Singer and activist Shehzad Roy released a new song on Monday night and its music video features cameos by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. These are not the real Modi and Abhinandan but it’s close enough. The song, ‘Kon Kis Ka Aadmi Hai’, is about who’s in whose pocket and who’s backstabbing whom.

It features a few lines about the Indian premier and his conspiracies. Roy also pokes fun at India by reminding them of how Pakistan downed its plane and served pilot Abhinandan tea and biscuits. Abhinandan was the pilot of an Indian plane shot down by the Pakistan Air Force in February 2019. He was later released after being served tea and serving us with the meme-able line ‘The tea was fantastic’.

‘Kon Kis Ka Aadmi Hai’ also accuses Modi of spreading hate. The song was written by Nadeem Asad. The music video also features Roy’s son Sikandar Alam Roy on the drums. At the end of the video he walks away and his father asks “Who’s going to pick up this drum, your father?” Eventually, his father has to pick it up.

Shahzad Roy is one of the most promising singers of Pakistan. He has recorded six albums since 1995. His famous songs include; Saali, Teri Soorat, and Qismat Apne Hath Mein.

He is a social worker and humanitarian as well. He owns a trust named ‘Zindagi Trust’ that strives to improve the quality of education available to the average Pakistani. He has been awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, Sitaar-i-Imtiaz, and Sitara-i-Eisaar. Shahzad was also selected to be a torchbearer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Shahzad Roy is very vocal about social issues. Whenever he sees something wrongdoing in our society he raises his voice. Nowadays, we all have heard sexist jokes around us and it’s nothing new but as we get to hear these jokes on a daily basis we are quite used to it.

Shahzad Roy posted a picture on social media with a message  of “Say no to sexist jokes #Notfunny.”

Let’s try to follow this and say a big no to sexist jokes!

The forever young Shehzad Roy performed “Come Together” by the Beatles band along with Macy Gray, Slash and Matt Sorum from American hard rock band Guns N’ Roses.

The performance is from an event titled “The arts and social change in Pakistan” which happened in 2013. It was focused on students to make them aware of the changes achieved through arts and music across Pakistan.

Shehzad Roy who has been part of our childhood is still rocking the stage with his brilliant performances. He shared a throwback video wearing black shalwar kameez and captioned, “Performing with Macy Grey and Slash and Matt Sorum from #GunsN‘Roses was just 2 cool.”

Our hearts bleed on the atrocities our Kashmiri brethren are bearing at the hands of the Indian army. Kashmir bled and no one uttered a word. United Nations or the so called flag bearers of peace are nowhere to be seen. Shahid Afridi pointed it out and questioned this cruelty on twitter. Shahid Afridi even went on to say that he will not play in IPL if he get asked to. Consequently, Indian media and even players from across the border started bashing him on this.

Shehzad Roy took to Twitter today and supported Shahid Afridi on his stance. This is what he had to say:

Hope Kashmiris get the justice they deserve and Pakistan will always stand with their Kashmiri brethren!

Shehzad Roy is a singer, musician and activist who has worked a lot on the progress of education in Pakistan through his trust Zindagi. He has won several awards including the highest civilian awards by the Government of Pakistan or his work for earthquake victims as well as his efforts in the education sector.

Shehzad Roy has spoken to Fuchsia Magazine about his work with schools and his motivations behind all the good that he does in the country. Shehzad shared that he actually does not do any of the good work with the motivation of sawab. He shared that his mother does a lot of charitable deeds for sawab like helping others financially or getting someone married but that has never been his motivation.

He said that his motivation is bringing reforms in the education sector as reforms are what will bring equity in society. He is doing this because he wants everyone to have euqla opportunities in this country and he has fought tooth and nail to get that done.

Here is Shehzad Roy revealing his motivations behind his work for Zindagi Trust:

Singer Shehzad Roy has recently responded to famous Indian actor Anupam Kher’s tweet in which he praised the viral Pakistani video but he wrongly captioned it and claimed that the the kids belong to India. The singer humbly corrected the actor on his caption.

Anupam turned to Twitter with a viral video of talented kids from Hunza, who were giving brilliant performance playing with manual instruments, Indian actor claimed that they were from an Indian village.

Anupam Kher tweeted,

भारत के किसी गाँव में कुछ बच्चो ने मिलकर अपना एक बैंड तैयार किया है।इस बैंड के पास कोई आधुनिक साज़ो सामान नहीं है।और इन्होंने धुन भी क्या चुनी है! मिलिट्री बैंड की।क्योंकि ये जानते हैं कि “असली पावर दिल में होती है!!” इन बच्चों की जय हो।किधर हैं ये बच्चे? 😍😎🇮🇳 @Bengaluruhudugi pic.twitter.com/e6TjweFRwJ

— Anupam Kher (@AnupamPKher) August 18, 2021

The Tera Mukhra singer then responded to the claims made by Anupam Kher, saying “Sir AnupamPKher Thanks for sharing the video I shared a few days back. You say that these talented kids are from Bharat, a humble correction, these kids are in fact from Hunza, Pakistan. I am in touch with them and have sent them all the musical instruments they need.”

Previously, Shehzad Roy had shared the same video on August 11 and asked his fans to find the location of these kids so that he could provide them with the essential instruments which they might need. Here is Shehzad Roy’s tweet for the record.

Please somebody tell me where are these kids and I’ll give them all the instruments they need 🙏 pic.twitter.com/e4Tq24KFMR

Lately, Anupam Kher tweeted and said that he accepts that he captioned without information. He further praised Shehzad Roy and urged him to keep on doing great work.

He has done a lot of work as a philanthropist and Pakistanis have always appreciated him for his awareness and goodness. Education is a topic close to his heart but this time Shehzad has come forward with a song that breaks gender stereotypes and talks about women empowerment.

Sajal Aly has taken up the leading role in the song and as we all know she is the perfect actress and does every role to perfection. She has portrayed the agony, longing and talent of an average woman out there perfectly on screen.

Shehzad Roy is the evergreen singer and Sajal is one of the top actresses of Pakistan and both have brought forth great chemistry on scree. They are making people fall in love with their pair and at the same time also with the message of the song Tum Ho To.

Shehzad Roy is a singer, artist and activist. He is known not just for his banger songs but also the good work that he has done for the country.

He is persistent and he has worked a lot in the education sector of Pakistan as he thinks that imparting education to all is the most important thing that can be done.

Shehzad Roy’s foundation has been adopting government schools and they have transformed them into great spaces. He has been facing an issue where people are throwing garbage into a school that he has rehabilitated. He alongside his students took an initiative and made an appeal against this practice.

People are appreciating Shehzad’s work and emotional appeal and asking the residents to have a conscience or get fined:

Pakistani singer and social worker Shehzad Roy is back with a cause. Since a long time after establishing himself as a successful pop singer within the country, he started to spend more of his wealth and concern for the welfare of the society, considering education as the foremost important thing.

As per his plans of spreading awareness and collecting funds for his organization, Shehzad Roy will soon be performing with one of the most prominent US bands, the Guns ‘N’ Roses in Los Angeles.

Excited about the move, Roy said:

 “It’s a big honor to perform with such names. Guns N’ Roses is the number one band in US. [Sadly], Pakistan is known internationally to export other items however, this is something different and way beyond it,”

On the other hand, Storum is delighted about their upcoming venture and shared:

“I feel this collaboration is a solid step towards building bridges of peace between the East and West. Music is the universal language of humanity. If Shehzad and I can join hands to help children, then maybe others will join us in a global effort to educate younger generations about each other’s cultures,”

Shehzad Roy enjoyed a huge applause for his initiated ‘Chal Parha’ program which he started with the collaboration of Geo TV but much to surprise; Roy will not be performing his latest song in the Music Gala, but will be performing a new song called Land of pure.

We wish him all the very best for his future endeavors.

Blessings,

Let’s see what Shehryar Munawar has in store for us this time!

Valentines Day every year comes with a lot of debates in Pakistan. Many people like to celebrate it and others have opinions against it. But like any controversial topic, Valentines Day also gets its fair share of memes and humour and mostly it is from people who are single themselves and do not hold any strong opinions on any side of the debate. This year the winner of Valentines Day humour is hands-down Shehryar Munawar Siddiqui. The actor posted a picture on his Instagram with the love of his life and it is down right hilarious.

Shehryar is all set to star in Parey Hut Love this year and according to the reports his Project Ghazi will also be coming out soon. So, with everything well and good in his life, it is nice to see Shehryar having a great time with his Valentines:

Remember the cutesie Shehryar Munawar we saw in Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Mile. Shehryar played a dumb boy and totally stole our hearts with his performance and cuteness. Just take a look at him. Doesn’t he look heart-melting:

But the star has lately been changing his appearance and changing into to name it right a total badass. He has bulked up his physique for his upcoming movie Project Ghazi and with his latest shoot for OK Pakistan for which he is the cover star this month, he has definitely raised the temperatures. Have a look:

What do you think of Shehryar’s transformation? Share your thoughts!

Another heart-throb is off the market as he is now engaged. Shehryar Munawar has been loved by millions since the start of his career. From Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Milay to Ho Mann Jahan, people have always loved him and followed him. Shehryar Munawar Siddiqui is totally a film actor now as the actor has shifted to movies since the last few years.

His latest film Parey Hut Love will be released this year where he is starring opposite Maya Ali and Ahmed Ali Butt and Zara Noor Abbas will also be seen in the film. He got engaged to his future better-half this Saturday in an intimate ceremony. The lady is a doctor and not much has been disclosed about her yet. Check the happy couple:

Shehryar Munawar and Maya Ai are the leads of the upcoming film Parey Hut Love.

Sadaf Kanwal is a model and an actress of Pakistan. She is one of the most stylish and bold Pakistani models who has bagged a number of awards till now.

Likewise, Kinza Hashmi is a versatile and prominent Pakistani actress who has marked herself in industry in a short span of time with her powerful performances.

Recently, Kinza Hashmi, Shehroz Sabzwari and Sadaf Kanwal were spotted together at the set of Jeeto Pakistan League. The celebrities enthusiastically participated in different games and segments along with their particular teams. Here we have gathered some beautiful pictures of our celebrities from GMP, have a look!

Everyone was excited about today because it was the date that Pakistan’s first ever superhero movie was supposed to be launched. Alas, things didn’t go as planned for ‘Project Ghazi’ as the premiere of the film turned out to be the biggest nightmare of all involved in the project. A lot of technical difficulties surfaced during the screening of the film, making it an unbearable watch and so just a day before it’s release date, it got postponed.

Guess who stepped in to talk about this on their instagram page?

Sheheryar Munawar? No.

Syra Shahroz? No.

Humayun Saeed? No.

It is Shahroz Sabzwari! And that too to promote his own film!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BWhYGBegvNV/

But we got to give it to him for making the post that clearly mocks ‘Project Ghazi’ cheesy and cute. The ‘love you’ aimed at his wife, at the end of the caption is just adorable.

Shehroz’s Chain Aye Ga’s trailer was heavily criticised by everyone on social media.Now social media is having the discussion that both Project Ghazi and Chain Aye Na are competing with each other in a contest of “Battle of the Failures”.

Despite everything, we hope and pray that Project Ghazi’s technical difficulties are all sorted out and it comes back as an amazing film. Being our country’s first superhero film it’s success will make a great example for its followers!

The doors of Bollywood have opened for many Pakistani actors till date. The next actor from Pakistan to star in a Bollywood movie is a youngster who started his career from modelling and is now an actor and a model. Shehroz Sabzwari will be seen in Bengali director Riingo Banerjee’s upcoming film titled Luv Story. Shehroz Sabzwari talked to Dawn News about his Bollywood debut, talking about it he said, “Producer Shamik Basu scouted me after coming across my Hum TV Awards performance as well as a few pictures. He said he wanted to launch me into Bollywood which was obviously great news to me……….There are so many superstars going to Bollywood and it is such a monumental opportunity.”

Shehroz Sabzwari admits that he doesn’t think of himself as a superstar but “Nonetheless, it was nice to know someone was willing to put that kind of faith in me.”

“Basu and I looked at a couple of scripts but nothing clicked, nothing was strong enough for a debut until the script for Luv Story came along.”

The actor is looking forward to work with the Bollywood  directors and actors “I’m also really excited to work with Riingo as he will be making his debut in Bollywood as well. He is essentially a Bengali director and I have immense respect for that industry, as it is full of highly-educated individuals and has produced brilliant filmmakers.” Giving the details about he got selected for the film Sheroz said, “Riingo liked my look and thought I suited the character. However, I wasn’t instantly cast. They were looking at other options and about a month after I sent over audition tapes from Pakistan that [my wife] Syra (Yousef) helped me record did I learn that I had been selected for the role. It’s truly an honour because the project will be commercial entertainment without losing the essence of the art of filmmaking.”

The other actors who will be seen in the film are Riya Sen, Zarina Wahab, Aryann, Bidita Beg and Mukesh Tiwari among others.  Shehroz Sabwari will be going to India in January, we wish him all the best.

Syed Noor’s upcoming movie Chain Aye Na has received an extremely bad response from the general public. The scenes, the teaser, the promos and all have build up a very sultry image, due to which lead actors have to face the brunt of masses.

Miss Pakistan USA Sarish Khan and Shehroz Sabzwari will be making their cinematic debut with the movie. Both the actors are excited for the movie and think that it is totally different from what people perceive it to be. While talking to a local publication house about his upcoming movie, Sabzwari said that he completely supports his film and did nothing wrong.

“My response to all the criticism was whatever I said, I stand by that. I feel criticism is always healthy, we take it, we accept it. All I was trying to get at was that you can say a certain trailer is “bad” or ”ugly looking” or whatever but you can’t say “don’t go and watch the film“, that’s not healthy journalism and I stand by that.

“Also, I would like to remind everyone that trailers are just a one-minute thing compared to a three-hour film, so let’s see how the film is. When we watched the movie, time just flew by. The movies that had good trailers didn’t exactly turn out to be good movies so let’s not be disheartened. I watched Balu Mahi’s trailer and I was blown away, I thought it looked like a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film which is great for our industry but then I saw the movie and I thought they could’ve told the story in a better manner. I have complete faith in Chain Aye Na.”

“I get that people have high expectations from me but I promise I won’t just do an aiwein film. I own what I’ve made. Those people who are waiting for a Syed Noor film and Shahroz Sabzwari film, it’s going to be a treat for them Insha Allah.”

Talking about the genre and the story that the film has been set in, he further clarified:

“It’s set in 2017, the tone of the movie is new, it’s very much a modern day love story. I understand the trailer has people perplexed but honestly, it didn’t do justice to the movie we’ve made. We realized that, we reworked and lifted the trailer a bit and it has more than 500,000 views on YouTube now. It’s a fresh, romantic film and you won’t know what’s going to happen till the very end, it’s going to keep you hooked.”

Shehroz Sabzwari has high expectations with the movie, but we can’t say the same. No matter how much he clarifies and justifies, we still feel that the movie has a vulgar look to it. Well, we will have to wait and see how it turns out to be.

Syra Shahroz and Shehroz Sabzwari are one of the most favorite couples of the Pakistani industry. Syra is a VJ, model, and actress. She is one of the highest-paid actresses. Shehroz is a model and actor who has gained millions of followers for his work in different drama serials.

The couple started dating in 2006 when Syra was just 18 and Shehroz was 19 at that time. They had many ups and downs in their relationship but deep down they knew they were made for each other.

The beautiful couple got married in 2012 and they have a beautiful daughter together named Nooreh Shehroz. The father and mother of Nooreh keep posting cute pictures and videos of her.

Shehroz posted a cute video of Nooreh captioned as, “Makeup + Hiccups = My heartbeat.”

Visiting the two Holy places is a dream of every Muslim. Its a wish of every Muslim to visit Makkah and Madina at least once in their lives. It gives one a feeling of peace and divinity when you set your feet on the Holy soil. And to take your parents with you and to perform this duty with them is a blessing everyone hopes for. It was a blessing for Shehroz Sabzwari when he performed Umrah with his mother. The actor was loving the feel of the environment and shared moments with his fans on his Instagram.

Shehroz even went to visit Jabl e Noor and shared his feelings when he prayed there. The mother-son duo also shared pictures when they visited Madina. Here are some pictures from their Umra trip:

May Allah bless every Muslim to have a chance to visit these Holy places!

Shehroz Sbazwari has has been having a rock n roll time with so many projects his way from both the TV and film industry. The actor has very recently enjoyed the amazing response from his movie Chein Aei Na.

Now, he is all set for the new drama to be aired on A-Plus after Eid with the Maan and Mannat’s famous director Amin Iqbal.

Amin Iqbal has recently posted a picture showing the hard work involved in their project.

The other leads of the play include Anum Aqeel and Nousheen Hassan. Both of them are always fully able to imbibe the personality of their particular roles.

Talking about his character, Shehroz Sabzwari said he is playing a very serious guy, which he admits doesn’t come naturally to him, so took a lot of effort. He said the play is centred on family issues and values and is bound to break a good many stereotypes. And that is one solid reason to look forward to it.

Shehroz Sabzwari, son of Behroz Sabzwari and his wife Syra Shehroz share this amazing chemistry and mutual understanding. They are excelling in their careers by every passing day. Both have done a lot of TV serials, TVC’s and they appeared together in “Tanhaayan Nae Silsily” which was shot before they got married. They did “Rishta Hai Jesy Khwab Sa” after they got married back in 2013.

Both Syra and Shehroz have made their Debut’s in films as well. Shehroz with his “Chain Aye Na” and Syra did a lead role in “Chalay Thay Sath” and “Project Ghazi” before that she did a guest appearance in “Ho Mann Jahan”.

Syra and Shehroz have done some photo shoots together along with that they are often seen together at events like Film premiers, celebrity weddings, Fashion Shows, Award Shows, Product launches, TVC’s. Every picture of the couple shows how they have managed to keep a spark in their married life.

This couple has done some wonderful performances in different award shows i.e. Hum Style Awards and Lux Style Awards and in wedding events as well and proved themselves to be made for each other and proved themselves to be “The Couple goals”.

Yasir Hussain has now become a popular name who has gained popularity thorough comedy and hosting. He has written a few scripts as well. The actor’s popularity even rose when he got married to Iqra Aziz.

Not only this, he is also famous for his controversial statements regarding actors and social issues.

When it comes to passing statements ,he’s unapologetic and bold. Recently he did same he took jibes on many actors.

In his statement about Shehroz he said that Shehroz Sabzwari needs to stay on TV. He did film Chain Aye Na uselessly.

Talking to Express Tribune answering to his statement Shehroz replied, ” I own all my characters and my films. One of them Chain Aye Na was a dead flop, but I own it. I think everyone should do that too. A bad film or a character that doesn’t work for you should never define your potential. An actor is only done when he tells himself in the mirror that he is done,” said Sabzwari.

He once again said , “But again, Yasir is entitled to his opinion and if you ask me mine, I will say that I respect all the actors around me. Even someone who plays a minor role is significant to me because when the camera is rolling, even saying ‘Assalamualaikum, kaisay hain aap’ becomes a task.”

He may have done his first film role in a family project, Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay (directed by his uncle Javed Sheikh, and starring as the younger self of the character of his other uncle, Saleem Sheikh), but the young TV actor Shehroz Subzwari is taking the big leap to Bollywood strictly on his own terms.

Instead of hankering after a mainstream Bollywood role alongside A-list stars, Shehroz is making his B-town debut with the lead role in noted Bengali director Riingo Banerjee’s debut Hindi film, Luv’s Story.  “It may not be a run-of-the-mill masala movie, but it ticks all the boxes for me as an actor,” said Shehroz, while talking to Instep.

About landing the role, he shared that the producer Shamik Basu scouted him. “To be honest, I don’t have a brilliant body of work to show, and obviously I’m no Fawad Khan,” he said modestly, “But Shamik Basu felt that I could do something in Bollywood. Nothing worked out for a while, and then I received the script for Luv’s Story. Riingo Banerjee is a brilliant director from Bengal and is very particular about his actors. He liked my look, but I still had to send audition tapes. So Syra and I shot a few scenes and sent the tapes over, and thankfully he approved.”

A romantic thriller, Luv’s Story will see Shehroz play the role of the titular character, a young boy with subnormal intelligence. He stars alongside Bengali actors, Bidita Bag and Aryaan (picture in the first look above). According to Times of India, the film is based on three best friends who grow up together in an orphanage in Kalimpong, a hill station in West Bengal. While Shehroz’s character Luv isn’t the brightest on the block, his friend MC is sharp as a knife, and on the lookout for ways to get rich quick. Together, they form a love triangle with Kushali, who has eyes on Luv and is adored by MC. After a murder takes place, the film takes a turn as Luv becomes the prime suspect.

“I’m very happy that I’ve gotten in touch with the right people; Bengalis are known to be highly educated people, and it’s an honour to be selected by them. I want to make Pakistan and my family proud,” he added. Shehroz will be flying across in the end of January to begin shooting for Luv’s Story in Calcutta and Kalimpong.
