Pakistan has a huge lot of phenomenal, versatile, and beautiful actresses in its showbiz industry. Pakistani actresses are not only popular and loved in their own country but they also have a great fan following in other countries such as India, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Most of the actresses have also shown their essence of talent in projects for the neighboring countries and many blockbuster Pakistani dramas have been aired in other countries which have increased their popularity internationally.
Below are some pictures of gorgeous Pakistani actresses flaunting stunning Silk Sarees.
The first two episodes of Ishq e Laa had a few pleasant surprises in store and were for the most part entertaining. The fact that this drama has been shot so well does not come as a surprise at all because the viewers were already informed about the kind of visuals we will be getting to watch. The producers have been true to their promises for sure and overall the visuals were quite impressive for the small screen. It was like a cinematic experience which when coupled with quality content is always a delight. The spiritual element of the drama came as a complete surprise since the trailers of the drama promised something entirely different. However, this was definitely a lovely surprise since the writer effectively made her intention and the main theme driving the script quite clear right from the beginning. The clarity with which this drama has started, for now, is more promising than everything else about it. The characterizations and the execution also stood out for all the right reasons.
Characterizations & Basic Theme
The opening scenes of Ishq e Laa were refreshingly different and immediately changed the mindset with which I tuned into this drama. Sajal Aly, Yumna Zaidi, and Seemi Raheal stood out in these two episodes more than any other actor. Azaan Sami Khan is a phenomenal musician; I am looking forward to watching more of him as an actor. I think it is too early to judge his acting skills since the shallowness might be part of his character and not a flaw in translating it on screen. So far, whatever has been shown does suggest that there is a toxic side to his character. The first scene of the opening episode was dedicated to defining the term Ishq and the title of the drama Ishq e Laa. It was done so beautifully and added instant meaning and depth to a script that I felt was going to be mainly a powerful love story.
I am also glad that the script does not revolve around the class divide since Shanaya (Sajal Aly) and Azlan (Azaan Sami Khan) both come from affluent backgrounds. The clash might be between their personalities and objectives in life, which should be interesting. Even though Shanaya is compassionate and clearly in love with Azlan, she is not the kind of person who would compromise on her principles. The main characters were introduced and well-established right from the beginning, which is great because honestly speaking I am getting a bit weary of the ongoing mystery surrounding characters in dramas nowadays! However, Shanaya and Azlan did not communicate or talk about each other until the second episode, which was rather odd and honestly speaking unnecessary.
Shanaya and Azlan’s scenes in the second episode right from the start showed that while Azlan also wanted to spend more time with Shayana, his priorities in life were completely different and Shanaya was only his best friend. There isn’t much to like about Azlan’s character so far but it will be interesting to see him change, which I feel is going to happen at some point. Although, these two are ‘best friends’, somehow they do not have the kind of direct communication which is a norm nowadays considering everyone is so well connected because of smartphones. Shanaya did not even know about Azlan’s latest accomplishment until they met and earlier she had to call his mother to ask her when he was arriving.
Shanaya has a strong spiritual side to her personality; she is a journalist and a philanthropist. There was no reason not to fall instantly in love with this character; it is etched out beautifully and Sajal Aly is a remarkable actress who owns every single role she plays. Not to mention the fact that she looked beautiful in both these episodes, the styling and make-up were on point. Azaan needs to change his hair color and hairstyle. Azlan, on the other hand, has a completely different objective in life altogether, he wants to grow his business and reach new heights, relationships are definitely secondary. The way he treated Azka and his conversations with Shanaya in this particular episode also went to show that he does not have the kind of values which Shanaya does. This made me wonder how someone like Shanaya who had such a different approach towards life was even attracted to Azlan. His thinking is not only completely different from hers but he also has the habit of forcing his opinions on others. Apart from being bossy, he cannot stand a different point of view. I must say that I felt as if I needed to see more of these two together.
Azka (Yumna Zaidi) comes from a completely different background but she was also introduced as someone with a strong personality. Her relationship with her mother just like Shanaya and Azlan’s relationships with their mothers was the highlight of these two episodes. It is always good to see supportive parents in dramas that have a relationship that is easier to warm up to. Even though Azlan comes across as spoiled, his mother is a good-hearted person who must have tried her best to raise a balanced individual yet that is not the case.
Uzma Hassan is playing the toxic bhabhi in the play, a character that seems to be a part of most Pakistani drama nowadays. Adnan Samad Khan is also playing a character entirely different from the one he played in Ehd-e-Wafa. I must say that Azka and her mother’s relationship as well as Azka’s personality was the best thing about this track. Azka’s first meeting with Azlan was also an interesting part of the first episode and the way this second episode ended suggested that this track is going to play a major role in the story.
In tonight’s episode, the way the writer showed what freedom meant for all these 3 leading characters was quite interesting. For Azlan it meant no strings attached, the freedom to move forward in his life by growing his business and being successful. For Azka it meant not being caged in and being around people who respected her. For Shanaya it meant being completely free of any kinds of societal pressures and using this sense of freedom to benefit others.
Final Remarks
Ishq e Laa is definitely off to an interesting start. These two episodes were written with utmost clarity and the director managed to make them visually appealing without compromising on the authenticity of the scenes. After watching these episodes, I was more interested in finding out how the story will move forward in the upcoming episodes. The characters and their stories are easy to relate to. Some of the supporting characters also have my attention since the actors playing the role performed so well. I absolutely love how gracefully Laila Wasti translates her characters on screen.

Muneeb Butt became a part of a huge controversy recently. Muneeb was invited to Nida Yasir’s morning show and he jokingly said that women should stay in constant fear that their husbands will do second marriage. In this way, they will shower more love towards their husbands. Muneeb Butt faced immense criticism for his joke. Later, he clarified his stance in another video. Muneeb Butt recently during an interview with BBC talked about this controversy.
“I said something else, and it turned out to be something else. I said it jokingly, it was just a joke. You took that joke completely out of the context, made headlines out of it that Muneeb Butt wants every woman to live in constant fear and God knows what they spread about me, but it didn’t affect me. The next day I said what I wanted to say in my video. Sensible people understood what I said and those people who don’t have any humor I cannot say anything to them” said Muneeb Butt

The drama is produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi under 7th Sky Entertainment productions, it features Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz in lead roles. The drama revolves around the emotional stories of Farhad and Mahi who hail from completely different backgrounds. Mahi, who comes from an influential family, while Farhad came from a very mediocre set up, both fallen in love but could not meet.
The emotional love saga is coming to the end but it is anticipated that the drama’s last episode will not air tomorrow on Geo television network.

Mahira Khan recently paid a humble tribute to the strength, determination and resilience of an accomplished Pakistan Army officer, Lieutenant General Nigar Johar, by portraying her character in a biopic (telefilm) Aik Hai Nigar. As Pakistan Army’s first female Three Star General, Johar is a force to be reckoned with, and her inspirational story is a must-watch.
As television viewers, we are accustomed to watching a certain type of women on television and it’s a rare occurrence to find ‘strong female characters surrounded by supportive people’ in our dramas. Despite Mahira’s remarkable performance, the audience criticized Mahira for her controversial dialogue about doctors in telefilm.
“We aren’t ordinary doctors. We are doctors in uniform. Our Public have many hopes and expectations from us”, says Mahira Khan. Right after the video clip went viral on social media, Mahira Khan faced immense backlash from the audience. The doctors also bashed Mahira for calling them ordinary doctors. Here we have gathered some public reviews, have a look!

Pakistani dramas manage to hold the interest of the viewers even though most of them are spoiled for choice nowadays. With the growth of the Pakistani television industry, there have been certain changes in the way the dramas are made and for how long they stay on the air. While the increase in the number of channels and production houses has given people more dramas to be entertained with, the downside is that there is more competition as well. There was a time when Indian dramas were notorious because they were usually on air for a long period of time and Pakistani dramas were loved by even the viewers from across the border because they ended before reaching the 20 episodes mark. All that changed when the producers in Pakistan realized that they can also earn more money by stretching and dragging the dramas, especially those which have a massive fan following.
Nowadays, even the best Pakistani dramas are dragged therefore if a drama ends without dragging; it comes as a pleasant surprise to the viewers. So, although, dragging the dramas is a norm, some drama makers managed to drag dramas without losing track altogether. There were many other dramas that started off as entertaining and engaging but they completely went off track and were ruined due to dragging. The plot clearly did not have enough going for it and most of these dramas were dragged by making use of the OST, using flashback scenes, and even introducing new tracks when the drama should have actually ended at that point. One of the biggest reasons why these entertaining Pakistani dramas were ruined due to dragging was that these dramas were getting the TRPs and people were hooked to them. Once they were dragged most of the viewers who loved these shows, started criticizing them and were no longer interested in watching them.
Here is a list of those watchable dramas of 2021 that were dragged unnecessarily:
The list is in Alphabetical order.
Azmaish
Writer: Samina Aijaz
Director: Fajar Raza
Producer: Big Bang Entertainment
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Kinza Hashmi, Yashma Gill, Fahad Sheikh, Laila Wasti, Shahood Alvi, Rashid Farooqi, Rehan Nazim and others.
No one would’ve thought that this drama would end up living up to its name. Yes, that is true, drama serial Azmaish stayed true to its title and ended up becoming an Azmaish for the viewers who tuned to it. It was quite obvious that when the drama picked up the success and became popular, the producers decided to not only air the double episodes but turn it into a soap opera with it airing almost the entire week. That is when the story stopped making any sense and the episodes of episodes ended up being filled with scenes and situations of supporting characters.
When the drama began, it did seem promising where it showed the story of a girl struggling in such a household where she was unwanted and deprived of her basic rights. The character of Shiza also caught a lot of attention which was played convincingly by Yashma Gill, however, it remained an unfulfilled wish of the audience to see the issues of Shiza being attended to and resolved. It was frustrating to see her loving father being so blind to all the negativity and toxicity that he never really understood how he should treat his daughter and help her find the light that was missing from her life. Shiza continued to bring one misery after another and just when she got exposed, her father conveniently turned a blind eye, instead of helping her come to terms with her problems. Amish definitely got a lot of fame and success but the purpose of the story got lost the moment they decided to stretch it by adding unnecessary scenes of Nimra’s biological father played by Rashid Farooqi and Basit’s brother and his wife.
Dunk
Writer: Mohsin Ali
Director: Badar Mehmood
Producer: Big Bang Entertainment
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Nauman Ejaz, Bilal Abbas Khan, Sana Javed, Azekah Daniel, Fahad Sheikh, Shahood Alvi, Laila Wasti, Saife Hassan, Salma Hassan, Yasra Rizvi, and others.
Drama serial Dunk had everything to become one of the memorable dramas of this year. Even before it began, Dunk got surrounded with a lot of controversies because the audience was not too happy with the fact that the producer of the show Fahad Mustafa wanted to highlight the abuse faced by men in society. He stated that he wanted these stories to be heard too which sparked a lot of debate about it. Nonetheless, it brought a lot of attention to Dunk, and considering the ensemble cast that was a part of this project, viewers actually decided to give this drama a fair chance, only to be disappointed as it progressed.
Drama serial Dunk did start on a high note with the story being different and top-notch performances, however, it did not meet the expectations because the story stopped making any progress and was pretty much in the loop the whole time. Dunk was stagnant and right after the death of Professor Humayun, it was just the same pattern that was being followed with Amal torturing Haider and Haider facing the brunt of it silently. The only saving grace of Dunk was Bilal Abbas Khan and Sana Javed’s acting. The fact that the audience also got to see a fresh pair of Bilal Abbas Khan and Azekah Daniel was also a plus point. This drama was met with the same treatment as Cheekh, where the story was completely one-sided and suddenly everything wrapped up last minute. The ending where Haider decided to take things in his hand in order to punish Amal was also uncalled for. The makers of the drama serial Dunk did come up with a good storyline but it got lost because of execution. There was a phase in the drama where in every single episode, there used to be just one meaningful dialogue with the rest of it covered with flashbacks, passing shots of the characters as well as over usage of OST. Dunk was a perfect example of good drama tackled poorly and dragged unnecessarily!
Fitoor
Writer: Zanjabeel Asim Shah
Director: Siraj ul Haque
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
Channel: Geo Entertainment
Cast: Faysal Qureshi, Hiba Bukhari, Wahaj Ali, Kiran Haq, Ismat Zaidi, Mizna Waqas, Kamran Jeelani and others.
Drama serial Fitoor had all the potential to become one of the best dramas of this year if they had made a few changes. Unfortunately, they went the typical Geo-TV-route therefore they ruined the drama with their own hands. Fitoor promised a memorable fresh on-screen couple but things turned sour amongst them, therefore they ended up being remembered for all the wrong reasons. The first thing that actually ruined the drama-watching experience was the slow pace and slowest storytelling. There were practically so many episodes where apart from a scene or two, they had nothing to show and relied heavily on the flashbacks.
When the drama began, it was definitely interesting to see a girl like Dilnasheen trying her best to make the most of what her life had to offer but it turned out to be a typical ‘sazishi’ drama with her oh-so-perfect husband ending up buying everything that was sold to him against his wife in the name of ‘ghairat’ and ‘izzat’. As much as the writer tried to show Dilnasheen being wrong, it was hard to see Haider as the victim too. The most unfair part of the story was seeing Dilnasheen literally losing everything whereas Naimal, the one who transpired against her ended up going back to her husband who now had nothing but love to offer to his wife. Haider was presented as a victim who deserved nothing but love and respect from his wife but he came across as a weak man who could not take a stand for his wife and his judgment was still clouded by his past and the feelings he used to have for his cousin. The execution of Fitoor was frustrating to say the least with characters just not saying what they needed to. Another most bizarre aspect of this story was Dilnasheen’s family and their blatant hatred towards her as if she was not their own flesh and blood. Hiba Bukhari and Faysal Qureshi played their respective parts well but sadly, the overall product was so messed up that it just ruined what otherwise would’ve been one of the best projects of their careers!
Mohlat
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Saima Waseem
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
Channel: Geo
Cast: Bushra Ansari, Asma Abbas, Sami Khan, Kinza Hashmi, Komal Aziz Khan, Tanveer Jamal, Sabeena Farooq, Javeria Abbasi, Aadi, Usama Khan, Daniyal Afzal, Saife Hassan, Nida Mumtaz, Sharif Baloch, Nazia, and others.
Drama serial Mohlat had a typical storyline but it had enough going for it to be watchable. It was fast-paced and even engaging in the beginning. The characterizations were solid enough to keep the viewers engaged despite the typicality that is usually used by writers to entice the viewers. There was a certain element of unpredictability as well which made Mohlat one of the better dramas that aired on Geo this year. The performances and the execution added to the overall entertainment value of the drama as well. Samira Fazal definitely knows the art of enticing the viewers but unfortunately, 7th Sky Entertainment excels at dragging every single drama to a point that there is more of the OST in the drama at a given time than the story itself! Just like most of the other dramas on this list, this one too lost its appeal completely after it crossed the 20 episodes mark because the story got repetitive and the ending was as typical as it could possibly be!
Mohlat is the kind of drama that can easily be enjoyed if the viewers choose to watch it online and are ready for it to be stretched to a point that you won’t even find yourself looking forward to the ending!
Pehli Si Mohabbat
Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Anjum Shehzad
Producer: IDream Entertainment
Channel: ARY Digital
Cast: Sheheryar Munawar, Maya Ali, Uzma Hassan, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, Rabia Butt, Shabbir Jan, Saba Faisal, Paras Masroor, Nausheen Shah, and others.
Pehli Si Mohabbat was perhaps the only drama this year, produced by IDream Entertainment that provided quality and meaningful entertainment for many weeks. Through this drama, the writer Faiza Iftikhar skillfully added social messages to an entertaining drama. Pehli Si Mohabbat’s promos suggested it was going to be an intense love story but it turned out to be much more than just that. This was the first time that Sheheryar Munawar and Maya Ali were going to be seen together in a television drama. Both of them had also taken a long break from television therefore Pehli Si Mohabbat was also their comeback drama serial. The leading actors and the larger-than-life promos played a vital role in enticing the viewers but after a few weeks, it was the well-written and meaningful script that became the main attraction for the viewers. Pehli Si Mohabbat had some of the best-supporting characters we have seen in dramas lately and it was a social drama that highlighted the importance of consent in a manner that was anything but preachy. It questioned the widely accepted concept of arranged marriages. The effective and well-integrated screenplay kept the viewers entertained and looking forward to more. Some of the scenes of this drama were so intense that they truly leave a lasting impression. Even though the supporting characters were most often shown breaking the stereotypes, Aslam and Rakhshi’s story remained the center of the story for some reason or the other throughout.
However, even with so much going for it, Pehli Si Mohabbat was one of the most watchable dramas this year that was dragged beyond imagination! Even the most loyal viewers who were invested in the story ended up giving up on the play and were only waiting for the drama to end so that they could binge-watch it online. It was definitely the kind of drama that could have easily been the best drama of 2021 if it was not stretched in the middle and especially towards the ending.
Wafa Be Mol
Writer: Nuzhat Suman
Director: Meer Sikandar
Producer: Momina Duraid Productions
Channel: HUM
Cast: Ali Abbas, Komal Meer, Sukynah Khan, Arez Ahmed, Zain Afzal, Abul Hassan, Hina Javed, Nimra Shahid, Fazila Qazi, Kaiser Khan Nizamani, Behroz Sabzwari, Saife Hassan, Zainab Qayoom (ZQ), Shehzeen Rahat and Others.
Wafa Be Mol is currently on air and this drama can be safely termed as “Nand” of 2021! Although the story is run-of-the-mill, a stellar cast, fast-paced 20 plus episodes, and twists and turns that are perfect for a commercial hit have made the drama popular as well as interesting. The drama kept the viewers involved for many weeks. Also, the fact that this drama aired 5 days a week definitely made a huge difference. Behroze Sabzwari’s character and performance have been the center of attention and appreciation for playing a character unlike any other so far. Shaheer’s character in the drama is a nice break and offers variety. He is the perfect personification of a good male lead and makes up for the toxicity of the other male lead Azar. This character is definitely one of the best ones played by Arez Ahmed. Even Zainab Qayoom is amusing in a negative role. Hina Javed’s character is another refreshing addition to the drama.
Even though Wafa Be Mol still continues to be somewhat engaging, it is being stretched so much that if it does not end any time soon, it will be another case of a watchable drama going completely off track. Also, Hania’s undying love for her good-for-nothing husband is annoying, to say the least! The way Komal Meer has translated this character on screen makes it bearable but it is definitely not the most impressive character in the drama. We really hope that Wafa Be Mol is wrapped up in a few episodes.

After the first two matches of World Cup T20, our team players have become the heroes of the nation. Our team remained unbeatable against both India and New Zealand. The victory was celebrated all over the country. Pakistan vs New Zealand match was held in the historic Shahraj Stadium. The stadium has witnessed many victories of Pakistan.
The crowd in yesterday’s match was crazy. The most important factor about the crowd was the presence of the wives of our cricketers who were also there to support them. In the crowd, our “Bhabies” including Sania Mirza (Shoaib Malik’s wife), Samiyah Khan (Hassan Ali’s wife), Nazia Hafeez (Mohammad Hafeez’s wife), and Sannia Ashfaq (Imad Waseem’s wife) were spotted cheering their husbands during the match.
Here we have garnered a few clicks of the wives of our cricketers from Sharjah stadium. Let’s have a look:
Right after the historic Pakistan vs New Zealand match, when the whole country was busy celebrating the triumph a strange incident took place on national television. Dr. Nauman Niaz who hosts a show on PTV Sports insulted Shoaib Akhtar on live television. Shoaib Akhtar rather than getting into any fight or argument on television resigned from PTV at the spot and walked away with dignity.
The incident enthralled the audience. People couldn’t understand the unethical behavior of Dr. Nauman Niaz. Shoaib Akhtar is receiving complete support from his fans and followers. #ShoaibAkhtar is the top trend of Twitter. Shoaib also issued a video in which he talked about the rude behavior of Dr. Nauman Niaz. Just like common people our celebrities also came forward in support of Shoaib Akhtar. Muneeb Butt, Adnan Siddiqui, Ali Zafar, Dawar Mehmood, Waqar Zaka, Mubasher Luqman, and sports journalist Sikandar Bakht supported Shoaib Akhtar.
Strongly condemn Nauman Nijaz humiliating @shoaib100mph on national tv. He is an international star who is revered world over. Nauman can’t go around insulting guests on his show if he doesn’t agree with their opinion. #iamwithshoaibakhtar
Really applaud the grace shown by @shoaib100mph. He handled the insult heaped on him with so much maturity and patience. Anyone else would have probably lost his cool on air but this guy maintained his dignity. Signs of a good upbringing #sheerclasspic.twitter.com/BHQVO7boZW
We must learn to respect our national heroes & each other generally. We are entitled to our opinions but the same can be expressed politely in a more cultured fashion with the right choice of words to avoid hurting others’ feelings. @shoaib100mph you’re a legend. #shoaibakhterpic.twitter.com/M4oZBXPfC6
Generally speaking, in today’s world, the golden values of mutual respect, compassion, humility, empathy and the will to listen to each other’s point of view patiently are being replaced by hasty judgments, crude expression, nasty use of language and disrespect. V c it every day. https://t.co/5Ycb7yAAKK
Very sorry to see the clip of Nauman Niaz insulting our national hero @shoaib100mph on PTV. Shoaib is a true hero and will always be. I cant believe Dr Nauman acted this way with an International celebrity in such a rude manner. Unbelievable

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir and ex-Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh were involved in a heated exchange on Twitter on Tuesday when the Indian spinner accused the pacer of “disgracing this beautiful game.”
The two shared eight tweets between them in their harsh exchange of words. It all started when Mohammad Amir tagged Harbhajan Singh in a tweet and asked how he was dealing with the loss after Pakistan’s historic 10-wickets win over arch-rivals India in the T20 World Cup Super 12 Stage opener.
hello everyone woh pochna yeah tha @harbhajan_singh paa ji ne TV to ni tora apna koi ni hota hai end of the day its a game of cricket 😊.
The duo’s war of words revolved around 2010 spot-fixing saga, involving Amir, Pakistan’s win over India in the ongoing T20 World Cup and former all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s sixes against Harbhajan. Harbhajan, who has earlier been involved in social media banters with former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar, responded by uploading a video clip of him hitting a six against Amir to win the match for India in Asia Cup 2010.
To which the Pakistani pacer replied by sharing a video clip of a Test match between India and Pakistan when Shahid Afridi hit four sixes off Harbhajan. This tweet by Amir angered Harbhajan, who then replied by sharing an unfortunate incident from the Lord’s 2010 Test between Pakistan and England where Amir was found guilty of spot-fixing.
https://t.co/tZGLtwBKCa me busy tha @harbhajan_singh apki bowling dekh raha tha test jab LaLA ne apko 4 bowls pe 4 sixes mare thay but cricket hai lag sakte but test cricket me 😅😅😅😅thora ziada ho gia tha
Lords mai no ball kaise ho gya tha ?? Kitna liya kisne diya ? Test cricket hai no ball kaise ho sakta hai ? Shame on u and ur other supporters for disgracing this beautiful game https://t.co/nbv6SWMvQl
And then Amir replied with another tweet by sharing a funny video clip from a Bollywood movie. The war of words just not ended here, it was continued with more tweets.
Bare hi dheet ho talking about my past wouldn't change the fact that tumko 3 din pehle moun ki khani pari. and how about your illegal bowling action mate ab nikal or humko WC win karta dekh. walk over tu nhi mila jao Park me walk karo u'll feel better @harbhajan_singhhttps://t.co/i1dCh7I28c
Former Pakistan fast bowler and cricket analyst Shoaib Akhtar resigned from PTV after things turned unpleasant between him and host Nauman Niaz on the popular show Game on Hai on Tuesday. As Shoaib Akhtar was going through some cricket trivia — during which he credited the Pakistan Super League’s Lahore Qalandars team for discovering Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf — the show’s host, Nauman Niaz, seemed to take offense and snapped back at Shoaib.
Dr Nauman Niaz and Shoaib Akhtar had a harsh exchange of words during live PTV transmission. pic.twitter.com/nE0OhhtjIm
“You’re being a little rude and I don’t want to say this: but if you’re being over smart, you can go. I am saying this on air,” Niaz told a dumbstruck Shoaib, cutting him short and moving to the next guest for their comment. It wasn’t clear what rubbed Niaz the wrong way, and it seemed Shoaib himself was caught off guard. As the tension in the room heightened following the interruption, Niaz called for a commercial break.
and seniors and millions watching. I tried to save everyone from embarrassment by saying I was pulling dr nomans leg with this mutual understanding that dr noman will also politely apologise and we will move on with the show ,which he refused to do. Then I had no other choice .
Several clips from the segment have been doing the rounds on social media, with a number of Shoaib’s supporters expressing disappointment and anger towards Nauman Niaz for “demeaning a legendary cricketer” on live television.
Very sorry to see the clip of Nauman Niaz insulting our national hero @shoaib100mph on PTV. Shoaib is a true hero and will always be. I cant believe Dr Nauman acted this way with an International celebrity in such a rude manner. Unbelievable
PTV is run by public taxes and we the public cannot tolerate someone to be fed on our taxes who doesn't know how to respect legendary players of this country. So being a taxpayer I demand govt to immediately take action against Nauman Niaz for disrespecting Shoaib Akhtar.
