Controversial celebrity Qandeel Baloch rose to fame by posting indecent stuff on social media. She became extremely famous and everything she did was covered vastly by the electronic media. Qandeel caused an uproar when she posted some selfies with Mufti Abdul Qavi on her account. As a result of this controversy, Qavi faced a lot of backlash from the masses and was stripped off his membership from both PTI as well as Ruet e Hilal Committee.

Qandeel was killed by her brother later. The case was termed as an honor killing and her brother Muhammad Waseem confessed to the heinous crime in front of the media. Mufti Abdul Qavi was also named in the FIR by Qandeel’s father. Over a year has passed and a court in Multan has issued non-bailable warrant of Qavi because he is not cooperating with the police.

Qavi on the other hand says that he is always at his madrissa and can be reached easily. He said that he has always coperated with the law and will keep doing so in the future as well.

Will Qandeel ever get justice? It is a question hard to answer!

Back in March 2014, we had all heard about the unfortunate accident that resulted in Pakistan’s First Miss Veet model turned actress Sana Khan’s death as the car in which she and her husband of three months Babar Khan were travelling enroute to Hyderabad crashed fatally. Then, in 2015, we got to know about Babar Khan’s second marriage to a girl in her teens, Bisma Khan. Babar had been out of the show I scene since Sana’s death, hence these news remained news and nobody knew the real story behind them.

Today, in Shaista Lodhi’s morning show, Babar Khan made an appearance and talked about everything that happened in his life since that unfortunate day. His was a love marriage and they had merely spent three months together when Sana unexpectedly left him for her eternal abode. Babar was extremely honest and vulnerable today by speaking of how it effected him. He told her that Sana’s demise had left him so depressed that he tried to take his life on many occasions after that. The aftermath of accident left him suicidal to the extent that he took sleeping pills and searched for different ways to attempt suicide while escaping the friends and family who swarmed him everyday, afraid for his own safety.

Shaista had also called his mother, Ishrat who spoke of a mother’s pain as she saw her only child slipping away in depression helplessly. She told of the day of accident when Babar refused to recognise anyone else except the dead body of his beloved wife. He had spilt open his head in the accident which he never got stitched and the wound got infected and he also developed seizures due to a blood clot in his brain as he did not want any medical intervention for himself after Sana’s death, so intent was he on passing away with her.

He seemed like an extremely loving husband to Sana, but sadly she could not live long enough to indulge in his love and care. Their love story and his condition after her death seems like one out of movies but it is true and very very saddening.

Shaista Lodhi then called Babar’s second wife Bisma and their kids Maryam and Ibrahim on the show. Babar told her how the birth of his daughter Maryam gave him the courage and happiness to move forward in a life that had lost all charm for him.

Bisma Khan is a beautiful young girl who got married to him after her matric and did inter later. The two married in 2015 and she is already a mother twice. Speaking of her experience with Babar Khan, she told in a gentle manner that she agreed to this marriage for her parents’ sake and that Babar had already told her about his love for Sana which she understood.

The adorable young bride told that she had found it confusing and difficult to adjust with him earlier and even through pregnancy but when Babar took their little girl in his arms for the first time, he was a changed man altogether.

Shaista then probed them about their love life and made Babar say romantic dialogues to Bisma which seemed a little forced, even though he appears to be a good and caring husband for his second wife as well, even though not as romantically inclined, which makes a lot of practical sense. His union with Sana was stuff made out of dreams, mystified more by her early demise. His marriage with Bisma is based more on life’s practicalities, especially since they are parents to two under two at the moment.

All in all, it was one of Shaista Lodhi’s best shows where the guests and even the host actually had a real topic to talk about. It was a sad but meaningful one and you walk away with the messages of not taking any loved one for granted as life is very unpredictable and that it goes on. People closer to you than life pass away but life goes on.

Sadia Khan is very pretty actress who has played powerful roles in a number of plays. Her good looks and style make her very popular. Recently she celebrated her birthday with friends and family and we have some clicks of the event for you. Most of them appear to be with her co star and close friend Imran Abbas. Here, have a look;

Yesterday’s Nida Yasir’s show was about the theme of Mayoon. She had invited many celebrities like Benita, Nadia Hussain, Aliya Sarim, Isha Noor and Umm e Raheel. There was a lot of chaos, mehndi, dholki, fancy wear and jewellery. However, one celebrity that stood out among all the rest was Noor Bukhari. She was dressed up just like the rest of them with a heavily embellished shirt and silk sharara kind of bottoms but she had also donned a heavy matching dopatta, and not only hanging in style ; her dopatta was draped all over her head and upper body in full hijab style.

Yes it is surprising, as we have never seen Noor like this earlier, but since her divorce with her third husband, Hamid Wali Khan, she announced that she wants to study and promote religion and wishes to only attend religious programs. Well, this one wasn’t exactly religious but Noor Bukhari’s attire certainly was…

Meesha Shafi opened the fashion show wearing Ali Xeeshan’s created fitted glittery white jumpsuit and performed none other than Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” and boy! it was dazzling.

She made the Magnum Party 2k17 live up to it’s reputation of “for the pleasure seekers”, the surrealism is breathtakingly gorgeous.

Paired with the eye mask Meesha looked so Lady Gaga-ish it was brilliant. Here’s a clip from the event.

All that projection makes her look nothing less than a living breathing work of art herself.

We hope you loved her Nina Simone cover just as much as we did and just to ring some old bells here’s the original Nina Simone Feeling Good track.

Enjoy the James Bond feels.

Fawad Khan is one of the most established actors in the industry. He is immensely loved by his fans and is always busy with shoots and events. But Fawad is a true family man. He has always supported his wife Sadaf. Sadaf launched a collection named after her daughter Elayana. Husband Fawad and both the kids were there to cheer mommy. The little princess looked super-cute as she heads out to the launch named after her. Here are some pictures of the lovely family having fun together at the event:

Magnum is a word synonymous to the world of food, pleasure and fashion. Magnum Chocolate Party is an annually held fashion event which was first held back in 2012, ever since then it’s been a platform known to all designers, models, actors, singers in short the whole fashion industry. The event is super grand and the grandeur of art in it is aesthetically pleasing to all senses.

Magnum Chocolate Party presented A Chocolate Affair this year in Lahore and it was “wowzah” through and through. Take a look.

The event was all star studded and dipped neck down in chocolate, let us know what you loved and what you didn’t love about the event down in the comments section.

This Bilal Ashraf, Urwa Hocane and Gohar Rasheed starrer is back on our radar again with it’s new song “Bagiya” which is brimming with love and all that’s beautiful in this world.

The lyrics are sure to give you those desi love song feels as Jonita Gandhi’s melodious voice transports you into another world.

Now close your eyes, lay back and let the music work it’s magic on you.

We’d love to hear what you have to say about this new song, all aboard the comments section.

Ushna Shah recently attended the Magnum Party event 2017 in her Erum Khan sizzling hot red number, while some found Ushna dazzling others were there with the derogatory comments I don’t find fit enough to be mentioned here.

The actress went through the same episode not long ago when she wore Zuria Dor contemporary, short number in grayish-silver at the Lahore premier of Punjab Nahi Jaongi and the dress was dubbed “too revealing”.

Ushna being Ushna took it to her social media and dealt with all the haters herself.

This being another day of her being caught in the middle of cross fire between the bold fashion world and moral brigade. Here are the pictures from the event.

We haven’t heard if this was enough to get a reaction from the actress herself so far but we’re here to keep an eye on the story and keep you updated.

If you have anything to add to the story, you know what to do.

Bilal Abbas Khan is ruling the television screens right now with his magical portrayal of Qasim. He has impressed millions with his performance and people are counting him as the next big thing in the industry. Bilal came on Jago Pakistan Jago recently and told his fans many unknown things about him. Here are few:

1. Bilal’s mom wanted him to go into the Army but he was not a fan of the tough training the aspirants have to go through. To escape from that training, Bilal started to act in theatre plays.

2. His first role was that of a girl. Bilal went to an all-boys school, so he was the one chosen to perform the girls part since Bilal looked very innocent and fitted the part. Boys at his school used to bully him on this but he never bothered and always pursued his passion.

3. His favourite actress his Ayeza Khan. Bilal is a super fan of Ayeza. He once shared this with a friend who is a friend of Ayeza too. Later Ayeza Khan sent him a voice note appreciating his work and expressing that she would one day love to work with him. In Bilal’s words, It made his day!

4. Bilal was very nervous on working with Nouman Ijaz. He told that he was insanely star-struck by his presence. But Nouman Ijaz asked him to be comfortable and motivated him to do his best and now we have Qasim in front of us.

5. He told that his father is very supportive of his decisions. His mother, on the other hand, had some reservations when he joined showbiz instead of opting for Army but she is very proud of him now.

Bilal is undoubtedly a great addition to the industry. Let’s wait and see what will be next for his fans after a mesmerizing performance in O Rangreza!

Talking about the most watched shows this season, O Rangreza comes to our minds at once. The drama has managed to hook us from the beginning and people have fallen in love with innocent Qasim and the mysterious Sassi. Both the stars Sajal Aly and Bilal Abbas are ruling our screens right now. While on an interview, they both were asked if they will marry an actor. And their answers were straightforward NOOOs!

Bilal said that he always wanted to be an actor and obviously love his job. But it would be difficult for him to come back home and still talk about the same work environment where he spent the day. He wants a sense of space and a bit free time from what he does all day which won’t be possible if he marries an actress. Bilal is not willing to marry in his family. When asked about why he has so many demands, the actor replied with a witty response ke dimagh bohat ooper chala gaya hai!

Sajal, when asked the same question, said that she wants to marry someone with a more stable and “reputable” (she laughed) job since earlier she said in our society when you are asked about what you do and you say Acting, people say woh to theek hai parr kaam kya karte ho. So our Sassi though she loves showbiz in O Rangreza don’t want to get married to an actor in real life.

Both the stars were thankful to their fans who loved their drama and are appreciating their work. Lets see when will our Qasim and Sassi will find their life partners and will they stand with their statements of not marrying actors. Only time will tell!

The Punjabi pop is defined, designed and celebrated by the undisputed king of bhangra in Pakistan, Abrar Ul Haq.

Now he has everyone waiting for the his new song “Facebook Utte”, coming out on 12th of October. Meanwhile, enjoy its freshly released teaser;

Farhan Saeed, the formal vocalist of Jal has made a place for himself in industry. He has always made the audience go gaga over his voice. Farhan ventured into acting with drama Dey Ijazat Jo Tu opposite Sohai Ali Abroo. His last serial Udaari was a hit and he also managed to impress the audience with his acting skills.

Noor has made quite a name for herself in the Pakistani media. From film to ramp walking to drama acting to Tv show hosting, Noor has done it all, but there comes a point in everyone’s life which challenges your core values and essence as a human being. This time is probably that for Noor, since she has spoken about not wanting to associate with the media in any form except for the promotion and understanding of Islam. She was speaking to Express News about her desire to use the rest of her life only for religious education.

Noor wants her fans and followers and all those who admired her to now follow in her footsteps in the new journey as well.

Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday congratulated Oscar award winner Pakistani Filmmaker and Director Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy for getting Emmy Award.

He said Sharmeen Chinoy had won the award by utilising her best capabilities and Emmy Award for her documentary ‘A Girl in River’ was the matter of pride for the country. He said she had brought good name to the country by winning the award and the nation was proud of competent women like Sharmeen. He said for progress and development in the country all women of Pakistan should work like Sharmeen in their fields. –APP

Shahid Khan Afridi has always been popular among ladies so this doesn’t come as a shock that Bollywood actress Zareen Khan has a huge crush on him.

Zareen Khan attended the event held by T10 Cricket League in UAE as celebrity ambassador of the team Pakhtoons. When there’s cricket there’s Shahid Khan Afridi and he was representing no other team but Pakhtoons hence both of them were meant to meet and as they did the pictures of the event went viral.

Zareen Khan revealed in her interview that she is a huge Shahid Khan Afridi fan and not just a fan she has had a huge crush on him since forever. The Bollywood actress further said that it wasn’t just his cricket-skills but also the way he looked and his hair, she admired all of it.

https://youtu.be/9gY6FKLpJ_k

Talking about Shahid she said “I have been a fan of Afridi from the very first day he had played his match, I think he was 16 and scored 100 runs on 32 or 35 balls.” Zareen further said that meeting with Afridi is a dream come true. Meanwhile, Shahid Khan Afridi said that “When (Pakhtoons franchise owner Habib Khan) came to me and told about this, I said ‘Please, let me play in this format’.”

Zareen Khan also said that she was born in India but belongs to a Pakhtoon family. She said that it’s the best thing people of India and Pakistan could do to revive peace by showing that there is no animosity between them.

Let’s hope the love and admiration that our celebrities share for each other can be reciprocated by the politicians of the two neighboring countries too.

Big Boss has been one of the most talked about shows for a long time. Some people love it and some hate but it still here to stay and each season comes with all the more fanfare than before.

Na Maloom Afraad 2 released this Eid and in cinemas for over a month now. The film has proven to be a huge success in financial terms as well as was loved by a large chunk of the audience. The film, however, was banned in Punjab after running for so long and the reason given was “vulgar scenes” in the movie. The ban was challenged as it should have been and now the censor board in Punjab has reviewed the movie and consequently, the ban has been lifted after prevailing just for one day. This is the notice issued by the government:

So Na Maloom Afraad 2 is back in cinemas!

Two time academy award winner Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is making it to the news headlines yet again after scoring an award for ‘Best Documentary‘ at the 38th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards for ‘A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness’.

The award ceremony was held at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City on Thursday.

The documentary primarily revolves around a girl who survived an honour killing attempt from her own family and lived to tell the tale. The documentary got nominated for three different categories including Best Documentary, Outstanding Short Documentary and Outstanding Music and Sound.

On winning the award Sharmeen Obaid said the following:

“It is an honour for my team to win the Emmy for best documentary! A Girl in the River started a discourse about honour killings in Pakistan but there is a lot of work still to be done and we are committed to continuing our advocacy.” 

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has previously won Oscars for ‘Saving Face’ and ‘A Girl in the River’ and an Emmy for ‘Children of Taliban’.

More power to Sharmeen Obaid and to everyone who is voicing the ones silenced by fear. Kudos to you ma’am.

After 5 weeks of running successfully in cinemas Punjab Government issued a notification this Friday banning Na Maloom Afraad 2 from further screening.

Censor board cited “persistent complaints from different quarters” as the reason behind the ban. Though a legit reason hasn’t been given by the government for the ban yet the ban continues to keep Na Maloom Afraad from reaching the big screen.

This isn’t the first time Na Maloom Afraad 2 has fallen under scrutiny, it was barred in UAE citing that it “allegedly misrepresented Arabs”.

This Javed Sheikh, Fahad Mustafa and Mohsin Abbas Haider starrer comedy film revolves around the misadventures of the above trio as they embark on a get-rich-quick scheme in Cape Town… involving an Arab sheikh and his gold toilet.

“This is a really strange move by the Punjab Censor Board. We had already received clearance by the censor board and the film released in September with no issues,” Nabeel Qureshi, director of the film, stated in an interview. “Were they just not watching the film at that time?”

Qureshi further said “To clear a film for screening and then ban it a month later sets a really bad precedent. It’s just ridiculous. Also, the censor board issued the notification on a weekend so I couldn’t even go to court to challenge [the ban] immediately,” he went on to add that he will take the matters to court and bring Na Maloom Afraad 2 back to the big screen.

Looks like a beginning of another controversy that will take many turns.

Our anticipation for Rangreza began with it’s teaser trailer release back in June in which Bilal Ashraf looked exceedingly hot followed by Urwa Hocane looking aesthetically divine and Gohar Rasheed portraying madness and all this with Abida Parveen’s soulful voice in the back ground, wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that we were in love.

And to remind us of our anticipation of this film here’s the steamingly hot and deviously charming official poster for the movie.

Gushed yet?

This Bilal Ashraf, Urwa Hocane and Gohar Rasheed starrer musical romance is set to reach new heights for a Pakistani film and is said to premier in various international locations.

After Jaanan’s huge success it is only natural for us to have high expectations from Rangreza and there’s a good chance we won’t be disappointed, the movie is set to release this December and we are ready to be blown away with cinematic mastery.
