One of the most thrilling match of T20 Asia Cup 2022 took place yesterday, after Pakistan won the match against Afghanistan by 1 wicket.
During the match an unpleasant incident took place when Afghanistan’s bowler Farid Malik misbehaved with Pakistani batsman Asif Ali after taking his wicket. In response, Asif Ali lost his temper and waved his bat at Afghanistan’s bowler. The umpire and other team members separated the two immediately to refrain from any other unpleasant act.
Within no time, the incident became the talk of the town as the netizens bashed Afghanistan’s bowler for his inappropriate gesture. Lately, bowler Farid Malik taking to his official twitter account extended apology to Pakistani batsman Asif Ali for his rude behavior. Farid stated that what he did was wrong but he always supports team Pakistan and will do the same in future.
We lost the match but we had a chance to win the hearts. I lost that too. Sorry Pakistan 🙏🏻 Disappointed #PAKvAFG
What I did was wrong but don’t forget every time Pakistan is playing with sum other team, we are always backing Pak. Next match for Pak, I will still be supporting Pak Team.
He further added that he’s hoping that Pakistani’s will forgive him for his inappropriate and rude behaviour.
Today is another big match for us and I am expecting Pakistani fans will forgive me for what happened yesterday and support us as they always do. Need your prayers

Affan Waheed is usually not very open about his personal life. Like many other celebrities who have come as guests to Samina Peerzada’s show, he too opened up about his personal affairs like he has never done before. Everyone saw the pictures of Affan Waheed’s marriage but till now no one knew that he was divorced and what he went through after he got divorced. In this video we will tell you few interesting facts about Affan Waheed and also share with you how he went into depression after his divorce. Watch the video till the end to find out how he got over this difficult phase.
Affan Waheed is a wonderful Pakistani actor, he started working as a Model. His drama Tere Pehlu Main fetched him fame. Affan also loves singing and painting, he did professional degree in arts, Affan paints perfectly well. Alot of people don’t know about Affan’s career switches, well, he started career as an RJ on Radio.
Recently, Affan Waheed was spotted in the show “The Big Pick” with Hassan Choudhry where he talked about his rumored affairs with his co actors. Talking about his rumours Affan said, “aunties from my neighbors come at my home and gives “Salami” (wedding token) to my mother, fans are highly convinced about my rumors, the Salami rumor is about Ramsha and me”
He further said, “I didn’t have any rumor with Hira Mani because obviously she is married so there are no rumors with her. I also had rumors with Ramsha Khan”
Talking about ZQ he said, “me and ZQ are very good friends, we share an apartment too, she is a very close friend of mine, that’s why people think that we are together, but she’s like a mother to me, ZQ herself says this. Besides this, ZQ is my confidant and a close friend. She is my crush too, Hira and I are good friends and there are no rumors about Hira, it’s Durrefishan with whom I made most of the headlines.”
He cleared all the air about his rumors with his co stars from the industry. Here is the link where he talked about his rumored scandals with actresses.
Affan Waheed is an actor who has been in the industry since the early 2000s. He has a very dedicated fan base and they love him in every role. The actor is loved not just for acting but also for his humble attitude and the way he conducts himself in public. The actor was a guest on Shan e Suhoor and spoke about his take on cosmetic surgery.
Affan Waheed was asked what he thinks about cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures that have become a norm nowadays not just for actors and actresses but also amongst general public.
Affan said that if someone can extend their age group a little with cosmetic procedures why not. This business requires this assistance thus he is not against it. But you cannot fight nature a lot and you will get older with time. If someone wants to get such procedures, they should not be judged. Also do not let this get to your head.
Actor Affan Waheed has been through harsh times in his life due to which he went into depression. However, he pulled himself out and now he confidently talks about it.
In his interview, Affan Waheed talks about how he survived through his depression time. He said:
“I have been through depression and I am a self-taught survivor of pain. For some time I was in a dark room and I think if you want to live in a closed dark room then it’s fine because you don’t have to fight a lot.”
“Celebrate 2-3 days of your depression and sadness but after that pull your socks up and move on in life. There are people who are in a miserable state and we have to be grateful. I believe gratitude changes a lot.”
The Do Bol actor further said, “There is a clinical depression in which chemical imbalance occurs and in this situation, you have to go see your doctor and don’t care about society’s judgement. You have to go see your doctor no matter what. Your mind runs your life so why can’t you go to doctor for it? There is no shame in it, let people say what they want to say, it’s your life and you have to live it.”
While sharing advise for people he said, “If someone is going through depression show some empathy and urge them to go see a doctor. That’s mandatory I believe.”
Affan is a handsome and accomplished Pakistani actor and model. It wouldn’t be wrong to call him a multi-talented man with dashing looks. Affan achieved all the success with his diligence without having any artistic background. Affan Waheed was recently spotted in an interview with “Gloss ETC By Maliha Rehman”.
Affan Waheed while talking about the dragging of dramas, mentioned that “It obviously hurts to see such things, but when you’re shooting for a drama you don’t realize, till you actually watch it on tv screen. When we watch it later, sometimes we regret that if this thing would not have happened, it would have grabbed audiences’ attention on a larger scale.”
“However, we can’t help it because it depends on the producer, they also have to make money out of that project. We are helpless at that moment”, added Affan Waheed.
Affan Waheed is an actor who is known for his work and on-screen presence and not for creating controversies. He has done a great job and he has done some great scripts in his career. He has a very loyal fan following and they are always waiting for him to appear on their screens. Affan Waheed has been rumoured to be in a relationship with co-actress Sidra Niazi lately and fans wanted to know the truth behind it.
Affan Waheed has been spotted hanging out with Sidra Niazi several times and that is what fuelled the dating rumours which the actors have denied a few times before but Affan is now ready to set the record straight.
Affan spoke to journalist Ambreen Fatima and shared the reality of his equation with Sidra Niazi. He revealed that he knew Sidra as a family friend way before she joined the industry and became famous. They used to hangout before her stardom and later on when she got famous, people started making all these stories. Sidra Niazi is just his family friend and they are not dating.
Affan Waheed is one of the few actors who do not indulge in a lot of socializing and he is more focused on his work and living his life outside the sphere of social media. Affan started his career on the radio when he was a student and he just got into acting. He is an introvert who likes to talk about things with wisdom and does not indulge in many controversies. Affan is also quite frank with his fans and he has talked about his journey in different interviews. He had previously shared in an interview that his first divorce was a very hard time for him like it would be for anyone and he has worked through it.
Thus, Affan is one eligible bachelor who is loved by all the female fans and they are always wondering if he would take the leap. Affan was a guest on Rabia Anum’s Ramadan transmission where he shared that he was almost married again but things did not work out.
Rabia asked him if the relationship did not work out from his side or the girl’s side, to which Affan said that it was destiny’s decision.
Affan though believes in love and what he wants in a partner is just companionship, loyalty and wisdom:
Affan Waheed is a star who everyone loves. He has been a part of some very big dramas and he is loved for his natural style of acting and his very decent off-screen persona. He was a guest on Mehfil e Eid on Green TV and he was seen having fun with other star colleagues.
Affan Waheed shared a very interesting story from the starting days of his career. The actor shared that he was in London and only some of his work had come out. A group of people spotted him and came to him as they had recognized him. The catch was they recognized him as a big Bollywod star and not as Affan Waheed.
The fans had mistaken Affan Waheed for Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor. He not only clicked pictures with them but also signed an autograph. At that time, Ranbir was also young and looked similar to Affan. He still remembers that fan interaction.
This is what went down:
Fans are reacting to the statement and saying that Affan Waheed is far more handsome than Ranbir Kapoor while a few think that how can he be mistaken for the Bollywood star as there is a clear difference in their heights:
Affan Waheed is one of the leading actors of our dramas. Affan Waheed recently made an appearance in an interview with Something Haute in which he revealed that he got offers from Hollywood and Bollywood but he declined the offers.
“I got this offer almost two months back with Nicole Kidman, but I didn’t tell anyone because I knew that I can’t do it. At that time I was already committed, I was going for my film shoot, secondly, they wanted a pro football or basketball player and I couldn’t play either of them perfectly and I didn’t have time to train myself. I just thought that instead of going there and getting rejected it better to turn it off. And I didn’t tell it to anyone other than my family” said Affan
When Amna asked him about the Bollywood offer Affan said: “I don’t want to talk about something that I didn’t work in. I got the offer 4 5 years back. (www.lambertsfruit.com) I didn’t do it because I got the message of their casting director on Facebook and I didn’t check it. After two years I was deleting the messages and I stumbled upon that message. I messaged her again but she never replied.”
Popular drama serial “Pardes” co-stars Affan Waheed and Dur-e-Fishan Saleem are becoming everyone’s favorite new onscreen couple. The young stars Affan Waheed and Dur-e-Fishan Saleem continue to deliver solid performances in their roles.
Lately, In an exclusive chat with Hassan Choudary of “Something Haute”, Affan and Dur-e-Fishan shared interesting details about their roles and how they bonded over the drama.
Talking about the experience of working with each other for the first time, Dur-e-Fishan shared an interesting anecdote. “Initially, Affan wasn’t sure of working with me. He told the production house as well that he don’t want to work with me and then he came on the first day after our first scene and told me that this was his first thought,” she shared.
Dur-e-Fishan further added that “But from the very next day we were cordial and had a great time working together. The fear of working with a newcomer is quite understandable because it such a big project, so it is natural to speculate if you’ll be able to work with a new person”.
Affan Waheed is an actor who people love for his acting, styling and the way he humbly presents himself. The actor was a guest on Wasi Shah’s show and spoke about his life, family, career and what he has learnt over the years. He was very candid and shared his real thoughts which connected with many of his fans.
Affan Waheed spoke about how he has struggled with anger issues in his life. He revealed that though he has a very calm public image, people close to him know how he can get really angry at times. He said that he has read and researched it over the years. There are genetic factors and obviously your environment causes so much anger. He is also self-aware and he has worked on himself to reduce anger issues.
The actor said that over the years, he has learnt techniques like mindfulness and he teaches himself to be happy and not react strongly towards things. He sometimes regrets that he used to react so harshly towards others when he was younger. Things have gotten better and he has recognized how anger has been the root cause of many issues. He added that he has worked on himself to make it better over the years.
Affan Waheed happens to be one of those Pakistani actors who have built a name for themselves slowly and gradually. These days, Affan’s character Saad in drama Ghalati is being hate upon by all viewers and that is definitely Affan’s victory as an actor.
As successful and brilliant he is as an actor, seems like, Affan didn’t get so lucky when it comes to romance or relationships. Affan Waheed tied the knot back in 2016 but the actor parted ways with his wife after a year or so of being together.
In 2017 Affan had announced he had split from his wife and he was now single. Affan had made the announcement on his social media post after his engagement picture with Iqra Aziz, from the sets of their drama went viral.
In a recent interview, Affan Waheed opened up about his divorce stating that he had only talked about it once before after the divorce happened.
“Its not about who is right, you or you’re partner. Sometimes both partners are right but they’re not just compatible with each other and its best to part ways. My case was the same and we mutually decided to move on,” said Affan.
Affan then added that it was a big decision and even though it went smoothly, it had its repercussions. “I had depression because of that and a few other things bringing me down. But I went through it and I will call myself a self taught survivor of pain,” said the Do Bol actor.
Currently Affan can be seen on ARY Digital in drama serial Ghalati opposite Hira Mani. Affan and Hira’s pairing has been appreciated a lot ever since the duo appeared together in Do Bol.
Affan Waheed is a hearththrob and he has a very loyal fan base. People love to watch his dramas and he has done a variety of characters in his career. His drama Pardes with Durefishan Saleem was a big hit and it was Durefishan’s first big break. She has grown a lot since then and she has given several hits. Affan and Durefishan’s pairing in Pardes was an instant hit and people were rooting for both the actors when the drama aired.
They also ended up doing a wedding shoot and many fans thought they were probably getting married. Random YouTube videos added fuel to the fire and the rumour spread a lot. Affan Waheed was a guest on Hasna Mana Hai where he was asked about this and he answered it very frankly.
He said that once you do a wedding shoot with a hit on-screen couple, such rumours spread and become fake news and that is all that was. Here is what he said:
He is an introvert and he has only a few friends in the industry. He shared that all his friends must have a few qualities. He wants them to be able to handle his mood swings and not take them personally and also they should be good listeners who can listen to you even if you are in the wrong and not judge you.
Affan Waheed is an actor who is loved by millions. He has taken on many daring characters and fans love how he performs in every drama. The actor has a dedicated fan base who follows every project that he does and every work that he starred in. The star was a guest on AHI and spoke about how he was able to become such a successful actor despite being an extreme introvert.
Aamna Haider Isani asked Affan Waheed how he managed to join such an extroverted profession when he does not like to hang out anywhere. He is never seen in too many interviews and he does not attend many events or get togethers. He is not life of the party. The actor said that he did not choose this profession, this profession chose him. He though believed that an introvert can also be a good actor. You do not have to be visible all the time in interviews or social media.
The actor added that this is a new norm where visibility in interviews or social media has become important. Now, new actors and actresses are more active socially but it is what it is. Affan Waheed has maintained his personal space very private and he has still given good performances.
Affan Waheed is an actor who does not do a lot of projects but his fans are always looking forward to more of his work on television. He is also making his cinematic debut with Mastani and we will later see him in Rafi. Affan Waheed likes to speak philosophically on spirituality, love and life and he shared his thoughts on love in an interview with Fuchsia.
Affan spoke about the importance of first love and if a person can forget it. He said that people might always remember their first love as he is not sure about it but one can fall in love over and over again.
Here is what he said:
He went on to speak about what he thinks love is. Love for Affan is a powerful force that can transform you. It can bring out the best in you and can make you recognize what true qualities you possess. He also said that love is companionship for him and that is what he would describe it as.
Listen to this:
Affan Waheed and Amna Ilyas also spoke about how cheating has become easier these days and they have started preferring to live alone in place of having someone else in their lives.
This is what they had to say about marrying again:
Affan Waheed is a wonderful and accomplished Pakistani actor, he started working as a Model, he was also an RJ who demonstrated his radio jockey skills by hosting shows on FM 103. Affan also loves singing and by profession he is an artist too who paints perfectly well.
Affan wanted to become an actor and is now a successful actor.
Recently Affan Waheed was spotted in TimeOut With Ahsan Khan with Durrefishan Saleem where he opened up about his favourite actresses with whom he loves to work with.
He said that he loves to work with Tooba Siddiqui, Ramsha Khan, Hira Mani and Durrefishan Saleem. He said that Durrefishan is a new addition to his list. He said he loved working with Durrefishan and told her on his Third to fourth day that he really enjoyed working with her.
He once again said the same in another segment that he loves working with Ramsha Khan, Hira Mani and Durrefishan. Have a look at video link.
Affan Waheed is one of the versatile actors we have in the industry who can fit himself into every character he plays. Affan is in the industry for a long time and is one of the most cherished actors of a young generation because of his looks and acting. Affan Waheed recently appeared in an interview with “Gloss Etc By Maliha Rehman”.
Affan Waheed while talking about his favorite projects, mentioned that “One of my favorite project is ‘Shehnai’. It was a different project with a different storyline. Working with Ramsha was an amazing experience and Abdullah Seja always comes up with some interesting and different characters for me, so I loved it.”
“‘Do Bol’ is also one of my favorite project because I had a margin to act in that project. Another project ‘Bedardi’ is also very close to my heart because it delivered a strong message. ‘Neelam Kinaray and Pardes are also my favorite projects”, added Affan Waheed.
Affan Waheed is an actor who is known for being very sensitive and sensible about things. He is loved by his fans for his screen presence and positivity. He has never bad-mouthed anyone and he is all set to make his silver screen debut with the upcoming film Mastaani. Affan Waheed was on FHM podcast for their upcoming movie and he had something important to share.
Affan spoke about constant ageist comments that actors have to endure. Recently, Firdous Jamal once again spoke about Mahira Khan’s age in a show and targeted her for looking old and not heroine-like.
Affan said that we all are going to age at some point. First actors are targeted for getting older and when they get some sort of Botox done to change their looks, they start getting targeted for those changed looks. Thus we should live and let live.
Affan Waheed and Sonya Hussyn are two big stars in the Pakistani entertainment industry and both are extremely talented. the duo will soon be sharing the silver screen together and the news has made their fans super happy. Affan Waheed has been a heartthrob since his stint in Do Bol and Sonya can rock any character she takes up. This will be a delight to watch these two together especially in a real-life drama.
The duo will be seen in the real life based story of Rafi Muhammad Chaudhry, a nuclear scientist and physicist who taught at G.C. Lahore and he is among the top brains of Pakistan whose story has been forgotten. Affan Waheed looks enigmatic in a pre-partition style as he shared poster and pictures of the film, Rafi- The Untold Story.
Fans are ecstatic to see Affan in such a different role and many are looking forward to watch how they will honour the hero. Check out:

Dr Affan Qaiser is a brilliant Pakistani doctor and digital creator who is known for his health awareness videos and motivational speeches. He is an Assistant Professor Head of Gastroenterology and Hepatologist in Multan. Dr Affan Qaiser has a huge Facebook following of 3.9 million. Dr Affan Qaiser often calls out social media influencers including Ducky Bhai, Iqra Kanwal and others. He thinks that these influencers are impacting society negatively.
He has recently conducted a podcast with Irfan Malik who is a Data Scientist, Entrepreneur, and a tech consultant. Dr Affan Qaiser has once again talked about the negative influence of the family vloggers particularly Iqra Kanwal and Ducky Bhai.
Talking about the negative impact of Family vlogging, Dr Affan Qaiser said, “In Pakistan, two well-known family vloggers Ducky Bhai and Iqra Kanwal aka Sistrology are harming the society, now, I would talk about them loud and clear, I think they are the ones who can weekly buy a Fortuner and they are selling family, they doing pranks a d featuring their fights and inner issues on YouTube”. Irfan Malik replied to his concerns and said, ” YouTube has nothing to do with the kind of content people are producing. I make educational videos but there is no viewership on it, but I know what legacy I am leaving behind me, the thing that matters is realization”. Here is the link to the video:
Facebook users are coming up with mixed comments. Many agreed to Dr Affan Qaiser and Irfan Malik’s views while a few criticized Dr. Affan Qaiser for his vlogging. Social media users praised Irfan Malik’s point of view regarding the legacy or message being given by the influencers. A social media user wrote, “they are successful because people are watching them, the viewers are responsible for making such people heroes”. Read the comments:
I must say that watching both these shows was a great experience. Both the award shows were grand, very well organized, superbly edited and definitely very promising. Since both these awards went on air at the same time so I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between the two. This article is being written with a very positive mindset because I would not want to undermine the tremendous effort that clearly went into organizing these functions. It was absolutely delightful to watch all our favorite stars from past and present sharing the screen on both these platforms.
Here is what I thought about both these shows.
The Stage
Both the stages were beautifully decorated but I must say that in my opinion the stage of HUM TV awards was a clear winner. It was huge and lighted perfectly. It had a modern outlook which appealed to me. The way the titles of the plays, songs etc that won the awards were shown in the background was very creative.
The Hosts And The Script
AFA had a much more serious feel to it because of the way the show was hosted and scripted. The organizers meant business and appeared to be more focused. There were light hearted jokes here and there but no one in particular was targeted in these jokes. Shaan was spontaneous and everything that he said made perfect sense. I am very sure that Shaan wasn’t targeting or belittling anyone when he said all that he did about being faithful to his country. Fahad Mustafa and Sarwat Gillani looked great together. The stars who got the awards also contributed equally seriously. AFA truly were a thorough introduction to the new wave of cinema in Pakistan – very enlightening and promising. The way the upcoming films were covered was brilliant and a moment of pride for all Pakistanis.
The script of the HUM awards and the way the show was hosted was completely different. It had Vasay Chaudhry written all over it. The fascination with India showed in the comedy which wasn’t needed at all. We don’t need to put India down to make ourselves feel good especially when it seems forced. Some of the jokes were hilarious but some were just plain repulsive. I definitely wanted a little more focus on our dramas and questions like whether Sonam Kapoor really is as “hot” as she appears on screen were totally uncalled for. Also, there were a few lines which actually gave a very “HUM TV” feel to the show, whereas the AFA represented the country as a whole and not the channel.
AFA red carpet was much more focused and well done too. A lot of guests were shown sharing their thoughts in a short span of time. The hosts were more energetic and the questions were short, relevant and intelligent. Anoushey’s Ashraf proved to be a huge disappointment. Her expressions made her look disinterested and bored. She asked her guests the questions and looked like she didn’t really care for the answer; as if she was too eager to move to the next guest.
Nominations and Awards
When I say Nominations and awards, I mean the way in which they were presented. Firstly, I found it very confusing in AFA that most of the nominees were not even given a proper introduction before the award was handed out. Also, most guests who were giving the award away did not specify for which film it was being given. While, people are very well acquainted with dramas even if they are much bigger in number, most people need a proper introduction to the films that were being recognized and awarded. Similarly, the special awards that were given by the AFA were given without showing a proper introduction to the artist who was being given the award. Nadeem Baig was given the life time achievement award but the short clips that were shown from his movies did not do justice to this living legend.
HUM awards, on the other hand were very well organized in this respect. The nominations were shown in details. Special awards were given to Buhsra Ansari and Zia Mohiuddin and the way the overall achievements of these legends were covered in a brief video clip was very impressive. I was also very impressed by the diversity in the categories of awards in the HUM TV Awards.
Dance Performances And Selection Of Songs
The opening performance presented by the AFA was painfully long and wasn’t really connected to the overall awards in any way. HUM TV on the other hand added a nice touch to the opening performance by introducing the plays that had been nominated for the awards right in the start. The introduction to HUM TV Awards was also much more colorful and creative.
Overall, the dance performances on HUM TV awards were very well choreographed and very energetic but AFA took the lead when it came to the selection of songs and sticking to the main theme of the award show. Like I said before they stayed focused by highlighting Pakistani film songs and promoted the cinema just like we expected them to.
The Way The Sponsors Were Promoted
The sponsors were promoted in a much more subtle and creative manner in the AFA. The tag line “sachi yaari sub pe bhari” sounded a little annoying after some time in the HUM Awards. Also, the sponsors were mentioned in the HUM awards many more times than they were in the AFA. In the AFA the names of the sponsors were being shown in the screen on the stage but they were not being mentioned by the hosts over and over again. I thought that was a much better way of promoting the sponsors.
Like I said before, both the shows were absolutely brilliant. I would like to thank all those people who put in a great deal of effort to put these shows together.
Imran Asharf and Aeshsun Talish’s masterpiece Mushk is doing well on the screens. It is a story about love, about how can anyone hide or stay away from this notion of love, its smell, and aroma. It features Urwa Hocane, Imran Ashraf, Momal Sheikh, Osama Tahir, Qavi Khan, Shamon Abbasi and many others.
Aehsun Talish talked in detail about his drama serial Mushk in an interview.
He shared bow he got the basic idea of Mushk and said, “This all idea was of Imran Ashraf and then we sat down on story and developed all the characters.”
He revealed the reason of choosing Urwa and Imran in lead roles and said, “The character of Adam was different from previous works which he has done. I chose Urwa and Imran liked it. I suppose her character is the most difficult one. There is not a single protagonist in the drama, every character has its importance and if any character is missing, the story is unfinished.”
He further talked about the genre of ‘Mushk’ and said, “Genres are decided by the audience when they finish watching it. Every time I try to make a different story. Mushk has lots of thrill and love.”
Aehsun Talish shared his experience of working with Urwa and said, “I am working with Urwa after 11-12 years and I am realizing she has got photographic memory. Imran has written difficult dialogues and no actor is allowed to change them so Urwa delivers difficult dialogues without any tongue twister which is brilliant.”

Fans are praising the happy ending of their favourite drama serial on ARY Digital. One fan wrote, “I am glad that it ended on a happy note because I love happy endings.” Another said, “Mohid truly loves Maleeha, but in the wrong way.” A viewer commented, “Rohaam has supported Maleeha throughout. He even did a lot of good things for Maleeha’s mother. Hats off to Rohaam!” However, a few viewers pointed out some flaws in the script. 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:
Here comes the title song of Fawad Khan’s upcoming movie “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”. The song video shows its full of intense feelings and at the background the magical voice of Arijit starring Ranbir Kapoor , Aishwariya and Anushka Sharma with a glimpse of Fawad Khan in his new but killing look is fun to watch.
Fawad Khan’s new upcoming Bollywood film “Aa Dil Hai Mushkil” has been the talk of the town for a long time because of its cast and a director who is known for giving many hit films. Karan Johar is the most well known director in India right now and he showed his eagerness to work with Fawad Khan more than once.
Ranbir Kapoor, Fawad Khan, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are going to play the leading roles in the film. When the poster of the film came out Pakistani viewers criticized it because Fawad Khan was not on it. The first teaser of the film suggests that Fawad Khan will be playing an important role in the film but the main lead role is played by Ranbir Kapoor.

ARY Digital is one of the biggest media networks in Pakistan. From dramas to films and all the breaking news, ARY is the preferred platform of millions to visit everyday. ARY has a huge team which has been able to get the channel to the height it is at today. Jerjees Seja is the CEO of ARY Digital and he sat with Ahmad Ali Butt and made certain revelations about the mainstream media industry.
Journalism in Pakistan is a sensitive topic these days as people are not allowed to speak the truth though journalism basically means speaking the truth. Like other news channels, ARY News has also faced pressures and Jerjees talked about if journalism is alive in Pakistan or not. He shared that there are good journalists in the industry still and journalism basically means standing for the truth but there are pressures and things do keep changing from time to time.
This is what he said:
He also revealed how Jeeto Pakistan came into being. He shared that they wanted to start a show to compete with Aamir Liaquat’s show and they lined up the whole concept. They even convinced Fahad Mustafa to leave his morning show and join Jeeto Pakistan. Jerjees Seja also revealed that advertisers emailed them to not take Fahad Mustafa as he is too boring. They however, faith in the show they had created and Fahad proved everyone wrong with his energy.
I’m writing this piece just to have a general idea about what our viewers think of the advertisements that we see these days. Advertisements are the strongest brain-feeding strategy that we have because it’s just a matter of few seconds but it does the trick of getting a message across completely. Just some catchy jingle or punch line can end up being with you forever. I remember back in those days I loved diamond supreme foam’s jingle which went on like ‘kaam kaam kaam’, plus punch line of Waves appliances has stayed with me which stated ‘waves, naam hi kaafi hai’. Shaan’s ‘Allhamdullilah, Shaan masalay aik munfarid naam’ is also something that often pops up in mind but I am kind of saddened to see the current advertisements that are running on our TV screens these days.
Right now, it’s just & ALL about Naach Gana. Let it be Sunsilk, Sooper, Q-Mobile, Sprite, Sanitary Napkins, Omore, 7UP, Coca Cola, Tarang, Pampers (kid doing belly dancing) & so on, all that we see in these ads are a bunch of youngsters or stars – basically a group that is dancing. I never knew that dancing was the best strategy to sell a product & attract customers. As far as I learnt during my Marketing sessions, it was all about making people aware of what your product is, not about how you’re going to act after you buy or use it. Right now, I hardly remember any ad or the punch line but what I do remember is jumping jacks dressed differently in each & every commercial. I do understand that someone might jump with joy by the sight of Tea tray approaching them but what I fail to understand is the need of people dancing just by seeing some sort of a tea-milk (Referring to Tarang)? Is it really such a joy? If anyone would dance while shampoo-ing, they’ll end up in the hospital because of the slippery surface it may produce. One might choke to death if they’d jump while drinking fizzy drinks & a biscuit will make you cough too if you eat it while dancing. Ice cream will melt because you’d be focusing more on the moves plus no one ever has been seen using a mobile while being air-bourne, it’s just not right. The ads look exactly as pointless as the arguments I’ve written.
Back then there were so many perfect advertisements that ran on the TV without being obscene or meaning-less. Currently, a couple is giving some sort of weird looks to each other, some girls dancing because they’re being free, boys dancing because they found something kewl to drink, these are the strategies our commercial makers have opted for because they think it’s the best way to make a mark in the viewers minds. No offence to Faisal Qureshi/Jawad Bashir’s team but I must confess that the useless comedy in Ufone commercials actually gets to our nerves now, we’ve seen you making us laugh for like a decade so it’s better to resort to something else, please.
I must say that Ramzan’s ad by Olpers every year has to be my favourite amongst all, where it doesn’t only focus on the festivity that month carries it also very decently promotes the product too. I think that’s the best way to make an impact & that is by emotionally stirring a thought rather than hiring people to dance for you just because you perceive your product to make someone dance like a lunatic in the middle of the road.
It looks like marketing people do not want to brain-storm & come up with the creative ideas or ways but in stead they just rely on the easiest way out because that involves lesser thinking. I hope that the commercial makers step back a little & re-think at how they want to promote their brands because these days it’s nothing more than a musical hideous headache that one sees in the form of our commercials & the only preventive measure is to change the channel.
