Atiqa Odho, a veteran Pakistani television and film actress, recently made headlines after calling out actor Ali Raza for frequently flaunting his hairy chest in the drama serial Dastak. She remarked, “Wear whatever you want, but just don’t show your hairy chest — it’s off-putting and doesn’t look good.” She even went on to offer him salon services.

Atiqa Odho’s comments quickly went viral on social media, and now Iqtidar fame actor Ali Raza has responded with a cheeky comeback. He posted recent pictures wearing an ivory or off-white sleeveless sweater with a bright red heart sticker on it. He captioned it, “I hope they won’t have any problem with the sleeveless shirt — after the hairy chest.” Here are the pictures shared by Ali:

Ali Raza’s fans are loving his playful response to Atiqa Odho, though a few still agree with her opinion. One fan commented, “Chest hair is normal — it’s what makes a man look like a man. Don’t take comments from a middle-aged auntie too seriously. Just do what feels right for you.” Another fan wrote, “People are always going to have a problem no matter what you do or wear, even if you’re covered from head to toe… You do you. Everything else is just noise.” One user added, “We don’t have any issue with your hairy chest, sleeveless shirts, or even you being shirtless.” However, not everyone agreed. One social media user said, “Atiqa Odho is right — seeing a hairy chest is quite a disgusting feeling.” Another critic wrote, “Fame has gotten to your head. You’re one-hit wonders — and that too a copy of another show”. Read the comments:

Ali Raza is a new actor who is the talk of the town after giving blockbusters like Noor Jahan, Iqtidar and Duniyapur. The actor is also appearing in Dastak and he is gradually picking up good scripts that are winning the audience. He just sat down for an interview with FilmFare India and spoke about his journey, how he picks his scripts and his Bollywood wishlist.

Ali Raza revealed that he has grown up watching Bollywood films. He loves Akshay Kumar comedies and he has seen many other OTT Indian shows with Mirzapur being his absolute favourite. The star also spoke about the on-going resumption in cross-border collaborations. He also shared one Bollywood star he wishes to work with.

Ali Raza shared that he would not be the one to decide who he will work with if he ever works in Bollywood. He feels he will eventually get an opportunity but he wishes to one day work with Alia Bhatt as he loves how she acts and he has seen her work. Thus he would love to share screen with her.

This is what Ali Raza had to say:

Jaan e Jahan was the comeback project of Hamza Ali Abbasi and it had a great run on television. The drama was loved by many and all the characters got their due from the audience. Ali Raza who is currently playing Shahnawaz Shah in Iqtidar was nearly a part of Jaan e Jahan as well. The actor revealed the information on Something Haute.

Ali Raza shared that he was offered to play the second lead which he did not take on as he had already signed for Noor Jahan. The character was later on played by Emmad Irfani and he was appreciated for the role. This is what Ali revealed:

Ali Raza also spoke about miscasting in dramas. He said that he has seen dramas where the hero and heroine are not complimenting each other. Some leading men are too tall and the actresses do not look like they are matching up to them on screen and the frame consequently does not look nice.

This is what he said:

Ali Raza is the latest sensation in the drama industry. His roles in dramas like Duniyapur and Noor Jahan put him on the map while Iqtidar has cemented his place as a star. He is receiving a lot of love for playing Shahnawaz Shah and fans are looking forward to his upcoming choices in scripts.

Ali Raza was a guest on Gup Shab and shared his inspiration in acting. He said that he is not really inspired by anyone in Pakistan but if he has to take a name, it will be Fahad Mustafa. He loves Fahad Mustafa’s aura. The star also revealed that he likes many people in Bollywood. He earlier named Alia Bhatt and he also likes Ranveer Singh and his fashion sense.

This is what he shared:

Ali Raza also shared his admiration for Saba Qamar. He said that he is a big fan of hers. Ali worked with her in the mini-seies Gunah and he still admires how she performs on screen.

Listen to what he said:

Ali Raza is doing great in his career. Starting from supporting characters, he has played significant roles in dramas like Noor Jahan and Duniyapur and now he is playing a solo lead in Iqtidar which is viral nowadays for the chemistry between Shahnawaz Shah and Mehru.

The actor has great on-screen chemistry with all his on screen mothers. He was the best son for his Nooroo Mama in Noor Jahan and now again in Iqtidar he has a great wavelength with Saman Shah played by Rubina Ashraf. In an interview with Something Haute, he shared his bond with his own mother and her role in his career and the projects he chooses.

He revealed that all the scripts he has done have been chosen by his mother including the critically acclaimed Noor Jahan. His mother has a good eye and she reads all his scripts. She also sends him the one-liners and if she approves of a story, he signs it. Till now she has chosen some great scripts for her son.

This is what he shared:

Ali Raza reveals he got an offer from Yash Raj Films. The actor has just started out in Pakistan and he is slowly making waves. His work was noticed in Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri, Noor Jahan and Duniyapur. Nowadays his drama Iqtidar is getting good views and ratings. He is a newcomer and he is learning the craft from the best and showing his talent in every new project.

The actor spoke to the media at his drama Iqtidar’s press junket. He was speaking to Miss Dramatic and spoke about how he was approached by YRF and they asked him for an audition. He revealed that he was approached through YRF’s casting on Instagram and they wanted him to do an audition on a Ranbir Kapoor scene from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

He recorded and sent them the audition which they liked. Later on they asked him to book his flight from Kolkatta. That is when he said that he is from Lahore and he is a Pakistani. This was a disappointment for both sides and they told him that they would consider him if they ever shot something overseas.

This is what Ali Raza shared:

Ali Raza is quite the phenomenon right now after the massive success of his drama Iqtidar. he is also appearing in dastak now and fans want to see more of him on their screens. The star was a guest on a podcast Apollo Talks and spoke about his journey, lessons he has learnt and advice he would like to give others who are making way in the industry.

The actor has a fun journey from making his family understand his ambitions, starting out as a model and make conscious choices to succeed as an actor. He also shared that he once had a very endearing encounter with none other than cricket star Shahid Afridi and what he learnt from that experience.

Ali Raza revealed that he once met Shahid Afridi at his institution and he was star struck. He wanted to take a picture with him and asked him for a selfie. Shahid Afridi obliged but Ali Raza’s phone stopped working. He felt bad and Afridi not only took a selfie with him with his own phone but also sent it to him via Whatsapp.

Ali said that Shahid Afridi made is day and also taught him how to respect your fans and earn their love. Here is how the interesting encounter went:

Ali Raza is doing some great work right now. He was a force to be reckoned with in Noor Jahan where he played Murad and mesmerized his fans in Dunyapur in a very short character. He is also a part of Green TV’s Iqtidar where he is getting millions of views and his chemistry with co-star Anmol Baloch is appreciated.

The actor was a guest on Mazaq Raat and he was asked who he would choose between wife and mother if it comes to it. Ali said that people generally love to watch dramas where a man chooses his wife but he is a very balanced person. He would choose what is right and he will stand with the right person.

Here is what he said:

He also spoke about a painful relationship that he was in. He said that he was once in a one sided love and the other person knew about his feelings. They still kept hurting him and mocking his feelings. Thus, you should not express your feelings if you are in one-sided love.

Listen to his thoughts:

Ali Raza is a new actor who has performed some diverse characters in a relatively short period of time. He was recently seen as the beloved Murad of his Nooroo Mama in the drama Noor Jahan. Noor Jahan was a big hit and every character got praises including Murad which was played by Ali Raza.

Ali was a guest on Fuchsia Magazine and he spoke about his career trajectory, Noor Jahan’s success, his upcoming drama Dunyapur and his opinion on life and relationships. He shared what he likes in a girl and the list is here for all his fans. The first thing he notices is how she looks at you as one can gauge emotions through eyes. He also wants the girl to be respectful as he finds that quality to be very important in a woman.

Here is what he said:

Ali also spoke about modern day male and female friendships. He said that he cannot understand these equations as men and women can be friends but nowadays, these friendships are much more. They will hang out together all the time and there will not be any boundaries. He added that he has many female friends but he draws boundaries, he will never touch them or make the men in their lives feel insecure.

This is what he shared:

Ali Raza is a young star who has become a household name after his drama Iqtidar became a massive hit. He has given strong performances in dramas Noor Jahan, Duniyapur and Iqtidar. His fans are looking forward to his new projects. He will soon feature opposite Kinza Hashmi and he has now signed another star-studded project.

Hina Afridi will be featuring opposite Ali Raza in the drama. She has just tied the knot while her on-air drama Ghulam Badshah Sundari is doing well on YouTube and television. She has joined the cast of this upcoming drama titled Mirza Ki Heer.

Zahid Ahmed has also joined the cast of Mirza Ki Heer. He just featured in the hard-hitting Dil Dhoondta Hai Phir Wohi and now he will be seen in a commercial project.

Mirza Ki Heer is written by Zeeshan Junaid. It is being directed by none other than Aehsun Talish who has given two big hits: Sher and Sharpasand. The drama will air on ARY Digital.

Mirza Ki Heer is another highly anticipated drama for 2026 and fans will be looking forward to Ali Raza and Zahid Ahmed face-off!

It will be unfair not to mention the name of Ali Noor when we talk about music who took the music industry to another level with his melodious and harmonious voice. In 1996 when he started his music career by generating Noori band no one knew that this man will rule the music industry for so long. He was passionate and fond of singing since his Childhood because of opening eyes into the musical family. He got married to beautiful Mandana Zaidi. They are blessed with a daughter Sanjana and son Azad Noor.

Ali Noor and his family were recently spotted at “Shan-e-Sahoor” show as celebrity guests. Let’s have a look on some of the adorable family pictures of Ali Noor from the set of Shan-e-Sahoor.

Ali Noor is the singer of the former band Noori and he has been accused of sexual harassment by singer Maha Ali Kazmi. Maha Ali Kazmi took to Instagram and shared her side of the story. She said that she went for an audition on the Coke Studio where she met Ali Noor who allegedly sabotaged her audition. She also said that Ali Noor asked her to come and meet him in Lahore so he could help mould her talent. She and her husband met with Ali later and he made inappropriate advances against her. maha said that she will never do anything so tainted for her career and she is exposing Ali.

This is what Maha had written about Ali on her Instagram:

Ali Noor has been accused of inappropriate behaviour before by a journalist and he had apologized then citing mental health issues. He kept quite for a few days after Maha’s allegations.

He has now denied all allegations and sent a defamation notice to Maha Ali Kazmi which he also posted on his social media. here is Ali’s statement:

Here is what the netizens have to say after this latest development:

If you think Chinaar Ghaati is an unusual name for a drama, you are absolutely correct. The thing is, the drama doesn’t boast an unusual name only, but also a very different kind of a theme,an intriguing cast and a gripping plot.

It will air on TV One after Eid 2017 and is about two different eras. The story flips between past and present and is said to be totally different to our saas-bahu sagas or one man-three women and vice versa dramas.

Ali Noor of the world famous Noori is making his acting debut with this drama. The musician and singer is going to be one of the pivotal characters of the play.

Others include Dino Ali, Anoushey, Tipu Shareef and Alyy Khan. It will be Dino Ali’s acting debut as well, about which the DJ says that he had always wanted to act, but a good role had never come his way earlier.

Anoushey was all praises for the uniqueness of the drama and told that the shooting was full of laughter and jokes for all of us.

Chinaar Ghaati also brings director Ghazanfar Ali after a long time. The story starts with advertising agency friends who are on a work location. One of them gets lost there and the rest set on a journey full of surprises to bring him back. The lost guy’s experiences earlier eras. This is a supernatural story bound to keep audiences sitting on the edges of their seats in suspense.

Ali Noor of the band Noori has a huge fan following and is loved by millions. People were shocked when the news broke out about his ill health and appeals were made for a liver donation.

Ali Noor suffered an intense bout of Hepatitis A yesterday and he went in acute liver failure. He was immediately hospitalized and appeals were made for the need of a donor. Friends, family, colleagues and fans were all in severe shock and everyone was praying for Noor. His brother Ali Hamza the other half of Noori has now updated that he is now recovering well:

A lot of prayers for Ali Noor from our side. May he recover well soon!

Ali Noor is a very famous singer from Pakistan. He was the one half of iconic band Noori and the band gave some of the best and most evergreen songs as the band performed together for years. Ali Noor has always been famous and people in the industry have known him for his own style of music, performance and his unique temperament.

Ali Noor has gone through some sexual harassment allegations in his life sometime back. A young artist came forward with these allegations and many other people were also agreeing with the artist. Ali Noor got a lot of backlash and many people called him out after the allegations happened. Ali also lost a lot of work after this news went viral.

Ali Noor was a guest on Ahmad Ali Butt’s podcast and he addressed the harassment allegations openly. He shared that he is such an easy going person and women have always felt safe with him. He has an aura where women feel safe with him without making him their brother. Thus, when these allegations came on, he was flustered. He handled this in his own way and it took him time to realize that everyone was pulling away from him. Ali Noor is thankful though, that he has nothing to do with commercialism anymore.

This is what he said:

Ali Ki Ammi (علی کی امی) is a new drama on Geo Tv starting from 16th November at 8 pm.
Ali Ki Ammi is based on a real life story, as the title suggests, this serial is a story of a mother and a son, and how a woman travels a journey of hardships. The inventive and creative taglines are always a part of Geo TV marketing plan and here the tagline is “Aurat Kamzor Ho Sakti Hai Magar Aik Maan Nahin” (how emotional!). Har Pal Haseen Hai Har Pal Geo

Cast: Samiya Mumtaz,Asad Malik,Zainab Qayoom (ZQ),Niama Khan,Nasreen Querishi,Raheela Agha ,Asim Mahmood,Farhana Maqsood,Ali Anjum

From promos it is evident that that the play is nothing but like “old wine in a new bottle”. The drama surely follows the entertainment policy of Geo Tv which revolves around sob-fest stories, malika jazbaat characters, oppression against females, saas-bahu stuff, doosri shaadi/talaq and Indian content.

Pakistani actor Ali Kazmi is going to be part of the crew which will represent a movie that has been nominated in the best international film category for the 2021 Oscars.

The film ‘Funny Boy’ has been nominated for Best International Feature Film Category 2021. The film is based on the best-selling 1994 coming-of-age novel by Canadian-Sri Lankan author Shyam Selvadurai.

The story revolves around sexual awakenings of a young boy named Arjie during political tensions between Tamil and Sinhalese.

Ali Kazmi has played the role of the boy’s father and he learnt several new languages including Tamil, Sinhalese and Colombo English accent.

Ali Kazmi shared,”Coming of age, Family, politics, sexuality, love in strange times and circumstances set in the 70s and 80s but even more relevant today. It’s a film based on the critically acclaimed novel “Funny boy”, it’s relevancy transcends time, race, religion and cultures. It puts up a mirror to reflect the human condition. It takes a lot of hard work, literal blood sweat and tears to bring a film to life and I’m so proud to be a part of this one’s journey! There’s nothing Funny about #Funnyboy!”

“The other actors are From Srilanka, India, Canada, England and the USA! I’m the only Pakistani and that too, a lead in the film playing the Appa – the father of Funny Boy!” he added.

Funny Boy is produced by David Hamilton and Hussain Amarshi and has been shot in Srilanka. The theme on which the film is based upon is quite rare because we have hardly seen any queer Tamil story and struggle with Tamil identity in a single film.

Ali Kazmi is a superb Pakistani television and film actor who is admired for his brilliant acting skills. His notable films include Baaji, Motorcycle Girl, and Dobara Phir Se. His most popular dramas are Baaghi, Badnam, Jaal, Jackson Heights, Sehra Main Safar, Moray Saiyaan, Tu Ishq Hai, and others. The actor lives in Canada with his parents, Rahat Kazmi and Sahira Kazmi, who ruled PTV with their iconic dramas as actors and producers.

A few days ago, Ali was in Pakistan when he informed fans that he has plans to celebrate his father’s 81st birthday with him back home. Now, the actor has posted a cute picture with his father, Rahat Kazmi, and his sister, Nida Kazmi from Canada. Rahat Kazmi’s both kids accompanied him on his birthday. He can be seen smiling in the photo. Ali Kazmi wished his father, writing, “Happy 81st birthday to Abba — one of the wisest and best humans I know. Thank you for everything.” Watch Ali Kazmi’s story:

Fans are extending love and best wishes to the actor and his family. Many got excited to see his recent picture. One Indian fan wrote, “Truly a legend. Allah bless him. Regards from Kashmir , India”. Another stated, “My first crush , I was 9 when I first saw him in dhoop kinaray , he was awesome.” Another wrote, “Happy birthday Sir! A very talented n educated artist Read a few comments:

Here are Ali Kazmi’s throw back pictures with his father:

Ali Kazmi is over the moon and he should be because his animated film The Breadwinner has been nominated for the Oscars 2018. Produced by Angelina Jolie, The Breadwinner is a story of an Afghan girl who cuts her hair after her father’s arrest to become the breadwinner for her family. It was critically acclaimed on its release and Ali plays the voice actor for the character Darya. Ali shared the news with delight on his Instagram:

Best of luck Ali for this nomination!

The saying “Old is Gold” often proves to be true. There are many senior actors in our industry who have served the industry for a while but where they felt that now their work could fluctuate even one percent. They either backed away or they turned their attention to something else. Rahat Kazmi’s voice addicts are still under the influence of any other voice.

People never understand this but his son Ali Kazmi gave him courage and recorded his voice for a brand commercial, and Ali Kazmi was given this courage by actress Ushna Shah.

Ali Kazmi while sharing some glimpse from the commercial mentioned that “My Father gave me the greatest gift one anyone could give, he believed in me. As the circle of life continues I had to give him the belief he needed, he felt his voice would not be the same and was reluctant because they belong to the greatest golden generation where they believed in honesty and credibility in ones work and at any age are worried about what they deliver to the audience.”

“So now you decide how he did :) This humble, awe-inspiring human and performer, Is a true Gentleman and Scholar, my hero, my mentor for life and the man I am Honored to call my baba. This is the BTS and a piece from the latest Domex TVC, which has been directed beautifully and has a wonderful message. Narration for Domex TVC”, added Ali Kazmi.

Ali Kazmi is the son of veteran actors Rahat and Sahira Kazmi. We best know him from Jackson Heights, where he played Sikandar, an abusive husband. Viewers loathed Sikandar and that says a lot about Ali Kazmi’s convincing performance. Currently, we can see him in Sehra Mein Safar on HUMTV.

It is revealed that Ali Kazmi is currently shooting for the television prequel of The Taken trilogy by Liam Neeson. Talking to Dawn Images, he shared, ”I play Marzoki, a fast talking, sharp, quirky analyst,” He explained that the Taken TV series will explore the character of Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson – one of my favourite actors) in great detail.

“I am proud to be a part of the main cast. I play one of the good guys, no ridiculous casting or dressing. I’m really ecstatic to be representing South Asians in a good light and I’m happy that NBC is taking bigger and better steps for more diverse smart casting! The world is full of so many colours, why not the casting for TV, so it’s a step in the right direction.”
Talking to Express Tribune, Kazmi speaks about his selection, “It was a coveted role to bag. I returned from working on Dobara Phir Se and sent my tapes and they loved it. The director, Alex Graves has previously worked on The Newsroom, West Wing and Game of Thrones. For him to choose me for the role was a big deal.”

We wish him all the best for his projects!

Ali Kazmi is a versatile Pakistani television and film actor known for his films like Baaji, Motorcycle Girl and Dobra Phir Se. His notable dramas are Baaghi, Badnam, Jaal, Jackson Heights, Sehra Main Safar, Moray Saiyan, Jaal, Tu Ishq Hai and others. The actor lives in Canada with his parents and family. He is the son of popular Pakistani senior actors and producers Rahat Kazmi and Sahira Kazmi.

Recently, Ali Kazmi gave a short interview to Ambreen Fatima. In the interview, he talked about his parents. Ali also requested fans to keep his parents in prayers.

Talking about it, Ali said, “I don’t post about my parents on social media because they aren’t on it. If you truly love someone, you spend time with them. Like, my father is turning 80 on June 30th, so I will make sure to spend time with him. Please pray for my parents.”

He further added, “My father looks strict, but he isn’t like that. Although my grandfather was very strict with my father, he didn’t allow my father to become an artist but after he completed his law degree — he fought for it and pursued his career as artists” Here is the link to the video:

He also added, “May Allah always keep my parents happy. My mother has never been strict with me — my sister always complains that she is too lenient with me. Our parents have taught us so much; they always maintained open dialogue with us and never stopped us from doing anything. They always preached humanity and pure-heartedness, and taught us to work with sheer honesty.”

Ali Hyderabadi is a famous Pakistani Tiktoker with a massive following of 21 million on the social media application Tiktok. The Tiktoker got married in March 2023 and his wedding pictures went viral on social media. Fans loved Ali Hyderabadi’s wife and sent best wishes to the couple.

Today, a video of Ali Hyderabadi divorcing his wife circulated on social media. In the video Ali could be seen divorcing his wife and saying he won’t see his wife again. Wife in the video came towards husband after which the video was turned off. His wife later accused Ali of fracturing her finger.

Ali Hyderabadi has now come up with his side of the story after his ex-wife’s allegations. He was holding Quran e Pak in his hand and denied all the allegations of physical abuse on his ex.

Ali Hyderabadi said, “Assalamu Alaikum. I am Ali Hyderabadi. This is my first and last video. First of all, I did not want to speak about this topic because it is a family matter. However, when I saw videos being made against me and false statements being given by Zainab—such as the claim that I broke her finger—I felt compelled to respond. Look, the divorce-related video that has gone viral clearly shows that I did not hit her. I recorded that video because I feared that one day she would use some video against me and try to blackmail me. I am holding the Holy Quran, and I swear I am telling the truth: I did not hit her.”

He further added, “Secondly, in the video you can see that, towards the end, they were trying to grab my mobile phone because I was recording the video and leaving with it. Why? Because they had already packed my belongings—you can probably see my clothes, shopping bags, and other items on the floor. The truth is that before the video even started, they had already decided to throw me out of the house. Yes, I was living in their home, but they had invited me to stay there. I had rented houses before—a five-marla house—but she did not want to live there. Then I rented a flat, and she still did not want to stay. I wanted to take her to Hyderabad, but she refused to go. I kept doing everything according to her wishes. During these three years, we had many arguments like this.Now I am being accused of threatening her. I am holding the Holy Quran and saying that I never threatened her, nor did I break her finger. This is a family matter, and I did not want to make it public, but she posted these videos. I honestly cannot say anything except that I never expected her to stoop to this level. I respect all institutions. If any authority calls me, I am fully prepared to provide evidence.” Watch here:
