Bilal and Uroosa Qureshi shared pictures from Sohaan Qureshi’s first birthday on Instagram and the couple look adorable, so does the birthday boy, Sohaan.

The cast of Yalghaar including Shaan Shahid appeared on Kamran Shahid’s show and Shaan and director Hassan Rana finally answered the controversies surrounding the movie.

Shaan was accompanied by Sana Bucha, Ayesha Omer and Dr. Hassan Rana on the show. When Shaan was questioned about his part in the film he said: “When people stopped making Urdu films, I had to choose between leaving Pakistan or doing Punjabi films. I did the latter. I have always tried to support film industry to save it from decline. People have been saying that I’m not supporting Yalghaar. It’s not a film which has one hero. There is no one person. The entire army is the hero here. I did not want to the person who give people the idea that I’m the hero and I’m doing all the shooting and the saving. It’s like a national responsibility, everyone is sacrificing for it, journalists, citizens and armies.For me, it was a national responsibility. This soil has made me who I am. I have to give something back.”

And then Dr. Hassan cleared the air by saying: “From the very first frame, you will see Shaan. The narrative of this film is lead by Shaan. Sana is asking the tough questions in the film. Ayesha is representing the strong women of Pakistan. Humayun represents the inner evil inside all of us.”

Sana Bucha answered this when she was asked about her transition from journalist to actress: “People have been asking why have I switched journalism for acting. I have given up anchoring, not acting. I’ll forever remain into journalism. I never felt like I was acting, I felt like I was doing what I do.”

Ayesha’s first film was Yalghaar but its release got delayed but Ayesha is happy on being part of such a big film: “The story of the film is very close to our hearts. War films are always about action. Yalghaar touches upon the personal life and emotional side of people associated with this profession. I realized how passionate Doc is and how he is true to his work. For me, it’s a huge honor that I’m doing this film with such huge names.”

The controversies are finally put to rest; thanks to Shaan’s appearance on the interview!

Pehlaaj is all over the television these days. He is the son of famous anchor Iqrar ul Hassan. We have seen him in Ramadan transmissions and Jeeto Pakistan. So Daily Pakistan got in touch with the kid and what followed was the cutest interview ever. Watch it and see how Pehlaaj gives some scoop from his Papa’s singing to his own selfie adventures.

You will all agree with me that Pehlaaj indeed is the cutie of television this season. Share your thoughts on the cute interview!

16th December 2014 was a very dark day for our entire nation. In the deadliest slaughter of innocents in Pakistan in years, Taliban gunmen had attacked Army Public School Peshawar killing 141-almost all of them students- before the army troops ended the siege.

This incident had left the nation shocked and angry. However, our nation became united after the unforgiving incident and vowed to not give in to what the terrorists wanted to achieve; make us fear living in Pakistan.

The world condemned the horrifying incident and promised to stand beside Pakistan in its fight against terrorists.

Recently, Dheeraj Jindal, an Indian director, made a short film on the incident. Watch the short film and learn why the name of the film is ‘The School Bag’ :

Leading actress and producer Hareem Farooq will be hosting a television celebrity show titled “Super Stars ka Super Show” this Eid ul Fitr on Hum TV. The show has been shot with beautiful Pakistani celebrities like Azfar Rehman, Ahsan Khan, Sanam Saeed, Osman Khalid Butt and more. The show will be broadcast on first two days of Eid.

In a short span of career, Hareem has already proved her worth as a beautiful television and film actress in the industry. She has also received praise for recently hosting Hum TV awards 2017. Lets have a few glimpses of “Super Stars ka Super Show”.

Maria Wasti and Adnan Siddiqui are both brilliant and very experienced actors of our Entertainment Industry. The duo working together, definitely guarantees some stellar results and we will be able observe this on our TV screens on this Eid in a telefilm they are starring in.

This telefilm features Maria Wasti in a comic role opposite to the talented Adnan Siddiqui in Geo TV’s special telefilm ‘Chalo Chalo Dubai Chalo’. The plot of the show is that a husband and wife (Maria and Adnan) want to leave Pakistan and settle in Dubai. The comedic elements start to appear when Maria Wasti’s character asks Adnan’s to buy her an Eid dress and a bag mix up occurs. The couple ends up getting a bag full of money, instead of one that contains the dress. As expected, gangsters start tracking them down as they try to leave the country with the money bag. The entire exchange is promised to be hilarious by Maria Wasti herself.

In the past, Maria has usually worked on dark, serious and bold roles. She shined through all of these roles and proved how good she is as an actress in all the characters she played. Adnan Siddiqui, however, is no stranger to comedic roles.

Though, comedic genre will be a new genre for Maria Wasti, we firmly believe that the talented actress will do a great job here too.

With the grand entry of social media, the world has become a global village and communication between individuals has never been easier. Using this medium, brilliant love stories are also born. Fans can easily follow their favourite celebrities on these networks and express their appreciation and love through their tweets, comments and messages. Sometimes while scrolling through all these comments, the celebrities end up responding to them.

It is to be noted that the incredible social media stories aren’t limited to only common people. Recently, the famous celebrity Zara Larsson expressed her love for Brian H Whittaker, a model, on Twitter by the following tweet:

They ended up becoming real friends and are reportedly dating now.

This successful love story inspired many twitter users to use the same pickup line including this Pakistani twitter user, who proposed to the cricketer Ahmad Shahzad.

So she tweeted to Shehzad, asking him “Who are you where do you live how old are you why are you so fine how do you like your eggs cooked in the morning?” Now, if you think something good happened after this tweet…you will be greatly disappointed as the cricket star ended up blocking the girl in response!

Her final tweet was “What did I do wrong?” which she later deleted.

This tweet shows that she probably wasn’t aware that Shahzad is a happily married man. The twitter world responded to this tweet like this:

Story of my life! I feel ya girl 😄

Zohaib Hassan is releasing an album which will feature his all time hits. The singer has collaborated with UK-based music director DJ Swami for the new project, who has previously worked with international artists like Apache Indian, Stereo Nation and Shania Twain. Imran ‘Immu’ Momina of Fuzon has also composed three tracks on Signature.

Zohaib said the album is a depiction of what he went through in the last 10 years.“The album revolves around my experiences and all that my family and I have experienced over the last 10 years or so.” he said.

Signature also has a special documentary showing Zohaib working in the studios. Some tracks of the album are also featured in a movie being made on Zohaib and Nazia’s lives. The film is currently under production.

We wish Signature and Zohaib all the luck!

Yalghaar is the most anticipated release this year. The film flaunts a huge cast including Shaan Shahid, Humayun Saeed, Bilal Ashraf, Adnan Siddiqui, Sana Bucha, Armeena Rana Khan, Ayesha Omer among others. The film came under some staring glances when the protagonist did not show up on neither the trailer launch nor the premier.

What followed were the speculations of a rift between Shaan and director Hassan Rana. The flame rose higher when Shaan commented on a post on facebook that he was just a guest star. If reviews are to be believed of those who attended the premier Shaan is still the protagonist but some of his scenes may have gotten cut.

Now Shaan is finally going to promote the movie. He has recorded an interview on Dunya News with Kamran Shahid. Director Dr. Hassan Waqar Rana and leading lady Sana Bucha are also joining him. The interview will air tonight. A screening of Yalghaar will also be held in Lahore and the actor may attend it too. Finally some good news for Yalghaar.

It was Hamza Ali Abbasi’s birthday yesterday and a good time to celebrate a man who has made a mark in more than just acting. A man who is too verbal for his own good and too opinionated for this diplomatic media business. Nonetheless, we need him and more like him to keep it real. To know that actors are not merely dolled up puppets, they are human beings who happen to be the in the profession of acting, and when they are not doing that, they are being themselves, they are talking about life and issues and politics and everything that comes in between. Hamza Ali Abbasi is certainly one of a kind. Not many would stick their necks in places that he does.

As he enters into the thirty fourth year of his life, let’s look back at his acting career, the controversies surrounding him and the things his peers say about him.

He started his journey with theatrical plays and got noticed by the makers of main hoon Shahid Afridi. Who would have thought that the short tempered Pathan in it would be so popular on screen one day. Later, it was Bilal Lashari’s waar that brought Hamza to light once again. After an year, he appeared in Humayun Saeed’s jawani phir nahi aani. That was the first time we got to know about Hamza  Ali Abassi’s straightforwardness when he openly denounced the movie due to its bold scenes and refused to take part in its promotions. The film, nonetheless was a success and made Hamza prominent to producers and directors.

On TV, Hamza has given some very powerful performances in Pyaraay Afzal and Mann Mayal. Later, we saw him in a supporting role in Ho Mann Jahan.

He wanted to make a directorial debut with his feature Kambakht but that did not happen due to the strong criticism against his political outbursts. Nonetheless, Hamza is still very active and verbal on social media and keeps a very strong presence in all genres of it. He is one of those people for whom you say, love him or hate him, you just cannot ignore Hamza Ali Abbasi or pretend he is one of the typical models or actors for whom everything is about keeping appearances. With Hamza, you get much more that good looks and husky voice; there is intellect, thoughtfulness, wit and humour.

He is also very well respected and appreciated among his peers, who speak of him as a very passionate friend who would go to any lengths for his near and dear ones.

Ayesha Khan was seen as the infamous “Jeena” with Hamza in “Mann Mayal”. Talking about him, she said ” for me he is the kindest, most caring, brave, down to Earth and loyal friend; definitely my best friend! He might not be there in the good times but always there during the bad ones.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVqRMT-DsKg/

Nadeem Baig is also one of his closest friends. He is very appreciative of Hamza’s big heart, “I’ve always admired Hamza. Not only as an actor, but also as a person. The stance that he took at AAJ News, I think it’s commendable, nobody has the guts to speak about tolerance.”

Gohar Rasheed and Hamza come a long way and he is all but praises for the birthday boy ,

“”If Hamza was a girl, I would have married him in a heart beat (laughs)! But bro good, bad, ugly whatever the situation is, I have always got your back. God bless you”.

So for all his controversial purposes and intents, we wish Hamza a very good life ahead and hope he is here to stay.. for keeping the screen sizzling with good looks and the social media on fire with his statements.

happy to you Hamza.. ???

Ayesha Omar posted snaps on Instagram from New York, as she reaches there for a promotional tour of her up-coming movie “Yalghaar”.Other cast members of the movie, Adnan Siddiqui and Sana Bucha were also seen along her.

“Yalghaar” is the most awaited Pakistani movie releasing this Eid-ul-Fitr. It is based on the true story of Pakistan Army’s Swat Operation. The release date of the movie in USA is June 30th.

ALL THE BEST PAKISTAN WOMEN’S CRICKET TEAM!

An year has passed since we lost legendary Amjad Sabri. He will remain in the hearts of millions and is an inspiration for many at the same time. Recently Sabri sisters rose to fame; you may have heard of them as nieces of Amjad Sabri. They were invited on Ittehad Ramzan transmission hosted by Shaista Lodhi for a special tribute to Amjad Sabri. What went ahead was extremely unexpected. Amjad Sabri’s sister called on show and talked to the executives and then she came herself to tell the world that Sabri sisters are not nieces of Amjad Sabri. Watch the debate which went ahead on this below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noeM-B6RnBY&feature=youtu.be

The girls also replied:

And then the Sabri sisters mother shared her views:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmf2M5WeTmY&feature=youtu.be

Are they right or are they exploiting Amjad Sabri’s name? You decide!

Mehrunisa V Lub U is the most awaited film to release this Eid-Ul-Fitr. The romantic comedy film by Yasir Nawaz stars Danish Taimoor and Sana Javed  as the lead roles. These two, along with other stars, graced us with their presence at the premier of ‘Mehrunisa V Lub U’ and looked pretty amazing. Have a look yourself:

Meera is no stranger to public attacks on social media for her lack of linguistic skills when it comes to English language.

The same happened when she uploaded a picture of herself reading the English newspaper ‘Dawn’ at Karachi airport. A discussion on twitter began about what she was reading considering how poor her English skills. Some people went as far as saying she was just looking at the pictures on the paper and not really reading it.

The incident or drama whatever you may call it is still fresh in our minds when a girl was insulted by Sahir Lodhi in his Ramadan transmission. The actor had given a very effective and emotional (according to him) speech. PEMRA had sent a notice to the channel on the whole controversy.

Latest development is PEMRA has directed the host to apologize to the nation in his show and it will be run on the screen that PEMRA has directed the host to do it.

There was a hearing held on the 5th of June, 2017 where it was decided that Sahir Lodhi was in violation of various clauses of PEMRA’s Electronic Media Code of Conduct 2015. In case the channel does not comply with the authority, legal action will be taken under section 29 and 30. Surely the stunt has caused Sahir more damage than he would have thought.

Who is the winner on television this Ramadan? Yes, GAME SHOWS! From Amir Liaquat, Fahad Mustafa to Sahir Lodhi everyone ventured into the genre. Even our sports stars Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhter are also running their game show this season.

As we all know Fahad’s show topped all the TRP Charts during Ramadan, Amir bhai was also giving Mercedes and planes on his show. So who won the race for being the most paid host? The answer is……………….!

Yes you guessed it right: Fahad Mustafa.

If reports are to be believed Fahad has claimed to be the most paid host of the season though he did not reveal his salary; followed by Amir Liaquat. With Jeeto Pakistan being the favourite show of the audience during Ramadan; this is not of much surprise. All in all it cannot be denied that game shows have become another genre on the television and if TRP’s are to be believed people are loving them.

When you talk about our industry’s boldest women, Nadia Khan is among the forerunners. If there is a go getter female in media, who speaks her mind and can tackle anyone head on, it is Nadia Khan. She is the pioneer of Pakistani morning shows and has run it successfully from Dubai and then Karachi. Her dynamic personality and lively demeaneor has inspired her audiences for years.

Recently, Nadia Khan had left morning show and and gave rise to many speculations as to what her next medium would be or that maybe she has left showbiz but she has put an end to all of that by explaining that she will be appearing on TV but as an actress.

So we will be seeing Nadia Khan in a TV play after a lapse of about 17 long years.

https://www.facebook.com/BehtareenPK/videos/vb.1014092505331803/1590016281072753/?type=2&theater

Here she is an interview with a video blogger, explaining that she has had enough of morning shows. They are a been there, done that territory for her and now she wants to venture back into acting because it’s scene is ON. She showed her disdain for morning shows that there is nothing new happening in them and nothing that requires any talent, so she is tired of the monotony of morning show game. She said she has also made sure that her producers have casted all the best actors for this drama. If there was a mismatched casting , she wouldn’t have done that. Though, the way she says here that she would not like halkay actors to work in the play where she is working… talk about putting your foot in your mouth.

Talking about social media, she said it has a very dark side it to, just like you wouldn’t know who is an abuser or a rapist among you in an open market,  you never know on social media as well. This is precisely the point of this drama as well. How families and users and abusers are affected by misuse of social networking is the context of her play. They have shooted for ten days already and her roles have been alongside Sami Khan and Saba Hameed.

She said she has had an offer of an Indian movie but she does not want to take part in it due to the controversial role offered to her in it.

Nadia Khan also has a YouTube channel which she mentions that she is working on to inform and empower the women of Pakistan. She says her vlogs are not about criticism of Pakistani media actors but about genuine reviews products of events.

She also clears the air about the rift between herself and Shaista Lodhi, saying that channels switch between them for increasing popularity but they have are good friends personally.

When asked about game shows, Nadia Khan candidly replied that she cannot make people eat watermelon and all the other game show stuff, so she would never host any of them.

Explaining her comeback experience of acting after 17 years, Nadia said that she feels like a child in Disneyland when she is on sets.

Now that is one excited actress. Hope the play is as enjoyable for the audience as it is for Nadia !!

Trailer of Na Maloom Afraad is out. The cast of the movie Fahad Mustafa, Mohsin Abbas Haider, Javed Sheikh attended the event alongside director Nabeel Qureshi and producer Fizza Ali Meerza. Mehwish Hayat and Sadaf Kanwal also attended the event. Marina Khan and Fahad’s wife Sana were also seen. Take a look at the pictures!

Syed Noor is returning to direction with Chain Aaye Na. The film stars Shahroze Sabzwari, Sarish Khan, Adil Murad, Mustafa Qureshi, Atiqa Odho, Nadeem and Behroze Sabzwari. Before giving an insight into the film, Noor said he was going to bring back dignified films to the screen. Chain Aaye Na’s trailer is out and IT IS SHOCKING! Have a look!

The film claims to be a love story and whether it is what it claims to be or not, only will become clear after its release. The film is set to release on July 21. They need to hire a better editor too as the trailer is very disconnected. Share your thoughts on the trailer!

Khalil u Rehman Qamar is once again weaving magic on the screen with his new serial Tau dil ka kya hua. This much anticipated Hum Tv serial boasts a star cast including Ayeza Khan, Zahid Ahmed, Sami Khan and Marsha Pasha.

The play is brought forth by Momina Duraid, Samina Humayun Saeed and Sana Shahnawz and deals with a very interesting story of marriage, extra marital affairs, divorce, love and betrayal.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVfkPX5hqhO/?taken-by=sanashahnawaz

Sana Shahnawaz is all praises for her play, saying that once she read the script, she was hooked and couldn’t wait to move on to the next episode and she believes it will have the same effect on audiences.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVfnkgHBgtg/?taken-by=sanashahnawaz

From what we gather from the promos, it looks as if Ayeza Khan has cheated on her husband Sami Khan by getting involved with Zahid Ahmed and the betrayed husband then decides to take revenge and Mansha Pasha seems to be the beneficiary of this marital conflict.. But let’s not jump to conclusions and wait for the drama to air to clarify how black and how white these characters are on reel.

Muhammad Amir got married last year with his British born and bred but originally Pakistani wife, Narjis. They met in England during the period he was banned from cricket, fell in love and tied the knot with their families’ blessings.

The young and energetic couple loves taking pictures together and post them proudly at various social media sites, where there are both very active.

Here are some of their best moments together ;
