Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a hit ARY Digital drama serial written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, directed by Nadeem Baig, and produced by Humayun Saeed. Each episode of the drama is getting around 5 million YouTube views and is reportedly securing an impressive TRP of 14 for the channel. The drama also became a talking point not just for its impressive trps but also for the high-profile criticism it received from senior Pakistani actresses.
Despite the criticism, fans are invested in Main Manto Nahi Hoon’s ending and many are now anxiously making predictions as the drama is going toward an upcoming stressful ending.
So far, 30 episodes have been aired and episode 31 will mark the conclusion of Main Manto Nahi Hoon, which will air tomorrow.
Viewers of Main Manto Nahi Hoon are deeply invested in how the drama will end, and social media is abuzz with predictions and divided opinions. The audience has formed teams — some believe Mehmal will die, while others strongly feel that Mehmal and Manto should end up together. Many fans continue to root for Farhad and Mehmal’s pairing, but a few argue that since Farhad is a murderer, he doesn’t deserve a happy ending. Many viewers predict that Mikaal Hazrat’s character might either kill Farhad or end up marrying Mehmal due to unforeseen circumstances. One fan wrote, “I want Manto and Mehmal to be married,” while another predicted Mehmal’s death, saying, “Mehmal will die.” Another viewer wished, “Now I want Mehmal to kill Farhad and then herself by taking poison, and also kill Madiha… end the story completely, and let Sir Manto die of a heart attack… and let Miss Maria marry Hazrat.” One user requested, “Please, at least this time let Manto be with Mehmal. Khalil didn’t let Danish be with Mehwish before; if it doesn’t happen again, I won’t watch Khalil’s dramas anymore.” Another predicted, “I think Mehmal will marry Hazrat, and that means Miss Maria will marry Manto. My dream of seeing Mehmal and Manto’s wedding is shattered.” Besides this, fans are saying it’s too early to end Main Manto Nahi Hoon because they wanted Surriya’s story to be unveiled and a proper conclusion to Ifrah’s case.

Talking about it, Danish Taimoor said, “When I received Sher’s script, I was on the set of Jaan Nisar. I was already growing my hair and beard, so luckily, the asylum scenes you saw were shot first. After completing those scenes, I took a break and then filmed the ‘before and after’ portions. I got a haircut and trimmed my beard. It took me about a year to complete the project. I give full credit to the entire team — Ahsun Talish is a superb director, there is a finesse in his work, and Zanjabeel is a great writer. I love her writing; she’s a maestro. I’m currently working on another drama serial Meherban, written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and also reading another script of Zanjabeel.” Here is the link to the video:
Mishi Khan is a well-known Pakistani actress, host, and social activist who is known for her versatile performances in hit dramas such as Ajaib Khana, Tipu Sultan, Saat Pardon Main, Khala Khairan, Landa Bazaar , and Uroosa. Uroosa was her overnight hit drama series which bagged her timeless fame. Apart from acting, Mishi Khan has been hosting the longest-running morning shows on K2 TV. Mishi Khan is also a woke celebrity who raises voice on all national, international and social issues.
Recently, Mishi Khan shared a video on her Instagram where she opened up about vulgarity being spread by social media and media industry.
Talking about it, Mishi Khan said, “I am shocked to see women on social media spreading vulgar content, especially some village vloggers who post obscene videos focusing on their body parts while doing household chores. Besides this, platforms like Facebook and Instagram are becoming hubs for inappropriate and indecent content, yet no one in society seems to be raising their voice against it. I don’t understand why parents are not guiding or stopping their children. Modern times do not mean becoming vulgar. Even our dramas today are promoting indecent scenes. It is the performers’ responsibility to refuse such content because families watch these shows. Unfortunately, dramas are becoming more explicit, often showing bedroom scenes with couples under blankets, which is unnecessary and inappropriate. In the past, we had super-hit shows that were entertaining yet decent. We should strongly condemn vulgarity instead of normalizing it.”
Social media users are appreciating Mishi Khan for once again raising her voice, while a few are saying that it seems the end of times is near, as vulgarity is now being cherished and celebrated. Read the comments here:

Talking about daily vlogging, Amna Malik said, “Daily Vlogging is a very difficult task, once I tried doing it I made a channel with my name but the next day I closed it. I couldn’t make it and it was way tough job for me and I didn’t get any response. They used to say add daily bits on your vlogs, now how can I add daily bits in my vlogs, and sometimes I am in a messy bun doing house chores, how can I be on my toes for daily vlogging, I can’t show that much life, hats off to those who have been doing it and showing their homes”

Farooq Rind is a prominent Pakistani television director who is known for his amazing direction which makes dramas hit. He has directed iconic TV shows like Ishq Murshid, Pyar Ke Sadqay, Ishq Zahe Naseeb, Baaghi, Besharam and Sanjha. He recently directed Humraaz, which got criticism on its poor script writing, however, fans loved his direction. Nowadays, Farooq Rind is directing Green Entertainment’s upcoming drama serial with Ahad Raza Mir and Maya Ali.
Today, Farooq Rind appeared in Nadia Khan’s morning show Rise and Shine where he talked about the reason behind hit scripts. He also opened up about Ishq Murshid’s success.
Farooq Rind said, “My actors or the artists working in my dramas, give me energy and they take energy from me as well as it should be reciprocal, that’s how we can create masterpieces. I often ask my actors to do scenes differently, they take a pause and think before redoing it but mostly end up following my command which somehow give me happiness that my artists trust me.”
He further added that the dramas he did by force got more public attention and became hit than the dramas he did with proper planning and interest:
Talking about Ishq Murshid’s phenomenal success, he said, “I think the producer, Momal Bhabhi deserves praise for its success. Besides this, Bilal Abbas is the biggest reason behind the success of Ishq Murshid because he worked with me in Pyar Ke Sadqay, so, he knew me very well. For example: if I’m not satisfied with a scene which has been shot, I would ask him to do it again and he instantly says yes to it, if he will not accept my suggestion or refuse, I won’t give any suggestions next time which will eventually affect our work. Moreover, if producer will stop you from doing things, you will be bound but if they will give you a free hand, the outcome would be like Ishq Murshid. The whole team including Durefishan, Bilal, Salma Hassan, Noor Ul Hassan, the actor played iconic ‘Bhalley’ worked really hard” Here is the link to the video:

Case No. 9 is a drama that has brought Shahzeb Khanzada as a writer. Directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, it shows how a rape victim is dealt by law in Pakistan. How they are belittled by society and what they have to go through everyday of their lives.

He has been standing with Kamran in Case No. 9 despite his wife Manisha being upright. Fans have now found out the reason behind his fierce loyalty. So, Kamran and Kiran stood up for Rohit, who is a Hindu when he was falsely accused of blasphemy in college. Such false cases are rampant in Pakistan and they are often used as a weapon. Kamran fiercely defended him and therefore he is till alive today.
THis is the reason for Rohit’s loyalty in Case No. 9:
The internet has been shocked by this backstory. One fan wrote, “Rohit needs to realize that Kamran defended him because he was right while Kamran is wrong.” Another added, “Hats off to Shahzeb Khanzada for highlighting such fake blasphemy cases.” One said, “Now I can understand where Rohit is coming from.” This was the reaction:

Hania is currently an O-Level student and aspires to become an engineer.
Recently, Hania Ahmed appeared in an interview with Fuchsia Magazine, where she shared interesting insights about Jamaa Taqseem and opened up about the joint family system and her relationship with her parents.
Talking about the inspiration behind her role in Jamaa Taqseem, she said, “For Jamaa Taqseem, my mother suggested that I should watch Saba Qamar’s iconic character in Maat. I watched it in a day and observed her expressions. I took references from there, reached the set but it’s always different way of working on the sets so I tried to follow my director’s vision and instructions. I also took inspiration from Madiha Rizvi, who is playing my mother.”
Speaking about the joint family system, Hania Ahmed shared, “We live in a joint family. I live with my grandmother, while the rest of the family members live separately — for example, my uncle (Taya) has his own place. I’m comfortable with both joint and separate family systems; I can easily adjust to either. In a joint family, we have so many activities and enjoy gossiping with the members, so both setups are fine for me. My family has no strict restrictions — we’re very friendly. My grandmother is really chill, and even my maternal grandparents are very friendly.”
Discussing the communication gap between parents and children, Hania said, “I think there is a huge communication gap between parents and children, but I don’t have that gap with my parents. Generally, parents are quite strict with their kids. They want things done according to their own demands and often don’t give enough space to their children, becoming hyper or angry instead. Parents should try to understand their children and spend time with them so that they can express themselves freely. They should be friendly and supportive.”
She further added, “Mothers should give space to their children and also understand their perspective like parents often ask children to share their personal things with them, but when they do, parents start shouting.” Here is the link to the video

Kanwal shared, “Saif Ali Khan and I first met at the airport. We connected instantly because we were both heading to Tamasha. We checked in together, took the same lift, and were later assigned rooms close to each other. That’s where our introduction happened. I asked his name, and he said, ‘I’m Saif Ali Khan.’ I replied, ‘I’m Kanwal,’ and when he asked for my full name, I said, ‘Just Kanwal.’ We connected over positivity, staying focused on our goals, not interfering in others’ matters, and avoiding backbiting.”
Replying to shipping rumors, she added, “If people ship us after watching us on screen, I don’t mind. It’s fine. People see girls and boys on TV and form perceptions about them, it’s their way of perceiving but we were simply living as contestants and as friends. Two people of opposite genders can definitely be friends.”
Talking about their fight, Kanwal said, “We had an argument after which I received a lot of hate. I even apologized to my fans, but it wasn’t just one person’s fault — both of us were responsible. I think the full situation wasn’t shown on camera.”
She further explained, “I believe my fight with Saif was my downfall, but it was part of the game. Although we weren’t playing strategically, everything was natural. Fights happen between friends, siblings, or even couples. I think it was more of an ego clash between two friends. I reacted out of ego, wondering why he said certain things to me. Some things do hurt, but after that fight, we actually became even stronger friends.”

Pakistan Idol is a Pakistani musical reality show which has recently started airing on Geo TV, PTV, and Green Entertainment. This marks the second season of Pakistan Idol, which has already stirred controversy due to its judges’ panel. Fawad Khan, one of the judges, is facing criticism for evaluating talented singers despite being considered to have relatively weak vocals himself. Moreover, several renowned artists, including Sajjad Ali, Humaira Arshad, and Malku, have voiced their disapproval, calling the show substandard and low-budget, and suggesting that it needs improvement in both its judging panel and song selection. On the other hand, a few artists such as Sahir Ali Bagga and Falak Shabir have come forward to support the show.
Recently, Falak Shabir’s stance on Pakistan Idol won hearts as he gave contestants permission to perform all of his songs.
Taking to Instagram, Falak Shabir wrote, “I am giving Pakistan Idol full permission to use all my songs to support aspiring talent and help them showcase our country’s talent on a global scale. I fully support the judges of Pakistan Idol and all the talented participants.”

The 10th Hum Awards 2025 recently took place in Houston, Texas, USA on 12th October 2035. The event was attended by most of the popular Pakistani celebrities who were either nominated for their performances in hit Hum TV dramas or had to perform at the show and film projects. The stars, including Mehwish Hayat, Humayun Saeed, Ramsha Khan, Shuja Asad, Ali Zafar, Ali Haider, Ahmed Jahanzeb, and Asim Azhar, gathered at Houston and performed at the awards.
Recently, in Nadia Khan’s show Rise and Shine, Hum Awards’ mismanagement and controversies were exposed by the overseas Pakistani who attended the award function in Houston.
Talking about Hum Awards, Nazia Khan said, “Every good artist can’t be a good anchor. Dananeer Mobeen and Hamza Sohail were hosting the show but they made so many mistakes. They should have been given a short segment instead. You guys kept mispronouncing the names of popular actors — the mistakes were so frequent that some actors had to rudely correct them on stage. One artist’s name wasn’t even announced; Humayun Saeed was told backstage to go on stage, but Dananeer didn’t take his name — he came out himself and mentioned it on stage. You need to be spontaneous on stage, but they were visibly conscious and awkward. The audience had the same feedback.”
Talking about outfits, she said, “The outfits were tacky and terribly styled — the audience members were dressed better than the hosts! They wore western clothes when they could have gone for a classy fusion look. Mehwish Hayat wore a simple shalwar kameez that looked like a walima outfit, Hania Aamir’s outfit didn’t fit well, and Dananeer looked like Cinderella.
She further added, “The previous award shows were much better; HUM Awards have become overly commercialized — they seem to think overseas Pakistanis are fools. Tickets cost around 700 to 800 dollars. The crowd turnout was great, but many said they wouldn’t attend again. By the end, most of the audience had left the venue. The performances were just okay — Ali Zafar did well, but the rest were disappointing. Overall, it was a 6 out of 10 show; we had higher expectations, but it didn’t live up to them. ”
Shehzadi is a viral TikTok sensation on social media who got popularity through her signature style of replying to mean comments in a sweet and friendly tone. Most of her followers used to make sarcastic remarks on her looks, which she took positively and turned them into content by making videos about them. The comments were usually about her looks, with people comparing her appearance to that of beautiful Pakistani and Bollywood stars like Mahira Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Rani Mukerji. Fans loved Shehzadi’s videos, which went insanely viral. In September, Shehzadi was invited by Nida Yasir in Good Morning Pakistan.
Recently, Shehzadi gave an interview to host and actor Uzma Tahir where she revealed that she didn’t get any pay cheque from TV channels.
Talking about it, Shehzadi said, “I went to Usama Nasir’s podcast. I didn’t get any money from him, but he supported me a lot, which helped me go viral. Then I went to Good Morning Pakistan, but I didn’t get any money there either. I also appeared on Mathira’s show but didn’t receive any payment.”
Uzma Tahir said that ARY Digital should have paid her because celebrities usually receive a cheque when they appear on ARY. She added that Mathira should also have given her a cheque since she has been working so hard, especially considering the current inflation.” Here is the link to the video:
Uzma Tahir further revealed that she has personally given her a small cheque to Shehzadi according to her capacity. Here is the link to the video:
Mawra Hocane shines as Laila in Jama Taqseem. The drama shows the bitter realities of the joint family system and everyone has a story which the characters are living on-screen. Every character in the drama is close to reality and everyone can see themselves in some character. Mawra spoke about the show in her latest interview with Mahwash Ajaz and she had a lot to reveal.
Mawra Hocane shared that she has also learnt from Laila. She said that she learnt how you can disagree with people and draw boundaries while at the same time remain respectful. She learnt how one cannot become extremely emotional and put forth their point while being understanding. She added that as Mawra she might have overreacted when Laila was asked to change her outfit but Laila took it in stride easily.
This is what she said:
Mawra Hocane shared that her own real life helped her channel her character in Jama Taqseem. She started the shoot ten days after her marriage. She was able to channel her experience as a newly wed wife and daughter-in-law. Yes, her experiences are not the same but she understood Laila’s feelings.
Here is what she said:
She revealed how a girl came up to her and she looked so emotional. She was a single child who was engaged to a guy whose family was like Qais’s. Her mother asked her to watch Jama Taqseem to understand what she was getting into. Watching it helped her make a decision and she called off that engagement.

This did not sit well with people from Karachi and they have been criticizing her and many even demanded an apology from the stars’s side. Many were of the view that why would you badmouth a city where you work.
This was Saba Qamar’s statement:
Saba Qamar has now replied to the criticism she has been getting. She took to Instagram and said that she is busy with work and she sees that people think it is breaking news that she has feelings and opinions. Here is how she has responded:

Malkoo is a beloved Punjabi singer of Pakistan. From singing folk songs to political bangers, he is always on a roll and he is loved for his voice and style of performance. The singer has always praised his colleagues and he never really badmouths anyone. He has performed all over Pakistan and abroad as well. He was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and made some shocking revelations.

Malkoo said that Jawad Ahmad needs to straighten his path. He added that he hates when he sees people hating on Jawad’s family and mother. Malkoo then shared that Jawad does “shirk”. Jawad Ahmad thinks that a star becomes a star because he is a whole package. Allah has nothing to do with it. Malkoo does not agree with this philosophy. Malkoo said that Jawad said this package philosophy to him and the next day, Malkoo was a star while Jawad was nowhere to be seen.
Pamaal is a drama airing on Green TV. The show has brought Usman Mukhtar and Saba Qamar together for the first time. Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees, the drama is showcasing how women are trapped in marriages with Narcissistic husbands. These relationships look normal on the outside but they are completely different from the women stuck in them.
Malika and Raza seem to have an ideal marriage in Pamaal. Raza buys everything for her, cares for her and loves her. But he treats her like a possession and not a partner. He bought a flat for her but she was not allowed to make any choice from flat to furniture. Moreover, the way he reacts when he finds out how she went for grocery shopping without telling him has started a debate.
This is what happened in Pamaal:
Fans are divided and a long debate has started. One side thinks that all men are like this and women should compromise. While the other side sees how Malika is trapped in this marriage and she is being suffocated and controlled. One wrote, “All women should ask their husbands before doing everything as he is the Sarbarah.” Another added, “She cannot even breathe without his permission. This is not love.” One said, “Sad to see how women are defending someone like Raza. They need therapy.” This is the debate:

Many talented singers are performing on the show. Fawad Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Zeb Bangash and Bilal Maqsood are in the judges panel and they are giving good critique to the performances.
Fawad Khan has been criticized by people in his fraternity for judging the show. Humaira Arshad was very vocal when she said how can an actor be put on the judging panel of a singing show. She added that Pakistan always does this but can such artists sing themselves.
Faakhir was a guest on FHM podcast and shared his thoughts on Fawad Khan judging Pakistan Idol. He said Fawad Khan was a singer first. He was into music and he later even sang a song for PSL. Faakhir said that Fawad became an actor with Khuda Ke Liye, otherwise he was a musician and he is doing well as he is appearing as a judge on Pakistan Idol. He added that the show has picked the best singers for the panel and Idol means the whole package, it is not just about singing.
