It’s easy, isn’t it? The smile is familiar, no? And the eyes, too. Yes, you guessed it right! It’s Resham.
Celebs’ childhood pictures are always are a treat to their fans, and the same goes for Resham. Her childhood pictures are on social media, and we think she was beautiful even then. All dolled up as a perfect girl of her times, tying a hair band as women used to, with a perfect haircut, depicting her fashion sense for the 90s era.
Born in 1980, Resham is a Pakistani film and TV actress and model. She made her acting debut with film Jeeva in 1995. She continued to work in Pakistani films until the decline of Pakistani film industry in the 2000s. She, then, made her comeback with Swarangi in 2014. Currently, she is acting in a supernatural drama series, Naagin.
Today, Resham has come a long way. Despite her age, she still looks young and beautiful as she was.
Call it her maintenance or fashion sense, she still looks like a young fashion diva, who has more sense than many other young talents in the industry. A western look or a traditional one, she knows how to slay it and she is perfect at it.

But who knew they also have other three brothers, and two of them are also twins.
Aiman and Minal, along with the family, celebrated their twin brothers’ 2018 birthday on September 22. The pictures speak a thousand emotions of a family moment, which are rare to find these days. The sisters took the celebration over to their Instagram account, and their pictures are totally adorable and true depiction of the sweet brother-sister relationship.
Other pictures also give us some sweet vibes from their relationship. We can say they are a happy family, MashaAllah.
Noor Bukhari is a former film star. She left all the showbiz activities some time back and devoted herself to learn more about religion. However, her life may be, Noor always makes sure to get her daughter everything. Little Fatima is six years old now and mommy Noor made sure to give her the best birthday party.

A British study says that careers and hobbies are sometimes inherited the same way just as eye colors or surnames. We see a great deal of people who want to follow the footsteps of their parents whether it’s life choices or career decisions.
In showbiz industry we have surplus examples of how daughters and sons have carried on their family legacies in acting and proved that acting in fact runs through their blood and is in their genes.

They say when you fall for someone than age becomes just a number. When it comes to a relationship mutual understanding and compatibility to the partner is of far more importance than the age difference between them. The compassion the couple has for each other decides the fate of the relationship instead of how much older one is than the other.
These couples have proven this fact to a great deal. These celebrities have not only excelled as single people but they have become a support system for their better halves as well by helping them become better in their fields.

Pakistani people are always curious to know about the personal relationships of famous personalities. Social media is always bombarded with thousands of pictures if someone gets married or shares a family moment.
Azhar Mahmood Sagar is a former Pakistani cricketer, who played Pakistani test matches and ODI. He played his test debut on October 6th, 1997 and ODI debut on September 16th, 1996. In 2011, Azhar became a British citizen and a qualified English cricketer to play for the county. He got married to Ebba Mahmood in 2003, and they have two beautiful daughters.

The multitalented actress made her acting debut with Ahsan Khan in one of the telefilms Chashme Num. She is also famous for her role as a protagonist in drama serial Ghughi.
The actress recently shared her birthday pictures, and we must say she looked gorgeous.
Pakistani industry is growing, and we believe that if such multi-talented people continue to serve the industry with their exceptional skills, it would reach new heights.
‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’ means that one should adopt the culture of the country he or she goes to. That’s pretty much right because some cultures are very sensitive about their traditions and may get offended upon the violence of certain implied rules, but one of the famous actresses from India knows the ‘rule.’
One of the most popular faces of India, Jacqueline Fernandez, visited Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, and her pictures revealed how she knew about the implied rules of visiting a mosque, the purest of places.
The pictures spread like a wildfire on social media in which she can be seen covering her body and hair in a hijab and walks through the mosque fully covered, respecting the modesty the place demands.
While staying in Abu Dhabi for the shooting of Race sequel, she paid a visit and took it to her Instagram to share her pictures in the Grand Mosque.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKsXmkqc5M
The Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE, and it is the most-visited and beautiful mosque in the city. It is famous for its beautiful seven imported chandeliers from the company Faustig in Munich, Germany that incorporates millions of Swarovski crystals.
Besides her superb acting skills, Ayeza is also popular for her beautiful and attractive features. Her beautiful bridal shoots always give Pakistani girls inspirations for traditional wedding looks with a modernistic touch. Dolled up in beautiful traditional outfits, adorned with beautiful jewelry and carrying a soft makeup glow, here are some of the best bridal looks of Ayeza Khan.
Ayeza’s looks are a motivation to every Eastern bride-to-be: Carrying a minimal and simple makeup always enhances natural beauty of your features, and that simple has always been beautiful.

Baba Jani Episode 4 Story Review – After watching this episode in particular, I would highly recommend this drama to all those viewers who are sick and tired of watching dramas which involve falling in love at first sight, women fighting over the male lead who might not fall into the “good looking” category but is rich enough to be extremely charming and attractive (character of course takes a back seat if the leading man is rich) and most importantly men whose character flaws are glorified like they are the most “charming” aspect of their personality! Baba Jani – Asfand – is truly a breath of fresh air!
Refreshing and Unpredictable
Tonight’s episode of Baba Jani was unexpectedly fast-paced and some of the developments in particular completely won me over. Asfand finding out that his sisters tricked him into leaving Mehwish was a pleasant surprise. This, once again showed that Asfand was not foolish but just someone who took his duties and responsibilities towards his family much more seriously than anything he expected from them. This development lead to Asfand leaving Mehwish with a goodbye message which was both meaningful and refreshing (yes I will be using this word a lot tonight!). The maturity, honesty and wisdom in Asfand’s personality is one which we get to see in older supporting characters every now and then in dramas but we have never seen another hero in our dramas who had this much grace. Although Asfand is a “nice guy” but his character is compelling at the same time. His actions are constantly driving the plot even though he is not fierce but he is definitely strong in his own way. Faysal Qureshi’s overall look, his body language and his performance has breathed tangible life into a character which is just plain beautiful!
A New Interpretation Of Love At First Sight!
We have seen heroes falling in love with their leading ladies the second they look at them but tonight what we saw was a rare case of love at first sight! Asfand has raised his younger sisters and is like a father figure to them therefore when he saw Nimra, his feelings for her were completely different. He wanted to shelter her and he thought the best way was to give her respect by walking out of there. His gesture before leaving was touching and one which was poignant and brand new. The way Asfand’s reaction was covered in this scene was brilliant. Apart from this, the expressions of everyone involved and the confusion couldn’t have been translated more convincingly on screen.
Characters and Situations
All the situations shown tonight, gave some insight into the characters. Asfand was hurt and disappointed to find out what his sisters had done but he was extremely forgiving. Nasir and Rakhshanda’s characters are clearly going to be two of those very few people in Asfand’s life who will be standing by him without any ulterior motives. Najeeba and Naila know Asfand’s weaknesses and they constantly tried to make him feel bad for marrying them off to men who were not their perfect match. They were shown coming to Asfand’s house to take a “break” and had a problem doing anything at all for their brother. Asfand’s decision to go ahead and look into the proposal Rakhshanda suggested himself was a direct result of loneliness more than anything else, something which was also shown convincingly. The fact that Asfand went to see Mehwish’s mother showed that he had moved on. This conversation too was refreshing!
Concluding Remarks
This episode of Baba Jani was the best one so far. With the exception of a confusing timeline, everything else was on point. The camerawork, locations, makeovers and the overall feel of this play continues to be extremely impressive. With the exception of Savera Nadeem everyone else looked perfect for their respective roles. The styling especially is pleasing, a much needed break from gel backed hair which are most often distracting. Asfand’s character and the way it has been translated on-screen is the best thing about this drama. All the performances have been spot on throughout which is definitely an added bonus. The production values of this drama gives it the edge it needs. The director has also done his job really well. I would especially like to thank Faysal Qureshi for not banking on done-to-death scenarios and trying out something new, since this is his first production.
Iqra Aziz has been making waves with her talent and beauty for quite some time now. She rose to extreme fame with her Ramadan special Suno Chanda. The actress knows how to make a bad character look good which she did with Naima in Khamoshi and also did a great job with the happy go lucky Jiya in Suno Chanda.
The young actress also has groomed herself extremely in the fashion department. She looks ethereal, be it a photo shoot or ramp walk. She is enjoying some time off work right now as she is vacationing in Turkey. With scenic beauty in the background and Iqra Aziz in the front, her vacation pictures are extremely beautiful. Here have a look at the pictures:
Iqra making the short hair take a swing
She knows Dabbing can be fun
Clad in a sweatshirt and yoga pants and wearing boots, Iqra Aziz is taking Turkey by storm with her beauty. With Suno Chanda 2 on the cards and giving back to back hits on screen with Qurban, Khamoshi and Suno Chanda, Iqra sure deserved some time off from her busy schedule and she sure is enjoying her time. Which picture is your favourite? Share in comments!
Hina Altaf and Sumbul Iqbal both were enjoying vacations in Baku. The girls went to different places and had a great time. Hina always finds fun in every little detail of life. While heading back for Pakistan, both actresses Hina and Sumbul took the opportunity to click some more selfies.
Hina was in a playful mood as she said that Pakistanis never leave a chance to click some good selfies while actress Sumbul Iqbal agreed with her. Here watch the video:
Hina recently gave an interview to Samina Peerzada where she opened about her family life and her mother’s disease. She told people how she fell into depression and came out at the top of all the adversities. Hina has since improved herself emotionally, professionally as well as physically. She is now having the time of her life as she has bought her own house, getting a lot of great career opportunities. Watching the young lady having a good time and always being strong in every phase of life is indeed an inspiration for many women out there!
Turkey is a very famous vacation destination for Pakistanis. Our celebrities also are seen vacationing there very often. The trick ice cream has been going viral for quite some time now. The ice cream vendors trick the customers into thinking that they are holding the ice cream when they are actually not. It’s a very creative illusion and people often enjoy having ice cream from there. Mahira Khan visited the stall and she was superbly surprised. The twin sisters Aiman and Minal Khan also had a lot of fun when they visited the ice cream stall.
Hina Altaf is a fun and chirpy girl. She is known to love by her own rules. The actress is in Baku for a vacation and she also managed to get hold of the mystery ice cream there. Hina held the ice cream and the vendor magically took it away. Hina, however knows how to get what she wants. She in turn surprised the vendor as she took ice cream from his hand. Here watch the video:
Muharram ul Haram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. This month comes with the remembrance of the day of Karbala. All the Muslims remember the grandson of our Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW and the Ahle Bait for their valour and teach our generations how Hussain RA did not bow before the wrong.
Like all the Muslims, Pakistani stars also observe the Ashura. Many celebrities who are Shia Muslims hold Majalis and participate in remembering Hussain RA and the children of Hazrat Muhammad SAW’s household. Meera Jee also held Majalis this Muharram as she observed Ashura with love and allegiance. Likewise the Maliks and Natasha Khan were also observing Ashura with aqeedah. These all celebrities are Shia Muslims:
Ashura just passed and the day teaches us how standing with the right has always been a difficult job and how Imam e Hussain sacrificed his life and his children but did not let the evil win. We as Muslims should always pledge to live by the principles of Hussainiat and show our love for the Ahle Bait by following their examples!
Atiqa Odho is the perfect epitome of women empowerment. Not only she has survived people’s judgmental comments but also started her entrepreneurial journey—her own cosmetic brand and her production company.
She was born in 1960, started her career her as makeover artist and hair stylist. While working, she was recognized by Anwar Maqsood. She had her acting debut in Anwar Maqsood’s play, Sitara Aur Mehrunissa in 1993. In 1995, she made her film debut in Jo Darr Gya Woh Marr Gya.
However, the quote, “All that glitter is not gold” has the perfect fit here. Having a perfect life on the front doesn’t mean personal life is all good and sound. She had a rough past; she got married at the early age of 15. She tied knots with Javed Khund. The marriage contract lasted 10 years and she has two children from her 1st marriage, a son and a daughter,
She tied the knots second time with an American businessman while in her 20s. They soon parted their ways and the marriage ended with a divorce.
The third time she married to Samar Ali Khan, a Pakistani politician who had been a Member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from May 2013 to May 2018,in July 2012 and until now, they are a ‘Lived Happily Ever After’ couple.
AtiqaOdho is not an inspiration for women entrepreneurs but also a philanthropist, contributing her services to Shaukat Khanam Cancer Memorial Hospital and Fatmeed Foundation.
After several famous sister duos, like Sajal&Saboor, Mawra&Urwa, and many more, here comes another up-and-coming sister duo: UroosaQureshi&MehwishQureshi.
Unlike many sisters, Mehwish and Uroosa resemble each other a lot. Like her sister, Mehwish too has started her career in acting and played roles in Zakham and Mere Baba kiOonchi Haveli. Her sister Uroosa is a well-known actress and model and one of many popular faces in the industry. She is best known for her roles in MeenuKaSusral, Daagh and SartajMeraTuRaajMera for which she was nominated for Best Soap Actress at 4th Hum Awards. Uroosa is happily married to actor Bilal Qureshi.
Mehwish got recently married and her wedding pictures looked beautiful. She is currently a young and fresh talent in the industry and there’s a long way ahead of her. We wish her all the very best for her future.
Pakistani industry is a witness of second marriages over decades. We see many couples, who once had a relationship one can adore, split into seconds and tying a knot to someone else in a couple of months. When a couple decides to split up, the news spread like a wildfire, leaving fans disappointed and disheartened.
The similar is the story of Sarwat Gillani, who is a popular actor and have worked in successful drama and film projects. The lesser-known fact about her life is her past: before Fahad, Sarwat was briefly married to Omer Saleem in 2005, but unfortunately, their marriage didn’t last long and they parted their ways in 2008.
Omer Saleem is the brother of the famous TV personality, Ali Saleem aka Begum Nawazish Ali. The reason of divorce, according to various news sources, is that their relationship didn’t work out and that she was not happy with him. However, now she feels lucky to be with Mirza and couldn’t be happier.
In 2014, after a long friendship period, Sarwat Gillani tied knots with Fahad Mirza. He, aside from his profession as a plastic surgeon, is an actor and model, too. He is best known for his debut role in Essa in 2012 drama serial Bari Apa. The couple tied knots and is living a happy life with their two baby boys.
Matches are made in heaven, and the one who’s your destiny, will definitely find way to you no matter the circumstances.
Every day we see new young sensations in the industry. Many of them are sons or daughters of actors/actresses already working in the industry for years. Especially girls, daughters of many veterans have been in the industry, acting and giving us some major beauty goals.
Girls go through some major and beautiful transformation from childhood to adult phase. Similarly, the daughter of a famous actor and film director, a fashion and makeup diva, Rea Moammar Rana has all grown up to be a beautiful, elegant lady. Her pictures are roaming all around social media and we all are drooling over her looks.
She is a certified makeover artist and runs an Instagram page, having 67.4k followers, with the name of reaxmakeup. Her Insta page is bombarded with many beautiful makeover pictures, which represents her love for makeup. According to her post on September 11, her mother has started a new clothing line by her own name, Mehnaz Moammar.
Reea Moammar is the daughter of Moammar Rana, a famous actor and film director, and granddaughter of Pakistani test cricketer, Shafqat Rana, who played five tests from 1964 to 1969. Moammar is happily married to Mehnaz Pervaiz since 1998 and has two beautiful daughters.
Everyone has their first moment when they kick start their career. The feeling & emotion in your first career opportunity is an unforgettable memory from the past. One of the most popular actresses, VJ and hosts, also had her first audition which she went through pretty confidently.
We have seen many faces in the industry that started off their career as a VJ and then came into the drama or even film industry and had the strong grasp of their profession in a short period. The beautiful Urwa Hocane had her first audition on a reality show, VJ Hunt, held in 2008, on ARY Musik. She was confident and spontaneous to judges’ questions. Though she didn’t win the 2008 season finale, she still got an opportunity to work as a VJ on ARY Musik.
She later made her acting debut with a leading role in the 2012 drama serial, Meri Ladli along with Ahsan Khan and Sajal Ali. Urwa is now one of the successful actresses and popular faces in Pakistani industry. Now, she has even made her film debut in 2014 romantic comedy Na Maloom Afraad. She starred as a supporting role along with some renowned faces, like Javed Sheikh, Fahad Mustafa, and many more.
An important message to extract is, there may be a win-lose situation, never focus on ends rather what you did throughout.
The young sensation, Ahad Raza Mir, the famous lead actor of Yaqeen Ka Safar, has gained success in a short span of time. He has not only got handsome features but also has some pro acting skills. The young actor got popularity on social media, for some irrelevant reasons.
People have got some pro skills in passing comments, even if they aren’t needed or necessary Similarly, Ahad Raza Mir shared a picture in which he and his brother are carrying their mother in their arms. YES! That’s the ONLY reason they got bashed.
Instead of expected positive vibes from the audience, people overreacted by commenting abusive and negative language. Some took it as a modern yet immoral way to show love for a mother and some thought to better keep personal lives private. While we see some senseless comments, some were encouraging enough to promote a friendlier and healthier relationship with parents.
We think it was adorable—two sons proudly carrying their mother. Mother-children relationship can never be the same. Some may like to keep to have friendliness and some may not, so it is better to not generalize rather accept that we also need to build such relationship with our parents.
Faryal Mehmood entered the world of showbiz few years back and has been part of some of the biggest projects this year especially.

Every person, be it a boy or a girl, must have asked their friends who they resemble. And by resemble, they mean a ‘which celebrity are they look alike?’ You are on that list too, right? We knew it!! We all have a little obsession to feel in the ninth sky if we resemble a famous celebrity, don’t we?
The beautiful, young mother of two boys, Hira Mani has some resemblance too, but with whom? While showcasing her flawless makeup skills on Farah Khan’s morning show, Ek Nayee Subha with Farah, the host asked a question amid ongoing casual convo, “who does Hira resemble?” and the audience came with many; some said Anushka, Amisha, Kareena. The host said Katrina Kaif to which Hira laughed and told, “Mujhe kehta hai Katrina and Kareena ki yakhni (stock). Jitna unhe boil karengay utna Hira niklegi”
Mani is popularly known for his witty and jolly behaviour, and keeping Hira & Mani famous love story in mind, we think it was a way too cute gesture from him.

Turkish dramas have a huge fan following in Pakistan; people drool over Turkish plots and actors more than the local drama serials. One can watch Turkish dramas with Urdu dubbing on many popular local entertainment channels.
Ever wondered who are those talented people behind voice-overs? One of the most popular actresses had started her career by dubbing international drama serials, but little did she know her transitional journey is just ahead of her.
In an interview with the morning host Farah Khan, the ever-gorgeous actress, Sarah Khan shared how she had a career shift, but…it wasn’t easy.
She told, “I had dreamt of an acting career since childhood, but I ended up as a voice-over artist. Once, I got the chance to act in a project, but after that, I couldn’t work for another two years because I always thought it was something that required too much patience. But I realized I was always inclined towards acting since childhood. It was only then when I started and didn’t look back till date.”
One should always believe in one’s strength and abilities because a human is capable of much more than his own thoughts. Always believe in your dreams and never underestimate your talents and skills.
Tonight’s episode of Meri Gurya showed how after Samreen was rescued by Safina, the news that Dabeer was the serial killer spread like wild fire. While Shehnaz, Shahmir, Yawar and Safina were in shock when they found out the truth, Dabeer’s parents were clearly in denial. Dabeer’s mother in particular did not even want to think on those lines and she blamed Safina entirely for this “false” news. Everyone’s state of mind was presented in a convincing manner. When Safina came to Shehnaz and broke this news to her, the expressions on Shehnaz’s face in particular and that entire scene was really powerful.
Khaani Vibes
The conversations and some scenes tonight suggested that Dabeer’s mother had a big role to play in shaping up his personality. The fact that she always covered up for him even when she knew that he was wrong added to making him what he is today. I must say that I was expecting something entirely different and still hope that there is a better explanation for Dabeer’s criminal behavior and evil ways. This particular track gave Khaani vibes. The whole message of Khaani was that parents are responsible for a child’s upbringing and if they don’t do their job right, the society suffers. Dabeer was never shown as a spoilt child or a grown up seeking control but he always came across as a psychopath. Usually such people have bigger underlying issues. One person who still needs a reality check is Abida’s daadi. I was hoping that Dabeer’s track would in some way be linked to her but there was no such indication in this episode. The fact that Dabeer was always different from others was reinforced repeatedly therefore it seemed like some incident in his childhood changed his personality. Waiting to find out more about this particular aspect since putting the blame Dabeer’s mother is not convincing enough.
Sheikh Sahab’s Stubbornness
Sheikh Sahab’s stubbornness once again showed a different mentality which exists in our society. Talking openly about rape is considered a taboo which is why most rapists get away. Sheikh sahab has been shown as the samaj ka thekedar who cannot accept the fact that Shehnaz and Safina made him stand in a line to get his DNA tested. Similarly, Abida’s daadi was shown blaming the victims instead of blaming the rapist and the murderer. This unfortunately is the bitter reality of our society.
Shehnaz and Safina – Inspiring As Usual
Shehnaz has always been shown as a strong woman. Tonight, there were times when her strength was difficult to connect to but inspiring nevertheless. Sania Saeed’s brilliant performance continues to impress in every episode. Sonya Hussyn’s character too never fails to impress and inspire. Although Safina was completely shattered after discovering the truth but the amount of empathy she felt for all the mothers of the victims allowed her to carry on. The fact that Safina can feel other people’s pain enables her to do things most people are not even capable of doing. Empathy has always been the main driving force in her track. Even when she overlooked Dabeer’s flaws, she did it because she was trying too hard to understand him. The writer has etched-out both these characters brilliantly.
Appearances Are Deceptive – Parents Should Not Trust Anyone With Their Children
The most important message in this episode and the serial overall is that parents should never trust their children with anyone. I was waiting to hear from Abida’s father that he was the one who asked Abida to give Dabeer water on the night she disappeared but that never happened. Shehnaz rightly said that she did whatever she could to protect her children but sometimes you are completely helpless. The basic reason why no one doubted Dabeer was because he came across as a shy person who it seemed was incapable of harming anyone. He used this image to have an easy access to people’s houses and probably to trap his innocent victims.
Performances, Execution and Script
Just like every other episode, tonight too, the performances were exceptional. Mohsin Abbas Haider is extremely convincing and impressive in this role. Sania Saeed, Sonya Hussyn and Sajid Hassan gave phenomenal performances in this episode. Even the child star playing Dabeer’s cousin’s role acted so well. The director has done complete justice to this script. The overall feel of this play couldn’t have been better. There were some aspects of the story tonight which were not as impressive as the previous few episodes but overall the script continues to be engaging.
The Preview of The Next Episode
The preview of the next episode was short and to the point. The next episode will cover legal proceedings. Meri Gurya has been an engaging and fast-paced play so far, I hope it is wrapped up soon and has a logical ending.
