Iqrar ul Hassan happens to be Pakistan’s favorite anchorperson and investigative journalist who has ruined hundreds and hundreds of scams and unearthed mafias in the country. Iqrar’s show, Sare Aam on ARY News is one of the most followed shows by far.
As it happens, Iqrar ul Haq recently used his social media to create awareness regarding the threats he and his team members had been receiving from a former culprit they helped catch. According to the video message shared by Iqrar, if anything happens to him or any of his team mate, the law officials will know who to blame and why.
According to Iqrar, one of his teammates was recently kidnapped and threatened to be killed by one of the former culprits that the Sare Aam team had nabbed.
“Three years ago we conducted a raid alongside the rangers and nabbed a fake DSP who was involved in human trafficking. We also helped find girls from his hideout who had been tied and bound. We then found out that this fake DSP was wanted for three murders as well. A case was registered and he was sentenced to jail,” shared Iqrar adding that the culprit was then released after three years owing to the corrupted judicial system of our society.
Iqrar then stated that the fake DSP now released from jail was behind his team and himself and were threatening him with consequences regarding their life. Iqrar urged the social media to share his video as much as possible to raise awareness and concern the authorities in case something happened to him or his team.
Iqrar ul Hassan is a famous news anchor of Pakistan. He hosts a program called ‘Sar-e-Aam’. He got married twice and has a son named, Pehlaaj Hassan.
Iqrar ul Hassan and his wife Farah Iqrar share a good bond. They have opened up a restaurant together. They are not just life partners but also business partners. The restaurant’s name is Pak Cuisine which will portray Pakistan’s positive image in the world through its wonderful cuisine.
His wife Farah was more than happy on this new journey of life. She wrote, “FROM LIFE PARTNERS TO BUSINESS PARTNERS.

Hina asked Mehmood Aslam to share his love story with the world. She said that he has a very successful marriage and she will like to know about how he fell in love with his now wife. Mehmood Aslam was super rude in reply and said that this question is highly inappropriate and she should not have asked it.
Hina Niazi burst into tears on Mehmood Aslam’s rude behaviour and that is when they revealed that it was a prank on her.
Here is what went down:
This is how the public is reacting to this prank which went on in a prime slot show:
Road shows have become a trend in Pakistan following the rise of unlimited social media platforms and the boom of electronic media. Anchors now conduct and produce their own road shows, engaging in conversations with the general public, which includes individuals from regressive and less educated backgrounds. Nowadays, social media events often draw public attention for being offensive and unacceptable in nature.
During one such road show, an anchor of a social media platform was gathering opinions from general public on the Falasteen issue. In the video, a man touched her and placed his shawl on the anchor’s head.
The anchor called out the man for touching her without her permission. She also said that such actions are against the teachings of Islam and no one can touch a person without his/her permission. She further added that wearing the headscarf is her personal choice, and no one else has the right to impose it on her. Addressing the man, she said, ‘You should only be concerned about the women in your own family, not us. I am representing my family, where we are given the choice to cover our heads or not. Yes, you can face charges of harassment for touching me.’ See the video:
This video is going viral and is getting praise. Nadia Hussain and Mathira praised the woman for being opinionated and about the idea of consent with the reference to Islamic knowledge.
People are coming up with mixed responses. Some said that the man didn’t do anything wrong while the others said he was placing duppata on her head while staring at her. Public also praised the anchor for her response. Read the comments:
Aftab Iqbal is a big name in the Pakistani news industry. He came up with the Pakistani SNL in the form of Hasb e Haal. The show was a big hit but he had a falling out with the team and went on to host other shows like Khabarnaak and Khabardaar. He brought many theatre artists on television and they all made feasible careers. He has been in a lot of controversies over the years and a new one is coming out now.
Anchor Eshal Adnan has now made some serious claims against Aftab Iqbal. She revealed that she was working for Express News when Aftab was also hosting his show on the channel. She got promoted as the other female co-host for Aftab’s show left. She was happy about this but then Aftab Iqbal started harassing and threatening her. He was asking her to do special favours. This was shocking for her and she clearly denied his “requests”. After her denial, Aftab Iqbal said that he will never let her appear on the television screen. Eshal added that Nasir Chiniyoti and Ruby Anam are actors who are witnesses to this situation. She was also dropped from the show.
This is what Eshal Adnan had to say:
Previously, news broke out that Aftab Iqbal’s co-host Mariyam Ali Hussain got married to him. The couple also has two children. They later got divorced and Aftab Iqbal still supports his two sons from that marriage.
Aftab Iqbal has not released any statement on the claims yet!

Dr Fiza Akbar was a guest on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast and she talked about that particular incident. She said that she was present at the LOC and she experienced how difficult it was to climb up till there. There was Pakistan’s flag flying over her head while all the soldiers were there singing patriotic songs though the conditions were so difficult.

Lately, the anchor appeared in the show Zabardast with Wasi Shah. In the show, Ayesha Naz shared the biggest regret of her life regarding losing her younger sister.
Talking about it, Ayesha Naz said, “Yes, there is a regret in my life. It’s a recent incident regarding my younger sister, who had a medical condition where her eyelid used to twitch, it is a medical condition called Blepharospasm. We all initially associated it with luck, but her condition worsened. She googled her illness and became worried after knowing details of illness. Unfortunately, the medical profession has become a business, where doctors seem more interested in charging fees. My sister booked an appointment, and the doctor recommended surgery. She went through with the operation on her own, but it became complicated, and she never regained her health. Eventually, she passed away, leaving behind a young daughter”.
She further added, “I deeply regret not paying more attention to her condition. We should have listened to her concerns and acted earlier. It was only when we paid the hospital bill and collected her body that I realized the importance of listening to the people around us. She was always quiet by nature, and we never really heard her.” Here is the link to the video:
The social media users are praying for her patience and her sister’s forgiveness. Read the comments:
Many news anchors and hosts of talk shows came and went in the Pakistani media industry, but some faces were introduced that were second to none. Their accent and style made their mark on the audience. Such a face was introduced as Ayesha Jahanzeb in Pakistani media industry.
Before that, no one would have known Ayesha’s story. Some time ago, she attended the web show of actress and host Iffat Omar and told about her life.
Ayesha is a very intelligent and capable host, it can be inferred from her conversation. “I am the only daughter of my parents. My father left my mother when I was a child and I was raised by my mother with my aunts and uncles. We lived in a joint family since childhood,” she said.
Ayesha said, “From the beginning, I hated the word poor. People used to tell me that your father left you, poor, so I didn’t like it at all.”
Ayesha revealed that her first husband, whom she had married for love, had died. They have three children, she said. After the death of her first husband, she took her children out of the country for vacations so that they could get out of this trauma. “I didn’t want the same to happen with my children that happened with me. I met my second husband when I was on a trip. My husband was single, so I was worried that he might not be able to handle it all, but he is a very good person,” said Ayesha.
Ayesha Jahanzeb further said that my mother raised me like both mother and father, she was a shy woman but still she did not let me miss my father for the rest of my life. “I like strong women from the beginning, I like my aunt very much because she is a strong woman,” Ayesha added.

Anam made her debut with the popular drama serial Mere Dard Ko Jo Zaban Milay.

Anam was last seen in the film Jee Ve Sohneya Ji and reality show Tamasha.
Recently, Anam Tanveer appeared on the Mazaqraat podcast, hosted by Imran Ashraf. On the show, she opened up about heartbreak and loss in love.
While talking about it, Anam Tanveer said, “It’s difficult to leave people whom you love, and you should be with the one you love during difficult times. When you love someone deeply, it can become your downfall because you are constantly putting effort into a relationship and the other person takes you for granted. One should move on instead of staying in a one sided relationship. I move on—if the other person is not taking my love seriously, I leave and move on.” Watch here:
She further added, “I am saying that when you get so attached, you feel like it’s the end of your life; it feels like a downfall. But you should let go of the person who doesn’t want to stay. If the feelings are not mutual, there is no use in stopping someone. I let him go, I cried for a few days, and then moved on. Sometimes silence in love is closure. My message to my ex lover is that love is meant for brave people; a weak man can’t love another person—so yes, he was a weak man.”
We have seen Anam Tanveer in many dramas. She is an actress who has done many roles ranging from supporting characters to negative characters and she always does justice to her roles.

Lately, Anam Tanveer appeared in FHM’s podcast, hosted by Adnan Faisal. In the podcast, she talked about Pakistani culture, Pakistani history and society. Talking about history, Anam said that Pakistanis are taught wrong facts. She also said that Pakistanis are misled by Quaid E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s religion and other historical facts.
Talking about it, she said, “Get your facts right, tell the right history to Pakistani people. Tell that non Muslims came here for education and trade, they were more progressive and worked for Pakistan. Tell them who Jinnah was?.Tell that Pakistan is a secular country. Non Muslims worked here for years for the sake of the welfare of Pakistan. They gave you the railway tracks, they built systems, you have destroyed it. They built roads and infrastructure. Who was Quaid E Azam? He wasn’t Muslim. Sir! he was a Parsi. There are two debates on this, some say, ‘he was Muslim’ and some don’t agree to it. I don’t want to get into this debate but what I just wanted to say that Gonds came to India and Pakistan after Portuguese invasion, they were Christians, so they did work in Pakistan. We have a messed up curriculum. They don’t teach us right history”. Here is the link to the video:
Depression is a disease affecting every third person in our society.

Anam’s own message about bullying has surfaced online. She is seen talking about the psyche of people who do this awful act towards others. This is what Anam thought of bullies:
Mental illnesses are real. A very young soul succumbed to it. If anyone see someone getting bullied, then stand up for them and if you are the ones going through this trauma, be strong and seek help if you have to!

Pakistani dramas revolve around family stories and we get to see several angles of scripts revolving around family drama. The main lead cast always plays a huge role in the drama, whether will be watched by a huge audience or not. But casting is not always great and sometimes we get to see the most absurd pairings that make no sense according to the story lines. Wrong casting also takes away from the show’s impact, which happens a lot in Pakistan.
Age gap casting is pretty common in Pakistan. 40 and 50+ men playing lead characters opposite women in their 20s. If the story serves this or if the actors work hard to maintain themselves, such pairings work but many times the lead actors end up looking absurd. Let’s analyze Pakistani dramas age gap romances of 2024:
Danish Taimoor & Laiba Khan
Danish Taimoor is a bankable star and all his dramas end up getting ratings and views even if there is no content. This year he did a project titled Teri Chhaon Mein. The show was average and he starred opposite content creator and debutant Laiba Khan. The age gap between the two actors is a lot and unfortunately it was visible in the drama. They lacked any chemistry and looked awkward as a couple. This was one casting choice that shows how Pakistani dramas do not know how to do casting.
Danish Taimoor & Komal Meer
Danish Taimoor was once again in a casting this year which made no sense even on paper. He shared the screen with Komal Meer in Rah e Junoon. They were both again shown as the same age and it did not look good on the screen. Danish is talented and fit but Komal looks way younger than him. This was once again a pairing that could have been better. Another Pakistani dramas age gap casting gone wrong.
Fahad Mustafa & Hania Aamir
Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir broke records in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. They are two stars with a huge age gap and on paper did not seem like a good pairing. But the work put in by the team made them look incredible together. Fahad Mustafa had lost weight and he also styled himself in a younger look. Hania on the other hand was styled in a mature manner and this made them look great together. This is a lesson for Pakistani dramas makers on how to make age gap casting in romances look good.
Faysal Quraishi & Durefishan Saleem
Faysal Quraishi and Durefishan Saleem were cast opposite each other in the thriller drama Khaie. Now this is what actually makes sense. The two actors were shown to have a huge age gap in the story and the casting thus makes total sense. This is how you should cast actors with a huge age gap when the script actually demands it and not everything is done according to followers and views.
Nauman Ijaz & Hareem Farooq
Nauman Ijaz and Hareem Farooq became the most vicious duo of Pakistani dramas this year. TT and Masooma received a lot of hate but the actors received appreciation for such a great portrayal. This is another age gap romance with the right casting. Bismil was about two people with a generation gap who get married in a dubious manner. Thus Hareem and Nauman’s age gap looked good because it was according to the demand of the story.
Khushhal Khan & Ramsha Khan
Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan have a small age gap in real life and the two starred opposite each other in Duniyapur. The stars actually worked on their looks in the drama and they are looking incredible. This is a good choice by the makers when we have a leading lady who is a few years older than the leading man. Otherwise we just keep getting 50 year olds with 20 year old women. Ramsha and Khushhal have been great together on screen.
Kubra Khan & Ali Raza
Kubra Khan and Ali Raza appeared together in Noor Jaan. This is another good change in the industry where a younger man was cast with the top leading lady. This is also a testament to how a strong story and good performances overshadow such concerns. Fans were not too happy with the casting early on when Noor Jahan aired but they ended up loving the couple later on.
Usman Mukhtar & Sehar Khan
This Jafaa pairing had to have an age gap according to the story but Usman did not look good with Sehar. The pairing looked off as Usman did not put in much effort in his looks in the show. Sehar looked way too young opposite him and this is not how age gap romances should be done.
Danial Afzal Khan & Aina Asif
This casting in Woh Ziddi Di is nothing short of criminal. Aina Asif is a good actress but she is still a minor and she is already playing such mature roles without any reason. An older girl would have been so much better in the role. Aina is way too young and she did not look good with Danial Afzal Khan. Pakistani dramas need to do better in casting when they work with child actors.
Ahad Raza Mir & Dananeer Mobeen
Ahad Raza Mir and Dananeer Mobeen are working together in Meem Se Mohabbat. The story does demand an age gap between the leads and thus the casting is okay. However, till now we have very much of a cousin/sibling vibe from the lead pair and it may get better in the upcoming episodes.
Pakistani dramas need to do better for the most part while casting leads in age gap romances and should not cast actors with huge age gaps when the script does not demand it and the difference is starkly visible!
“Mayi Ri” is a soap serial that airs on ARY Digital and has garnered massive viewership. In the producer’s own words, it promised to “highlight the rotten fabric of society. Child marriage is an issue that is prevalent in our society and “Mayi Ri” depicts it beautifully”. This soap will soon be hitting the 50-episode mark and recently it has sparked a profound and unprecedented debate about the highly sensitive and tabooed issue of forced child marriages. The main reason for this debate is the main plot of the drama. The story revolves around young teenagers who are forced to enter into a Nikkah by their families and now they are expecting their first child. The main issue here is the way all of these things have been presented on-screen. What is even more surprising is that “Mayi Ri” continues to be one of the most viewed dramas and there are plenty of people out there who are actually justifying the plot. Let’s talk about the reasons for the popularity of the drama and the reasons why some people are justifying forced child marriages!
Different Kinds of Viewers
Most of the viewers tuned into “Mayi Ri” initially because they were under the impression that this drama would create awareness about the deeply troubling issue of child marriage. Since this is one of those complex social issues that aren’t addressed in dramas most of the viewers were inquisitive about what “Mayi Ri” had to offer. Those viewers who started watching the drama with this state of mind they were looking forward to witnessing how the writer would show the complex consequences of forced child marriage. These would include the loss of education, health risks, and issues related to mental health.
There are obviously plenty of those viewers as well who watch dramas only for entertainment purposes and they find the entire discussion about dramas being a tool for change absurd, Therefore, many such viewers tune into soap serials and turn out to be the ones who make or break these dramas.
Loyal Fans vs. the Critics
Viewers who started watching the drama with the above-mentioned mindset were disappointed when they realized that “Mayi Ri” failed to highlight the issues related to child marriage, especially with reference to mental health and other consequences related to the children involved. However, there are many others who continue to not only watch the drama but also praise it because of its pace and storyline. Such viewers obviously don’t see child marriage as an issue. Many of them give religious reasons for the mindset.
The loyal fans of the drama also hold the perspective that portraying Fakhir, the male lead character, as a mature and responsible husband was a commendable decision made by the drama makers. This viewpoint stands in stark contrast to the opinions of those who oppose this series for glorifying forced child marriage. Some of these fans are also those viewers who do not analyze the content of dramas and watch them purely as an entertainment medium.
Daily Episodes – a Contributing Factor
Another major reason for the massive viewership of this soap is the combination of daily episodes and shocking plot twists. This effectively creates a sense of addiction for the viewers. Because of the fact that this drama airs every single day of the week, most viewers find themselves completely invested in the world of “Mayi Ri.” They are eager to uncover the next surprising revelation or unravel the consequences of the latest dramatic turn of events. This engagement often extends beyond just passive viewership, with fans discussing the show’s developments with friends and family, participating in online forums, and speculating about future plot twists. This daily broadcasting strategy coupled with controversial or shocking turns in the story has always worked wonders for the producers.
Social Media Discussions
Social media platforms have become virtual arenas where viewers dissect, debate, and speculate on the latest developments in dramas. “Mayi Ri” has been in the limelight ever since the 10th episode when Ainee and Fakhir entered into a Nikkah. While many of the viewers have been criticizing the plot, it has given rise to curiosity and has added to the popularity of the drama. The producers have strategically harnessed the power of controversy. They have used unbelievable plot twists and shock-inducing moments to sustain and amplify these discussions. This deliberate approach has been instrumental in keeping the buzz surrounding the show alive. The producers clearly believe that no publicity is bad publicity.
The Tapestry of Interpretations
It is a fact that a significant portion of the viewers perceive “Mayi Ri” as a realistic portrayal of certain cultural norms, particularly those related to child marriage. These Viewers believe that the narrative of the drama does not deviate from an accurate representation of the circumstances under which child marriages take place. In their perspective, “Mayi Ri” neither sensationalizes nor distorts the practice of child marriage, but rather, it is viewed as a true reflection of social dynamics.
Such viewers argue that the series does not glorify or endorse child marriage but instead, endeavors to shed light on the complexities surrounding it. From their standpoint, “Mayi Ri” serves as a platform for raising awareness and initiating discussions about the subject.
Defending Forced Child Marriage: Why?
A significant portion of individuals who do not perceive child marriage as a problem often cite religion as their primary justification for supporting it. Somehow such viewers forget that Islam lays significant emphasis on the concept of mutual consent in the context of marriage; especially the girl’s consent is of utmost importance. This principle goes to prove that both individuals entering into the marital contract should willingly agree to it, without any form of coercion or pressure. Since such discussions are often termed taboo, most people do not even want to engage in them. That is exactly what the drama makers want. Ainee and Fakhir are not just underage but they were forced into this marriage as well.
Ultimately, the debate surrounding child marriage and religion is complex. It entails respectful dialogue, cultural sensitivity, and efforts to balance religious freedom with the protection of children’s rights. It is also one of those discussions which depends heavily on an individual’s own point of view.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, “Mayi Ri” attracts a diverse array of viewers, each holding contrasting viewpoints. While some viewers find the show’s portrayal of child marriage realistic and non-problematic, there are also those who find this portrayal flawed and insensitive. The debate surrounding “Mayi Ri’s” impact and message on child marriage continues to be a subject of heated discussion among its viewers. These diverse opinions make the debate surrounding “Mayi Ri’s” subject matter and its impact on society more complex. This debate has definitely helped highlight the importance of critical reflection on the portrayal of sensitive subjects in dramas. The real question is, are our drama makers paying attention?
Those viewers who expected this drama to discourage child marriage and ultimately contribute to the collective efforts aimed at eradicating child marriage from the fabric of society definitely do not have enough to hold on to! But those who tuned into this drama for entertainment purposes and find the circumstances shown in the drama relatable are definitely going to be watching this one till the end. At the end of the day, both sets of viewers contribute to the drama’s ratings which obviously matter more than anything else to the producers and the channel.
