Once, my son complained, “Father, you always take her side.” I replied, “Who does she have now? She has left everyone for this house.” He then threatened to leave the house, and I did not stop him. He left, my wife used to cry, and he was also uncomfortable outside the home because we had kept him like a prince. Eventually, he returned, and everything became fine between them. You must take a stand for your daughters-in-law; they are no less than your own daughters.” Here is the link to the video:

Police seized flat and her gadgets and also found multiple proofs for investigations which were later investigated. The court later ordered an FIR and directed police to record family statements.
Now, Humaira Asghar’s medicolegal report has been published by the police according to which the blood stains are found on Humaira Asghar’s T-shirt which didn’t match her DNA.

Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a hit Pakistani drama serial currently airing on ARY Digital during prime time on Fridays and Saturdays. The story has been written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, directed by Nadeem Baig, and produced by Humayun Saeed. All the characters in Main Manto Nahi Hoon are currently going viral on social media, but Azaan Sami Khan is receiving the most attention for his perfect portrayal of the villain, Farhad.
Recently, Nadeem Baig spoke about casting Azaan Sami Khan as Farhad in Main Manto Nahi Hoon.
Talking about it, Nadeem Baig said, “In Azaan Sami Khan’s role we can easily imagine Feroze Khan and other angry looking men but I wanted it to be portrayed by someone who doesn’t look like this evil, he has innocent face but is a negative person. It adds surprise element to it. It is right casting and his role has been written so well. It has so much Masala so anyone would have got attention after doing it but Azaan is having more attention because an innocent face looks good with character. He is hardworking, good listening and a beautiful human being”.
Talking about Azaan Sami Khan slap scenes, Nadeem Baig said, “He deserves all these slap, he should be even hit with shoes, he is the one messing around and creating fuss especially when everyone is ready to end this feud, he’s the one starting it.”
Nadeem Baig is a senior Pakistani television and film director known for his hit projects like Barat Series, Pyare Afzal, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Dillagi, Kuch Ankahi, Punjab Nahi Jaungi, Jawani Phir Nahi Aani and others. Nowadays, he is getting praise for directing two most hit film and TV projects Love Guru and Main Manto Nahi Hoon.
Nadeem Baig has recently given a short interview to Omair Alavi for Nukta Life where he opened up about student teacher relationships being shown in Main Manto Nahi Hoon and also compared the odd love stories of old Ptv classics like Dhoop Kinaray and Ankahi.
Talking about it, Nadeem Baig said, “Why can’t Mehmal and Manto be a pair. I think it is something that is considered as a Taboo, or I can say that it is not decent to have a teacher-student relationship but the stories develop where things go against norms. Sometimes, it happens and if something like this happens, people should know how to handle it and we have scene such scenarios in old dramas like Dhoop Kinare where Marina Khan and Rahat Kazmi made a pair but it wasn’t highlighted because there was no social media and YouTube so it didn’t face criticism and people believed. In Ankahi, there was a relationship between a boss and his secretary which is also not so much pleasing according to me but no body talked much about it back then. In Student-Teacher relationship, there is a power dynamic and a teacher can exploit the student through his power and that is why it looks odd but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I read the script and I immediately knew that criticism will come because it’s not socially acceptable. Here is the link to the video:
Do Kinaray is a drama that is gaining a lot of traction. This all happened due to a very interesting and empowered negative character. Momina Iqbal as Dureshehwar made this show a must watch and a guilty pleasure for many. The way she has manipulated everyone and controlled the whole landscape was immensely entertaining.
The drama is moving forward but unfortunately, Do Kinaray has turned into a chewing gum. 59 episodes have passed and Dureshehwar is still in control. She is not getting any karma and this is getting way too toxic now. The leading man Waleed has no spine still while all his family suffered and he lost his daughter to Dure’s mechanisations.
This is what is still going on in Do Kinaray after 59 episodes:
Fans of the drama are furious and want to boycott it. One user said,”This show is a truck ki batti. We need to boycott it.” Another added, “Please air the last episode of this drama.” One said, ‘The producer and writer are milking it way too much now.” This is what people said:

Asma wants the tracks of senior actors to be made more meaningful and interesting rather than just two old people crying in corners.
This is what she said:
Fans agreed with Asma Abbas and shared their views. One said, “Glad to hear this being discussed openly.” Annother added, “My khala found love at a later stage and older people also have lives.” One expressed, “Kabli Pulao showed how true her words are.” This was the reaction:

Pakistani dramas are loved for their realistic and family-oriented stories. The dramas are loved not just in Pakistan but globally, with the South Asian diaspora making up a huge audience for the shows. With the introduction of YouTube views to gauge a show’s success, many formulaic dramas have begun to air. These formulaic dramas do well on the ratings charts but never become classics.
The surge in Pakistani dramas across various channels often overshadows some truly outstanding scripts, causing them to miss out on the recognition they deserve. These underrated dramas rarely make headlines, and audiences typically only appreciate their excellence years after they air.
Here’s a list of some underrated dramas that deserve a chance:
Alif
Alif is a Pakistani drama that became a classic while it was airing on Geo TV. A story about spirituality and a script that made the audience think about the materialism of today and their love for Allah. The show featured outstanding performances by Manzar Sehbai, Kubra Khan, Sajal Aly, Ahsan Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Saleem Mairaj, bringing all the characters to life. The show, however, remained underrated as it aired concurrently with Mere Paas Tum Ho, which was a sensational story and captured much of the audience’s attention, diverting it away from Alif. Alif deserved more eyeballs, and it is a drama that will always have rewatch value.
Rehai
Rehai aired on Hum TV and marked the very first show produced by Kashf Foundation. This Pakistani drama was unfiltered and openly depicted the harsh realities of society. It addressed themes such as child marriage, teenage pregnancies, and the societal disdain towards girls. With a compelling story and remarkable performances from Samina Peerzada, Nauman Ijaz, and Maria Wasti, Rehai successfully conveyed a message that many contemporary dramas often neglect. It is an underrated masterpiece that deserves a re-airing to educate people on these critical issues.
Durr e Shehwar
Durr e Shehwar is a Pakistani drama that portrays the reality of marriage in Pakistan. It explored various types of marriages, including forced, arranged, and love marriages, which we often see on our television screens. While most Pakistani dramas concluded with happy wedding events, Durr e Shehwar focused on what happened after the wedding ceremony. The show effectively highlighted misogyny and the burdens that women endured, with outstanding performances by Samina Peerzada and Sanam Baloch, who portrayed the younger and older versions of the same character. Their performances were so compelling that they convincingly felt like different stages of the same person.
Talkhiyan
Talkhiyan is a Pakistani drama inspired by Arundhati Roy’s novel The God of Small Things. It aired at a time when Sanam Saeed was at the peak of her career, following the success of Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Featuring talented actors like Sanam Saeed, Shamim Hilaly, and Hina Bayat, the show was a delight to watch. The narrative explored themes of loss and bitterness. However, Talkhiyan did not receive as much attention during its original airing because it was broadcast on a smaller channel.
Shanakht
Shanakht is another Pakistani drama that showed a Hijabi girl as the lead. Maya Ali played the lead, and she showcased the story of a girl who decides to wear a Hijab. Coming from an elite background, she is belittled for her choices while her fiancé rejects her. It spoke about the spiritual journeys of the leads and how Allah rewards you in ways you did not even see coming. Fahad Mirza played the male lead, and his journey was similar to Maya’s. This is one drama that many others have tried to be, but couldn’t reach the level. It did not become preachy and still sent the message across.
Dil Na Umeed To Nahi
Dil na Umeed To Nahi brought Wahaj Ali and Yumna Zaidi in raw and real roles. Dealing with the themes of prostitution, child trafficking, and drugs, this Pakistani drama had some dark themes, and they were handled brilliantly. Dil Na Umeed To Nahi is actually Yumna and Wahaj’s best project together and not Tere Bin. The bond between Allah Rakhi and Jamshed is something that brought tears to people’s eyes. This is a remarkable drama that, unfortunately, did not garner the recognition it deserved, as it aired on less prominent channels.
Jannat Se Aagay
Jannat Se Aagay is a Pakistani drama that received backlash from morning show hosts when it started. It seems to take a jab at morning show hosts, but that was not actually the case. The drama addresses the exploitation of women in the media industry, often by those close to them. Despite their hard work and dedication, many women find themselves undervalued and taken advantage of. It also highlighted how women from lower social classes may be drawn to the glamour portrayed on television, often failing to recognize the harsh realities behind it.
Raqeeb Se
Raqeeb Se is another masterpiece Pakistani drama which marked the debut of Hadiqa Kiani as an actress. The drama explores women’s empowerment in subtle ways. It’s not overly direct, and while some scenes may make you feel uncomfortable, they ultimately bring you back to a thoughtful place. Raqeeb Se also redefines masculinity through the character of Maqsood Sahab. This show is a real treat to watch and deserves much more appreciation than it received.
Akbari Asghari
Akbari Asghari features a talented cast, including Fawad Khan, Sanam Baloch, Imran Abbas, and Humaima Malick. Many fans admire Fawad Khan for his roles in Humsafar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, and Khoobsurat, but it is Akbari Asghari that really showcases his talent. His performance is both strong and hilarious, making it hard not to fall in love with him all over again. The chemistry between Sanam and Fawad is magical, and this drama deserves much more recognition than it currently receives.
Dumpukht – Aatish e Ishq
Dumpukht Aatish-e-Ishq marked the debut of Bilal Abbas Khan in Pakistani dramas. Starring Nauman Ijaz in the lead role, this drama did not receive the recognition it truly deserved. The story revolves around a spiritual leader and explores how such figures exert control over society through their unseen influence. With strong performances and a compelling narrative that leaves a lasting impression, the show unfortunately failed to attract a large viewership, mainly because it did not air on a major network.

