Shamoon Abbasi posted, “Step by step to reach the stars
Step 1. Insult some one at a vendors counter.
2. Get recorded on video by the people sitting there.
3.get spotted in the process of insulting and realise that u are fucked.
4.go home think what you have done.
5. Come up with a lame experimental story.
6.make a video and call the whole thing an experiment and drag the audience into it by thanking them for being part of the non existing experiment.
7.get bashed on the explaining video more than the actual video.
8.and voila’.. You are on planet dumb.
The day we start accepting our crap will be the day!”
Here is Shamoon Abbasi’s post in which he criticized Ali Rehman Khan:
Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has been named most influential style icon of 2019. She has topped the list after she released her charity capsule of work attire to help unemployed women in the United Kingdom. A Club Monaco dress she work sold out after 24 hours after she wore it. Speak about influence! Wow! Let’s take a look at some of Meghan’s best outfits:
Obviously this Club Monaco dress paired with blue heels had to be the first one of the list. An Elegant and classy outfit paired with a sleek bun.
Again, The Duchess has her hair pushed back in a sleek bun while she steps out in a black jumpsuit by Everlane paired with black heels by Manolo Blanik. She has kept her accessories minimal with gold statement earrings.
This glamorous, leather burgundy skirt by Hugo Boss paired with a burgundy V neck sweater is all things goals! Again, Meghan has opted for a bun but this time it’s a messier version.
This striped dress by Martin Grant paired with black earrings and cascading waves are an effortless look which Meghan carries with grace and poise.
Another Martin Grant striped dress which is of a peculiar olive color looks effortless on Meghan. She has surely pulled off the look with matching heels.
Another olive green dress paired with matching pumps, hat and clutch which Meghan pulls off with great panache and sass.
This dark emerald jacket and matching dress custom made by Erdem paired with Aquazzura black heels and Givenchy black clutch. Yet again, Meghan has her hair in a sleek bun. This color makes her look refreshing and glowing.
This green dress by Jason Wu paired with gold drop earrings and black heels makes Meghan look classy and elegant.
Another color which makes Meghan look stylish and absolutely glowing is red. This cape dress by Valentino paired with nude heels and Valentino Garavani clutch takes her style game to another level.
This off shoulder mid length dress with straped heels is a smashing hit look on Meghan Markle.
Meghan nails this look where she sports chambray shorts with a matching blazer. She breaks the monotony of the outfit with a burgundy handbag. 10/10!
Black on black with cascading Hollywood waves paired with a red lip and nude heels are just the perfect combination done right.
This Oscar De La Renta bird black and white gown makes her look no less than a princess. Paired with black heels and cascading wavy hair, Meghan puts her best foot forward (pun intended!)
The Duchess sure looks like royalty while she shows off her sexy side in this halter neck gown by Stella McCartney. She has paired the gown with white heels and diamond earrings.

Ahsan Khan has amazed everyone with his acting skills. He has played a variety of characters in different dramas. Currently, he is hosting ‘Bol Nights with Ahsan Khan’.
Ahsan Khan has been appointed as a CLF Goodwill Ambassador by the Children’s Literature Festival.
Khan is born in London into a family of five siblings: an elder brother, two elder sisters and a twin brother, Yasir Khan. He’s the only one to have gone into acting from his family.
In an interview, Ahsan Khan shared how his twin brother gets angry when somebody approaches him and calls him Ahsan Khan.
On asking upon ‘does your twin brother ever pretend to be you?’ Ahsan replied, “Not at all, my twin brother does not like this attention at all. He is like a normal, casual guy who lives in London, he does not live here. You know how kids-people are over there they are a little more straightforward kind of people. People here are usually a little bit courteous. So whenever someone approaches him and says, ‘Oh, you are Ahsan Khan, what are you doing here?’ He reacts in a very bad way. He asks me, ‘what is with you? people keep on coming behind me’.”
Furthermore, he shared, “My brother is a little heavier than me. I am heavy too but he is a bit heavier. He is not in the field so he does not want to maintain. So people usually approach him and say, ‘you have gained a little weight, what has happened with you?’ So he really dislikes this but obviously he is my brother he is an amazing guy and plays along as well.”
An abusive home can take a toll on your mental and physical health. It is important to be strong while you’re living there and know when the time is up and how to leave such a place. Here’s a guide on ways to cope with living in an abusive home and how to leave one:
Spot a pattern
An abusive relationship will have a set pattern with the partner gaslighting you and blaming you for each and everything that goes wrong. You need to note down that very pattern and keep an account of all the things said and done wrongly towards you.
Keep a timeline
Keep a timeline of with all details of misconduct, physical or verbal bad behavior towards you. You will need it to prove yourself in court or to other people like your family members.
Gather evidence
Gather evidence in the form of photographs, videos, voice messages, text messages, calls, emails, medical reports, etc. You will need all this evidence to prove yourself if and when the time comes to get yourself out of the abusive relationship.
Keep original evidence and make copies of it
Keep original evidence and also don’t forget to make copies of it in case you lose the original files. You can either scan them or take photographs of it or keep soft copies, anything which can be kept safe.
Send it to someone trustworthy
Send the evidence to someone trustworthy like a close friend or family member. They can keep the evidence in a safe place. Make sure the abuser has no idea that the close friend or family member has any evidence against them or they could manipulate or blackmail them.
Know who to call or go to in an emergency
Try and test close friends and family with your secrets. When you’re in a sticky situation, you should have someone to turn to and call and even live with if things go bad.
Save money
You can’t do much if you have absolutely no money on you. Having no money means you won’t be able to leave or even build a new life. If you can, try and earn and keep saving money for the unreliable situations. You will be needing it if and when you decide to leave.
Don’t lose hope
Last but not the least, don’t ever lose hope that things won’t be favorable. Try socializing, doing volunteer work or any other job which would bring you happiness.
The British born television and film actor Ahsan Khan is the heartthrob of Pakistan. He appeared in the films Nikaah and Ghar Kab Aao Gay. Later, he moved into television. He is currently playing a role inspired by Rumi in his latest drama serial, Alif.
Recently, he gave an interview and shared many things about his life. He shared his views on the very famous dialogue from drama ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’. He talked about how the dialogue ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ has been misunderstood and it’s for everyone who cheats.
“A drama should be taken as a drama and Khalil Sahab is a wonderful writer. He has not directed the ‘dou takay’ (dialogue) at not the woman alone. He has pinpointed the cheating element. That’s my point of view,” Ahsan Khan shared.
This dialogue took the internet by storm and people had mixed reactions. Some people simply loved the dialogue while others called this dialogue problematic.
Here is Ahsan Khan’s clip in which he is sharing his views:
It seems like the coming year will definitely prove to be good for the number of Pakistani films coming out in cinemas. Although we don’t know about the quality of the content yet, considering we have ace writers and directors bringing about a couple of feel good films, we’re sure, the meager footfall surrounding the cinemas in Pakistan will definitely witness a huge surge.
So, one film, that is almost ready for its release early next year, happens to be the Farhan Saeed, Feroze Khan starrer Tich Button. In a post shared on Twitter, producer Urwa Hocane, shared how the film had finally wrapped its shooting spell and would be going into post production soon.
In an earlier interview, Urwa had also shared the Tich Button would release somewhere in the first quarter of the coming year. Really soon, had said the actress cum producer.
Here are a few pictures from Tich Button’s cast and crew filming the final spell in Turkey.
Humayun Saeed’s Meray Pass Tum Ho is gaining immense popularity with each passing episodes. Every week, the episodes get the highest rating and millions of views not only on television but on YouTube as well. This week’s episode, was another big hit as it brought for the viewers something they had never expected to happen in such a short span of time.
The 15th episode showed Humayun Saeed’s character Danish manning up to Shahwar for once in his life. The dialogue Danish delivered stating how Mehwish sold herself to Shahwar but his son Rumi wasn’t on sale was amazing. But more than that the physical blows Danish delivered upon Shahwar, mauling him like a bear because he was pushed to the edge has been appreciated more than anything else by the audience.
In fact those particular scenes have been trending on social media with all sorts of memes being attributed to it.
The episode has crossed more than 7 million views on YouTube and taking that into account, actor Humayun Saeed took to his social media to thank his viewers for all the love and appreciation he had been receiving. However, Saeed did not forget to add that it was Adnan Siddiqui’s reaction to his action that had the scenes became such a huge success. And to be honest, Adnan Siddiqui as Shahwar did deliver his part perfectly when Danish landed one blow on him after another. The frustration on part of Shahwar was brilliantly portrayed by Adnan Siddiqui.
“Thank you for all the love and appreciation! It kind of feels strange to ‘like’ or respond to all the excitement on someone being hit though. I have to admit credit goes to Adnan Siddiqui whose wonderful reaction to my action has made this sequence such a success @adnanactor,” tweeted Humayun while sharing a picture of himself and Adnan Siddiqui.
The preview for the next episode shows Shahwar on the verge of his anger, so much so that he is considering have Danish murdered. However, if that is going to be the case or not waits to be seen. Meray Pass Tum Ho has definitely lived up to the hype the makers created before the drama aired. It has to be one of the best entertainers of the year.
Mere Pass Tum Ho is considered controversial by many. It is the most popular drama on television which the viewers just cannot seem to miss. There are dramas which get nothing but praise when they get this popular and then there are plenty of other dramas like Mere Pass Tum Ho which are considered controversial and are criticized too for various reasons. Mere Pass Tum Ho is also the most talked about drama on social media right now, which trends on twitter weekly which is why there are many opinions about it. Not all these opinions are in favor of the drama but like the makers say like it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore it!
Mere Pass Tum Ho is also one of those dramas which has viewers divided in two definite groups; there are those who absolutely love it and then there are those who make sure that they share their criticism regarding the drama after a new episode airs…since they too are watching the show even though they are not liking it! When a drama gets this much attention, every little thing about it is put under scrutiny and so is the case with Mere Pass Tum Ho.
Everything related to Mere Pass Tum Ho gets viral which is why there are varying opinions from all quarters. But why is Mere Pass Tum Ho coming under such scrutiny and controversy time and again? What actually is a controversy? Well a controversial topic or project is one on which the public cannot agree and when a drama becomes controversial it means that it has in some way hit a wrong nerve. It won’t be wrong to say that either the drama or the people associated with it have done just that. There are actually some pretty solid reasons for that which will be explained fully in this article.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s Interview
The discussion surrounding Mere Pass Tum Ho was pretty basic like character analysis and pointing out the issues people had with these characters until the writer of the drama Khalil-ur-Rehman gave the interview in which he gave plenty of statements which for all the right reasons did not sit well with the public. So much so that even some of the celebrities who had been praising the show till then, started criticizing the writer and the ‘mindset’ behind the show. In a way the writer himself gave people a reason to criticize not just him but the drama too. Up until that point no one had criticized Mere Pass Tum Ho as a male chauvinistic bigoted piece of writing but after that everything was assessed from that angle especially by a specific group of people on social media particularly.
The analysis of the dialogues, showing Mehwish as the vamp and every minute detail was put under the microscope even by those social media users who were not watching the show. This interview basically attracted the attention of even those people who had no idea what the show was about and probably never really seriously sat down to watch Pakistani dramas. So, that’s when Mere Pass Tum Ho turned in to the most controversial play (in the eyes of some people) which was reflecting the regressive and outdated mindset that was responsible for putting women down.
The Dialogues
The interview given by the writer made many people who strongly disliked him for whatever he said analyzed every single dialogue from that point of view and that is when the 2 takay ki aurat dialogue was over scrutinized by the public. Since this dialogue went viral, there were so many people who were not even watching the show who got enraged because a man whose character was written by Khalil-ur-Rehman called his ex-wife 2 takay ki!
To this day, all such people pick up such dialogues and make sure that others see how wrong they are. And that is how the dialogues which were meant to show something else turned controversial.
The Bold Scenes and Scenarios
The bold scenes and scenarios in this drama have also made it controversial especially for those people who strongly believe that Pakistani dramas should be family dramas. The way a married woman openly had an affair was considered indecent storyline by many people. And then the fact that Mehwish and Shahwar are living together without getting married has raised controversies too.
The dialogues of Khalil-ur-Rehman’s dramas are always bold and therefore controversial but this time because this drama got so much hype so the dialogues have come under even more scrutiny especially in light on the writer’s earlier comments.
Controversy Sells!
Well! Mere Pass Tum Ho has proved that controversy sells even though the makers did not attempt to make a controversy and were often seen clearing the air. But, the fact that there were so many controversies regarding this drama has been one of its selling points. It would however be wrong to say that this has been the only selling point like some other dramas. There are many television watching viewers who are not active on social media and therefore such people most often have no idea how a drama is being scrutinized on social media. There are also innumerable fans who use social media and turn to it to show their love and appreciation for their favorite show Mere Pass Tum Ho.
The performances and the way this drama has been made can easily be termed as its backbone which is the main reason why it has been so immensely popular among the masses. It nevertheless continues to be controversial too but all of us who have been watching Pakistani dramas for years now, know that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is not afraid of controversies. His dramas most often are bold and because of that they are considered controversial.

Sajal Ali has worked in so many good dramas that it is truly impossible to narrow down her best dramas into a list of 5. However, we have done just that so that all those fans out there who want to see Sajal Ali excel at what she does best can watch these dramas.
Nanhi aired in 2013 so there might be a lot of viewers out there who might not have watched this show. Even though this was an early phase of Sajal Ali’s acting career but till date Nanhi is one of the most challenging roles Sajal has played. Nanhi’s character was highly complicated and the drama itself was bold. Nanhi was a mentally challenged innocent young girl who lived an underprivileged life and was shown going through a great deal in life. Nanhi’s story was heart-wrenching and Sajal Ali’s performance in the drama was simply outstanding. Sajal shared screen with some of the best actors in the business but even then she made her presence felt and her character count. This was definitely one of her best work which should not be missed.
Out of all the latest dramas Sajal Ali has starred in, Yakeen Ka Safar got more success than any other. It wasn’t just Sajal Ali’s role in the drama which completely won the viewers over but her on-screen chemistry with Ahad Raza Mir too contributed to the popularity of this play.

In drama serial ORangreza Sajal Ali played an entirely different character from the one she played in Yakeen Ka Safar. She played the role of an overconfident, defiant and adventurous young girl in this play. For the longest time Sajal Ali’s acting was one of the best things about ORangreza. ORangreza’s script was groundbreaking in many ways. Even though Sajal Ali once again starred with the most iconic actors in the industry in this serial but there wasn’t a single scene in which Sajal’s performance or confidence was affected by their aura. ORangreza is the best play Sajal Ali has worked in, it has the best team too and Sajal’s performance is simply remarkable in it.

Ali Zafar’s younger brother Danyal Zafar recently released an English-language song called ‘Blue Butterfly,’ bringing across a fusion of part rhythm and blues/part soul. The song, a beautiful composition to listen, shows the musical capabilities of Zafar, particularly as a young artist entering the industry.
However, its the video of Blue Butterfly that has generated a lot of hype. With Blue Butterfly, it is the first time a Pakistani artist flown across to the West and created likewise content for the international audience as well. And by that we mean, the content of the video is rather bold. It brings across the rawness of love and feelings, going a tad bit overboard for the gairat brigades in Pakistan.
However, people have been sharing all sorts of comments and reactions on Danny’s YouTube page and all over social media where the song has been uploaded.
In fact Danyal Zafar’s elder brother Ali Zafar, who looks a lot like him and is an acclaimed artist himself, has also been at the receiving end of the bashing stating how people have been mistaking him to be Danny and sending across hate his way for the bold video.
Tonight’s episode of Ehd-e-Wafa was powerful as well as entertaining. Once again, the journeys of the Ehd-e-Wafa boys were covered in such a manner that there was something interesting or emotional about all of these tracks. The story is getting more entertaining and exciting with every passing episode. The evolution of the boys and their struggles were covered convincingly in this recent episode of Ehd-e-Wafa. Shehryar, Shariq and Saad continue to be my favorite characters. Their scenes tonight had a little bit of everything – some comedy, emotions and most importantly these tracks piqued my curiosity. Waiting to see Shehryar and Shariq excel in their respective fields. The leadership qualities in Saad were evident from his scenes tonight and it was clearly shown that the training of the PMA had polished him. Except for Shahzain, all the other boys are struggling to get somewhere in life. they are more committed today than they ever were before. I absolutely loved the way Shehryar and Shariq’s family lives were covered tonight. These scenes were beautifully written and acted-out. The director Saife Hassan has done exceptionally well while covering the scenes at the PMA, these scenes truly make you feel like you are watching the actual training and drill sessions on screen.
Important Developments
Shahzain and Raani got engaged tonight. This was yet another episode which opened with their scenes. While Raani’s father has ulterior motives, Shahzain’s grandfather also feels that being friends and relatives is better than being competitors. Shahzain’s mother it seems is not happy with this arrangement. Zara Noor Abbas’ confident and solid performance which went so well with the character that she is playing had to be the best thing about these scenes. She looked great and her scenes were quite amusing. Her dialogues were written well and Zara Noor Abbas did complete justice to them as well. She should definitely do more comedy because she is so good at it. Raani’s energy and her vibrant personality make these scenes a treat to watch. Shahzain was stiff as usual and I must say that Osman Khalid Butt isn’t really into this character just yet!
Shariq had a confrontation with the person incharge of the post mortem and as it turned out, he was the man his sister had already entered into a nikkah with. When his sister told Shariq that this man was already her husband, it came as a complete shock. Shariq is on a mission and his values have clearly been laid down in these past few episodes. This is going to upset him a lot and I am waiting to see what is going to happen next. Also, someone like his sister surely deserves better. Shariq’s energy and enthusiasm has been translated on screen impeccable by Wahaj Ali. His character too is wonderfully etched-out. The scenes with his family tonight were one of the best scenes in this episode. I also like the actress playing his mother’s role, really sweet. The love these three family members share has always been shown so realistically. I still remember the first scene covering Shariq’s sister’s reaction, it was extremely powerful and even now, their interactions are always emotional and impactful.
