The trade between Pakistan and Saidi Arabia will be increasing after the visit of Saudi crown prince to Pakistan and alongside that cultural exchange, will be increased between the two countries too. Saudi Arabia is going through a major image transformation in decades as women have been permitted to drive and cinemas are now open to the public again after years.

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry has announced that Pakistan will be playing a role in increasing arts in Saudi Arabia and we will also be exporting our dramas to the country. This is what he said during a press meet:

“We have well-reputed performing art academies in the country and as Saudi Arabia is focusing on establishing new academies for performing arts, we would want to extend the support of our artists including actors, film directors as well as calligraphers. e are also working on arranging Arabic dubbing of local TV dramas that will soon be exported to Saudi Arabia. In addition, we also expect Saudi Airlines to include Pakistani dramas as part of their in-flight entertainment content.”

There will be a cultural mela arranged in Saudi Arabia too for Pakistanis living there where they can come and enjoy different arts!

Hania Amir is in the news these days a lot because of the speculations about her and singer Asim Azhar’s relationship. The couple has not confirmed anything and even Asim dodged the question when he was asked about it in an interview. Hania is being seen on the television these days in the drama Anaa where she as also sung the title song for the show.

Hania just did a photo shoot and she looked very different from her normal self. She was dressed in some edgy pieces with her makeup done in the editorial kind of way. The shades of lilac are definitely giving some mysterious vibes to the photos. Check out some clicks from her shoot:

Reema Khan is back in the scene these days and we have seen her at many shows too. She will be seen in a film too opposite none other than Shaan Shahid.

Reema Khan just got Pride of Performance by the President of Pakistan and she visited Wagah Border to show support for our forces.

So, a heated debate has been going on among Sohail Javed and Jami since Sohail filed a defamation suit on him. So, it started when Jami read a letter written by a 19-year-old girl who had faced harassment and rape at the hands of a well-known director at the Lahooti Melo. The letter did not name any names, neither of the victim nor of the criminal. But a few days back, Sohail Javed dragged Jami to court over the letter saying that Jami has false;y accused him of sexual harassment.

Jami’s legal team has also taken up the case and released a statement after the court hearing asserting that Jami will:

“contest legal proceedings against him, with full fervour as the Court passed an interim order dated 26.03.2019 for both the parties to maintain status quo.”

The statement further said that the court also observed that no names were named in the social media post about the crime. Sohail Javed, on the other hand, thinks that the allegation was a direct hit on him as he spoke to Express Tribune:

“Let me be very clear on this: I will not drop the case. We have been asked to maintain status quo. I’m just practising my legal right. The other party is claiming that there weren’t any names taken but it was a very direct hit.”

The next hearing of the case is on 6th April. Let’s see how it moves forward!

There has been beef between Mehwish Hayat and Aamir Liaquat since the controversies started after she was announced as a recipient of Tamgha e Imtiaz. When a political news publication said some inappropriate things on the Twitter about why Mehwish is getting the honour, she called them out and said that if they did not apologize, she will be suing them. This made Aamir Liaquat Hussain jump in the conversation and ask Mejhish that should she not be sued for defaming Aamir Liaquat in her film Load Wedding, that too without asking her.

The actress has now got her award and seems like Aamir Liaquat is sure about dragging the whole Load Wedding team to the courts for the defamation of his character and using him for the film without even asking. This is what he has to say:

Let’s see if Aamir Liaquat actually files a case against the Load Wedding team or not!

Pakistan has one of the best-armed forces in the whole world and they excel in every aspect be it the land forces, airforce or the navy. Our Airforce just showed the world how capable they are as they not only stopped the airspace violence attempts by India but also shot down their planes and captured their pilot alive.