Dayan is a popular Pakistani prime-time drama serial which aired on Geo TV, every Monday and Tuesday. The drama was written by Fatima Faizan and Amber Azhar and directed by Siraj Ul Haq, known for his drama serial Tere Bin. The show was produced by 7th Sky Entertainment and is considered one of the grand productions of Geo Entertainment. The star cast featured actors like Ahsan Khan, Hira Mani, Mehwish Hayat, Osama Tahir, Shamil Khan, Sohail Sameer, Zainab Qayyum, Afsheen Hayat, Nayyar Ejaz, and Nida Mumtaz. Each episode of the drama garners over 7 million view.
Tonight, Geo TV has aired last episode of drama serial Dayan. In the last episode Misha told Zawar truth about Nihal and Noori and also confessed killing his siblings as revenge after they killed and buried Noorie and Nihal. Misha forgave Zawar Shah for the sake of their child Hunain Shah. The drama ended on a Birthday scene of Hunain with his parents.
Dayan viewers are quite disappointed with the ending which according to them glorified a killer. Many were of the view that Nihal and her father were the main culprits who should have been in the jail instead of others. A few expressed sympathies with Shabab, saying, “Her only mistake was to allow her husband for a second marriage”. A viewer said, “What a dumb ending. One murder cannot justify so many murders in return. They are spreading the wrong message, the actor and the whole team.” One fan wrote, “Not a good ending, they didn’t do justice with Shabab” Another stated, “She is telling her story and crying but we are not at all feeling sad for her now”. Another wrote, “Maturity is when you realize Nihaal’s parents were the main culprits, not Zavar Shah and Shabab, because her father killed Hunain and mother sold her to her her alcoholic husband free.” One more commented, “Was it the first wife’s fault that she got him married to Nihal? How about the parents who arranged it? What kind of ending is this? Shabab wasn’t that bad… Nonsense… I hate Misha’s character.” However, a few viewers appreciated the happy ending. One fan wrote, “Very nice ending. I love the ending. Nihaal did right by forgiving Zawar because Zawar was not at fault; he loved her. Nice ending. Satisfied.” Read the comments:

Her father first killed Hunain and then they sold her off to Zawar and Shabab. But even as Misha she let them go.
The internet is not happy. They want her to punish her parents. One viewer wrote, “Her father is a killer and needs to pay.” Another added, “Why is she not punishing the real culprits. Her parents.” One said, “Misha should have taken revenge from her greedy parents.” This was the reaction:

Mohammad Ahmed is a senior Pakistani artist who made headlines a few months ago after posting a video on social media highlighting the delayed payment culture in the Pakistani drama industry. The trend was soon joined by several other actors, who also raised their voices against delayed or non-payment issues. Director Mehreen Jabbar also spoke up, especially about the payment problems faced by crew members, who are considered the backbone of the industry.
Recently, Mohammad Ahmed, Mehreen Jabbar, Saheefa Jabbar, and Hajra Yamin opened up about the struggles they face in receiving their payments.
Talking about it, Mohammad Ahmed said, “A delay of 6 to 8 months is considered normal when it comes to payments. We literally have to beg for our money. It’s painful when they don’t even respond. You have to submit applications, explain your financial situation, and only then do they release a partial payment. When you ask for the full amount, they say, ‘We just gave you a cheque.’”
Hajra Yamin also added, “Contractually, nothing is in the actor’s favor. For example, there’s always a clause that says if a shoot is canceled because of the artist, he has to pay damages. But if it’s canceled by the production, it’s considered justified.”
Saheefa Jabbar Khattak said, “There was also a controversy when Saheefa Jabbar Khattak introduced a new clause in the contract that included health and harassment. Obviously, if I get injured, it should be the production’s responsibility to bear the expenses. Also, I take a therapy of 6 months after wrapping up a drama because of the mental stress I go through”.
Hajra Yamin also shared that she once got injured on set and was simply sent home. Mohammad Ahmed also revealed his struggles of managing diabetes on set and covering his own wardrobe expenses. They further highlighted the mistreatment of crew members. Mehreen Jabbar said that many people avoid speaking up because they fear losing work. Actors admitted that they stay silent for the sake of getting projects. Mohammad Ahmed also revealed that he has now started raising his voice on sets. Here is the link to the video:
Saheefa Jabbar Khattak is a popular Pakistani model and television actor, known for hit projects like Bhool, Log Kya Kahain Gay, Rafta Rafta, and Beti. She started her career through modeling, and fans admire her creative brand endorsements and modeling reels. The actor has now moved to Canada to live with her husband and often shares glimpses of her daily life and opinions on social media.
Recently, Saheefa Jabbar Khattak shared her thoughts on the rapidly declining standard of ARY Digital’s reality show Tamasha. She criticized the illiterate contestants of Tamasha 4.
Talking about it, Saheefa Jabbar Khattak wrote:
“Man, honestly, watching Tamasha makes my heart sink. Such filthy behavior goes on inside—fights over bread, curry, and potatoes; foul language; and everyone just trying to put each other down only for screen time. Brother, there are moral values too, there is basic decency too. What is this? Is this what they’re promoting? Tomorrow, if these same people work in the ISI industry, only God will protect us. I genuinely fear them. The level of manipulation happening just to win the game is even more toxic. Emotional abuse has been normalized—faking pain, making up struggles and stories, even lying in tone—all of it feels utterly disgusting. One should understand that crossing every limit is not ‘entertainment.’ Staying calm, maintaining respect, and competing with dignity are also part of the game. Winning isn’t only what you see on the screen—true victory is when a person walks out of the game still carrying their honor and humanity.”
Tamasha viewers expressed anger at Saheefa Jabbar Khattak, but many social media users agreed with her. According to viewers, all seasons of the show have featured bullies and toxic participants, while one fan praised Saheefa for speaking the truth about Tamasha. Read the comments:

The arrest was carried out by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) at Allama Iqbal International Airport while he was traveling abroad with his wife, Aroob Jatoi.
A case was filed against Ducky Bhai, after which he was sent to physical remand.

Mrs Khan is a matchmaker and a marriage counsellor. We often see her giving advice to women on how to get married and then how to maintain their marriages. She is very controversial as she is never politically correct and she is often seen advising women to make sacrifices for their husbands. She is once again going viral for her latest statement.
Mrs Khan once again has some words of wisdom for girls who are up there on the BMI. She has advice for chubby girls and she once again said what she wanted to say without mincing words.
She said that she has seen how slim girls look attractive, they are confident and they know what to say and therefore people like them. On the other hand, chubby girls are low on confidence and thus get a lot of rejections. She advised chubby girls to use medicines, gym and other ways to lose weight in order to get more confident.
The internet is not too happy with Mrs Khan’s statement. One user said, “People like her need to be cancelled.” Another added, “Does she ever look at herself before saying such things.” Some also agreed with her. One girl said while agreeing, “I am a chubby girl and I know what she is saying is true.” Check out the reaction:
