Last night’s episode of Meray Pass Tum Ho on ARY Digital was a riot, in terms of its emotional content. Danish’s heartbreak, so evidently and perfectly portrayed by Humayun Saeed, was something people cannot get enough of. The audience has been showering special praise for Humayun Saeed and the way he enacted Danish’s pain upon finding Mehwish had given herself to Shahwar completely.
The audience has been lavishly praising Humayun Saeed’s acting in the last episode. The actor portrayed Danish’s pain nailing each emotion and expression. The shivering hands, the teary eyes, if pain had a face, it was perfectly enacted by Humayun Saeed in Meray Pass Tum Ho.

Ohkay so, this was another beautiful episode of Alif. I feel I am falling short of words right now. It is absolutely amazing that the drama-makers have given the viewers such a drama which touches their heart. Umera Ahmed is Umera Ahmed for a reason, she knows what she is talking about. She knows what she wants to say & how to say it as well. I don’t even remember how many times while watching this episode I felt a lump in my throat & found myself getting teary-eyed. They have portrayed emotions with such beauty & finesse that it sets Alif apart. What I love the most is that while they show people struggling in their lives, they always make sure to bring their emotions to the forefront & this is what strikes a chord every single time. Each & every scene of Alif is perfectly compiled where it has so much to show & offer. Hats off Team Alif for bringing such a perfect drama to the table!
Meaningful Conversations:
Abdul Alla & Master Ibrahim’s meeting was one of my favorite scenes of this episode. It was detailed & just enough to let the viewers know where they met, what sort of relationship they share & the ship that Master Ibrahim has sailed in the past. I loved seeing how Momin’s Dada Jee; Abdul Alla, after feeling helpless went to see Master Ibrahim & confided in him. It was like he needed this catharsis & because he could not bring himself to talk to Momin about all the things that bothered him, he decided to share it with the one who he knew will understand his feelings. Master Ibrahim was once a shoe designer, he was living his life to the fullest, making money being an artist but then, his life changed & Abdul Alla played a huge part in bringing him back to his roots. Master Ibrahim is still very much in touch with his artistic side but he has changed his direction & he is far more content & happy.
“Insaan ko har tarhaan ke raaste pe chalna hota hai, sirf seedhe raaste pe chal ke to koi apne Rabb tak nahi pohanchta”, who would’ve said & known it better than Master Ibrahim. Abdul Alla also knows exactly what Ibrahim’s life was before & how everything has changed, but yes, being a helpless grandfather who wants what’s best for Momin, he could not help being worried. Momina & Abdul Alla saw each other. That brief moment was enough for Momina to know that he was someone very important for Master Ibrahim & she will later find out who he actually is.
Momina & her friend’s interaction was another beautiful moment of this episode. Her friend knows exactly how hard things are for Momina already, that is why she wanted to do something that would help Momina get to the auditions. Momina is talented & because life has not been favorable for her or her family, she underestimates her talent. Momina wants to, but she fears dreaming big & this was elaborated in the conversation that she had with Jahangir, still hoping to do soaps & dramas. It is beautiful how everyone around Momina sees the potential in her, they are always more confident than her. It explains how when circumstances are tough, the one going through the crisis stops seeing the skills which they have been blessed with. Momina lives in fear, she has so much running through her mind & that is why, she has let this fear overshadow everything else. Momina finally got selected & I really dread that a start of something great might in other terms turn out to be a huge personal loss for her? I so hope that does not happen though. Jahangir is the only driving force in her life, he encourages her, he motivates her, he is her brother, her friend, her partner in practice sessions – I hope nothing happens to him!
Momin was taken back to his childhood. I loved how it was explained that your circumstances in childhood shape your future. Momin grew up in a setting where he was very much aware of how he had to differentiate between right & wrong but because everything around him was what his definition of ‘wrong’ used to be, while despising it, he ended up doing all of that himself. Momin is being tested by the Creator & he has no idea. Young Momin saw his mother doing all that he never liked, he saw his mother dancing in front of men, he saw her spending time with strangers – Momin noticed all of that but his tender age did not allow him to see how helpless his mother was, how she didn’t want to do all of it but she was being pushed. Another attention to detail that I enjoyed watching was how they showed that slowly & steadily Momin’s clothing changed, everything around him changed – it was because Husn e Jahan decided to get back to work & then she started providing these luxuries for her family & child, while feeling dead inside.
Momin was keen to find his answers & he was so sorted that he also had a plan of action set in case he did not get the reply from the Creator. Young Momin would have never thought that all the things that he said to his friends will end up being his future. Momin actually is upset, he is sad, he is not happy because Allah did not reply to his letters & then his surroundings played a huge part in turning him into this arrogant successful director of this age. All the scenes that covered younger Momin’s ordeals & surroundings were brilliantly done. They actually did take us in the past & gave away all those details that were necessary to put things into perspective & complete the entire picture.
Abdul Alla prayed hard for Momin. They finally had a conversation & Momin thought he had all the winning arguments but his Dada obviously outbid him. For the first time Momin was forced to leave the argument & turn his back because even he did not have the answers to his Dada’s questions. Momin is right, everyone knows him, his Dada is right too – Allah knows him. I loved loved loved the conversation they had about ‘arrogance’. It highlighted the concept of projection, Momin saw exactly what he himself is in his Dada’s argument – arrogance. It is a done deal that Abdul Alla must have left but he has made Momin curious. I am not sure if this is the reason why Abdul Alla used to seek Husn e Jahan’s forgiveness – the flashback of Taha (Ahsan Khan) asking him the same question that Momin did about ‘seedha raasta‘? Is it that Abdul Alla did not approve of Taha & Husn e Jahan’s marriage because Husn e Jahan was an actor & because Taha left, Abdul Alla felt guilty? I can not wait to find out the truth but oh yes, no spoilers please!
Neha & Momin’s conversation was interesting too. Momin actually is emotionally invested in this relationship & he actually can not understand why Neha is being so pushy about Zufi? It was a minute expression but Hamza Ali Abbasi was phenomenal when he showed Momin finding it hard to believe that Neha was putting Zufi above him. He is Qalb e Momin, someone who is so used to being everyone’s priority, the first, the one & only, that for a moment he could not really accept what was happening to him & that Neha was saying all these things to his face!
Closing Thoughts – Perfection:
This episode of Alif was nothing short of perfection. All the actors have breathed life into their characters & this drama is an experience in itself. While watching their exceptional performances, I always look out for those minute expressions & I enjoy them the most. Manzar Sehbai was the star of this episode for sure. The way he got overwhelmed at the thought of Momin being lost was absolutely brilliant. Saife Hassan in that scene was equally brilliant too. The way he normalizes himself when Momina walks in was such a treat to watch. Sajal Ali was absolutely adorable as the underconfident Momina who was finding it hard to believe that she got selected. She also felt a little shy at the fact that she was in a 4-star hotel, it was all so amazing to see. Oh yes, her audition scene was another highlight of this episode, what a performer! Pehlaaj Hassan is another breath of fresh air in this drama – his scenes are heavy but his innocence gives so much relief. Pehlaaj Hassan has played the role of younger Momin with such finesse that both him & Haseeb Hassan deserve credit for getting such kind of acting channeled out.
I loved Qalb e Momin’s winning speech where he was thanking himself for the hard work, Hamza Ali Abbasi has nailed Qalb e Momin’s arrogance. That scene was so perfect & amusing where Qalb e Momin was showing off his victory & Abdul Alla left thinking it wasn’t worth his time. Kubra Khan looked gorgeous in this episode but yes, I loved her in those scenes more where she was with her son, being his mother. The supporting actors are doing a wonderful job too, Sadaf Kanwal & the actor playing the role of Momina’s friend are really good as well. This episode was absolutely beautiful. Umera Ahmed has written some brilliant dialogues – every single conversation is so meaningful which depicts the inner struggles of a believer with such clarity, simply amazing! Haseeb Hassan definitely should be very proud of himself for directing Alif so brilliantly. When the time comes, it won’t be wrong for Haseeb Hassan to thank himself for such an amazing direction – just like Qalb e Momin did, lol! Please share your thoughts about this episode of Alif.
Torte torte talluq ko nibhate jao – this one line from the OST of Meray Pass Tum Ho sums up what we saw in tonight’s phenomenal episode. This episode was so overwhelmingly emotional that it is actually difficult to pen down my feelings immediately after watching it. Humayun Saeed’s powerful performance was the highlight of this episode. He nailed every single expression and owned the complicated emotions his character went through tonight, completely. Nadeem Baig deserves an award for executing every single scene in the most perfect way possible. The background score tonight was used so intelligently that it actually added to the impact and meaning of all those significant and poignant scenes which could easily have been lost in translation. The camerawork was beyond impressive, the director made sure that the cameraman captured every ounce of emotion with his lens. Nadeem Baig has directed this drama in such a way that you really get transported to another world and find yourself feeling for Danish. Tonight, I am sure just like me everyone else also felt all those powerful emotions which Danish fought with throughout. Tonight’s episode was terribly upsetting because although we were all anticipating that Mehwish was eventually going to leave Danish but no one could have imagined that Danish was literally going to hand over his wife to another man because he was sure that being with Shahwar would make Mehwish happier than she had ever been with him. Once again, Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has shown the unimaginable! The dialogues tonight were so beautiful, deep and meaningful.
Danish and Shahwar’s Meeting
This was one of those meetings which the viewers are not going to forget for a really long time. From the time Danish entered the office to the time he left, every single moment was extremely powerful. Once again while Danish had absolutely no idea what was going to be the outcome of this meeting, Shahwar was composed because he had everything planned beforehand. Danish is an emotional person who believes in unconditional love while Shahwar’s moves are always well calculated. He firmly believes that everything and everyone can be bought while Danish couldn’t care less about money. The difference between the approaches of both these men was more obvious tonight in this meeting than it ever was before.
Humayun Saeed’s overall look in this scene was completely in line with everything his character was going through. He deserves all the praise in the world for a job brilliantly done. Shahwar’s intentions were quite clear when he made Danish listen to his conversation with Mehwish and made him look at those pictures. That was the defining moment and the fact that all of this was shown in such detail made the entire scenario easy to understand even though there was nothing simple about this situation.
The scene that was covered while Shahwar was talking to Mehwish was one of my favorites tonight. In this scene Adnan Siddiqui’s expressions clearly showed that even though Shahwar had planned everything so well but he couldn’t help being extremely shocked by Danish’s reaction. The person who was so used to being in control of everything actually felt clueless for a few minutes. Shahwar’s reaction to what Danish said after listening to his conversation with Mehwish suggested that he did not like being surprised even if such a surprise was in his favor. Also, it seemed like he would have liked it more if Danish reacted in a more dramatic manner. He clearly wanted to hurt Danish so bad that he would end up leaving Mehwish out of anger but Danish left Mehwish because he was sure that she will be happier with Shahwar. What an unexpected turn of events, simply mind-blowing.
Mehwish’s Overconfidence and Lack of Guilt
Mehwish’s attitude tonight was also shocking even though the past episode already revealed that she had made up her mind but even then Mehwish’s blatant disregard of Danish’s feelings showed just how much she trusted Shahwar! She no longer even feels sorry for him! In such a short span of time Mehwish was so sure that Shahwar was going to give her everything he promised. Although Mehwish is extremely selfish and materialistic but at the same time you can’t help but notice just how naive she is! She thinks she is clever, she called Danish a kunwei ka mendak tonight because he refused to strike a deal with Shahwar but she did not question her own actions even for a second. She did not even think about the consequences of her actions before and even now she isn’t thinking what can happen if things don’t go as planned. Sometimes too much confidence in your own judgment can be lethal – Mehwish will learn that the hard way.
Danish had confidence in the relationship and these two shared therefore he did not doubt her even when he could clearly see that she was acting strange but tonight when he found out that being with Shahwar makes Mehwish happy, he decided he needed to let her be happy! This was an extremely difficult decision and it seemed like there were times when Danish was hoping that Mehwish will perhaps change her mind.
Danish and Mehwish’s scenes made me dislike Mehwish even more and it won’t be wrong to say that I will be watching this drama to see Mehwish suffer perhaps more than to see Danish happy!
Final Remarks
This episode belonged to the writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, the director Nadeem Baig and the phenomenal actor Humayun Saeed. After Dillagi, this has to be Humayun Saeed’s most powerful performance. Ayeza Khan has underplayed her character which is why there are times when you wish she would not hold back. Adnan Siddiqui did exactly that he was supposed to tonight. I have to say that although his character is relatively easier to translate on screen but Adnan Siddiqui has nevertheless performed really well. Danish’s scenes with Rumi once again were beautifully written and acted-out. The child star playing Rumi’s role is a sweetheart. Tonight’s episode of Meray Pass Tum Ho was exceptionally powerful in every way.
The preview of the next episode showed that Danish will divorce Mehwish and Shahwar’s dialogues revealed more about his personality. How will Danish cope with the trauma of this ugly betrayal? What is next in store for Mehwish? I can’t wait to find out!

Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Ali are a young and sensational power couple of Pakistani showbiz industry. They both had everyone rooting for their real life couple the moment they shared the screen together as Dr. Asfand Yar and Dr. Zubia. Since Yakeen Ka Safar days, everyone wanted them to be together because their on-screen chemistry was perfect and they made such a cute couple. It was around that time when Ahad and Sajal got together and started giving hints to their fans that they were in a relationship.
Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Ali have a massive fan following based on the immense talent that they have. Sajal Ali has been a part of the industry for a longer time as compared to Ahad and she has paved her way due to consistent hard and quality work.

We often get to see Ahad Raza Mir appreciating and praising Sajal Ali for whatever she does and can’t get enough of how cute they both are. Let’s take a look at the top 10 cute moments of Ahad and Sajal.
Zubia Rooting for Asfand Yar
It doesn’t matter if it is on-screen or off-screen, both Ahad and Sajal are always appreciative of each other’s talent and acting skills. Sajal Ali took it to the social media to request her fans to vote for Ahad Raza Mir as the best TV actor for Yakeen Ka Safar. It was during the initial days of their budding relationship and people could not stop wondering if this support meant something else and fortunately, as time progressed, their wish came true. Now when we look back, it was actually quite cute of both of them to ask their fans to support their co-star.
Things Get Cuter With Mama Mir In The Picture
It was absolutely sweet of Sajal Ali to not only be happy for Ahad Raza Mir, but also acknowledge the feelings of his mother for him. Sajal Ali could totally relate to how Mama Mir must be feeling because she herself witnessed her own mother doing exactly the same for her. Sajal was immensely happy for Ahad but what made her happier and emotional was how she saw Mama Mir cheering for her son. It was absolutely cute seeing Sajal taking it to social media and sharing a very beautiful mother-son moment that she witnessed.
The Couple Photoshoot
This was way before Ahad and Sajal announced their relationship officially but the news of them being together was already out. People wanted to know so much more but Ahad Raza Mir expressed his love for Sajal in a unique way. This photoshoot of Ahad and Sajal could easily pass as a couple shoot, both dressed in formal bridal ensembles, looking like a gorgeous couple, admiring each other.

Praising Sajal’s Beautiful Eyes
If you are not following Ahad Raza Mir, you need to do it for the way he captions his pictures. Ahad and Sajal are looking absolutely beautiful together, posing for a picture but Ahad’s caption gave a meaning to it. He took a moment to praise Sajal Ali’s beautiful expressive big eyes and we couldn’t agree more. Sajal is absolutely beautiful and it is always special to see how Ahad appreciates her.
Picture Perfect
Just seeing Ahad and Sajal together in one frame is enough to make you smile but Ahad Raza Mir’s captions act as an icing on the cake.

This is a shot taken during their recently released TV commercial and Ahad is talking about Sajal being his partner in crime. The hashtag is funny and cute and leave us wondering if they did steal the biscuits or not?
Family Vacation
This was when right before their engagement Sajal was on a family vacation with the Mir’s in Canada. People could not stop appreciating how cute Sajal looked while having an ice cream but the reason why they could not stop talking about it was when they spotted Ahad Raza Mir in the background and yes, he was having an ice cream too. This was when people really got interested to know what was happening in their lives. Sajal looks super cute, doesn’t she?

We love these captions and want Ahad to continue with these for sure.
Merging Swag and Cuteness Together
Ahad Sajal and Ahad’s younger brother Adnan wished everyone Eid Mubarak. They posed together wearing sunglasses as an accessory. This picture was cute because they posed as a family and had enough swag because they made sure to throw that in as well. We can’t help notice the amount of cuteness and gorgeousness in this photo.
This concludes the Top 10 Cutest Moments of Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Ali that we have witnessed so far. We definitely hope we get to see a lot more moments like these. We wish love, light and happiness to Ahad and Sajal.
Our film industry is definitely in a better shape than it was before. We’re churning out films left right and centre. However, there’s still something amiss. We don’t have quality content. Our audience flocks to the cinema only to return disheartened with what they see on the screen.
At times big names of the industry fail to create a film that captures the masses. There’s glitter, there’s glamour but often the content is missing. The storyline dawdles and fails in the middle. And so, our films barely perform on the box office.
But perhaps this is about to change. With a new breed of writers and actors taking over the cinema industry in Pakistan, we’re certain we’ll have good films that not only earn big on the box office but also leave a mark on the audience in the future.
For now, we have high expectations from the Amar Khan and Imran Ashraf starrer Dam Mastam, slated to release next year.
Imran Ashraf and Amar Khan both can be called the Dark Horses of the industry for having attempted unconventional roles in their span of careers. Imran has tried everything from playing negative shaded characters to donning the chracter of an enunch and also a mentally challenged individual. What is more inspiring is the fact that he has aced each and every one of them. Meanwhile Amar Khan, whom we saw make her debut with Adnan Siddiqui’s drama Ghughi, again went on and tried on some unconventional roles.
In her first play, Amar shunned a glamorous image for a village girl and for her next, she outright went to play a ghost ‘dayan’ as she was called. Amar’s substantial performance as Nilofar brought her into the limelight and considering the way she’s currently acing playing the modern woman Alizey in her drama Dil E Ghumshuda, we can say, we’ll have a film with a performance oriented cast.
Also, with a director like Ehtehshamuddin at the helm of Dam Mastam, we can expect the film to run high on the performance and substantial content, something our films generally lack.
Amar Khan shared, “Its time for our film’s content and daredevil performers are given the front runner over the safest bets we’ve been making. Our film would be a visual treat but with a good text for the viewers.”
Adding further about the emphasis on the film’s content as a writer, Amar added,” Our film industry is reviving for now and people yet aren’t frivolous when it comes to films. We have seen how our films fail to get more numbers once they’re into their second third weeks. Even the films with our top stars do not attract masses much after the charm has worn off. Also the critics and film reviewers often stress that the focus needs to be on content and therefore with this film we’ve tried to do that. Again, the decision will be up to the audience and how they take to Dam Mastam, but yes, this isn’t a run of the mill story.”
A Mohammad Ehtehshamuddin directorial and written by Amar Khan, Dam Mastam will be produced by Adnan Siddiqui and Akhtar Hasnain under Cereal Entertainment. Alongside Imran Ashraf and Amar Khan in the lead, the film will also feature Sohail Ahmed, Saleem Mairaj, Adnan Shah Tipu and internet sensation Momin Saqib in pivotal roles.
In this day and age, Pakistanis are still obsessed with looking fair. This obsession stems from a result of post colonialism. Being fair and white automatically meant being priveleged, rich and wealthier than others. Whitening creams and soaps promote the idea of being beautiful and at par with superiorty.
This internalized form of racism is known as Colourism. Colourism is a prejudice or discrimation against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnicity. How shocking is that!
Although many believe the quest for looking white, fair and “beautiful” came from the post colonial era, the roots can be traced even earlier to the Hindu Caste system where the upper class, Brahmin enjoyed the luxuries of life while staying indoors and thus were fair; on the other hand, the lowest class Shutras worked hard outdoors thus getting dark skinned.
Priveleges are mostly prefered and are awarded to members of society with lighter skin, while dark-skinned individuals lack privilege.
While colourism made people dislike and develop a hatred to themselves, skin lightening compaines immediately took advantage of this while reaching new heights of success with various creams, soaps and treatments.
But it is extremely sad how many people are unaware of the hazardous effects of these creams. Such products contain chemicals which contribute to epidermal thinning (thinning of the skin), contribute to pigmentation in the long run, skin swelling, hypopigmentation, itchy skin.
The most dangerous ingredient in the creams is that of mercury. Mercury can damage a person’s nerves, reduce brain activity, damage your liver and kidneys. Also anyone who comes in contact with you while you use skin creams which contain mercury can get mercury poisoning through you.
If you’re dusky, you’ll instantly be frowned upon and told to get some whitening treatments done else you won’t find a good rishta or a good job. But if you’re fair skinned and white, you’d be promoted more in a well reputed job or be eligible for good rishtas. It is the case where the color of your skin is an indicator of what you can and should be able to achieve in life.
Although Pakistanis have a sheer hatred towards the West, it is upsetting to see how they are inspired to be more and more like them especially in the choice of skin color.
These same myths about beauty are mirrored in whitening cream ads as well, and contribute to the oppression of women since women cannot reach their full potential when they are busy striving towards impossible, and even unhealthy standards of beauty.
It is indeed upsetting to see even celebrities from our own entertainment industry endorse such products which promote fair and white skin. In the recent past, Sajal Aly, Mawra Hocane, Bilal Ashraf and the likes have been promoters of a fairer and clearer skin.
It is pertinent for us as individuals to love ourselves, no matter what our skin color is. If we do not start doing that today, we would not be accepted by others as well.

Winter is fast approaching as it is already starting to get chilly in the evenings. While some people prefer to stay cozy in bed, others wish to fully enjoy the winter season doing various activities, here’s a guide for you to enjoy upcoming winter season:
Eat garma garam seafood
Seafood is all the more yummier when eaten in winters. Devour some delicious masala fried desi fish from Bashir Dar Ul Mahi or take a trip down to Kasur for lip smacking fish.
On the other hand, if you’re not a desi fish fan, you can always have some walaiti fish from any of Lahore’s restaurants. To be honest, Cafe Zouk serves one of the best ones out there.
Have chinese
Aaah, winters and chinese. One of the best combinations ever. Piping hot soup served with fish crackers is exactly what one needs in those chilly winter days. Mandarin Kitchen in Lahore is one of the best places to go for chinese. The eatery nos has two location in Lahore that is DHA and Gulberg.
Stock up on dried fruit
Ufff, winter season is all about dry fruit. Crunchy chilgozay, peanuts, almonds and what not. Just scoop a handful every now and then and keep munching. But it’s so expensive so be sure not to waste any at all.
Eat them niharis and hareesas
Delicious hot niharis and hareesas served with lemon and dried onions on top is just the most amazing winter food to ever exist. Muhammadi nihari and Amritsari Hareesa are the pioneers of this special food, so be sure to visit them once.
Host bonfire and BBQ parties
Winter is nothing without hosting or attending atleast one bonfire or BBQ party. Invite over family and friends for a fun filled winter night with mazaydaar BBQ. Those delicious kebabs, tikkas which one makes themselves on those steaming hot coils never beats the ones eaten in restaurants. To top it off, you have a bonfire going on with music to dance to.
Go for morning walks in the fog
Yes, we know you can’t see much in the winter fog but isn’t that just the beauty of it? Walking really slowly in the morning and pushing through the fog whilst listening to music without a care in the world. Hayeee thandi hawayein!
Attend as many shaadis as you can
Winter season and shaadis go hand in hand, as soon as December approaches, lo and behold shaadi season starts. If you think staying in and being cozy is the best option, think about all the yummy food you can get like BBQs, piping hot jalebis and not to forget kashmiri chai. So get up, get dressed and get going!
Take a trip to Murree and beyond
Summers and winters are the only times people get to holiday in various locations. While people have more time in summers thus they can go abroad, winters comparatively give lesser time to take that step. So why not go local and travel to Murree and beyond. It’s cool, cozy and just the perfect family spot to enjoy those 2 weeks off from school and work.

Mehwish Hayat in an interview with BBC Urdu Pakistan confirmed that she will be playing the role of former Pakistani Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto in an upcoming biopic. Mehwish praised late Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and said that she loves Benazir Bhutto.
“I love Benazir Bhutto. She was the first woman prime minister of Pakistan. That’s such a great thing. People need to see and know more about Benazir,” Mehwish said.
She is greatly inspired by Benazir Bhutto and her struggles. Mehwish said the younger generation needs to know more about the great Benazir Bhutto.
“Things are written in books and people do read them. But the film is another medium altogether. Our generation needs to know more about Benazir.”
Mehwish further talked about how Benazir Bhutto inspires her and said, “The more I read about her, the more I am inspired but I also get sad. We lost a great leader.”
She also talked about the hate and controversy she faced when she received Tamgha-e-Imtiaz.
“The size of your mentality and your mind matters. Your mind should be big enough to fit both my Tamgha-e-Imtiaz and Billi song.”
Mehwish further talked about how Bollywood is portraying Pakistanis in a negative manner.
“Come and see for yourselves what a peaceful country and what a peace-loving nation we are. We are famous for our hospitality around the world.”
She believes in speaking truth even if she gets no offers from Bollywood. She shared, “I’d rather speak the truth and not get cast in their films. This is not something that I’ve said right now. I’ve been saying this all along. Maybe because of the current crisis, this has amplified so much. This has been my stance since day one.”
What are your views about this? Let us know in the comments section.

Here, enjoy some pictures and the celebrity galore at the function last night.
Ali Abbas shares a very special bond with his father. They are more like friends who share their deepest secrets, but there is a line of respect in their relationship, which Ali Abbas never even tried to cross.
Talking to Samina Peerzada, Ali Abbas said that he has the coolest dad. He loves him with all his heart and tries to follow his footpath.
Ali Abbas walked on the ramp for the very first time with his dad Waseem Abbas for Nauman Arfeen. The father-son duo was the showstopper for Naushemian at the Fashion Pakistan Week, Winter Festival.
Ali Abbas looked handsome in an off-white sherwani while Waseem Abbasi wore a pure white dress with embroidered waist-coat. Waseem Abbas got emotional and hugged his son tightly on the ramp. Perfect father-son moment. Their video went viral over the internet.
Khalil-ur-Rehman, after writing scripts for television and films, has made his directorial debut film Kaaf Kangana. The story is about an Indian girl Eshal and Pakistan boy Ali Mustafa who fell in love with each other. It’s a love story that started in 1947, and comes to the present with a bit of Kashmir.
Eshal Fayyaz is a ravishing Pakistani model and TV actress. She is an intense model who has worked with all the best form originators of Pakistan. As an actress, she is known for her lead role in dramas like Abro and Hatheli.
One fine day Eshal got a call from Khalil-ur-Rehman, and was offered a lead role in his debut film. Nida Yasir invited the whole team of Kaaf Kangana on her set where Ayesha Omar and Khalil made fun of Eshal.
Nida asked Eshal to tell something about Ayesha’s character to which she said that she liked one of Ayesha’s lines and would like to repeat. Ayesha instantly said, ” let’s see who she will say”.
Khalil and Ayesha laughed at her accent and body language. Eshaal said ”Punjabi accent” with a style on which Ayesha and Khalil laughed and copied her, making her embrace on the live show.
She had enough of bullying from her co-stars. She cried while talking about her dad, but it’s not like that. She felt bad that her own director and colleagues are making fun of her on a live television show.

Here’s Saba Aslam’s video in which she falls badly:
Mehwish Hayat has transformed a great deal when you compare her with how she looked when she entered the showbiz industry. Mehwish Hayat’s looks have undergone a massive makeovers and it is plain to see that Mehwish got plenty of surgeries done to look more attractive. Mehwish was always a confident woman who wanted to make it big in the industry. She has made a big name for herself in a short span of time. She very often is in the middle of controversies as well but she is not afraid of what people say. Mehwish Hayat faced a lot of criticism when she received Tamgha-e-Imtiaz but she did not let this criticism stand in her way. She was seen contributing locally and internationally to social welfare apart from excelling in her own field. Mehwish Hayat’s critics became her fans and even now Mehwish blames people’s mindset more than her own action for not accepting what showbiz personalities do in the name of entertainment.
Mehwish Hayat’s Surgeries
Mehwish Hayat, like many other Pakistani celebrities has changed her looks to look more attractive. When Mehwish Hayat joined the industry she looked entirely different from how she looks today. Here is a before and after picture which shows clearly that Mehwish Hayat turned to surgery to fit in to the modern definition of beauty. Mehwish Hayat firstly changed the appearance of her looks through a relatively common and simpler cosmetic procedure. When she entered the industry her lips were not as conspicuous as they are now, something which is really obvious in these two before and after pictures.
Big lips are in fashion which is why most celebrities nowadays get lip fillers. This is a trend which is followed globally and clearly Pakistani celebrities are not lagging behind. The change in Mehwish Hayat’s looks after getting these lip fillers wasn’t too dramatic and the real transformation came when Mehwish Hayat decided to get fillers injected in her cheeks as well. This is another procedure which is relatively common. Through this procedure the cheeks are lifted and this gives the face a more chiseled and defined look.
Mehwish Hayat had a skinny face which most often is the case when someone is as smart as Mehwish is. If we look at the before and after pictures it is apparent that Mehwish Hayat got cheek fillers to make her cheek bones high. This surgery changed the appearance of Mehwish Hayat’s face altogether and was a game changer.
Mehwish Hayat and Huda Kattan
When Mehwish Hayat was in New York promoting her film Punjab Nahi Jaungi, she was given some of her best make-up looks by one of the leading make-up artists there who has also given Nargis Fakhri some of her most amazing makeovers. In these makeovers, the make-up artist used Huda Beauty products and some of the looks Mehwish sported in these promotions made her look a lot like Huda Kattan. Huda Kattan too is continuously changing her look and she also gets cosmetic surgery done on regular basis. Whether Mehwish Hayat made her look like Huda on purpose or not, she sure did look a lot like her. Huda Kattan is a big name in the cosmetic industry. Anyone who follows her will know that Huda didn’t always look like this. Just like Mehwish she too worked on herself and even now she gets cosmetic surgeries done to look younger and more attractive.
Later on in Mehwish Hayat’s web series Enaaya Mehwish Hayat’s overall makeover once again made her resemblance with Huda Kattan even more obvious. While Huda wears heavier eyelashes, Mehwish prefers eyelashes which look natural but if we look at these two then in some pictures this resemblance is too striking. These pictures here are a proof of that.
When Mehwish Hayat was getting these makeovers done in New York some of the blogs even posted news pieces saying that Mehwish and Huda might be working in some capacity together but that never materialized. This turned out to be a rumor but this rumor only started because Mehwish’s make-up artist drover a great deal of inspiration from Huda Kattan. These pictures of Mehwish Hayat and Huda Kattan prove just that!
In all these pictures both these celebrities are seen sporting different make-up looks and different hairstyles yet the similarities between them cannot be overlooked.
Few More Before and After Pictures
It took a lot of experimenting for Mehwish Hayat to get to the point she is today. It started with experimenting with different colors of lenses, then make-up looks and eventually with the right kind of hairstyles. It can safely be said that Mehwish Hayat has taken some inspiration from Huda Kattan which does not come as a surprise since these two do look similar after getting the cosmetic surgeries done. While Huda Kattan openly accepts the fact that she gets these procedures done, Mehwish Hayat has never talked about it for obvious reasons.
Here are few more pictures of Mehwish Hayat before and after the surgery which make it quite clear that Mehwish Hayat definitely got these procedures done and she has greatly changed her styling over the years.
Ohkay so, this episode of Ishq Zahe Naseeb kept the entire focus on Sameer & Sabeeha, which was great. I enjoyed watching this episode because of the spellbinding performances as well as the secrets of the past that were revealed. I must commend the writer for keeping Ishq Zahe Naseeb interesting so far, where he has intelligently & strategically given away important details every step of the way to build the story. Ishq Zahe Naseeb happens to be such drama where the story is being told carefully & is still keeping the interest of the viewers alive.
The Confrontation & The Proposal:
Sameer has come to such a stage where he is losing patience & getting tired of Sabeeha’s antics. Sameer has stayed quiet for a long long time, probably all his life. May be Sameer accepted this as his fate & he got accustomed to the monotony that Sabeeha curated for him but not any more. The transition took place after he met Gauhar because she showed him a very different way of leading a life. After Gauhar came in Sameer’s life, he learnt that he deserved so much better. Sameer also realized that Gauhar was the one who saw him for who he was, she tried to understand him, sympathized with him as well & didn’t really bother about the things that were said about him because she believed in getting to know him herself. Gauhar saw Sameer as a human being who just wanted some comfort, support & love & this is the reason why Sameer’s love for Gauhar is so strong that he didn’t think twice before taking a stand for her in front of his controlling step-mother.
It is interesting that Sameer isn’t oblivious of what Sabeeha had been upto all these years. Sabeeha didn’t give him a reason to confront her but now with Gauhar in the picture, Sameer has all the reasons to go against her. One of the biggest secrets were revealed in this episode that Sabeeha was her husband’s secretary & she paved a way in his life based on manipulation. I loved the way Sameer said everything to her face because I really wanted to see how she would react hearing the truth loud & clear. Sabeeha is unable to deal with the new Sameer. She actually thinks she can still control him but she is mistaken. Sameer is proving her wrong every single time & this is what is making her frustrated.
Sabeeha definitely is the twisted one in this picture. I love how the writer has now shifted the focus from Sameer onto Sabeeha because at first we were made to think that Sameer has certain issues, which he still has obviously but the real culprit is Sabeeha. She just wanted Sameer to all by herself because of the property & wealth that he inherited from his father. Sabeeha always made sure to keep him secluded, away from any such figure that will give him comfort, because that could turn Sameer into a rebellion & this is exactly what is happening now. Sabeeha accused Shakira of child molestation & it goes to show how sick she can get to achieve her own goals. I wouldn’t be surprised if later it will be revealed that Sabeeha killed Zoya but guilt-tripped Sameer into thinking that he pushed her. This is another tactic that Sabeeha has relied on all this while & a little hint of it was shown in this episode where after the confrontation, Sabeeha faked her sickness. She knows that Sameer is kind-hearted, she knows that Sameer will never turn a blind eye towards her that is why she once again decided to guilt-trip him. Basically, Sabeeha is failing miserably, she is slowly realizing that she has lost control over Sameer – none of her strategies work & this is why, she decided to give it a last try.
Sameer has finally learnt how to be strong. Zahid Ahmed was phenomenal in that scene in particular where Sameer was shaken after finding out that Sabeeha was unwell & he wanted to go see her but because he knew what she was capable of, he decided not to. Sameer being the nice & big-hearted person that he is, obviously found it hard to ignore Sabeeha’s fake cry for help. Finally, Sameer is done with her, that is why he stopped himself & decided to send her a clear message that none of this was going to work on him anymore.
Sameer proposed to Gauhar & that was another highlight of this amazing episode of Ishq Zahe Naseeb. Gauhar was unable to figure out how to react but at that moment she went along because she knew that Sameer was just saving her from Sabeeha. However, Gauhar has pretty much made up her mind that she will get married to Sameer. The news of Kashif & Dunia’s engagement has also played a huge part in Gauhar’s decision but still, she thinks she knows Sameer enough to spend the rest of her life with her. Gauhar is once again putting Sameer as well as her family ahead of her, she has done this before & she is going to do it again.
Jahangir’s entire scenario is uninteresting because it is stagnant & there’s nothing much to it anyways. He is in jail & his father is trying to bail him out. Akbar finally hinted something & Noora couldn’t help but wonder what went wrong that Akbar was finally doing the talk. I so hoped that they will show us the conversation that Akbar & Gauhar had but then they are saving it for another day.
Closing Thoughts – One of The Best Episodes So Far:
Overall, this episode of Ishq Zahe Naseeb was one of the best episodes so far. Zahid Ahmed’s performance was spellbinding & he was absolutely convincing as the stern & rigid Sameer, as well as the son who was feeling bad for his step-mother. Sameer & Sameera’s conversation was portrayed brilliantly, Sameer feels he has done something to Zoya but then again, it has been left untouched deliberately that he has such tendencies or not. I feel Sameer on his own is not but Sabeeha plays her cards & she makes Sameer do such things, let’s see. Really looking forward to the rest of the story. I do enjoy Dunia & Kashif’s track just as much but it kind of felt nice to have a little break. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Ishq Zahe Naseeb.
Khalil-ur-Rehman faced severe criticism due to the tragic ending of drama serial Pyaray Afzal.
Pyara Afzal was one hit drama of its time. The drama was a roller-coaster ride; it was limitless in portraying human relationships. It reminded us of the golden years of classic television. Khalil-ur-Rehman took us on a journey high on emotional content and filled with some of the most memorable dialogues in recent times.
People were really disappointed with the ending of the drama. Afzal was killed at the end of the drama and it made the audience angry because the audience is used to watch only beautiful endings.
Recently, scriptwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman appeared in a morning show for the promotion of his movie ‘Kaaf Kangna’ and he shared an incident related to Pyaraz Afzal’s ending.
He shared, “When I killed Hamza Ali Abbasi in Pyaray Afzal many people abused me. Once, I was sitting in an airplane an elderly woman came and she slapped me from the back and said ‘ why did you kill him?’ I said, “No, he is alive!”
Here’s the video clip in which Khalil-ur-Rehman is sharing this incident:

Many people came out and absolutely appreciated this great initiative of promoting body positivity but there were many people who fat-shamed her. They used disgusting comments for Faiza and her body.
Let’s check some of the most disgusting comments:

Getting good grades are important but in the long run they won’t matter as much as you think they would. Many students suffer from exam stress, but don’t drive yourself crazy getting those A’s. Here’s a list to help you deal effectively with exam stress:
Make a time table
Making a time table will help you avoid last minute panic. Write down the number of topics you will revise each day so you have a set goal to achieve. Don’t pile up too much workload otherwise your brain won’t be able to function well. Also don’t start revising a week in advance, try to give yourself at least a few months to cover your syllabus.
Make notes and practice past papers
Don’t just skim through the books and memorize topics, instead write down things and make notes. Making notes helps more in memorizing than actually reading them. Also, you most definitely need to practice past papers as they will give you an idea of taking the exam before the actual day.
Practice your speed
The biggest exam woes are students not completing the exam in a given time slot, which is why it is essential that students time themselves while practicing past papers. This will help build speed, get an idea of the exam structure and make you more and more confident of a good grade in the exam.
Sleep well
A lot of people sacrifice their sleep for good grades in exams. This is indeed not a healthy practice as the human body needs at least 8 hours of sleep to function properly. Once you have a timetable set in place, you can sleep at a designated time and wake up early to practice for exams.
Stay away from your phone or TV while revising
Keep your phone, TV and laptop as far as possible from yourself. Checking your phone every 5 minutes to scroll social media or asking your friend what they’ve studied is only going to stress you more. Concentrate on your books, make notes and study hard for good grades.
Take mini breaks
Don’t take 2-3 hour long breaks binge watching shows or chatting to friends. Instead take mini breaks which will ease your mind over exam stress. Breathe and relax. Go take a warm shower or listen to music for a few minutes.
Eat properly
Many people stop eating just because they’re way too stressed over exams. This is absolutely not healthy. Your brain needs food to function well or else you’ll just end up with a headache. Have a protein-rich diet with plenty of milk, eggs, and yogurt to stay full for longer. Also, remember to drink plenty of water. It will keep you feeling awake and fresh.
Stop having caffeine, have juices instead
Many people rely on caffeine to help them stay away during exam nights. Caffeine has a history of bad mood swings in people while also disrupting sleeping patterns. Instead of caffeine, try having herbal teas, apples and water which will keep you healthy and your mind fresh.
