Nadia Khan said, “The whole sequence of Dada Ji with Ansa was quite weird and cringe to me and the way he was talking to her was also inappropriate. Firstly, he said I saw you and instantly liked you for Anas, why did the grandfather like the girl for Anas and how dies he know that she is good? and then he told Ansa that he is an old man whose organs aren’t actively functioning, was there any need to say this?. Then he again shared weird remarks, saying, ‘husband and wife have mutual duties and rights to each other’, what kind of rights is he talking about? He said that I will talk to Anas in private and make him understand? What does he want to talk to Anas? So! all this conversation was inappropriate. I couldn’t believe I was watched this content on the television.” She also copied Salman Shahid’s style and dialogues. Watch here:

Why can’t we clean our own cities? We are always complaining about systems, weather, and nature, but we don’t want to play our part.

She shared a caption, writing, “Connecting with your roots is a beautiful feeling. Going back to the city where I was born, returning as someone who has grown and achieved so much in the eyes of the world, yet when I ask myself, I feel strangely indifferent.

Humayoun Ashraf is a versatile Pakistani television and film actor who has established himself as a remarkable performer over the years, especially after delivering back-to-back hit dramas like Khuda Aur Muhabbat, Rang Mahal, Mere Damad, Intiqam, Sultanat, Ehsan Faramosh, Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai, Ik Tamanna La Hasil Si, and Mushkil. Last year, Humayoun Ashraf received huge public and critical acclaim for his negative roles in the hit dramas Naqaab and Ilzam-e-Ishq. He is currently receiving praise for his acting in Mahnoor.
Recently, Humayoun Ashraf appeared on Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show, where he opened up about being single. He also listed the benefits of being single and mentioned the red flags in girls that annoy him the most.
Talking about why he loves being single, Humayoun Ashraf said, “Most importantly, single people aren’t answerable to anyone about their routine. Single people enjoy an independent routine; they are only concerned about themselves, they don’t rely on anyone, and they don’t have any tension. You sleep at your own time, and you can go on vacation anywhere, anytime. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to solve household issues. No questions and answers.” Watch here:
Talking about the red flags in girls that bother him, he said, “I don’t like rude girls. I mean, girls think being loud is funny. They also show in our dramas and movies that loud girls are cutesy and that the guy likes them a lot. For me, it’s a turn-off. You should have good manners. The rudeness factor, no matter how beautiful or good someone is, is a very big turn-off for me. Also, rude or loud people don’t care about how they behave with others. They justify their attitude and don’t feel bad about it. Many don’t even admit their mistakes. Just admit that you did it. End of story. Another thing that I have often noticed in loud girls is that they wait. If they have done something wrong, like breaking a glass, they won’t admit it by saying, ‘Man, I hit it like this and it broke. I made a mistake.’ No, they will wait for you to do the same so that they can taunt you in the same manner. This normally happens with women. It must happen with men too, for those who experience it. But I am telling you what I have personally experienced, and these things do happen.”
Iqrar Ul Hassan Syed is a renowned Pakistani former anchor, host, and crime reporter, widely known for his investigative show Sar-e-Aam.

Recently, Iqrar Ul Hassan appeared on Hina Niazi’s podcast Suno To Sahi, where he opened up about Fazila Qazi’s taunts regarding his political career and multiple marriages.
Talking about it, Iqrar Ul Hassan said, “Fazila Qazi is like an elder sister to me. I was surprised to hear her remarks. There was a time when I had a nasal issue, and she used to message me regarding it. She used to take care of me. Unfortunately, we are all now eager for views. I didn’t reply to her personally because she posted everything on social media. I did not lose the element of respect in my video. The thing she was criticizing was exactly what she herself was doing. She said, ‘Look, he got married three times. What would his child think?’ She was attacking my family while criticizing me for the same thing.” Watch here:

Asma Abbas is a regular digital vlogger, and she often shares her opinions on various social issues and human behaviors. This time, she opened up about husbands’ apathetic or detached behavior towards their wives after a certain age.
Talking about it, she said, “Husbands don’t talk. By talk, I don’t mean that they don’t speak; they don’t communicate with their wives. They don’t say things like, ‘This dress looks good on you’ or ‘You are looking pretty,’ they don’t say anything which makes women believe that the love between spouses still exists. Is it necessary that after the age of 40 or 50, you become serious and keep ranting about things that bother you, like ‘Give me the AC remote,’ ‘Prices are increasing,’ and this and that? They become so boring. Eighty-five percent of men are like that. They also speak negatively about other people’s children while praising their own children, although children are not always good. There are many children who kill their parents or throw them out of the house, but men are blind in their love for their children. It is often said that men like other people’s wives and their own children. Earlier, old women used to be bad examples in the society, but now old men have replaced them. All they do is talk unnecessarily about different things and annoy people. They are not interested in their wives but in everything else, like politics, rising prices, and other issues. Women continue to give the same attention to men, but men don’t. When women dress up, they are appreciated outside their homes, but their husbands never offer a single compliment.” Watch here:
