Violence against women is rampant in Pakistan. We do not have a balanced policing or judicial system to help women stuck under different forms of violence. Meanwhile the society and the way our households are built also allow a lot of exploitation of women. Pakistan is also amongst countries where you can have children with a person but you will never communicate with them. Marital issues and cheating is common in marriages and every third household will have a similar story. But Dr Nabiha Ali Khan has some advice for women to please their husbands in any situation.
Dr Nabiha said that a woman came to her and she had doubts that her husband was cheating on her. Her husband did not come home on time or spend quality time with her. To this Nabiha asked the woman if she took care of her hygiene, if not then that is probably why her husband was trying to find solace somewhere else. She went to say that a wife should even behave like a courtesan if it makes her husband happy. She should sing and dance too if necessary.
Here is what she said:
This sparked a debate about if a woman only needs to do everything to please her husband and even if it is possible in Pakistani society. Also people pointed out that cheaters cheat regardless of who is their partner. This is what the internet has to say:

Lately, many Pakistani celebrities are reacting to the web-series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Ahmed Ali Butt made fun of the series and titled it “Kheeramandi”. The social media influencer Ken Doll took a sarcastic jibe on “Heeramandi” through his hilarious video in which he’s speaking like the actors who worked in “Heeramandi”. The Pakistani actors including Mathira, Iqra Aziz and others also loved Ken Doll’s take on it. First see the two posts:
Pakistanis are dissatisfied with the storytelling and portrayal of Heeramandi, expressing disappointment with the makers for its over-the-top presentation.

One social media user remarked, “I started watching the series but couldn’t continue for more than five minutes.” Another Pakistani commented, “No, we don’t speak like this in Pakistan.” Additionally, there is criticism towards the actors of Heeramandi who struggled with the pure Urdu dialect.

Basic ethics come from education, and there is a lack of education everywhere.’ Nadia Afgan added, ‘I believe everything needs discipline, drill, and commitment. You need to follow the process; practice makes one perfect. Actors today seem clueless about their lines and are unwilling to do rehearsals. They even ask about their lines from us’
Behroze Sabzwari further said, ‘In the most intense death scenes of fathers, the girls cry with perfectly set hair and full makeup on their faces.’ Here is the link to the video:

Durefishan Saleem has been able to achieve milsestone after milestone in a very short period of time and she is already one of the top actresses of Pakistan though she made her debut just four years back in the year 2020. She has achieved an interesting filmography and her fans and followers have grown exponentially on both social media and in real life in the past one year.
Durefishan Saleem Early Life
Here are some adorable childhood pictures of Durefishan Saleem with her parents:
Durefishan Saleem is the daughter of ace PTV producer Saleem ul Hassan who worked for PTV in the early 2000s. She hails from Lahore and has three other siblings with her being the eldest. She always wanted to be an actor and often felt like Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit as she acted or danced as a child. She was super confident about her passion and always wanted to pursue acting.
Durefishan Saleem’s parents always wanted her to complete her education so she graduated in Law and went abroad for a year to complete her studies. She is a lawyer by education and interned at many big places including with the late Asma Jahangir’s chamber and at the AG office during her studies.
This is her educational background:
Entry Into Showbiz
Durefishan is originally from Lahore but had to fly to Karachi to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. She visited all the major production houses in the city to give her auditions. In an early interview, she revealed that although she had a connection in the industry, she did everything independently to secure her place in showbiz. Despite being new to the city, she gave many auditions at all the big channels and eventually landed a role in the industry.
Here is what she shared about her audition journey:
Durefishan Nepotism or Talent
Durefishan secured auditions in the industry through her father’s connection with veteran actor Kashif Mehmood.
This is what she shared in an interview early on in her career:
As she disclosed in the interview, Durefishan did not discuss her parents as they preferred to stay out of the public eye.
Rise To Stardom
Durefishan made her debut with Hum TV’s Dilruba. She kept holding on as she did not want to do a soap and only wanted to start with a prime-time drama. She almost locked one but then it did not happen and she picked up Dilruba in haste as she tried to start. She kept getting more offers throughout Dilruba and then she did Bharaas which registered with the audience. Durefishan and Marina Khan became close friends during the Dilruba shoot. Later, Durefishan starred as the lead in Pardes, a prime-time drama.
Durefishan Drama Choices
Durefishan Saleem is known for taking up unique and empowering scripts. However, the drama that made her a star was Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, starring Danish Taimoor. Despite criticism for its regressive script and promotion of Stockholm Syndrome, the show performed well and was among the most watched shows in both India and Pakistan. After Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, Durefishan received many good offers, and it established her as a talented actress to look forward to.
Dure also subtly disowned the story as she did not want to be a part of stories like that in the future:
She has done dramas like Dilruba, Bharaas, Pardes, Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, Jaisay Aapki Marzi, Khaie, and Ishq Murshid till now. In recent times, every drama production that she has been involved in has received an overwhelming amount of praise and success. The quality of her work has been appreciated more by the audience than the critics.
Contemporaries Comments
Durefishan has just given three hits back to back including Jaisay Aapki Marzi, Khaie, and Ishq Murshid. She was also praised for her role in Khaie as it was a very different character but her contemporaries feel like she has luck working for her more than her talent. Her contemporary Nazish Jahangir recently said that Durefishan is mostly at the position she is because of her luck.
Nazish mentioned that Durefishan Saleem is lucky as all her dramas have become hits. She attributed her success to luck rather than talent.
DureFishan’s Success – Luck Or Talent?
Nazish Jahangir’s comments did start the luck vs talent debate on social media regarding Durefishan Saleem’s success and yes luck has favoured her well. She did not struggle like other outsiders of the industry to get roles. The financial stability also allowed her to be more picky with the scripts and she has also acknowledged that she has been lucky in this regard that she did not have to struggle. She however, said that she had other struggles like she had to live away from her family in Lahore and had to stay in Karachi for her work. She always misses her mother whom she is very close to and this is a sacrifice she had to make for her passion.
Here is what Durefishan thinks about being lucky:
Durefishan Massive Fanbase
Durefishan has amassed a massive following of 4.3 million and counting on social media. They love her and are always there to support her. After Ishq Murshid, the fan following has gone even crazier and the actress has fans all over the world now and not just in Pakistan.
Durefishan On Her Good Looks
Durefishan Saleem looks like the typical Pakistani heroine that is loved by millions if we go by the industry standards. She has a lighter complexion, a good height and straight hair. All these things do help someone bag roles more than the others who do not fit the mould. Durefishan is privy to this privilege and even acknowledged herself that yes her looks have made things easier for her in the industry. She was very open and honest and said that people in the industry still care about set beauty standards but things are evolving which makes her happier. She also aims to be known more for her work in her career and she is working towards her goal though she is a beautiful woman.
Her honest and wise thoughts on pretty privilege:
Durefishan’s Comparisons to Mahira Khan
As both the beauties have similar complexions and hair, many times Durefishan is compared to Mahira Khan. She also revealed in an interview that she is a big Mahira Khan fan and she will always want to be her fan more than becoming her friend. She also revealed that many people in the industry think that she looks like Mahira Khan.
This is how Durefishan had reacted to the comparisons:
In general, Durefishan Saleem is being selective with the scripts she chooses and is venturing out of her comfort zone by taking on projects such as Khaie. However, luck has also been on her side. Her fans eagerly anticipate what she will do next.
What do you believe is the reason behind Durefishan Saleem’s success: her talent or her luck?
Anwar Masood is one of the most respectable names in the world of Pakistani literature. He is the professor of Persian but he got his name mostly for his Punjabi poetry. He has spoken about the double standards of society, loss of civilization and social responsibility in his poems but wrapped all that up in a wrapper of fun and humour. Anwar Masood was a guest on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast and he spoke about his famous poem Maa and shared that how it is not just a poem but a true story.
He shared that he was teaching at a school in Kunjah after his graduation and that is where he saw the scene between the two boys Akram and Basheer. He was so moved and emotional by the story that he wrote a poem on it and Maa is actually inspired by a true story.
Anwar Masood shared that to this day, after about 50 years now, he still gets emotional and teary-eyed as soon as he starts reading this poem and the same happens to anyone who is listening. He also kept crying the whole night when he was writing it.
Fazila Qazi has been working in the industry for 30 years now. She was an instant hit with the audience as soon as she appeared on the screens. Fazila has been a part of some historical projects and her beauty and talent has always been admired by the audience. She is also a family woman and always prioritized her marriage and sons over everything else. Fazila Qazi was a guest on Maliha Rehman’s show and she spoke her heart out.
She is one of the actresses who always call a psade a spade without worrying about the consequences. She has always called out the nepotism and industry camps and how appropriate actors are never given a chance for certain roles. She also spoke about the insecurities actors have in the industry.
Fazila said that competition and insecurities have always been a part of the industry. In old times, seniors used to crush juniors as they were no less than a Pharoah. Tables have turned a bit now but she has seen it all. People bribing writers with dresses to get meatier dialogues or getting someone else’s role cut. She also spoke about how sometimes actresses are jealous of your looks and will try to pull you down by stealing away the makeup artist and stuff like that.
She shared that she always knew how to handle this and ignoring them is always the best policy. Here is what she said:
Hira Mani is an actress who loves to act, dance and sing and she has never shied away from sharing her talent. She made her debut years after she was married to Mani. She was a host first and later on made her acting debut in Preet Na Kariyo Koi. She has not looked back since and she has been doing great with dramas like Do Bol, Mere Paas Tum Ho and Kashf to her credit. She is right now seen in Jaan Se Pyara Juni and she will soon be a part of Sun Dil Mere on Geo TV.
Hira Mani just got to the shoot of her drama Jaan Se Payar Juni while she was injured. Hira’s foot was injured and she could not walk. Thus when she reached the sets, people from the team made her sit on a chair and then carried that chair to the set. Her makeup artist Sajid Wahab shared the video on his Instagram.
People trolled Hira though as she could have gotten a wheel chair instead of sitting and gotten a lift on a stationary one. This is how the internet reacted:
