Talking about it, he said, “It felt like a miracle because I had no idea or plan, yet it happened. I had always wished to have my Nikah in Saudi Arabia. I didn’t plan anything, but I had the will to make it happen. I had friends in both Makkah and Madina. One of my friends asked me about my plans, and I told him I had none. However, my wife had wished to have our Nikah in Madina. According to my friend, arrangements of Nikah in Makkah are easier than in Madina due to tight security and restrictions. But thankfully, it still happened. We were a group of 21 people. It was challenging because the security was very vigilant. A few security personnel had their doubts, but we managed to hold a quiet Nikah with just a few people present.”

Here are a few pictures from Omer Shahzad’s Nikah:

Ali Zafar is the rock star of Pakistan. He is a singer, songwriter, actor and producer. He is also an artist and he has now written a heart wrenching poem for slain content creator Sana Yousaf. Ali has many powerful women in his own life and he has always spoken about his mother and wife’s influence on his thoughts and mindset.

Sana Yousaf was just a 17 year old TikToker based in Islamabad who used to make content on her social media accounts. She was targeted by a man who liked her and wanted to be with her. The young star rejected his advances and that is what the man could not take. He targeted Sana in her home and shot her which resulted in her death on the spot.

Ali Zafar has written a poem for Sana Yousaf and many other women who have fallen victim to men’s violence. He shared that his heart was heavy after he heard the news and he wanted to express the pain he felt through words. He said that the onus falls on all men and how men need to be taught kindness and empathy. The star added unless we raise our sons right, we will keep losing our daughters.

This is the message Ali Zafar wants to share:

The tragedy of Sana Yousaf has left a heaviness I cannot shake. But this grief is not new. From Qandeel to Noor, the names change, the wound remains. The onus is on us — men. Until we unlearn what we were taught, and raise our sons with gentleness, empathy, and respect, we will keep losing the daughters of this land. I couldn’t carry this ache in silence, so I wrote. What I share today is not just poetry, but a prayer for change. English translation Love – Ali Zafar 4 June, 2025 Love is not to own, but to feel, to believe A woman is not a thing — she is whole, complete A man is he who smiles when he sees her fly Whose soul turns restless when he hears her cry Whose respect lives not in what she wears But in the quiet grace his gaze declares Love is not built on one side’s submission But held by equal worth, not silent permission Judge her not by beauty’s fleeting flame But seek the truth within her name What kind of man feels wounded pride By a woman’s power to turn aside? A real man wins her heart, not by demand or decree But with the strength of grace, and the soul to set her free #sanayousaf ♬ original sound – Ali Zafar

The internet is applauding Ali to say such powerful words. One user wrote, “This is what men need to learn.” Another said, “Brilliantly and beautifully explained.” One said, “May Allah give hidayah to these men.” Check out:

The public watches him host several shows during tournaments and his fun comments go viral all the time.

The statue looked interesting and not like Waseem Akram looks in reality. His cricket days bowling stance was the inspiration behind this statue. The face of the statue is completely different from what Waseem used to look like in his youth. The pictures are going viral now and the internet has a lot to say over this botched attempt at creating Waseem’s face.

Waseem Akram’s statue is getting trolled left, right and center. People are having a good laugh and everyone agrees it does not look like his real self at all. One user wrote, “Temu version of Waseem Akram.” Another said, “Ask Waseem if he is honoured by this atrocity or not.” One said, “Waseem with 100 face surgeries.” This is how the internet is reacting:

Engin Altan Düzyatan is a versatile and renowned Turkish film and TV actor who gained recognition in Pakistan after his popular historical series Diriliş: Ertuğrul was released in Urdu dubbing in 2020.

Engin Altan currently boasts a strong Instagram following of 5.2 million.

Engin Altan Düzyatan often speaks fondly of Pakistan. In a recent interview, he shared his memories from his trip to the country and narrated some interesting stories from his visit.

Engin Altan said, “My visit to Pakistan was truly amazing. You know, Pakistani people absolutely love the Ertugrul series. I once visited Karachi during COVID. Interestingly, no one in Pakistan seemed to believe in the virus — they kept saying it was a lie and that no one dies of it. And, surprisingly, no one was dying there. I had just arrived in Pakistan and was unpacking my luggage in my room when suddenly a bunch of people walked in. I said, “This is my room,” but they replied, “Yeah, yeah, come, come — we’re here for pictures,” without any regard for social distancing. It was crazy!”

He further added, “Later, I visited a famous mosque and was meeting with the Imam when, all of a sudden, the Masjid got flooded with people. Around 4,000 to 5,000 people rushed in. There was no security, and the crowd became so overwhelming that the national guards had to step in and rescue me. I was shocked — but to be honest, it was an amazing experience.” Here is the link to the video:

Talking to the press in Lahore, Humayun Saeed revealed about the earnings he is expecting from Love Guru keeping the response of public and market in mind. He also said that Mahira Khan’s presence is a plus point for him and film.

Talking to press, Humayun Saeed said, “I always set a reasonable target in my mind, but I my films usually end up doing better than that. Now, if I start thinking that the film will do 100 or 150 crores, and it doesn’t reach that mark, I’ll feel disappointed. I hope Love Guru earns around 50 crores in Pakistan, that would be enough for me. But I still believe it will do even better due to your prayers and support.” Here is the link to the video by Ambreen Fatima:

He further added, “The response so far has been very good — maybe even more so because of Mahira, and also because we’re coming back after ten years. After the international promotion, we are hopeful that this film will do great business and people will come to watch it.”

Danish Taimoor is one of the biggest stars in Pakistani dramas with multiple dramas reaching over 1 billion views. His success is massive which he is seen celebrating. But lately there has been a lot of debate about the content that he is saying Yes to. His on-air drama Mann Mast Malang was glorifying abusive tendencies. He has worked in Ishq Hai, Deewangi and Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi where once again we saw toxic men being glorified.

Alina Abbas Shah is a new actress who has chosen some very powerful roles. Her portrayal as Safina in Noor Jahan touched many hearts. She subtly became the voice of so many women in our society by sensitive portrayal of Safina. She has also spoken in interviews about how she plans on taking up responsible roles.

Alina Abbas Shah has called out Danish Taimoor for his choice of characters. She said that Danish needs to rethink his whole career. By glorifying abuse as romance in his dramas, he is encouraging many other men to not take No for an answer. She further added that if you are bringing toxic stories on the screens, justifying them as romance and continuing this trend because it runs your kitchen then it is wrong. A society which idolizes such people is wrong. This came up after the heartwrenching murder of Sana Yousaf where the guy could not take No for an answer.

This is what Alina Abbas Shah had to say about Danish Taimoor:

The internet agrees with Alina. One user wrote, “Danish has been doing these roles for the past 10 years and many psychopaths learn that this is love.” Another added, “Danish is to blame but the writers and directors are also at fault.” One said, “She is right. He has made boys think violence is okay in love.” Here is what the internet has to say:

Danyal Zafar is a singer and actor. He is also the brother of superstar Ali Zafar. The young artist has done a great job in acting with picking scripts like Standup Girl and Faraar. He is also known for his own style of music which is very different from what his brother Ali Zafar does. He was a guest on Ali Safina’s show and spoke about his career and family.

Danyal Zafar has his own sense of style. He has received a lot of backlash and criticism over the years. Many a times he was called a male Momina Mustehsan, his hair colour to accessory choices were called out while he has also been compared to influencer Nasir Khan Jan. He was asked about this while he was reacting to mean comments on Ali Safina’s show.

Danyal Zafar had a straight forward answer about criticism of his looks. He shared that there is this cookie cutter male look which we see on half the population nowadays that is acceptable. He clearly called out those beards with polo shirts and LV loafers which we have seen showcased in real life and in the media as male beauty. The artist said anything other than that gets criticized.

This is what he said:

Humayun Saeed revealed his definition of love. He shared that he did not know whether he was in love or not when he married his wife years ago. He just liked her and he knew that he wants this woman in his life forever. That is a feeling which he still holds. He frankly shared that he will look at a beautiful woman and he will think that she is pretty but Samina Humayun Saeed is the only woman that he will ever want in his life.

This is what he shared:

The actor went on to reveal how he expresses his love for Samina. He shared that his wife is not one of those women who are very expressive. She will look after every aspect of his life but she is not a woman of many words. Thus he is the one who will say those romantic words. Sometimes he will massage her feet just as a sweet gesture. Humayun Saeed shared that he also apologizes in a second if there is a disagreement and this is how he has always expressed his love.

Here is what he said:

Salma Hassan is a very talented artist. She started her career at a very young age and she has matured in front of the camera. She is seen in many big dramas. She was married to director Azfar Rehman and they share a daughter Fatima. The marriage ended in a divorce and Salma has raised Fatima since then. She is very open about challenges of parenting and how she has taken them on over the years.

Temper tantrums are pretty common among toddlers and lately we are seeing a generation which has less control over their emotions. Parenting is what eventually gets blamed for children not realizing how to behave in a stable manner. Salma Hassan shared a story of her own daughter and advised parents what to do when a child is throwing a tantrum.

Salma Hassan shared that her only child, Fatima once went to a mall with her and she wanted to buy a bag while she was only 3 years old. Salma did not want to buy the bag as it was expensive and her daughter was only 3. The child did not have it and had a full blown temper tantrum in the mall. She sat on the floor and started crying for a good 15 minutes. Salma still did not give up on her and walked away. The child then gave up and went with her mother but Salma did not give up on the tantrum.

Salma Hassan shared that you have to pick your battles as a parent but you cannot say Yes to everything:

Mahira Khan is coming back to cinemas with Love Guru. She was last seen in The Legend of Maula Jatt. She will be playing Sophiya Khan in Love Guru opposite Humayun Saeed. The lead actors have been on a big promotional tour internationally and nationally. They have given interviews, interacted with fans and had a generally great time while travelling through diferent cities.

Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed were recently interacting with media and Mahira had a special prayer for Love Guru. The film is a big one for Pakistani cinemas as not many big movies have come out since Maula Jatt. Mahira Khan not only prayed for the success of Love Guru herself. She asked everyone present there to join her for a collective prayer for her film’s success.

Mahira Khan was praying for Love Guru that how much it should earn. Humayun Saeed added to pray for a 100 crore box office. She then prayed that Love Guru earns at least 100 crore at the box office. She also asked the journalists to join in on her prayer. The film has been produced on a huge budget of 28 crores.

Here is what Mahira Khan is praying for:

@discoverpakistantv اللہ میاں! یہ فلم 100 کروڑسے بھی زیادہ کمائے! 😍❤ #MahiraKhan #LoveGuru #hamyunsaeed #MahiraInLoveGuru #blockbuster #PakistaniCinema #FilmBuzz #MahiraMagic #SupportPakistaniCinema #BoxOfficeGoals #FilmOfTheYear #DiscoverPakistan #whattowatch #whotofollow ♬ original sound – Discover Pakistan TV

People are not too impressed by Mahira’s dua. One said, “You don’t pray for films.” One added, “Pakistanis Jahalat is at its peak.” One sarcastically said, “You should ask Maulana Tariq Jameel to make dua for the movie.” This is how the internet reacted:

Aymen Saleem is a former Pakistani television actress who rose to fame through the hit Ramadan drama serial Chupke Chupke. She also appeared in Hum TV’s Ibn-e-Hawa and Paristan. Aymen boasts a strong Instagram following of 1.3 million. She got married to Kamran Malik in 2023 and is now the mother of an adorable son.

Recently, Aymen Saleem spoke out about the regressive plots that are constantly shown in Pakistani dramas and their negative impact on young minds. She also stated that current dramas are one of the reasons behind incidents like that of Sana Yousaf.

In her post, Aymen Saleem mentioned Mann Mast Malang’s obscene situation where the main lead Kabir ties his wife Riya with ropes and glorified it as romantic gesture.

Aymen Saleem wrote, “Enough is enough. I’m deeply disturbed by the way a recent drama is portraying abuse—tying up a woman with ropes, showing it in a romantic or bold light, and then normalizing it as part of a love story. This isn’t entertainment; it’s dangerous storytelling. In a country where women already face so much within marriage—patriarchy, emotional and physical abuse, societal pressure—media has the power to either reinforce or challenge toxic norms. Dramas should offer relief, empowerment, and progress, not drag us back into justifying harm in the name of love. We’ve made strides in showcasing strong, self-aware female leads and breaking generational curses—so why are we slipping back? To the writers, producers, channels, and especially the actors: you have influence. People look up to you. Please choose your scripts and stories responsibly. This is not just fiction—this shapes culture.”

She further added, “Just yesterday, I spoke about how our TV dramas romanticize abuse—glorifying control and reinforcing patriarchal mindsets. Today, a young girl has been murdered for simply saying no. This is exactly what I was talking about. A culture that mistakes control for love breeds entitlement—and that entitlement turns violent. My heart goes out to her friends and family. #JusticeForSanaYousaf”

Here is the scene from Mann Mast Malang about which Aymen Saleem mentioned in her post:

This is the thing! We are introducing voilance in a Suger coated way that every one fantasizes it and implements in his/her own life” Read the comments:

Khalil ur Rehman Qamar is a senior Pakistani writer and producer who is famously known for his excellent write-ups. His most popular dramas are Mere Paas Tum Ho, Boota from Toba Tek Singh, Landa Bazar, Bunty I Love You, Man Jali, Mera Naam Yousaf Hai, Main Mar Gai Shaukat Ali, Love Life Aur Lahore, Mohabbat Tum Se Nafrat Hai, Zara Yaad Kar, Pyare Afzal, Sunn Mere Dil and Mera Naam Yousaf Hai. His upcoming drama serial is Main Manto Nahi Hoon.

Recently, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar appeared in Abdul Hayee Siddiqui’s podcast for channel The Blue Truth Digital, in which he replied to Mahira Khan’s latest statement regarding him.

Talking about it, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar said, “She recently gave a statement on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, where she agreed with my opinion that she should have called me instead of tweeting against me. I respect her a lot—her gesture means everything to me. We have a relationship based on mutual respect. I was only upset about the fact that she could have called me. She had every right to say whatever she wanted, but in private. Her tweet was quite painful for me. Mahira has always been my allntime favourite, and she still is. Whenever I criticized her in the past, it only hurt me. Today, I watched that interview and texted her: “Today, all my complaints against you have vanished.” Here is the link to the video:

A few days ago, Mahira Khan talked to Ahmed Ali Butt on his podcast and admitted that her reaction towards Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar on his controversy with Marvi Sarmad was aggressive and she should have talked to KRQ in private. Mahira Khan said, “If you think I did wrong, yes, I did—I should have texted him. He is right; I could have asked him directly, but that was my mistake.” Here is the link to the video:

Dayan is a popular prime time drama serial on Geo TV, written by Fatima Faizan and Amber Azhar. It has been directed by Tere Bin fame director Siraj Ul Haq. The drama is produced by 7th Sky Entertainment and is considered one of the grand productions of Geo Entertainment. The cast includes Ahsan Khan, Hira Mani, Mehwish Hayat, Osama Tahir, Shamil Khan, Sohail Sameer, Zainab Qayyum, Afsheen Hayat, Nayyar Ejaz, and Nida Mumtaz. Dayan is among the top viewed Pakistani dramas, boasting high TRPs and viewership.

So far, 29 episodes of Dayan have aired on Geo TV. In recent episodes, Nihal undergoes plastic surgery and a complete transformation and returns to Zawar Shah’s house as the nanny of her own child, Hunain. Surprisingly, no one in the household recognizes her. In the latest episode, even her mother fails to recognize her which sparks debate among Dayan viewers, who feel the creative liberties taken by the makers have become excessive and unrealistic.

Dayan viewers are quite angry at the makers for fooling the audience with obvious execution flaws. Many didn’t even buy Nihal’s mother’s blind reaction upon meeting her daughter. A social media user wrote, “Have they all gone blind? Are they suffering from black cataract that they’re unable to recognize Nihal?” Another commented, “A mother should be able to recognize her daughter immediately. She didn’t even know she had died — and they live in the same house. A daughter’s look can change, but not that much.” One viewer remarked, “She is easily recognizable, yet the mother doesn’t even recognize her own daughter. It’s a slow and poorly written story.” Another fan added, “Does makeup and a hairstyle change make a person look so different that even their real mother can’t recognize her own child? There’s a limit to absurdity.” Read the comments:

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan is an entertainer who became famous in a very short period of time. He is a singer who makes his own tracks though many people disagree that he can be called a singer. He has appeared on many shows and he has also performed live. He was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and defended himself against all the criticism that he keeps getting.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan spoke about how many people are jealous of him and he knows that they do not consider him a singer. He revealed that many other singers refuse to perform at any event that he is performing at. He added that many Pakistani singers and musicians do not like him and they have a lot of arrogance.

This is what he shared:

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan further added that Noor Jahan did not become famous due to Bado Badi. Neither Mumtaz got fame due to that song. He also said that his song is totally different from the original Bado Badi. He said everyone is doing “chaan chaan” for no reason. My song is for females and it is totally different. People ask stupid questions. I am doing what I enjoy and people who criticize can go their own way.

Listen to his defense:

Parwarish is a drama airing on ARY Digital. The show is dealing with the problems of Gen Z and talking about different parenting styles. The drama has a big cast and everyone is doing justice to their characters. Wali played by Samar Jafri has been thrown into a pickle once again. His car gets confiscated by the police after an accident happens. He was rescued by his uncle Suleman and Parwarish fans are loving Suleman.

Suleman played by Saad Zameer Fareedi has once again turned out to be a parent we want to see more of in our society. He understands that the kid has made a mistake but he never got aggressive. Jahangir, on the other hand, was aggressive and slapped Wali. Suleman instead defended him and told his brother off. He directly told him that his behaviour is the cause why his son never shares anything with him. He also tried to solve everything is a gentle way while making Wali understand what went wrong.

Here are a few clips of why Suleman is the best parent in Parwarish:

The internet is loving Suleman’s parenting style. The way he defended Wali and how he is with his own children. One wrote, “Suleman and Pannah are definitely the best parents.” Another added, “Suleman may not have earned a lot of money but he has earned respect in his children’s eyes.” One said, “Wali is lucky to have such a chachu.” This is what they had to say:
