawad Khan who was removed from the film posters and promotions and his film was delayed and he still did not condemn India. Shazeal Shoukat had a unique take on it. She said that if she was in his shoes, she would have condemned India as her faith will be much stronger. You need to have faith that money will be provided by Allah and you should have this faith. If India does not take you, go for Hollywood as that is always a choice.
Love Guru is not just another film on the Eid-ul-Adha calendar — it’s a potential lifeline for Pakistani cinema. Since the phenomenal success of The Legend of Maula Jatt, the industry has been in a creative and commercial stalemate. Despite the massive box office breakthrough, no film has been able to follow up with the same energy, scale, or public interest. As a result, local cinemas have struggled, and audiences have increasingly turned to foreign content.
That’s where Love Guru steps in — with its star-studded cast, international promotions, and an engaging, feel-good story, it may well be the film that pulls Pakistani cinema out of its post-Maula Jatt slumber and sets a new benchmark for what local films can achieve in 2025 and beyond.
Starring Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed in lead roles and directed by the ever-reliable Nadeem Baig, the film is being hailed not just as a potential Eid blockbuster, but as a turning point for modern Pakistani cinema.
Star-Powered Reunion with Global Appeal
The on-screen reunion of Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed after nearly a decade has sparked nostalgia, excitement, and massive anticipation. Their chemistry in Bin Roye left a lasting mark, and Love Guru offers audiences a more contemporary, humorous take on relationships, love, and societal expectations.
But this film isn’t just about two stars — it’s a complete ensemble. With seasoned veterans like Javed Sheikh, Marina Khan, and Usman Peerzada, and fresh talent like Ramsha Khan, Momina Iqbal, Vardah Aziz, and even international actress Natalia Janoszek, the cast alone signals a bold shift in the right direction.
In a move previously unimaginable for a Pakistani film, Love Guru’s trailer was screened in the heart of global entertainment — Times Square, New York City. This unprecedented marketing push has already created a buzz far beyond South Asia, introducing Pakistani cinema to a wider, more diverse global audience.
Not Just a Rom-Com
While on the surface Love Guru appears to be a rom-com, its layered screenplay by Vasay Chaudhry promises more than just laughs. It touches on themes of emotional vulnerability, modern love, and the contradictions faced by a man who claims to fix others’ relationships while struggling with his own. This blend of satire, emotion, and introspection is a welcome break from the clichés that have defined local rom-coms in the past.
A Technical Leap Forward
From its high-end visuals to slick editing, international locations to tightly choreographed song sequences, Love Guru demonstrates a technical polish that matches global standards. Whether it’s the music video for “Bekhabreya” or the London-based sequences, the film doesn’t look like it’s playing catch-up — it looks like it belongs on the international stage.
Cinema That Travels
More than just a local hit in the making, Love Guru is designed to travel. By incorporating diasporic themes, multilingual accessibility, and global promotional strategies, the film is creating a bridge between Pakistani cinema and international viewers — something even Bollywood took decades to fully embrace.
The Bigger Picture
What makes Love Guru a game changer isn’t just its cast, music, or marketing. It’s the mindset behind it — a refusal to be boxed into traditional limitations. It’s proof that when Pakistani cinema dares to dream big, invest right, and tell bold yet relatable stories, it can not only compete — it can lead.
With its Eid-ul-Adha 2025 release date locked, all eyes are now on Love Guru to deliver at the box office and beyond. Whether you’re watching it for the performances, the laughs, or to witness the evolution of Pakistani film, one thing’s certain — this is more than a movie, it is a step in the right direction for Pakistani cinema.
Dayan is a crime thriller drama with a dramatic flair to it. It marks the comeback of Mehwish Hayat to the television screens. The drama has finally hooked the audience with the biggest twist ever as Nihaal aka Mehwish finally changes into Misha. She was an innocent girl who went through hell and was nearly murdered by her in-laws. Her child was also snatched from her.
The drama has taken creative liberty. Nihaal has gone through plastic surgery and makeover to become the Dayan of the show. She looks the same but she is still unrecognizable.

She is the new nanny for her own son and she will be planning her next moves now.
The audience is entertained for sure. One netizen said, “Geo has crossed Star Plus with this twist. How is no one recognizing Nihaal.” One added, “So now we have to play dumb and think that Nihaal’s face is changed.” Another pointed out, “Usman Peerzada is such a talented doctor. He was previously a gynaecologist and now he is a plastic surgeon.” This is what the internet thinks:

It was my willpower that helped me survive, because my oxygen levels had dropped significantly. I believe I survived because of my sons, who used to sleep in my room with me. It was a time when people were isolating COVID patients, but my children didn’t leave me alone for even a second. I truly believe I came back to life because of them.”

Faisal Rehman is a superstar of Pakistan. He has worked in films and dramas and he ruled both the mediums. He is also known for his special sense of humour and how he has remained himself even after years of stardom. The star just won hearts with his comeback in Qarz e Jaan and he has been appearing for several interviews lately.
Faisal Rehman is still single and he has always been very open about his desire to be by himself. He has previously been linked to many of his co-stars including the iconic Babra Sharif but he has never been married nor he announced a serious relationship in so many decades of stardom.
He was a guest on Samaa TV’s morning show and revealed that he has actually never fallen in love.

He has been that age once and he knows what is actually going through your mind and he just could not reciprocate the feelings.
Pakistani dramas are loved globally now. Within the last decade, our dramas have increased their international audience. The down-to-earth storytelling, sweet romantic tracks, and melodrama attract the audience towards them. Though scripts became stagnant for a while and we started seeing many formulaic stories to gain ratings, things are changing again as the audience increases. Among all the changes, the change in how romance is portrayed on-screen is a welcome one.
Pakistani dramas are known for their hit on-screen couples. There have been instances when these on-screen couples became off-screen couples too. If we speak about the kind of love stories that generally work on Pakistani television, then we can push them into several categories:
Shahmeer & Shibra From Ishq Murshid
Shahmeer and Shibra, played by Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem, is a type of fantasy romance that we can see on Pakistani television. The boy is rich, while the girl is from a middle-class family. They are at most in their mid-20s, and they fall in love. Love stories of this genre are loved by millions, and it is among the most loved romantic tropes of Pakistani dramas.
Mustafa & Sharjeena From Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Mustafa and Sharjeena are another beloved couple from Pakistani dramas who gained worldwide recognition. Their romance showcases a different dynamic that resonates with audiences. In this story, we have a poor young man and a beautiful middle-class woman, and we witness their gradual journey to falling in love. Both characters are in their mid to late 20s. Fahad Mustafa designed his character in a way that made him appear at least a decade younger than his actual age.
Nosherwan Ghaznavi & Dua From Jaan Nisar
In Pakistani dramas, another common type of romance features a man in his early 30s from an elite background who falls in love with a girl from a poor financial situation. Typically, the girl is a college student. This storyline consistently attracts high viewership on television. Although this trope has been used extensively, it continues to resonate with audiences.
Romance is often at the center of television storytelling. However, many dramas present a limited view of love. They suggest that love belongs only to the young. Once a person crosses the age of 35, love is no longer part of the narrative. This applies to both men and women. In most stories, love ends with a wedding. The focus is on celebrations—flowers, music, and bright lights. The emotion itself is not explored beyond that point. Real-life complexities and mature relationships are rarely shown. Some dramas, such as Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, make an effort to go deeper. But overall, love is treated more as a destination than a journey.
Fortunately, trends are changing, and we are finally seeing couples who are older. Some find love later in life, while others have kept their romance fresh and strengthened it after years of companionship. These heartwarming stories about everyday people resonate with many and are gaining attention. Here are a few examples of how romance is evolving on television, and this change is certainly welcome:
Iqbal & Zulfi In Yunhi
Yunhi was an underrated drama that conveyed many important messages and depicted real issues faced by families. The portrayal of Tazeen Hussain as Iqbal, who yearns for love for years and finally finds happiness in her 40s, was commendable. It was refreshing to see that life does not end at 35. The show emphasized that individuals in their 40s are just as deserving of love and companionship, and they have the right to marry. While there was a young couple, Maya Ali and Bilal Ashraf, featured in the show, audiences also appreciated the mature love story. It received positive feedback and acceptance, marking a welcome change from the typical narrative of 19-year-olds eager to get married.
Asim & Bisma From Qarz e Jaan
A recent mature love story we saw on our screens was Qarz e Jaan, featuring Bisma and Asim. This series showcased the talents of Tazeen Hussain, paired with romance king Faisal Rehman. The plot revolves around a woman with a daughter of marriageable age who decides to remarry. On her wedding day, she dresses as a beautiful bride, with her daughter standing behind her, hoping to find happiness once again. It was refreshing to see how the love story of the older couple, in their 40s and 50s, was received more positively than that of the younger cast.
Mehnaz and Ahsan From Tan Man Neelo Neel
Tan Man Neelo Neel was a drama that touched upon so many sensitive topics and it shook the audience with a strong finale. But one more track in the show that won everyone was how it focused on the relationship of an older couple. Mehnaz and Ahsan played by Nadia Afgan and Noman Masood had their own life, they had angst, they had romance and they still loved each other. Being older in age did not stop their hearts. People loved watching a woman still in love with her husband despite being mom to a grown up daughter and they loved how Ahsan had other character traits and he was not just a father asking for tea. A complex track which showcased love of an older married couple and it was not only appreciated but once again ACCEPTED by the audience.
Roshi’s Grandparents In Meem Se Mohabbat
Arshad Mehmood and Beo Zafar played the grandparents of Dananeer Mobeen in Meem Se Mohabbat. They were not just showpieces or cry babies in the show. They had mutual respect and they loved each other. They discussed life and had opinions. An older couple still looking bomb and having real personalities was refreshing for the audience.
Sameer’s Parents In Parwarish
Parwarish is a television drama that primarily explores the experiences of Generation Z. One prominent character, Sameer, is supported by his parents, portrayed by Saman Ansari and Saad Zameer. This couple is responsible for raising two teenagers while managing the common challenges associated with a joint family structure. Despite these difficulties, they prioritize their relationship, demonstrating a commitment to each other. The development of their characters is robust, engaging the audience and fostering a connection to their narrative. The series effectively depicts the distinct challenges encountered by both husbands and wives, contributing to its relatability and resonance with viewers.
Ibrahim And Aliyah From Mann Jogi
Ibrahim and Aliyah portray an unconventional romance in Pakistani dramas. The creators opted to cast Bilal Abbas Khan in a softer role that strays from the typical heroic character. Unlike traditional leads, he is uneducated and marries a divorcee who is likely older than him. In contrast, the female lead is fierce, highly educated, and excels in many ways compared to the male lead. Despite their differences, the romance unfolds through a compelling script that fans genuinely appreciate.
Haji Mushtaq & Barbeena In Kabli Pulao
Haji Mushtaq and Barbeena, played by Mohammad Ehteshamuddin and Sabeena Farooq, took the fans and the industry by storm. No one expected such a show to resonate so deeply with the audience. The hero was considerably older, while the heroine appeared without any makeup, sporting simple attire instead of glamorous outfits. Despite not speaking each other’s language, their romance was remarkably engaging. This unconventional pairing succeeded and encouraged other drama creators to take risks in their storytelling. The couple transformed how audiences perceive romance in Pakistani dramas, and a straightforward narrative ultimately sparked a subtle shift in the thinking of producers.
The growing acceptance of mature, well-developed romances marks a positive shift. Audiences are moving beyond the chaos of love at first sight. Viewers have shown their maturity. It is now up to creators to respond and deliver more thoughtful, sophisticated love stories on screen.
