Naheed Akhtar Then And Now
Naheed Akhtar is the nightingale of Pakistan the name that needs no introduction. Her career began in 1970 when she sang a duet with Khalid Asghar in “Raag Malhar” at Radio Pakistan Multan. She has recorded songs in a range of styles, including Pakistani film music, pop, Ghazal, traditional Pakistani classical music, Punjabi folk songs, Qawwalis, Naat & Hamds & Others. She was active in the Pakistani film industry during 70s and 80s.
Naheed Akhtar made an appearance on stage in 2013, after repeated requests of the management of a TV show, where active and popular singers like Shabnam Majeed and Saima Jahan sang her songs to pay tribute to her. She stays busy with her family and children, and as of 2016, is not actively pursuing a singing career.
Her fans yearn t see her perform but she hasn’t been active for a long time and it doesn’t look like we will be seeing much of her or her talents in future either. Once in a while a picture surfaces on the internet and people are reminded of what we are missing out on. Here’s a picture of her with her daughter Kainat.
She was last seen publicly in February when A cheque worth Rs 10 million from the Punjab government was handed over to singer Naheed Akhtar for acknowledgment of her services in the field of singing. Spokesman for Punjab government Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, while representing Chief Minister Punjab, delivered the cheque to the Pride of Performance singer in a simple ceremony, held at Alhamra Arts Complex.
He paid tribute to the services rendered by Naheed Akhtar in the field of music and said that she had introduced a unique style in singing and inspired her fans with her magic voice.
He said,
“Let me acknowledge that glamour in Pakistani music was first introduced by Naheed Akhtar and songs once sang by her are still popular among music-lovers,”
Even after enduring waqt ke sitam Naheed Akhtar still manages to look gorgeous and we love it. We hope that someday we might see her at a coke studio type platform or a show or somewhere and be mesmerized by her voice the way we were the first time we heard her.

Sania Mirza has always been known for doing things which are out of the ordinary. Her style and opinions have always been different from others. Sania Mirza’s friends and family members threw a baby shower for her. Unlike other celebrity moms-to-be who preferred wearing something formal on their baby showers, Sania Mirza preferred wearing a onesie! This was a pajama party themed baby shower which made it one-of-a-kind.
Sania Mirza has been very open and direct about her weight gain during her pregnancy. That is another first since most often celebrities do not own the changes in their bodies in such an open- minded way. Recently, Shoaib and Sania also announced that that their kid will neither have Indian nor Pakistani nationality which was a really wise decision. Most people on both sides of the border were curious to find out what the nationality of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik’s kid will be so they figured out a solution which no one was expecting!

Baba Jani Episode 1 Story Review – Promising Start!
Baba Jani Episode 1 Story Review – First Impression
Baba Jani’s Episode 1 was simple and engaging. The first episode of Baba Jani introduced the viewers to all the central characters. The introduction to the characters was quite clear, the performances were up to the mark and the overall feel of this first episode was pleasant. The play has been written by Faiza Iftikhar, directed by Ali Faizan Anchan and produced by Faisal Qureshi & Abdul Qadir Shah under the banner of Connect Studios. Faysal Qureshi, Saba Hameed and Savera Nadeem were last seen together in Qaid-e-Tanhai which was an unforgettable classic therefore that is one of the many reasons why I am really looking forward to watching them all together again on screen. They are all brilliant actors who always deliver no matter what. Faiza Iftikhar’s scripts most often have some refreshing aspect and her stories are almost always unpredictable therefore I have huge expectations from this one. This was definitely the kind of episode which piques your curiosity and you want to tune in to the next episode more because of the characters than the story at this point.
Characters and Initial Story
This first episode showed how Asfand (Faysal Qureshi) had worked hard for so many years to provide for his sisters and now he was finally getting his last sister married. Asfand’s other two sisters Najiba (Saba Hamid) and Naila (Sundus Tariq) were shown as greedy and manipulative individuals who treated Asfand as an ATM card! They constantly put pressure on him even though they knew that he already had so much to worry about. Asfand was shown juggling a lot of things at once and when he finally thought he could relax now that all his sisters were married, Najeeba reminded him that he also had to get her daughter Alina (Areesha Razi) married since her husband was good-for-nothing! Najeeba constantly complained about how she was married to a man twice her age and clearly all her concern for Asfand was fake. Asfand is engaged to his cousin Mehwish (Faryal Mahmood) and he is in love with her as well. Najeeba sees Mehwish as a “threat” because she feels that if Asfand was to be happily married, he will not look after his sisters any more. Nimra (Madiha Imam) and her mother Sadia’s (Savera Nadeem) track was slightly confusing since we don’t know yet whether they are related to the family or they are neighbors. Sadia is a widow who has serious health issues but she does not have the resources to get herself treated. The relationship between them was heart-warming.
Performances and Situations
The situations shown in this episode were such that they gave a good insight into the characters. Every scene gave some information about these characters. Asfand’s back-story was revealed in a brief scene in front of the portrait while his daily struggles were shown through different scenes. Najeeba’s deprivations and manipulation both were conveyed convincingly through scenes with her sister, daughter and Asfand. Mehwish’s reaction when her mother walked out of the ceremony showed that she was quite capable of getting angry and showing it to Asfand if she did not like something. While her scenes with her mother showed that she had complete faith in Asfand too. Faysal Qureshi’s makeover in the show went well with his character. His performance was right on point, as always. Saba Hameed never disappoints, I am looking forward to finding out more about her character. Faryal Mahmood performed her role well too. Savera Nadeem and Madiha Imam did not get a lot of screen time, definitely waiting to see more of them in the upcoming episodes.
Interesting & Entertaining
This first episode of Baba Jani was interesting and entertaining. It was also visually pleasing. The direction and the editing both were spot on. The production values were impressive as well. Faiza Iftikhar’s characters are always convincing and layered therefore although this first episode gave the impression that the characters are somewhat black and white, I am sure that will not be the case!
Preview of The Next Episode
The preview of the next episode showed that Najeeba creates a scene when she goes to ask for Mehwish’s hand in marriage for her brother. Will this be the end of Asfand and Mehwish’s engagement? Will Asfand see things for what they are or will Najeeba manage to fool him? I am waiting to find out!

Afridi Deals With Reporter Asking About The ‘Naswar’ Fiasco In Lala Style
Shahid Afridi made headlines a couple of days ago but unlike him this time it was for wrong reasons. Boom Boom Afridi was caught on camera doing, what apparently looked like and was assumed to be, ‘naswaar’ during live ISPR Defense Day event.
Naturally the video went viral and the internet went berserk. In a recent interaction with the press Shahid Afridi was questioned about this viral video and what happened next is hilariously unbelievable. When the reporter asked what he’d like to say about the video that went viral Afridi found himself brainstorming thinking of what video the reporter was referring to. After a while he remembered the headlines probably and smirked a little.
After that he said he still has it on him and if any of the reporters want to try some he can give it to them. He further stated that if anyone wants the refreshing taste of ‘laung’ and ‘soonf’ they can come to him.
What happened after this is something we didn’t expect. Boom Boom actually took his favorite laung and soonf fix out of his pocket and made the reporter smell it. After which he asked him if he is sure it’s soonf and laung or does he need further proof. All the reporters present there had a good laugh at this after which Shahid Khan Afridi boarded his ride and left.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BndqVw3lBa0/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=sa4atnd3aty2
It’s only fair that this video goes as viral as the previous one Shahid Khan Afridi and his humour deserve that.
How’d you find the way Afridi dealt with this?
Shehnaz Sheikh’s Daughter In Law Is Gorgeous & Gorgeousity Made Flesh
Shehnaz Sheikh is one of those stars who need no introductions but unlike many of these stars Shehnaz Sheikh has only worked in two plays. Yes, we still find it shocking that someone of her talents and star power has only two projects to her credit yet those two were enough to immortalize her for the decades to come.
Shehnaz Sheikh’s performance in Tanhaiyyan was unforgettable as Zara and many named their children after her character. The other name that became quite popular in that era was Sana. Sana Murad from Ankahi was Sheikh’s debut performance and her (very loud) ‘girl next door’ acting earned her a place, not only in the hearts of the immediate audience, but the generations to come.
Actress turned teacher Shehnaz Sheikh is married to Seerat Hazir, who is also a Pakistani Television personality. They have two sons together. She resides in Lahore with her family and teaching and directing children’s plays, first at Aitchison College, Lahore and now at Lahore Grammar School, for over 18 years.
Talking about her work, she said that,
“I thrive in the environment I work in. With adults, I feel one always has to deliver. It’s always ‘what’s it going to be this time?’ You’re always on your guard with adults. With children, it’s more natural. They take you for what you really are. You don’t have to pretend.”
Shehnaz Sheikh didn’t just have brains and talent she also possessed breath taking beauty. A picture of her with her daughter in law has recently surfaced on the internet and it is obvious that Shehnaz alone isn’t the beautiful lady in the house. Her daughter in law is just as gorgeous as her mother in law we can say like mother in law like daughter in law.
Moreover this picture is more refreshing because such strong bonds between saas and bahus are a rare spectacle. They both look so comfortable with each other in the picture if we didn’t already know that Shehnaz has no daughter we might have mistaken her daughter in law for one and it would have been an honest mistake. Take a look and decide.
We absolutely love the vibrant colors and the over all positive vibe that this picture is exuding. More happiness to you and your family Mam.

Kubra Khan’s Sister Looks Like Her Twin!
Kubra Khan is one of the most liked actresses of the drama industry right now. Kubra Khan’s fan following has increased in a short span of time. After making her mark on television, she was this year seen in two of the biggest films. Kubra Khan talks about her family a lot in the interviews but there are very few pictures of her family members on her social media pages. This is the reason why for the longest time, many people thought that Kubra Khan was Fatima Khan’s sister. Kubra posted a picture with Fatima Khan on her instagram page and titled it “sister act” and that is where the misunderstanding started from. Kubra later made it clear in many interviews that Fatima Khan was like a sister to her and not actually her sister.
Recently Kubra Khan posted a beautiful picture with her sister on instagram. The title she gave this picture was really cute. Kubra Khan’s sister looks a lot like her. Many fans praised the picture and some also commented that they had a lot in common.

Zun Mureed Last Episode Story Review – Meaningful As Usual!
Script and Story Ending
Zun Mureed last episode – Na koi per ki jooti hei aur na koi zun mureed … Loved the beautiful ending of Zun Mureed’s Last Episode. Zun Mureed always had some of the most eloquent dialogues but this episode in particular had the most powerful dialogues and a few surprising conversations. The opening scene of this last episode of Zun Mureed was exceptional and Marium and Abid’s conversation was extremely poignant. Most of the tracks were handled superbly in this last episode and there were no loose ends. The ending was predictable but I honestly wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. The only reason for this was that the previous few episodes laid the foundations for this ending and all the scenes covering Sajjad and Tabbasum were convincing as well as touching! Yes! It was satisfying to see them back together and happy with each other. Certainly, there are no winners and losers when you think of marriage as teamwork! The only part which did not work for me was the way Tabbasum won Rubina over.
A Different Journey Altogether!
I must say that Zun Mureed was a different journey altogether. This was not the first time that we saw a drama on one of our television channels which dealt with the problems which women face in a male dominated society. This was however the first time that a writer attempted and succeeded in shedding light on the issue that making laws is not enough, ensuring that they get implemented swiftly and most importantly changing the mindset of the people is the biggest challenge. Tabbasum’s journey throughout showed that she had more critics than supporters. On the other hand, there were so many people who endorsed what Sajjad did.
Important Message For Men
There was an important message for the men in this drama too and perhaps one which was not that easy to accept which is why this drama was criticized a lot too! One of the most important messages in this drama was that women too should be respected and that women can also get hurt or offended just as easily as men do! Relationships come first and ego comes second, if people start sacrificing their relationships to satisfy their egos than the fate which awaits their children was clearly shown in this drama. For all those receptive viewers out there, this drama had a great deal to offer. This was the kind of drama which raised quite a few important questions but at the same answered some too! I truly appreciate the way it was shown how the children get affected in such a situation. Children need their parents to work together in order to run the house and make them feel secured.
Performances and Characters
Nadia Khan’s weak performance was the biggest flaw in the play but all the other actors played their respective roles superbly. Although, Nadia Khan’s performance left a lot to be desired, Tabbasum’s character was so brilliantly etched-out that I never had trouble connecting to her character. Omair Rana was impressive as Sajjad, his performance was effortless and faultless all through the show. Sajjad’s character was layered therefore brining out his sensitivities, insecurities and underlying issues was an important task which Omair Rana fulfilled wonderfully. Hina Bayat and Khalid Anum were also convincing in their respective roles. Abid’s character too was the highlight of the show. Shamim Hilali did complete justice to her character and managed to convey every emotion brilliantly. The child stars too acted convincingly. Fari’s character was a breath of fresh air and a source of inspiration. The actress playing the role performed well but the caked-up make-up was always distracting. Aisha’s Gul did exactly what was expected from her but her character got more screen time than was necessary. Kashif Mehmood also performed well but I am looking forward to watching him in a more meaty role since he has been playing somewhat similar roles.
The Verdict!
Zun Mureed was anything but run-of-the-mill, even with its relatively slow pace, Zun Mureed had more to offer than many of the fast-paced shows we have seen lately. It was groundbreaking in its own way and definitely impactful. It was a pleasure watching, reviewing and discussing this show with the readers here as well as the friends and family members in person! I would like to thank team Zun Mureed for giving us a drama which was unique in so many ways.
Thank you for reading the reviews and for your valuable feedback.

Haara Dil Episode 22 Story Review — Climaxing
So episode 22 aired today and it focused more on Areej and Zawar’s relationship and followed the trajectory that was precalculated in last review. Zawar is using his relationship with Areej to manipulate Arham into divorcing Momina and marrying Fizza instead. Other than that Areej and Zawar never really had a strong enough relationship that was worth fighting for and above such petty tactics. Even though it was implied from the beginning that Areej married Zawar out of love but as the story has disclosed it wasn’t the actual case. It was more of an arranged marriage and at the time both didn’t have any serious objections against it but as the time passed they grew more and more distant. Even though Zawar failed to fall in love Areej did.
Arham finds himself responsible for ruining his sister’s marriage but Areej reassures him that there never really was anything to save in her marriage to begin with. Areej has been portrayed as a very strong headed character since the very beginning to see her breakdown like this was surely saddening for both the audience and Arham. To save his sister’s marriage Arham pays Zawar a visit and tries to talk him out of divorce. But Zawar comes up with the counter offer that he will not divorce Areej if Arham marries Fizza. Arham naturally finds that nonnegotiable and walks away. Amtul is devastated to see her daughter suffer like this and blames Momina as always.
Fehmi is turning out to be an amazing character, her character development so far has been the best amongst all. When Qasid calls her to do something about the situation he is in and help him out she slams him really hard and threatens him that she will testify against him in court because that is what he deserves. Fehmi has also started playing the motherly role she was originally meant to play. She takes care of Sami and is very protective of both Abeer and Momina now.
Abeer is getting married to Faraz and it is interesting because this play started with a wedding it is only fair it ends with one too. Faraz suggests the idea that Momina should live with Arham now and focus on her married life rather than focusing on Sami. This might cause some problems in upcoming episodes.
Arham and Momina are finally coming to terms with their relationship. They still argue quiet a lot but then again when there’s love there’s constant nagging each other too. Momina being the noblest of noble beings that she is once again suggests the idea of divorce and finally Arham responds the way I would have “bakwas mat karo”. At this point it is humongously annoying to see Momina be the bigger person all the time.
At last Fizza has found some of the integrity she had lost along the way and left Arham’s house to finally live with her brother.
Overall this episode was well paced well timed and character wise very well developed. It is almost the end and we can already see how that will happen and so far the conclusion doesn’t seem rushed.
How’d you like this episode of Haara Dil?

Shahid Afridi Doing Naswar in a Live ISPR Function – Video!
Shahid Afridi Doing Naswar in a live ISPR function is something no one would have imagined. Shahid Afridi has hardly ever been in the news for the wrong reasons. He always makes sure that he has a clean slate. Tonight while the live coverage of the ISPR’s function was airing on television, Shahid Afridi was seen putting Naswar in his mouth! Nothing goes unnoticed nowadays so this too was captured on camera! It is surely not a pretty sight, which makes us wonder why Shahid Afridi would do something like this knowing so well that the transmission was being telecast live!
See the video of Shahid afridi doing naswar here
