Faisal Qureshi is one of the most experienced and talented actors of our drama industry.

There are few things as interesting as siblings who are celebrity. Why? Well, you get to know the embarrassing childhood stories from one sibling then! They are practically two sides of the same coin! It’s true that we love to hear anything and everything about the childhood of our favourite celebrities. No one can argue that siblings share a very special bond and act as a shield from the outside world for one another, support one another and help one another out. Nida Yasir rounded up a few celebrity siblings on her show recently. She had very heart touching information about each pair. Watch the video below to find out what she said:
When two artists work together in a film, they develop a special relation with one another. After all, they spend so much time together, discuss so many things together, go through similar circumstances so a bond is definitely formed.

The soon-to-be singer Danyal Zafar might very well be known as the brother of Ali Zafar, but he has got some balls of talent on this court too. The artist is making his debut with Coke Studio Season 10 and he is already floating above the clouds with excitement and joy. The singer cum guitarist and songwriter will be giving new life to two old songs in Pakistan’s leading musical series.
While expressing his delight over the much awaited debut, Zafar in conversation with the local publication house said:
“I always dreamt of a debut that could best help me express myself as an artist in such a way that my music could also connect with people. There are two aspects to this, one: the platform where you launch your music, this is where I was lucky enough to be considered worthy of appearing on Coke Studio – a dream comes true. Two: the music itself. He added, “Sometimes when you are working on a song that’s already been created, it’s a gamble – whether or not it’s going to be something you’ll like or whether is it true to your essence as a musician or not. I am glad that I have been very fortunate in both instances.”
Getting such a huge chance on almost no experience he said:
“As far as my experience is concerned, it was like these two extremes, on one end there was this slight pressure and nervousness – the fact that musicians I’ve grown up listening to are right there, watching and waiting for me to prove myself. And when it happened, it was just so overwhelming.”
Appreciating the efforts that are being put by everyone, on and off the stage, in Coke Studio Zafar chimed:
“Everyone involved, on and off the stage, was so amazing in their own individual capacity as artists, they empowered me so much and by the time we got done I was in this surreal state of trance. I couldn’t hear anything, all the post recording banter was suddenly in super slow-mo, voices fading out like I was in a movie. It took me a while to absorb everything. I am very exciting about putting my work out there and to growing as a musician in the years to come.”
We wish Danyal Zafar all the best for his impending debut, and hope that he is going to be a rock-star like this brother.
Mahira Khan and Saba Qamar have been compared from time and again; more after they both debuted in India. Though Mahira with her killer looks became Zaalima across the border, Saba and her on-point acting skills definitely aced the Indian cinematic industry. Since then, there is no stopping the comparison between too, with the weight being on Qamar’s side.
Entertainment fanatics had constantly been poking Mahira for being jealous of Saba. Now, she has come forward with an explanation. The Humsafar actress has said that she is not jealous of the appreciation that Saba Qamar has been getting across the border.
She further said that it is totally a hoax claim that she is jealous of Saba. Explaining her stance, she said that Saba is also a Pakistani artist and performed exceptional in Hindi Medium.
The actress, claiming her seniority in the industry, also stated that the actors should continue working on exceptional projects with their outstanding talent so that Pakistan is recognized throughout the world.

Project Ghazi was a highly anticipated film for Pakistani cinema but things didn’t go well when the movie’s release was postponed on the premier night just one day before the release. The film is said to have a lot of technical issues especially with sound. But the delay didn’t only shocked the audience but cinema owner’s as well.
Kamran Yar Khan of Nuplex Cinemas said: “We updated our website as soon as we found out, I saw Project Ghazi’s Facebook post at 1am that the release date has been pushed back. I called the distributor and she confirmed the news to me. As soon as the news broke customers who had pre-booked tickets for the film were annoyed, but the cinema had that covered. As per our policy, we give the customers the option to get a refund or exchange the ticket with another film. Of course, we received numerous complaints after Project Ghazi was postponed. Our phone line has been ringing non-stop since last night. It’s very rare that release dates get postponed, it has usually been the case with Hollywood films, but a first for a local film.”
He explained the position of the cinemas and also had an advice regarding premiering the film: “It’s an unfortunate position for a cinema, it’s regretful. The producers and distributors don’t understand that we, the cinemas, have to face the customers. We deal with them directly and get caught in the middle. Pulling a film after a premiere is unheard of, especially after a successful premiere (in terms of crowd). They [the filmmakers] shouldn’t have premiered it. There is no precedent for such an incident; this has never happened before.”
Mohsin Yaseen of Cinepax was very straightforward: “I thought the filmmakers made the right decision. I saw the film the morning before the premiere and I have never seen such a bad film in my life, I’m happy [the film has been delayed], now people will see a different film altogether, I haven’t faced any issues after this decision came about. I am happy that a film which is incomplete and is technically not sound has been cancelled. When the filmmakers previewed the film at the premiere they knew it was not complete. It’s a good and wise decision because the public would’ve rejected it.”
He further added: “Please see the film and make the necessary changes to it. The people behind Project Ghazi woke up after the premiere and realised that they’ve missed details in the film. I want to be really harsh but I will restrict my comments to myself.”
All the cinema owners got news of the delayed release via Project Ghazi’s Facebook page and were not informed beforehand.
India might be considered ahead than us in a lot of things when the Entertainment Industry of both the countries are compared but according to Raghav Sacha Pakistani Music is much better than India’s. Sacha told a foreign news agency,
Pakistan comprises a mammoth independent music segment and its musicians are much more evolved as there is lesser ‘bastardisation’ of a musician in the neighbouring country as compared to Bollywood.
Raghav has spent 15 years of his life as a music composer, composing for Bollywood hits like Rustam, Kabul Express and One Two Three. In addition to these, he has also worked on several independent projects.
He also praised the segregation of different music genres in Pakistan.
They (Pakistan) have a very big independent segment. There is Sufi, rock and more. They attempt songs and give them a different light because there is lesser ‘bastardisation’ of a musician.
He also mentioned the problems with Bollywood music:
In Bollywood, what happens is that you are making a song for a film which is directed by a person. Even the director is probably not much involved in music making. It’s basically the producer who is putting in the money and then the label. So, by the time the music is made by the music director to the release time, there are multiple changes made to the song and it ends up losing soul because too many cooks spoil the broth.
He further said that if the Coke Studio of Pakistan and India are compared, the vast difference in the quality of the product is very visible. He believes that the reason for this is that independent music is given a lot of importance in Pakistan.
Sonya Hussyn is a very beautiful actress who has made her mark with a lot of lovely roles. She is very versatile and be it a damsel in distress or a tomboy or a shaded woman, Sonya carries it all with grace and dignity.
Earlier, her image was of a very simple elegant girl that has an aura of delicacy around her. Now she has ventured into slightly bolder roles and looks amazing in all of them.
Her acting career is marked by a number of dramas where she was appreciated widely for her acting skills, the prominent ones being Marasim, Main Hari Piya, Farwa ki abc, Nikah, Shikwa and Hasil. Her debut film Moor got her nominated for the Best Actress Award in 2016.
Sonya got a surprise midnight birthday celebration from her parents, which she is so happy about.
She then spent the day in the very rewarding company of needy people at the Eidhi Centre for homeless people. That was the sweetest ever gesture by her.
She posted some pictures of her with orphans from the Eidhi Centre school as well, sharing some genuine happiness with the kids who need it the most.
On her 26th birthday today, we wish Sonya all the best in her personal and professional endeavours. We hope to continue seeing her with all the more power and with her usual subtle, gentle expressions that are so effective in getting the messages across to her viewers.
In case you didn’t know, I made up the last one but I would be in full support if such a bill in passed in our national assembly. Afterall, ludo is the only game that has the power to ruin even childhood friendships and the strongest bonds. It’s the game of ludo that makes and breaks relations in Pakistan.
One might argue that the game was forgotten with the advent of smartphones and apps. It is true that all the boardgames had to suffer from a major set-back and watch in silence as “Candy Crush”, “Piano Tiles”, “Angry Birds”, etc. took their place. But not anymore! Ludo Star was launched on the app store earlier this year and has taken the world by storm, especially Pakistan. In fact, it seems like this game has become Pakistanis’ Addiction! Have a look at people’s views on this game:
Dil to Bachcha hai!
I think I am mature enough to take big decisions of my life. also me: I must win this ludo star game or the world will end.#Ludo
The advent of Bollywood industry by our many stars has lead to an aura of friendships and mutual compassion between the two industries. They are there to root for eachother and congratulate and support eachother for the successes that come their way.
Mawra Hoccane has recently launched the advertisement for Lux with fellow beauties Maya Ali and Mahira Khan. She looked absolutely gorgeous on the day of launch;

Mawra replied in the same tone by vowing that they will celebrate this together once they get to see eachother again ;
There had been some rumours and speculations about the relations between the two, but both of them had cleared that they are just good friends. It’s good to see artists keeping their friendships despite the borders between them.
The second teaser of Arth 2 is out. This time we will be introduced to Uzma Hassan’s character. Uzma looks so different and beautiful and it looks like she was definitely perfect for this role.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa directorate of culture is working to revive live theater once again in order to promote peace and educate people regarding the social issues.
While talking to Dawn Images, the officials have reported that the theatrical activities will soon be revived. Young live performing artists would be selected through a media advertisement and seasoned theater actors would be hired to impart training to them.
Ajab Gul, a famous film actor is optimistic about the project. He has also shared his opinion over it while speaking to Dawn Images.
He said, “I offer my services to contribute to the said project. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has no dearth of talent. Before launching live theatre, it is also important to start teaching ‘art’ as subject at our colleges and universities.”
According to the culture deputy director, Shahbaz Khan, government has approved some important projects that would be executed next month. Some of the important projects are: creative entrepreneurs, two- day seminar on intangible cultural folk heritage, revival of glazed pottery and more. He also said that some units, associated to the project have already started working now. Research and documentation unit has started collecting important data on artists, poets, writers, artisans, scholars and academics. An online multilingual magazine, ‘Yoon’ has been launched by the language and literature unit. The e-magazine has already earned appreciation from the online readers.
Officials have also reported that an art academy, library and art gallery are also the part of this project.
Since, theater being a powerful medium to reach the masses could help in building a peace narrative within society.

After tonight’s brilliant episode, it would be safe to say that Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai has finally taken off! The character development and the turns in the story in the previous episode and this one have shifted the story to a completely new direction. Two weeks back if someone told me that I will be able to relate to the characters, feel for them at some point, and would actually be interested in the drama, I wouldn’t have believed them but surprisingly enough even though the direction of the drama still isn’t flawless but the story and the characters definitely have me totally hooked. A big reason for this is that the story is finally moving forward and for a change the focus is on the main leads. The viewers already know only too well what is at stake here therefore watching Maheen gradually coming into terms with her feelings, Waqar admitting how he feels about Maheen openly and Gulrez believing that Maheen is meant to be with him, has given rise to a no-win situation which keeps you at the edge of your seat! Jia’s track which seemed completely useless few weeks back is also turning out to be interesting. Jia was always shown as a friend who kept you guessing and not someone who gave negative vibes therefore I am wondering what she will do next.
A great deal changed in tonight’s episode and it was good to see all the characters showing their real feelings instead of keeping the viewers guessing. Maheen thought she was hurting Waqar by getting engaged to Gulrez but she has realized that she couldn’t have been more wrong – she isn’t only hurting Waqar but she is also losing him and she is not ready for that. Maheen has always been shown as someone who would want to be in control, someone who would like to have the last word and that was the only reason why Maheen initially made her decision but this time around she is finding it really hard to stick to her decision. Maheen choosing the blue dress even though Fajr informed her why her mother rejected it said a great deal about her frame of mind. Ayeza Khan’s performance was up to the mark in tonight’s episode; she translated all the emotions impeccably.
Waqar has always been one character which was easy to connect to (with the exception of those 2 episodes in which he got slapped & afterwards) and also someone we have all been rooting for therefore feeling for his character comes naturally and makes you wonder why he was treated so badly by everyone in the opening episode of the drama. No one plays the love struck but heartbroken hero like Imran Abbas. He is always convincing in such roles therefore I have to say that this episode belonged to him. Kinza Hashmi has also been doing complete justice to the role assigned to her. Fajr’s character has also been the most likeable character in the drama even when the drama as a whole had didn’t have a lot to offer.
Even though the ever-present background score could have proven to be a huge distraction in this episode but the scenes were so well written and the actors did their work so well that all the scenes had an impact. Also, Maheen wasn’t wearing the same outfit which she chose for the engagement. Despite of these minor glitches here and there, the episode as a whole was powerful; the dialogues, development in the story and the performances were right on point. The only confusion right now is that Waqar’s parents were also in the same car which had an accident therefore I am wondering howcome Jia’s mother was with them too.
Overall, the drama is definitely much more interesting now than it was two weeks back therefore anyone who completely gave up on this drama should tune into it now.
How many of you watched this episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
We have recently seen celebrities going switched off and everyone was wondering what is wrong. So here we got it!

One of the most amazing consequences of being an actor is that you get to see so many new places and are exposed to different cultures, multiple languages and other metropolitan things. Each new country that you visit enriches your experience and increases your exposure of the world as a person.

Ahsan Khan has become the king of our hearts, since the day he stepped into the industry. Not only was he known for his charming looks, but his on point acting is what made him even more loved. After Udaari, there was no stopping Khan’s fame and love by the fans. But, if you think that was all the admiration you can get out for him, then you are wrong!
Ahsan Khan in his drool-worthy new look will make you fall for him even more!
Did you see the handsome hunk? Oh, he seems the absolute Greek God of beauty! And, one more…
We can’t help but wonder whether this new look has to do anything with his upcoming role. Drama or a movie? This man has us bewitched and completely in drapes. We still don’t know what this exciting new look is for.
All we can do is wait till Ahsan pulls off the curtains behind the reason of this new look.
Meera Jee has once again taken a 360 turn in her comments and stance which she had earlier. While it was just a day or two ago when she said that Imran Khan should stop pushing hard for the government, today she has taken a U-turn again. This time, becoming an astrologer, Meera has predicted that the next election win will definitely go to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
She further said that Pakistan Muslim League and Nawaz Sharif will continued to be exposed further for the world to see. Meera Jee went on to say that the nation is with Imran Khan and they all are gearing up for his win in General Elections, 2018.
What’s more is that she will be getting married soon, but isn’t ready to reveal the name of her partner to-be just yet. You know, evil eyes and all. Right? She believes that every time she comes clean about her marriage, countless obstacles are created in her path to happiness.
For all we can guess, Meera has her way with antics to get media attention.
Yasir Nawaz has successfully tried his hand at almost all fields of showbiz in Pakistan. Starting as an actor initially, he has now produced and directed many TV plays, and now a movie, Mehrunnisa V Lub U starring Sana Javed and Danish Taimoor.
Lately, we have come to know that Yasir Nawaz is also going to play a part in the much anticipated drama Baaghi expected to air on Urdu1. The play is about the life of Qandeel Baloch, a social media star in Pakistan who lost her life at the hands of her younger brother.
Saba Qamar, as we all know, is playing the role of Qandeel herself, with a number of prominent actors playing the other characters in this story of her life. Talking about his particular role, Yasir said that he had met Qandeel once before she became a social media star, and spoken to her over the phone many times later. He said that he could sense there was something upsetting about her life that made her the way she is and that she was not very stable mentally. He further added that the aim of the play is to demonstrate that it is never right to kill somebody, based on the differences of your opinions with them.
He believes that we as a society need to know that the power of granting life and death lies with the Almighty only. He further added that his role is a small one and the show belongs to Saba Qamar who will be telling the whole story and everything that Qandeel went through by impersonating her.
Project Ghazi’s premier was a disaster, as reported by every media outlet and the people that witnessed the horror. The film was originally scheduled for a Friday release but got postponed right after its premiere on Thursday night. The film is said to be filled with technical issues especially regarding the animations and sound.
According to a report published in The Express Tribune, lead actor Humayun Saeed believed the film was incomplete beforehand.
I have worked in the film so I knew the dialogues but even I couldn’t understand anything.
He further expressed his dissatisfaction with the project saying,
Project Ghazi relies heavily on dialogues to explain the storyline and if it’s inexplicable, there is no point. The film cannot be judged right now.
According to the actor, he had been telling the producers to postpone the film for about a month.
Project Ghazi has potential as a film, so why not wait and deliver a better product to the masses? I don’t know but maybe the producers were under some pressure from the brands or something that made them continue with the premiere.
He admitted that it wasn’t that bad but said that he walked out halfway through the premier because he knew he had to stop it from releasing.
Everyone is aware that Pakistan’s film industry is still a growing one and Humayun confessed that this is the reason most of the ‘made in Pakistan’ films suffer from bad sound.He informed that this exactly is the reason the production goes abroad and uses foreign technologies and resources to make the sound effects bearable and even enjoyable.
We dub the dialogues usually. Even India does, because we don’t have the equipment and expertise to sync it on location. For Project Ghazi, we didn’t do dubbing so I knew something was going to go wrong.
The Bin Roye star predicted it will take at least four to five months to fix Project Ghazi’s issues and finally release it.
Everyone was excited about today because it was the date that Pakistan’s first ever superhero movie was supposed to be launched. Alas, things didn’t go as planned for ‘Project Ghazi’ as the premiere of the film turned out to be the biggest nightmare of all involved in the project. A lot of technical difficulties surfaced during the screening of the film, making it an unbearable watch and so just a day before it’s release date, it got postponed.
Guess who stepped in to talk about this on their instagram page?
Sheheryar Munawar? No.
Syra Shahroz? No.
Humayun Saeed? No.
It is Shahroz Sabzwari! And that too to promote his own film!

But we got to give it to him for making the post that clearly mocks ‘Project Ghazi’ cheesy and cute. The ‘love you’ aimed at his wife, at the end of the caption is just adorable.
Shehroz’s Chain Aye Ga’s trailer was heavily criticised by everyone on social media.Now social media is having the discussion that both Project Ghazi and Chain Aye Na are competing with each other in a contest of “Battle of the Failures”.
Despite everything, we hope and pray that Project Ghazi’s technical difficulties are all sorted out and it comes back as an amazing film. Being our country’s first superhero film it’s success will make a great example for its followers!
