Weddings and Cricket are the most saleable things in Pakistan. Now imagine what their combination would be like? Pakistani people’s hearts beat with cricket and wedding is the sole purpose of people’s life in Pakistan. Jokes apart, we actually came across a wonderful combination of cricket and wedding of late.

Islamabad United are an ace team in the PSL. They have won the game more than any other game and their kit is something we love to wear. But that’s not all that this team is good at. Their manager, since he is managing a cricket team must be a cricket aficionado, too his love for the game to another level. The General Manager of Islamabad United had a theme-based wedding and it was awesome. Starting new innings of his life, Rehan ul Haq, the team manager of 2 times PSL winner, had a big fat wedding last night that brought together the whole Islamabad United squad, with the exception of few, and the gentlemen were dressed up in red, the theme of their team kit!

This may not have been the most high profile wedding but it certainly was the coolest wedding.

Who’s the hottest girl in the world? Desi girl. Yes and you know who the real desi girl is. She’s made it big in Hollywood after reigning in Indian film industry. She won the Miss world contest and has been winning at everything ever since. She herself is getting married too. She’s sold her wedding pictures for whopping $2.5 Million and why make money go wasted? She thought of making a couple of more millions by doing a performance.

It was reported that “Who run the world” singer Beyonce will perform at Isha Ambani and Anand Primal’s wedding. Isha and Anand’s wedding is a 3rd high profile wedding this year after Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas’ and Deepika Paduokone-Ranveer Singh’s. Inviting big names to perform at high profile weddings is norm. But this time some biggest names are going to perform at what’s probably India’s most expensive wedding this year.

Earlier there were reports that Priyanka Chopra, who’s close to the Ambanis, will be performing at Isha’s Sangeet. But guess what, there’s a slight twist in all those rumours doing rounds on the internet. A source close to the actress recently informed that she will not be doing a solo performance at the wedding but a group one. The source told, “Priyanka will be performing with Isha’s friends at the wedding and not alone. This one will be a group performance and they have already started practices for the act and other Bollywood celebs will also join Priyanka in this.”

Mahira Khan and Adnan Siddiqui have starred together but not in any drama or film but in an advertisement campaign. Both the stars have come together and have replaced the old classic Meri Nanhi Pari ad of molty foam with their take on it. Mahira Khan is looking stunning in the ad in a beautiful lehenga and elegantly done makeup but who has shown the real transformation is our very own Adnan Siddiqui.

Adnan Siddiqui goes from the young father to old and it has been shown in his appearance too. He has been turned partially bald and his hair is turned grey for this campaign. The overall look of the advertisement is very emotional and shows how a father feels when he marries off his daughter. Here is how the superstar duo is looking in the ad:

This is the advertisement where Mahira is playing the new face of Nanhi Pari:

Adnan Siddiqui sure looks unrecognizable in this one!

One couple that has definitely gone through pacific sized ups and down in their relationship are boxer Amir Khan and his wife, the Instagram model Faryal Makhdoom. Amir and Faryal finally reconciled after a huge fight when Faryal was expecting a baby. The couple already had a beautiful daughter together but the birth of their second daughter brought them together. They have travelled the world together and have been special guests on so many occasions.

So, Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom went to Saudia Araba for a visit and Amir embraced his inner Saudi when he got there. He paid respect to the Saudi culture in his way when he wore their traditional outfit. The couple then also performed Umran together and it was their first time performing Umran with each other. Faryal was super excited as she had previously performed Umran with her parents and was happy to do it with her life partner this time. Here are some pictures from their trip to Saudi Arabia:

A huge congratulations to Amir Khan and Frayal Makhdoom on performing Umrah from our side!

The Sharif Family has been going through quite a tough time for the past year or so. They got a huge blow politically when the head of the family, the ex-prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was de-seated. Then both father and daughter went through trial and were arrested. Between all this political crisis, the biggest set back came when the matriarch of the Sharif family Begum Kulsoom Nawaz went seriously ill. She was admitted to the hospital where she was undergoing treatment for cancer.

The former first lady though responded to the treatment initially but did not survive and dies in London due to extreme illness. Junaid Safdar, the only son of Maryam Nawaz Sharif loved his grandmother a lot. In a recent gathering, he recited a Sufiyana Kalam and dedicated it to his late grandmother. This is how indulged in the words he was:

First, they were dating and then they were not, then Sham proposed and Froggy denied. But finally the day came when Sham Idrees asked Froggy the big question and she answered with a YES! It was a huge moment for all their fans absolutely as they have been waiting for such a long time for their union.

The couple will keep sharing all the excitement and preparations with their fans through their social media presence. Their fans are overjoyed on the occasion. Here is the Vlog where they shared the details of their wedding plans with their fans:

Mahira Khan is the true superstar of Pakistan. She is the first from Pakistani entertainment industry to star opposite a star as big as Shahrukh Khan when she went to Bollywood. She also is the first actress to represent Pakistan at a huge scale at the Cannes Film Festival. Mahira is also a stunner and is a face that can look good without even having to work hard for it. She has a beautiful sense of style and always makes heads turn with her classy looks wherever she goes.

Mahira Khan just attended an event. She was wearing a nude saari with a black lacy border and we could not even keep our eyes off her for a second since she was looking so stunning. Her hair was styled in her signature casual curls and she was wearing emerald earrings. Her makeup was done in pinky nude hues and was giving out a total no-makeup makeup charm only Mahira can put forward without looking colourless. The Saari she was wearing was a Nomi Ansari number and Mahira Khan just looked the class of elegance in her outfit. Here are some pictures:

Mahira is looking extremely beautiful in this Saari indeed!

It is a time of joy for sports stars Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza. The couple has been blessed with their little bundles of joy Izhaan Mirza Malik a few days back. Izhaan is the first baby of the couple and they are in a state of celebration since the baby has arrived. Now, Shoaib Malik has cut short a few of his work commitments too to spend time with his family. It was Sania Mirza’s birthday and Shoaib Malik came back to spend time with his wife on his birthday.

Sania Mirza was super joyous as she celebrated her birthday along side her family. Baby Mirza Malik also joined the celebrations with mama Sania Mirza. Sania Mirza is spending time off work right now since the arrival of her boy. Here are some pictures of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik having a blast at her birthday:

We wish Sania Mirza a very happy birthday. May Allah bless her and may her year ahead be even more filled with joy!

Mohib Mirza is an actor who works on his own terms and according to him it’s the same case with his personal life. He’s married to Aaminah Sheikh is at the peak of her career. She lead Cake, Pakistan’s official submission to the academy awards, and won accolades for her wonderful performance. Now, that Mohib is equally talented and has proved it time and again then what’s stopping him from being at top. Mohib revealed it all in his interview to Galaxy Lollywood.

On his selection of films he said, ” Bachana fared well while TMLS struggled to get its act right with the audience. The audience shouldn’t be blamed for disliking a film. Personally I felt, TMLS had a good script but something went intrinsically wrong with the technical support i.e. colour grading and sound until the final screening. Lack of promotions was also a cause for its debacle. As for Arth, it was completely Shaan’s visualization from start to finish. As an actor, I surrendered myself to him and completely trusted his vision. Each film has its own destiny, maybe the hype around the film was missing or it wasn’t the right time to release it. As an industry, we are still in the experimenting zone and it is really unfair to label a film a hit or a flop. It’s a tough phase for the actors, distributors and filmmakers.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpj0tBSH105/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

On why does he take so long to appear on Tv, he replied, “I took my time to wait for a good script instead of grabbing just any project, just to stay relevant. I got a lot of lead role offers these past few offers but the characters just didn’t appeal to me. The plots were getting repetitive and there was nothing new. I truly believe that an actor should and must evolve with time and the offers I was getting didn’t align with that. Deedan, on the other hand, has given me an opportunity to prove my versatility. I have worked really hard on it and have broken quite a few stereotypes through it. I couldn’t have asked for a better comeback project.”

Shahid Afridi’s video from a press conference was going viral for all the wrong reasons. He’s known for his outspoken nature but every time he rubs people the wrong way. In the video on being asked about Kashmir he responds, “I say Pakistan doesn’t want Kashmir. Don’t give it to India either. Let Kashmir be independent. At least humanity will be alive. Let people not die. Pakistan doesn’t want Kashmir. It can’t even manage its four provinces. The big thing is humanity, people are dying there, it is painful to see.”

His video became viral in no time and people responded to his statements. Azad Jammu Kashmir went on to ask Afridi to refrain from talking about such sensitive issues. While, Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned Shahid Afridi’s statement on Kashmir being ‘celebrated in sections of the Indian media’, underlining that the former Pakistan cricketer clearly supported freedom for Kashmir and criticized human rights violations.

My clip is incomplete & out of context as what I said before that is missing.Kashmir is unresolved dispute & under brutal Indian occupation. It must be resolved as per UN resolution. Myself along with every Pakistani support Kashmiri freedom struggle. Kashmir belongs to Pakistan.

— Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) November 14, 2018

After receiving backlash, Afridi took to twitter to clarify saying, “My clip is incomplete & out of context as what I said before that is missing.Kashmir is unresolved dispute & under brutal Indian occupation. It must be resolved as per UN resolution. Myself along with every Pakistani support Kashmiri freedom struggle. Kashmir belongs to Pakistan.”

Just when you think people are over Coke Studio’s Ko Ko Korina debacle, someone shows up and makes us recall all the pain we felt listening to the track. Ahad Raza Mir’s much awaited Coke Studio debut proved to be a bigger disaster than Chain Aye Na. From politicians to general public everyone bashed the singers and the platform for ruining a classic. Although, Coke Studio had not come up with any clarification, the singers Ahad Raza Mir and Momina Mustehsan defended their act multiple times.

Coke Studio fiasco made the Sindhi singer Jigar Jalal to come up with his own version of the song. In what is possibly the first video of the series titled Goth Studio, Jalal begins by saying, “Agar Ahad aur Momina Ko Ko Korina gaa sakte hain to Jigar Jalal kyun nahi?” (If Ahad and Momina can sing Ko Ko Korina, why can’t Jigar Jalal?)

This catchy tune starts with the singers original lyrics, “Jungle me dhoonda, ke sheharon me dhoonda, magar mujh ko Ko Ko Korina kahin nahi mili,” (I looked for Ko Ko Korina in jungles and cities but couldn’t find her anywhere). Well, honestly, this rendition may not have been made on the scale as big as Coke Studio’s, it surely sounds better than what Ahad Raza Mir sang.

Earlier we reported that Yasir Nawaz had finalised Neelam Munir and Sami Khan for his third feature film Wrong No.2. Yasir was initially working on a murders mystery but he chose to go for the sequel of his first film which is again going to be a comedy. While, Sami was finalized as the leading man, it was the female lead that was a mystery. But later it was revealed that Neelam who is currently working opposite Yasir Nawaz, the director, in Dil Mom Ka Diya.

Sana Fakhar , Nayar Aijaz, Javed Sheikh and  Mehmood Aslam have also joined the cast and what’s surprising is that they are currently shooting in Hyderabad. Sami, Mehmood and Sana are shooting for their scenes in the city while the rest may join them soon.

Director Yasir Nawaz is also playing a character in the film. On choosing to do the film, the director said, “I’m back at comedy because that’s what sells. The script for Wrong No. 2 will be written by Danish Nawaz while I have written the screenplay. Dialogues will be by Ahmed Hassan.” We’ll get to see the film next year as it has just started shooting for the first spell. We wish the team best of luck.

“You don’t have any right to look so beautiful. Not fair” is  a line which was first said in 2001 but it has been etched into our minds ever since. Yeah that’s a famous line by Kareena Kapoor’s character Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The importance of this line has increased as it was recently reported that Poo is coming back. Isn’t it wonderful? Well, let us tell you that Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is not coming back rather it is just the character of Poo which will come back and that too in a webseries. Yes, Netflix has announced that a web series based on the character is works.

Since, Poo is coming back two of the beautiful women from Pakistan recreated the famous dialogue as a Dubsmash video. Neray aa sensation Mathira and Neelam Munir’s video is going viral. In this video, Neelam is lip syncing Kareena’s dialogue for Mathira. Well, that’s true after her couple of Ads and Instagram pictures, we must ask Mathira that she has no right to look this beautiful.

Well, we have got to say the same thing to Neelam as well. But anyway, both still can’t help look beautiful. Neelam is apparently doing Wrong No. 2 opposite Sami Khan while her serial Dil Mom Ka Diya is loved by the audiences.

Shahid Afridi’s wife never came in front of the cameras. Though his daughters have always come to his matches and supported him while giving out interviews and pictures, his wife Nadia observes full parda and never came in the limelight. Shahid Afridi, however, has always shown appreciation for his wife that how she has managed the household and a life where her husband has always been in front of the cameras.

Shahid Afridi narrated the story when he saw his wife for the very first time. His is a totally arranged marriage and didn’t even see his wife even when he got engaged. He then asked his family for some pictures of the bride to be and he was shocked when he saw his wife Nadia’s picture for the very first time and not really in a good way. He saw his first wife live after they had gotten married. This is how all of this happened:

Shahid Afridi later led a very beautiful life with his wife and has very beautiful daughters too!

Shahid Afridi is an emotional man, these will be the words if we have to describe the star in a single line. Shahid Afridi id opinionated and he is never shy to convey his thoughts to the audience or in front of the camera whatever the matter on hand may be. He also talks openly about the cultural values he supports and how he wants everything around him to be.

Shahid Afridi was asked if he ever broke a television, it was in reference to people always breaking television screens during the India Pakistan cricket matches. He was open about this topic too as he shared that he indeed has broken a television. But this was not because of a match. But because of those Star Plus dramas, his wife used to watch back in the day. He was angry when he saw that the kids were also on to them and before he even realized what he has done, he had broken the television. Here watch Shahid bhai explaining his angry bout in a rather hilarious fashion:

Lala knows his aggression and he sure knows what he wants the kid to watch and what he does not want them to watch!

A normal plastic bag takes 400 to 1000 years to degrade and every piece of plastic ever made still exists in the environment. Moreover, the amount of plastic waste has been increasing about 10 per cent each year for the past 20 years. A few days ago Sindh Government announced that it is banning plastic in Sindh. Sherry Rehman tweeted in the same regard saying, “Ban imposed on the manufacture, sale and purchase of non-biodegradable polythene bags in Sindh. A great step by the Sindh government.”
