In one of her recent Good Morning Pakistan episodes, Nida invited her guest with a task where they all were supposed to show up along with their revamped old joras to show the audience how to reuse old clothes in innovative way.

Talking about it, Nida Yasir said, “In the coming days there will be many events but we will tell you how you should not pressurize your parents, husbands and family for new clothes because it’s not necessary to wear a new jora at every event. Yes, sometimes you can buy a new jora for a special but not always. You should normalize repeating dresses on events. If some of you can’t repeat, you should try to revamp your old clothes. Here we have guests who.will show their revamped dresses”. Watch here:

Nida Yasir’s lecture on normalizing repeating outfits is receiving huge public backlash where almost everyone has said that she has been hosting the morning show for nineteen years and has never repeated a single dress on her show. One netizen wrote, “I have been watching her show for many years but I haven’t seen her repeating her outfit” Another asked, “Did you ever repeat a dress in your morning show?” One said, “Start wearing your own clothes instead of asking for a new jora from designer for your daily transmission” Read the comments here:

Mitti De Baway is currently one of the best shows on the Pakistani television. Written by Faiza Iftikhar and directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, the story and characters have both found home with the audience. The show is giving us something new with each episode and now we have discovered Billo’s complete character picture. She is not as innocent as she looks and Mahira Khan hit it out of the park.

Wahaj Ali has completely done justice to Bala but Mahira Khan has not been any less. The way she portrayed the underlying evilness of Billo with her smile and intrigue was a treat to watch. She is a narcissist stuck in her past and she is pulling down Bala as well as her sister in law with her.

This is what went down in the latest episode of Mitti De Baway and Billo’s true nature is out:

The internet is loving how Mahira Khan has finally signed up for a negative role and how she is carrying it. One person said, “Billo is the true vamp and villain of the show.” Another added, “They way Mahira Khan smiled behind the curtain gave me goosebumps.” One went, “Billo is purely evil. Mahira did great.” This has been the reaction:

Babar Azam is once again in the news as he was seen snatching a mobile from a fan and throwing it while he was trying to take a selfie. The player actually got frustrated as people were continuously interupting the game. But the internet got furious with his way of snatching the fan’s phone.

He formed South Asia’s top Sufi Rock band Junoon with Brian o Connell and Salman Ahmad. The band Junoon gained huge popularity and released many hit albums.

Recently, Ali Azmat appeared in the Samaa TV show Gup Shab, hosted by Vasay Chaudhary. In the show, he shared his interesting opinion on Humayun Saeed’s jawani.

Taking a jibe at the Jawani Phir Nahi Pani cast, Ali Azmat said, “I appreciate you for calling me a boy. You are also a very good boy, you have just lost weight, and have written a beautiful movie and just acted in it. You will all see him soon in the cinemas. Although, his youth has gone but he still says Jawani Phir Nahi Pani, he has hired a few older heroes for his movie and trying to make them younger again.” Watch here:

Netizens are loving Ali Azmat’s honesty. One wrote, “Ali Azmat didn’t lie; he said what we were all thinking.” Another added, “He’s right—I’m so sick of seeing Humayun Saeed and Faysal Quraishi in hero roles.” A third posted, “I like Ali Azmat; his honesty level is 10/10.” While many agreed that he is always spot-on, Humayun Saeed’s fans disliked the statement and stepped in to defend him.

Shahvir Kadwani is a promising Pakistani television actor who officially began his acting career with the drama series Sunn Mere Dil, which aired in October 2024. Fans loved his emotional performance, especially his scenes alongside Mohammad Ahmed. Nowadays, he is appearing in the drama serial Mohabbat on Geo Entertainment, where he plays one of the main leads alongside Aina Asif. Beyond acting, Shahvir also has plans to venture into production in the future.

​Scenes featuring Shahvir Kadwani from Mohabbat are currently going viral online. In the show, he plays Zarrar, an angry young university student who loves to defend his friends and loved ones. However, his performance has sparked online trolling, with many viewers calling him a “light version” of Feroze Khan or Danish Taimoor or a “nepo kid” launched by his father.

Amidst the social media trolling, Sanam Saeed and Faizan Sheikh came to the defense of Shahvir Kadwani, with both saying that trolling has become Pakistan’s national sport, where everybody criticizes everyone—including newcomers, seasoned artists, and national heroes.

Faizan Sheikh wrote, “Pesh-e-khidmat hai humara naya national sport: trolling! Newcomers, seasoned actors, national heroes, clothes, appearances—bas troll kardo! Trolling isn’t clever banter; it’s cruelty disguised as humor. Behind every handle is a real person, and constant online toxicity takes a very real toll on mental health.”

​Sanam Saeed also posted on her official Instagram, writing, “​There you go again, bashing someone over a drama role! It’s a drama, for God’s sake—but his feelings are real. He’s a young actor; give him a break. So what if he’s a nepo kid? Insaan toh hai na? Dil toh hai na? Aap sab ki tarah uski bhi insecurities aur challenges hongi. You think fame, money, or privilege make it okay to pick on someone like this? Shame on you—especially those of you who are parents to young adults!

Mehwish Hayat also posted in favour of Shahvir Kadwani, saying, “You can critique someone’s work and still can choose to be kind” Read here:

Syed Jibran and Bushra Ansari have also appreciated Shahvir Kadwani and urged fans to go easy on me:

​Dar e Nijaat is a hit ARY Digital drama series written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Saqib Khan. Produced under Six Sigma Plus (or Next Level Entertainment), the show stars Sheheryar Munawar, Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, and Nameer Nawaz Khan in key roles. The story focuses on Zaryab, Zamil, and Abu Bakar as they navigate moral dilemmas, redemption, and human vulnerabilities.

​Dar-e-Nijaat is gaining massive popularity, with the character of Abu Bakar standing out in particular. Fans have been making reels, claiming that men like Abu Bakar only exist in dramas since no one saves women in real life. Amidst this ongoing debate, a social media user has claimed to be the real-life inspiration behind Abu Bakar’s character.

​Faraz Waqar, a Facebook user, wrote in a post:
​”So glad people are loving my biography in Pakistan and around the world. They changed my name to Abu Bakr in the drama Dar e Nijaat to protect my privacy. Forever grateful to friends, family, and complete strangers for all the love pouring in. And a special thank you to Umera Ahmed for bringing my personality to the screen so beautifully.”

The netizen claiming to be real life Abu Bakar is being trolled on his official account. One user commented, “Lol, I remember receiving a prank call back when Humsafar was airing where the guy claimed to be Asher.” Another user quipped, “But Umera Ahmed told me you were actually the inspiration behind Zamil; someone even said you look like his dad, and Abu Bakar’s dad was a bad man.” A third user remarked, “This happens when you post after consuming weed,” while another pointed out the irony, stating, “They changed your name in the drama to protect your privacy, and then you ended up exposing yourself anyway!” Read the comments:
