Social media users are sharing mixed reactions to the songs. Fans of Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan are quite excited and positive about the film.

One fan wrote, “We should all support and watch Pakistani cinema.” Another commented, “This looks amazing. This movie deserves to be watched in cinemas.” A fan added, “Whatever they say, Mahira has an aura and class.
However, many viewers did not like the song and felt that Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed do not look age-appropriate for the roles. Several criticized the choreography, while some objected to the use of an old song. One fan wrote, “Both Mahira and Humayun are too old for this role; they should have also cast their age fellow Mehwish Hayat in order to complete their old age group.” Another expressed concern, stating, “I can’t believe what’s happening to the Pakistani drama and film industry. They’re becoming too bold, yet they call themselves Muslims.” Read the comments:

Zara Noor Abbas dedicated her performance to mother with an emotional note that said, “To my Amma, you are the strongest woman I have ever known. Because of you, I have learned how to carry pain quietly, how to sacrifice without expecting applause, how to show up with grace even when the world doesn’t notice—just because I want to be like you. There are so many things I do today, so many burdens I carry. But somewhere along the way, I’ve also realized something else: that maybe, Amma, you shouldn’t have had to give up so much. That maybe your dreams mattered too. And that maybe… I don’t have to be as selfless as you to be worthy of your love, or the ‘medal’ the world gives for self-sacrifice. So today, I want to live your dreams too. For you. With you.” Here is the dance performance:

I am that big fan of her.” Here is the link to the video:
Aina Asif is the rising star of the Pakistani drama industry. She began her career as a child actress and now takes on larger roles. Although she is relatively new to showbiz, she has quickly become a household name thanks to her strong performances, wise script choices, and bubbly personality. Her journey has been remarkable, and she is a talented new addition to Pakistan’s entertainment scene.
Let’s take a look at Aina Asif’s journey from Hum Tum to Parwarish and how she has grown in front of the audience:
Hum Tum – The Big Debut
Aina Asif became a part of the audience’s memory when she played Ahad Raza Mir’s sporty sister in Hum Tum. Her role was progressive, youthful, and something many young girls could relate to. Her on-screen bond with Ahad made her an overnight star. But that is not where Aina Asif started. She first began with commercials and later shifted towards fashion shoots. After seeing her brother in acting, she wanted to try acting. Aina’s first role was in Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar’s starrer Pehli Si Mohabbat, where she played Maya’s childhood.
This is how Aina Asif became a part of the television industry:
Aina Asif – Brother’s Support
Aina Asif’s brother, Ahmed Asif, began his acting career before she did. He is seven years older than Aina and was working on a drama that inspired her to pursue acting as well. Ahmed is very supportive of his sister’s passion. They first appeared together in Pehli Si Mohabbat, where Ahmed played the childhood of Sheheryar Munawar, while Aina portrayed the childhood of Maya Ali. Aina has shared that her brother is her support system and always provides her with the best possible advice.
Take a look at the beautiful bond between this brother-sister duo:
Mayi Ri – The Rise
Mayi Ri was a significant experiment in Pakistani television trends, featuring two young actors in lead roles. Aina Asif portrayed the now-famous character Annie, a girl who experiences child marriage, gives birth while still underage, and faces the consequences of these decisions. Remarkably, Aina was only 14 years old when she took on this sensitive role, and she delivered an outstanding performance.
The drama became a massive blockbuster, breaking several viewership records. Additionally, Mayi Ri sparked important conversations about child marriage, highlighting that it remains a practice not only in rural but also in urban households across Pakistan.
Aina Asif has shared multiple times that she put herself under the skin of Annie and thought how it would feel if she had to go through a similar experience when she is a child herself. This allowed her to channel very real emotions in Mayi Ri. This is what she shared:
Experimenting & The Age Conundrum
Aina Asif is actively exploring a variety of roles in her burgeoning acting career and is fortunate to receive commendable script offers. She is methodically selecting projects that align with her artistic vision. Following her portrayal of a complex negative character in Woh Ziddi Si, she has now undertaken a dual role in the upcoming drama Judwaa.
Nevertheless, she faces a challenge due to her youthful appearance, which may be incongruous with some of the characters she is cast to portray. This issue is likely to persist for the next two to three years, considering her actual age of 16. Ms. Asif frequently encounters offers for roles in which her character enters into marriage and engages in familial disputes. While she acknowledges that such scenarios are prevalent in the industry, she finds her options for character selection to be somewhat restricted. Consequently, she often ends up depicting characters who are 18 years of age or older in various dramatic productions.
This is what she recently shared in an interview:
Parwarish – Another Hit
Aina Asif and Samar Jafri have become fan favorites since their performance in Mayi Ri. The young stars have reunited in Parwarish, a drama that is not only suitable for their age but also resonates realistically with the audience. In this project, Aina Asif once again takes on a significant character. She portrays many young women in Pakistan who refuse to succumb to family pressure and instead fight for their dreams and rights. This reunion is a double treat for fans of Mayi Ri, as Samar stars as the male lead in the show. Parwarish adds to Aina Asif’s impressive filmography, and her fans continue to have faith in her choice of scripts.
Aina Asif’s Big Ambitions
Aina Asif has arrived, and she plans to keep doing dramas. She has successfully transitioned from supporting characters to lead roles, and she wishes to keep doing this going forward. But this is not where she wants to stop. She has always put emphasis on her studies, and she will continue to do that. Her big ambition is to go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. This is a dream that she will realize as soon as she is of the age.
Making The Right Choices
Aina Asif became a superstar at a very young age. Managing fame can be challenging for someone so young. However, she has remained grounded throughout her journey, thanks to the support of her family. Aina is dedicated to both her work and her studies. These wise choices have contributed to her becoming a top star at such an early age.
Aina Asif is a rising superstar, and her ascent continues to impress. She is making strategic script choices, selecting strong roles, and continuously honing her craft. Keep an eye on her—she is destined for greatness!
Kya Drama Hai is a popular TV review show that airs on 24 News HD, featuring senior actors as critics and co-hosts. The show’s panel of judges keeps changing. This week, Shamoon Abbasi and Nadia Afgan replaced Nadia Khan and Atiqa Odho. Mukarram Kaleem and the judges reviewed Geo TV’s hit drama serial Dayan this Monday.
In the uncut version of Dayan, Nadia Afgan mocked the overly dramatic situations in the show. She said, “I watched it, and it gave me strong Khoon Bhari Maang, Bollywoodish vibes. It was completely over the top. The way they made it was overly dramatic—just like Khoon Bhari Maang. I didn’t like Nihal’s room without curtains. Things should be logical. Everything was exaggerated. The grave scene was quite over animated. I haven’t seen anything this larger than life. And the way Hira was dancing with the kid was quite funny. I mean she was throwing him here and there, and then Mehwish Hayat taking a rickshaw. It was all quite entertaining for me. I didn’t feel bored. I also enjoyed Sohail Sameer’s acting.” Here is what Nadia Afgan said:
Most of the fans are agreeing with Nadia Afgan saying that Geo TV’s dramas are quite over the top and are more like Star Plus dramas. Many loved Nadia Afgan’s presence in the show. One fan wrote, “It’s good to see Nadia Afgan in the absence of Nadia Khan”. However, a few are of the view that Kya Drama Hai show has chosen a pattern of mocking the popular show and they also don’t rate the lead actors. A fan wrote , “Mehwish Hayat was brilliant in the last episode but you didn’t rate her performance, it’s unbelievable”. Read the mixed comments here:
Sardar Latif Khosa is a senior Pakistani politician and lawyer who was associated with Benazir Bhutto’s party, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), from 1970 to 2023. Currently, he is a sitting Member of the National Assembly (MNA) and an important leader of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI). Latif Khosa also served as the 35th Governor of Punjab from 13 January 2011 to 2 January 2013.
Latif Khosa recently appeared on Wasi Shah’s show Zabardast with Wasi Shah, where he opened up about the tragic demise of his young son.
While speaking about the incident, Sardar Latif Khosa said, “The most painful moment for me was when I lost my young son, he was just 16 and studying at Aitchison College. He was in 9th grade. He passed away in an accident. We always used to send a driver with him, but that day, he gave 500 rupees to the driver and took the car himself. He met with a tragic accident and was put on a ventilator. He remained on the ventilator for 17 days, but according to the doctors, he was brain-dead. They said we were only prolonging his pain. The day Bhutto passed away, he also left this world. After that, nothing was the same. We left that house. The car was completely smashed, but we never thought about the material loss — I had lost my competent son. It was painful to absorb this loss but life has to go on. And I have moved on.”
Dayan is a drama that has finally reached a big twist. The show marks Mehwish Hayat’s comeback on television. It is dramatic and has a lot of Star Plus vibes but the audience is loving the dramatic side of it. Ahsan Khan plays the leading man Zawar Shah in the show and he is the one who became a catalyst for all the wrong things coming to Nihaal aka Mehwish Hayat’s way.
Ahsan Khan is among the leading actors of Pakistan. He has been ruling the drama industry for three decades now and he still has that star power to attract everyone. He was asked in an interview with Urdu Point about how much he charges for a drama and his salary for his show Dayan. The star started off by saying that he definitely charges in millions.
He revealed that the pay package can differ from project to project. It depends on how many days does an actor give for a drama, how many episodes will air and so on.
Ahsan Khan shared that sometimes a project goes for 50-60 days. Dayan has a large number of episodes so he committed around 80 days. He received 1 crore rupees for the show. So this was his fee for doing Dayan.
Shagufta Ejaz is a senior actress of Pakistani drama industry. She is beautiful, charming, talented and she has a way of attracting the audience towards her projects. She has recently gone through a huge heart break as she lost her beloved husband Yahya Siddiqui to cancer. He went through a long battle and he remained steadfast throughout. He recently passed away and Shagufta is now slowly and gradually coming back towards her routine.
Shagufta Ejaz is also looking very different recently with her dramatic weight loss. She lost a lot of weight after losing her husband. She debuted new pictures from a set where she is shining in a beautiful red saari. She looks gorgeous and even younger than she is. Here are some pictures in her new look:
Shagufta Ejaz shared a powerful caption with the pictures. She wrote: “If my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.”
Some on the internet are praising how graceful Shagufta Ejaz looks after weight loss. One said, “You look gorgeous.” Another added, “Great transformation.” Here is how they reacted:
A large number of people think that Shagufta looks older after losing so much weight. A user said, “This much smartness is not suiting you.” Another added, “You look older now. You looked younger with fuller cheeks.” This is what the internet thinks:
As usual there was a barrage of trolls who criticized her for wearing red after her husband’s death. One wrote, “You should wear a white saari after your husband’s death.” Another added, “Women break down when their husbands pass away and these actresses get busy in projects.”:
Yasir Hussain is indulging in a war of words with Nadia Khan. Nadia is an actress, host and now reviewer of dramas. She is a part of a show Kya Drama Hai and she reviews all the on-air dramas alongside Marina Khan and Atiqa Odho. She recently spoke about Paradise, a drama starring Iqra Aziz and Shuja Asad. The show is directed by Yasir Hussain and it is airing on Express TV. Nadia did not have nice things to say about the drama and revealed why she thinks Paradise has many problems.
Nadia Khan in the end stated that she was told by a big director from the fraternity that she should not even give 4 marks to a project that is bad. And this is what she should do:
Yasir Hussain is not happy with what Nadia Khan said about his project. He took to Instagram and said that he will give only 1.5 marks to her whole acting career and 2.5 marks to her hosting. He added that she has turned into Pakistan’s Arnab Goswami these days. He also encouraged fans to stop caring about critics and keep watching Paradise.
This is what he said:
Some people are agreeing with Yasir Hussain. They think that Nadia is not qualified enough to critique dramas. One said, “Why is she giving numbers when her own career is in minus.” One added, “Apne career main konsa teer maar liya.” This is what those who are agreeing shared:
Many did not agree with Yasir Hussain’s remarks. They think Yasir needs to learn to accept criticism. He is not as successful as Nadia Khan in any manner. One said, “Paradise is a flop and you should learn to accept criticism.” One added, “Yasir is a diverse actor but he needs to resect seniors and gracefully take criticism.” A user was of the view, “The biggest achievement of Yasir’s career is his marriage to Iqra.” This is the other side’s point of view:
Faisal Rehman is a superstar of Pakistan. He started working at the age of 14 and appeared in films alongside some of the superstars of his time. His pairing with Babra Sharif was loved by everyone. The actor is also another big name who successfully transitioned towards dramas and he still has a huge fan following ,a fact he established when he appeared in Qarz e Jaan.
Recently, Faisal Rehman shocked everyone with his very sarcastic humour. He was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and he was asked how he maintains himself at his age. To this, Faisal said that yes I am very old. I have even met Quaid e Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah when I was 4. Many could not understand his humour and they were shocked that he is over 77 years old.
This is what he said:
The statement went viral and then it was when fans dug out that the star was joking and he was born in 1966. He is still young. The viral statement came under debate once again on Waseem Badami’s show. He reiterated that he met Quaid e Azam when he was 10 years old. Waseem Badami said that this would make Faisal at least 88 years old. A comedian on the show then said “Itni lambi kabhi maine bhi nahin phenki.” And Faisal Rehman laughed at it.
Check out the hilarious calculation of Faisal Rehman’s age:
Saba Faisal is one of the biggest stars of Pakistan. She is a part of nearly all the big scripts that are made in the drama industry and she has given some of the most iconic mother characters in dramas. She is also very active on social media and her whole family is seen with her on her Instagram account. She was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and made some interesting statements.
Saba Faisal spoke about the increasing divorce rates in Pakistan. We have recently seen many marriages breaking up in showbiz and the trend is over all similar in society. She had an interesting take on it. Saba Faisal said that divorces are increasing nowadays as women of today have started competing with their men. She added that men have a certain place in the world and Allah has given them that space. There is no competition possible between men and women as men are naturally superior. Thus when competition comes in, the relationship derails. She also said that a balance should be maintained from both sides in a marriage.
This is what she said:
Saba Faisal also appreciated her social media fans. The actress said that she has always been active and consistent about posting on social media. She only receives love and she has never gotten hate on Instagram. The only time people criticized her was when she made a mistake with posting her fight with daughter in law. She also posts a lot as she lives in Karachi for work and her family is in Lahore. She therefore has a good time with her social media following.

His fans also admire Rajab Butt’s family, including his parents, friends, sister, and his wife Emaan Rajab.
Lately, the vlogger was facing criticism for disrespecting or ignoring his wife in front of the camera.
Rajab Butt recently replied to the criticism from fans, saying, “There is a misunderstanding regarding me and Emaan. Many of our fans are concerned about our relationship. Social media has already ruined many relationships. I won’t let it happen with me. Emaan is a sensitive person, she has no idea of how social media works. There are accusations on me that I mistreat or avoid my wife Emaan. Yes, I do ignore her in front of the camera because she is not my wife on camera. She’s my real wife, and she is not feeling well nowadays. There is an announcement that she will not appear in my vlogs because she is sick. Also, she can’t act on camera, she can’t express because of her physical health. Otherwise, I fulfill all my duties as a husband. It’s been 5 months since our marriage, so till the time doctors allow her, she won’t be in vlogs. Whatever I have belongs to my wife, mother, and sister.” Here is the link to the video:
Rajab Butt’s clarification also ignited severe public backlash. A fan wrote, “Money isn’t everything; women need time.” Another wrote, “Men think that fulfilling financial needs is enough.” A social media user said, “I think he has refused Emaan to appear on the vlog.” Another stated, “Emaan won’t come because she gives real expressions as per the situation.” One wrote, “These aren’t accusations; this is the reality — you ignore your wife.” Another said, “Why do you do such actions which need justification?” A few fans also speculated about Emaan’s pregnancy.

Talking about it, Furqan Qureshi said, “Yes, there is a trend of secretly removing or cutting actors from projects. For example, snatching doesn’t happen to everyone, but it does exist. Likewise, such things or politics do exist in the industry. I think it’s wrong — it should not be done because it always happens due to the personal grudges of actors with each other, which is wrong. It should not be done in a professional environment.”
Subhan Awan also added, “It does happen, but if someone ever had removed me from a project, I don’t have any idea of it. I don’t mind if anyone had done it, because I believe everything that happens is by Allah. Allah has written your fortune, so no one can snatch work from you.”

India vs Pakistan war scenario was the point of global debate for the last ten days. The two nuclear powers nearly came on the verge of a war and things were finally settled as Donald Trump jumped into it. Since the PAF invasion of India and how they were able to cause massive damage to Indian military facilities, the Modi government is using childish tactics to prove to Indians that they have done a great job. The latest one came with the arrest of their own Indian citizens on espionage charges.
The Indian police have resorted to weird tactics as they arrested six of their own influencers on espionage charges. These six influencers including Vlogger Jyoti Malhotra were accused of passing sensitive information to the Pakistani intelligence agencies. They even released a photo of the YouTuber after her arrest.
Pakistanis are now trolling India for being too obsessed with Pakistan. The way they are now arresting their own citizens is simply ridiculous. Pakistanis are also asking relevant questions about this and they are not scared to say what many Indians think but cannot express themselves in their country.
Pakistanis are trolling India on their obsession. One said, “At least now they have stopped arresting our pigeons.’ Another added, “They are obsessed with Pakistan. This is not an episode of Crime Patrol.” One user said, “In the end they will arrest half of India.” This is what how they were trolled:

The multi-talented and handsome Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is currently facing backlash for maintaining a neutral stance on the recent Pakistan-India conflict. Fans have expressed disappointment, believing that a figure of his influence should take a firmer stand in support of his country. Many believe that Fawad often appears more inclined towards India and consistently chooses India over Pakistan. Although the Pakistan-India conflict has ended, the actor is still being scrutinized.
Lately, Fawad Khan and his friends were spotted at theatre in Lahore where they watched Yasir Hussain’s play Monkey Business. The Monkey Business official Instagram page has shared Fawad Khan’s video in which he said, “It feels so good to be back in theatre and seeing work like Monkey Business. I think you all should come and watch it especially the work by Yasir Hussain is amazing”. Vasay Chaudhary and Bilal Lashari also praised Yasir Hussain. Here is the link to the video:
Fawad Khan’s picture with Yasir Hussain and his video supporting Monkey Business are receiving severe public backlash. One fan wrote, ‘Fawad Khan is now trying to mingle with Pakistani actors because he is banned from India.’ Another commented, ‘I was about to like your post, but then I saw Fawad Khan in the picture—now I won’t.’ Someone else said, ‘I’ve started developing a slight dislike for Fawad Khan.’ Another remarked, ‘Fawad Khan wants to re-enter the Pakistani entertainment industry. Welcome back.’ Read the comments:
Humayoun Ashraf is a handsome and versatile Pakistani television and film actor who has gained a huge fame over the years after his back to back hit dramas including Khuda Aur Muhabbat, Rang Mahal, Mere Damad, Intiqam, Sultanat, Ehsan Faramosh, Abh dekh Khuda kia kerta hey, Ik Tamana La Hasil Si, and Mushkil. Lately, Humayoun Ashraf is getting huge public and critical acclaim for his acting in Naqaab and Ilzam e Ishq.
The actor recently appeared in Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show where he talked about why he is still not thinking about getting married.
Talking about it, Humayoun Ashraf said, “It is a beautiful relationship which deserves certain protocols. Why would I get married secretly. When I will get married it will be an open affair. Also, I am not getting married because I don’t feel like doing it“.
He further added, “I think standards are higher now, and people who remain single for a longer period of time often find it difficult to adjust after marriage. You also learn from other people’s experiences. These days, it’s hard to live with a partner who is not willing to compromise. For example, expectations from life partners can be quite high, and they may complain about your changed behavior—like saying, ‘You weren’t like this before.’ This happens because the person doesn’t actually change after marriage; rather, he was acting differently before marriage. For instance, he might compliment her by saying, ‘You look beautiful,’ before marriage, but stop doing so afterward—because he was using those compliments as a strategy to make her happy. The real problem is that we don’t think practically. No relationship can work without being practical. You can’t change a person.”
Asif Raza Mir is a veteran Pakistani actor and a producer who is known for multiple hit projects including Tanhayan, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, Muqabil, Meem Se Mohabbat and others. Fans recently praised his positive character in the hit Hum TV drama serial Meem Se Mohabbat. The actor is married and both his sons Ahad Raza Mir and Adnan Raza Mir are renowned actors.
Lately, he appeared in Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show where he talked about Ahad Raza Mir’s acting skills, passion for acting and working strategy.
Talking about his acting, Asif Raza Mir said, “He is a great actor. It’s not only me who is saying this but everyone in the business and outside the business approve of his acting. And you have seen how much people appreciate his work. He is quite passionate about acting; he has been an actor since his childhood. Acting is very important for him in life and he is very dedicated to it, which is good.”
He further added, “I would not say that his work is the same as my work because earlier years of my career were different than his. I’m not a trained actor, I worked on my skills over the period of time. On the other hand, Ahad is a trained actor. We are different, we even shared a difference of opinion on the set. He has his own style and I think I have my own style. At this time, the demand of acting is different. There is always a difference in working environment nationally and internationally. The expectations in the western industry with actors are quite different than in Pakistan. They expect actors to be super professional.” Here is the link to the video:
He further said, “Ahad needs to think that he should work frequently. He needs to understand that in our profession actors have less time. An actor can’t afford to take a gap of one or two years because audience will forget. If one project goes hit, you should do another as it has chances to be hit. I also understand his perspective that I don’t want to do projects just to be on air. Which I agree”
Javed Akhtar is a veteran Indian writer and poet who frequently makes headlines for spreading hate against Pakistan. Multiple Pakistani artists have often called out the actor’s hypocrisy. According to many, he enjoys generous hospitality in Pakistan but makes anti-Pakistan statements upon returning to India.
Recently, Javed Akhtar has once again come under the spotlight for yet another hateful remark against Pakistan. Speaking at a press conference on the ABP channel, he said, “I receive a lot of appreciation, but along with that, I am abused by extremists from both sides—India and Pakistan. I would be surprised if I didn’t receive any hate, because that would mean I’m doing something wrong. So let it be. People from Pakistan say I will go to hell, while people in India call me a Jihadi, accuse me of favouring Pakistan, and often tell me to ‘go to Pakistan.’ So, if I had to choose between Pakistan and Hell, I would choose Hell.” Here is the link to the video:
Javed Akhtar’s statement is receiving severe public backlash in Pakistan. Pakistani celebrities like Mishi Khan, Imran Abbas, Zhalay and Sharmila Faruqui have also called out the actor.
Mishi Khan said, “You have chosen the best place for yourself because that’s what you deserve. And yes, never ever dare to come to Pakistan. No one will invite you. Also, don’t forget to take those with you who were sitting at your feet—take them along and enjoy. Just don’t come back.”
Actor Imran Abbas said, “If he doesn’t opt for Hell, he will still end up on the same flight, but likely in the lower economy class. We only granted him Business/First status; otherwise, he didn’t merit any other class.”
Many Pakistani actors have responded to Javed Akhtar:
Pakistanis are also trolling the actor online. One social media user wrote, “He doesn’t know that he’s already in hell (India), but he won’t admit it.” Another commented, “He means to say he’s a confirmed Jahannumi.” A third user wrote, “Even Hell would be scared of a hateful person like Javed Akhtar.” Another said, “Quaid-e-Azam was right—Indian Muslims will spend their entire lives trying to prove their loyalty to India.” Sharmila Faruqui, Zhalay Sarhadi, and many others also slammed Javed Akhtar for his venomous statement against Pakistan.

Pervez Musharraf was a very popular Pakistani general and politician who served as the tenth president of Pakistan from 2001 to 2008. Before entering politics, he was a four-star general and Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff. He was the leading war strategist in the Kargil infiltration that brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war in 1999. Pervez Musharraf married Sehba Musharraf and was a proud father of two talented children, Bilal Musharraf and Ayla Musharraf, who are quite successful in their respective fields.
Bilal Musharraf is an IT expert who recently appeared on Nadir Ali’s podcast, where he talked about his relationship with his father and his father’s last days.
Talking about it, Bilal Musharraf said, “Sometimes, a father and son share a tough relationship, and you end up criticizing each other for their best interests. Especially among us, the Urdu-speaking community, we tend to treat each other harshly in order to correct each other. So! I was very harsh with my father. I felt it was my responsibility to point out the criticism or hearsay about him, whether it was happening to him or because of him. I remember saying him, during his last days, ‘I have been very harsh with you, so I seek forgiveness for my attitude with you.” To which, he responded, “It’s okay, don’t worry — forget about it.” Although I knew he used to feel hurt because of my behavior, he forgave me — and I have deep respect for my father.” Here is the link to the video:
