Aftab Iqbal is a big name in the Pakistani news industry. He came up with the Pakistani SNL in the form of Hasb e Haal. The show was a big hit but he had a falling out with the team and went on to host other shows like Khabarnaak and Khabardaar. He brought many theatre artists on television and they all made feasible careers. He has been in a lot of controversies over the years and a new one is coming out now.
Anchor Eshal Adnan has now made some serious claims against Aftab Iqbal. She revealed that she was working for Express News when Aftab was also hosting his show on the channel. She got promoted as the other female co-host for Aftab’s show left. She was happy about this but then Aftab Iqbal started harassing and threatening her. He was asking her to do special favours. This was shocking for her and she clearly denied his “requests”. After her denial, Aftab Iqbal said that he will never let her appear on the television screen. Eshal added that Nasir Chiniyoti and Ruby Anam are actors who are witnesses to this situation. She was also dropped from the show.
This is what Eshal Adnan had to say:
Previously, news broke out that Aftab Iqbal’s co-host Mariyam Ali Hussain got married to him. The couple also has two children. They later got divorced and Aftab Iqbal still supports his two sons from that marriage.
Aftab Iqbal has not released any statement on the claims yet!
Amena Khan is a renowned Pakistani model, actor, and director who has been working in the media industry for many years. She has primarily worked as a director and behind the scenes. Her popular TV appearances include Yes Love, Agent X, and several other sitcoms that aired on the private channel NTM in the 1990s. Amena Khan is single and enjoys spending time with her friends. She is now best known for her acclaimed performance in Jama Taqseem, which marked the rebirth of her acting career.
Recently, she appeared on Subh Ka Samaa, hosted by Madeha Naqvi on Samaa TV. During the show, she talked about the overwhelming success of Jama Taqseem and shared her views on current Pakistani dramas.
Talking about her project, Amena Khan said, “I had no idea it would be this successful. I thought it would just be another saas-bahu saga. It was my comeback so I wanted to start from a smaller role that’s why I chose this, but wherever I go, I’m receiving an overwhelming response. It’s doing phenomenally well, everyone is watching it, and it’s so well written. Our team put in great effort, our director Ali Hassan is very hardworking and I’m getting amazing feedback.”
Amena Khan further mentioned that current dramas aren’t performing well and shared how senior PTV writer Haseena Moin used to be upset about the increasing portrayal of violence on television.
She said, “They show 15 marriages, 18 divorces, and thousands of unnecessary slaps on TV — it has become mandatory now. Our senior writer, Haseena Moin, who gave us some of the greatest hits, used to hate the kind of content Pakistani dramas were producing. Imagine — a person who was among the pioneers of television drama ended up hating TV. Yes, we need to highlight social ills, but there should be a responsible way to do it. Television is a powerful tool that can be used for transformation, yet the current content often triggers and escalates social evils. It has all become a game of ratings and sensationalism, but it’s up to the creators to present things subtly and still attract viewers. Where is your craft if you cannot use this medium effectively and responsibly?” Here is the link to the video:

Recently, Mahira Khan made headlines for her changed appearance at the Neelofar promotional event. Fans speculated that Mahira had undergone several cosmetic procedures, including possible lip fillers, an eyebrow lift, and cheek enhancement or Botox.
Mahira Khan has now responded to the eyebrow lift rumors in a recent video. She said, “I have recently come back from Lahore, and I’m hearing that people are saying I have gone through an eyebrow lift. Should I show you my eyebrow-lifting talent?”
She laughed and then lifted her eyebrow exactly as she appeared in her viral videos from the Neelofar promotional event. Here is the link to the video:
In addition to that, she also replied to a mean post about her cosmetic procedures on X (Twitter), which was deleted after her reply. She also admitted that it was a wrong makeup experiment and she has learnt lesson from it. Mahira’s comment read, “Thank you for the love, but why would I do a facelift right now (not that I’m judging anyone who would or has). My makeup artist did some hair-lift things to give a ‘snatched look’ — in two parts. And it wasn’t done right. Anyhow… lesson learnt. Moving on. Lots of love.”
The person who made the rude comment later apologized, writing, “You’re completely right, that was in bad taste. I’m honestly so sorry — I shouldn’t have said that. I’ve loved and admired you for years, especially for the grace with which you carry yourself. Apologies for sounding snarky earlier.” To which Mahira responded warmly, “Noo don’t be silly ♥️” Read the comment below:

Farah Sadia is a senior Pakistani television actress and host who gained fame through her popular PTV appearance in the drama serial Bandhan as the second lead. Following Bandhan’s phenomenal success, Farah Sadia also appeared in PTV’s Muskurahat and Kaffara. She hosted morning shows on ATV and APlus for around fifteen years. Farah Sadia is highly qualified, holding a PhD degree. Recently, she made a comeback in acting with Hum TV’s popular drama serials Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri, Jaffa, and Ishq Di Chashni.
Today, Farah Sadia appeared on Madeha Naqvi’s show Subh ka Samaa, where she discussed her personal life and revealed that her first love occurred after her marriage. She also spoke about trusting men in life and shared her thoughts on what kind of men should be chosen for marriage.
Talking about her first love, she said, “I don’t know what people call love, but I fell in love after marriage. Yes, he used to love me, but I fell in love later after marriage because I believed in the idea of love—it was quite a valuable thing for me. It was enough that someone loved me. I fell in love with my husband. Previously, I had expectations from people; now I have none. I have liberated myself from perpetual misery. I love the transitions in love like I once loved my mother, husband, then my kids, and there will come a time when I will love my daughter in law. Love has no limits; you can love hundreds of people at a time. The concept of girl-boy love is often misunderstood; girls should seek respect over love.”
She further added, “Dr. Sadaqat, a psychiatrist, once came to my show and taught me a great lesson. He told me that if you want to gauge a man’s love, see whether he is willing to spend on you or not. Never trust a man who doesn’t want to spend on you—that’s a no-no. If a man isn’t willing to spend on you, he is not the right choice. And that is exactly what Islam teaches us: men should provide for their women.”

She also shared that she has visited Pakistan and she wants to become Pakistan’s daughter-in-law.

Here is what Mathira had to say about Rakhi cutting her off:
Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi is a drama that has brought a unique horror-comedy genre to the world. The show is being loved for how different the story is and all the stars have performed brilliantly. The drama however caught an unexpected controversy including a big star: Shamoon Abbasi. Shamoon made a revelation regarding the script that took the social media by storm.
Shamoon Abbasi revealed that the drama Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi is his own script. The concept was given by him and he was also supposed to direct it for Hum TV. He shared how he has not been credited for the story, though the script circulating on the sets still has his name on them.
Writer Syed Nabeel has now spoken about Shamoon Abbasi’s claim about Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi. He said that Shamoon is right. The show’s concept was given by him and he is not at all saying that Shamoon was not involved. But he is the writer and he has written the whole script. The flow of the script and story is managed by the writer. He added that Shamoon Abbasi, himself and director Saif e Hassan are all responsible for the success of this drama.
This is what writer Syed Nabeel said about Shamoon Abbasi’s claim:
Haris Waheed is a versatile Pakistani television actor known for his compelling performances in negative roles in various hit drama serials. His critically acclaimed projects are Jaan e Jahan, Tumharey Husn Ke Naam, Sammi, Mohabbat Chordi Maine. Fans are currently praising him in Pamaal. Haris Waheed is currently single, having previously been married to fellow actress Mariyam Fatima; the couple tied the knot in 2018 but later divorced in 2022.
Recently, Haris Waheed appeared in Something Haute’s YouTube show, hosted by Amna Isani. In the show, he revealed why actors marriages don’t last long.
Talking about it, Haris Waheed said, “Relationships are formed and broken for personal reasons; they don’t begin or end because of one’s profession. We have seen people who have been working their entire lives and are still happily settled — the biggest example being Shah Rukh Khan, whose married life is going perfectly well. There are multiple other factors that impact a marriage. People outside the industry also get divorced, so it’s a general phenomenon.”
Speaking about a popular celebrity’s divorce or their new relationship with another partner without announcing the first marriage, he said that people want to know about the personal life of their favourite celebrities but they should not be overly inquisitive about celebrities. They should be content with the information celebrities choose to share and avoid interfering in their personal lives. He further added that endings aren’t always bad — sometimes it’s better to leave.

In Willing Ways Pakistan’s podcast, Mohsin Nawaz exposed Lahore’s dance parties and night life reality.
Talking about it, Mohsin Nawaz said, “Lahore is being used as a symbol here, but these statistics apply to all major cities. In Lahore, Bedian Road and Barki Road are known for their nightlife, where parties are held at farmhouses. Previously, guest houses were known for such activities, but now farmhouses have become popular for these illicit gatherings where boys and girls dance all night to loud music. They also consume “dancing” or “ecstasy” pills that make them feel dizzy. Earlier, these pills were imported from abroad, but now they are manufactured in Pakistan. The pills, which include “ice,” are available in different qualities and cost between Rs. 700 and Rs. 5,000. These pills suppress hunger and give users high energy, allowing youngsters to dance all night. Three types of women usually attend these parties: hostel girls, host ladies, and women who become partners of single men. Whatever I am telling you is based on facts and figures — the tickets for these parties are sold for Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 20,000. Increase of these activities, such as use of drugs, dance parties, is becoming normal in our society which is a wake up call for all of us. Such activities give rise to various other crimes including murders like most recently a young man Ahmed Javed was killed in Lahore in the same kind of night parties. Here is the link to the video:

Social media users are coming up with hilarious comments about Mahira Khan’s look after cosmetic procedures. Many are comparing her with celebrities with Botox and fillers like Dia Mirza, Nora Fatehi, Rakhi Sawant and Ken Doll. One Netizen said, “Mahira Khan & Ken are looking like horrible twins” Another said, “She has got Botox from the wrong injector” Another said that her eyebrow lift and botoxes, all have simultaneously gone wrong.

Here are a few before and after pictures of Mahira Khan:
Khalil ur Rehman Qamar is one of Pakistan’s most celebrated writers, known for his powerful dialogues and intense storytelling. He has written several blockbuster dramas including Pyaray Afzal, Sadqay Tumhare, Bunty I Love You, Laal Ishq, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Main Mar Gai Shaukat Ali and Landa Bazar. His latest drama, Main Manto Nahi Hoon, is currently making waves among viewers. The show is receiving solid viewership and impressive TRPs. While the audience is praising its strong script and performances, critics are divided over its controversial themes.
Khalil-ur-Rehman recently appeared in Next Gen Podcast, where he responded to the criticism on Main Manto Nahi Hoon for showing student teacher romantic story. He also bashed feminists for not shaming women who date married men.
Talking about the criticism on Main Manto Nahi Hoon, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar said, “Did this student-teacher love never happen before? Haven’t students ever married their teachers? There are real-life instances where students have married their married teachers. I have shown an unmarried man — don’t deprive him of his marital rights. He didn’t date the girl; he simply proposed to her when he gathered the courage to do so. You are calling this decency an affair. Affairs are when women date married men. Love rarely happens, and only to a few lucky individuals. You can’t call every affair love — love is all about loyalty.”
Khalil ur Rehman Qamar further bashed the feminist for their selective calling out. Talking about married men involved in affairs, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar said, “Whom are men having affairs with — each other? Have you ever caught those girls who are involved with married men? Have you ever protested against them or written placards against such women? You are only focused on criticizing men; that’s why you can’t see the women. Why do women go after married men? Why can’t they catch married men’s lies? In our times, marrying a working woman was considered a taboo because it was a man’s responsibility to spend on his woman.”
He further added, “You should penalize those characterless women who run after men. Who are they having affairs with? The ones who get pick and drop in a Prado? The women who truly deserve our respect are those who take buses early in the morning to earn a halal living for themselves and their families — such women are our pride. You have been taught that your respect lies in degrading the men of society. Don’t make men a bigger entity.”
Saba Qamar is a highly acclaimed Pakistani television and film actress who is known for her excellent acting performances in hit and intense dramas like Pani Jesa Pyar, Baaghi, Besharam, Cheekh, Digest Writer, Sangat, Fraud, Sar e Raah, Serial Killer, Pagal Khana, and Tumhare Husn Ke Naam. Recently, she has been receiving immense appreciation for her powerful acting in the popular dramas Case No. 9 and Pamaal.
Lately, Saba Qamar made an appearance on Green Entertainment’s podcast The Green Room, hosted by Ahmed Randhawa. In the podcast, Saba expressed her disliking for city Karachi.
During the podcast, while replying to the host’s question, “Are you ready to move to Karachi for work?”, Saba Qamar expressed her discomfort regarding the city and said, “Astaghfirullah, never — but I shouldn’t say this; you never know what the future holds for me. But yes, it’s been years since I’ve moved to Karachi. I just go there, do my work, and come back. I like Islamabad and Lahore. I wouldn’t mind moving to Karachi if someone buys me a house there, although I’ve already built one for myself.”
She further added that she prefers Islamabad or Lahore, perhaps because she loves living in houses rather than apartments. She was also heard whispering, ‘ I don’t like Karachi’ Here is the link to the video.
On another occasion during the podcast, Saba said, “Shift all the projects being shot in Karachi to Islamabad.”
Social media users are deeply upset by Saba Qamar’s degrading remarks about one of the biggest metropolitan cities in the world. One user said, “The lady literally recited Astaghfirullah for Karachi — how cheap she is!” Another wrote, “She comes to Karachi just to earn. Why does she work in Karachi’s dramas then?” A third user stated, “Pendu Punjabi people have an obsession with Karachi,” while another added, “Pendu people look good only in Punjab.” Read the comments here.

Talking about doing romance on the screen, Saba Qamar said, “We aren’t taught about romance from childhood, so we become awkward when we have to perform romantic sequences. Our male actors also get conscious and serious during such scenes. We (female actors) also feel clueless and uncomfortable while performing romance. Life is full of crying, and I’ve been doing it for a lifetime. I do love performing emotional scenes, but now I want to do more romantic roles — I think like doing romance on screen.” Here is the link to the video:
Junaid Jamshed was a renowned Pakistani celebrity who rose to fame through his pop music. Later, he left music and continued his journey as a naat khuwan and Islamic preacher. He was also a very successful businessman. Junaid Jamshed passed away in a tragic plane crash in December 2016, leaving behind his widow, three sons — Taimoor, Babar, and Saifullah — and a daughter.
Recently, his youngest son, Saifullah Junaid Jamshed, appeared in Geo TV’s podcast hosted by Mubashir Hashmi, where he shared fond memories of his father.
When asked about hearing the news of Junaid Jamshed’s plane crash, Saifullah shared, “For the last six to eight months, our father had been telling our mother, ‘Ayesha, you’ll be upset, but I want shahadat (martyrdom).’ It was his constant prayer for months, and it seems Allah granted him what he wished for. We were completely unaware of what had happened at first. People began visiting us, and it didn’t even feel real because we hadn’t seen him ill — he was happy and normal. I still remember him just like that.”
Recalling his father’s last advice, Saifullah said, “What I remember most is his last advice to me. He said, ‘I don’t want anything from you — not good grades, or achievements and success in business — but I want you to rise in Deen.’”
While remembering his father’s sweetest memories, Saifullah said, “There’s an interesting incident about him which my mother shared with mr. Once, when I was a toddler, he showed me a picture from his music time and asked who the person in the photo was. I replied, ‘That’s uncle.’ He was so happy to see that I couldn’t recognize his younger self — he realized I knew him only through his transformation.”
Speaking about their family’s most memorable trip, he said,
“The best memory I have with him is our family’s Hajj journey in 2016 just before his death. We were all together and even stayed in the same room. We had such a fulfilling and beautiful family time with him. I still cherish that as our best time.”

Pakistan Idol is a popular Pakistani musical reality show that recently began airing on Geo TV, Green Entertainment, and PTV Home. Previously, Season 1 of Pakistan Idol premiered on Geo TV on 6 December 2013 and continued until 24 April 2014. The current season is judged by Fawad Khan, Zeb Bangash, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Bilal Maqsood.
The show has stirred quite a bit of controversy, with people questioning the judges’ credibility. Now, renowned Pakistani singer Sajjad Ali has also criticized Pakistan Idol for repeating certain songs during the auditions.
In a press talk, Sajjad Ali said, “You must have noticed that Pakistan Idol has been repeating a few songs, which has made things monotonous. They have obtained copyrights from only a few companies, due to which their song choices are limited. The rights to our songs are not with them. Everyone wants to sing Ravi and other songs that can showcase a singer’s range, but they cannot perform them because of copyright issues. They contacted us, but we couldn’t reach a good deal.”
Social media users are sharing mixed reactions on Sajjad Ali’s mean remarks about Pakistan Idol. One user said, “They should think about Pakistan; they should give the rights.” Another wrote, “Why do we make everything so complicated and hard for the youth? The financial deal couldn’t be finalized.” One user added, “You should not criticize; the platform is giving a chance to youngsters.” Another commented, “It should not be about money; we should think of Pakistan.” A few fans sided with Sajjad Ali, saying he deserves royalty.

In the latest episode, Hamza’s cold behavior towards Alizeh has also drawn criticism from viewers.
Fans aren’t happy with Hamza’s weak character, who, despite his claims of loving Alizeh, is now doubting her. One drama viewer wrote, “I Feel very bad for Alizay. Hamza can’t do this to her… where is his true love?” Another commented, “Don’t ruin Hamza’s character. He was trying to hit Alizeh and she fainted — very heartbreaking.” A viewer stated, “I fully support Alizay’s decision. Hamza is a very weak man, and the people in the house despise Alizay. She is strong enough to care for herself and her unborn child.” Another added, “Finally, Hamza turned out to be just like other men.” One more comment read, “Hamza is such a fool, going to Sikandar and asking straight about the murder.” Read the comments:

Pakistani celebrities are admired for their realistic acting and for portraying characters that resonate with viewers. They have sorted social media personas and are seen portraying a well-orchestrated image. But at times, our stars end up putting their foot in their mouth and making irresponsible and uneducated statements. Polygamy is one such topic where we have seen many stars give the most bizarre takes during interviews.
In Pakistan, according to the law, a man cannot marry for the second time without gaining permission from his first wife. But Islam allows a man to marry four times, and this paradox is a topic for debate and gaining TRPs for channels and podcasts. Lately, Pakistani celebrities have given their takes on polygamy, and they are quite shocking to say the least:
Danish Taimoor
Danish Taimoor is a Pakistani celebrity who is loved by millions. He is currently one of the biggest stars of the drama industry, with all his dramas entering the billion-view club. He is loved for his on-screen persona and also for his marriage to superstar Ayeza Khan. The duo tied the knot over a decade ago and shares two children. Their bond is idolised by many; therefore, Danish Taimoor’s take on polygamy caught fans by surprise.
Danish Taimoor said that it is a man’s right to marry four times. Allah has given him the right. If he, as a man, is not doing that, it is by choice, but he has the right to polygamy. This happened while Ayeza Khan was sitting beside him. The statement caused quite an uproar, and Danish was trending for several weeks:
Saima Qureshi is another Pakistani celebrity who frequently makes headlines with her statements. She has lately given her opinions about extramarital affairs, polygamy, and women’s earnings. She is also a proponent of multiple marriages. The actress said that men should get married again, and this should not be a problem. She added that extramarital affairs have become so common nowadays. Instead of having an affair in the haram, get married in a halal and proper manner.
Hira Soomro
Hira Soomro is another Pakistani celebrity who is a proponent of polygamy. She thinks men can marry more than once, and this should not be a problem. During a podcast, Hira Soomro stated that if a man is physically capable of marriage and can financially support four wives, he should consider marrying four times. She added that she would allow her husband to marry again if he felt like it. As long as a man is financially responsible, polygamy is not a problem. She added that there are men who cannot control themselves, and marrying in a halal way is better than having affairs.
Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi is another Pakistani celebrity who has often been asked if he will marry again. He is a father to five daughters and now a grandfather to two children. The star has always lightly dismissed these questions, but he never forgets to show admiration for his wife, Nadia Afridi. In an old interview, he stated that his marriage was arranged by his parents. At that time, he thought he would marry again if this did not work out. But his wife is a blessing, and he is happy with his life.
Fiza Ali
Fiza Ali is also among Pakistani celebrities who openly expressed their opinion on the topic of four marriages. During a show, she called out men who want to marry four times. She said men are always talking about marrying four times. Islam has permitted men to marry multiple times, but it is not mandatory. Furthermore, this permission was granted to ensure that widows, orphans, and single mothers receive support. However, men often develop new romantic interests and remarry without addressing their previous commitments. If that’s the case, they should consider divorcing their first wife before seeking another partner.
Yasir Hussain
Yasir Hussain is a Pakistani celebrity with the most unique take on four marriages. The actor said that he is a man who fell in love with a girl and then married her. What is the logic behind looking at another woman? He added that in most cases of polygamy, it is the women who are looking for stable men, and they will become second wives for financial stability.
Iqrar Ul Hassan
Iqrar ul Hassan stands out among famous Pakistani celebrities due to his unique situation. He has been married three times and practices polygamy. His two wives, Qurutulain Iqrar and Aroosa Iqrar, even live together. In contrast, his third wife, Farah Iqrar, maintains a distance. Iqrar is often asked about managing his marriages in various interviews. Despite having three wives, he advises other men to marry only once. He notes that people often do not understand the circumstances behind his decisions, implying that his experiences are not common.
Faysal Quraishi, a notable Pakistani celebrity, has shared his views on the topic of four marriages. As a host for Ramadan transmissions and someone who has studied Islamic perspectives, he stated that Islam does not outright prohibit four marriages; rather, it limits them to a maximum of four. He emphasized that this is his personal opinion, noting that Islam places restrictions on men who may wish to marry multiple times. According to him, these guidelines were established to ensure fairness, as a man must provide justice to all his wives, a challenge that, in his view, is not feasible for everyone.
Hamza Ali Abbasi
Hamza Ali Abbasi’s perspective on polygamy has been regarded as one of the most insightful among Pakistani celebrities. When asked about his views on the topic, the actor expressed that he is content with being in just one marriage. He noted that while Islam permits up to four marriages under specific conditions, it is primarily for the purpose of supporting widows or orphans in need.

Yousaf is my father’s name, and there’s no relationship more special than that of a father. Sometimes, I feel like changing my bio from Farah Iqrar to Farah Yousaf. Yesterday, a fan asked if I had separated from Iqrar-ul-Hassan because my name appeared as Farah Yousaf. On most of my social media accounts, I’ve written Yousaf because they’re old, and due to verification issues, I can’t change them. If I change the names on my verified accounts, I’ll lose the verification, which is why I haven’t updated them. Both names are mine, and both are very dear to me. There are personal reasons why I’ve kept Yousaf as my surname. There is no separation between us, people write whatever they want”. Here is the link to the video:

This is so terrible.” Another wrote, “I hate when Pakistani dramas start speaking English; it’s so annoying (different if it’s done in a comedic way like Hina Dilpazeer did).” One taunted, “For a second, I thought auto-dub was on.” Many said it is embarrassing to watch and questioned why actors like Khushhal Khan need to pick such scripts.
