Ayeza Khan has a massive fan following not only because she is a great performer but also because she always makes a special effort to keep in touch with her fans. While there are many other celebrities who insist that their personal life is their own and they do not need to share details of this life with their fans, Ayeza Khan is not like that. Although, she knows that people keep on making negative comments on her pictures and videos but she still shares her life with her fans in the shape of pictures, videos and this time a quotation which says a great deal about her.
Ayeza Khan’s entire career is a testament to the fact that she is loaded with self-confidence. It is due to this confidence that she never had any trouble facing the camera.
Ayeza Khan has also recently changed her style altogether. There was a time when she did not experiment a lot with her looks but now in all of her dramas she has experimented with different looks which suited her characters. Her fans are happy to have her back and love her energy! Ayeza Khan has also chosen to be versatile. All her projects showed a different side of her brilliant acting skills. In the drama Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei she played the role of a stubborn girl while in the serial Tum Kon Piya she played the role of a simple girl.

Everyone knows that Sabreen Hisbani and Sanam Baloch are sisters but a lot of people don’t know who started working in the entertainment industry first. While talking to Yasir Hussein on his show, Sanam Baloch shared a few interesting details about how she entered into showbiz and what it feels like to have a sister who is also a celebrity.
She said,
“Sabreen is the reason why I started getting roles in dramas. The producers used to cast me because I was Sabreen’s sister and they thought that Sabreen’s sister must be a good actress and must be committed. That’s how I got work in the beginning.”
Sanam Baloch also talked about the way their family members criticized them. She also said that sometimes the criticism is unbearable. She also said,
“My family members at times praise me more than Sabreen but I feel I have no competition with her, she is a far better actress than me!”
Faysal Qureshi is a well known actor but apart from his acting skills he is also known for raising awareness about social issues. He is one of those very few morning show hosts who try their best to talk about relevant social issues whenever they can.

Defence day is a really important day for all Pakistanis, it is the day when the armed forces of Pakistan proved to the world that they were entirely capable of defending their homeland. On this important day Faysal Qureshi recorded this video message which is both heart-warming and meaningful. In this video he paid tribute to those martyrs who lost their lives and also the mothers who are even today proud of the fact that their sons gave their lives for Pakistan!
A super-model, an entrepreneur, a family woman and a mommy to be Mehreen Syed walked the ramp on the ongoing PLBW18 for Reema Sherbano. She was wearing a silver lehenga with intricate designs and looked ethereal when she came on the ramp. Mehreen is expecting for the second time, she has a beautiful daughter before. Here are the looks from her walk:
‘JPNA 2’ has been a huge success and JPNA team is over the moon. Humayun Saeed was interviewed today by dawn and despite being extremely tired of giving interviews he was still very charming.
Talking about Jawani Phir Nahi Ani franchise he said,
“You know after JPNA did well, everybody we’d meet would ask us for another film like that. And that’s when we decided to make a sequel, including everything that struck a chord with the audience. But we made JPNA 2 different; it was a conscious decision because no matter how great a film you make, they’ll always draw comparisons or find the first one better.”
He further added,
“It’s very difficult living up to expectations, so I’d already thought about how people might feel there’s something missing in the second part. Which is why [writer] Vasay [Chaudhry], [director] Nadeem [Beyg] and I wanted to change it a little. So we gave the audiences romance and a story as well, which is why it was slightly serious, whereas the first one was a complete comedy. But the humour, of course, has its own place!”
When asked about how he faced criticism for him still playing a ‘larka’ he said,
“The boy within me hasn’t died yet. And as long as he lives, you’ll get to see him and people will like him. I’m sure there are people out there who don’t like my work, but I would’ve been worried had they not been there. All over the world, we see heroes leading films at 60; I’m a bacha in front of them. Shah Rukh Khan, etc are about a decade older than me.”
He further added,
“Acceptance will take time here because we’re way too judgmental. [My critics] aren’t used to cinema-going, so they’re opening up now. But I guess it’s a part of our job, one has to take the bitter with the sweet, but the masses accept me and enjoy what I do, that’s all.”
When asked about how the JPNA franchise is criticized for not having substantial female roles he said,
“You see, as a producer, the story comes first for me. The concept needs to be good and I’ve always tried that all lead characters have their own space. I strongly believe that even if it’s a male-oriented story, the girl’s part can’t be completely irrelevant. Some stories, on the other hand, just happen to not have very strong female or even male roles. With the films we make, we at least try that there’s something for actors to play with.”
Talking about women abuse and the efforts he is making as a producer for women empowerment he said,
“I respect women and that’s the way it should be. Harassment does exist worldwide, and I’m completely against taking women for a ride. We all have families and I stand against harassment. Thankfully, I’m one of those people who can get along with everybody in the field and I’m friends with the women I work with, but I respect them foremost.”
Talking about the things that still excite him as an actor after being in this profession for decades he said,
“Challenges excite me! For the first five years, I was simply struggling to make a place for myself and get people to like my work. After that, you feel the need to hone your craft and polish your skills further. Then, I really wanted films to be made again. My first movie Inteha (1999) did really well but then cinema was at an all-time low.”
“Finally, Indian films started screening here and cineplexes opened up. The cinema-going audience returned and that’s when I realised I had to make my own movie. And now, I still get as nervous as a newcomer before shooting any scene; I think yeh masoomiat rehni chahiye.”
Talking about his future projects he said,
“Of course, JPNA has become a proper franchise and we’re planning on coming out with the next one in two years. For now, we’re working on two other films, one’s being written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar and the other by Vasay Chaudhry.”
Meri Guriya’s script so far definitely fits the bill, every episode is disturbing and distressing but at the same time there is always hope that ultimately the person responsible will be punished. Tonight’s episodes of Meri Guriya took the story forward considerably and the developments tonight were crucial to the plot. The writer has introduced the climax at the right time without stretching the events before the climax unnecessarily. Ever since Shehnaz and Safeena have joined hands, Dabeer has been making one mistake after the other. In the previous episode Of Meri Guriya, he locked the door of his house from the outside and even though Yawar saw him and asked him for help, he decided to stay put! In this episode it was good to see Yawar and Safeena both questioning Dabeer repeatedly, they wanted to know why he did not unlock the door. They also started wondering if indeed he was the one who locked the door in the first place. Safeena also had plenty of reasons to doubt Dabeer – Jahan Ara’s confession that Dabeer used to give her sleeping pills – and everything else she said made Safeena observe those things about Dabeer’s personality which she had not before. She even checked his locked cupboard but found nothing. By the end of this episode, Shehnaz too was not really sure if Dabeer actually was as innocent as he pretended to be. All these developments were shown in detail and showed a major shift in the story.
Dialogues
Dialogues play an important role in making the screenplay more interesting and attention-grabbing. All the questions which the characters asked tonight were logical and every conversation added something to the conclusions these characters were going to draw eventually. The dialogues in this play have been written in such a way that they are effective but at the same they are natural. You never feel like the characters are lecturing the viewers even when they maybe giving an important message through these dialogues. Also, the scenes which were self-explanatory were not supported by dialogues, which is always a great idea!
Scenes and Editing
There were so many scenes in this episode which were shot perfectly. The close-ups, the timing of the scenes and the duration too was perfect. None of the scenes were stretched and there wasn’t a single filler scene in this episode which made it thrilling and happening as usual.
Characters and Performances
The performances in this play always leave me in awe of some of these wonderful actors who have so much to offer. Mohsin Abbas Haider‘s award-winning performance continues to be the best part of this drama. His effortless portrayal of a psychopath murderer never fails to impress. Mohsin Abbas Haider’s dialogue delivery and expressions both were outstanding in this episode. Dabeer’s character shows why looks can be extremely deceptive. He uses his “shyness” and “innocence” as a shield and it works every single time. Sania Saeed is absolutely brilliant as the wise and strong mother who sometimes loses her will to fight but always makes a comeback. The way she speaks to her daughters in particular is amazing! I love Shehnaz the mother and the warrior, she is an inspiration. Sonya Hussyn has also been superb throughout. Her character has so much to offer but it would not have been this effective, had it not been translated on screen so well. Safeena is the kind of woman most men feel threatened from. Even those people who had nothing to do with Abida’s murder are scared of her and want her out of their way because according to them, she is promoting liberalism. Safeena’s character is easy to relate to and even more likeable because she too has her weak moments and she is also perfectly capable of making wrong decisions. I really like Faris Shafi as Yawar too. Shahnawaz’s role keeps me guessing, he has changed a lot but we don’t really know why or how! Surely, his daughter’s death was the main reason but even then his character is confusing.
Preview Of The Next Episode
The preview of the next episode was a complete disaster! These previews should be short and should not give too much away but this particular preview practically gave away the most important developments of the next episode and I honestly regret watching it! After such a powerful episode which keeps you looking forward to more, it was nothing short of a blunder to show everything beforehand!
Feroze Khan and Alizey Feroze Khan are a star couple loved by many. Last night Feroze Khan took his better half on a bike ride and ever since the internet can not get enough of the two. Humaima Malick shared their bike ride and captioned it,
Mahira Khan always uses her star power to bring light towards issues of the society. The diva spent time with refugees and talked about the United Nation’s initiatives about the refugees and appreciated Pakistan’s efforts in hosting a huge number of Afghanis for decades. She further emphasised that trip: It is always great to see our celebrities working towards the betterment of the society and bringing light to the larger issues of the world!
Actor-Anchor Ali Saleem better known for his role as Begum Nawazish Ali is in the news again. He was arrested today on the charge of possessing alcohol.
iuygh
Ali was at a guest house when police took him and his friend in custody for alcohol possession. He was arrested and taken to Clifton Police Station.
The case has been lodged against him in the said Police station:
The police raided the place after they got news about a kidnapped child, several people were arrested from the scene including Ali.
Meera supported Ali in this scandal as she said that she was also present at the same guest house for the shoot. Though she does not know if Ali had alcohol in his room or not, she still supports him for being a fellow artist.
Ali Saleem also apologised to the police for his misbehaviour:
Ohkay so, Dil Mom Ka Diya Episode 3 & 4 were fun to watch. To be honest when I tuned to this drama I had this idea that it is going to be a typical story with a lot of clichés to its credit but I must say, if directed & done well, simplest of stories & characters can look good & that is the case with Dil Mom Ka Diya. After watching this episode my thoughts have changed & I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the story because it is obvious that it has been handled with a lot of maturity.
Progress In The Episode:
This episode focused a lot more on Afzal & Ulfat’s relationship after marriage. Usually people think that those men who get married late are very rigid & stern but Afzal’s character turned out to be a breath of fresh air. Right from the beginning he got to realize that he & Ulfat are poles apart but he never once paid heed to their differences & only kept one thing in mind, that he had to make this marriage work & accept Ulfat the way she is. To be honest, Afzal & Ulfat’s couple & their relationship had the potential of looking cringey but the way both Yasir Nawaz & Neelam Muneer handled it & presented it on screen made it the most enjoyable aspect of the story that we have seen till date. Afzal continued to give Ulfat the edge & showed acceptance to her & she continued being unapologetically herself.
Even though Ulfat has that in her that she might not be liked by the viewers in general but I liked the fact that the writer kept her humane. Despite the objections Ulfat had regarding Afzal, she melted when she saw how fragile her father’s condition was & how Afzal was going out of the way to make sure he was treated well & had all the medical facilities. Who would have thought that a self-centred girl like Ulfat could put her father ahead of her & silently accept what he chose for her. Even though Ulfat was unhappy but even she never let that thought surface in her mind that she should put an end to this relationship.
I must say I found myself giggling when Afzal & Ulfat had their 1st ever conversation. Things could have been so so awkward but I loved the way it was carried out, with Ulfat just being herself & Afzal just letting her be. It was so sweet how Afzal didn’t take an offence to anything that Ulfat said as he was pretty much aware of their differences. I loved the way their relationship was carried out especially the scene when Ulfat goes to her house for the first time with Afzal & lets everyone know that she is married. It was interesting to see that Afzal never once told Ulfat what he expected from her & how she should behave, in fact he allowed her to be as he was aware of their age difference that is why he never expected her to change herself.
Salma & even Kausar took offence to everything that Ulfat did. I liked how the writer kept it realistic by showing that Ulfat & Aqmal could not have a good relationship, it happens & family members do have a lot of differences & personality clashes. Even though Kausar is the youngest but she was mature enough to tell Salma that Ulfat makes Afzal happy, so things should be left the way they are because by the end of the day, Afzal has no issues with his wife. I loved the scene when Afzal chooses to ignore things that Kausar & Azhar say about Ulfat & takes part in the party they all plan when she’s gone. Yes, Ulfat has an upper hand & Afzal has let go of a lot of things that she does but it goes to show that Afzal wanted to make this marriage work & believed in giving Ulfat the freedom she wanted while being also aware of the fact that the value of his family members does not change.
Tamkinat (Hira Mani) is the new entry who happens to be Ulfat’s cousin. Tamkinat is a polar opposite of Ulfat – she is sweet, considerate & soft-spoken & Azhar couldn’t resist getting attracted to her. I am sure Azhar’s interest in Tamkinat will serve as a bone of contention between Ulfat & everyone else & things will become pretty ugly.
Ending Thoughts:
Overall, this episode of Dil Mom Ka Diya was everything that I couldn’t imagine it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it & I must appreciate the writer for making it all very realistic. Yasir Nawaz & Neelam Munir deserve a special mention because if it wasn’t for them & their phenomenal acting, Afzal & Ulfat’s relationship wouldn’t have looked this amazing with such effortless chemistry. It could have looked very awkward on screen but they showed how such couples not only exist but lead a very marital happy life too. All the other actors have done a great job too, they all have owned their characters & made things look pretty effortless. Hira Mani is a phenomenal actor so I am eager to see what she has to offer in this role – I just wish she had a shorter & easier name though but I guess in the future episodes I will change it to Tam as it is going to be convenient for me. So far I am super happy with this drama & looking forward to it. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Dil Mom Ka Diya.

Maya Ali is one of those very few Pakistani celebrities who have been really successful in a very short period of time. When Maya started her showbiz career she herself had no idea that one day she will be so popular. She has of course put in a great deal of hard work into her projects which is why right now she is the favorite of some of the leading designers in the industry.
Maya Ali always had a special preference for Nomi Ansari’s designs and has been a brand ambassador for him for a few years now. This year too at the PFDC L’Oreal Paris Bridal Week she was the show stopper for Nomi Ansari.
Here are some beautiful pictures of Maya Ali from the show and some videos.

Atif Aslam’s rendition of the old classic “Chalte Chalte” for the upcoming Bollywood film Mitron did not get the kind of appreciation from Lata Mageshkar, who originally sung the song for the iconic film Pakeeza, which the singer might have been hoping for. Tanishk Bagchi was behind the music and lyrics for this cover version. The music for the original song was given by Ghulam Mohammed and the lyrics were written by Kaifi Azmi.
Pink Villa reported that when Lata Mangeshkar was asked to comment on this rendition, she remarked,
“I don’t want to hear it. This trend of remixing old songs saddens me. Where is the creativity in simply lifting acknowledged, beloved classics and shuffling the notes around? I’ve even heard that the lyrics are changed in the remixes. By whose consent?”
Ohkay so, the production of Big Bang Productions, direction of Badar Mehmood & the writing of Zanjabeel Asim Shah – Balaa is a prime time drama that airs on Monday on ARY Digital. The first double episode of Balaa laid the foundation in which the drama is set & elaborated the dynamics between the characters & their families – where one family has made it based on their hard work & the other one has this sense of entitlement which can also be classified as a superiority complex!
Zafar (Sajid Hassan) has a daughter Nigar (Ushna Shah) & a son Junaid (Asad Siddique). Nigar is physically disabled but she uses it to her advantage. Junaid got married to Zeba, an orphan in order to save her from getting married to a man twice her age but Zafar & Nigar make sure to use it against him only to make him feel guilty all the time. Usually people think that those who are physically disabled are polite & do not blame anyone else for their hindrances but Nigar on the other hand has an inflated ego & it won’t be an understatement to say that she is quite a manipulating & conniving person who thinks she is entitled to everyone’s respect even if she doesn’t extend it towards them. Zafar is also responsible for Nigar’s attitude & the way she has turned out because he has gone out of the way to make her feel she is loved, so much so that he has fed it to her soul that she is someone super special & has the right to look down upon people even if it is her brother or his wife. Nigar is beautiful but unfortunately her personality is ugly!
Taimoor (Bilal Abbas Khan) is Zafar’s nephew. Taimoor’s father passed away & he has worked really very hard to bring himself to the level that he can now take care of his family which consists of his mother (Samina Peerzada) & 2 sisters Saleha & Batool. They are a close knit family that only speaks the language of love & respect with each other. Saleha takes after her mother in having a God-fearing heart whereas Taimoor & Batool are practical & not overly emotional to an extent of putting people before them even if they don’t deserve it.
Zafar pays a visit to Taimoor’s place on the occassion of Saleha’s engagement but just then & there he lets everyone know what his deceased brother’s family means to him by looking down on them. Zafar makes sure to let Saleha’s fiancé know that he is a wealthy businessman only because of his daughter’s luck. Zafar uses Nigar’s luck as a billboard to advertise how much wealth he has accumulated over the years. Nigar sees Taimoor on the engagement & that is when she lets her father know that she likes him & would want to get married to him.
On Taimoor’s front, he likes his family friend Saba but when his mother puts forth his proposal, Saba lets her mother Rashida know that she is interested in someone else. Even though Saba mother accepts Taimoor’s proposal then & there, I am sure Saba will make it very clear to her later on that she will not get married to Taimoor. Everyone in Taimoor’s family rejoices over the news of his marriage with Saba but Zafar who comes to fix the marriage of Nigar & Taimoor ruins everything. It was good to see Taimoor standing up for himself & reminding Zafar that he shouldn’t play the Taya or Ghar Ka Bara card because he never once showed up at their doorstep after they lost their father but then Zafar being the unreasonable person he is, tries to pressurize Taimoor as well as his mother to accept Nigar’s proposal or else he will make sure everyone else cut ties with their family.
Zafar’s unreasonability can be measured with his order to Junaid to divorce Zeba & get married to Batool in order to prove it to Taimoor that Zafar treats them as a family. Even Junaid knows that he has no value in Zafar’s eyes & he is saying all of that to fix Nigar’s wedding but then even he starts thinking on those lines & to make matters worse, he lets Zeba know who loses her calm giving a rise to another mayhem. Nigar who already was on Zeba’s case makes sure to play the victim card & blame it all on Junaid & Zeba whereas deep inside, she feels shattered that Taimoor rejected her proposal & for a girl like Nigar who can’t take no for an answer – it is a big deal.
Well, a lot happened in the first two episodes & because of the way this drama has been directed along with the way the actors have acted, it surely has piqued my interest & I will be looking forward to the rest of the story. Even though the scenario with which the drama has begun is not something new but with Zanjabeel Asim Shah as a writer, I am ready to invest my time in this drama as I am sure she is going to bring something amazing to the table. Everyone acted brilliantly & it did look like everyone has worked really hard on the look of their characters to make them look realistic but I am not too sure why Ushna Shah chose to wear a wig in stead of relying on her natural hair? Everything else was good & just the way it should have been. These weree two very strong episodes which I will most certainly recommend to the drama buffs. I am definitely looking forward to the next set of episodes. Please share your thoughts.
Faysal Qureshi is a household name with a fandom consisting of millions. The actor went live on his social media with wife Sana Faysal and daughter Ayat Qureshi. People showered the family with love and affection. Many of the followers wanted a shoutout and Faysal gave them one.
Depending on the city they lived in fans invited the family to come visit their city. Ayat was adorably energetic the whole time and Sana Faysal was so amazingly charming. This peek into the daily life of one of the biggest stars of the country sure melted many people’s hearts.
People also appreciated Faysal for the projects they liked him the most in while his own daughter said she liked that one drama of her father that was funny and he played the role of a woman so we have to assume she was talking about ‘Kis Din Mera Veyah Howay Ga’.
Overall the live session was very entertaining, take a look, (courtesy Viral&TrendingNews)

Now, Sharmeen is up on working on a project to educate women about their legal rights.
Sharmeen is making a series of 14 animated videos. The videos are titled Aagahi and they will explain the processes of legislation in Pakistan and how they affect their lives.
With the kind of oppression the world is facing and how strongly Pakistani women are standing up for themselves now, it is a very good step to make them aware of their rights!

PEMRA is no less than controversial celebrities. With nothing big airing out of place recently, they still somehow came out with a new notice as they now think that Pakistani dramas do not depict the true face of the society. Exploitation and violence in the society should not be shown in Pakistan states the notice. Here is what PEMRA has on its mind:
Actor Osman Khalid Butt had his views about this and did not shy away from sharing them. This is what he had to say:
What are your thoughts on PEMRA’s new perspective? Share in coments!
Reema Khan has always been liked by people not just because she is gifted but also for her down to earth nature. Reema always presents herself gracefully which is another reason why she has a lot of fan following. Unlike many other celebrities who get married abroad, Reema Khan has not severed her connection with Pakistan. She keeps on visiting Pakistan whenever she can and also makes sure that her fans know what she is up to even when she is abroad.
A few months back, Reema’s instagram account was hacked but two days back she posted a beautiful picture of herself and informed her fans that she was back on instagram.
Her fans are delighted to have her back. Soon after her instagram account was recovered, Reema Khan posted a beautiful picture at the airport. She looks great in a casual look. She also posted pictures from Eid Celebrations.
Sidra Batool worked for a few years in showbiz then she disappeared from the scene when she got married. She does not post a lot of pictures on social media too therefore her fans were wondering where she was.
Zarnish Khan posted pictures and videos with Sidra Batool and her daughter when they visited her in Islamabad. Now we know that Sidra must be busy raising her cute little daughter who she says does not get along with people too quickly!
Zarnish Khan posted this adorable video of Sidra’s daughter in which the two are having a great time. Zarnish also wrote that she is really good with kids and this video proves her point!

It is always good watching celebrities enjoying such warm friendships. We are truly happy for Sidra and wish her all the best.
Mohsin Abbas Haider, Amna Illyas and Sadaf Kanwal all are immensely talented. They have proven their mettle in different fields of showbiz but this is the first time that all three of them were seen together on stage performing in front of a massive audience at the HUM Style Awards. The selection of the songs was superb and the energy with which these performers danced was faultless. This dance performance had some challenging steps but they pulled it off with ease.
It is evident from these videos that Mohsin Abbas Haider especially has many talents and he excels at all of them. Amna Illays’ dance moves are impressive. Sadaf Kanwal who has already mesmerized the audience with her dance moves on the big screen, shows that she can perform just as energetically in front of a live audience. This dance performance certainly is something to look forward to!
Hamza Ali Abbasi is known for having and sharing opinions which are always different from other celebrities and most often more meaningful too. This time Hamza Ali talked about the way most celebrities use social media and the way he thinks it should be used. In a talk show Hamza shared that most often celebrities focus more on themselves, what they are eating and what they are doing as opposed to focusing on things which truly matter.
He also said that God has put us in a position where people listen to us and follow us. He said that celebrities should use this power given to them responsibly to spread messages which are important. Hamza Ali Abbasi recently decided not to be a part of Jawani Phir Nahi Ani sequel because he wants to be part of only those projects which offer something bigger than just entertainment. Hamza has also spoken against item numbers in films repeatedly and very often uses his social media accounts for sharing his views on politics and social affairs.
Fawad Khan completely stole the show when he sang the song “Satrangi Re” at the grand finale of Pepsi Battle of The Bands. This was the title song of drama serial Satrangi which aired in 2008. Fawad Khan sang it originally too and he also acted in the play. The song is written and composed by Fawad himself which is why his fans were even more excited to hear him sing this song once again after so many years. This song proved to be nostalgic for so many of his fans who had been waiting for such a performance for a really long time. The fans were ecstatic to find out that Fawad Khan the singer and the musician was very much alive. This was one of the best songs sung by Fawad Khan but also one which did not get as much appreciation as it deserved. For this reason too people were very pleased that Fawad chose this play for the finale.
After this performance, his fans want to see him pursue music more than ever since they are convinced that Fawad has so much to offer so he should not restrict himself to acting and modeling only.

The Dimple Queen Hania Amir
So, if there is anyone who can pull of any kind of fashion style on any given then it has to be Hania Amir. The super beautiful young actress has achieved so much in a short span of time and her fashion sense is really amazing. She won the award of Most Stylish actor film female award and that green outfit by Nomi Ansari made her look absolute gorgeous.
Well, she was host for the night but still she carried out her style in the best possible manner. Her red carpet look was unique yet elegant.
Saba Qamar Zaman – She Was The Best One
Saba Qamar dress caught a lot of eye-balls and her dress was so fascinating. The woman in black was looking completely different from rest of the actresses and her dress made the difference. She wore the dress by Elan and her jewelry added an extra layer of style and glamour to her looks.
Ali Rehman Khan
If there was anyone who shocked the audience then it would be Ali Rehman Khan. Fans remember him for his long hairs and stylish beard but this time he was looking completely different and his fashion sense allowed him to show his good looks in a charming way.
The Power Couple – Farhan and Urwa
Whenever these two are together it is hard to take the eyes off. The same thing happened at the Hum Style Awards 2018 as well.

So, who wore it better at the Kashmir Hum Style Awards 2018? According to you who were the Most Good Looking Celebrities At Hum Style Awards 2018? Tell us in the comment section now.
Making more than 30 episodes has become quite a trend for some time now. If a drama is getting good TRPs and millions of views on Youtube, it can even cross 40 and still remain on-air. Ishq Tamasha has been a hit as far as ratings are concerned. So, it is going through a bit of repetition right now to touch the golden 30 mark.
Mirha is living in a hostel now and she keeps talking in a miserable tone to her very good roommate because that is her ultimate style after all. However, one thing that caused me a lot of relief was the leading lady finally choosing self-respect over love. She did not fall to her knees and accepted Wahaj’s love again, she held her ground and gave him a shut up call which he strongly deserved. She has finally reached some stability in life.
Wahaj was again a loser. His character is a loser to the extent of annoying the audience. He found Mirha and tried his best to reach her and after he succeeded what did he do? Kon Hai Jis Ki Khatir Mujhe Chorna Chahti Ho? He is either psychotic or is suffering from amnesia since he heard himself that Mirha was not wrong. But when he found her, he still questioned her decision in a very wrong light. When you keep defaming and slandering a woman, how the hell can you ask her why is she leaving you? And yeah he is going to Dubai just like that. In two hours! Wahaj is so popular he doesn’t even need a visa.
Aqeela is still headstrong and is ready to lose her only son. She still is not comprising in any situation and Rushna has finally succumbed to her deadly headache. And as expected Mehrab is not really interested in her as he is busy finding Mirha. Rushna has become extremely irrelevant and we only see her for some demos of headaches. Palwasha’s track is still boring with no further development.
This episode was more of a drag and filler rather than any progression!
Hum Style Awards is an evening full of dance, music, joy, celebration and amazing performances. When it comes to performances Feroze Khan is second to none. The Khaani star took to the stage and captivated the audience with his showmanship and charisma.
