Pakistan has always been known to have versatile pop-singers who have contributed a great deal in the music industry but when it comes to Playback singing and classical numbers, the field had remained sparse for a very long time. In times when bands like Junoon. Strings and Awaaz received fame for their rock and pop, Ahmed Jehanzeb worked differently. Ahmed Jehanzeb Jehanzeb started his singing career when he was only 8 years old and that brought him a lot of fame.
Jahanzeb is one of the rare singers of the country, who have been skilled in classical music. Jahanzeb was trained under the guidance of Ustad Rais Khan, who made him his shagird in a ceremony called Rasm-e-Gandha Bandhi held at the Sheraton Hotel in 1988.
Here are his old childhood pictures that have brought a lot of memories of the old time.
On Wednesday the Supreme Court of Pakistan took notice of “objectionable content” being shared on YouTube. The top court also hinted at shutting down YouTube in Pakistan and issued notices to the Attorney General of Pakistan and the Foreign Ministry.
It was during the hearing of a case against suspect Shaukat Ali, involved in a sectarian crime that Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin and Justice Mushir Alam stated that YouTube and social media users were targeting our their families after certain decisions by the court. It was also said that masses were provoked against judiciary and other state institutions of the country through objectionable content on YouTube.
Alright the court hinted at a Youtube ban and the hearing was adjourned for an indefinite period of time, Pakistanis celebrities came out voicing their concerns regarding an impending ban on the world’s biggest video platform.
Here’s what the Pakistani celebrities have been saying:
#YouTubeban There is a massive industry of content creators, digital makers and entertainers in Pakistan that survive on YouTube. Filter content would be a great idea but Banning YouTube will only create more idleness and negativity amongst the professionals and the public.

#YouTubeban We have already lost too many jobs due to this Pandemic. Lives.. Let's be moderate in this Ban towards YouTube. If downsizing and joblessness continues like this, the next big pandemic could be mental inactivity which will cause further crimes and induce negativity.

Really? Banning YouTube?? What next – Twitter, insta,FB, Netflix or even WhatsApp? Freedom of speech is the basic tenet of any society. In Pakistan, social media provides checks & balances that mainstream doesn’t. Progressive states shouldn’t need to resort to bans!! #YouTubeban
YouTube ban in 2012 proved disastrous for the industry & is partly responsible of y we dont have local offices of Google,Facebook,Twitter etc. SC point was about regulation.With rules under PECA already being discussed with tech companies, there is NO question about #YouTubeban

Im against banning apps/websites.This is not the solution as every social media web has its down side,even on twitter ppl abuse! We need better cyber laws to restrict objectionable content & counter bullying. Banning apps will never let us grow in the digital world. #YouTubeban
Countries ban apps cause of geopolitical/security reasons but we are banning apps/sites because of ‘bad influence’ on youngsters.Seriously?urge parents &everyone to check what their kids/ownself is typing &fix the influence.Govt only needs to make& implement cyberlaws #youtubeban
Syra Shahroz and Shahroz Sabzwari share a beautiful daughter Nooreh and even after their divorce, the two make sure to keep their daughter away from all the negativity.
The best thing is that even after his second marriage, Shahroz has celebrated the major milestones in his daughter’s life.
This time Syra and Shahroz made sure to celebrate Nooreh’s 6th birthday, albeit separately but valuing Nooreh’s happiness the most.
“And just like that you turned six! In you I see pure love. The purest I have ever known,” wrote Syra on her Instagram.
On the other hand, daddy Shahroz celebrated Nooreh’s birthday with a unicorn themed cake.
Its great of Syra and Shahroz to celebrate their daughter’s happiness, even if not together. At least Nooreh has two happy parents and two happy homes, if not one.
Yesterday the video of a boy named Arsalan badly beating and abusing her mother broke the internet.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6ozZ4nbOk/
Whole nation went deranged over this video. People can’t believe that a son can do this with his own mother. No matter what our parents do, our religion and our society taught us to respect them. It is completely unacceptable to behave like this with your mother.
Arsalan’s mother, sister and wife all shared videos. Story from both sides was shared, but we still believe that whatever the situation was, beating your mother is intolerable.
Arsalan’s been arrested by the police after strict orders from CM Usman Buzdaar for this hideous act.
Here we have the confession video if Arsalan in which he has confessed that he thrashed his mother, which is obvious from the video. Arsalan said:
“I am Muhammad Arsalan, I misbehaved with my mother”
” I couldn’t do anything else because she started beating my wife, because of which the situation was tensed, I got pressurized and with proper planning I were made to do that”
In the end he said that he seeks forgiveness from Allah, his mother and from mothers of the whole world.
Aftre ban on the most famous and addictive game PUBG and application Bigo, Supreme court of Pakistan hinted towards banning YouTube in Pakistan as well.
Justice Qazi Mohammad Amin and Justice Mushir Alam were on the bench today. According to judges YouTube contains content against government, armed forced and judiciary.
Justice Amin passed his remarks: “We are not against freedom of expression and masses have right to discuss our performance ans decisions as we take salaries from public money but the constitution also provides us right of personal life but users of social media and YouTube are targeting out families”
“Masses are being provoked against country’s army, government and the judiciary”
After SC’s orders PTA issued notices to the social media company under the law to moderate the socialization and content within legal and moral limits in accordance with the law of the country.
Justice Mushir Alam said the no content against United States and Europe can also be shared on YouTube.
It is not the first time that issue of banning YouTube in country is raised. In 2008 PTA banned YouTube in Pakistan because of a number on non-Islamic objectionable videos on it. After a few days ban was removed because the website removed the content on demand of Government of Pakistan. In 2010 PTA imposed ban on YouTube and many other websites in a bid to contain blasphemous material. The ban was removed after a few days as the website removed objectionable content. In 2012 YouTube was banned again in Pakistan for not removing an anti-Islamic film made in United States. This time YouTube remained banned in Pakistan for years. n 2016 after 4 years the ban was finally lifted as YouTube launched its the local version for Pakistan.

Despicable and disgusting. How can one even think of raising their hands and calling their mother names?? Appalled and sick to the stomachs he needs to be in prison! #Shamefulhttps://t.co/Uw40xwuREV
A SON BEATING UP HIS OWN MOTHER?? I don’t care what the reason must be. Ethically, morally or RELIGIOUSLY this is wrong on SO MANY LEVELS – I want to know what are the laws against such a crime nd make an appeal to the concerned authorities to pls take IMMEDIATE action!
just saw a video on social media of a man hitting his mother while his wife cheers him on. I hope there is a special place in hell for people like that. A man who can raise his hand against his mother is the scum of the earth.
In tears after watching this. This makes me want to fly 2 London & hug my mom. How can anyone do this? THIS needs to be made viral, he needs to be put to shame. Disgusting. I’m so sorry to aunty, sorry Allah gave you such a filthy monster for a son. https://t.co/54fjqNFv7a
It hurts to see such inhuman acts! 💔 I feel terrible right now! How can someone be this cruel and heartless!😣 This is a humble request to all our higher authorities to please take an immediate action on this matter and provide justice to the victims! #zoobiameer
Ya Allah… I don't have words… At all…cant post tht video.. deleted it… Oh my God…deepest corner of hell awaits this demon who raised his hands on his old mother… DEEPEST MOST ROTTEN CORNER OF HELL #zoobiameer
Most of the Pakistani dramas revolve around women. Unfortunately, most of the time these women are presented as weak characters who are most often subjugated. There are other dramas that show how a lively young girl turns into a helpless creature once she gets married or is overpowered by her circumstances. There are only a handful of recent Pakistani dramas that have shown women as strong individuals. While the subjugation of women is a reality in Pakistan, there are also so many such women who are fighting against injustices and winning. There are also those who have a strong support system and therefore these girls grow up to be strong individuals.
It won’t be wrong to say that Pakistani dramas thrive on presenting women as the weak ones. Although the stories revolve around them, the writers are most often barred from penning down female characters who are too strong because they are afraid the general public might not like them! There however are a few writers who are not afraid of showing women who are independent, in control, intelligent and progressive.
A strong female character is not one which is never presented by difficulties but it is one which when presented with a difficult situation handles it wisely and does not compromise on her values. And obviously strength is a positive trait therefore all those conniving females we watch in our dramas who exert all their energy in putting other people down are definitely not the kind of characters that would be appropriate for this list.
A strong female character is one that is positive and does not compromise on her principals. At the same time, she is not void of feelings and is able to balance her relationships.
Here are some of the most strong and likable female characters from recent dramas.
Washma (Pyar Ke Sadqay)
Washma is not the central character in Pyar Ke Sadqay but she has throughout been one of the best characters in the drama. It is rarely ever that the viewers get to see such characters on screen. Washma is a strong, positive, and intelligent young lady who is wise beyond her years. Her life experiences did not make her bitter but on the contrary, they helped her deal with people in her life according to a given situation. Washma is someone who is always on the right side, she is not afraid to speak her mind and she has some vulnerabilities as well which makes her character easy to relate to and human.
The way Washma has stood by Mahjabeen’s side even though her own brother and mother have turned against her goes to show what a strong character she has. Srha Asghar has brought this character to life by making Washma look like the most feisty and caring woman we have seen in dramas in a long time. The character has been written down perfectly and Srha Asghar has done complete justice to it.
Lalla Rukh (Pyar Ke Sadqay)
Pyar Ke Sadqay might have the most unlikeable female character like Mansoora but it also has another strong and likable female character such as Lalla Rukh. Although this character did not get a lot of screen time, it is safe to say that it has a definite screen presence. Lalla Rukh is an independent, compassionate, gentle, and positive woman who has been more than just a phupo to Washma. She is a mentor, someone who always gives the right advice on whether someone wants to hear it or not. Even though Mansoora got married to the man she loved, she has forgiven and moved on.
Lalla Rukh is one of those few strong females we have seen in our dramas lately who stand up for others more than they do for themselves. We rarely get to watch women like her who live independently and do not need a man to save them. This is the best character played by Sharmeen Khan to date, she also adds more meaning to this character by translating it on screen in such a gentle manner.
Ramsha (Dushman-e-Jaan)
Ramsha is another strong female character who unfortunately did not get a lot of screen time. Although Ramsha’s character died in the first few episodes, the impact she left was lasting. She was shown as an unapologetic, focused, confident, compassionate daughter and sister. Her no-nonsense attitude along with the responsibilities she was doing justice to even though it wasn’t easy given her character the edge it needed. In a few episodes, only Ramsha turned into one of the favorite characters in the drama. We definitely would love to see more such female characters in our dramas.
Dua (Ehd-e-Wafa)
Ehd-e-Wafa had so many progressive and strong female characters. Dua’s journey in the drama started when she was only a student and it ended with her impressive career in the armed forces. Dua’s character had so many strengths. She knew how to balance relationships and when to speak out. When her father passed away, she was the one who took up the difficult task of taking care of her mother without any help. Her reaction when she found out that she was adopted, also showed the strength of her character.
Even as a teenager, Dua was shown as someone who could see where she needed to focus. She did not just grow herself in her career and as a person but she also helped Saad do the same. As a working woman, she was determined and her vulnerabilities made her character even more likable. This was the best character played by Alizeh Shah because throughout her career she has been typecast as a victim.
Ramsha (Ehd-e-Wafa)
Ramsha was another female character that we rarely get to see in Pakistani dramas. She was educated, outspoken, full of confidence, and a go-getter. She represented all those Pakistani women who are just as capable of playing an active role in media as men. Just like all the other strong female characters in this list, Ramsha was also a woman with a definite purpose in her mind.
There was a sensitive side to her but she was always practical and candid unlike some of the other females in the list. Hajra Yamin was extremely convincing in this role, she made this character much more pleasing to watch on screen.
Faryal (Ehd-e-Wafa)
Saad’s mother Faryal was another progressive and strong female character. She was shown as a working woman who was also a wise mother. She helped out people in need at her clinic and outside her clinic, she was a wonderful human being. She accepted Dua as her own daughter and when Saad left for his mission, she held on to hope and positivity.
She was an ex-army man’s wife and she knew what was at stake when she got her son enrolled in the army. She was such a strong woman that there were so many times when her son also derived strength from her. Vaneeza Ahmed was the perfect choice for playing the role.
Momina (Alif)
Momina from Alif did not have a perfect life, there were so many hardships that were faced by her yet she fought with everything bravely right till the end. Momina had her weak moment, she also had her vulnerabilities but she never lost sight of what she needed to achieve in life. She was shown as a young girl with great strength of character, someone who did so much for her family, and in the end, too she made decisions that were meant for the betterment of the people she loved and not herself.
Momina’s entire journey was inspiring in so many ways. It showed how a female character can be strong even against all odds. Sajal Aly portrayed this character and its different shades remarkably well on screen.
Shanzay (Ghalati)
Shanzay was one of the most assertive, sensible, and practical female characters we saw in recent Pakistani dramas. She had so many strengths and for a change, the writer did not hold back while showing a woman questioning every single unacceptable expectation from her. She refused to be a victim and made sure that she showed her mother-in-law the mirror.
Right from the start, Shanzay’s practical side was the most attractive element of her character. She also had a sensitive and caring side to her which is why she did not just fight for herself but also for Zaira in a way. This character sent such a good message to all the girls out there, the writer through this character told the girls not to settle for less! Mehar Bano performed brilliantly throughout. She fit so well in this role.
Hajra (Inkaar)
Inkaar was a drama that was inspired by true events therefore Hajra’s character was the most endearing one on this list. Hajra went through an entire trial after her ex-boyfriend tried to kill her. She had her weak moments and had to bear with so much. With the help of her father and male friend, she managed to get through this difficult time. The scenes covering Hajra’s question-answer session during the trial showed her strength and her vulnerabilities at the same time. Hajra’s entire journey was covered so well and it was shown convincingly how she develops into such a strong individual.
Yumna Zaidi’s exceptional performance definitely added to the appeal and impact Hajra’s character had. We rarely see girls from such households on television showing this kind of strength.
Noori (Ranjha Ranjha Kardi)
Noori was one of the most layered strong female characters we have seen in Pakistani dramas. There are few writers who are comfortable with creating such realistic character which is strong but are not free of flaws. Noori was always strong even when she was just a girl who picked trash for a living, even then she had certain dreams and ambitions. She never wanted to get married to a rich man, she wanted to get an education and earn her own living.
Noori went through some really difficult times as the story progressed and even though she had some of the weakest moments, Noori always was strong enough to face everything that came her way.
It is definitely delightful when our writers show females as strong individuals who do not always rely on men and are not victims. We love watching such independent and self-reliant women in dramas. Feel free to add more names to the list.

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Kashf focused on the emotional battles that Kashf was fighting on her own. Although in her family, Kashf is made to feel like she is the decision-maker but the reality is completely different. This is something that Kashf herself knows but because she feels so strongly for her family members, she finds it hard to not share her fears & inhibitions with them. The story of Kashf may seem one-dimensional but at this stage, it has been established that it is more about the shifts in behavioral patterns of the people Kashf is surrounded with, which is what makes it a very interesting watch.
Kashf’s Emotional Struggles
Kashf found herself in an awkward situation when she foresaw what might happen with both Irum & Ashi. Kashf also has seen that Matiullah will try his best to harm Imtiyaz’s family & their business. However, because the lady who was sent by Matiullah got exposed, Kashf & in fact, nobody else is ever going to imagine that eventually, everything that Ashi & Irum will face will be a revenge plan devised by Matiullah.
The highlight of this episode for me was how Kashf figured everything out on her own. She also started second-guessing herself because she too believed that maybe not all of her dreams materialize but she was made to realize that although there was a possibility of that happening, she should focus more on the fact that the dreams she sees do end up turning into a reality. This was enough for Kashf to take a stand to save her sister from ruining her life but then again, at this point, Kashf is merely a provider for them & nothing else.
It is unfortunate that nothing that Kashf says or does has any effect on her parents or sisters because, for the first time in their lives, they all are at this stage where they are thinking independently about themselves. This also goes to show that the financial ease also creates an emotional divide & a gap between the close-knit families, because they move past the stage where they all are in the same boat & share the same struggles. Ever since Kashf’s family has started seeing the financial ease, they have turned a blind eye towards her. This too is something that Kashf has foreseen but the way the writer has developed the story & has brought it to this stage is commendable.
In these episodes, it was also elaborated how Kashf’s family was now only concerned about what she could do for them financially because even when she shared her dreams & her concerns related to Irum’s future, none of her family members paid heed to it. It is ironic because her father makes money on this particular ability of hers but when it comes to their own personal matters, her dreams hold no weightage. Dilshad too has become aloof to Kashf’s feelings. It was interesting to note that Dilshad did show her concerns to Kashf & made her feel that she was going to be there for her but eventually, their conversation again became related to all the demands Dilshad expected Kashf to fulfill. I must say, props to the writer & the director for keeping it very subtle but even than painting the picture with clarity of how the attitudes have completely changed.
To be honest, I did not expect Ashi to do something like this – inviting Aqmal into her room behind her family’s back. Ashi has a right to choose her life partner & she has a compatibility with Aqmal but this was a bit unlike her to behave with such immaturiy. However, this goes to show how desperate she is that she has stopped thinking about right & wrong & just wants to show Aqmal that she is more than willing to get married to him. Ashi & Irum are pretty much living in the bubble but in contrast, Kashf is feeling anxious because she can sense something is not right.
Another dream, another reality – Fayyaz passed away & Kashf had already told Wajdan about it. Although it was a tragic incident for their entire family, it was still an eye-opener for Kashf to know that she should have faith in her dreams, therefore she should at least do something to prevent her sister’s life from getting ruined. It didn’t surprise me much when I saw the changed attitude of Irum, she was the one who used to feel a lot for Kashf but then again, she is in love, she is immature & therefore, she won’t believe Kashf till she will eventually face the reality that she was warned about.
Hira Mani should be extremely proud of herself for doing justice to a character like Kashf. Each & every emotion has been portrayed with such clarity that you can’t help feel for her. Kashf is all alone & it is unfortunate that there’s no one who is ever going to understand what she feels. Although she does have Wajdan but he too will succumb to the pressures. It’s not just the battles that Kashf has to fight related to the personal affairs of her family members, she is now being made to do things that she does not agree with, such as handing over taweez – this is something that is taking her inner-peace away from her. The way Kashf asked that woman to pray for her forgiveness was enough to show how guilty she felt for doing something she knew was wrong but then again, she knew it was going to bring in the money her family is in need of. After seeing all this, I wonder if her family will ever understand or realize how much Kashf has done for them? What she went through to feed their desires? I would love to see that & I hope the writer makes that aspect of the story worthwhile, but at this stage seeing her do all the heavy lifting is saddening.
Brilliantly Executed
The story of Kashf continues to impress & it keeps on getting better. The overall tracks & progress have been tackled brilliantly but what I actually enjoyed a lot more was seeing minute details which shed a light on how things have changed in Kashf’s household – gold earrings of Dilshad, her new and improved clothing, the change in their meals, the way Kashf ate her food which showed that because her father made her sit in Asthana for long hours, she became quite hungry. Subtle expressions of Wajdan noticing how Zoya was trying to impress his parents by going out of the way, these minute details add a lot more depth in every situation which makes every scene interesting enough to keep you hooked to it. It also shows the skillfulness of Danish Nawaz as a director who has paid so much attention to detail.
Hira Mani definitely has been carrying this entire drama on her shoulders & all the actors who are playing supporting characters too have contributed a lot in making it a complete package. I really enjoy Dadi’s scenes, it is actually cute that her character has been used to bring some comic relief in an otherwise very intense & grim drama. Kashf is a complete package & I can not wait to see what’s in store for us. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Kashf.
There is absolutely no denying the fact that Hina and Aagha Ali make a very cute couple. The duo got married back in March and ever since then, their sweet and sour relationship has always made their fans smile.
Now since following his wife’s footsteps Aagha Ali has too started Vlogging, we’re loving how the singer cum actor keeps making his videos fun to engage his audience.
In his latest vlog, Aagha Ali shared their tired routine of shifting to a new house and packing up things together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pE-FM7UfMQ
What we really liked about the video was the fact that Aagha appreciated his househelp and also raised awareness about wearing a mask since the threat of coronavirus still exists very much in the society.
Hina was seen helping Aagha around the house packing stuff up for the move.
Now since we know the duo will be shifting to a new house, we cannot wait to see them together bringing life and sunshine into their new home.

I didn’t say I love you or anything, I just directly said I want to do a nikkah with you, marry you, tell me how it can happen,” added Falak further revealing that he had to fly to Lahore to Sarah’s house to meet her father.
Falak also shared that he would always support Sarah in whatever she wanted to do whether in the media or business or anything at all.
“She has no restrictions right now, and neither will she have any after marriage. I believe that we have our elders to guide us and love us, and if they’ve never put restrictions on anyone – who am I to do it? Whatever Sarah wants, I am always with her,” said the singer.

The phrase kabab mein haddi is commonly used by people who speak Urdu. It won’t be wrong to say that it is the most ‘popular’ Urdu phrases. It essentially means that when someone is not wanted yet they insist on being around. It could also refer to someone who does not allow two people who are romantically involved to have quality time together. It is used for fun and also out of frustration! Some people become kabab mei haddi unknowingly and others make a special effort to make sure that they serve this purpose! In Pakistani dramas, these kabab mei haddis are usually the ones who play a key role in ensuring that two people who are in love don’t get their happy ending easily. It is safe to say that most of the Pakistani dramas are incomplete without these characters.
When you are eating a delicious and soft kabab and all of a sudden a haddi (bone) interrupts your enjoyment, what do you do? You throw it out! It definitely ruins the kabab eating experience and there is a fear at the back of your mind that there might be another haddi which would make your kabab eating experience rather annoying! Well therefore a kabab mei haddi in a non-literal sense is always annoying. It is even more so in our dramas because Pakistani dramas sometimes take the haddis more seriously than the kababs! Think of these writers as those cooks who want to consciously feed these haddis to their viewers while they eat the kababs! I am sure you get my message.
There are so many times when you want this haddi to have a downfall or to just disappear so that our beautiful kababs (hero and heroines) can get more happy time together. Unfortunately, in Pakistani dramas that is most often not the case since these haddis are quite hard and not easy to digest for the viewers.
Here are the most annoying kabab mei haddis which we absolutely hate and they have successfully ruined the kabab eating experience for the viewers more than once!
Shanzay (Pyar Ke Sadqay)
Shanzay is the most annoying example of kabab mein haddi who ruined a perfectly workable relationship between two people who loved each other so much. Had she not been in the picture, Abdullah and Mahjabeen could have had a great life together. After her own marriage did not work out, Shanzay decided it would be perfectly fine for her to work her way into Abdullah’s life again. Like many other kabab mein haddis in this list, she also used extreme measures to ensure that Abdullah is convinced. If it wasn’t for her suicide attempt, the viewers could have enjoyed watching Abdullah and Mahjabeen’s relationship grow stronger on screen.
Sarwar (Pyar Ke Sadqay)
Sarwar has to be one of the most evil names in this list. Although all these individuals who play the role of kabab mein haddis are negative, Sarwar takes this negativity to a whole new level! He is the prime reason why Abdullah and Mahjabeen split up. There are so many viewers out there who just don’t like watching his scene and wish he was not in the picture.
Zoya (Kashf)
Zoya is another kabab mein haddi who takes her role really seriously. She is extremely clever and uses all of this chalaki to monitor Wajdan and Kashf who are in love. Zoya has more than once been the reason for creating a rift between the families because she wants to get married to Wajdan. It won’t be wrong to say that as far as kabab mein haddis go, Zoya is the most dheet and shameless of them all!
Sara (Tera Ghum Aur Hum)
Sara’s role as kabab mein haddi has became even more obvious than ever when Mahi insisted that she should go with her and Ali when they were going out on a dinner date. She was left alone on the table when Ali who is the more sensible man in this list decided Sara was indeed a kabab mein haddi! Sara’s ‘supposed’ that Ali loved her and when he declared his love for Mahi, she was not able to get over the shock. Just like all the other kabab mein haddis in this list, Sara’s sole purpose in life now is to destroy Ali and Mahi’s marriage.
Miraal (Sabaat)
Miraal has too many control issues, she could be running a business, enjoying holidays, partying with friends but she has decided to take up the role of kabab mein haddi and break off her brother’s Hassan’s marriage with the love of his life Anaya. Anaya and Hassan make a sweet couple, viewers want to see more of them and they want to see them happy but Miraal so far has been doing whatever it takes to ensure that doesn’t happen. The fact that she set Hassan’s room on fire goes to show she is the most dangerous one on the list! Unlike the other haddis in the list, Miraal has no love interest involves only severe control issues!
Shafaq (Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida)
Out of all the annoying haddis in the list, Shafaq has to be the most sophisticated one! So far it is difficult to understand why a seemingly decent and well-balanced intelligent single woman like her would want to ruin someone’s marriage. She has fallen for Shahaan for some odd reason and now she will buy Ulfat’s husband in the upcoming episodes! Of all the haddis in this list, Shafaq has to be the one who is most difficult to understand.
Natasha (Dil Ruba)
Natasha has the perfect haddi look and she is just as annoying as all the others. The big difference here is that she has actually succeeded in being the ‘legal’ haddi by entering into a nikkah with Sanam’s husband. Khurram and Natasha were always in a relationship but ever since he got married, she has tried harder to pull her away from Sanam. Although Sanam was never in love with Khurram, she did try to make the relationship work. Had it not been for the haddi Natasha, this relationship might have worked out.
Did you notice something? Most of these kabab mein haddis are way more clever and westernized when compared to the ‘kababs’ ;)

Sarah Khan’s Proposal Dress and Makeup Look
Sarah Khan got a grand proposal of her life on her birthday on July 14, 2020. It was amazing how she was dressed perfectly for the night that was going to change her life forever. Sarah Khan wore a gorgeous all red outfit designed by Zainab Salman. It was a beautiful formal dress from the bridal collection of the fashion label and it was right up Sarah’s alley because she is known to carry such gorgeous outfits elegantly.
This all-red dress had a heavily embroidered and embellished full-sleeved flared shirt. The border of the shirt was uneven, which brought a design element to it. The chiffon dupatta too had a cutwork border that followed the design patterns of the shirt. The bottom was a flared skirt. This entire dress accentuated Sarah Khan’s lean figure and looked flattering on her.
For her makeup, Sarah Khan chose her go-to dewy look. Sarah Khan mainly focuses a lot on her face makeup, which is always about a flawless base and a lot of glow. She kept her eye make simple and wore a nude lipstick color. She wore her hair in waves and parted them from the center. Sarah picked a heavily pearled choker as her accessory which went perfectly with her dress. She made the right choice by keeping her accessories to an absolute minimum because she allowed her gorgeous dress to do all the talking.
Sarah Khan’s Mayon Dress and Makeup Look
On her Mayon and Ubtan function, Sarah Khan wore a beautiful bright yellow silk outfit designed by Farah and Fatima. She kept her entire look simple and elegant. This shade of yellow complimented Sarah Khan’s skin tone a lot and she carried it beautifully.
This yellow satin dress had a sleeveless short shirt and flared sharara. Sarah Khan draped the chiffon dupatta in such a way which covered her sleeves because she is one of those few celebrities who do not wear sleeveless outfits. The beauty of this dress was definitely in its dupatta which had splattered sequins all over and they reflected the lights at different angles.
On her Mayon, Sarah Khan bronzed her face a bit and also tight-lined her eyes with kajal. She wore a lot of mascara which made her eye makeup look a lot darker than it actually was. Sarah Khan was definitely a happy bride because of which she was glowing from within but she added a touch of highlighter to accentuate it as well. She slightly contoured the hollows of her cheeks as well as her nose. She wore a beautiful mauve nude shade lipstick and looked gorgeous. On this function as well, Sarah Khan wore her hair and gave them a slight textured wavy look. Simple and elegant!
Sarah Khan’s Mehndi Dress and Makeup Look
Sarah Khan wore a beautiful creation of Nilofer Shahid, from her fashion label Meeras. It was a beautiful orange floral printed dress that had a short shirt and a Patiala shalwar. Sarah Khan looked like an absolute doll this day because she kept her overall look extremely simple and let the dress and jewelry catch the attention.
This beautiful short shirt and shalwar were made out of one fabric. It was definitely a unique as well as a simple choice which brides usually don’t go for but Sarah Khan showed that such simple and timeless dresses can also be worn on Mehndi functions. The shirt and neckline had a thin border. The border on the sleeves and dupatta was a bit thicker and had more color to it.
Sarah Khan tied her hair in a bun and did not wear a lot of makeup, because of which she looked simply stunning. Sarah Khan did have a decent amount of coverage from the foundation on her face. She lightly contoured her cheeks and wore shimmery highlighter on the high points of her face, especially cheekbones. She wore a brown nude lipstick and a bit of mascara and that was all there’s to her mehndi makeup look. Sarah Khan did wear a pearly, semi-precious stoned necklace, which complimented the dress beautifully.
Sarah Khan’s Nikkah Dress and Makeup Look
Sarah Khan once again chose her favorite designer Nilofer Shahid for her bridal dress. She wore a beautiful peachy pink dress and looked ethereal. On her Nikkah, Sarah Khan went for a timeless look while still adding the regal touch to it. The richness of the fabric made this dress stand out a lot more and gave it the royal look that Sarah Khan was after.
Sarah Khan wore a short full-sleeved silk shirt and a lehenga. The shirt had small embellished motifs all over and the lehenga had a thick beautiful border at the bottom which was created with a lot of different embellishment materials. The dupatta was a different shade of peachy pink and had a duo-chrome look to it. The dupatta too had a beautiful border which was similar to the border on her sleeves.
Sarah Khan wore her hair in a bun and went for a side partition which allowed her statement tika and jhumar to stand out a lot more. Sarah Khan went for heavy jewelry with layered thick necklaces that completed her ethnic traditional look.
Sarah Khan’s makeup was all about heavily kohl’ed eyes and flawless skin. She wore a beautiful shade of peachy blush on her cheeks as well as a lot of highlighter to further add more glow to the already glowing bride. She wore a highlighter on her browbone too to bring some definition to the darker eyes. She wore a nude pink lipstick to match the outfit and looked like a timeless beauty.
Sarah Khan’s Mehndi Design
Sarah Khan went for a traditional mehndi design. However, what set her mehndi apart and made it completely different and custom made was the inscription that stated ‘Falak Ki Dulhan’. This was how Sarah Khan announced that her wedding festivities had just begun and it was not going to stop at a proposal only.
Sarah Khan went for a traditional circle in the palm of her hand with filled tips and intricately designed patterns around the circle and beneath her fingertips. However, at the back of her hand, there was a lot more pattern and intricate designing but that too was more or less similar to how her mehndi was inside her hands. It was a beautiful rose surrounded by circular designing at the back of her hand, with her fingers too covered in some bold and some intricate patterns.
Sarah Khan definitely made a beautiful bride. Which look of hers turned out to be your favorite? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.
