India Pakistan cricket rivalry is so world famous that it has become a phenomenon in itself. Wikipedia has one of the longest pages dedicated to it. While being on the losing side brings extreme humiliation and bucketfuls of anday tamatar, winning brings with it a tremendous amount of appreciation which is almost godly in its intensity. Today, however we are lucky to talk about the latter only.

The mauka mauka campaign was started in 2015, when India made an ad to mock Pakistan, pointing out that Pakistan had lost last six matches played against India. These words then became an entity of their own to taunt the losing team meaning that they lost their mauka or chance for winning, and will spend ages looking for the next mauka now.

After hearing our share of the very iconic mauka mauka for a long time, Pakistan finally had the sweet taste of a well deserved victory, beating India fair and square by 180 solid runs.

Hooray ???

Today our day has come.. our era has begun and Pakistani cricket fans have swarmed the team captain Sarfraz’s house and pulled him into their spirits of singing mauka mauka with them.. and as we all know, Sarfraz dhoka nai day ha, so he sings alongwith his fans because this is his mauka, so why not ??

Shoaib Akhtar replies to Indians with as much of sensibility as one could muster and the Indians are all praises for the humbleness he portrayed in a live show. Advising Indians to keep a cool head and not to fret over the lost match, Shoaib Akhtar also asked them not to take anyone lightly or talk ill of them beforehand.

” I congratulate the Indian team for qualifying the finals. It is a great achievement that India qualified and there is no need to talk ill of them. As a Pakistani, I request you to pat your team instead of cursing them”

Shoaib Akhtar’s reply is an epitome of sensibility and humbleness. Through his humble words, he gave a huge message to all, a message that emphasized the fact that winning or losing does not matter but what does matter is how you act in the circumstances afterwards.

Here is what Shoaib Akhtar said in his interview to an Indian channel , in a live show along with the famous former cricket player Gutam Ghambir.

It has been a very lucky day for us Pakistani. Watching the players fighting the battle hard on the ground and then finally reaching out for the trophy, makes you proud of the team.A great success it has been that answered all the questions raised against our worthy players and by that , I mean literally all the questions even those raised against them not understanding English.

Hassan Ali ,a man who played tremendously well throughout the tournament ,did not at any point,  find shame in accepting the fact that he had weak English. Taking an interpreter along with him and speaking in his own language , he gave the message that pure talent is all you need to get you through, making us all proud!

Sohai Ali Abro has been brilliant in all her performances and made a name for herself as one of the boldest actresses of this time.

After her success through Jawani Phir Nahi Aani, she is all set to appear in Faheem Burni’s Love,London,Sialkot.

Sohai And Faheem Burni have a history together with tumhari Natasha, Khoya Khoya Chand and more recently, Aadhi Gawahi and the directors had nothing but praises for the talented damsel. He said that he and Sohai have an understanding which makes working together pleasurable for both of them. He said that she is made to act in films, so she was a natural choice during casting and he had decided on her being the female lead of his movie long before casting began. He appreciated her dedication that she puts her whole heart and soul into her projects.

Talking about the movie, Fahim Burni explained that it is a family comedy and portrays cultural shock in a very light hearted way. He wanted to venture away from terrorism and seriousness of Pakistani movies and show our nation as cultured and well mannered. So, the movie will focus on two people from totally different cultures falling in love and navigating their way through their cultural differences along with their families.

Pakistan has been trolled time and time again by India with their viral ad Mauka Mauka. The ad showed a Pakistani guy who was trying to celebrate with fireworks during Pakistan India matches. But the guy never gets a chance to do so.

Finally with the historic win of Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final against India; it is time to pay back with some tissues. Take a look at the epic reply of Pakistan. Jazz has really nailed this one:

Thankyou B town… we Pakistanis humbly receive your congratulations ???

One of the most selfless human relations is between a father and his kids. It has always been this way and will remain so. However, this new era has brought forward a generation of fathers who are not only working hard for their kids’ futures but also making an effort to be part of their present, who are dads cum friends to their children.

This Father’s Day, we look at some modern star dads of our industry and their most genuine fatherhood moments that could not escape the camera.

Shahid Afridi has always been very proud of his four gorgeous girls and has been caught many times cuddling and cherishing them.

Fawad Khan has always been a one woman man. This alone shows how much he values his little boy, Ayaan Khan and his princess Elayna Khan. Here are a few pictures of the most handsome man around being a doting daddy.

Danish Taimoor has always been verbal about how protective and sensitive he is about his little Hoorain and makes sure she never misses out on attention, despite having two working parents.

Fahad Mustafa has also been showing off his kids with the pride of a loving dad.

Shehroz Sabzwari with his lively little boy grin would get cheers from all fathers on this photo, by balancing babysitting and gaming while Syra is away.

Iqrar ul Hassan has always been an out of the box thinker and he is raising his son Pehlaaj to do the same. He says I want to be his friend first and then his guide, not just an authoritative figure to be feared.

Now, this picture of Mohib Mirza playing with Meissa is bound to give you fatherhood goals.

Waseem Akram has been both a mother and father to his kids after he lost his wife . And now that he has got his only daughter,he has all the license to spoil his princess.

Fahad Mirza has always been a hands on father and he says spending time with his little one brings him the most pleasure in his otherwise hectic day.

Yasir Nawaz has tried his hand at all forms of art and entertainment and been successful in them through his hard work. Fatherhood, however, comes naturally to him. Here is him with Fareed, Sila and Balaaj.

The youngest dad around, Azaan Sami Khan is also very involved with his little ones.

Here is one of Faisal Qureshi with his youngest princess.

And lastly, Mikaal Zulfiqar, who despite being divorced tries to be a constant loving presence in his daughters’ Rania and Elaina’s lives, surprising them by showing up around them frequently.

Hope you enjoyed seeing your favourite on screen men as daddies and babas to their little ones. And a very very happy Father’s Day to all you daddies as well.. stay blessed and keep up the hard work.

No one can deny the role of fathers in building us into who we are. And as one becomes a high achievers, it is natural to remember the person who inspired them to be one throughout childhood.

As we know, celebrity life is all about appointments, commitment and appearances, so it does not leave them much time to reflect about who and what matters the most in their lives. This Father’s Day, however, they all remember and celebrate the one man who is behind it all. The one man whose encouragement made them the stars they are today.. their fathers.

Naveen Waqar has always held her head high amidst the controversies surrounding her. She attributes this to her father; “my father always taught me to dive in and not care about what the other people think as they don’t matter,I matter. He always taught me to believe in myself.”

Nadia Jamil had always been a fighter and a woman of substance. She below herself to be a daddy’s girl forever and says that “abba was my first teacher along with Ami, he read Sufi poetry, quantum physics and philosophy to us. He always had time to talk, cuddle, share and wrestle. His relationship with Allah and the universe, his love for animals, learning, reading and books, his gentle way of speaking, his sense of humour are all inspirations for me.”

She further added that her her father has written a book on his life that she wants to edit and publish.

Mehreen Raheel is a versatile actress who speaks her mind. Talking about her dad, she said,  “My Abu is my hero and my best friend. His sense of humor, his ability to love, protect, forgive and our meaningful conversations hold a very special place in my heart. The fact that he is always there for me and understands me without judging me with his unmovable faith in Allah and looking at the best in everything, touches me deeply.”

Sadia Khan also celebrated her father’s role in her life with touching words, “I count my father as my biggest blessing as he is my strength as well as my mentor especially when I lost my mother; I was in a bad state as I felt like I wouldn’t be able to survive. Now when I think of him I can’t even measure his greatness towards me as what I am today is only because of him. May Allah bless him today and always.”

Fia Khan speaks about her father’s role in shaping her personality and ethos. She said,

“My father is my everything. He has been my first love and best friend. He is someone I could always turn to no matter what kind of mistake I make and there were always two things which he said which I can never forget even today. Firstly any relationship which harms your mental and physical health is to get rid of immediately and secondly anything that happens happens exactly as you have thought it out to be so if you think of positive thoughts then positive things do happen. I just love him for living his life and showing us how to live it too.”

We loved these girls’ respect and fondness for their fathers. Truly, each and every daughter is a princess of her father’s heart.

The never-ending war between India and Pakistan continues and after Zaid Ali, Sheikh Rasheed , and Amir Liaqat, Fahad Mustafa speaks up.

Fahad, in his show Jeeto Pakistan, targeted the tweets coming from the Bollywood’s veteran actor, Rishi Kapoor, asking him not to do what is unexpected of him. Being a respectable celebrity , he should be careful not to hurt those who admire him as an artist. Winning and losing is in the hands of fate but staying calm and level-headed is in our own hands. He, furthermore, advised players from both the countries to act sensible and to give the message of peace to the world.

He added that the day of the final match will prove the winner and who will cry consequently.Until then, everyone should keep a cool head and act sensible.

After Hamza Abbasi , Sanam Baloch speaks out , responding to all those who have been making fun of Sarfraz’s English lately.

“Our cricketers neither go their to teach English nor to learn it. They are there to play cricket. The management officials should keep translators in order to facilitate all those who cannot speak or understand English since it is not their native language”

These were her words to all the haters who ridiculed Sarfraz for his “not so cool” English. She also mentioned how it is unwise and unfair to judge anyone on the basis of language and that had she been there in his place, she would have replied in Urdu instead.

“Amjad Sabri is not dead. He is among us, listening to us. People like him don’t pass away. Those who kill them die.”

These were the words of the culture minister Syed Sardar Shah in the event organised in the memory of late Amjad Sabri. Sabri’s family including his brothers and children enthusiastically participated in the event which was initailly scheduled to held on 22nd June but was held early .The show started with M. Wasi Nizami. It also included the wonderful performances by  Farid Ayaz and Abu Muhammad who also shed light on the life of Amjad Sabri.

Mr Shah also announced the making of a qawali Institute in the name of Amjad Sabri ,in Sindh as a tribute to him and his family. He briefed everyone about Billawal Bhutto Zardari’s meeting with the Sabri family in which he had already promised the making of an institute that will train the young qawals. Mr shah said that the Institute has already been made and will officially start in August.

Amjad Sabri’s heart-wrenching death a year ago shocked all his fans but Legends like him never die  and the Amajd Sabri Institute is indeed an example that will keep him alive in our hearts forever.

Time is here for the Clash of the Titans. Pakistan will play final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 with India today. The temperatures are rising from few days with multiple people from both sides of the border killing each other with their dagger-like tweets. Pakistan is a dark horse of the tournament no doubt as no one was expecting the team to rise so high after the first match. But we have reach the FINALS! Hopes are high and prayers are in order. Shoaib Akhter also has a special message for the team. Here is what he said:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qCnyCJSP6A

We are praying for you team. Take Shoaib’s advice in consideration too and play hard. GO GREEN!

After Aik thi Mariyum talented Sanam Baloch is coming back to our screens with ARY Digital’s Teri Raza. Sanam has always managrd to mesmerize us be it Daastan, Kankar, Daam or Dur e Shehwar. She is hosting morning shows for some years now and not taking up many acting projects.But she is back with a bang. Take a look:

The drama also stars Sarmad Khoosat and Shehroze Sabzwari in main roles. This is definitely a good news for Sanam Baloch’s fans. Will Teri Raza prove to be another blockbuster? Only time will tell. Till then watch Sanam magically whirling her gown in the promo.

Love him or Hate him but you have to accept he is SAVAGE. Yes our very own Amir Bhai. We all remember the days when we first saw him as an extremely innocent host in Aalim Online. He started Ramadan transmissions, was accused of backing conspiracies when he was president of Neela Peela as he puts it (samajh to aap gaye honge!), hosted game shows, made people eat mangoes in most non-artistic ways and slammed Fahad Mustafa though now he loves him. 

He has done it all. Lesson from all this recap: YOU DONOT DARE TO CROSS AMIR BHAI kyunki Aise nahin chalega! As Rishi Kapoor is on a rant against Pakistan these days he tweeted all the trash in the world and directed it towards Pakistan. One of his many non-hilarious tweets is:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-lang=”en”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>PCB. Cricket team bhejna please.Earlier Hockey ya Kho Kho team bhejin thin. Kyon ki 18th June(Fathers Day) Baap khel raha tumhare saath lol!</p>&mdash; Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) <a href=”https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/875424104458862592″>June 15, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

No worries Amir Bhai is there to answer and he proved again ke Aise nahin chalega:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-lang=”en”><p lang=”hi” dir=”ltr”><a href=”https://twitter.com/chintskap”>@chintskap</a> <br><br>Pehle Haraya Tha &quot;Goroun&quot; Ko<br>Ab Harayenge &quot;Hram Khoro&quot; Ko<br><br>Paap, Baap Nahin Hota Kapoorey!!!</p>&mdash; Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) <a href=”https://twitter.com/AamirLiaquat/status/875496114094395392″>June 15, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Yes as always he went overboard but don’t blame him this time Kapoor sahab was really asking for it!

Yalghaar is giving us a new reason everyday to look forward to the most expensive, mega star studded movie of the year. Packed with versatile veterans like Humayun Saeed, Ayub Khoso, Shaan and Adnan Siddiqui to our military hero Ashir Azeem to the relatively new talents like Bilal Ashraf, Sikandar Rizvi and Gohar Rasheed, Yalghaar is the most anticipated Pakistani movie at the moment, which is going to release in sixty countries in eight different languages…

Wow… talking about a silver screen giant. But this is not all. Yalghaar is also the first Pakistani action to release its own live action game. Teen Bahadur was the first animated movie who had released its game from Pakistan.

The game after the movie’s name is available on google store and boasts impressive graphics and engaging graphics. Here, have a look..

Mahira Khan and Saba Qamar are no doubt the biggest female celebrities in Pakistan right now. Naturally they are compared time and time again be it an award show or their projects. As Hindi Medium just released and is running successfully at the box office earning over 100 crores now; Saba has become the second Pakistani actress to join the 100 crore club; first being Mahira with Raees. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times Saba went to say: “Even Hindustan Times and Pinkvilla have compared me to Mahira Khan and given a verdict that my performance is far better than hers in Raees.”

When Mahira was asked by Instep about the so-called feud between the two stars she said:

“I think I’m the only actor who gets compared to everybody and I fail to understand why. That said, I’m a huge supporter of Saba Qamar. I’m a fan and I want her to do well, I am rooting for her, If people find it cool to bring me down, go ahead if it rocks your boat. Sometimes it does get a little hurtful and at times I just wish to be left alone, but as far as I’m concerned, I wish everybody well from the bottom of my heart and I think Saba, of all the people knows this better than anyone.”

Feud or no feud Pakistanis are proud of both the beauties for making the country proud with their talent and presenting themselves as respectable ambassadors of Pakistan. You go girls!

Seeing Rishi Kapoor as Younginder Vashish in Student of the Year, one could imagine how versatile of an actor Rishi Kapoor is but who knew that Rishi jee has similar impacts on his real life as well?

Rishi Kapoor has been targeting the Pakistan cricket team since the ICC champions Trophy tournament started. Some of the tweets were so shocking that they took his Pakistani fans by shock and they starting responding to him with a fair amount of hatred.

And then came out this video that explains the tweets fair enough and it is going viral. Ranbir Kapoor, upon asked about his father using tweeter, says it all. He explains that the reason Rishi Kapoor talks trash is mainly because he gets heavily drunk after 10:30 and that he has a lot to say ( that we can clearly see in his tweets: Rishi Kapoor Tweets)

Well now we know why Rishi Kapoor has been tweeting so often these days.Thanks to Ranbir and as for Rishi jee, we hope he does not drink too much in the final.

After the terrific performance of the greens in the semifinals, they are all set to play the final of ICC Champions Trophy. The nail-biting match will be held against India and the final battle will decide the winner of the champion’s trophy.

The match has already gotten a fire kindled between both the countries and the tweets from veteran actors like Rishi Kapoor acted as the fuel to the fire. Pakistani supporters also coming to the support of their team, stormed at the Indians

The on-going battle between Pakistan and India is no match for the upcoming battle in the cricket ground which will declare the clear winner. The fans from both the countries have their hopes high. The final match between two rivals although, will be a treat to watch but will be filled with tension at the same time.

The players from both the countries are preparing well for the match. The fast bowler Hassan Ali from Pakistan stated that he wants to celebrate the final win with zeal. Such confidence will be a much needed factor that will take us closer to winning. The team is also confident of Muhammad Amir’s full recovery before the match.

The final battle will begin tomorrow at 2:30 pm which will decide who will be blued and who will be greened. Both the teams are all set to strike while their supporters chant in their support.

Salman Khan’s latest movie that revolves around the 1962 Sino-Indian war will be releasing on Eid ul Fitar all over the globe. Pakistan, however, has shown reluctance in this regard and the cinemas are set to show Yalgaar , a much-awaited Pakistani movie instead.

Salman Khan, disappointed with the least attention given by Pakistani supporters who have always loved his work , especially Bajrangi Bhai Jann, said that both countries should preach peace and should not let the boundaries affect it.

Pakistan’s alignment with China in the Sino-Indian war is why we are not so excited to watch Tubelight, specially on Eid ul fitar and with movies like Yalgar and Shor Sharaba releasing on Eid, Tubelight will definitely be not preferred over them. The movie will now be released after Eid in Pakistan.

Nicklodeon is one of the most watched cartoon channels among our younger population. But PEMRA was not pleased with the channel when they aired an episode of show called ‘Winx Club’.

Winx Club is an Italian animated series that studios in America bought and dubbed. It has been around for over a decade and still is a popular show for many children. The show follows a group of young girls who are also fairies.

PEMRA has imposed a fine of Rs.500,000 on channel as in one of the episodes the characters were ‘indecently dressed’. They were shown wearing bathing suits.

PEMRA issued a notice to Nicklodeon on 28th April and after further investigations has imposed a fine of 500,000.

PEMRA is finally very active these days and nation wishes they will also look into the matters now more often and will impose acquired punishments in contrast to just issuing notices what they have previously done.