His rockstar look seemed pretty inspired by the legendary Michael Jackson himself with his typical silver jacket black pants and shimmering gloves. The performance was made more impact-full by adding props like flaring guitar and the overall stage modifications.
Why believe what you read when you can believe what you see so here it goes,
Urwa-Farhan couple always comes to each award show well prepared and takes the red carpet by storm. Their sizzling chemistry along with their even sizzling looks make the social media go gaga every time they make an appearance together.

Depression is a disease affecting every third person in our society. The reasons are many including the increased demands in every field of life as well as majorly the increasing insensitivity of people towards others’ feelings. The latest victim to this horrendous phenomenon was 26-year-old model Anam Naveed Tanoli. She was found dead in Lahore. Anam committed suicide after facing extensive bullying online as well as getting judged for her career choice:
Anam’s own message about bullying has surfaced online. She is seen talking about the psyche of people who do this awful act towards others. This is what Anam thought of bullies:
Mental illnesses are real. A very young soul succumbed to it. If anyone see someone getting bullied, then stand up for them and if you are the ones going through this trauma, be strong and seek help if you have to!
Anam Tanoli’s tragic demise has left everyone in shock. Some from the Fashion fraternity whether knew her personally or not took to social media and talked about mental health and cyber bullying. Upcoming model, Anam Naveed Tanoli’s body was found yesterday from DHA Lahore.
Her death nevertheless started a new debate. Many are talking about the importance of mental health and the stigmas surrounding it and some of the stars are using their star power for the cause.
Armeena Khan
Armeena Khan is known for being vocal about her political views and she isn’t quietly sitting around this time either. The Janaan starlet took to her twitter and said,
“A young, up and coming Pakistani in model died yesterday. On the face of it, it looks like suicide by hanging. I wonder what could possibly have driven a talented young girl like that to take her own life,”
Mawra Hocane took to her Instagram and expressed her grief and concern on Anam Tanoli’s tragic death,
“I didn’t know her personally but I’m devastated that a young beautiful girl succumbed to the bullies around her, I spoke to a close friend of hers who told me how deeply she was affected by social media trolling and bullying at work.”
She continued,
“She was suffering from depression and the world was ruthless regardless. I wish she was stronger but I also wish that we were kinder, all of us. Be on a watch, anyone around us could be suffering from depression and your words can take someone’s life,”
“I’m sorry Anam Tanoli on behalf of everyone who pushed you take such a step. My condolences and love to the family,”
“PS: We may be out here for you on social platforms but we are just like you. We get hurt, we break but we endure and put the broken pieces together to run another show for all of you. Be kind, it won’t cost you a thing. Please be kind, considerate and compassionate for others and their hearts,”
She concluded,
“It is about time we treat depression as an illness so we can comfort the ones suffering, at least. Seek medical help without reluctance. Please don’t be afraid of the society, protect yourself first,”
Momina Mustehsan
Momina Mustehsan has talked about her own experience with mental illness before, this time around she posted,
“This is a picture of me from when I was going through turmoil not very long ago. It happens to the best of us. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we all hit points in our lives sometimes when all seems to be falling out of our control.”
The fashion designer took to Facebook to share his thoughts on mental illness. He wrote,
“Amidst all the awards and celebration, the tragic suicide of Anam Tanoli has been totally sidelined and not been addressed by the fashion fraternity,”
Further adding he said,
“I never knew Anam or worked with her but the awful stories surrounding her suicide are a wake up call for all those of us who still have a conscience and some shred of humanity left,”
He continued,
“Stories of body shaming and downright vicious attacks on a young vulnerable girl are hugely disturbing and what is even more disturbing is a total lack of remorse, sadness or indignation on her passing,”
He concluded,
“I am ashamed Anam and sorry I was silent at the injustice you faced at the hands of the fraternity I am part of. Rest in peace Anam because I certainly cannot,”
Social media bullying in general and bullying in the fashion industry in particular can break the strongest. The only way we can fight mental illness is by taking it as seriously as physical illnesses. We do not know the fights each of us is fighting so try to be as kind as you can be and save lives.
