The nation we live in is a Muslim country where about 85% of the population is comprised of Muslim citizens. Whoever, when it comes to the media industry of Pakistan, celebrities are not only focusing on their career or worldly wealth but are also aware of their duties as a Muslim.
We love their acting, love their personality and no doubt we appreciate everything celebrities do and when it comes to performing holy obligations like Umrah and Hajj, we admire them even more as they stay connected to their religious side. This year, many celebrities got the opportunity to perform Umrah with their families and shared their most beautiful days with their fans through social media.
Many of our favorite celebrities shared the good news of being blessed to perform hajj this year.
Humaima Malik, sister of Feroze Khan, shared his picture and informed her fans that her brother is going for hajj. She asked everyone to pray for him to have a safe and sound journey.

These two episodes also covered more of the rishtas and family dynamics. Nain’s character and the way Zahid Ahmed has translated it on screen continues to be the only likable aspect of this drama. Nain took the lead throughout and once again proved that his physical disability was no match for his mental strength. He does not lose his grip over things and even when he is not in control he knows how to turn things around some way or the other. Saira’s character has been written well, it isn’t entirely clichéd but Sanam Jung’s dialogue delivery adds extra bechargi which is not needed at times. Sanam Jung has failed to highlight the strengths in her character. All this talk about rishtas for four weeks now has been monotonous but I am definitely more interested in the Nain/Saira track particularly because of Nain and Zahid Ahmed. Neehat on the other hand is a weaker character, which is why we didn’t see him pursuing his case the way Nain did.
Although Nain is receptive and intelligent but even then he failed to understand that Saira does not like him the way he does. This entire development however was shown quite convincingly. Saira has always been going to him with her problems, he has been in love with her for the longest time and now that he sensed Saira’s sadness, he thought that getting married to her and being her companion would be the best ‘solution’ to all her worries. Saira’s discussion with him about feeling worthless ended up making him think that she needed rescuing.
Nain is also very sure that he is quite capable of making Saira happy and obviously has no idea that Saira loves someone else. The only aspect of this entire development which wasn’t the least bit convincing was that Nain’s mother was never told that Neehat liked Saira and wanted to marry her. Saira on the other hand felt offended by the proposal and she felt that she lost the one friend she had. I also liked the way she told her father what she wanted and expected from him and everyone else. It is definitely good to see Saira voicing her true concerns every now and then but like I said, Sanam Jung has underplayed this character to the extreme. Even when Saira is shown taking a stand for herself and her mother she sounds extremely scared, this character should have been portrayed on screen with more confidence.
Saira was eventually pressurized into saying that she did not like Neehat and was not interested in getting married to him. Neehat was shown trying to persuade his mother to let him meet Saira whereas Nain did so with a lot more confidence without thinking twice. I am thinking now that Affan Waheed’s look goes well with his character since he has been shown as an immature man who is hopelessly in love but is quite helpless.
Nain has my undivided attention and I am hoping that Saira will not be turned into a bigger bechari. The character itself has potential and I do feel that Nain can prove to be a good husband if Saira gives him a chance. The dialogues covering the character assassination of Saira’s mother are just plain annoying and extremely repetitive. But I guess this impression will ultimately determine Saira’s destiny. The preview of the next episode showed Saira’s daadi catching her ‘red-handed’ and that would probably be the reason why she will be forced to marry Nain. I am waiting to hear Saira’s reply and wondering if Nain will figure out that Saira does not want to marry him. Zahid Ahmed is the star of the show and he makes this show worth watching otherwise everything else about this play is pretty average.

Lux Style Awards 2019, one of the most popular award functions were aired on Geo Entertainment on August 6, 2019. Now that they have aired, the speculations are put to rest and the viewers can enjoy watching the awards. Arranging award function is a mammoth task and to coordinate and rehearse with all the celebrities is another added responsibility. Where the organizers did a great job, it was also the responsibility of the celebrities to do their homework as well. Lux Style Awards 2019 is now going to stay in the news for all those good and bad moments that will keep on getting noticed.
One such moment belonged to Uzma Khan. Ahmed Ali Butt and his Jawani Phir Nahi Ani co-star Uzma Khan graced the stage to announce the winners of Best TV Actress and Actor of Viewers Choice. Ahmed Ali Butt cracked some jokes and began their segment on a high note. They announced the award that Iqra Aziz won for Suno Chanda and the crowd was pleased with the way things were being carried out.
Ahmed Ali Butt is an experienced all-rounder who knows what he is doing but unfortunately, his on-stage partner was not attentive enough. Uzma Khan looked super pretty with dressed in a green gown with her hair on the loose and smokey makeup, however Uzma Khan had a blonde moment where, instead of announcing the next category and nominees of Best TV Actor Viewer’s Choice, she took Feroze Khan’s name before, without much thought. Uzma Khan spoiled the award not only for Feroze Khan but also for the audience. Ahmed Ali Butt however saved the day and made it light-hearted by cracking a joke or two about it and the audience couldn’t contain their laughter. Uzma Khan was called on stage to announce the nominees and then the winner but it looked like she had a brain fog and didn’t pay heed to how she was supposed to do the honors in a sequence.
Feroze Khan won the award for Best TV Actor Viewer’s Choice, but he also won the respect of the audience when he brought veteran actor Qavi Khan with him and dedicated his award to him. Qavi Khan was also one of the nominees for his role in drama serial Aangan (Ary Digital).
Uzma Khan should be thanking Ahmad Ali Butt for saving the day and making her blonde moment into something entertaining.
Watch it here:
Aiman Khan had been hiding her good news from everyone and wasn’t posting a lot of pictures on her social media pages but the fans and followers still guessed that she was expecting. Aiman Khan has not talked about her pregnancy at all but now her baby shower is being held in the most celebrated way possible. Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt saved the disclosure of this good news for this day when they could celebrate this news and announce it the way they wanted. This would finally put an end to all the speculations and it looks like the happy couple is going to be blessed with a baby girl.
Here are some beautiful pictures and videos of the mommy to be and daddy to be along with their guests. Minal Khan is by her sister’s side just like she has been in every important moment of Aiman’s life. The cake says “it’s a girl” and the fans are pouring in their good wishes for the happy couple. Aiman Khan looks beautiful and radiant in a pink dress.

Has Fahad Mustafa replaced big names of Pakistan?
While most of the actors were too busy working in India and taking a break from the Pakistani drama industry some actors just followed their path no matter what, whether it was a game show or dramas or films in Pakistan all they gained was just fame, love and popularity and Fahad Mustafa just outdone everyone in this race by giving hits, blockbusters and with the highest ratings to his game show.
He got his second lux award in 2019 where once it seemed almost impossible for strugglings to get it once, paving the way was its self a task.
And now when they are huge stars, it seems that it’s hard for people to get back to those who took a break, although they are all huge stars but striving through thick and thin took Fahad Mustafa to the top.
In his LSA speech, he dedicated his award to the late director Atif Hussain who once predicted Fahad to be the biggest film actor.
Fahad also thanked Fiza and Nabeel for always raising the bars through their top-notch talent.
Its high time the actors who use to think Pakistan drama or film industry inferior to any Industry must get back to it as its the instant recognition and popularity, no one sees actors when they work in Just India.
Be Pakistani, as it has always given actors pride, higher stature and love. Fahad Mustafa is one big example of making a name in this very industry through his hard work. Young actors should not envy but to work like him, right now
Lux Style Awards are always clouded by controversies due to the script or the extemporal humor that the hosts display while hosting the award show. In Lux Style Awards, the hosts are often seen taking a dig at the celebrities and their personal or professional life choices. Lux Style Awards 2019 was recently held in Karachi and it aired on Geo Entertainment on August 3, 2019. Now that the award function has been aired, different clips and snippets are going viral. These clips are serving as teasers to those who have yet to watch the awards and giving everyone a taste of what to expect from this year’s Lux Style Awards.
Lux Style Awards 2019 was no different. The script that the hosts and co-hosts were handed out was full of humorous jabs and digs at all the actors. Saba Qamar also co-hosted Yasir Hussain for a small segment and the video has gone viral. In this snippet, Saba Qamar is taking about Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt’s wedding functions.
Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt’s wedding was a grand affair and they made sure to include all of their fans in their happiness by sharing each and every little detail with them. Where people blessed the couple with well-wishes, they also garnered a lot of criticism for going over the top and having a never-ending wedding ceremony. In a recent interview with Samina Peerzada, Muneeb Khan did explain that he likes throwing parties and since he was getting married, he made sure to go over the top because this was a once in a lifetime thing and he wanted to make it very special and memorable for himself as well as his wife Aiman.
It seems the opinion of the scriptwriters of Lux Style Awards was not any different from that of all those people who criticized Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt for having such an elaborate wedding. Saba Qamar Zaman co-hosted Yasir Hussain and she is seen clearly making fun of Aiman Muneeb wedding, saying it was the longest film of the year that people got to watch.
The most watched movie of the year was wedding movie of #AimanKhan and #MuneebButt 😆😆 Your thoughts on this? . . . #Scripted #LSA2019 #LuxStyleAwards2019 #SabaQamar #YasirHussain #AimanMuneeb #Aineeb #Lollywood #EntertainmentPopcorn

It is a fact that now this will be brushed off as a joke and humor but it does raise some questions about the double standards of the celebrities like Yasir Hussain. Yasir Hussain is known to be one such media personality who can not take criticism at all. Yasir Hussain always questions people back for questioning his choices and so does Saba Qamar, so them passing judgments and making fun of Aiman and Muneeb Butt’s personal life choices shed light on their double standards.
Controversies and scandals are part and parcel of an actor’s life. In this era of social media, it doesn’t take much for anything to go viral and spread like wildfire. Some actors make sure to stay away from any kind of controversies and in order to do that, they make sure to stay politically correct or calculated in their responses. Some actors on the other hand are unapologetically opinionated and they do not shy away from saying what is in their hearts. Celebrities are always in the limelight so it is very natural for them and the nature of their job to come under scrutiny for everything they say or do. These controversies die down quickly but they do leave an impact and stay embedded as the chapters in the book of an actor’s life.
Saba Qamar Zaman is one of those few actors who has touched the sky and has earned a star status with her immense hard work and persistence. Saba Qamar Zaman is one such actor who does not shy away from saying the truth out loud or sharing what she feels about any given situation. Over the years, Saba has proved that she is unapologetically honest and will never sugarcoat things. She says what she feels and does not care whether her opinions sit well with others or not. Even though Saba Qamar Zaman is focused and she means business, she has often landed herself in scandals and controversies, which revolved around her personal or professional life.
Let’s take a look at the controversies that have been a part of Saba Qamar Zaman’s career:
Saba Qamar has been a part of the Pakistani drama industry for years now. She was invited to morning show hosted by Noor Bukhari named Good Morning Zindagi and there she was asked about her opinion on working with different Bollywood actors. While appearing in the show, Saba stayed true to her nature and she gave unfiltered answers. Saba must’ve had no idea that she will land herself a leading role in a Bollywood movie in the future. Saba was asked about famous Bollywood actors and given some imaginary situations, but she did not have anything nice to say about them.
When asked if Saba will have to reject Hritik Roshan’s proposal, how would she do that, Saba said “she didn’t want a father of two and he’s not her cup of tea”
When asked about working with Emraan Hashmi, Saba said, “she didn’t want mouth cancer”
When Saba was shown Ritesh Deshmukh’s photo, Saba said, “she was an A-lister actor of Pakistan, so she’d only want to work with A-list actors”
When Saba was shown a picture of Salman Khan, she said “He was a chichora and that he didn’t know how to dance”.
Saba Qamar debuted in a Bollywood movie “Hindi Medium”, starring opposite Irrfan Khan. It was released in May, 2017. The Indian media dug deeper into Saba Qamar’s career and past and that is when they found out the clip from Saba Qamar’s interview and they made a huge issue out of it. Saba Qamar was also confronted and questioned about her opinions but she brushed it off jokingly by giving an example of Koffee With Karan, saying what is not stated in that show, similarly what she said was all in good humor and fun. Saba Qamar also took her words back and said Salman Khan is a superstar and he is very humble, why would she say anything like that about him?
In 2014, pictures of Saba Qamar and Hamza Ali Abbasi went viral on the internet and people started speculating whether they were in a relationship or not. Those pictures suggested the obvious because both Saba and Hamza seemed a bit too comfortable with each other. Saba Qamar also posted ‘I love you” on one of Hamza Ali Abbasi’s pictures but later deleted it. When Saba appeared in Tonite with HSY, she refuted all the rumours. Saba said that it was a prank played by Hamza who used her mobile phone and commented that on his own picture using her account. That’s all that Saba Qamar had to say about this controversy. She said they were just good friends but later they both drifted apart.
In 2014, Saba and Hamza’s equation turned sour when Hamza Ali Abbasi took it to the internet and openly spoke against item songs and item girls in Pakistani films. At that time, Saba Qamar had done an item number for the movie Mastani herself and she took offence to Hamza Ali Abbasi’s statement. In a Facebook post, Saba Qamar just mentioned Mardon Ki Meera and further elaborated her point of view in the comment section. That was the final nail in the coffin that both Hamza Ali Abbasi and Saba Qamar will not be friends anymore.
In 2017, Mahira Khan and Osman Khalid Butt performed a rap song at Lux Style Awards. Saba Qamar had boycotted Lux Style Awards citing prejudice against her as one of the biggest reasons. Saba Qamar also stated that now that she had done a movie in Bollywood, she was being treated as a royalty whereas in the past, none of her work was acknowledged or appreciated. In 2017, both Mahira Khan and Saba Qamar debuted in Bollywood movies and both Raees and Hindi Medium did well at the box office. These films gave Mahira and Saba a platform to let everyone know their caliber as actors.
Mahira Khan and Osman Khalid Butt performed the rap and one of the lines of the rap said “kya appki filmain bhi hain 100 crores kamati”. This was all fun and games and it did not look like Mahira Khan was indirectly insulting Saba Qamar. Later when Hindi Medium surpassed Raees’ box office collection, Saba Qamar quoted this line from Mahira Khan’s rap and openly reprimanded it saying she did not like insulting jokes. Mahira Khan had openly wished Saba Qamar good luck and she never once make it look like there was some sort of competition going on between her and Saba. After this post, Saba let it know that she did take it as a competition because everyone on both sides of the border was comparing both Mahira and Saba. This post of Saba also proved that she took that rap personally and later when she got a chance, she got back at Mahira. Osman Khalid Butt, who was the lyricist of this rap took it to his social media and explained the thought process behind this rap.
In 2018, Saba Qamar did a photoshoot and while she was taking a break, someone clicked her pictures and made them viral. In those pictures, Saba Qamar’s clothing as well as her smoking were highlighted and that turned into a huge controversy. Saba Qamar decided to stay silent on this matter but her colleagues and friends from the fraternity like Aijaaz Aslam, Adnan Siddique and Osman Khalid Butt came in support of Saba Qamar. Some of her friends also said that they knew who it was that leaked the pictures and that they will no longer work with them. Saba Qamar was heavily criticized for her choices and trolled badly but she chose to stay silent and did not address this issue.
Humaima Malik and Dua Malik are beautiful sisters of the television industry. They have gained a lot of appreciation because of their strong performance and singing. Dua Malik got married to Sohail Haider and decided to focus on her family while Humaima Malik continued to work. She started her career as a model at a very young age. She walked on the ramp when she was only fourteen years old and ever since she has appeared in fashion shows for numerous designers. Humaima made her debut film in Shoaib Mansoor’s BOL.
Humaima and Dua’s brother Feroze Khan got married last year to Alizey Fatima. She doesn’t belong to the showbiz industry. But after getting married to Feroze khan their wedding pictures went viral all over the internet. People started loving Feroze’s choice and she is nothing less than a celebrity now.
Recently, Alizey along with her sister-in-laws were spotted at a wedding event. All of them looked gorgeous in their outfits. Alizey was wearing a heavy dress with full embroidery while Dua and Humaima were wearing beautiful dresses. Feroze Khan left for performing Hajj. The way they pose for the camera and smile shows how close they are to each other.
May this bond remains strong like this forever. Here are some beautiful pictures of Humaima Malik, Dua Malik and their gorgeous bhabi Alizey Fatima. Have a look!
Upcoming Pakistani Dramas Starring Big Names – There are so many new dramas which the viewers look forward to every year, at the end of every season. Sometimes, the reason for this is that these dramas star their favorite actors and they are directed and written by the best people in the business. There are also those actors who choose the projects they work in really carefully which is why every time they are seen working on a new project, it instantly grabs the attention of the viewers. There are also certain topics which are rarely touched upon in dramas therefore whenever a drama is based on a story which highlights such issues, viewers want to see what the drama makers have to offer. Then there are those dramas with promos so enticing that you can’t help but look forward to them.
Well, one thing is for sure, every drama with a star cast does not guarantee quality entertainment – Aangan being one such recent example. But it is also a fact that people do tune into such dramas at least initially to find out what such dramas have to offer. There are some celebrities who do sell the dramas with their names therefore people watch their dramas just because they are a part of it.
Here are some upcoming dramas with a star cast and then there are those which promise to offer something different. The list is in Alphabetical order.
Drama serial Alif can easily be termed as the most awaited drama of this year. This drama is based on a popular novel written by Umera Ahmed, the drama has been produced by one of the biggest production houses in the country under the banner of Epic Entertainment.
Alif has been directed by Haseeb Hassan and this is a project he is particularly proud of. The drama has been shot in Pakistan and Turkey and it has a star-studded cast. Hamza Ali Abbasi, Sajal Aly, Kubra Khan, Ahsan Khan, Osman Khalid Butt, Sadaf Kanwal, Saleem Mairaj, Javed Sheikh, Samina Peerzada are some of the big names which will seen playing major roles in Alif. The latest news is that Alif will air after Eid.
Hamza Ali Abbasi is excited about this particular project because of the message in this drama. Sajal Aly is equally thrilled to be part of this project. Iqrar-ul-Hassan’s son Pehlaaj Hassan will also be making his acting debut with this drama.
Bheegei Palkein is Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas’ next drama together, although all their dramas together have been more tragic than anything else but there are many viewers who are looking forward to this project, hoping that this time around, these two will get their happy ending! Apart from Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas, Saba Faisal will also be playing a primary role in the drama. This drama has been directed by Ahmed Bhatti and is an iDream Production. Not much has been revealed about it, apart from the fact that it will be airing on ARY. A drama with the same title also aired on Aplus few years back starring Faysal Qureshi and Ushna Shah.
Nadia Jamil is one of my favorite actors not just because of the fact that her acting is so natural but also because she is such a wonderful person who always works in projects which serve a bigger purpose. Nadia Jamil isn’t seen on screen very often so that is another reason why her fans look forward to her projects. In her own words Damsa is going to be, ” the most legendary dramas Pakistan will ever see.” Nadia Jamil also believes that Damsa is the kind of drama that “can truly make a difference in the world.”
Nadia Jamil is truly excited about this project which will be airing on ARY Digital. When someone like her believes so much in a project, there is no reason not to watch it. The drama will highlight the issue of child trafficking.
Jhooti is an upcoming drama serial starring Ahmed Ali Butt, who is known for his wit and comic timing but this time around he will be seen playing a serious role alongside Iqra Aziz, who won the viewers over completely with her performance in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. Sharing details about his character and the story in general, Ahmed Ali Butt said that he will be playing the role of a shop owner, a man who works hard to make ends meet but is in a troubled marriage because his wife (Iqra Aziz) is a compulsive liar.
Ahmed Ali Butt will hence be the perfect husband who has to cope with a complicated relationship. The play has been written by Ali Moeen, directed by Ramish Rizvi and also stars Asma Abbas, Abid Ali and Yasir Hussein. It would be interesting watching Ahmed Ali Butt in a serious role but I also hope that this won’t be another Balaa since while talking to The News, Ahmed Ali Butt shared, “There are some major shockers in the play and how my character is affected by them.” The most interesting bit is that so far only Ahmed Ali Butt has been talking about this drama and Iqra Aziz has not shared her views at all!
Mere Pass Tum Ho’s script has been written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, it has been directed by the iconic director Nadeem Baig and this drama has been produced by Six Sigma Plus. Humayun Saeed and Ayeza Khan will be playing leading roles in Mere Pass Tum Ho. Asad Siddiqui, Hira Mani and Asad Khan will also be seen playing supporting roles in the drama. Mere Pass Tum Ho will be airing on 17th August on ARY Digital. The promos are already out and even though these promos are giving Mere Khawab Reza Reza and Khasara feel but it is good to see Humayun Saeed playing a role which seems quite similar to the one he played in Doraha – a lower middle class man who is doing his best to keep it all together.
Humayun Saeed was absolutely brilliant as Mohid in Dillagi therefore watching him play another role in which he is head over heels with his wife would be a treat. Ayeza Khan will be playing the thankless and greedy wife, definitely not a new character but the fact that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has written the script and Nadeem Baig has directed this play is bound to make a huge difference. I am looking forward to this play and even with the been-there-seen-that feel, Mere Pass Tum Ho’s promos have a definite appeal.

Drama serial Prem Gali is Aangan’s sequel, it will have some of the old characters and few new ones but the central theme will more or less be the same. This script is really close to Faiza iftikhar’s heart, it has been directed by the same director who was behind Aangan i.e Qasim Ali Mureed and it has been produced by Six Sigma Plus. Farhan Saeed and Sohai Ali Abro are the latest addition in this sequel.
The team Prem Gali is not revealing a lot of details about the rest of the cast or the story but the fact that this is the sequel of one of the best dramas we have seen in recent times makes it one of the most promising upcoming dramas. The shooting for the drama has only started but it is definitely the kind of drama which would be worth the wait.

The new on-screen couple of Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar has been in the news for their upcoming movie Paray Hut Love which is releasing on Eid al Azha, this year. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar are heavily promoting their movie, not only on different channels and talk shows but also on their social media handles.
Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar’s friendship is budding and they both are seen interacting with each other over their social media posts all the time. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar appeared in Bol Nights With Ahsan Khan recently to promote Paray Hut Love and when asked, Maya Ali didn’t shy away from confessing that she had a crush on Shehryar Munawwar. This has given a new dimension to the way people are viewing their friendship with each other. While working together, it was natural for them to become closer and friendlier with each other but now, it is worth noticing whether their open and frequent interactions has another meaning to it or not. Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar are seen constantly praising each other and they seem too friendly and comfortable with each other, be it on-screen or off-screen.
Shehryar Munawwar has recently unfollowed his fiancee Hala Soomro’s instagram account and rumour has it that may be he has called this engagement off.
Are Maya Ali and Shehryar Munawwar the new potential couple, only time will tell but for now, they have invited all kinds of speculations towards themselves. Maya Ali has always been very friendly and cordial with all of her co-actors, be it Osman Khalid Butt or Ali Zafar, so her friendship with Shehryar Munawwar was coming naturally to her fans but now with her recent confession, everyone is speculating if Shehryar Munawwar is more than just a friend to Maya Ali. They have everyone thinking that may be the reason behind Sheheyar drifting away from his fiancee Hala is this new formed relationship with Maya Ali?
Veteran actor Firdous Jamal, who has recently seen in TV serials ’Romeo weds Heer’ and ’Hania’ threw some major shades at gorgeous Mahira Khan. In an interview with Faisal Qureshi, Firdous Jamal was asked to make a comment about Mahira khan to which he said that she is a mediocre actress. According to him, Mahira was overage for a heroine. He also added that she should start playing the role of a mother and not the main heroine.

Faisal Quershi was shocked to hear such rude comments from Firdous Jamal but stayed quiet because Firdous was a senior actor and he didn’t want to disrespect any of his guests. Although he didn’t react on the show, he took to Twitter to disassociate himself from Firdous Jamal’s comments.
He said that he and his show had nothing to do with Firdous Jamal’s opinion. It was his personal thoughts but for Faisal, Mahira Khan is a superstar. He said that he praised Mahira 1000 times on his show but no one noticed that!

Firdous Jamal has come under fire for his remarks. Many actors support him but there are many who are on Mahira’s side. What are your thoughts about the whole story? Who do you support, Mahira or Firdous?

After relase of Cake, Teefa in Trouble, JPNA 2, Load Wedding and so many more Pakistani films in 2018 which entertained the public. Following that, 2019 has more for us.
Here we go with the upcoming Pakistani movies which you can add in your list.
Here is amazing trailer for viewers:
Superstar is an upcoming romantic drama film, starring Bilal Ashraf and Mahira Khan. It is directed by Mohammed Ehteshamuddin, produced by Momina and Duraid films, and the music and screenplay are by Azaan Sami Khan. The story of the film follows Noori, an actress (played by Mahira Khan), her stardom and romance.
Heer Maan Ja trailer is finally here and now we know it’s not just a different kind of runaway bride movie.There’s a family feud, and an ex-flame involved. And things get way more chaotic from here.
Heer Maan Ja is an upcoming Pakistani romantic comedy film, directed by Azfar Jafri. The film is produced by Imran Raza Kazmi under the banner of IRK Films; the film is distributed by the Distribution Club. The film stars Ali Rehman Khan, and Hareem Farooq in the lead roles, alongside Faizan Shaikh, Shamayale Khattak, Sami Khan and Mojiz Hasan in the supporting roles. The film is scheduled for release on 12 August 2019, on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha
This was another well paced episode of Inkaar which covered every little detail and emotion with utmost precision. The performances and the execution never disappoint and the script throughout has been faultless. Just when Hajra and Shayan thought that their ultimate sacrifice will prove to be a good trade-off, the other side exercised their influence and the balance of power shifted in their favor. Imran Ashraf’s performance tonight too was on point and Yumna Zaidi has done exceptionally well throughout. This drama continues to be real but never gets too dark since there is always hope that things will eventually work in Hajra’s favor.
Every episode of this drama shows the characters in some conflicting situation. The manner in which these characters deal with these conflicts reveals more about their personalities. Shayan’s unconditional love for Hajra continues to be the most admirable aspect of his personality. This episode opened with a scene which showed Hajra struggling – saying yes would have meant letting her mother down and putting her brother’s life in danger and saying no would have meant going against her heart’s desire and not fulfilling the promise she made to her father. Hajra ultimately said yes after her father in a way reminded her of the promise she had made. This scene was directed so well, Hajra’s hesitation, her father’s strength and her mother’s breakdown – all of these made perfect sense.
I also loved the way Shayan asked Hajra if she entered into this nikkah with her own consent or was it because of her father’s pressure. On the one hand we have a man like Rehan, who doesn’t know the first thing about consent and on the other hand we have a man like Shayan who doesn’t want the woman who he loves so dearly to be in his life without her free consent. It was Hajra’s reply which gave Shayan even more strength and later on The conditions Rehan set for Jawad’s release made Shayan in particular do something he was never willing to do.
Honestly speaking, I am glad that Shayan’s father was not able to help him and ultimately this case will be decided in the court. This meant that Shayan and Hajra were free to be together, live their lives the way they wanted to and fight this war together.
Rehan is no longer the ‘love stricken’ desperate man he was before. The way he insulted Hajra and asked for an apology on social media clearly showed that he was now more influenced by his stepmother than ever before. He wants Hajra to look bad in front of the world while he automatically becomes the victim. Rehan’s character has been etched-out so well, he is twisted and disturbed, he has no values and no conscience and surely someone like him could only do something as horrific as he did to Hajra. Imran Ashraf has been outstanding as Rehan especially in these past few weeks. He makes you understand and relate to his character and as a consequence you can’t help but hate Rehan Chaudhry. He also helps the viewers understand the mindset of all such men who think they own the women who are or have ever been with them.
The attention to detail and the pace of this show has been superb throughout. The war between politics and bureaucracy was also covered in a realistic and interesting manner in this episode. The preview of the next episode was especially exciting! I was pretty sure that sooner or later, this case was going to go the court and that is where the story is headed. I am also hoping that at some point the CCTV footage will surface and that will make Hajra’s case stronger. Rehan’s frustration and the judge’s remarks in the preview of the next episode showed that this time around things will work in Hajra’s favor.
How many of you watched tonight’s episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
In the past week, repression in Indian occupied Kashmir has increased. Kashmir has been lockdown. Army has take over schools, colleges, businesses and offices.
There is an internet blockade and communication blackout. Preceding to this situation political leaders, activists and even journalists have been detained. The troops are patrolling on the streets and people continue to be locked in their homes after a curfew was declared.
Pakistani artists have raised their voice against bleeding in Kashmir. Celebrities like Mahira Khan, Kubra Khan, Shaan Shahid, Mehwish Hayat, Hareem Farooq, Feroze Khan and many others have twitted about this whole scenario.
Have we conveniently blocked what we don’t want to address? This is beyond lines drawn on sand, it’s about innocent lives being lost! Heaven is burning and we silently weep. #Istandwithkashmir #kashmirbleeds

The use of cluster bombs in Kashmir is in clear violation of the Geneva Convention. There is no justification for it whatsoever. These are simple war crimes – the world has to wake up and put a stop to these atrocities NOW! #SaveKashmirSOS #KashmirBleeds

Occupying #Kashmir with a force of One Million, putting the entire state under curfew like situation and invoking #Article370 clearly show that Kashmir is being annexed forcefully.
Meanwhile, the @UN 's role is a reminder of that of the League of Nations.#StandwithKashmir— VEENA MALIK (@iVeenaKhan) August 5, 2019
Hamza Ali Abbassi, Shaan Shahid and Veena Malik have taken twitter trend of #KashmirBleeds to next level. The celebrities have been found tweeting some serious fact and figures about on going lynching of Kashmiris.
It seems that our Superstars have decided to contribute for a better cause than just social media cat fights where Veena Malik as always blatantly shown the Middle finger to India for Kashmiris literally won our hearts and caused hurt to Indian public.
Where as Shaan Shahid tweeted Modi’s picture taking bath in Ganges and purifying the sins.
Also he said,
“Our family has been spreading the message of #freeKashmir from the brutalities of India since 1971.”
And its not just about Shan Shahid and Veena malik, Hamza Ali abbassi is leading the league with most of the tweets just stating lethal facts about the brutality of Indian army on Kashmiri people.
He urged celebrities to join the cause just right now,
Hareem Farooq also joined squad by tweeting responsibly.
Saba qamar and Faysal Quraishi has also tweeted about it. Mishi Khan was also one of those celebrities who did not hold back.
It’s high time our celebrities should not care about the fans and followers but think of the cause and its sensitivity.
Dramas entertain and enlighten at the same time, the media in general and the dramas in particular can play a major role in changing mindsets and highlighting issues which are considered tabooed. There are also those sections of our society which are largely put into boxes and some of these dramas challenge stereotypes in the most impeccable manner. while some drama focus specifically on subjects and scenarios which guarantee commercial success, there are others which have a definite focus and a bigger purpose. Unfortunately, there are also those dramas which are promoted as issue-based dramas but the actual intent is to grab the attention of the viewers by using topics such as sexual abuse and domestic violence. Sadly enough, most of the times these dramas which simply ‘use’ these serious issues to grab public attention get more viewership than those dramas which actually deliver what they promised.
Through this article I want to appreciate the efforts of all those writers, directors and actors who chose to be part of projects which were ‘risky’ and succeeded in highlighting issues which are crucial and relevant. Anyone can play it safe and win TRPs but it takes someone truly dedicated to write about topics which are controversial and tabooed.
Here is the list of the most phenomenal recent Pakistani dramas which highlighted important issues. The list is in Alphabetical order.

Baba Jani questioned many stereotypes and gave the viewers an unconventional hero. The viewers get to see plenty of dramas which highlight the plight of women – the challenges they face and how hard it gets for women to juggle so many different things at the same time. Baba Jani was one of the very few dramas which showed how challenging it was for a man to keep a balance when he was being pressurized from every direction. The best aspect of this play was that it showed a man who actually managed to keep it all together unlike other dramas which very often show that a man in such a situation sometimes ends up being unfair to his parents/siblings and most often to his wife and children.
This drama also showed how this man, Asfand, raised his step-daughter as his own even though he was under great pressure. Baba Jani also highlighted the role of the society and how people make things more difficult for others by gossiping about things which don’t concern them. The way his sisters’ role was shown was also important because it must have given all such sisters something to reflect upon. Do we expect too much from our brothers and sons sometimes? Men are always expected to be strong, to be the support system of the entire family but is it really easy for them to keep a balance? Well, Baba Jani raised all these questions and answered them beautifully too. This drama also presented an example for all those men out there who very often expect their wives to compromise and fail to keep the balance.

Inkaar is one of the most phenomenal dramas of recent times because of its approach towards issues which are not just relevant but have also been put forward in the most convincing manner. This drama has so much to offer since every issue raised in this drama has been addressed in detail. The central idea of this drama is to highlight the importance of consent in a relationship. Very often we see rape victims being held accountable for the injustice done to them because they were raped by the man who was their ‘friends’. Apart from this, Inkaar also highlights a woman’s right to choose her own spouse, her prerogative to say no when she deems it fit. This drama has beautifully shown how important it is for girls to take a stand for themselves even when they feel that they will face opposition and oppression.
Inkaar is not the first drama which has dealt with such an issue but it is definitely the first one which has done so with utmost precision. The writer has done a special favor to his viewers by making them understand why men like Rehan think that they ‘own’ the women/girls they are in a relationship with. It also highlights the importance of nurturing – no one is born evil, the way someone is brought up plays a major role in defining their personalities. This drama also shows how important it is for the families to support girls who have been wronged and it does so while keeping things real. Inkaar raises issues, highlights mindsets and is also inspirational.

Mera Rab Waris can easily be termed as a commercial play but the main protagonist of this play and the way her trials have been shown highlights an important and relevant issue. All those women out there who observe strict pardah can probably relate to whatever Ayesha has gone through and is going through since right from the first episode her pardah has been the main topic of discussion. The way Ayesha sticks to her values, is sure about her choices and tries her best to remove stereotypes has been the best part of a drama which isn’t as good as rest of the dramas in this list but definitely deserves a spot here. Social stereotyping is something which most women face on daily basis, most often based on what they choose to wear. There aren’t a lot of dramas which address such issues. This drama does so with precision and shows the vulnerabilities and strengths of the main protagonist beautifully making the story more relatable. It shows that sometimes women who observe pardah and have a certain set of values face more challenges than women who decide to follow a path which more acceptable socially. This drama also shows the hypocrisy of the society and their inability to accept individual choices.

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was an exceptional play which was both entertaining as well as educational. Through this play and the character Bhola, the writer told the story of all such people out there who are most often ignored by people because there are certain stereotypes attached to them. People with special needs who are often seen on the streets are most often scorned off or are treated as individuals who are void of feelings. By introducing a man with special needs in this drama in such a way that people couldn’t help falling in love with him, the team of this play changed this perception forever. This drama also highlighted how people with such needs or disabilities also need acceptance and love, just like everyone else out there. Therefore, when they are rejected, they feel hurt just like anyone else would.
Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was truly one-of-a-kind drama which redefined the term ‘hero’ and in a very intelligent manner asked people to have more empathy for people like Bhola. This was dangerous territory for sure but Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was a commercial success and it got critical acclaim as well.

Zun Mureed was a different journey altogether. This was not the first time that a drama which dealt with the problems which women face in a male dominated society was made. This was however the first time that a writer attempted and succeeded in shedding light on the issue that making laws is not enough, ensuring that they get implemented swiftly and most importantly changing the mindset of the people is the biggest challenge. The main protagonist Tabbasum’s journey throughout showed that she had more critics than supporters. On the other hand, there were so many people who endorsed what her husband Sajjad did. This drama showed how important it was for women to respect themselves and not to allow their spouses to abuse them in any way.
There was an important message for men in this drama too and it was one which most certainly was not easy to accept. This is the reason why this drama was criticized a lot too! Relationships come first and ego comes second, if people start sacrificing their relationships to satisfy their egos than the fate which awaits their children was clearly shown in this drama. For all those receptive viewers out there, this drama had a great deal to offer. This was the kind of drama which raised quite a few important questions but at the same answered some too! I truly appreciate the way it was shown how the children get affected in such a situation. Children need their parents to work together in order to run the house and make them feel secured. So many stereotypes were challenged in Zun Mureed and the mentality behind hitting women was explored as well. The most important aspect was that the last episode highlighted how vital equality and respect was in a marriage.
Do share your thoughts about the dramas in this list and don’t forget to add more names of recent dramas which highlighted an important message with utmost clarity. I will look forward to your feedback.

Starting his acting career in 2016, Bilal Abbas Khan in a short period of three years has arguably become one of the most talented actors in the industry, ruling the hearts of Pakistani drama lovers with his stylish looks and fine acting. He has received the award for the Best Actor in Social Media Awards for Balaa and has always received many praises for his work.
This time around this good-looking celebrity chose to use his devil-may-care looks to play the antagonist in ARY Digital’s currently aired drama serial ‘Cheekh’. The serial has kept the audience gripped to its storyline from the very first episode, and Bilal Abbas Khan is one of the biggest reasons for its success. 28 episodes down, there are numerous scenes which are a visual example of his excellent acting skills, making us hate Wajih to the core, yet appreciate the convincing skills displayed by Bilal Abbas Khan.
Here are some of the scenes where Bilal single handedly stole the show:
6th episode is whenWajih confessesto being Nayab’s murderer in front of his bhabiMannat and his character within a second switches from a loveable hero, to the villain. It is surely one of the most intense and intriguing scenes of the serial till date. It requires a lot of acting precision to show this change within a single scene, and the anger, ego and lust in Wajihwas nailed by Bilal. His dialogue delivery in addition was a cherry on the top.
Just after the truth gets revealed, there is a humongous change in innocent’s Wajih’s personality, whose presence only is generating negative vibes now. A part in episode 7 where Wajih goes to Ramzan Ahmed’s house to bribe them to stay quiet, caught our attention. Ramzan Ahmed is furiously shouting at him, asking him to leave, calling him a murderer,andWajihin return is absolutely calm. Unperturbed, he just keeps increasing the amountof money, knowing how it’ll be easy to manipulate Nayab’s step-mother with it. The scene showcases aspectacular performance by Bilal. The way he is unruffled and composed throughout, all the while managing to radiate an evil energy from him, is acting on-point!
A scene in the same episodearrives whenRamzan Ahmedsneakily gets into their house and throws black ink on Wajih’s face before running away. The scene has no dialogues from Wajih, but the anger in his eyes is enough to grasp the audience’s attention and nonverbally perfectly communicate his sentiments at the moment. If you watch it, you wouldn’t be able to take your eyes off him!
The best thing about Bilal Abbas Khan is that the versatility in his acting can be witnessed easily in any particular scene: where at the beginning of the episode he might seem like the sweetest person on earth, the scene progresses and his reality comes forth in a brilliant show of acting excellence.
An example can be seen in episode 17 and 18, where the innocent looking Wajih with the help of his naïve looks successfullyfoolsMannat’s mother and locks her inside a store room. Wajih turns into a terrifying blackmailer, and his expressions can literally generate shivers in you!
Bilal has managed to depictWajih as the most heartless creature that can ever exist. The chunk in Episode 19 where Wajih drives behind Mannat, resulting in her fall and the eventual miscarriage was painful to the core, but Wajih’spitiless nature is highlighted perfectly.
The antagonist of the serial and the man with nerves of steel, moving towards the end of the serial cracks up as well, showing transition in his personality a third time in one drama serial! Not just a scene, but the whole of episode 26 is a visual representation of it. Wajih unintentionally killing his brotherbrings a drastic change in his demeanor and the confession of this murder in front of Yawar is surely a scene that many of us have watched twice! The agony in him for the loss of his brother, mixed with the villainous vibe in his character is a trait very difficult to pull off, and Bilal Abbas Khan totally stole the show with it.
Before episode 28 was aired, we had witness all kinds of expressions from Wajih – cute concern, indifference, villainous attitude, and even fear. The one thing we never imagined on his face, was to see worry. And we finally get to see it then moment he gets to know that his elder brother, his one support, has gotten paralyzed. That’s where we see an unexpected helplessness and love from Wajih for his brother, and the contrast in his personality was mesmerizing to watch.
With Cheekh now moving towards itsconclusion, the viewers anxiously are waiting to see how justice will be served. Bilal with his phenomenal performance has made Wajih the biggest antagonist of the year.
