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
Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Ali Faizan Anchan
Producer: Connect Studios
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
Writer: Jahanzeb Qamar
Director: Asad Jabbal
Producer: 7th Sky Entertainment
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
Writer: Amna Mufti
Director: Ahmed Kamran
Producer: Moomal Entertainment
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.
Urwa and Mawra shared exciting news at the start of this year on social media. The sister duo posted a series of pictures on Instagram and announced the launch of their clothing line ’UXM’. The siblings, who are one-year apart, have been each other’s support system from the start. Many people think that they are twins but they are not!
Their brand features western dresses and cute accessories. They have been spotted wearing their own products much time. The tagline of their brand is an empowering one, called ’girls who can’. This is for the girls who dare to live their life on their own terms in this beautiful world.
Recently, Urwa and Mawra were spotted on the set of ’Good morning Pakistan’ with Nida Yasir. The show was all about UXM. They presented their collection on-screen for the first time. They wanted to show their fans what they are offering and why they should choose them.
Both looked stunning in their own collection. Urwa and Mawra wore white color shirts with light blue jeans and looked alike. Hope they get success in their clothing line as much as they are successfully for their tremendous acting.
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:
1. The Sudden Transition from a Doting Brother, to a Murderer:
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.
2. The Moment he Calmly Bribes Nayab’s Frustrated Father
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!
3. A Silent Wajih with Black Ink Smeared all over him:
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!
4. Wajih – the Blackmailer
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!
5. Killing Mannat’s Child
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.
6. The Turning of Tables For Wajih
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.
7. Frustration and Worry Finally Catches Up to Wajih
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.

Banning an actor sets dangerous example- said Osman Khalid Butt
Butt posted a lengthy note on twitter on this whole controversy. After Momina Duraid swear to never work with actor Firdous Jamal for his comments about Mahira Khan, the actor tweeted about this. In his tweet, he shared his feelings that banning actors for their opinions set a very dangerous example.
“Because than your outrage cannot remain selective.”
Butt took on this matter by saying, “Banning an actor for his opinion, however, distasteful said opinion might be, sets a rather dangerous precedent. Because then your outrage cannot remain selective,” he wrote, reminding his colleagues that they have all been on talk shows where they’ve been asked to rate their peers’ acting skills, fashion sense and personality. “This isn’t the first-time clips have trended where controversial statements have been made, and it won’t be the last.”
“Unless this culture of (consciously or subconsciously) pitting actor against actor ends. If we stop giving fodder to gossip columns, refuse to indulge in these pictorial ‘assessments’, if instead of being at each other’s throats we show a united, welcoming front,” he added further.
And he isn’t suggesting lying through their teeth when it comes to publicly sharing their opinion, but criticism can be constructive instead of flagrantly dismissive, no?
Osman added, “Problematic behavior should and must be called out. But you cannot play at extremes either way.”
He concluded, “And finally, because this is important, I’ll quote something I read on a comic strip once: ‘freedom of speech doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences.’ Choosing not to work with someone because of their opinions is not a violation of their free speech rights. Dismissing their contribution to our industry, though, is regrettable,”
When I started working in the industry, my father didn’t speak to me for straight 8 years- said Maya Ali
Maya Ali is a Pakistani actress, model and VJ, mostly known for her roles in Pakistani television serials. She made her film debut with 2018 action drama film Teefa in trouble opposite Ali Zafar.
Maya Ali has recently spoke to BBC Asian Network and shared her struggles with her family to get approval for working in industry. When I joined industry, my father stopped talking to me for 8 years, I miss that factor. I wish he would talk to me, he would get mad at me, anything. I remember I would say ‘Baba Assalamalaikum, and he’d never even reply’
She requested to all parents and said,’ I’m not saying your child only wants to become an actor. If they want to do something else, please let them do it. I beg of you. Give them a chance to do what they want. Don’t let your child regret that they only had that chance. Because time waits for no one and that’s when there’s a regret in life for the children.’
She further said before her father died, he came to peace with her career choice.
‘I wish he was there, he would appreciate me. I remember 6 months before, before he died. He just said one thing to me, I couldn’t win an award for Diyar-e-dil, he said it’s okay beta, next year you’ll win it for Man Mayal. I won the award next year, but he wasn’t there to celebrate it with me.’
She also added, “My mum has always been supportive of me but, Baba just wanted me to prove myself to him. I just wanted to show him myself playing roles through the screen but, the fact that he said you will win the award next year, that was enough for me.”
Ohkay so, this episode of Cheekh was interesting. I have now developed an interest in this drama because I am so glad that it is finally ending. Also, it is good that they have started wrapping the story up in this episode, which means that the last episode won’t seem too rushed or illogically paced.
Wajih Is Bound To Doom:
Mannat had finally made up her mind that she will draw Wajih crazy. Mannat is not alone, she now has Shariq’s support too. At first I thought Shariq was doing all of that on his own but as the episode progressed, it was made clear that both Shariq & Mannat had joined hands to bring Wajih behind bars. Mannat has fabricated her entire plan with a lot of thought & detailing, which is nice. I wish instead of showing that everything was just happening out of whim, they had shown Mannat actually planning something properly. A conversation with Shariq would have sufficed too.
Shariq decided to give Wajih a taste of his own medicine by teasing him that he was going to harm Haya. That was actually a nice twist because I didn’t actually think that SHariq will later get married to Haya. Shariq did get married because he knew that Haya was innocent & that she needed some security as one of her brothers passed away, the other one got paralyzed & the youngest was now going to go behind bars. Haya got married & she totally understood the reasons why Shariq did that little act to actually make Wajih realize how Nayab must’ve felt too. Yawar is guilty & he is full of regrets but he knows that he is paying the price for supporting a criminal like Wajih.
So, slowly & steadily, just because everyone has realized that Wajih should be punished, they all have now started supporting Mannat. Saleem, Sadiq, Shariq are working alongside Mannat to help her accomplish her mission of not only driving Wajih crazy but punishing him too so that he pays the price for the heinous crime that he has committed. Wajih has also started to realize that things are turning against him but he was still putting up a brave face thinking he will be able to turn things in his favor yet again but he is mistaken, because the drama ends next week, lol! It was good that everyone was helping Mannat. Sadiq was always the conscious one but he changed Saleem’s thinking as well, that is why now Saleem was doing all that Mannat was asking him to do.
Closing Thoughts – Mannat Will Win:
Overall, this episode of Cheekh was a good one after a very long time. I remembered that Amir Khan was also an interesting character but then he was forgotten for a long time now, but he came back. Obviously Mannat & Shariq recorded everything that he confessed & they will use it against him. As Aqilzada said that Mannat is now going to fight the case on her own & she will obviously win. I wonder why didn’t all of this happened when the actual case was in court but chalo, better late than never. I know people are raving about Saba Qamar’s acting, which obviously is well-deserved but I will definitely say that Aijaz Aslam has been phenomenal in Cheekh throughout. Even now as a paralyzed character, he has done a brilliant acting. Good to see him performing outstandingly after a long long time. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh.

The second season of much popular web series is here, and we can’t be more excited!
Sacred Games is ruling the internet with great story, plot and its amazing actors. Netflix took Instagram to announce the second season will premiere on Independence day.
Based on the novel of the same name by Vikram Chandra, Sacred Games is Netflix India’s first original web series. The storyline follows Sartaj Singh, a Mumbai-based cop who is wonderfully human but a big mess and Ganesh Gaitonde is played by the one and only Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He has the most violent plans in his mind which might ruin the city.
The trailer for season two was released on July 16, and fans are going crazy about it. It is going to release on Netflix on August 15 and is expected to have eight episodes in total.
In an interview with PTI, Saif said, “he has lost a lot of blood, he is not eating much. He is running around a lot and he is not happy. There is a lot of drama and action happening”
After watching the trailer for season two, we believe it.
The season two has two more new characters including, Kalki Koechlin and Ranvir Shorey. Netflix announced that Kalki will embody Batya Abelman, a ‘lost soul who comes from a conflicting background’ (her father is Jewish-French and mother, who abandoned her, is Palestinian). Her journey of transforming from a rebellious and angry teenager with a drug addiction to a calm woman, under the guidance of Guruji.
Koechlin says, “Personally, I am a fan of the series, and it is super awesome to be a part of the Sacred Games and Netflix family. Season two promises to be much more exciting and I cannot wait for viewers to watch me in the series.”
Ranvir Shorey will play Shahid Khan. He reveals, “The digital platform is so empowering and working on this audience-favorite show has been an absolute delight! My character in Sacred Games 2, Shahid Khan, is a complete departure from any of the roles I’ve played before, and I’m looking forward to fans across the world bingeing on the new season.”
The new season will be much more twisted than the first one and the team is confident about it. It is so cleverly done, it goes back to the past and future and everything ties up. The previous season was quite basic. In season one you know about them, but in season two you are up to it. Saif Ali Khan has revealed that this season will also explore more about Sartaj’s family background and his father, who had an unexpected connection with Gaitonde. He says, “While season one set the stage, this season develops it further, and deals more with the inner workings of Sartaj’s mind, personality, background, family and father. It’s a logical progression; there’s a little more action, there’s a little more speed and drama, and it’s also when the whole sacred angle comes in.”
Sacred games is releasing second season on Netflix on August 15.
Ohkay so, these two episodes of Meer Abru were brilliant as usual. While watching these episodes, I could totally feel that they were now wrapping the story up & getting us ready for the final episodes. This drama has been such an amazing journey & I was wondering how much they have showed us in these episodes that it just doesn’t feel like we have watched this drama for so long. Meer Abru is a quality entertainment & I am sure once it will end, I will watch its rerun!
The Luck Is On Abru’s Side:
Abru had everything working in her favor. Even though Abru tried to backtrack from quite a lot of things that were being dished out to her, because she wanted to prove things to Zaibi, Haya & even Waleed, she had no idea that Jamal & Meer were adamant to give her the status & position she deserved. Abru has been through so much but she has picked herself up. However, she still is emotional & gets overwhelmed thinking about Saim. Abru finally came back to Saim’s home & she remembered that everything was just the same but it still wasn’t because Saim was not there anymore. I liked how Jamal & Abru had a conversation but then Jamal knew exactly what Abru was going through mentally & emotionally. Abru has to prove herself & her innocence to everyone in the family who doubts her intentions & this is why Jamal just wanted to do everything properly to put a message across that Abru was not going anywhere.
Jamal found out about Waleed & before confronting him or Zaibi, he decided to do things right. Jamal has now gotten totally involved in the business because he can not see it getting ruined because of his wife’s selfish reasons. Jamal & Meer are on the same page & it was nice to see that Jamal had confidence in Meer that he won’t do anything wrong from now on. Meer has done everything to redeem himself & that is something that even Jamal acknowledges but when it comes to terrible trio as well as Abru, they are still not too convinced about Meer & his changed attitude.
One of the most interesting things that happened in this episode was the change in Waleed’s behavior. He started putting two & two together only to find out that his mother was lying to him as well as Haya. Haya thought she was securing her place in this home by going against Abru but little did she know that Zaibi was against her too. Haya insulted Abru yet again but then, it turned out to be another favorable situation for Abru because then Waleed & Haya got to see the real picture & understood that Zaibi had been lying to them all along.
Maha’s reentry was another blessing for Abru because she told Waleed & Haya everything that they wanted to know about Zaibi. Maha actually exposed Zaibi in front of Waleed & Haya but they didn’t confront her just yet. Zaibi has totally lost the sense of right & wrong, that is why she couldn’t stand the fact that Waleed was now trying to lead a normal & happy life with Haya. I am not too keen on Waleed because he was shown to be like this, he was emotional & someone who didn’t really think much or analyze things but when it comes to Haya, I am not going to ever like her character ever again. Now Haya will make sure to seek forgiveness from Abru but then, I don’t think she deserves to be forgiven because she had seen how Abru was always a mother figure to both Sana & her, so for Haya to actually go against Abru & judge her, based on a little bit of brain feeding makes her a bizarre character!
Sana’s involvement in this entire equation was very interesting. I really love how she always makes sure to uplift Abru when she is feeling down & always lends emotional support to her. Sana had started to feel that Meer loved Abru & she wanted to know more about it but then Abru silenced her. Sana had a chance to speak to Meer directly. It was nice to see Meer coming to rescue Sana, it was now Meer was being a brother figure to Abru’s sisters just like Saim used to be. Meer helped Sana but then yet again, Abru misconstrued & Meer didn’t tell her what the truth was until Sana did. Abru had slowly & steadily started to see the difference there was in Meer’s attitude. How he had changed & how he was going out of the way to do things right. Abru will slowly realize that her feelings for Meer had never died & they will resurface yet again & I can’t wait to see that happen.
Closing Thoughts – Complete Drama:
Meer Abru is such a complete & perfect drama. It has so many flavors & that is what has made this journey so interesting to watch. I have absolutely loved Abru’s character & it is a treat to see such a dignified female lead like Abru in a Pakistani drama. The actors have done a brilliant job in elevating the level of this drama, just everything about Meer ABru is absolutely perfect. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.
Hum TV is one of the leading channels of Pakistan. They paved their way to success by reviving the Pakistani dramas which were suffering during the mid 2000’s when everyone was watching Star Plus dramas. Hum TV is run by Sultana Siddique, Moomal Shunaid and Momina Duraid. These are three leading ladies that are behind every drama that goes into production under the banner of Hum TV.
In the last couple of decades, Hum TV has produced some superhit dramas and as a result, those dramas have given out some big names to the industry. Hum TV’s constant support has earned these actors massive popularity and star status. Among those stars, the biggest names are Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. Although it is good to see Hum TV going out of the way to promote new talent but the precedent they are setting to achieve that is wrong on so many levels. Channel heads like Sultana Siddique and Momina Duraid have proved it time and again that they will do anything to please their favorite stars. The drama industry evolves but in the field of arts, newcomers learn the craft and skills from their seniors who have left behind their legacies. Hum TV has time and again proved that at the expense of senior and veteran actors, they will do what it takes to please the stars from their lobby.
These are the look at the two major incidents which show how Hum TV has disrespected the legends:
Badar Khalil And Fawad Khan (2014)
In 2014, Badar Khalil was invited to attend Hum Awards as she was receiving The Lifetime Achievement Award. After the function, she let everyone know how Sultana Siddiqui humiliated her, only to accommodate Fawad Khan. Badar Khalil clearly stated that it was not Fawad Khan’s fault to demand to be seated in the front row. According to Badar Khalil, she could hear Fawad Khan on the phone call to Sultana Siddique, where he told her that he will not attend the function if he will not be seated in the front row. Sultana Siddiqui asked Badar Khalil to vacant her seat and sit somewhere else. Badar Khalil left the award she had received on the seat and chose to walk out of the function. Badar Khalil left for Canada after this incident, but after she came back, she spoke to Faysal Qureshi in detail and explained what had happened. She stated again that it was not Fawad Khan’s fault, however it was the responsibility of Sultana Siddique to make sure to not hurt her or Fawad’s feelings. Badar Khalil said that Sultana Siddiqui’s daughter in law Momina Duraid was also seated next to her, but she didn’t ask her for a favor, rather told Badar Khalil to do so.
This entire statement of Badar Khalil sparked a debate back then and almost everyone came in support of Fawad Khan. Very few actors spoke in favor of Badar Khalil. She also compared the treatment she received when she got the same Lifetime Achievement Award from PTV. Badar Khalil has given 50 years to the industry but the owners of Hum TV made it very obvious that for them, the fresh talent was far more important than these of legends of the industry. No apologies were issued by Sultana Siddiqui to Badar Khalil. Sadaf Fawad claimed that everything that Badar Khalil told was a lie.
Firdous Jamal and Mahira Khan (2019)
In Faysal Qureshi’s show Salam Zindagi, Firdous Jamal shared his opinions about Mahira Khan and that sparked a huge controversy. A lot of actors like Asma Abbas, Gohar Rasheed, Mawra Hocane, Fahad Mustafa, Shehryar Munawwar, Humayun Saeed etc have spoken in favor of Mahira Khan and they all were of the opinion that being a senior actor, Firdous Jamal should not have passed such remarks about his junior. Mahira Khan didn’t say much but posted a hand-written letter where she spoke about spreading love. Mahira Khan got a good response for tackling this issue with maturity.
This entire controversy took an ugly turn when Momina Duraid of Hum TV shared her sentiments and clearly told that she was putting a ban on Firdous Jamal. According to Momina Duraid, she is ashamed of the fact that Firdous Jamal is a part of this fraternity and that he had no right to pass such regressive remarks about Mahira Khan. Momina Duraid has proved that for her, Mahira Khan is far more important and the amount of work Firdous Jamal has done over the past 45 years is not worth being respected for.
This statement by Momina Duraid has now sparked another debate and actors like Mishi Khan, Feroze Khan, Hamza Firdous are openly speaking against Momina Duraid. Mishi Khan has called it a mafia because for everyone this is unfathomable that based on an opinion of Firdous Jamal, his status and respect is being dragged down like this. People are also questioning that Mahira Khan spoke about spreading love but why is she not telling Momina Duraid to backtrack from her decision? In the past, celebrities like Nadia Khan and Veena Malik have also shared their opinion that they don’t see Mahira Khan as an amazing actor.
Hum TV is setting the wrong precedent. In this era of freedom of speech, the owners of Hum TV are making it very obvious that they will not hold back in disrespecting the seniors for their favorite actors. Being one of the leading channels of Pakistan, the owners of Hum TV also has a responsibility to maintain balance and neutrality. If they want to support or promote their favorite stars, they are free to do that but definitely not at the cost of disrespecting the legends who have given their entire life to Pakistani drama industry.

Mishi Khan has been associated with the showbiz industry for a really long time. She has been part of some of the most well known serials of the past. When MD Productions not only banned Firdous Jamal but also insulted him, Mishi Khan shared everything she knew and felt about Momina Duraid.
The most shocking thing she said was that MD Productions does not even pay the actors after getting the job done. She said so many artists did not even want to work with the MD Productions for the same reason.
She also said that people shouldn’t have expected better from Momina Duraid because this was her reality. She does not value the actors and only defends those who are her favorites. She also said that Momina Duraid had no idea what her ‘favorites’ really thought about her. Mishi Khan surely knows what she is talking about it and she is not holding back at all.
Mishi Khan also said that if Momina Duraid wanted to do the right thing then she should be paying the people who work for her on time. She also said that it was stars like Firdous Jamal who sell her dramas. She also termed MD Productions a mafia.
Feroze Khan has lately been quite vocal about the controversies relating to the world of showbiz. First he shared his thoughts regarding Hamza Ali Abbasi’s stance on Iqra and Yasir’s proposal at the Lux Style Awards, then he shared his views regarding the issues between Mohsin Abbas Haider and his wife Fatima Soheil.
This time around he has really put his foot down in order to show how upset he is with the way the veteran actor Firdous Jamal is being treated especially by those people who are in the media. He was quiet until Momina Duraid issued a notice in which she did not only announce that she will not work with Firdous Jamal but she also said that she was ashamed that he was part of the fraternity.
Feroze Khan in a bold move openly criticized Momina Duraid. He also posted a tweet in which he implied that these bigwigs of the industry feel that they are god.
Feroze Khan is clearly in favor of freedom of expression and does not appreciate the double standards.
Faryal Mehmood is relatively new in the entertainment industry but in this short span of time, she has quite often made remarks about celebrities which didn’t go well with the followers and fans. When Faryal Mehmood started her career, she had an unpleasent twitter exchange with Sonya Hussyn in which she mocked her drama Farah Ki ABC, saying it was a flop and later on also made fun of Sonya Hussyn for applying foundation on her hands and feet constantly to look fair.
Earlier this year, Faryal Mehmood accused Sonya Hussyn of bullying her when she was a newbie. Sonya Hussyn simply said that she refused to entertain such negativity.
This time around Faryal Mehmood took a dig at Hareem Farooq when she was answering a question on Mazak Raat. When the host, Vasay Chaudhry asked her that if she was going to an award show and had to take 4 actresses with her, who would she choose. The options were, Sajal Aly, Mehwish Hayat, Saba Qamar, Hareem Farooq and Mahira Khan. Faryal Mehmood said that she won’t take Hareem Farooq with her because she would take too much space!
Faryal Mehmood was overweight when she entered showbiz, she worked hard to lose the weight, something she shared while she talked to Nadia Khan on her YouTube channel.
Celebrities share their opinion about fellow celebrities all the time but this time around, the kind of attention Firdous Jamal’s comments about Mahira Khan have gotten is simply unprecedented. The move by MD productions to ‘punish’ Firdous Jamal for his ‘regressive’ comments made matters worse.
While Mahira Khan is simply unaffected by any of these happenings, the celebrities have no chill. People are also questioning Mahira Khan’s stance since she should take a step forward and ask MD Productions to revert their decision. Veena Malik right from the beginning supported Firdous Jamal and showed respect for his opinion.
Veena Malik has been around for longer than Mahira Khan and hence she knows her seniors better than Mahira therefore it seems that she has made a choice based on experience. Veena Malik did not hold back while sharing her opinion about this entire fiasco.
Veena Malik is known for her blunt remarks on twitter. She is also opinionated and says whatever she wants to relentlessly. This time around she not only called Mahira an “old woman” but also questioned Mahira Khan’s superstar status.
Veena Malik also called out MD productions for the action they took against Firdous Jamal. She also questioned how these new actors will grow if they find it so hard to take criticism. Veena Malik also called this entire situation a ‘tamasha’ because Mahira Khan was the rising star which no one could say anything against. She also feels the same way about MD Productions.
Veena Malik rightly pointed out that this whole thing had been blown out of proportion because of Mahira Khan and MD productions otherwise it was no big deal. Veena Malik is also supporting Shaan Shahid’s let’s bring our pride back hashtag to show respect for the seniors.
Ohkay so, this episode of Kun Faya Kun was completely opposite to what was shown in the preview last week. It seems the preview was misleading & whatever they showed in last week’s preview will be happening in the next episode. After watching this episode, I now get why they deceived the viewers because there wasn’t much that happened in this episode other than showing the mindset of Mashal & how she continued to blame everything on her luck.
Mashal’s Perspective:
Mashal is struggling emotionally & spiritually. Mashal has lived a life which is not so ideal according to her own perspective. Mashal is immature that is why she compares her life to that of Bisma & Areesha’s, which is why she always feels she falls short on everything. I know Mashal’s mental & emotional growth will be shown in the future episodes, but for once I feel it would’ve been nice to hear her being thankful for something. I know, she has acknowledged the fact quite a lot because of Appa Jee, she feels secure but other than that, she struggles. I will however say that Mashal’s character is a depiction of each one of us. We always hit such emotional rock bottoms every now & then where we question why we are being subjected to something that is unfavorable or not according to our plans. In the scene where I saw Mashal sitting on the side of the road, cursing her life & her circumstances, it seemed very relatable because many times, every single human being feels that way. Each one of us go through this emotional journey filled with ups & downs where we are unable to see the bigger picture.
Mashal found herself in an unfavorable situation in this episode. She could not make it to her home on her own & when she sat there, uncertain, she continued to blame herself for the misfortune she has always experienced. Mashal’s character, though one-dimensional is still very real & relatable. I like that they have also focused a lot on her age, because it does complete the entire picture & shows that even bringing yourself to truly have a complete faith in Allah also requires experience & maturity, which Mashal lacks at the moment. She is young, she is not mature enough to understand the bigger picture or see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even though Mashal is very patient, she has learned how to oppress her feelings & subside her desires but still, being a flawed human being, she continues to complain. Mashal’s emotional struggle & journey seems very realistic & has been executed brilliantly.
Hashir came to rescue Mashal but not only that, he tried to bring her out of this misery that she has kind of inflicted upon herself. Hashir tried hard to uplift Mashal, give her the confidence that she needs to face the world but for Mashal, she is not mentally prepared to even comprehend that she can achieve any of that. Mashal actually does see herself as a victim but then again, that is not her fault & this is going to be a journey of self-discovery & that was shown nicely. I really liked the way Hashir tried to ease her out but then he was also genuinely concerned that Mashal was quite faint-hearted. Appa Jee discussed her ordeals with Hashir, at least she knows that Hashir is the only one who will understand what Mashal goes through. It is nice to see that Hashir is so courteous towards both Appa Jee & Mashal. He not only feels for them but also respect them immensely.
Areesha tried to make a good impression on Armaan but then again, both Faseeha & Shama could totally see what she was up to. Shama actually thinks Armaan is interested in Areesha but she has no idea that he is about to shake her world when he will tell her that he likes Mashal. Both Shama & Faseeha, though selfish & unreasonable are another truthful depiction of the society, where they are so busy in their lives, that they don’t even bother what others are going through. Shama & Faseeha are also one-dimensional & small-brained women who have actually destroyed the dynamics of the entire clan because of their egos & misjudgment. Armaan & Hashir try hard to make things work but then, Shama & Faseeha are never going to change. I am glad Bisma didn’t have much scenes, neither did Areesha but I liked that Hashir immediately told Bisma off for her wrong accusations.
Closing Thoughts – Meaningful Conversations:
Overall, this episode of Kun Faya Kun didn’t really do much but just shed a light on everything that Mashal goes through. She yearns for respect & love but then, Appa Jee knows that even this will not do anything for her. I loved the conversation where Appa Jee told her that she’ll pray for her but not for what Mashal wants, but for what Appa Jee thinks is right for her. It is Appa Jee’s wisdom that Mashal is unable to actually understand but then with time, she will continue to learn & then she will apply Appa Jee’s lessons in her life. It is a nice journey overall but then I am actually looking forward to some change which I am glad will happen in the next episode. This episode definitely belonged to Appa Jee, Mashal & Hashir & all the actors playing these characters were brilliant. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Kun Faya Kun.

Sadaf Kanwal is a famous Pakistani model and an actress too. She got a massive fan following for her looks and the way she poses for the camera is absolutely stunning. As a model, Sadaf has won several awards for being the best model-female including Hum Style, and Lux Style Awards.
Sadaf Kanwal is a bold model who doesn’t care what people will think or say about her. She is passionate about her work and lives her life according to her own rules. She never feels a shy in sharing her bold pictures on her social media accounts.
Sadaf always tries to manage time to go on vacations to have fun. She is a fitness freak and needs a fresh mind and body to focus on her work, therefore, she recently shared her pictures all the way from Bangkok on Instagram. Sadaf Kanwal had quality time with her friends in Thailand. They went to the beach, are delicious food and explore many new places. The whole trip was a memorable adventure for her.
It’s really necessary for anybody to keep themselves fresh and relax to live a successful like. Here are some beautiful clicks of gorgeous fashion model Sadaf Kanwal. Have a look!
Mawra Hocane is a confident actress who recently started her own clothing business too with her celebrity sister Urwa Hocane as a partner. Mawra Hocane has also worked across the border and was part of one of the biggest Pakistani films last year. Mawra Hocane posted a picture taken by Adeel Hussein, who can be seen in the background, captioned “What you search is searching you.”
This picture and the caption has people wondering if Mawra Hocane and Adeel Hussein are indeed a couple. These two stars were also seen hanging out together at the Parey Hut Love’s trailer launch.
Adeel Hussein has not been seen on the screen for quite a while now. In a recent interview he shared that he will be doing a project soon. Right now his passion is photography more than anything else.
Urwa Hocane and Mawra’s mother Razia Makhdoom also commented under Adeel Hussein and Mawra Hocane’s pictures. People also asked Mawra Hocane’s mother if Adeel and Mawra were planning to get married but did not get a response.
Mawra Hocane’s other two siblings also chose their soulmates themselves and are happily married. Mawra Hocane has not replied to any of the comments but her comments under Adeel Hussein’s pictures also suggest that there is something brewing between them.
Ever since Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir privately got engaged, the fans are constantly making guesses about which celebrities might be romantically involved. It really seems like Mawra Hocane and Adeel Hussein have something special going on between them and it doesn’t look like a project!
Ohkay so, this episode of Khaas was a bit on the slower side but it did show how disloyalty & insincerity is the last thing one wants to see in a marriage. It is interesting how the writer has shown that two perfectly fine people can at times not shape a good life together because they are not on the same mental wavelength. The writing of Khaas has been very intelligent & this script is written beautifully. It has given attention to those issues which are never probably discussed because such problems are hard to explain, but the one going through it all knows what it is like being in this kind of a relationship.
Saba Let Ammar Know Her Decision:
Saba found out about Ammar & Salma. Saba decided to speak to Ammar about it but as usual, Ammar showed her that she didn’t hold any value or importance in his life because he didn’t bother coming back when Saba asked him to. Saba made up her mind that she had to do something about it by either speaking to Ammar or his parents. It is interesting to see that everyone blames Saba for everything but no one sees how hard she struggles to make this marriage work. Ammar has successfully painted a picture of Saba in front of everyone that she has an attitude problem, but has never once, like a man accepted his own shortcomings. Saba let Ammar know that this was something she will never approve of. Saba told Ammar clearly that she will not sit back & let him continue with cheating on her but then Ammar once again let her know that no one will believe her. Saba’s finality did shake Ammar a bit, he never expected that respect, loyalty & love mattered so much to Saba that she was ready to give up on all the luxuries because of those things. Saba let Ammar know clearly that these expensive gifts were basically a bait that he used to keep her mouth shut but she wasn’t going to take it anymore.
Saba spoke to Ammar’s parents. It was good to see that at least AMmar’s father knew that Saba was right. Ammar’s father tried to make Kanwal understand that Ammar is not the kind of a person she’d want for Nida herself. At least Saba seemed a bit relieved that someone in this family understood her predicament. Kanwal is blind to her son’s faults, she thinks AMmar is an ideal husband & Saba is just ungrateful but she is being biased & totally unjust in dealing with Saba. Farah has started seeing the problems but she has never once addressed them, neither in front of Kanwal nor in front of Saba but it has been shown subtely that ever since Saba’s miscarriage, Farah has started feeling for Saba & she does understand that being in a relationship with a man like Ammar is mentally taxing on her!
Nida decided to take her likeness for Fakhir one step ahead. She confessed & got rejected. Nida’s feelings have always been innocent & she confessed innocently & immaturely too but then again, she got bitter after the rejection & that is going to cloud her judgment. Nida won’t be able to differentiate between right & wrong from now on because all she understands is that Fakhir rejected her because of some girl named Saba. NIda has vowed that she will find out who Saba is to sntach Fakhir away from her, which means Saba is in trouble & she has no idea. Obviously, there’s nothing from Saba’s side but Nida has already sensed that Fakhir is in love with this girl & when she will find out it is her sister in law Saba, she won’t hold back & put an entire blame on her.
Saba once again spoke to Fakhir. She knows that of all the people, he understands the unspoken. Saba does not want to, but she finds herself drawn to Fakhir every time things get a bit too dense for her to tackle. Saba only relies on Fakhir for emotional support but for Fakhir, Saba means so much more but she has no idea. It was interesting to see how Ammar was now taking everything that Saba said to his ego. He could not believe that Saba threatened to leave him, this was something that further drove her towards Salma. Ammar is egoistic & he will do everything to let Saba know that she can not order him around. Ammar was obviously not thinking on those lines but since Salma initiated & Saba warned him, Ammar will now do the wrong. Sarwat Nazeer has written Ammar’s character brilliantly, he has so many layers & so many emotions which make it a treat to watch this character.
Closing Thoughts – Nicely Executed:
Overall, this episode was really nicely done. It is unfortunate that Saba is left alone & even when she will start complaining about Ammar openly, no one will understand her perspective. Saba’s family is not going to supportive too & that will obviously put Saba in a difficult situation too but she will fight for it. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Khaas.
