ARY Network has run a campaign against Editor-in-Chief Jang and Geo group Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman, falsely accusing him of being a traitor of Pakistan, RAW/Indian agent, American agent, CIA agent and committing blasphemy.
Britain’s media regulator, Ofcom and the British court’s verdict have cleared Jang and Geo group and its Editor-in-Chief Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman, successfully defeating a dishonest media campaign of vile and baseless accusations by Ary network. ARY had no evidence against Geo Group or Jang and lost the case.
According to reports, during the trial, lawyers for ARY had stated in court that the channel had aired accusations against Jang and Geo of working for foreign governments and agencies in response to an alleged attack by Geo. Lawyers for ARY claimed the content of its transmission was merely ‘opinion’ and that it was not meant to be fact. However, the court rejected ARY’s stance.
The British court ordered ARY to pay £3 million in damages and costs containing legal expenses. However, ARY failed to comply with the court’s orders. Hence, Ofcom has revoked all licenses of ARY Network after it allegedly declared bankruptcy on losing the case.
The ARY Network which began from a small office in London has now become one on the most popular television network of Pakistan. It’s been 16 years that ARY Television Network is entertaining a massive audience. President and CEO ARY Network Salman Iqbal celebrated the anniversary with his team by cutting a cake.
The network has grown in an excellent manner from ARY Digital it flourished to ARY News, ARY Music, ARY Zindagi, ARY QTV and ARY Films and has found a place in the hearts of millions of its viewers. Late Haji Abdul Razzaq Yaqoob laid the foundation of ARY Group. Haji Iqbal founded the ARY Digital Network while Mr. Salman Iqbal has been President and CEO of the ARY Digital Network.
ARY Films have an honour to produce super hit films on the box office including Waar, Wrong Number, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Jalebi, Ho Mann Jahan and recently released Janaan. ARY Films have also honour to release the first animated film of Pakistan ‘Teen Bahadur’.
The television network with its news, movies, drama, music and religious information has served the audience for the last 16 years.
Unfortunately, yesterday the story of an angel named Zainab affected everyone deeply, it made all the Pakistanis heavy hearted yet unanimous in demanding the culprit to be punished severely. Everyone felt the strong urge to voice their thoughts and give words to their inner most feelings keeping Zainab and her family in mind because every single person connected and felt the pain that Zainab’s parents must be going through. Amidst the chaos, a concerned Pakistani named Rania Vohra spoke her heart out by pinpointing the heartlessness that the morning show hosts display at times like these. Rania’s Instagram post got the attention because a renowned actor Nauman Ijaz not only shared it but agreed with it as well.
As expected, all the morning show hosts of famous TV Channels conducted shows dedicated to Zainab. They most certainly had the right to do so but in the middle of it, Sanam Baloch took this particular post by Rania personally and made it all about herself. Sanam Baloch made sure to put across her disagreement in a very uncultured fashion where she ended up defending herself and likes of Nida Yasir who are known for conducting Wedding Weeks (read Months) on their show. Sanam Baloch did say that she usually doesn’t talk about what is written about morning shows on social media, but this time around she couldn’t ignore it (because the truth is bitter and reality bites). Sanam could have easily ignored Rania’s post but the fact that she went out of the way to speak about it only to diss what Rania had said basically further proved Rania’s point. Sanam came up with a very weak argument that the shows which are all about makeup and weddings get the highest ratings while completely ignoring the point that Rania spoke about the bigger picture and the formats of the show in general.
Although Sanam Baloch is never as overdramatic and made up in such shows as Nida Yasir is but very often she asks the victims and their families questions which are completely purposeless as well as hurtful. When Sanam Baloch covered the APS attack in few of her shows, she kept on calling the families of the victims to her show and she kept on asking them questions which didn’t help in any way. Also, in one of her shows when she was talking to an APS student who was injured during the attack through video call, she kept on asking him about his friends and that unfortunate day. There was a psychologist present on the show who kept on saying that Sanam shouldn’t be asking the boy such questions but no one listened to her and she finally walked out of the show. Later on, her husband posted on his facebook page that his wife walked out of the show because she did not want to be a part of everything that was going on there since the boy who was in trauma was not in the condition to answer such questions.
These morning show hosts have conducted so many shows on these tragedies but still they didn’t master the art of sensitivity that is needed at times likes these. Whether they accept or not, it is a fact that these shows are run by rating mongers who do everything to grab TRP’s to satisfy their egos. Just because Sanam believes she does people a favor by hosting these shows, she was of the opinion that those who talk against these shows rape these hosts emotionally? I would really like to blame this statement on the fatigue that Sanam must be suffering because she just returned from her vacations, I would love to believe that she was jet-lagged because what she said basically made no sense whatsoever.
Well, at least Sanam had the decency to do the show bare faced because she wanted the message of her guest to reach out to people but when it came to Nida Yasir, her show (which Sanam defended by the way) started off with a dramatically acted out poem. Why can’t Nida be normal especially when it comes to tragedies like these. The black & white poster image of Nida in a scarf with her hands raised for a prayer which is used during such tragedies is not only off putting but makes everything look very fake. Nida’s styling was also very inappropriate, it was like she was dressed to later attend a dinner party. How hard was it for her to find a simple Shalwar Kameez which wasn’t so flashy and let’s not even get started on her cake face and perfectly straightened hair. Yes, they are on a camera but why put up a drama of being affected when they can not even be decent or reasonable enough to actually look like they care. All of Nida’s guests starting from Asma Abbas to Muzna were too made up, completely forgetting the fact that they were gathered to mourn a loss of a little angel. Fiza Ali’s shrilly performance also served no purpose whatsoever. For the first time may be, Nida invited a psychologist who could actually teach people a thing or two but Muzna, Fiza and Sadia had no decency to have let the expert share her knowledge and insight. Nida totally failed at tackling the show and had no control over her guests who were cutting each other off trying to prove a point that they were more saddened than one another.
In short, there was nothing “real” about Good Morning Pakistan’s “well planned” black and white theme, Nida’s perfect make-up and get-up and the way she presented herself . We are not saying that she didn’t feel anything for Zainab or her parents but why go overboard when staying natural will make it easier for people to connect to your feelings? Just like every other show hosted by Nida Yasir, this one too was run by her guests more than her. She wasn’t prepared enough therefore after giving her well memorized introduction, she didn’t have anything good to add to the discussion.
Our morning show hosts always have different reasons (excuses) for asking the victims or their families to come forward but it is a fact that the way these people are interviewed by the hosts is highly insensitive. Usually the main purpose of these questions is to extract emotional details about the incident because such clips and shows guarantee TRPs. Unfortunately, ARY is yet again using a tragedy to further their own interests and agendas. If everything that they were doing to help Zainab was done without reasserting the notion that they had played a vital role in bringing this matter to everyone’s attention, it would have seemed more “selfless”! Right now, the way they are covering this whole tragedy looks more like a marketing strategy which is exactly why a lot of people out there feel that at the end of the day unfortunately it is all about getting viewership. Share your say.
ARY the famous media house of Pakistan has announced to initiate an award for Pakistani films named ARY Film Awards. The first ceremony of awards will be held this year, where films of 2013 will be awarded in different segments.
ARY Films has become a prominent film distribution company releasing many Pakistani films in 2013. These films include Josh, Zindaa Bhaag, Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi and Waar. ARY Films will also release many Pakistani films this year including Kambakht and Jalebiyan.
On 7 July 2017 PEMRA banned Igloo’s advertisement from airing on any local television network because the ice-cream commercial contained objectionable content. The strongly seductive nature of the ad was considered inappropriate for the Pakistani audiences.
Despite this ban, ARY continued airing this ad which has resulted in the channel itself receiving a notice from PEMRA. They have been asked to submit an answer within four days and stop airing the ad immediately. Here is the copy of the show-cause notice:
First ARY Film Awards are due to be held tonight in Karachi. The rehearsals for the event are underway from past two days, and organizers are trying to make it a grand and colorful event. The event will be hosted by Shaan Shahid, Fahad Mustafa, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ayesha Omar and Sarwat Gillani.

کراچی میں اتوار کی شب ہونے والے پہلے اے آر وائی فلم ایوارڈز کی تقریب میں زندہ بھاگ اور وار بہترین فلم قرار پائیں۔
وار کو ناظرین کی پسند جبکہ زندہ بھاگ کو جیوری کی جانب سے بہترین فلم قرار دیا گیا۔
یاد رہے کہ زندہ بھاگ پہلی پاکستانی فلم ہے جو آسکر ایوارڈز کے لیے پاکستان کی جانب سے بھیجی گئی تھی۔
ان ایوارڈز کو ’ایفا‘ کا نام دیا گیا جس کے بارے میں مبصرین کا کہنا ہے کہ یہ بالی وڈ کے آئیفا سے ملتا جلتا نام رکھنے کی کوشش کی گئی ہے۔
اس تقریب کی میزبانی کے فرائض شان نے ادا کیے جبکہ اداکارہ ثروت گیلانی، عائشہ عمر اور اداکار حمزہ علی عباسی اور فہد مصطفیٰ نے معاونین کے فرائض انجام دیے۔
تقریب کے دوران کچھ تلخی بھی پیدا ہوئی جب اداکار شان نے کہا کہ وہ بھارت جا کر بکنے کے لیے تیار نہیں ہیں، جس پر علی ظفر نے کہا کہ فن کی کوئی سرحد نہیں ہوتی اور اسے لکیروں سے تقسیم نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔
یہ تقریب کافی تاخیر سے شروع ہوئی جس کے باعث اختتام بھی بہت دیر ہوا۔ ریڈ کارپٹ کے بعد تقریب کا آغاز ساڑھے دس بجے کے بعد ہوا جو صبح ساڑھے چار بجے تک جاری رہی۔ رات 12 بجے ہی سے حاضرین کی تعداد میں کمی آنی شروع ہوگئی تھی جو چار بجے تک مایوس کُن حد تک کم ہو چکی تھی۔
تقریب کی خاص بات ماضی کی معروف اداکارہ بابرہ شریف اور صائمہ کا رقص تھا۔ تاہم حاضرین نے نور کے پیش کردہ دھمال کو سب سے زیادہ پسند کیا۔
منتظمین نے اس بات کا خاص خیال رکھا تھا کہ تمام پرفارمنسز صرف پاکستانی گانوں پر ہی کی جائیں جس میں ماضی کے کئی مشہور گانے بھی شامل تھے۔
ایوارڈز تو حسب توقع سب سے زیادہ فلم ’وار‘ ہی کے حصے میں آئے۔ وار کو ناظرین کی پسند کی کیٹیگری میں بہترین فلم، بہترین اداکار شان شاہد، بہترین اداکارہ عائشہ خان، بہترین ہدایتکار بلال لاشاری کے ساتھ ساتھ بہترین معاون اداکار حمزہ علی عباسی اور بہترین معاون اداکارہ میشا شفی کے ایوارڈ دیے گئے۔ فلم وار ہی کے لیے شمعون عباسی کے منفی کردار میں بہترین اداکاری کا ایوارڈ بھی اپنے نام کیا جبکہ اس کیٹیگری میں زندہ بھاگ کے لیے نصیرالدین شاہ بھی نامزد تھے۔
اپنی پہلی ہی فلم میں بہترین اداکاری کے لیے فلم وار کی ہیروئن عائشہ خان کو جبکہ حمزہ علی عباسی کو فلم ’میں ہوں شاہد آفریدی‘ کے لیے ایوارڈ دیاگیا۔
فلم زندہ بھاگ کی ہیروئن آمنہ الیاس کو بہترین اداکارہ کا جیوری ایوارڈ دیا گیا۔ جیوری کی جانب سے بہترین اداکار فلم ’میں ہوں شاہد آفریدی‘ کے لیے ہمایوں سعید جبکہ بلال لاشاری کو بہترین ہدایتکار کا ایوارڈ ملا۔ فلم ’زندہ بھاگ‘ کو بہترین کہانی کا جیوری ایوارڈ بھی ملا۔
موسیقی کی بات کریں تو راحت فتح علی خان کو فلم ’زندہ بھاگ‘ کے لیے ایوارڈ ملا جبکہ بہترین موسیقی کا ایوارڈ فلم ’میں ہوں شاہد آفریدی‘ کے حصے میں آیا۔
بہترین مزاحیہ اداکاری کا ایوارڈ بھی فلم ’میں ہوں شاہد آفریدی‘ کے لیے اسماعیل تارا کو ملا۔
علی ظفر کو پاکستانی موسیقی کے فروغ کے لیے خدمات انجام دینے پر خصوصی ایوارڈ دیا گیا۔
پاکستان کی فلمی صنعت کے مشہور و معروف اداکار ندیم بیگ کو ان کی کئی دہائیوں پر مبنی خدمات کے صلے میں ’لائف ٹائم اچیومنٹ ایوارڈ‘ دیا گیا تو لوگوں نے کھڑے ہوکر ان کے لیے تالیاں بجائیں۔
تقریب کے آخر میں اے آر وائی کے سی ای او سلمان اقبال نے بتایا کہ آئندہ سال یہ ایوارڈز لندن میں ہوں گے اور اس کے لیے انھوں نے ابھی سے ہی لندن کا رائل البرٹ ہال بُک کرا لیا ہے۔

Ary dramas have lately been focusing more on issues which is why they provide quality entertainment. Ary dramas also keep the viewers hooked because of their fast pace especially in the first 15 weeks or so. After that the viewers can’t help tuning into these dramas and that’s how they become massive hits. This year there were many Ary dramas which broke all the records of TRPs. People did not only watch these dramas but these Ary dramas were also the topic of discussion on different platforms. Some of these dramas dragged in between but overall they got unprecedented appreciation from the viewers. Even those people who do not follow Pakistani dramas are fully acquainted with these dramas because they were all over social media. The good thing about these top Ary dramas is that they offer variety. Ary is considered the best channel for dramas and it always gives its contender Hum tv a good run for its money. Ary dramas most often prove to be more entertaining than the dramas which air on other channels.

Do Bol was the most watched and loved Ary drama in 2019. It was produced by two of the biggest production houses in the country who gave us few of the most popular plays this year. Do Bol’s story was relatively simple but the entire journey of the lead characters was shown and covered in such a manner that people were completely involved in their journeys. This drama covered the journey of two main characters played by Hira Mani and Affan Waheed, who get married by chance and due to a misunderstanding.
The fast pace of this drama and the characterizations added to the appeal and the viewership. The OST of Do Bol also became really popular. Hira Mani and Affan Waheed outshone in their respective roles and their on-screen couple was a massive hit. Multiple episodes of Dol Bol aired every week which also was another reason why people enjoyed watching it. They didn’t have to wait an entire week to watch a new episode.
Cheekh had the viewers glued to their television screens right from the first episode. This Ary drama started on such a note that it intrigued the viewers. There was an element of mystery, thriller and drama all rolled in to one. The storyline revolved around a young woman whose friend dies under mysterious circumstances. This young woman Manat sets out to solve the murder mystery and as the story goes forward the plot thickens. The plot of this serial was different so it appealed to the viewers.
Some of the performances in this drama completely won the viewers over. Saba Qamar gave yet another memorable and phenomenal performance of her career in Cheekh. Aijaz Aslam and Emaad Irfani’s performances were also loved by the viewers. Another reason for Cheekh’s success was the unpredictable plot and unexpected twists and turns. This drama had both negative and positive characters therefore the variety of characters added to its charm. Even those viewers who don’t watch Pakistani dramas often watched this play and loved it. This was the first time that Bilal Abbas was seen playing a negative role which he nailed completely.
Balaa was another top rated and most hit Ary drama this year. This drama kept the viewers engaged and it also had a message for all the narcissists. Balaa’s story revolved around a young woman who exploited and manipulated everyone around her. This drama also showed that sometimes men too get married to controlling women who destroy their lives. The leading lady played remarkably by Ushna Shah was the balaa who kept on playing mind games right till the end. The twists and turns in the story were mostly unpredictable which piqued the viewers interest in this show.
This drama got unparalleled popularity. Some people were also of the opinion that this drama successfully highlighted that a bahu too could put her saas through the worst. Balaa got too dark towards the end and it was extremely disturbing too but the performances kept the viewers hooked till the very end. Just like all the other dramas in this list, Balaa too got a lot of ratings and was definitely the most hit drama on Ary. Ushna Shah and Samina Peerzada’s performances were the best part of the last few episodes. All those people who watched this drama agreed that once you tune in to it, you end up watching it for longer than anticipated. The role reversal in the end took the viewers by surprise.
Kaisa Hei Naseeban
Writer: Sameena Ijaz
Director: Ahmed Bhatti
Producer: iDream Entertainment
Kaisa Hei Naseeban popularity sky rocketed from the first episode. Through this drama the makers tried to highlight an issue which is rarely ever touched upon by Pakistani writers. Kaisa Hei Naseeban showed the story of a girl who gets married abroad and is ill treated by her in laws who also happened to be her relatives. The way this entire journey was covered was convincing and there were so many women who could relate to the ordeal the main protagonist went through at some level.
The best part about this drama was not just the journey but also the ending. Unlike other such dramas in which women are shown in miserable condition, this one gave the main protagonist an ending which gave a ray of hope to all these women in similar circumstances. Ramsha Khan’s performance in the drama gave her unprecedented popularity. Muneeb Butt and Uzma Gillani played negative characters with precision and left their mark.
Mere Pass Tum Ho is currently the most watched and liked Ary drama. It has broken all the previous records set by any drama this year and it continues to hold the interest of the viewers. Mere Pass Tum Ho’s dialogues and its characters have gained the kind of popularity which dramas get rarely. It is the story of a married couple and that of two different individuals on their own journeys.
The mind blowing performances by Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan and Adnan Siddiqui have made this drama a treat to watch for the viewers. Nadeem Baig has directed this drama in such a way that people feel like they are part of the lives of the characters. This is the only Ary drama which trends on social media every week and is discussed on social media and other platforms. It is considered bold and unconventional.
Which one of these dramas are your favorite? Feel free to add to the list.

Well, all the social media users agree on a point that Tum Bin Kesay Jiyen seems to be a copy of any typical Star Plus serial. They are saying that taking close ups of each character in a chaotic situation is signature India dramas’ style, now being copied by Pakistanis. They are also calling Tum Bin Kesay Jiyen a Dhoom Tana serial because of loud make up, over dramatic scenes and music. They are also bashing drama makers for putting up a poor show. Here are the comments made by the audiences regarding the dramas:

The trailer also features Kubra Khan’s sarcastic voiceover and interaction with her mother-in-law.
Watch the trailer first:
Social media users and drama buffs are agitated with the Indian inspired trailer of the drama serial Noor Jahan. Many believed that the drama is a copy of the iconic Indian Saas Bahu serial Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. A fan pointed out that the set and the family resemble with the typical Indian serials, while others criticized Pakistani drama makers for their obsession with producing Saas Bahu content for ratings. Kubra Khan’s fans expressed disappointment with her recent script choice, as she has previously worked in dramas that delivered moral lessons.
The hit drama serial Meray Paas Tum Ho turned out to be massive hit this year. The drama, with Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui and Ayeza Khan in the lead was directed by Nadeem Baig and revolved around a couple’s story who broke apart because of money. The drama, written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar became received a lot of appreciation from the masses and became a favorite.
The last episode of Meray Paas Tum Ho was screened in cinemas across Pakistan in January and had a massive viewership that broke records for a number of films on their first day screening.
And now, since Pakistan is being urged to stay at home to be safe from the global pandemic, it seems, ARY has launched its own campaign to make sure people abide by it. ARY Digital shared that Meray Paas Tum Ho would be back on air after a huge public demand. The news was shared on the channel’s Instagram handle.
“The Mega Blockbuster drama #MerayPaasTumHo is coming back to your screens on PUBLIC DEMAND‼️
Starting 30th March, Mon-Fri at 10:00 PM only on #ARYDigital”

Since we’re all staying at home, it would be rather fun to watch the amazing drama once again on our television screens. Stay at home and enjoy people. Keep safe.
Dramas depict reality in many ways and there is no denying the fact that unfortunately there are plenty of vices in our society. It is the duty of the drama makers to ensure that while presenting serious and sensitive topics, their motive should be “educate while they entertain”. When the main purpose of such dramas is getting public attention and not to enlighten and raise awareness then the actual message is lost.
Lately the dramas on ARY Digital in particular have ‘commercialized’ many social evils by presenting them in a way which sensationalizes these issues. Another agenda of the drama makers seems to be desensitizing the viewers towards all these social evils by showing such grave and depressing scenarios repeatedly and constantly. The tactics used by ARY Digital are getting old now but ARY continues to rely on Haiwans and Balaas to get ratings. Showing seriously disturbing scenarios every week and leaving the actual lesson for the last couple of episodes is the pattern which ARY has been following for over a year now. It is almost as if the makers of such dramas expect people to derive sadistic pleasure out of watching narcissists get away with the worst things possible.
The producers, the channel and everyone else involved is never seen talking about the social impact of these dramas once they go on air but they proudly boast about the ratings which is the obvious objective.
Too Many Tragedies In A Single Drama
Aisi Hei Tanhai, Haiwan, Meri Gurya, Beti and Balaa are some of the dramas in which the most shocking developments were shown in the first few episodes. As if these shocks were not enough, the viewers were further allured into watching these dramas by showing promos which ‘promised’ a lot more ‘action’ in the upcoming episodes. Aisi Hei Tanhai essentially covered how important it was for women to be careful in relationships but it ended up showing every single evil which exists – rape in a hospital, a mother poisoning her daughter and the way the society treats a woman who has no place to go. In drama serial Haiwan, the man who raped and killed the young girl, her sister ended up getting married to the rapist’s son and as a result for the longest time lived in the house where her sister was buried. In the recently aired drama serial Beti, the mother switches the ventilator off and literally kills her newborn in the second episode. The other daughter is kidnapped in the fourth episode!
Basically all these stories relied heavily on one shocking and upsetting tragedy after the other. That was the main attraction in these shows and the educational value of these shows was definitely undermined because of it. All these dramas were promoted like they were mainly going to highlight important social issues and will be more educational than entertaining. The execution however was such that clearly the main objective of the producers was to entice the viewers by sensationalizing these issues instead of presenting the story in a decent manner.
Psychopaths and Rapists On The Loose
Showing such characters in dramas is not wrong but when every second drama has at least one psychopath who is usually also the rapist and he literally runs the show then the drama makers are not doing their job right! Such dramas do not raise awareness or empathy but they desensitize the viewers. When every second drama shows children and women being raped and murdered, such dramas do not have a bigger objective, then in reality they are only serving the purpose of ‘entertaining’ the viewers by using such topics.
Alcoholism, The Ultimate Escape
ARY Digital can be labelled as a culprit when it comes to promoting drinking in depression or when you hit the rock bottom. It is something that can be seen literally in every other drama that airs on ARY these days. The drama makers are now making sure to show that the only way one can cope with the loss is by relying heavily on alcohol because it helps in numbing the pain and there’s no other option. We are never ever shown that one can find strength in such dire circumstances or they try to come out of this phase of depression with the help of family or friends, rather it is simply suggested that the only thing that can help is alcohol.
In Koi Chand Rakh when Umair goes through a heartbreak, he drinks. In Balaa when Junaid loses his first wife, he drinks and continues to drink so much that he ends up killing his second wife while he’s intoxicated. Not only Junaid, his servant Yaqoob also drinks to give Junaid some company. In Haiwaan, Hameed drinks so much that he ends up raping a young girl. In Khud Parast, Moeez is a womanizer who can’t stand his wife therefore he shows up at his doorstep drunk every single night. Even though the channel thinks that by putting up a ticker that states ‘sharab noshi haram hai’ they are doing their public service job perfectly but it is ridiculous that they are completely ignorant of the fact that visuals leave a bigger impact rather than a written warning. If they are just so conscious about it being prohibited then why can’t they stop creating such scenarios where the character has to rely on alcohol by hook or by crook? It literally seems like they are making people immune to this evil and are desensitizing the viewers towards those who drink by implying it as something normal which it definitely is not.
Negativity Rules And Oppressors Are Powerful
The drama makers at ARY believe in giving too much power to their negative characters, so much so that they forget to draw a line and maintain a balance. Most of the dramas that have such characters end up looking like a one-sided match because the oppressors posses the brains and the oppressed are practically brain-free to put two and two together or at least do something to stop the oppression. Balaa is one such example where Nigar has never been caught and continues with her ways
It is unfortunate that Balaa is being included as an example every single time but for all the wrong reasons. In Koi Chand Rakh, Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes gets treated like a doormat, no one in the entire world is loyal to her but she doesn’t understand this basic thing. Rabail’s oppressors Zain and Nishal have all the power and they have already decided her fate. In Haiwaan, the rapist now has his wife on his side who despite knowing his dirty secret it not opening her mouth to do right by the family of the girl who died.
Divorce, Divorce, Divorce
In every single drama of ARY Digital these days, one couple or the other gets divorced, it is a must and if it doesn’t happen, the drama is incomplete. If a couple has a problematic beginning or relationship, it is a done deal that their relationship will end up in a divorce. There doesn’t seem to be a single drama these days that is divorce-free because our writers don’t believe in showing such couples who chose to stick together against all odds. It is also ridiculous that they bring two people together in a marital relationship who are not compatible right from the beginning because then they rely on their miseries to progress the story and when they get to extract every ounce of mirch masala from their miserable condition, they show them parting ways and trying to pick up the pieces in the last 10 seconds of the very last episode.
What are your thoughts about the negativity which seems to be the focus of attention in almost every other drama being aired on ARY Digital? Don’t you feel they should be more sensible and mindful while dealing with sensitive topics? Do share your thoughts about it.
ARY Digital is famous for its signature Ramadan transmissions, as the channel believes in hiring famous individuals or viral sensations to boost views and ratings. Previously, they have enlisted big names such as Junaid Jamshed and Amjad Sabri. They also introduced the viral sensation Ahmed Shah in their Ramadan transmission. The channel frequently invites viral sensations in other regular transmissions, and the cute viral kid Shiraz from Gilgit Baltistan is the latest addition to this league.
Well, Shiraz is a very cute kid from Gilgit, Baltistan, who gained popularity through one of his daily vlogs. Shiraz showcases the beautiful mountainous village to people in an adorable way, and his method of explaining is both hilarious and interesting. ARY Digital reached out to Shiraz after observing his popularity. Now, Waseem Badami has also shared the promo of his upcoming Ramadan Transmission with Shiraz. First, watch the promo:
Well, fans believe that Shiraz should not have joined the media because it has the power to negatively change a person. According to the social media users, the media is a powerful tool that can have a detrimental impact on mindsets, especially on kids who are in their learning process. Fans are praying for the innocent Shiraz and urging Waseem Badami to take special care of the child. Fans are also calling out the media for using his popularity and fame for their ratings and views. Read a few comments:
Pakistani dramas are considered better than Indian dramas and have found a huge following in the neighbouring country due to their realistic plots and non-toxicity. But things are changing for Pakistani dramas as well as all dramas these days are about saas-bahu and nand toxicity. the dramas are dragged for 50+ episodes and there is no end to the misery of the lead characters. ARY though has many hit dramas if we go by their ratings but people are fed up with the toxic plots. Their long play Meray Hi Rehna looks like a Starplus play due to the toxic sister in law and people are complaining.
Here is the toxicity being pointed out:
This is what the internet thinks:
Meanwhile Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha another hit according to views is also being criticized for the leads as well as the supporting cast being super toxic. Though the drama had two big stars Hania Aamir and Wahaj Ali as the leading pair and some very big names in the supporting cast, people found it to be super anpying and did not shy away from sharing their thoughts.
Here is the toxicity being depicted for over 20 episodes now:
For the audience which was looking for another powerful drama like Udaari here comes another drama “Khuda Mera Bhi Hai” with a very unique and bold topic of transgender. The drama will be aired on Ary Digital. The drama has a very interesting plot and the teaser of the drama does not allow you to move without finishing it. The drama is written by Asma Nabeel and directed by Shahid Shafat. The play is produced by Sana Shahnawaz.
Basically it is a story of a married couple, Ayesha Khan and Jibran Syed who give birth to a transgender baby. It is worth appreciation that ARY Digital is delivering a new topic, which is truly worth discussion. For a couple the best moment in life when they are blessed with a baby but what happens when their child is a hermaphrodite? And how the society treats them.
The Promos show the typical mindset of our society when Ayesha Khan’s monther- in-Law Isra Ghazal shouted, ‘hamari bahu ne hijra paida kiya hai!’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxaixGDcf-k
Not confirmed but sources reveal that Pakistani actor Furqan Qureshi will be playing the part of Jibran and Ayesha’s transgender son. Hira Tareen, Saba Hameed and Aly Khan will also be seen in the upcoming drama.

Pakistani youngsters have started following the native channels idealizing the people and wanting to be like them. These celebrities pose a negative icon to the people round the globe when they are misfit in terms of height, facial freshness, weight, and experience wardrobe malfunctioning. Influence of some of the style icons is under great threat as the following celebrities definitely require an urgent makeover. This includes Saima, Omer Sharif, Fahad Mustafa, Meera, Resham, Zaalay Sarhadi, Nirma, Amina Haq, Tehmina Khalid, Farah Hussain and etc.
It has been said that the early you get married, the more are the chances of your marriage turning successful. The reason is obvious, mature minds show less flexibility when it comes to molding oneself according to the desires of their partner. So yes, I am in favor of those who get married in between 20-30 years of age. After that, complications are more and chances to live a happy married life are less(not in all cases, ofcourse.) I have compiled a list of artists who got married at the peak of their career. Here it is.
1 . Sahiba & Rambo
Everyone is familiar of “John Rambo” of guest house and actress, Sahiba. They got married at very early age; Despite of her mother being against their marriage, Sahiba somehow managed to convince her and they are living a happily married life with two sons now.
2. Ali Zafar
Who knew that a person who drew portraits while sitting in lobby of Pearl Continental Hotel, will become one fine artist one day. Yes, he is Ali Zafar; He got married at young age when he met his soul mate Aisha. Till date, she accompanies him in all his tours and trips and is always standing by his side.
3. Atif Aslam
Kitni he larkyu k dil tornay walai ,Atif Aslam, got married to Sara Bharwana last year . It was indeed peak of his career when he took the decision to start his family life and now they are enjoying their parenthood with a cute little son.
4. Sanam Baloch
Marriage news of Sanam Baloch was quite a surprise for me ,as there was no hype of her getting married in media ever before.. and then suddenly , we got to see her “surprise” wedding pictures that ensured us about her marriage.
5. Syra & Shehroz
I always liked Syra Yousaf for the way she carries herself; She always looked decent and poised and I think, she took right decision of getting married at right time. Syra and Shehroz are living a very happy married life with their 3 months old daughter.
6. Annie Jaffery
Annie looks like a Barbie doll and I always thought that she is too young to be taken as lead female..par itni young hain nahi... Right at the peak of her career, she announced her engagement with this UK mate,Faris Rehman. Within months, she got married but we are unable to see her onscreen till date. Come back soon Annie ,We miss you !
7. Fatima Affindi & Kanwar Arsalan
Fatima forms a part of emerging talents in Pakistan Showbiz fraternity. She did some promising roles in dramas and while working with Kanwar Arsalan, she decided to get married. They are blessed with a baby boy a couple of days ago.
8. Soniya Hussain & Wasif
One of my favorite actresses these days, Soniya Hussain, recently got wed-locked to model cum showstopper, Wasif.
8. Aiza & Danish
Aiza and Danish, stepped into showbiz as a couple but they always preferred not to amalgamate their personal life with professional. Some people took their relation as rumor but this rumor proved to be true last month.
10. Sarwat Gillani & Fahad Mirza
Sarwat Gillani needs no introduction ; Be it her role in Malaal or in Dil e Muztar, she proved herself as a versatile actress. Fahad Mirza has his short acting career but I can sense a potential lead male in him.They tied the knots last month too.
Do come up with your names of celebrity couples or artists who got married at the peak of their careers, if any.
