Qurutulain, Farah and Aroosa are all connected to the field of media and Iqrar is living his life happily.
Dr Zakir Naik was in Pakistan and among the many controversial statements, he said that any man who feels nothing after seeing a female news anchor for 20 minutes has something wrong with him. Many felt offended by this statement and criticized Dr Zakir Naik.
Iqrar ul Hassan also did not like the statement and made his own video on it. He said that this is a very inappropriate thing to say and Dr Zakir cannot push his own feelings on others. A man who feels attracted towards a news anchor because it is a female news anchor is absurd.
This is what Iqrar had to say while he criticized Dr Zakir Naik:
The internet is not happy with Dr Zakir’s statement but they are also not happy with Iqrar ul Hassan criticizing him because he is married to not one, not two but three anchors whom he saw at work. Here is what the internet has to say:

This is what Sarwat said:

This is what he shared:
Sami Khan also spoke about modern day love and how it has been reduced to simply a text. He gave an example on how in the past, one had to write a card and send it even if they had to send a message and that demanded effort. Nowadays people can just copy and paste messages to everyone.

He is one big remarkable TV and film actor who is considered to be irreplaceable because of his brilliant acting skills and strong social media presence and following.

Humayun Saeed’s drama garnered decent TRPs and views; each Gentleman episode garnered around 5 million views. Unfortunately, the drama was not liked by his own colleagues and co-actors. Shamoon Abbasi, Sadia Imam and Nadia Khan expressed their opinion on Gentleman’s writing, direction and actors.
Recently, a clip of actor Shamoon Abbasi is doing rounds on social media in which he gave a message to Humayun Saeed after his drama serial Gentleman concluded. Shamoon said, “I want to say to him, ‘don’t do such a drama in future – Ainda nai karney Ka”. He further said, “his pairing with Yumna Zaidi was off. I already knew that the language of the drama is also problematic. The locations, used in shooting were indoors, I know taking stars like him and Adnan could become a problem, if the director would have shot it Korangi because then people would have come to meet, but still they could do something. I think Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar has failed in this script”. All the co-hosts agreed to Shamoon Abbasi and showcased thumbs down emoji for the drama after it ended. Here is the link to the video:
Social media users are of the view that Shamoon Abbasi and co-actors are jealous of Gentleman and its cast. A social media user wrote, “Shamoon Abbasi has a beef with Gentleman”.

Initially, I didn’t tell my family but when I told them, they were okay with it. I started seeing the red flags but then things deteriorated. Also, he started taking drugs, but the thing is that drugs and this kind of behaviour is just an excuse for people who are abusive. He even started using heroin. It was a physically and emotionally abusive marriage because he didn’t use to earn and when I would need money, he used to beat me. So, I suffered a lot in my marriage”.

The story of the drama revolves around Nosherwan Ghaznavi who marries his love Dua, but soon leaves her because of misunderstandings created by Faraz and Kashmala.

Sang e Mar Mar
Sang e Mar Mar is another blockbuster project with Nauman Ijaz taking the lead. He hit it out of the park and gelled in well in a Pashtun character. Another hit for sure.

Raqeeb Se
Raqeeb Se is nothing short of poetry. A love story between older people including Nauman Ijaz, Sania Saeed and the debutant Hadiqa Kiani is a treat for the eyes. Nauman Ijaz as Maqsood Sahab will always be iconic and he can give anyone of the younger heartthrobs a run for their money.
Parizaad
Parizaad is a classic show. It is based on a very famous novel and the novel’s fan following were dying to watch this drama on screen.

Nadia Afgan is a very talented artist and her work speaks about her prowess. She has recently given some power-packed performances in dramas like Radd and Kabli Pulao. She was the talk of the town when she played Shamim and everybody loved her as she overshadowed everyone. Nadia Afgan can do both comic and serious characters in a great manner and she is a well-performing artist.
Many people have spoken about how young actors are not bothered about work and they focus more on social media presence and followers. Nadia Afgan spoke to AK Buzz and she made similar claims. She was asked about how senior actors are not as supportive as senior actors used to in the past. She added that younger actors are all so unbothered about work while seniors have only a small number of roles so they are not as interested. She added some new artists do put in a lot of effort while most are not bothered about work. Previously people have spoken about stars like Feroze Khan, Sana Javed and Alizeh Shah being difficult on set.
Nadia Afgan about Young ActorsÂ
This is what she said:
Nadia also spoke about dramas getting millions of views due to an international audience. This is becoming a benchmark for a show to be declared as a hit while the Pakistani audience is not being considered in content now. Nadia said that she has never understood what the Pakistani audience wants either as they are always calling for bans but yes YouTube is dictating a lot of things now.
Shahood Alvi has been in the drama industry for 30 years now and he has an honest take on the parchi system that exists in the field. He started off when she was very young and he has been a part of many good projects. People love to watch him on their screens and he is also very interesting when he is in live interviews. He was a guest on Hasna Mana Hai and made some revelations about nepotism.
Shahood Alvi revealed that you can become an actor either by going to different production houses or you can have a parchi. He added that he has also entered the industry as a parchi and he has no bones about accepting that fact. His uncle Iqbal Ansari brought him into the drama world.
He went on to add that he has been working for 30 years now. The reality is that parchi can bring you in front of cameras for 2-3 times but you can only survive if you have the talent and love of fans.
Jafaa is a drama that is presenting problems that occur after marriage and how couples have issues more than love. The drama was focusing on the lovey dovey scenes of Numair and Andaleeb for the past few episodes but in episode 21, we were finally able to see the show down between Zara and Hassan which was slowly building up. Mohib Mirza has done a fabulous job portraying the abusive Hassan who gaslight and abuses his wife. Mawra Hocane stole the show with the pain and intensity that she showed on screen.
The domestic abuse shown was very realistic and disturbed every woman who has either gone through it or seen it happening to someone they knew in real life. Usman Mukhtar also gave a measured performance as she realizes what has happened as soon as he sees Zara.
Public Reaction To Jafaa Twist
Fans are jolted by this disturbing twist and how realistically it was portrayed. Jafaa fans are looking forward to the upcoming episodes and how they are going to handle this track:

Good Morning Pakistan is the longest running morning show on Pakistani television. Nida Yasir hosts the show and it airs 5 days a week.

Reviewit’s Recent Article On Tamasha Contestant
Recently Tamasha 3 ended and the contestants were the talk of the town. Wajeeha Khan was one of the most liked contestants this season and Reviewit reported on her uncanny resemblance with former actress Aisha Khan. Many fans agreed with this original content published on reviewit. Reviewit published collages on how the two starlets looked similar. These were collages published by Reviewit team.
In her latest show with Tamasha contestants, Nida Yasir had Wajeeha Khan as her guest and she ended up claiming credit for finding similarity between Wajeeha Khan and Aisha Khan’s looks, something fans had already pointed out and publications wrote on.
Furthermore she plagiarized Reviewit’s collages without any credit for the work. As Nida said that she found the resemblance then either her or her team is plagiarizing content from publications and not putting in their own effort. This is a point to ponder on for such a big show. And this is not the first time that Nida Yasir’s team has taken content from reviewit without giving any credit.