Saad’s military training was the highlight of this episode since it showed how all this drilling and mentoring had changed him. Saad was always the intelligent one in the group but he never showed leadership qualities before. He was shown as the introvert and shy young man who did not open up unless he was around people he was really close to. Looks like he has found the right place where his innate skills are being polished and tonight he lead his group towards success. This development too was covered in such an amusing way. The way the boys backed out and decided to sleep but couldn’t – it was really realistic and therefore easy to relate to. Saad is truly dedicated at this point. Ahad Raza Mir has done exceptionally well in making sure that every aspect of Saad’s personality comes alive on screen.
Shehryar’s scenes were also directed and acted-out so well. I absolutely love Ahmed Ali Akbar’s performance, his expressions are always so natural and genuine. His overall look too is completely in line with the character he is playing. Shehryar and Masooma’s interaction was sweet as well. I find myself rooting for Shehryar every single time. His character is extremely likable and simple yet so appealing.
Final Remarks
Overall, this was one of the best episodes of Ehd-e-Wafa, with the performances, script and direction on point. I am definitely looking forward to the reunion more than anything else. I hope that the drama continues to be interesting in the upcoming weeks as well.

Hira Mani has paved her way to success in a short span of time. It is Hira Mani’s immense talent that has allowed her to not only earn a name for herself but also a spot in some of the best and successful dramas over the years. Hira started off as a co-host to her husband Mani but after that she explored the domain of acting and never looked back. It won’t be wrong to say that Hira Mani is the find of Pakistani showbiz industry and she is a very fine actor who breathes life into the characters she plays.
Hira Mani’s transformation is exemplary where she not only lost weight but also worked a lot how she wants to carry herself. After experimenting a lot with her styling and makeup, she now seems to have picked up the kind of style which is quirky with Hira’s personal and modern twist to it. Hira Mani has unique features and this is the reason why there are specific kinds of makeup looks that she can carry. Hira Mani has healthy skin therefore she does not need a lot of base and skin makeup, however when it comes to accentuating her eyes and the entire face structure, the makeup artists have to be particular about the kind of techniques they rely on to do justice to her beauty and bring out the best in her.
Here are the top 5 makeup looks of Hira Mani:
Clean and Fresh Makeup
This makeup looks absolutely beautiful on Hira Mani. In an era where makeup look is incomplete with shimmering highlighters, this matte makeup look is such a pleasant change and gorgeous to look at. It is all about matte foundation which actually gives her skin a beautiful finish. The eye makeup is simple and fresh which has been achieved using warm tone eyeshadow and a bit of pink. The eyeliner has been applied with a pencil and not a liquid eyeliner, because of which her eyes have a softer look. The wing elongates her eye shape and it has also been smudged at the end. The actual technique which is making this eye look beautiful is the usage of ivory almost shimmery eye shadow in the inside corners of her eyes, covering the tear ducts, it opens up her eyes even more. The white pencil has also been used to line the eyes, making her eyes look open. The rest of the face makeup is simple with peachy pink blush and similar shade of lipstick. The makeup artist has darken her eyebrows to frame her face and in a makeup look which is all about softer fresher look, the dark eyebrows are completing the look perfectly. There is no heavy contouring on the face but her nose has been accentuated using the technique and there’s a slight bronzing done on the sides of her face, especially the hollow of the cheek.
The Blown Out Smokey Makeup
This makeup look also looks gorgeous on Hira Mani and although she is rarely seen in kohled eyes, this look shows that she can carry such makeup look beautifully as well. The focus of this entire makeup look is on her eyes with cool toned browns which form the edge. The same shade of brown has been used to smoke out the lower lash-line. The rest of the makeup is simple with kajal in her waterline and the rim of her eyelashes, which makes this look a classic smokey eye. Eyebrows are dark to balance out the darkness created by the kajal. The rest of the face is considerably highlighted bringing the high points of her face to the forefront like undereye area, forehead, bridge of the nose and center of her chin. The rest of the face is perfectly bronzed and not so structured with a harsh contour. The lipstick is a perfect shade of pink which gives her lips a beautiful natural color.
The Highlight Effect
This entire face of makeup is all about the glow, both on the eyes and the face. The foundation is dewy and there’s a lot of highlighter that has been used to accentuate her cheekbones and bring attention to the rest of the face as well. The eye makeup is beautiful with a beige shimmery eyeshadow on the lid and the depth has been created using a basic shade of brown. Hira Mani is wearing false eyelashes but only on the outer edge of her eyes which gives her eyes a feline effect. This look is different and not something that she carries quite often but it looks gorgeous on her. In this look as well, her face has not been heavily contoured, which goes to show that makeup artists do not want to bring harshness to her already structured face. She is wearing a beautiful mauve shade lipstick which is in trend from the last couple of years.
The Classic Bridal Makeup
This is the classic bridal makeup look that suits Pakistani features the best and is the kind of makeup that can never go wrong. It is all about the dramatic eye look where the crease has been accentuated using dark brown and black eyeshadow, the edge has also been darkened. The center of the lid has shimmery golden eyeshadow, finished off with a strip of dramatic false eyelashes. The rest of the face is all about matte foundation, properly arched eyebrows, beautiful shade of pink blush on to bring softness to the face and a beautiful shade of neutral brown lipstick with a bit of red undertone. This makeup look is absolutely beautiful on Hira Mani.
The Do Bol Makeup
Hira Mani was known for going overboard with lip and cheek tints in her previous projects. She also used to wear a lot of it on her nose as well which made it look like she was crying or is going to start crying any minute. However in Do Bol, Hira Mani definitely looked at her finest because the makeup artist allowed her beauty to shine through and used only the minimal amount of makeup, which was actually required to accentuate her beauty. This is the reason why Hira Mani, while promoting Do Bol actually gave a shout out to her makeup artists because she also acknowledged the fact that he did a good job on her and made her look absolutely beautiful. The kind of makeup that Hira Mani wore in Do Bol was all about fresh and clean looking face makeup with minimum foundation, a bit of highlighter on the cheekbones and some blush. The lipstick was kept to a minimum and eyes were given a little definition using bronzed warm brown eyeshadows. She also wore thick eyeliner in some of the scenes which also looked good and because it wasn’t a liquid eyeliner, her eyes never looked too made up or overly defined.
This concludes the list of top 5 makeup looks of Hira Mani. Which one of these makeup looks is your favorite? Share your thoughts by commenting below.

Recently a news story went viral in Karachi. The reason, it was stated that a man had killed a robber at the Boat Basim area of Karachi, when he was approached for mugging. The robber had died on spot and people had appreciated the man for his bravery for defying the robbery and taking a wise decision on spot.
However, in a rather unexpected turn of events, television actress Komal Aziz has come up as an eye witness to the entire scenario, stating that she saw the incident before her eyes and the man murdered wasn’t done so in self defense.
In a video interview, Komal Aziz, is heard stating that she saw the death body lying in front of her house for more than 15 minutes, even before people could reach him and that he carried no weapon as claimed by the murderer. Komal also says that upon searching on the internet and talking to the man’s family, she found out that he wasn’t a robber and that the murder had taken place because of an ulterior motive.
In the video, Komal says that the murderer Haseeb, had been waiting around patiently near his car right below her apartment until he was approached by the victim Sanaullah. “Upon Sanaullah’s arrival, Haseeb shot him in the heart at a point blank range. Had it been in self defense, Haseeb wouldn’t have shot Sanaullah multiple times. Also if he had suspected a robbery, Haseeb had ample time to drive off and avoid the entire incident.”
Komal Aziz had also shared on her Instagram story that this incident had taken place because of a girl and had requested the police not to be lenient with the murderer because he was rich and well connected.
It seems like the police is now investigating the matter at hand. Regardless of what the truth is, kudos to Komal for coming out courageously, without fearing for her own life and speaking against a murderer.

Ohkay so, this was yet another brilliant episode of Alif which was filled with meaningful & thought-provoking conversations every step of the way. What I enjoy the most while watching every other episode of Alif is how easily the conversations flow & how flawlessly they tell the state of mind of every single character. It actually is quite easy to go off track & lose the essence when every other conversation carries so much meaning & is actually designed to leave an impact but Umera Ahmed & Haseeb Hassan have been successful in conveying the essence of the story. This episode of Alif was beautiful & yes, there were again such moments where I got emotional. Alif is the kind of drama that stays with you even after you’re done watching it & the credit goes to the entire team, starting from the writer, to director to actors for making Alif what it is.
The Challenge:
Abdul Alla & Qalb e Momin’s conversations were straight forward, honest & clearly showed where they both stood in terms of their ideologies & perspectives. Abdul Alla is unable to actually understand what has gone into Momin, this is why he keeps on reminding him of who he was. Abdul Alla has actually assessed it right from the beginning that Momin is lost – he has lost his spirituality, he is also losing his faith & he is not in touch with who he used to be & unfortunately, this is something that Momin does not even realize. Their conversations were the best part of this entire episode. Abdul Alla is sorted, he knows he has to convey the right message to Momin but Momin is not ready to take it because he is not at that level of wisdom yet.
During their argument, Momin always found himself getting rattled at the confidence that Abdul Alla had in himself. This is something that actually made Momin wonder what is it that makes Abdul Alla so self-sufficient & emotionally strong, because in Momin’s perspective, his grandfather does not have all those things which Momin equates to the success of a person. Every single time Momin tried to convince Abdul Alla, he had an answer that left Momin speechless. Momin found himself getting outbid by Abdul Alla & this is something that he does not understand where it comes from.
‘Qalb e Momin kuch nahi kar sakta jab tak ke Allah na chahay. Qalb e Momin ke haath, insaan ke haath hain, shukr karega to payega, gharoor karega to gawayega’ – Abdul Alla let Qalb e Momin know very clearly how incapable he is. Momin has come to a stage in his life where he thinks he can do whatever he wants, he has actually not experienced failure & this is the reason why Momin’s confidence has driven him to the point of arrogance.
Momin accepted the challenge of Abdul Alla & in fact let him know that he will return successful than ever before. Momin does not know yet that the spirituality Abdul Alla talks about all the time does not come naturally to a person, it has to be looked out for, there’s a connection that has to be established in order to taste what it feels like. Qalb e Momin is obviously taking it as a challenge but this actually is the beginning of a new journey for him & he doesn’t realize it right now. Abdul Alla only wants Momin to think & he has actually convinced him to do so, he has planted the seed of curiosity in Momin & what a beautiful way of letting a lost soul wander to the right path. Another beautiful aspect of their relationship is that despite their differences, Abdul Alla & Qalb e Momin share such a strong bond. Abdul Alla especially has not let his differences with Momin get in the way of how he still sees him as his beloved grandchild that he loves & cherishes. Qalb e Momin at this point still holds Abdul Alla responsible for the rift between Taha & Husn e Jahan, he also feels Abdul Alla looks down on him because he is Husn e Jahan’s son but these are all his own complexes which he tries to hold Abdul Alla responsible for. Qalb e Momin tries to read between the lines while completely missing the point that Abdul Alla is straightforward & he calls a spade a spade. I can not wait to see the time when Momin will actually understand Abdul Alla’s thought process & his perspective as it will be quite a revelation for him.
Momina’s Reward:
Faisal decided to get engaged to Momina & Momina accepted it. Momina has been dealing with a lot in her professional life but still she stood her ground firm because she knows she has to take care of her parents without compromising on her values. Faisal & his mother are no different from one another & she made it pretty obvious to Momina’s parents that she was doing them a favor by getting her son engaged to their daughter. It is quite obvious that both Faisal & his mother feel they are in a position to draw boundaries for Momina because of their status & the favors they are going to be doing for her family. Momina is happy but she is practical & may be the years she has spent away from Faisal has made her stubborn to the point where she will not let anything take her mind off of her priorities. Yes, Momina wants to get married to Faisal but she also does not want him to do anything for her financially because she has gotten used to fending for herself. I liked seeing how Momina spoke to Faisal honestly about her work & her responsibilities. Faisal is actually mistaken that Momina will thrilled or excited enough to be naively doing what he’d expect her to do. May be the way Faisal left her & got engaged to someone else has left some kind of doubts in her mind & this is why she is not letting it get to her head that she got the love of her life. Momina has lost her brother & this is why, she doesn’t find it hard seeing everything as temporary as it can be – be it someone’s life, someone’s promises, someone’s existence or her happiness. Yes, she did recall the things Master Ibrahim has said to her in the past but the way she dealt with this relationship with a lot of practicality went to show how far she has become in terms of maturity.
All the conversations related to Jahangir were emotional. He is gone but he is obviously not forgotten, in times of happiness everyone remembers him because he has left such a void in their hearts. Momina hates Qalb e Momin because of Jahangir, another conversation which just flowed & showcased Momina’s mindset & her feelings for him. While Momin is trying to explore the new domain, Momina has no idea that he is about to experience failure. The Google scene was quite an interesting & amusing take on Qalb e Momin’s lack of knowledge about spirituality. He thinks just like all of the previous subjects that he has explored & mastered, this one will be a piece of cake which he will be able to easily elaborate in his film but he is soon going to learn the biggest truth of his life – something that Abdul Alla had said “Qalb e Momin is nothing”.
Closing Thoughts – A Feeling & An Experience:
Overall, this episode of Alif was beautiful & magical. I absolutely loved all the dialogues of this episode. Every single episode of Alif seems like a work of art & by adding so much of depth & meaning to it, they have made it a class apart. Alif I feel is not something that is easy to be described in words, it actually is a feeling & an experience – a magic. Acting, direction, dialogues, art direction, editing & all the little details are simply perfect. Please share your thoughts about this beautiful episode of Alif.
This was a powerful, satisfying and emotional episode of Mere Pass Tum Ho, perfectly put together by the entire team. It had the sweetest (Rumi and Danish) and the most gratifying (Shahwar and Danish) scenes to its credit. The dialogue ‘Samjo tu yahan se ghr torne ke jurm ki saza shru hoti hei’was the most meaningful dialogue tonight. Tonight’s episode of Mere Pass Tum Ho also showed that Danish’s weakness turned into his strength when Rumi made him realize that he was banking on him! No more Mr. nice guy would be the best way to explain the change in Danish’s personality tonight. His reactions, the dialogues and that one conversation with Rumi on the phone basically summed up everything Danish was till date and what he wanted to be now. The child star playing Rumi is absolutely adorable and the director Nadeem Baig deserves due credit for capturing his beautiful expressions. Even though some of the things Danish said to Rumi, made me wonder why he was sharing such details with such a young kid but Rumi’s innocence outshone everything else.
Rumi Makes a Decision
Tonight’s episode opened with a confident Mehwish asking the headmistress to see her son. She obviously did not expect such a reaction from Rumi. Rumi’s conversation with Hania was penned down so well since it showed that although he missed his mother, he was not willing to forgive her. Rumi’s anger was the perfect way of showing what this child must have gone through when his mother disappeared all of a sudden. All the scenes tonight covering Rumi’s state of mind were the highlight of this episode. Watching him cry at night but acting like he was really strong during the day basically showed this child had so much to deal with at such a young age. While he made up his mind that he was not going to forgive his mother, he was willing to go along with his father’s wishes as well. The smile on Rumi’s face when Danish told him he was going to fight for him was priceless.
Mehwish and Hania’s confrontation was interesting. Mehwish’s shock and shaken confidence was translated well on screen by Ayeza Khan. Hania isn’t that bold or fearless after all, she was clearly confused and slightly scared when Mehwish told her off. This side of her personality was actually interesting to watch. The headmistress stepping in, made this scene so realistic. Later on, Hania too in a way urged Danish to take a stand for his son.
Danish Is No Longer Scared
The most important question ‘why did Danish treat Shahwar with so much respect’ was answered in the most apt manner tonight. All this time, he was ‘scared’ of Shahwar because he was rich and powerful. For the longest time, the viewers watched Danish call Shahwar ‘sahab’ and he never told him off and the viewers wondered why. Well, we found out today that he was always terrified of the repercussions and he always thought about the consequences. While he was quick to give Monty a piece of his mind, he never had a similar confrontation with Shahwar until today. Danish has always been shown as the ‘nice guy’ – a man who would try his best to avoid conflict. The conversation at the place he usually has his food definitely added to the change in him. Was it that listening to people talk about his personal life like that made him see things differently? Was it because he got the hint that Shahwar never got married to Mehwish? Did it make him realize what a coward he had been? Or was it the fact that no longer ‘feared’ Shahwar after listening to his own employees talk about him in that manner? Or maybe it was just anger. Even though he already had that conversation with Rumi but the way he told the guard about the divorce and called Rumi immediately clearly showed that the scene at the restaurant was the turning point for him.
Instead of playing it cool and thinking about things long before taking any action, Danish instantly decided to take things in his own hands after that. The thappar even then came as a complete surprise – definitely a pleasant one and Shahwar’s shocking expressions were extremely gratifying to watch. He deserved the slap and everything else. This scene obviously reminded me of their first meeting, when Shahwar made him wait and later on made him listen to that conversation! This time Danish was in no mood to wait or listen to what Shahwar had to say. It remains to be seen now how Shehwar will react. Everything happened so quickly and Danish’s entire body language was so confrontational that no one really got a chance to do anything. It was however strange that Shahwar did not even lift a finger, why? So far, we have seen a side of his personality which clearly showed that he does not take no for an answer and he knows how to get what he wants but why wouldn’t he hit Danish back in such a situation? Danish is no longer the heart broken and dejected lover but he is now a father who will do anything it takes to protect his son. This is going to be really interesting! Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui both gave outstanding performances once again tonight.
Final Remarks
Well, team Mere Pass Tum Ho sure knows how to keep the viewers completely hooked. Beautiful dialogues, superb performances coupled with Nadeem Baig’s phenomenal direction make every episode of Mere Pass Tum Ho a must watch. Although the change in Danish was the most important development tonight but little Rumi was the star of the show. His scenes were an absolute delight to watch. The preview of the next episode seemed interesting. Is Shahwar losing his grip? Will we see another side of his personality? What is next for Mehwish? Mehwish had so much faith that Shahwar will win this fight for him but it seems like he will probably not be too eager to pursue it. Is he scared of a scandal? Waiting to find out.
This episode had so many interesting conversations, many of which I mentioned in the review. Another one which definitely deserves a mention here was the one between Hania and her sister, the balaa dialogue was remarkable.

It is an actor’s job to always look good and presentable on-screen. The camera demands certain kinds of basic or in some cases no-makeup looks so that the concerns of the skin are not accentuated on the screen. For an actor, wearing makeup is a must, irrespective of the actor being a male or a female. The kind of makeup an actor wears is purely based on their personal preferences. Where some actors prefer to wear a lot of makeup, some actors do not really pay much heed to it and focus on their character and acting skills.
It is a bitter truth that fair complexion is often associated with beauty in Pakistani society. This is the kind of trend that has become prevalent all over Pakistan with skin clinics offering whitening injections to help those who have some kind of complexes related to their skin tones.
Over the period of time, a lot of young actors who joined the industry did come forward and spoke openly about how they were discriminated based on their skin color and how bluntly the producers had suggested them getting some kind of skin whitening treatments in order to lighten their complexion. There are a lot of actors who proved their mettle through acting only but we also got to see some actors changing their makeup preferences to appear fairer on-screen.
The makeup is basically a mask that comes off by the end of the day but to see a lot of actors and actresses wearing makeup lighter than their skin tone does reflect that they may not be comfortable with their complexions like how they used to be and they also want to look fair. It is interesting to note that despite having so much of experience, these actors have either ignored or missed the point that HD cameras pick every speck of makeup that is applied on their skin and not only that, the actual skin tones peek through as well.
Let’s take a look at the actors who try to look fair on-screen:
Zahid Ahmed
When Zahid Ahmed joined the showbiz industry, he immediately earned himself the title of ‘tall, dark and handsome’. For a considerable amount of time, Zahid Ahmed was appreciated for being comfortable in his skin and flaunting it confidently but not anymore. Over the period of time, Zahid Ahmed has started wearing a lot of makeup and foundations which are 3 or 4 shades lighter than his skin tone. In drama serial Pukaar, Zahid Ahmed actually looked a lot fairer than he actually is. Then came Visaal and now in Ishq Zahe Naseeb, his obsession with looking fair is pretty evident because of the kind of makeup he wears.
Fahad Mustafa
Fahad Mustafa became a part of the industry at a very young age, therefore his transformation and change in his looks, styling and overall personality is not a secret because his before and after pictures are widely available on the internet. Fahad Mustafa has definitely undergone whitening treatments to look fair and this is why the change in his skin tone is not only evident but is drastic. Fahad Mustafa is the kind of actor who does not mind resorting to any such procedures if they guarantee him looking good on screen, this is the reason why the difference in his complexion is obvious. Fahad Mustafa also doesn’t mind wearing lighter foundations to look fair.
Sanam Saeed
Sanam Saeed was known for being herself unconventionally and unapologetically. Sanam Saeed was one of those very few actresses who only focused on their acting and characters and looking glamorous was never her priority but that has most certainly changed over a period of time. When Sanam Saeed resumed work after a long break, she came back with a different mindset. In drama serial Deedan, her makeup, hair and glamour made her character look unreal. Sanam Saeed also wore a lighter shade foundation to look fair as well. Sanam Saeed always took pride in being just herself at her utmost comfort in her skin, therefore this new change in her styling makes one wonder whether she is still accepting of her skin tone or not?
Mohib Mirza
Mohib Mirza has also been a part of the industry for a very long time. More than acting, Mohib Mirza has showcased and proved his talent in terms of hosting. Mohib Mirza has been the kind of actor who does one project after a long gap, therefore he puts a lot of effort into giving a different look and styling to his characters. In his recent drama Deedan, it was quite obvious how Mohib Mirza had worn a lighter shade of foundation to look fair. In a recently released image of Mohib Mirza, he seems a lot fairer than ever before and it does make us wonder whether he has also jumped on the bandwagon and gotten skin whitening injections?
Jia Ali
Jia Ali has always spoken highly about how she is comfortable in her skin and how much she loves her beautiful dusky complexion but not sure what happens when she decides to work in drama serials. Jia Ali has been a part of a lot of dramas as a supporting character and her makeup is always off. She makes sure to look whitewashed in all of her dramas – this is something that was quite obvious in dramas like Pukaar and recently ended Meer Abru.
Imran Abbas
Imran Abbas is one such actor who wears a lot of makeup, to the point where his eye shadows, lip glosses and cheekbone highlighter is always picked up by the camera. Imran Abbas’ skin tone falls in the spectrum of fair tones but the kind of makeup he wears makes it obvious that he is trying to achieve an even fairer complexion which makes the amount of makeup worn by him even more visible on screen. May be Imran Abbas has not found the right shade of foundation that will do justice to his real skin tone and that is why he seems whitewashed in most of his dramas.
Zarnish Khan
Zarnish Khan has gone through a drastic transformation which shows she is now very conscious of the way she looks and wants to appear in her dramas. Zarnish Khan has not only changed her overall styling and her preferences but she also seems to be quite focused on looking glamorous and made up. Zarnish Khan is currently seen in dramas Jo Tu Chahay and Ishq Zahe Naseeb and the kind of makeup she has worn in both these projects shows that she has decided to look fairer than she actually is. Her overall makeup has been decently done but yes, the difference between her makeup and actual skin tone is pretty visible in every single scene.
Saad Qureshi
Saad Qureshi is comparatively a new addition to the drama industry but his obsession with makeup and looking fair is pretty evident. Saad Qureshi has worked back to back in dramas like Pukaar, Meer Abru and he is currently seen in drama serial Mehboob Appke Kadmo Mein and in all of his dramas, the kind of makeup he has worn goes to show that he is trying to achieve a fairer complexion.
This concludes the list of those actors who try to look fair in their projects. Do you think this trend is acceptable and do these actors look good or they should stick to their beautiful natural skin tones and embrace them with utmost confidence? Share your thoughts.

Social media today saw a video of actor Ali Rehman Khan going viral, where the actor was seen yelling at a McDonald’s employee, asking him if he knew who he was and if he had seen any of his dramas?
Social media reacted violently to the video. Not only did it become one of the top trends in Pakistan but people also called out Ali Rehman Khan for playing his celebrity card and demanding to be dealt as a VIP in a public place.
However, it seems, there was a whole different scenario behind the video, as Ali Rehman Khan, himself, took to social media and made it clear how the entire video was part of a social experiment.
Explaining in his video, Ali stated that the entire scene at McDonald’s was staged to show how we need to react and stand up against the VIP culture that exists so blatantly in our society. Ali said that change needs to be triggered in our society and people need to speak up and put a stop to this culture which will be trending under #TumJantayHoMainKaunHoon
Ali went on to state how it was important that we reacted to VIP culture in actuality rather than only on social media and teach our children how this needed to be stopped for the future.
What do you have to say about this entire scenario? Share your thoughts in the comments below. (thewriteofyourlife.org)
Ali Rehman Khan is a rather recognized name in the Pakistani entertainment industry. The actor has a number of films and dramas to his credit and therefore, he certainly is a face known around Pakistan. About this we’re certain. However it seems, a McDonald’s employee didn’t really know Ali Rehman Khan or there has been a massive misunderstanding, in a video that has gone viral on social media and is currently the top trend in Pakistan on Twitter.
Although we don’t know the entire scenario, but we do see actor Ali Rehman Khan, yelling at the employee about something.
Ali Rehman Khan is recorded using lines stating, “Aapko pata hai main kaun hoon? Aapne kabhi mujhe TV pe dekha hai? Aap employee hain, aapka kaam hai meri baat maanna.” (“Do you know who I am? Have you ever seen me on TV? You are an employee, your job is to do as I say.”)
In response to Ali’s angry rants, the employee is repeatedly asking him to not be upset (angry) and that he isn’t joking with him.
Ali is only seen to get quiet and let go of the issue when he finds he’s being recorded on camera by a random person.
Although this sort of a behavior doesn’t really suit a celebrity and we know people will be quick to bash Ali for behaving in this particular way or misusing his popularity. The matter should be given a rest and people should stop being judgemental at least until they do know the full side of the story.
The video for now, only show Ali Rehman Khan yelling at the McDonald’s employee. Giving Ali the benefit of doubt, lets not judge him until we know what caused Ali to rant in public, even when he knows social media works faster than anything in this age and that his popularity could be at stake with this sort of an attitude.

The approval and opening of the Kartarpur Corridor was a historic moment between India and Pakistan. More so, the decision to allow visa free entry to Sikhs to visit the religious and beloved site whenever they wished, was a beckoning moment which would go down in history.
So why is the Kartarpur corridor so important one may ask?
The call for visa free Kartapur Sahib corridor was first initiated when the corriodor opened in 1999 and has been a old, long persistent demand from the Sikh community. Here we will tell you all you need to know about Sri Kartarpur Sahib.
Sri Kartarpur Sahib (Kartarpur, Shakargarh, Narowal District)
Sri Kartarpur Sahib is located in Kartarpur, Narowal. It is known to be the world’s largest Gurdwara and a holds a special place in the hearts of Sikhs around the world. It is also the second holiest site of Sikhism, after the Gurdwara Janam Asthan (the birthplace of Guru Nanak).
Baba Guru Nanak assembled a Sikh community at this very location and spent the last 18 years of his life until he passed away in the year 1539.
While the main shrine was built in 1925, the site was repaired in the 90’s with restoration work done in 2000’s and finally the surrounding areas had a courtyard, museum, library, domitories and locker rooms built from November 2018 which covers an area of 42 acres.
The opening of the Kartarpur corridor commemorates the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. Subsequently, the corridor connects two gurdwaras located on either side of the border – that is the Dera Baba Nanak in India and Sri Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan.
The Gurdwara is only a 2 hour and 15 minute drive away from Lahore which makes it 120 KM northeast of the city. Although a sacred religious site, anyone, belonging to any religion, can visit the site without absolutely no restrictions. The only things you need for entry are original CNIC and entry fee is PKR 200 per person for Pakistanis.
While the relgious site opened to pilgrims in 1999 after repairs and restorations, this is the first time and forever from now on that the site is accessible to Indians without any visa restrictions (a valid passport is required for identification purposes).
The corridor built between India and Pakistan allows easier access to travel and return the same day after paying darshan (pay respect) to the site.
If any Indian is visiting, there is a separate process for one time entry to the Gurdwara while entry fee for each visit is $20.
The best part of this initiative the social interaction between people from both sides. It can be a great meeting point for friends from each side of the border.

Later, Ali Rehman Khan in a video message shared the reason behind all this. He revealed that it was a social experiment and its aim was to spread awareness about #TuJaantaHaiMainKaunHoon. Ali was happy with the response he got on his video.
Shamoon Abbasi posted, “Step by step to reach the stars
Here is Shamoon Abbasi’s post in which he criticized Ali Rehman Khan:
Ahsan Khan has been appointed as a CLF Goodwill Ambassador by the Children’s Literature Festival.
In an interview, Ahsan Khan shared how his twin brother gets angry when somebody approaches him and calls him Ahsan Khan.
On asking upon ‘does your twin brother ever pretend to be you?’ Ahsan replied, “Not at all, my twin brother does not like this attention at all. He is like a normal, casual guy who lives in London, he does not live here. You know how kids-people are over there they are a little more straightforward kind of people. People here are usually a little bit courteous. So whenever someone approaches him and says, ‘Oh, you are Ahsan Khan, what are you doing here?’ He reacts in a very bad way. He asks me, ‘what is with you? people keep on coming behind me’.”
Recently, he gave an interview and shared many things about his life. He shared his views on the very famous dialogue from drama ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’. He talked about how the dialogue ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’ has been misunderstood and it’s for everyone who cheats.
This dialogue took the internet by storm and people had mixed reactions. Some people simply loved the dialogue while others called this dialogue problematic.
