The premiere of Lazawal Ishq, touted as Pakistan’s first reality TV dating show, has triggered significant public backlash following the release of its first episode. Hosted by actress Ayesha Omar and filmed at a villa in Turkey, the show features eight Pakistani contestants (four girls and four boys) living under one roof in a quest to find “forever love.”
The first episode, released on the show’s dedicated YouTube channel, has garnered over 128,000 views, with host Ayesha Omar introducing the contestants and facilitating initial interactions where participants shared preferences and expressed mutual likeness.
Severe Public Criticism on YouTube
Despite the high viewership, the episode is facing severe criticism on YouTube. The main point of contention for many Pakistani viewers is the show’s format, specifically the premise of unmarried girls and boys sharing a living space. The comments section reflects strong disapproval, with viewers using harsh language to criticize and call for a boycott of the program. Representative comments include: “Such a creep show! Waste of money, waste of 10 mins I spent on skipping the show.” Another wrote”It felt very bad watching this. May Allah forgive such people and guide them towards the right path.” One said, “I have reported it successfully, now it’s your turn.” One requested, “Please boycott this cheap program.” Many commenters have openly cursed the show and its makers, emphasizing the depth of public offense taken by the format.
Adnan Siddiqui, the host of the hit Pakistani reality show ‘Tamasha,’ recently appeared on Nida Yasir’s ‘Good Morning Pakistan’ where he revealed the story of how he landed the hosting gig. ‘Tamasha,’ which airs yearly on ARY Digital, has become one of Pakistan’s biggest reality television productions since it launched in 2022. The fourth season is currently wrapping up after a positive public reception.
During the morning show, Siddiqui opened up about the initial offer to host the ARY Digital production:
“I grabbed the opportunity when it was offered to me. I was in London at the time, doing a fundraiser, when I received a call from the makers who offered me ‘Tamasha.’ I told them that people would compare it with ‘Bigg Boss.’ They said the comparison might be drawn, but we would do it in our own way.”
Siddiqui addressed the frequent comparison to the popular Indian reality show, stating that while the formats are similar, ‘Tamasha’ has its own identity. “There is no real comparison — theirs is a big, mega show with its own identity. They’ve been running it successfully for 19 years, while we are now on our fourth season. Yes, it’s the same franchise: some call it ‘Big Brother,’ some call it ‘Bigg Boss,’ and we call it ‘Tamasha.'”

Pakistani showbiz veteran Sadia Imam, known for dominating dramas for three decades and once holding the title of the highest-paid actress, has recently opened up about her career on the show Gup Shab. The actress, who famously stepped away from acting at her peak to focus on motherhood, still makes appearances and offers engaging drama reviews. During her interview, Sadia Imam revealed a major, famous character she was recently offered—a role that would have marked her return to the acting front in a big way.

Parwarish was a recently released drama that won hearts left, right and center. Fans of all age groups were able to connect with the story. Sadia Imam has now revealed that she was actually offered a character in the drama but she did not do it as she is not pursuing acting due to her daughter’s busy schedule.
Appearing on the show Gup Shab, the star confirmed she was approached to play the character of Panna. This role, which later went to the talented Saman Ansari, was a highly acclaimed character, recognized for its positive portrayal of a well-rounded, influential mother whose life lessons resonated deeply with audiences. Sadia Imam, who famously left acting at the peak of her career to dedicate time to her daughter, explained that seeing such strong roles come to life makes her miss acting. She admitted that witnessing the success of characters she had been offered, like Panna, brings on a sense of nostalgia for her time in the spotlight.
Saima Qureshi, a well-known figure on Pakistani television for decades, is currently making headlines for remarks that have gone viral across social media. The actress, who famously raised her three sons as a single mother, has often spoken publicly about the difficulties of divorce and single parenthood. However, her recent appearances have stirred up significant debate. Qureshi’s controversial opinions regarding women’s financial independence and men’s right to a second marriage have circulated widely, igniting strong reactions and major backlash online.
Veteran actress Saima Qureshi is once again making waves after her recent appearance on the FHM podcast, where she revisited her past controversial statements and shared her deeper insights on current social issues. Having gone through a divorce herself, the actress offered a personal perspective on the worrying increase in divorce rates today. Saima Qureshi candidly discussed what she believes the older generation needs to change or understand to help make future marriages smoother and more successful. She argues that adjusting long-held views is key to supporting younger couples.
Saima Qureshi has now stated that a girl’s mother needs to calm down after her daughter’s marriage. Do not overpamper or support her when she has to face something in her marriage. She added that, do stand by her side, if she is getting abused or facing violence but if she has issues with her in-laws, just sit down. Do not just encourage your daughters to come back if they are having issues with their in-laws.
Hania Aamir is soaring high! After captivating international audiences, including a notable performance in India’s Sardaar Ji 3, the Pakistani superstar is now taking Bangladesh by storm. The global favorite recently flew to Dhaka for an advertisement shoot, but her visit quickly turned into a delightful cultural experience. Hania didn’t just work—she spent time with popular Bangladeshi artist Iftekhar Rafsan, visiting his home and enthusiastically trying out authentic Bangla food. Always the picture of happiness and humility, Hania Aamir shared her appreciation for the warm Bangladeshi hospitality she and her friends received.
Hania Aamir was her bubbly self as she tried the rice, shami kabab and fish at Rafsan’s home. She also spoke to his mother and she tried to make them all feel comfortable around her. This was a sweet interaction and the Vlog is receiving love from both the countries.
Here is the Vlog:
The internet is happy and Bangladeshi fans are sending love to Hania Aamir. One fan wrote, “Hania was so humble in the video.” Another added, “I wish I could hug you.” One said, “Happy how Rafsan introduced Bangladeshi culture and food to Hania.” Here is the reaction:
Biryani is the new drama everyone’s talking about, and it’s not just for the reunion of Duniyapur’s beloved duo, Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan. Seven years after stepping away from mainstream TV for films and OTT projects, Sarwat Gilani makes a triumphant return as Gul Mehar. Her character in the Zafar Mairaj-written, Badar Mehmood-directed show has immediately captivated audiences. Early theories about Gul Mehar have been circulating non-stop, and as new episodes drop, it seems all the speculation is finally being confirmed!
Biryani threw a boomerang at the audinece who were loving Meran and Nisa’s cute relationship. Meran is actually married to Gul Mehar. This has shed light on an age-old custom of forced marriages which is still followed in many areas of Pakistan. Meran married Gul Mehar who was older than him due to family pressure and now he is in love with a girl his age.
This is how the truth came out:
The internet is loving the twist in Biryani but also calling out big loopholes. According to the story narrated by Gul Mehar, she is around 39 and Meran is just 4 years younger than her which means he should be at least 35. A 35 year old trying to romance a college student like Nisa is not going down well with fans:
A majority of Biryani fans are also sympathizing with Nisa and Gul Mehar. One fan wrote, “Meran was already married. He deceived Nisa when he did not tell her about his relationship status.” Another added, “Nisa is not in a committed relationship right now. The real victim here is Gul Mehar.” One said, “According to the story, Meran was old enough when he married Gul Mehar and now he is trying to convince Nisa for a second marriage.” Here is the reaction:
Senior Pakistani Stars Shining in Dramas Currently- Pakistani dramas have always been praised for their realistic storylines and top-notch performances. From the golden era of PTV to the digital times of YouTube, these dramas have always been appreciated both locally and internationally. Pakistan has produced great talent in acting. Many of our senior actors can jolt the audience with their performances. A dilemma was noticed when meaty roles were not being written for the senior stars.
Lately, we are seeing stories with well-etched-out and meatier rules for our senior stars, and they are outshining the younger lot by miles. Here are the senior Pakistani stars who are currently shining in dramas and showing the world their capabilities:
Saima Noor
Saima Noor is a huge Pakistani star. She is the last of the real film stars in the country. She has worked in both Urdu and Punjabi cinema. She also worked in several television dramas, but lately, fans have not seen her in any projects. As soon as the teasers for Main Manto Nahi Hoon dropped, fans started anticipating her comeback, and she has not disappointed. Saima Noor’s unmatched aura, the way she has justified every poetic line she has spoken to a comeback of her iconic Dil Diyan Lagiyan Nu Kaun Jaan Da, Saima has been the protagonist of Main Manto Nahi Hoon through and through. Her strong comeback is a testament to her talent and shows the world how we need to use our legendary actors correctly in the scripts. As per the audience, she is the real “hero” of Main Manto Nahi Hoon, and fans look forward to her every scene.
Babar Ali
Babar Ali is another Pakistani star who started his career at the age of 17 with television and later transitioned towards films. He moved towards television, and he has been playing father characters since then. Babar Ali was known for his ability to perform equally well in both hero and villain roles in his films, but has been limited to similar characters on television. Currently, he is playing Binyamin in Main Manto Nahi Hoon, and we finally got to see him in a different role. He is a gangster feared by the whole city. His voice control, the gangster aura, and finally playing a father who has more going on than just worrying about his daughter’s marriage was a treat to watch for his fans.
Asif Raza Mir
Asif Raza Mir is a Pakistani star and a powerhouse of talent. He became a heartthrob when he played the character of Zain in Ankahi. The actor has been winning hearts for four decades now. He does not work on too many scripts now, as he is not excited by the stories being offered. He was recently seen in Meem Se Moabbat, but his stint as Siraj Amritsari in Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a big hit. Asif Raza Mir has played the role of educated yet ruthless gangster to perfection. He is a gangster, but he is also a loving father and a guilty brother. He has managed to handle the dichotomy fabulously.
Saba Hameed
Saba Hameed is a big name among Pakistani stars. She has worked in theatre, dramas and films. She is also a successful director, and she always dominates the screens. The star showed her dominance last year when she appeared as Noor Jahan in the drama of the same name. She is currently playing Khadija Binyamin in Main Manto Nahi Hoon. She is playing her part well, and she overshadowed her co-stars, like Babar Ali and Asif Raza Mir, in the recent episodes as she cries for revenge.
Saba Faisal
Saba Faisal has been among the most popular senior Pakistani stars. She is among the only senior artists who could learn how to navigate social media and connect with Gen Z. She is also a powerful performer who pays attention to details. She has once again shown her talent as she plays Naseeba in Main Manto Nahi Hoon. She has scenes with powerful actors like Asif Raza Mir, Salman Shahid, and Saima Noor, and she was still noticed despite an ensemble and powerful cast.
Arshad Mehmood
Arshad Mehmood is a senior Pakistani actor and musician. He is a legend of the PTV era. He recently made his comeback in acting. Fans loved him as he played Roshi’s grandfather in Meem Se Mohabbat, but his stint as Daada in Parwarish was a hit with fans. He portrayed how a man from the older generation can move forward with the times and learn to live with the younger generation and their ideas. It is great to see him back in dramas, and we are once again watching another massive talent on our screens.
Faisal Rehman
Faisal Rehman is a Pakistani star who worked in films and later worked on television. He is one of the actors who knows how to bring romance on screen. His natural dialogue delivery and charm that he brings to his characters are outstanding. He was always a heartthrob, but he was taking a break from actively working on screens. He was seen in Qarz e Jaan as Asim, and it once again made the audience and producers realise how important it is to keep utilising our older and outstanding stars.
Tauseeq Haider
Tauseeq Haider is a Pakistani anchor and RJ who has been in the industry for four decades now. He has interviewed all the big names of Pakistan. He made his acting debut in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum as Sharjeena’s father, and he has not looked back since. He has been doing some great projects, and he is impressing everyone. Even with smaller roles in dramas like Jafaa, Duniyapur and Behroopia, he made his presence felt.
Laila Wasti
Laila Wasti is a talented Pakistani star. She comes from a very talented family, and she has made a mark for herself in the field. She is known not just for her beauty but also for her soft-spoken style of conversation. The actress has been working in many dramas, but recently we saw her in Dastak in a character that gave so many positive messages. She was a girl’s girl and a symbol of women’s empowerment. The way she performed her role made her a fan favourite, and she was able to send across messages on how a mother-in-law can be positive and supportive.
Mehmood Aslam
Mehmood Aslam is a Pakistani star par excellence. The range he has portrayed in his decades-long career is unmatched. His strong voice and his ability to perform a character of a bitter jageerdar and at the same time Mehmood from Bulbulay show what he is made of.

Jawad Ahmed is a famous Pakistani pop and Bhangra singer as well as a politician, known for his hit songs like Bin Tere, Oh Kehndi Ae Sayyan, Mehendi, Uchia Majaajan Wali, and many others. He is also very popular because of his controversial political views. Nowadays, Jawad Ahmed is away from music as he is focusing on his political party, Barabri Party, but he often gives interviews where he talks about music, musicians, and his colleagues.
Recently, Jawad Ahmed appeared in an interview with RNN News, hosted by Maryam Imam, where he criticized late Pakistani singer Junaid Jamshed’s decision to leave music for Islam.
Talking about it, Jawad Ahmed said, “Junaid Jamshed’s most popular song was Dil Dil Pakistan, which was headed by Shoaib Mansoor. They were among the first to appear on TV like pop stars. He earned crores from that song, and had it been released today, he would have earned billions. All of a sudden, he changed track, left music, and became a tableeghi. You all know how orthodox the tableeghi jamaats and Islamic groups are. Now, coming to the main point—not only did he leave music, but he also held a press conference announcing that he was leaving music because it is haram (forbidden in Islam), and he wanted all his friends to leave it too. One of our producer friends, Mohsin Jaffar from PTV, asked him, ‘You have earned your entire life from music, built properties, and even opened the clothing business J. from music money, and now you are saying it is haram?’ Junaid was speechless. His face turned red, he got angry and said that he had taken a fatwa stating that once you repent, it becomes halal. Now people call him a hero because he left music, but at the same time, they still listen to his songs which can be sinful for Junaid Jamshed. So, one should not be so rigid with religious beliefs. Religion should be kept personal. In this country, it is already difficult to pursue music with respect.” Here is the link to the video:

Believe me, I didn’t see her crying on her father’s death, she was patient, she said he belonged to Allah and he has returned to him. I didn’t see her madly crying. I was even hesitant regarding celebrating Eid after her father’s death. I said to her, ‘I am making Eid clothes, if you want, you can wear’, to which she replied, ‘My father has gone back to Allah, but it’s Huzaifa’s first Eid.

In April 2025, the Pahalgam hill station in Indian-Occupied Kashmir was attacked, resulting in multiple casualties. It was a false flag operation by India, after which it accused Pakistan of carrying out an insurgency on its territory.

His intense characters and aggressive roles have put him on the map and his fans love to watch him in a certain manner. Lately, there has been a strong debate about how he is being typecast and his range as an actor is not explored at all.
Danish Taimoor also came under a lot of criticism for his last project Mann Mast Malang. The drama had many bold scenes and the public was not a fan of how Danish said yes to such a project. Now, an old scene from a drama has come out and it is going viral on social media. Apparently, the scene was filmed in 2008 with Danish Taimoor and Jia Ali in some bold characters. Some think the drama was named Pukaar while others think it is Band Khirkiyon Ke Peechay. The internet’s mind is blown after watching this and everyone is questioning how it even aired on the Pakistani television.
The internet has a lot to say after watching Danish Taimoor in such a bold character. One person wrote, “Means Danish has been doing this with women on screen since forever.” Another added, “God, this is cringe.” One said, “And he does not allow his wife to wear revealing clothes.” This was the reaction:

All the actors are giving their hundred percent and each week a new actor manages to shine. With the latest development, Mikaal Hazrat has lost his father while he knows the fiance he loves with all his heart is not in love with him. He is still a very positive character and he is trying to provide justice for everyone he is around.
Mikaal Hazrat is the new heartthrob as people are in love with him. His positivity amongst a bunch of gangsters and goons is what is attracting viewers. Main Manto Nahi Hoon is moving towards its climax and all the characters are slowly showing their true colours.

Momina Iqbal is right now among the most loved stars of the Pakistani drama industry. She has given back to back hits and she has been able to show her mettle in every project. She is currently reigning with Do Kinaray where she won hearts as Dureshehwar. The actress is always loved for her beauty and the way she performs on screen with sincerity. She was a guest on Green Prime and spoke on several topics.
Momina Iqbal revealed her opinion about working in Bollywood. Many of our stars have worked there with Mahira Khan making her debut opposite Shahrukh Khan. There is always a boost in your popularity once you work in India or internationally. Momina, however, has a very different outlook.
Momina Iqbal shared that she has no plans to work in Bollywood. She said that if she can just justify her work in her own industry, that is enough. She does not have any dreams about going to work across the border. She said she has no ambitions for Bollywood and she is happy here. She added she will not want to work even opposite SRK. She wants the love of her own people over validation from abroad.
Do Kinaray is a drama that took the audience by storm. Fans were loving it and it has garnered over 3 million views per episode despite getting dragged. The show has been a success due to its fashionable villain Dureshehwar played by Momina Iqbal. She has done a fantastic job and the audience just fell in love with her despite her playing a very toxic character.
Do Kinaray is heading towards its end. Momina Iqbal sat for an interview with Green Prime and shared her thoughts about the upcoming ending. The actress shared that she thinks Dureshehwar can be forgiven. Men always get second chances. It is always about women when people advocate against second chances. She added that in the track with Shaheer, Dureshehwar was a victim as he was the one who manipulated her.
This is what she said:
Momina Iqbal also revealed that she does not give a lot of interviews as she is a blunt person. She will say what is on her mind and she generally avoids doing that. She added that she has also seen how people will cut off her statements and try to portray them in their own way. One then has to clarify them which she is not fond of. She added that she always speaks the truth thus she avoids interviews.
Here is what she said:
Momina Iqbal also revealed that Dureshehwar was a dark character. She therefore, added dialogues and made her seem a bit lighter. Like her track with Dua and how Dua died was very dark. She purposely added lines like “she only had a short destined life” to make the situation less dark.
Listen to what she revealed:
Momina Iqbal remained tight lipped about the ending of Do Kinaray but left an intriguing value:

Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama full of twists and turns. The show is about two rival families and their crimes in addition to a meek character of Sir Manto who has a lot of mystery around him. The characters are reaching their zenith while new characters are dying one after the other. Shamraiz accidently killed Hammad while Farahd is still alive. Treaty is not in force anymore and animosity is back again.
Meanwhile Mehmal remains the most annoying character in the show. She is still dragging Hazrat, loving Manto and she is doing illogical stuff. From worrying about Faals for Manto to carrying a gun in university premises, she has done all things wrong.

What lesson is being taught here?” One said, “She is a Tiktoker type. Engaged to one, loving another and may get married to the third.” Here is the reaction:
