Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi are friends that troll each other and are always there to support each other. Fans are dying to watch them work together but there has not been a single project yet where they could be seen together. The upcoming and most anticipated movie Maula Jatt 2 is one where we will be able to see the two stars in a single project but if reports are to be believed they have no scenes together.
Mahira Khan was with the director of Maula Jatt 2, Bilal Lashari. She posted a picture on her Instagram and did not forget to troll Hamza Ali Abbasi. Hamza is a very good friend of Bilal too. This is what Mahira thought about the picture and even shared her thoughts with her fans too:
And Mahira did incorporate Hamza’s wish into the picture and posted it:
Hamza agreed that yes he would want to be there and did not forget to praise his diva pout himself:
With the release of Maula Jatt coming near, fans are already all set to watch these two friends together on screen and judge if the chemistry is only off-screen or the magic will be same on screen too!
It was the birthday of Shahrukh Khan who is also known as the king of Bollywood and also considered one of the biggest movie stars of the world. He has got a massive fan following in Pakistan too with many of our celebrities too being his fans. On his birthday singer, Asim Azhar tweeted him where he wished him on his birthday and also expressed his wish to sing for him. He wants to see Shahrukh lip-synching to his song.
The tweet became a huge fan moment for Asim when Shahrukh replied to him. He tagged his tweet with #zerotrailer which is his upcoming movie. Here is the twitter exchange between the two stars:
Asim definitely was grateful at this and also shared SRK’s reply on his Instagram story. He further said that it would be a dream come true for him if he ever got a chance to sing for the superstar.
Wasim Akram-the swing of Sultan is one of the most famous celebrities in Pakistan. People love him and he also never shies away from sharing his family moments with his fans. Fans are also in love with his wife Shaneira Akram who is officially Pakistan’s national bhabi. The family was in Srilanka for vacations and they had a lot of fun. Wasim enjoyed his time off work with his boys and little princess. Here are the pictures from his trip to Srilanka:
Iqra Aziz is a wonder girl. Ever since she has started she has been winning hearts. Her glamorous foray from television to Instagram has won her tons of followers and the young lady is every brand’s hot favorite. On the other hand, Yasir is an ace actor whose The Aftermoon Show with Yasir has been a rage for showing a never seen before side of many top stars.
Showbiz is one huge industry and there are many friends and foes but what interests us is when we hear that two of our favorite stars are dating. They do create a buzz by coming out as a couple but when they don’t, the hide and seek becomes tabloids’ favorite topic.So, What’s really cooking between these two hotties?
Both Iqra and Yasir are known to be friends and often hangout with each other but if rumors are to be believed the two are in a relationship. Iqra has time and again denied it. She appeared on a popular web show One Take and said that Yasir is just a good friend of hers and they are not dating.
While industry insiders believe something is cooking between the two Iqra says Yasir is her very special friend who she always goes to for any kind of advice. She said that they are very good friends and that is it to it.
Zara Noor Abbas is one talented and beautiful addition to the Pakistani Entertainment Industry. Looks and talent are in her genes. She grew up around the likes of legend Bushra Ansari and her talented mother Asma Abbas. Now, she has been married in a family of actors. Her husband Asad Siddiqui himself is a famous celebrity and actor Adnan Siddiqui’s nephew.
Recently Zara appeared with Asad on a show hosted by Hasan Rizvi and she gave some amazing responses to the questions. She said that she would love to win an award and if she says she doesn’t believe in awards, it would be false. On being asked what annoys her the most about her husband, she responded quickly that he is always late and never tries to make it on time anywhere.
When Asad was asked what annoys him about Zara, he said that she is a cry baby. If she doesn’t get any thing to eat and drink within an hour, she will shed tears. Zara could not disagree and added that she is the only girl child in her family and she has always been pampered. Therefore, it has added to her sensitivity. Zara said that morning shows are overrated and she also revealed that she does not wear designer clothes in real life.
Tahwaar is doing his best to get Meeru and at the same time make the life of her parents hell. From burning their fields to humiliating Raju again and again, he has not stopped his mission. Yasir Hussain has outperformed himself in Baandi. You actually feel creeped out by Tahwaar. He has really picked up the accent and has managed to look like a really cruel Wadera. The helplessness of a poor father but at the same time, a fierceness he feels for his daughter has been beautifully portrayed by the character of Raju. How helpless these people are in front of these Waderas but how he has distanced himself from his beloved daughter just to keep her safe from Tahwaar. Tahawaar has a new game plan now and seems like it would destroy Meeru’s family.
Hina Dilpazeer is another actress one can swoon over. She has portrayed the hypocrisy and obsession of Faiza in a classic way. Faiza is a woman who has come from a poor background and now she just want all of that to go away. She tortures anyone who is lesser than her financially just to take out her obsession of hating the poor. The way she switches herself in the scene from preaching the good to actually beating her maid is something she should be applauded for. She has taken to the character of Faiza beautifully and is one of the strongest pulls of this show.
Aiman Khan has been a bit weak in the acting department in this show. She is not matching to the level of all her co-stars. Muneeb Butt till now has also been a perfect Wali. He wants to do good but is helpless because of the circumstances. He has now started falling for the Baandi aka Meeru and his mother’s reaction to this will be something to look forward to.
Rameen and Farhan’s track is also running in the background. Kamran Jelani is the cruel husband and he has made me hate his character Aadil with his performance.
Baandi is highlighting the problems of the poor and how they are exploited in the rural areas in a very realistic way up till now. How it goes from here will be something to watch!
We all know now that Aiman Khan is getting married with Muneeb. Their latest pictures and videos from their wedding festivities keep surfacing. And admit it we all love to know what is going on. Recently, their dholki was held where Aiman looked beautiful. Apart from her family members Aiman’s friends also attended the event.
While we all know how close Aiman and her twin sister Minal are, we don’t know much about her brothers. Aiman’s brother was seen with her in the latest pictures which came recently and he perfectly seems to be enjoying big sisters wedding festivities. He took some cool selfies and both siblings seem to have a ball of a time.
Wait that is not all. Do you know how much efforts Aiman and everyone is putting to make their wedding a grand affair. While Aiman has time and again said that she does not want to dance in the movies, it’s otherwise in real life. Recently her videos of prepping for the shadi dance surfaced on Instagram.
These videos made us wish hard that we could attend the wedding. I am sure you wanna do it, too. It’s okay if we can not go there, we can still have fun watching these fun videos that they keep teasing us with.
Rabab Hashim is one wonder girl who has done it all. She has been a host, she has modeled, she has done television and now she is venturing into web space. This is going to be her second outing with the ace director Wajahat Rauf after heir drama Tumhare Hain.
Rabab is a theatre graduate who started by doing hosting on Television first. She hosted Social Diaries on TV one and Khelo Aur Jeeto on Geo Super.

As per reports, she has joined the star cast of Wajahat Rauf’s web series. It stars Mehwish Hayat in the lead role and has Asad Siddiqui and Azfar Rehman playing pivotal roles. Mehwish will also show her singing skills in it. What platform is it for is not revealed yet. Rabab too will play an interesting role in a story based on college life and music.
Rabab has done some wonderful dramas including Main Maa Nahin Ban’na Chahti on Hum TV. She also featured in Zid, Tumse Milke, Tumhare Hain, Ishqaway, Piya Man Bhaye, Marzi and Geo Entertainment’s Mannat.
Who says actresses can’t be friends? I mean yes they have tight schedules and busy lives but they are human at the end. Sometimes their busy lives give a notion that they don’t get along very well but that’s not true in every case. We have discovered about two new bffs in the industry and we are swooning over them.
Maya Ali and Zara Noor Abbas are doing a film together called Paray Hut Love. What happens mostly on film sets is that the two actresses never stand each other but their latest pictures say otherwise. The two young stars are bonding very well and seem to be the new bffs in town. I mean why would not they be? Maya is doing extremely well in her film career. Her last outing Teefa in Trouble was a block. While, this is Zara’s debut film and her latest TEDx Talk was going viral on the internet.
Zara’s serial Lamhe opposite Shaz Khan is running on Hum TV. She is also a part of the ensemble cast of Karachi Se Lahore’s third installment. It will be directed by Wajahat Rauf. Zara is Bushra Ansari’s neice and actor Asma Abbas’ daughter. She got married to Adnan Siddiqui’s nephew actor Asad Siddiqui earlier this year.
What could be better than releasing a trailer of your film on your birthday. Shahrukh unveiled his film Zero’s trailer on 53rd birthday. The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles and is releasing on the Christmas eve on 21st December.
Initially, Deepika Padukone was going to share the screen space with Shahrukh and Katrina but she had stepped out of the film citing date issues. Everyone knows Deepika and Katrina do not share a great rapport due that the fact that both have dated actor Ranbir Kapoor in the past. Anushka Sharma, then, stepped into her shoes and seems to be acing her part in the trailer.
The film is directed by Tanu Weds Manu fame director Anand L Rai. It features Salman Khan in a cameo and also marks the last ever screen appearance of late screen goddess Sri Devi. It seems to be a musical riot and we are looking forward to see Shahrukh play yet another interesting role. Actor Anushka Sharma is playing a wheelchair bound girl who is also a motivational speaker while Katrina seems to be playing role of a superstar.
It is a moment of joy both in India and Pakistan when the celebrity couple Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik announced the birth of their beautiful baby boy. The couple informed their fans a few months back that they were expecting and the excitement is on a full time high since then. Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza are a couple everyone loves. They have been together for some years now and fans from both sides of the border love them.
Finding out about the new addition in the family was an occasion of joy for both sides. Shoaib Malik went to witness the birth of his little one and is back to perform his duties on the squad since then. Mommy Sania Mirza has finally taken the little one to home and pictures were clicked when she left the hospital naturally since people are dying to catch a glimpse of baby Izhaan Mirza Malik. Here are the first pictures of baby Izhaan with his mommy:
We congratulate Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik once again on the new arrival. May Allah give all the happiness to the little one and may he makes his parents even happier!
Ma ya Ali has now reached the status of one of the most successful Pakistani actresses. Be it television or films, she is the first choice of many directors and production houses thanks to her talent and style transformation. Maya recently came on Samina Peerzada’s show and expressed the love she has for her father. Her father is no more and she still feels the same sadness on losing him that she felt the day she lost him.
It is the most difficult thing for a child to lose their parents. Maya and her father had a rift about her working in the showbiz industry. He did not like it but did not stop her either. Later when he saw that she understands the rules and is working really hard to make a place for herself, he was warming up towards the idea. But before they could have openly talked about it, he left this mortal world. It was his second death anniversary and Maya shared a post remembering him. This is the emotional post from Maya Ali:
May Allah grant Maya’s father highest rank in Jannah and provide the family peace on such a big loss. It doesn’t matter how many years have passed, this is a pain that never gets old!
Hassan Shehryar Yasin famously knows as HSY is one of the biggest designers of Pakistan. Hassan has emerged as one of the finest on the fashion scene of Pakistan and has revolutionized the whole field thus giving more and more opportunities to the upcoming designers. Hassan Shehryar Yasin was the latest guest at Saina Peerzada’s Speak Your Heart With Samina Peerzada and we got to see a new perspective of his personality. Here are ten things we all did not know about him which he disclosed on Samina Peerzada’s show:
He was brought up only by his mom:
HSY was brought up only by his mother. His father was the youngest MNA in Benazir Bhutto’s time. His parents got divorced and they shifted from Pakistan to Dubai initially. Hassan has one sister Afshan who is four years older than him. After living for a few years in Dubai the family had to shift to the USA. Hassan’s mother worked several jobs to bring him up and she is the one who instilled in him that hard work is not something that makes you lesser, it actually makes you greater than others.
His unique Urdu accent is because of staying away from Pakistan:
Hassan Shehryar Yasin is mostly pointed out for a very unique accent. Many say it is made up since he is very fluent in the language. He clarified that he went away from Pakistan at a very meagre age and came back when he was about 16 or 17 years, it is then when he learned Urdu thus his accent is different.
Hassan and his sister were separated for years:
Hassan’s only sibling, his sister Afshan was brought up in London after they moved from Dubai while he and his mother were in NewYork. Because his mother could only take care of one person at that time, Hassan’s sister lived in London and moved back with them when she started college. Even after living away for so many years, the family maintained their closeness and fought the circumstances like a unit which is why they are where they are today.
HSY’s friends have been a support system:
Friends are something that makes things look easier for you. A good friend is better than a huge fortune combined. Hassan is a very friendly person but he has four best friends who have been with him all his life. Tahira Syed’s daughter Kiran, designer Kamiar Rokni, Maheen and Taimoor Ahmed have been his friends for years now and these are the people he always comes back to.
Hassan’s Mother’s Salary:
When they came back to Pakistan, circumstances were still not supportive. Hassan’s mother used to earn four thousand rupees from her job while he himself has worked at Pace as a check out boy, painted homes and has even worked in construction. His mother is a very brave lady and the mother-son duo together became what HSY is today.
He became blind for a year in his teenage:
When he was 16, he met with an accident. He went through the car’s windshield and shards of glass got stuck in his eyes. He had 16 corrective surgeries for it but couldn’t see. He was depressed and stuck in blindness. He could only see red after his eyesight came back. He considers red the colour of life and therefore his collections have a lot of red in it. He likes to see details and therefore he uses a lot of patterns in his collections too. During that difficult time, his mother and sister were the support system that got him to go through that trauma and not break.
He also did a lot of modelling:
HSY had a lot of scars due to his accident but he still did a lot of shows as a model. He was rejected by many but then Nilofar Shahid gave him the opportunity to work. He felt shattered after the scars he got due to his accident but he built his confidence back and did a lot of modelling.
Hassan met his father for the first time at the age of 17:
After coming back to Pakistan, Hassan met his father for the first time at the age of 17. He is his father’s only son and now takes care of him since he is very ill. He has made peace with his past and does not hold any grudges or disappointments towards his father. His father is very proud of him and knows how big his son has made.
People Who Don’t Know Me Call Me Sheru More-HSY:
His first name is Hassan Shehryar Most people call him that. His nickname is Sheru and some people do call him that too. He has noticed that more the people do not know him, more they be casual with him and call him Sheru instead f his full name.
He wants to work for education:
Hassan is very passionate about education and his biggest achievement is his education. He wants to make education available for others and wants to start a permanent scholarship program for that. He has not yet started working on this idea but wants to do it.
Not everyone successfully lands from Instagram to the showbiz industry. Not everyone is some yesteryear star’s kid. Some people have it tough, very tough. They are the people who start from scratch to to be somebody. To make a name for themselves in the industry where good looks are given importance over talent and your PR is everything. One man set on an uncertain journey and is over the moon now a days.
Imran Ashraf hails from Islamabad and lives in Karachi now a days because it is the entertainment capital of the country. He did a play where he played Arifa Siddiqui’s son as a child artist. He was then sent to a boarding school and upon graduation he joined his father’s business. After it was liquidated, he had nowhere to go. While he was figuring out about his future, he was called a by director friend of his to Karachi. He had one scene to play in Wafa Kaisi Kahan Ka Ishq and he says that it was so bad that the makers wanted it to be removed.
He shares that once he was abused by an actor saying, “Where have you picked up this so-and-so from?’ It was just a beginning for him. He says his Urdu was not good, either and he had to work a lot on it. He would read newspapers, listen to the radio and news to improve it. He said while he was improving as an actor, he was not getting enough work. Around two years went by without work and he wanted to run away. But the worse was yet to come. he had hit rock bottom and was living day to day. He had finally decided to go back.
But his struggle was finally paying off. One day an assistant friend of his called him saying that a known actor was offered a negative role but he was not interested anymore. The set was ready and they needed an actor. Imran made it to the set. The director screen tested him once and he got the part. But the struggle was not ready to end for good. He started to get typecast and people started to see him as a villian in real life, too. He says he was treated differently than the people who played negative roles.
But things have changed for him for the better. He says now he can choose the parts he wants to do. His Alif, Allah Aur Insaan act won him the best supporting actor award by Hum TV in Canada. His written serial Tabeer starring Iqra Aziz became a huge success and he is starring in ARY Digital’s Dil Moam Ka Diya which is leading the TRP charts.
Farhad Hamayun is someone who turned a Punjabi film song into a sensational pop song on Coke Studio. He is the lead vocalist of the band Overload. He’s made a huge name for himself in small time and is considered to be a respected musician. He’s a son of actor and educationist Navid Shahzad who played an important role in Punjab Nahin Jaungi last year
Farhad was doing well as a musician only until he was recently diagnosed with brain tumor two weeks ago. The overload frontman said that he also suffered from a seizure. He posted earlier in the morning today about his illness on Facebook and the post went viral. He did not reveal if the tumor is cancerous and removed the post from public access.
The post read, “Dear friends, family, fans, it was about two weeks ago that I was diagnosed with a brain tumor due to which I suffered a seizure. I have been lucky to find the greatest surgeon in the world to operate on me but it has not been easy, I thank you for your prayers and messages of love. I have had little or no symptoms until very recently – I am told by my doctor, my active and healthy lifestyle and general attitude of positivity have enabled me to stay strong underneath and I am recovering quickly. I am truly blessed to have you all in my life, whether close or remote. Please remember that when you complain, things could be a lot worse. Please treasure your relationships and savour every moment because life can be taken away from you quicker than you can imagine. I will be back with more music, videos and art as soon as I get my strength and stamina back and exit these dark skies. I won’t slow down or give up or feel sorry for myself. God has been very kind to me. I have had everything that I ever desired. I’ve been fortunate to work and play with the greatest musicians and artists, in the history of the world. And I did it my way. My family has been my biggest strength and friends have helped me overcome obstacles and hurdles. I have had a beautiful and fulfilling life and am very lucky to be alive. Life comes with its setbacks and challenges and we steer as best as we can. I plan to make a full recovery with all the strength I can rein in from the universe and beyond! I am honoured to contribute to the soundtrack of your lives. Thank you for giving me the chance. Don’t let anyone or anything ever bring you down.”
It is true that life is not fair and we appreciate Hamayun’s attitude. We wish him a speedy recovery, blessings and prayers.
People in Pakistan really appreciate it when celebrities turn to spirituality and religion. Junaid Jamshed made a successful transition and many other celebrities including Urooj Nasir and Sara Ali have chosen the same path. Former film star Noor Bukhari was the latest to join them. But that does not stop people from spreading rumors. Earlier she was rumored to be marrying Bushra Maneka’s first husband Khawar Maneka but she rubbished the rumors.
The actor recently came clean about many things in her latest interview to a leading daily. She was also previously criticized for attending movie premieres and other events despite having chosen to be a religious person. The actor says she is looking forward to being a part of a religious program but she is not getting any. She says people prefer spice and glamour over religious shows.
The former star has joined a healing group called Mast Mast Healers. She said, “After joining this group, I have become even more religious… it has changed my life,” She further expressed. “The biggest change is that I have started forgiving all of those who have hurt me in the past.”
She further spoke of her experience saying, “My life changed the minute I chose to put on my hijab. I cannot put into words the experience I have had but I will say that I really felt what an ideal life feels like after choosing religion.” She added, “I have always had a lot of love for my family but after this year, I have a general sense of love for all of humanity.” Well, we totally appreciate her decision wish her all the best.
Good looks and talent run in her genes. She has a beautiful sister who is also singer and just made her acting debut. She has an equally talented brother who is a heartthrob and a very fine actor. She herself is gorgeous and has successfully established herself as a movie a star.
She was the first from her generation to feature in a Bollywood film. It may not have been a big success but that didn’t stop her from being awesome. Her latest act in Arth 2 was phenomenal where she played a schizophrenic diva. She is one actor who pulls of sexy like no one else and she makes no bones about it. She’s none other than ever gorgeous Humaima Malik.
She may seem to be a sizzling and glamorous movie heroine but that has never limited her acting talent. She has pulled off a beautiful bar girl in a Bollywood film as well as a strong Zainab in Bol. She is very choosy about her projects and that is what makes everyone look forward to what she is doing next.
She was in a marriage that could not last for long but did it stop her? No, for sure. It was just a beginning for her to set on a journey to be the bonafide diva. Her latest pictures say so.
A few days ago we reported how Ayeza Khan had made a grand entry with her entourage to Emporium Mall in Lahore. Ayeza was attending the launch of Alkaram’s Winter Collection. She has been their brand ambassador for a while now and has done a couple of campaigns for them. On TV, Ayeza comes across as an innocent desi girl, while in her fashion shoots she channels diva side of hers.
But her latest pictures which are doing rounds on the internet off late prove otherwise. She can look as much innocent and beautiful in her shoots as she does in her TV outings. Ayeza looks like a vision in white in her latest pictures.
Currently, Ayeza’s Koi Chand Rakh opposite Imran Abbas and Muneeb Butt where she plays Rabail is running on ARY Digital. Ayeza’s performance in the play is being lauded by everyone. The drama also seems to be doing extremely well on the rating charts. Ayeza has previously appeared with Imran in Mohabat Tumse Nafrat Hai which aired on Geo Entertainment.
Ayeza Khan has recently confirmed being a part of Nadeem Baig’s latest serial written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar opposite Hamayun Saeed. It is called Mere Paas Tum Ho. This will be Ayeza’s first project with Hamayun. She has previoulsy worked with the writer-director duo in Pyare Afzal which proved to be a massive hit.
Best On-Screen couples of Pakistani dramas in 2018 are all those on-screen couples which totally won the viewers over. Many factors contribute to making an on-screen couple a complete success. The number one factor has to be the actors and the chemistry they share. No matter how well-written a track is, it falls flat if the actors involved do not look like they are connected to each other at some level. On-screen chemistry is undeniably the most important factor. Some actors naturally share great on-screen chemistry and when such actors share screen space, there are bound to be fireworks. Having said that, one cannot deny the importance of a well-written script. Black and white characters and run-of-the-mill love stories do not have the same impact on the viewers now because the drama watching audience has so much to choose from. Therefore, love stories which are convincing as well as enticing and characters which are intriguing play a major role in making these on-screen couples a hit.
Here is a list of the best on-screen couples of Pakistani Dramas in the year 2018. The list is short because there were very few on-screen couples which truly managed to win the viewers over.
Arsal and Jiya (Suno Chanda)
Arsal and Jiya’s love story was a romantic comedy which kept the viewers looking forward to more every week. Their love-hate relationship, their fun and engaging characters and Farhan Saeed and Iqra Aziz‘s on-screen chemistry made their on-screen couple a massive success. Arsal and Jiya were cousins who were forced into a nikkah and most of their track covered how they tried to break free from this forced connection. Their very filmy and sweet love story was liked so much that viewers want to see them together on-screen again. The overall feel of this play and the way their characters were written definitely added to the charm. The fact that these two lived under the same roof and were always interacting with each other made their scenes a treat to watch. The viewers did not have to wait for them to be together since they were always with each other even when they couldn’t bear to see each others faces.Their nok jhok continued right till the end which was the best part of their track.
Samra and Sarang (Pukaar)
Yumna Zaidi and Zahid Ahmed as friends are at a great comfort level with each other and that is why every time they come together, they perform brilliantly and share an amazing on-screen chemistry. The first time they were seen in Zara Yaad Kar and this year in Pukaar. Even though they did not have a lot of scenes together but those few scenes where Samra and Sarang had conversations used to be the highlight of the episode. It is because of their chemistry that everyone was rooting for their characters ever since Pukaar began. The last episode of Pukaar was a treat where Samra and Sarang confessed love for each other, Yumna Zaidiand Zahid Ahmed made it cute and very romantic.
Aairah and Junaid (Khudgarz)
People fell in love with Aairah and Junaid not only because their characters were written and performed beautifully but also because both Amina Sheikh and Syed Jibran gave their characters such a beautiful treatment that all those moments that they shared seemed even more special and heartfelt. Every time Junaid and Aairah came together, there was this vibe about them which made them look perfect together and the credit goes to Amina Sheikh and Syed Jibran for elaborating it beautifully that two people who had nothing to do with each other became fell so much in love that they could not live without one another.
Abeer and Raheel (Khudgarz)
Again, Abeer and Raheel were a result of an intelligent writing but to see Mansha Pasha and Salman Saeed together in one frame turned out to be a treat for the viewers of Khudgarz. Their scenes were cute and casual which were acted brilliantly by Mansha Pashaand Salman Saeed. Their relationship was being rooted for because of the situation that Abeer was faced with and the way Raheel not only loved her but chose to treat her with respect. All of those conversations that they had before and after marriage brought a smile to our face because there was so much truth and reality in it. They both looked amazing together and we wish we get to see them sharing screen again.
Naina and Zaid (Woh Mera Dil Tha)
Naina and Zaid were two of the most meaningful and beautifully etched-out characters this year. The way their paths met and the manner in which their character development was covered was number one reason why this on-screen couple is simply unforgettable. Sami Khanand Madiha Imam‘s undeniable on-screen chemistry and the way they translated these characters on-screen made their scenes the only reason why most viewers tuned into the show. Although this drama had other side tracks too but it was Zaid and Naina’s love story that made the viewers tune into it every week. Even with all the ups and down these two faced the viewers rooted for them right till the end. Zaid and Naina’s love story was simply beautiful and extremely poignant. Sami Khan and Madiha Imam always create magic whenever they appear on screen together but this love story was quite different from everything else they have done so far.
Which on-screen couple was your favorite this year? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
Baba Jani Episode 9 Story Review – Asfand continues to be a one-of-a-kind hero who is wise and caring at the same time. Asfand’s sisters on the other hand get on your nerves, Najiba is more annoying than everyone else and her scenes can easily be forwarded because they are more or less the same in every episode.
Sadia, Nimra and Asfand’s Heart-Warming Relationship
The relationship these three individuals share is touching and their scenes are a treat to watch. Nimra is gradually getting more comfortable around Asfand. The way Asfand showed his love for Nimra was sweet and the manner in which Sadia thanked him every time was also really nice. Savera Nadeem’s expressions were brilliant in this episode because there were so many scenes in which she had to express how Sadia was feeling through her expressions. So far, Sadia has been shown as an intelligent woman but she also seems to be falling for Naila’s trap. Naila understand that a woman in Sadia’s situation will naturally have a lot of insecurities therefore she is doing whatever she can to trigger them. Sadia has also been shown as a simple woman therefore she will in the next episode do what Naila asked her to. Once again, I hope Asfand’s reaction will prove to be the reason why her confidence is restored. Asfand, Sadia and Nimra’s relationship dynamics have been covered convincingly in all these episodes. Sadia and Asfand both are likeable characters and it is not difficult to understand Nimra’s situation. Madiha Imam is absolutely brilliant in this role and Faysal Qureshi has done complete justice to his character as well.
More Family Politics
The family politics in this drama continues to be the same in every episode. The sisters keep on coming up with new plans to prove to Asfand that Sadia is not as sincere with him as he thinks. Their scenes should have been chopped down. Asfand’s reactions however are always a breath of fresh air. We continuously watch leading men in dramas being manipulated by either their mothers, sisters or wives therefore watching a man who has learned his lesson and does not fall for the manipulation is definitely pleasing to watch. The fact that Asfand wasn’t always like this and he learned from his mistake makes his character more human as well as likable. Najiba once again tried to create a misunderstanding between Asfand and Sadia, it did seem like perhaps this time Asfand will fall for the trap but on the other hand he once again showed that he was capable of judging scenarios himself.
The Weak Points
The timeline was seriously confusing in this episode. Did it cover an entire day or two days? It was difficult to understand when the birthday started and at what time it ended. Apart from this, Najiba’s scenes really should be chopped down because they are highly repetitive. The scene in the restaurant could have been shot more convincingly because it looked like they were all sitting in someone’s dining area. The phone call to Nasir looked “fake” – impossible to connect to – since he has been completely missing in the past few weeks.
The Strengths
Baba Jani is not faultless but it definitely deserves due credit for showing a man in a different light, that is its main strength and the reason why I tune into this drama every week. Usually the writers use a foolish and gullible hero as an easy way to take the story forward therefore I truly appreciate the fact that Baba Jani offers something completely different and does so convincingly. Savera Nadeem and Faisal Qureshi look great together and their character too are extremely likable. I was not expecting Savera Nadeem’s role in the drama to be so substantial therefore that has really been a pleasant surprise. I also feel that the real story has not even started yet, it will start when Asfand has to take up the role of Baba Jani for good. Mehwish will return in Asfand’s life at some point, that is also something to look forward to especially because Asfand blames himself now for ruining her life. Looking forward to watching what this drama has in store for us!
The Preview
The preview of the next episode showed that Sadia decides to get a makeover and her sister in laws make fun of her. It also showed Saqib harassing Nimra – will Asfand finally put his foot down and ask Saqib to leave?
Muslims all over the world are a nation and it is the nation’s responsibility to look after each other. Islam is a religion of peace and encourages all its followers to help the ones in need and stand for those who are being wronged. Many of our celebrities work for the underprivileged and use their celebrity status to do good in the world. Our Syrian brethren are going through the most difficult of times. With taking refuge in different countries they are in pain and homeless.
Among many celebs who have taken up the initiative to help them, one is our very own Armeena Rana Khan. Armeena has been raising funds for the Syrians for quite some time now. The actress went to distribute donations on her own and also visited the area to understand the situation on her own. She shared the moments on her Instagram. Here have a look:
Zaid Ali T is a comedian and one of the very first Pakistani social media stars. He made a name for himself through his brown vs white parents videos and was an overnight star. People loved his ideas and many others started copying him too. Zaid has since become a part of many big shows and has a huge social media following.
Zaid Ali got married to his wife Yumna last year and the couple has shared many pictures together since then. The couple looks beautiful together and is so in love. Here are some pictures of Zaid Ali and his wife Yumna Zaid:

Fakhr felt glad at the love and warmth he has been getting since he has started his mission. He shared it on his Twitter:
Fakhr e Alam will complete his mission in 28 days and will bring Pakistan a new thing to be proud of!
Ohkay so, this episode of Koi Chand Rakh was definitely well-executed. I can see that things are now changing & getting intense which was much needed because so far the story has been pretty basic without anything new to offer!
Planning & Plotting Against Rabail:
Well, Rabail is trying really hard to make things work & she is giving it all to connect with Zain but Zain is not even trying for obvious reasons. Yes, Rabail & Zain are two different people but Zain has not even given Rabail a fair chance as right from day 1 he has built this wall between them which Rabail is unable to cross.
It wouldn’t be Koi Chand Rakh without some basic flaws like Zain came to Asad’s place to discuss business matters & Nishal welcomed him as if nothing was wrong in his life or he just didn’t go through his father’s death. All Nishal could think of was Zain’s indifferent behavior towards her but even for once she did not show some consideration that Zain must be emotionally upset. Nishal kept on pestering Zain using Rabail’s name whereas Zain for a second did think about the promise he almost made to his father but forgot about it the moment Nishal started hovering around him. Also, Zain’s fluctuating behavior & expressions were funny. In the morning he left home very serious with a lot of responsibilty on his shoulders but by the time he returned, he came back as Nishal’s love-sick boyfriend who was throwing tantrums in front of his mother.
Rabail is always going to be at the losing end no matter what she does. To be honest, as much as a sympathize with Rabail, I am getting bored of her bad-luck. I know circumstances will turn in her favor in the end but for now, I am getting tired of seeing things always being against her. Rabail’s concern for Umair was twisted by Nishal & presented in a very different manner in front of Zain but then this is what is going to happen again & again as Nishal wants Zain by hook or by crook.
I don’t understand Zain’s mother either. At one hand she wouldn’t even reply to Rabail’s Salam but on the other hand she wants Rabail to act as her watchman because aunty was alone in her home. Hmmm, where was Sobi? Busy chasing after Zia Bhai? Well, as the episode progressed it was nice to see Zain’s mother softening up for Rabail & trying to defend her too. She can obviously see that her son is struggling & is unable to adjust well with her but it was nice of her to say that Zain should give Rabail a chance.
I found it funny how Rabail just ignored her mum-in-law’s order & continued to do her thing, be it spending time with Umair at the hospital, making soup for him at home or having a long meaningful conversation with Asad regarding Umair’s future. When her MIL ordered I thought Rabail will go back but she didn’t, lol. Also yes, when Nishal made coffee for Zain she said Nafeesa chutti pe hai, whereas she refered to her housemaid as Shumaila before & we all know that Nafeesa is her mother’s name, lol, like I said it wouldn’t be Koi Chand Rakh without these funny glitches.
Closing Thoughts – Better Than Previous Episodes:
Overall, I will say that I found this episode of Koi Chand Rakh a lot better than the previous episodes. I must say that everyone has been acting brilliantly but Muneeb Butt takes the crown, he really has performed phenomenally as Umair. The preview of the next one has caught my interest too. I hope Zia Bhai doesn’t linger the secret for too long & tell Rabail everything quickly. He must get back at both Nishal & Zain for bistiofying him again & again. Kadam barhao Zia Bhai hum tumhare saath hain, lol. On this note, please share your thoughts about this episode of Koi Chand Rakh.

It undoubtedly is a fact that celebrities have to look beautiful and have to stay on top of their game in order to stay in demand in this career. Celebrities are those people that have a huge fan-following and are looked upto by a lot of young impressionable admirers and that is why, everything that celebrities endorse clicks with their supporters as they being loyal to their idols do what they are being told to.
Apart from looking beautiful (by hook or by crook) our celebrities also have a huge responsibility on their shoulders to teach their young fan-following a thing or two – which also include instilling the idea of natural beauty and self-confidence in them.
From the last few years, our celebrities not only started relying on cosmetic procedures but also started openly endorsing them by promoting it either on morning shows or their social media accounts. The argument that they present states that it is not a bad thing to change or improve what you don’t like about yourself. Yes, it is their face and they are entitled to do what they want to but to promote it to younger generation by instilling low self-esteem, fears and vulnerabilities in them is not at all justified because for people from regular walks of life, looking beautiful is not the only purpose of their lives.
It is unfortunate when we see our perfectly beautiful actresses resorting to such procedures in order to look better but they end up looking like a poster of ‘which doctor you should not go to’ because the changes in them are anything but beautiful.
One such actress who has scared and scarred her followers is Sadia Imam who has recently made appearances on different shows back to back. Sadia Imam does not shy away from endorsing and promoting these procedures and she shares everything that she gets done to her face on her social media handles.
We would like to believe that Sadia Imam is a wise woman with a huge success and fame under her belt so we are not sure why she has been displaying so much of desperation over the years? Has her career graph deteriorated or she has harboured some major complexes over these years? What we know is that Sadia Imam was loved by everyone because of her craft and phenomenal acting skills and she got all this fame way before she looked like what she looks like now, so not sure what is the force motivating her to do this to herself?
With passing age, people garner more wisdom and vision but in Sadia Imam’s case, we can only see desperation and attention-seeking that too at the expense of her beautiful features which are definitely unable to handle the amount of botox and filler that has been injected into them.
What are your thoughts? Do you prefer the old beautiful Sadia Imam who was famous for who she was or the new Sadia Imam who is a result of a lot of injections and is a flag bearer of cosmetic procedures?
Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated each year on October 31. It occurred on Wednesday, October 31 this year. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. This time, like last year, it was celebrated with a bang by celebrities in Pakistan.
Ayesha Omer shared a picture on her Instagram teasing fans with her Halloween look. She looked scary and gorgeous at the same time. Another celebrity who shared her look was Sajal Ali. She did try to look her dreadful best but she still looks very cute.
Hania Amir has been a reigning queen on Instagram because of her Dubsmash videos. So, how could she not make the most of Halloween. She too went on to share her Halloween look with her fans.
While, some of the celebrities just gave a glimpse of their looks on Halloween this year, Nabila took Halloween celebrations to another level this year by throwing a bash called The Fantasy Pop Up. Different models were given different looks. Fauzia Aman and Sadaf Kanwal pulled their looks with utmost ease. No doubt, why they are supermodels. One person who rocked the look was Nabila herself.
Nabila dressed herself as Willy Wonka. Sadaf Kanwal’s selfie with Tabish Khoja is all things scary.
Fauzia Aman as the snap chat princess.
When everybody is so busy celebrating Halloween, how could Nadia Khan stay behind.
Imran Abbas is a name that needs no introduction at all. His name headlining a project is a sure shot way of success. He’s got great looks. He was recently nominated for World’s 100 Most Handsome Men list. He is talented and he does not seem to age at all. I am sure his female costars feel insecure of him. In short, he is perfection.
Yet he has seen a fair share of ups and downs in his career. His Bollywood debut did not turn out to be as expected and he had to return to television in his home country. He was initially making his debut against Akshay Kumar and Aditi Rao Hyderi in a film called Boss. He also auditioned for PK. But he finally appeared in a horror film Creature opposite Bipasha Basu.
While it is a fact and he also recently disclosed that he was offered Aashiqui 2 but he declined the offer. He said he was sorry about his decision. Not many people may know this but he was also the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela which nobody knows why he couldn’t be a part of.
Well, he could not be part of Ram Leela but there is another film that he, as per rumors, was doing. The film is tentatively called Heera Mandi and is a dream project of Sanjay Leela Bhansali which he has been trying to make for a good 10 years. But as rumors are rumors, recently, Bhansali clarified in an interview saying, “These are all rumours. He is definitely not in the film. This news is completely false. I would rather cast an Indian actor for the role.” Our bad that we won’t be able to see Imran in a Bollywood film anytime soon. Till then we can only hope he does a film in Pakistan. Currently, Imran’s drama Koi Chand Rakh is on-air on ARY Digital.
Mahira Khan is always in news and for all the right reasons. When she isn’t doing film promotions. She’s misses no chance to use her super stardom for the issues that need awareness.

Earlier we reported that Mahira is in Los Angeles these days to attend fundraiser for Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital. While she did auction a bat signed by Imran Khan who is the founder of the hospital, she now seems to be attending a few more events where she talked about the breast cancer awareness.
According to the latest reports, Mahira visited Facebook Headquarters in Silicon Valley, California. She can be seen looking her causal best. It doesn’t matter where Mahira is, she is always style goals. She was seen in a beautiful green Shalwar Kameez only a day ago during her attendance at the fundraising gala.
She also attended a session where she was interviewed about her experience as an ambassador to the breast cancer awareness program by Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital.
She may seem to be enjoying her visit to the headquarters, she does not take her responsibility lightly. She recently slammed a troll on twitter who mocked at one of her posts regarding breast cancer awareness.
