Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani are the hottest couple in town. They fell in love when they were college mates and worked on several projects. Their wedding just took place, and they received so much love and blessings worldwide. The couple also starred in another drama, Agar Tum Saath Ho, alongside Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz, which started airing after their wedding.
Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani’s fans were ecstatic to see them again after their marriage, but the show overall has been a huge disappointment. The story has so many loopholes, and the performances are also weak. This was not something that fans had signed up for after watching these two in dramas like Neem and Sabaat. Agar Tum Saath Ho did not manage to impress the audience.
The internet is speaking about this. One user said, “The potential of both Mawra and Ameer has been wasted.” Another added, “Mawra probably signed this for Ameer.” A user said, “The story and performances are both garbage.” This is what the internet thinks:

One said, “When Maleeha gave justifications herself, no one believed her. But when they saw the letter, they instantly believed it without question.” Another fan shared, “Mohid and Rohaam were not entirely positive characters. Both showed their true colors to Maleeha. May Allah protect women from such men.” One fan concluded, “Overall, I liked the drama and Rohaam’s character, and just because of this character, Ae Dil topped the TRP charts.” A few believed that Mohid didn’t deserve a sad ending. A few fans were also inquisitive about the text written in the secret letter. Read the comments here:
Atiqa Odho is a senior Pakistani television and film actress known for her hit projects like Humsafar, Nijat, Sitara Aur Mehrunnisa, Besharam, Dasht, Dao, Pyar Kay Sadqay and others. She is currently appearing in Express TV’s drama serial Paradise. Besides this, Atiqa Odho is co-hosting 24 News HD’s TV review show Kya Drama Hai where she often expresses her views on latest happenings.
Recently, she talked about the role of soft image ambassadors during the times like wars and conflicts.
Talking about it, Atiqa Odho said, “Unfortunately, our soft image ambassadors—like poets, actors, musicians, singers, writers, and others—are dragged into this. Please don’t do that. They are here to spread love and culture; they are here to unite people. You can’t put them under such scrutiny. We don’t say these things to doctors or lawyers, so why do we curse our actors for this? My appeal to artists on both sides is: spread love, not hate. Your role is to create harmony.”
Atiqa Odho’s statement about artists role during the war is receiving severe public backlash. Fans are angry at Atiqa Odho for showing a lack of patriotism at a time when Pakistani civilians were attacked by India in the middle of the night. One fan commented, “These actors have no idea how much hate Indian celebrities showed towards Pakistan during the war.” An actor also called out Atiqa Odho, writing, “There was a war going on, and we had so many Shahadats (martyrdoms), yet all Indian actors and actresses were speaking against Pakistan. It was not a normal situation—Pakistan was unnecessarily dragged into it.” Another remarked, “She seems out of her mind. Doesn’t she know every Indian celebrity spoke against Pakistan? Yet she still has to lick their boots.” One user added, “Share culture and love with whom? With those who violate our sovereignty, disrespect our cultural ambassadors as they please, and kill our children? No thank you!” Read the comments here:

Talking about the popularity of AVM Aurangzeb, Tazeen Hussain said, “He is not just attractive and charming. Not to put anybody’s efforts down, obviously they fought with bravery— hats off to them— but having said that, we, as a nation, are lacking in heroes and people who can take things on their own or take a charge and sort things out. That has triggered the reaction in us. We lack heroism, basically. We have very few figures. There is so much demotivation and disappointment, so anybody who takes the lead, gets all the praise.” Here is the link to the video:
Pakistani stars have been a driving force in sharing Pakistan’s side in the ongoing Pakistan-India conflict. The two countries have been at odds for decades now. Previously, we have seen how India would blame Pakistan for everything that goes wrong inside their borders, and Pakistani artists have always advocated for peace. This time around, things changed when our artists condemned the deaths in Pahalgam. They once again propagated peace, but they did not allow India to blame us. The stars stood up for Pakistan and defended their country with full force.
Here is a list of Pakistani stars who did not shy away from calling out Indian aggression. They do stand for peace, but they did not allow another country to blame their homeland:
Shaan Shahid
Shaan Shahid is a prominent Pakistani star known for his unwavering and assertive stance on issues about Pakistan. As a superstar in the Pakistani film industry, he has received countless offers from Bollywood over the years, yet he has firmly rejected every one of them. Shaan stands resolutely against the notion of any Pakistani actor working in India, engaging in a public confrontation with Ali Zafar, who was thriving in Bollywood at the time. He strongly believes that Indians fail to respect Pakistan and its artists, advocating instead for the elevation of our film industry rather than pursuing opportunities across the border. Recently, he reiterated his bold stance, calling out Indian aggression and highlighting their pettiness.
Faysal Quraishi
Faysal Quraishi is considered one of the biggest and most versatile stars in Pakistan. He has a large global following and consistently captivates audiences with his performances. The actor quickly stood up for Pakistan in response to Indian aggression, criticizing the jingoistic behavior of certain Indian celebrities. He expressed gratitude for the freedom to voice his opinions in his own country and was shocked by how some Indian stars openly celebrated the deaths of innocent children.
Mawra Hocane
Mawra Hocane is a prominent Pakistani star who has also worked in Bollywood. She recently went viral again after her film Sanam Teri Kasam was re-released and became a hit—an unusual occurrence. She received praise from both Bollywood stars and audiences alike. Despite this success, the actress did not hesitate to express her support for her country when Pakistan was targeted by India. She was even personally criticized by her co-star Harshvardhan Rane, but she responded strongly, stating that her country and peace take precedence over any public relations or film promotion.
Bilal Abbas Khan
Bilal Abbas Khan is another Pakistani star with a huge fan following in India. With Ishq Murshid, he cemented a place in the hearts of the Indian audience. The actor did not let that stop him from speaking for his country. Bilal Abbas Khan was among the stars who called out India’s Israel style attack the very first night it happened. He did not worry about losing his Indian followers and said what was needed to be said.
Mahira Khan
Mahira Khan is a prominent Pakistani actress who has represented her country on the international stage. With a strong portfolio of dramas, films, and Netflix series, she has made a significant mark in the entertainment industry. Her Bollywood debut in Raees, alongside Shah Rukh Khan, showcased her talent. Unfortunately, due to the intolerant environment created by Hindutva extremism in India, she couldn’t promote the film or appear at its release.
Mahira often praises her collaborators and appreciates her team. While she is celebrated in India, she is also outspoken in her support for Pakistan. She has condemned Hindutva extremism and shared her experiences with intolerance. Despite the risk of losing Instagram followers, she stands firmly by her beliefs.
Urwa Hocane
Another Pakistani star who was very open about calling out Indian aggression was Urwa Hocane. The starlet not only called out India for how they were wrongly accusing Pakistan but also went a step ahead and called out her colleagues who were still appeasing India while they were openly putting false accusations against Pakistan and disrespecting Pakistani artists by banning them and their work.
Fahad Mustafa is a superstar of Pakistan. He is another Pakistani actor who recently got a massive following in India. Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum brought him to light for many new fans who were not familiar with his work previously. He is also a producer, and his dramas get views from India on YouTube, but this did not stop him from stating his point of view in the defense of his country. The star called out Indian jingoism and warned them not to try these adventures again.
Javed Sheikh
Javed Sheikh also stood up for Pakistan. He is a Pakistani star who had the longest and most successful career in Bollywood. He is friends with a lot of Indians but that did not stop the actor from being supportive of his country. He also appreciated the way the Pakistani armed forces protected the country. The actor was open, clear and strong in his stance for Pakistan.
Nadia Khan
Nadia Khan is an actress, anchor, and now reviewer. She has been vocal in the defense of Pakistan from the very first day of the conflict. She named names and did not sit back at all. She was very emotional after we lost live,s and she was satisfied when Pakistan Air Fore came up with a befitting response. She even called out superstars like Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who did not speak up for the country. Nadia also exposed the Indian media’s fake propaganda.
Mishi Khan is a vocal Pakistani artist. She always speaks out on social and political issues and this time around she made multiple videos where she not only called out Indian jingoism but also Pakistani celebrities who were trying to be diplomatic.
Minal Khan was among the actresses whose Instagram was available in India longer than the others. She received hate from Indian followers, but she did not back down. The starlet stood up in a rage and called India a killer and Indian celebrities puppets who support the killing of children. She also compared India’s ambitions to those of Israel.
Hira Mani
Hira Mani is another Pakistani star who came in strong while defending Pakistan. She called out Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut on her hateful comments. The actress ended up calling Kangana a lizard and said that she is crying because of PAF’s strong response.
Muneeb Butt
Muneeb Butt is a socially and politically active actor. He shares his political views, and he has always spoken for Pakistan. The night India attacked Pakistan, Muneeb Butt was among the Pakistani stars who condemned it in the strongest words. The actor said that Pakistanis never keep anyone’s debt, and this was proved by the PAF after two days. He also called out Indian celebrities on their jingoism.
Rabya Kulsoom
Rabya Kulsoom is another Pakistani star who not only called out Indian aggression but also Pakistani stars who are always dying to work across the border. She used strong words as she posted that she will be throwing tomatoes at Pakistani stars who will still try to work in Bollywood. She also demanded that a law be made banning Pakistani artists from seeking work in India.
All of these Pakistani stars proudly stood up for their country. Unlike many in India, they rejected jingoism. They championed peace and had no desire to see India erased from the world map. At the same time, they firmly defended their homeland’s honor with conviction and strength.
Anmol Baloch is an actress who has gradually made a place for herself in the industry. She is loved for her beauty and innocence and she always ends up receiving high viewership and ratings for her dramas. Her recently ended Iqtidar was a mega hit and the actress’s fans are waiting for her to make a comeback soon on TV.
Anmol Baloch loves to experiment with fashion and she often shares her new looks with her fans on Instagram. She chose to wear a Barbie pink saari for her latest look with a blingy blouse. She posed and shared clicks with her followers and they have a lot to say.
Anmol is getting criticized by the internet. People are not happy with her blouse choice. One user said, “She is an actress and not a model and she should not show off her body.” Another added, “Shameless. She is wearing her bedroom clothes in public.” One said, “She could have looked good with a decent blouse and makeup.” Here is how public reacted:
Tazeen Hussain is an actress and educator. She took a break from working many years back and focused on her family and teaching. The actress who is the daughter of legendary Talat Hussain has now made a comeback with dramas like Yunhi, Zulm and Qarz e Jaan. She was a widow and recently found love again as she tied the knot with her friend Aamir Syedain.
Tazeen Hussain was a guest on Rafay Mahmood’s podcast and spoke about how she met her now husband. She revealed that her husband is from her friends circle. He actually watched one of her interviews with Fuchsia Magazine and asked their common friend to introduce them. This is how they came together and now they are married.
This is how her real-life love story came about:
Tazeen Hussain also spoke about how old age love stories are now being showcased in dramas and they are accepted by everyone. Her recent role in Qarz e Jaan as Bisma and Bisma’s track with Asim played by Faisal Rehman was widely loved. People were appreciating a mature love story. Tazeen said that she had a similar track in Yunhi where Iqbal finds love at a mature age and producers realized how that track became so famous and there is a market for mature love stories. Thus Qarz e Jaan came by next. She said that producers are now coming to terms with the fact that middle aged viewers also want to see their stories on TV and not just reminisce about the gone days of their youth.
This is how she defined the growing acceptance of mature romance on TV:
Nadeem Baig is among the most successful directors of Pakistan. He has projects like Mere Paas Tum Ho, Jawani Phir Nahi Aani, Punjab Nahin Jaongi, London Nahin Jaunga and Pyare Afzal on his list. He is all set to make his cinema comeback with Love Guru this Eid ul Adha which is one more project that he has shot with Humayun Saeed.
Nadeem Baig was a guest on Gup Shab and he was asked to choose between Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa. He had to pick one for a specific role. The director said that they are both best in their craft and he will actually have to see what the character is for which he is casting them.
The director said that not everyone can do every role thus the character will show who he will choose between the two stars. He added that Humayun Saeed has his own knack and there is no other star like him. Fahad cannot do Main Manto Nahin Hoon while Humayun can. Similarly, only Fahad Mustafa can do a Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Both the stars have their merits.
This is what he said:
Nadeem Baig also spoke about how he never keeps a lot of expectations from the people he introduces in this industry. He does not think that they will now only work with him. He has given a break to many people like he was once given a break to work in this industry. He specifically named Hamza Ali Abbasi who is a great actor and a great human and Nadeem introduced him to mainstream dramas.
Iqra Aziz is one of the most loved stars of the Pakistani drama industry. She is also a mother to a young son. She has been raising Kabir Hussain with beautiful values and she always brings him wherever she goes. The starlet just saw a disturbing video of a parent and made an important comment on it.
Recently a video of a man slapping his son in the DHA Raya of Lahore has gone viral. The scene was captured while two other creators were making a video of themselves. The child looked like he was throwing a tantrum which kids do and his father slapped him in public.
Iqra Aziz shared the video on her story with an important message. She shared that as a desi parent she understands that we can have an urge to slap our child for being too loud or too naughty as we have seen that happen way too often. But we need to break this cycle and no amount of action warrants a physical slap to a child.
The public is also disgusted with how the child was slapped on the face publicly. One user wrote, “Islam does not allow to slap across face. the child should have been disciplined at home.” Another added, “Violence has become a part of our DNA. This is not acceptable.” A netizen commented, “Later these people say that the kid is not taking care of us in old age.” Here is what the internet thinks:
Shakeel Siddiqui is a big name in comedy. He has performed all over the world and his comic timing is what people have always admired. He has worked on television and films and he has done live shows. He is known for his very jolly personality and the way he carries himself. He also had a successful career in India before the artist ban came into effect.
Shakeel Siddiqui was a guest on Mazaq Raat and spoke about how the life of a comedian is. He shared the most heartbreaking performance of his career, the one he still remembers. The star revealed that he was scheduled to perform in the USA when he received the news of his father’s death. Since he had made a commitment, he went on and made people laugh for more than an hour. He later broke down.
The star added that all comedians have been through an experience like this. He thought that so many people have spent money to watch him and he could not let them down, therefore he performed even when he was so sad. These are the sacrifices artists make. They are not to get praise or money. It is just a star who is fulfilling his duty towards his fans.

Fans are quite excited to know about the upcoming drama serial which has their favourite star cast. Kubra Khan, Shuja Asad and Adeel Hussain’s fans expressed their love to Mehreen Jabbar, the cast and the crew. Read the comments:
Raaja Rani is a Hum TV’s Prime time drama serial which has been directed by Amin Iqbal. The story is written by Sana Zafar. The concept and dialogues are by Abdul Khaliq Khan and Amin Iqbal. Momina Duraid is the producer of the show. Faysal Quraishi is playing the main lead character in the show and his bold choice of character is under strict public and critical scrutiny. However, Faysal Quraishi’s fans are supporting him.
Former Actress and Kya Drama Hai’s co-host Sadia Imam has recently criticized Faysal Quraishi’s Look from the drama serial. She is of the view that Faysal Quraishi could have chosen a mature getup for Zaviyar’s character.
Talking about Faysal Quraishi’s Look in Raaja Rani, she said, “What kind of drama is this? I’ve been saying this since the first episode aired—there’s just too much makeup. Zaviyar’s character is stuck at a certain age mentally, and we understand that. But why make him clean-shaven and apply layers of foundation just to make him look younger? It’s not working. I don’t understand why Faysal Bhai agreed to this. His makeup looks very prominent on screen. Imran Ashraf has played such a character perfectly in the past—because it was all natural. Here, the makeup is too visible, also the lighting is so poor. This character should have been executed differently. He should physically look like a mature person. The role could have been portrayed with a beard—it would have looked excellent.”
Parwarish is ARY Digital’s popular prime time drama serial that airs twice a day at 8:00 p.m. It features a stellar cast including Samar Jafri, Aina Asif, Savera Nadeem, Naumaan Ijaz, Saman Ansari, Shamim Hilaly, Saad Zameer Fareedi, Reham Rafiq, Abul Hasan, Arshad Mehmood, and others. The drama is written by Kiran Siddiqui and directed by Meesam Naqvi. It is a presentation of Big Bang Entertainment.
The story of Parwarish revolves around a family that lives in a joint family system. Fans are loving the strong bond within the family. In recent episodes, viewers have also been praising the bond between Mahnoor and Panah. Mahnoor’s caring attitude towards her sister-in-law is making fans emotional. Her character has earned respect for her helpful nature.
Mahnoor’s character, portrayed by the excellent Pakistani actress Savera Nadeem, is overall receiving praise for being a practical and confident person who is independent in her decisions. Fans are also loving her nature as a perfect mother and her sweet bond with Panah. One fan wrote, “Mahnoor has such a good conversation with her son—every mother should be like her.” Another said, “I love Mahnoor for how practical she is in life. Everyone should be like her.” Another fan commented, “Mahnoor is a great support. She’s trying to help Panah with good intentions.” Someone else wrote, “Everyone should have a support system like Mahnoor in real life.” Many viewers also praised Savera Nadeem’s stunning looks and demeanor as Mahnoor. Fans said she has perfectly embodied the character of Mahnoor. Fans are also sharing hilarious comments regarding the situations that are being created as a result of Mahnoor’s empowering actions. Here are the comments:
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed rose to popularity after appearing in ISPR’s press conferences on behalf of Air Force Chief Zaheer Ahmad Baber Sidhu. AVM Aurangzeb, 53, is a happily married man and a proud father of talented children. He started grabbing headlines from day one due to his sharp looks and intelligent demeanor. However, his popularity soared after the Pakistan Air Force successfully downed six Indian jets. The Air Force officer remained in the spotlight for two to three days, and the admiration from women didn’t stop—even prompting several celebrities to step in and calm those going gaga over him.
Dania Enwer, Abdullah Sultan, Fiza Khawar and Mansoor Ali Khan were among the notable celebrities who expressed concern over women flirting with a respectable Air Force officer, especially considering he has a family who may be witnessing all of this unfold on social media.
Abdullah Sultan said that AVM Aurangzeb is a respected Air Force figure and a married man. Praising such a personality is perfectly fine, but associating cringeworthy memes and below-the-belt wishful posts should stop. Fiza Khawar also shared Pakistan Air Force’s post, saying, “Pakistani women should calm down because making sexual and unethical jokes on our respected officers is beyond comprehension.” Mansoor Ali Khan categorically told all the women who are flirting on the Air Force officer that AVM Aurangzeb is a married man and 53. He further said that he has started feeling sad for AVM’s wife. Besides that, many Pakistani women are also of the view that the officers deserve Pakistani people’s praise, but to crack unethical jokes and treating them like a romantic figure is unacceptable. Here are the posts:
Divorce is not an easy thing to go through. Only those who have gone through it understand the pain and gravity of it. Pakistan is a country where divorce despite being Halal is demonized. Even if a couple is in so much pain and they are going through the worst of times, they are pushed to remain together. The divorce rate is increasing now as more women are finding their voice.
Recently, a girl named Feeya shared how her mother has just gotten divorced after 30 years of marriage. She was in a toxic relationship and when she finally got divorced, the family celebrated it with a cake and dinner. The woman is now happy as she is finally free. The daughter shared this celebration with the world.
The Internet has a lot to say after this post went viral. Many people appreciated how the family is celebrating the end to toxicity while others think that it should not have been celebrated as divorce is considered the most unliked among Halal things by Allah. One said, “It is good to celebrate when you come out of a painful situation.” One thought, “It is wrong to celebrate divorce and put it on social media, whatever was the reason behind it.” Another added, “I do not agree with celebrating divorce but I cannot judge someone else’s pain.” Here is the reaction:
After all of this Feeya clarified that her father had left her mother 10 years ago after abuse, gun pointing and what not. Thus her coming out of it is a win for sure. This also clarifies why she was not observing Iddat:
Waseem Badami celebrated Youm e Tashakkur on ARY news and he roasted Indian media. He was joined by Shafaat Ali and other artists who replicated what Indian media does on a daily basis. People like Major Gaurav Arya and Arnab Goswami are known to be exaggerators and war-mongers. The way they reported through the four day stand off was absurd, illogical and dangerous. They were even called out by some Indian celebrities.
Waseem Badami brought dummies of Arnab Goswami and General Bakhshi and they acted exactly like Indian media acts. From war-mogering to occupying Karachi and what not, they showed how Indian media was behaving throughout these days of war.
This is how Indian media was acting:
Pakistanis exactly replicated their frenzy and it looked as funny as it does on Indian media:
Even Indians are agreeing with the roast. One Indian wrote, “I am Indian but this is really funny.” Another added, “I am Indian and I love this roast.” One user added, “This is better than SNL.” This is how public is reacting:
Noman Habib is a self-made actor. He started his career with a film like Main Hoon Shahid Afridi. He has since appeared in many dramas and fans love to watch him on-screen. He has a very real off-screen persona and viewers enjoy when he comes on live shows. He was a guest on Mazaq Raat and spoke about his journey over the years.
Noman Habib shared that attitudes of people change towards you once you start to achieve something. He revealed that he along with his colony friends used to go door to door and they would collect money for decoration on the 14th August and people can be rude at times. But when he started working and earning fame, the same people would invite him over for tea.
This is how he described the change in attitudes:
The actor also shared that fame changed him as well. He has changed with time. At first people used to suppress him, even assistants started putting their mistakes on him as he would not fight back. He also shared an incident where comedians on a show only targeted him as he was not answering back. With these examples, he shared that as his fame and experience increased, he learnt how to defend himself.
Here is what he revealed:
Noman Habib also has advice for egoistic actors. This is a problem that has been attributed to many big stars by the industry. Noman shared that this is a must and happens to all actors who become famous. Some show it and others don’t. He also felt that he has become a big thing at one point. That is when your close circle should point out the change in your attitude and you should put yourself back on track. One should not get lost in that egoistic void.
Behroze Sabzwari and Javed Sheikh appeared as guests on ARY News Youm e Tashakkur following the four day stand-off between Pakistan and India. The victory was celebrated on national television and they represented how artists feel about Pakistan coming out as a clear winner in this stand off. Javed Sheikh has worked in India for a long time and he can be called the most successful Pakistani actor who worked in Bollywood.
Behroze Sabzwari started off very emotionally as he paid homage to the Armed Forces. He said that the Pakistani Forces made us happy. He added that he feels all Indians including actors, their army and the public have started living in Bollywood. Our forces have shown them how reality is different from Bollywood.

He added that many countries who were underestimating Pakistan are also praising us now.

Sukynah Khan recently appeared in Mazaqraat where she opened up about her heartbreak and a personal loss.
Talking about her heartbreak, Sukynah Khan said, “Yes, I experienced a heartbreak, and it happened recently. I had high hopes for my love, but when your heart breaks, you feel pain. I’m not hurting, but I do find a strange comfort in the pain caused by heartbreak. I believe that when two people spend time together, they should cherish the good moments. If you part ways and keep hoping for a patch-up, you end up wasting a lot of time — that waiting consumes you. I’m still waiting for someone. I haven’t told him, and I don’t need to — he already knows. Maybe this loss will bless me with patience. I don’t even wish to have patience in my life, because after that you wish to have your lover back goes.”Here is the link to the video:
Talking about personal loss, Sukynah said, “Yes, I recently experienced a big financial loss, just when I came to Lahore for Mazaqraat my car was stolen in Karachi. I think it was the same pain which transferred into my performance. I am not able to process that loss but obviously I’m here due to my commitment.” Here is the link to the video:

Adeel Afzal is an actor, writer and social media content creator. He received massive fame after the success of his character Nasaaz in the blockbuster drama Parizaad. He played his friend and their bromance is considered iconic. He was also loved for Standup Girl, a show he also wrote. He was a guest on the Rukhsat podcast and spoke about society and things that need to be changed.
Adeel Afzal spoke about why viewers fall in love with the bad boys shown in dramas. This is a phenomenon that has been discussed time and again. We recently saw it in Qarz e Jaan where fans loved Ammar Bakhtiyar more than Barrister Burhan. His drama Parizaad also showed a similar character with Behroze Karim who kills his own wife Laila Saba. Fans had loved Behroze Karim and the aura that he carried.
Adeel Afzal said that it has become a part of our collective psyche that we like a person who has power, who can control and protect. We are taught as a society to admire such a person as he can take control. He gave an example of how people loved violent characters of Sultan Rahi and admired them because he was a larger than life hero who could take action against the status quo. People see hope in such powerful characters. He added that Behroze Karim was a powerful man who people loved because people wanted to be like him with all the money and power in the world. But such characters should be shown with a negative ending and not glorified.

Pakistan and India’s recent conflict has exposed many Pakistani artists, especially those who maintained a neutral stance or chose to remain silent. While fans have already been criticizing Fawad Khan, Ayeza Khan, Yumna Zaidi, Wahaj Ali, Aima Baig, Hania Aamir, and others, Sana Nawaz also gave a neutral statement, saying, “Artists have no boundaries; they are beyond borders and should spread love and positivity through their work.” This was shared by journalist Murtaza Views. Here is the link to the video of what Sana Nawaz said:
Sana Nawaz’s stance was unacceptable to many Pakistanis, and she instantly faced severe public backlash. The vocal and patriotic Pakistani actress Mishi Khan also watched Sana Nawaz’s video and gave her a strong response.
Mishi Khan said, “Sana, what do you mean by saying that the artists are beyond borders—if that is true, you would be traveling across the world without a passport. Why do you follow all immigration laws while traveling then? Just say that I am an artist and you won’t be needing a passport. Please stop repeating these old and obsolete narratives about artists being beyond borders. I understand that you’re trying to spread messages of love, but when it comes to the sovereignty of your country, you must take a stand and choose your nation. That’s the moment when your country demands your loyalty. You’re my friend, but I have to correct you. Just look at Indian artists—see how they openly support their country. Their military has killed our civilians, yet their artists still stand with their nation.”
Fans are loving Mishi Khan’s straight forwardness and saying that a person like her should be Pakistan’s international ambassador who speaks from heart. Read the comments:

Recently, the two actors were guests in Good Morning Pakistan where they talked about their sacrifices for making home beautiful.
Talking about it, Fazila Qazi said, “I started working at a new TV channel, many other actors were also doing jobs there. Had I not left that job, I believe I would have been more successful in my career. But Kaiser wanted me to leave. He used to say, ‘Whenever I come home, I feel like an orphan without a woman in the house.’ but deep down it was also my own wish to be with my children and create a perfect home. That has always been my ultimate wish and passion because of my hobby of reading digests. I believe if you feel content as a housewife, then it means you are truly content in life.” Here is the link to the video:
Ghazal Siddiqui also shared her story of leaving Pakistan, she said, “My son was very young, and my husband had a wish for him to send him abroad for his studies because my husband was an PHD from Oxford University, he didn’t want to compromise on our son’s education. We both resigned from our jobs in Pakistan, applied for immigration, and eventually moved to Canada. Our son was 11 years old when we relocated, after wrapping up everything in Pakistan. The reason I went with them was that I wanted my son to be raised with our cultural values — and no one can instill those values better than a mother.” Here is the link to the video:

Javeria has always shared her thoughts and opinions openly with the world and she does not care how her words will be perceived. She often goes viral for it. Her recent one comes with her appearance on Samaa TV’s morning show alongside her mother on the Mother’s Day special.
Javeria Saud was a guest on Samaa and she made a few comments about her mother. She was being her jolly self and revealed that recently she was with her mom for two days in Hyderabad and she salutes her sisters-in-law who tolerate her mother everyday. She was laughing when she said it while her mother looked a bit uncomfortable. She later added that her sisters-in-law are great and her mom shares a beautiful equation with them. Her mother treats them like she treats her own daughters. She allows them to sleep till 12 p.m.

Sana Nawaz is a Pakistani film and television actress who has worked in India before. She appeared in a meaty role in Sunny Deol’s Kaafila and her performance at large was appreciated. She is a big name from Lollywood and she received immense love in dramas when she tranistioned to TV. She has an opinion after the Indo-Pak stand off and the public is criticizing her.
Recently, India has been acting petty when they blocked Pakistani stars’s Instagram accounts in their country. They even went on to remove Pakistani stars from posters of their Bollwyood films like Mawra Hocane from Sanam Teri Kasam, Mahira Khan from Raees and Fawad Khan from Kapoor & Sons.
Sana Nawaz has chimed in with her opinion on what happened between the two countries. Many people are saying that Pakistanis should never work in Bollywood again but Sana has a different opinion. She said that artists are ambassadors of peace. There are no boundaries for artists; they spread love and this is what she believes in. She added that she has seen actors getting bashed for not commenting on the Indo-Pak stand off. Actors get bashed if they speak up and they will get criticized even if they remain silent.
Public is not happy with Sana Nawaz’s statement. One user said, “You keep getting humiliated while saying this dialogue.” Another added, “Indian artists are supporting their army and you should too when people are dying due to Indian aggression.” One said,”You can call what is wrong, wrong even if you are an artist.” One said,”Artist ka zameer to hota hai.” This is what the public thinks:
Nooray Zeeshan is Aniya from Parwarish. The actress plays Wali aka Samar Jafri’s younger sister who is showcasing the problems a young teenager faces in our society. This is her very first drama and she is doing a good job with her character. Aniya was shown going through bullying in school. This is a topic that is not much talked about on our television but it is a reality and it should be spoken about.
Aniya in Parwarish got bullied in school and she is in the end rescued by her brother Wali and her cousin Sameer. The scenes went viral as many people could relate to what was shown in the drama.
This was the scene:
Nooray Zeeshan was a guest on Fuchsia and revealed that she has faced bullying in real life as well. These cases are real and they happen everyday. She revealed that while she used to go on the school bus, there were bullies who would step on her shoes so she would be punished for improper uniform. They would ink her uniform stole. One of those boys once pushed her and she fell on the ground. She added that she was scared to open up about it and could not tell anyone that she was being bullied. It is difficult to tell it to your loved ones as you are scared of their reactions as well. She was bullied in class 5 and kids from 8-10th class were bullying her.

Recently, Pakistani stars working in Bollywood is a big question. People from both sides of the border had things to say as soon as the news of Fawad Khan working in Abir Gulaal and Hania Aamir working in Sardaar Ji 3 came out. Now after the three day stand-off, we have seen Pakistani stars removed from the posters of their films and what not. Mawra Hocane, Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan were removed from the posters of their Bollywood films while a ban came in effect on them too. Other Pakistani stars were blocked on Instagram by the Indian government.
Sana Askari was a guest on FHM and gave her two cents on Pakistani stars who are too impressed by Bollywood. She said she saw how Fawad Khan’s upcoming film was suddenly shelved. She added that working in India should have been a two-way street. Pakistani stars should have worked there but Indian stars should also have worked here. Also people should only work in a place where they are getting respected which is not the case for India. When they are not respecting you, then don’t die to work there. She added our stars are always dying to work there. Even if they are called to sneeze in Bollywood, our stars just go which is sad.
This is what she said:
She also gave her two cents on the YouTubers vs Actors controversy. She said you have to earn your respect and everyone gets fame from where it is written by Allah. Thus actors should not call out Vloggers. She herself follows many Vloggers who are not from Pakistan and she learns from them. We should not say negative things about each other.
Parwarish is a drama airing on ARY Digital and it is beautifully depicting the struggles of Gen Z and their parents. The show can get stereotypical at a few points but it is largely a breath of fresh air and targeted towards the younger audience. Wali and Maya played by Samar Jafri and Aina Asif are all set to join a medical college. Their MDCAT aka Medical Test Entrance Exam was held and they both got through. MDCAT is among the most difficult competitive exams in Pakistan. The way it was portrayed has started a debate.
Many people have to go through multiple attempts in order to qualify the MDCAT. Our hero Wali from Parwarish however did it in a single night. This pissed off many viewers who have gone through this insane journey. They called out how an aspirant’s struggle was belittled by showing how this can be done in a single night. Meanwhile Maya was shown reading Grey’s Anatomy which is a book you study when you are already in a medical college and not for the entrance exam.
Viewers spoke about this and said Parwarish should have researched it a bit before showing it off this way. One said, ” I am a repeater and trust me it is not this easy.” Another point raised was how Maya was already reading Grey’s Anatomy for her pre-medical exam. One user wrote,”Don’t think of the audience to be this stupid. Why is she studying an Anatomy book for her pre-medical exam.” One netizen said, “They are making fun of a medical aspirant’s journey.” This is what was being said:
Some users also debated that Jehangir is the one who got Wali in through his contacts. He misused power and Wali has not actually passed the exam:
Pakistan and India have recently dominated news headlines due to escalating tensions following a conflict. On April 22nd, India accused Pakistan of carrying out an attack on its tourists in Pahalgam, Srinagar. Pakistan immediately rejected the allegations and offered an inquiry, which India ignored. India later launched an attack on Pakistan, but Pakistan retaliated and emerged victorious. The entire nation is celebrating Pakistan’s triumph. Celebrities are paying tribute to the armed forces for their successful operations. Abrar Ul Haq has also expressed his love for the country in his unique style.
Abrar Ul Haq has released a special song to mark the occasion. The song features meaningful lyrics that narrate how the Pakistani Armed Forces thwarted India’s “Operation Sindoor.” The singer also highlighted that it is the spirit of a Muslim that grants him victory on the battlefield. Abrar Ul Haq also mentioned serving the tea to the enemy. He shared the inspiring song on his official YouTube channel. However, Abrar Ul Haq has yet to release a video for the song, which will be launched later. Here is the link to the video:
Fans are loving the song. Many are saying a song like this was the need of the hour to keep the Pakistanis motivated. A social media user wrote, “Pak Forces deserve this kind of tribute after an amazing victory”. Another wrote, “The song is beautiful and Abrar Ul Haq sang it with full enthusiasm and zeal”. Pakistanis expressed love for Pakistan and forces of Pakistan. Read the comments here:
