Sometime back, famous TikToker Shahtaj Khan had claimed that Shadab Khan used to talk to her and they were in a talking phase. He later on ghosted her and married his current wife, daughter of veteran cricketer Mushtaq Ahmad and that was realy hurtful for Shahtaj Khan.

This is what Shahtaj Khan had claimed:

Shadab Khan has finally replied to such claims. He said that actresses say things like cricketers have messaged them. Even if they have messaged, they can ignore those texts. They talk about them just to get fame. Also if they start replying that means they are also interested.

This is what he had to say:

The ace Pakistani cricketer wrote, “Salam everyone. Alhamdulilah today was my nikah. I am becoming part of my mentor Saqi bhai’s family. When I started playing cricket, I wanted to keep my family life separate, my family has also opted to stay out of public light. My wife has asked for the same, she wants her life to remain private. I would kindly request everyone to respect her choice and our family’s choice. Shadab also said in a funny way, ‘if you want to send salami, I will send an account number’.

Pakistani cricket team is loved by fans all over the world. A few players are loved not only by Pakistani fans but also by international fans of the game. Shadab Khan is one such cricketer. People love his for his great bowling, intense batting and precise fielding. Shadab Khan also is known for his witty sense of humour.

Shadab is in New Zealand right now with the national team for the Tri-nation series among Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh which Pakistan won today in style. After the match, Pakistan Cricket Team interacted with some fans and also distributed their kits among them.

Shadab met a very intersting fan there as a girl proposed him. The New Zealandian fan said that she loves Shadab Khan and also proposed to her but he got super shy on that and did not answer anything.

This is the cute interaction of Shadab Khan and how shy he got to meet his fan:

People had a field day with Shadab Khan getting proposed and had the funniest reactions:

Once we had a thriving and booming film industry producing more than fifty urdu films every year which produced many prominent artists. Shabnum was one such artist who ruled Urdu cinema for almost two decades. Shabnum was from East Pakistan which separated in 1971 to become Bangladesh. After fall of film industry in early 90’s Shabnum went back to Bangladesh, though she returned in mid 1990’s for a brief stay of two/three years till departing permenantly in 1998-99.

The most successful heroine of Urdu cinema Shabnum was invited by Goverment of Pakistan and awarded life time achievement award in 2012 along with her husband musician Robin Ghosh.

Recently Shabnum had a telephonic conversation with Pakistani media in which is expressed her excitement on the news of revival of Pakistani cinema. Shabnum expressed best wishes for new breed of film makers. She is thankful to Pakistanis for the way she was cherished and welcomed upon her visit three years ago. She said, she can never forget the love of Pakistanis.
Shabum also said condolence to Ms. Parveen Saeed Haroon wife of Saeed A. Haroon who recently passed away in Karachi.

Urdu was not her first language, yet film star Shabnam became the poster girl for Lollywood in the 70s. She ruled the Pakistani cinema as she had it all from ethereal looks to grace and a powerful onscreen presence. There’s a good news for her fans because she is all set to appear in Pakistani film after decades.

A post shared by Saeed Lashari photography (@saeed.lashari_photographer) on Feb 24, 2017 at 9:54am PST

The Ace film-maker Syed Noor is planning to make the sequel of ‘Aaina’ with Nadeem Baig and Shabnam in the cast. The director has approached Shabnam for a prominent role in the film and according to reports the actress has agreed to be a part of the film.

Shabnam attained stardom across Pakistan with the box office hit “Chanda” (1962). She was introduced to the Pakistani film industry by ‘Chocolate hero’ Waheed Murad, who gave her a lead role in his film “Samundar” in 1968.

A post shared by Pakistani Cinema Official (@pakistanicinemaofficial) on Feb 15, 2017 at 5:22am PST

Shabnam had earlier demanded a strong script for her comeback in Pakistani cinema and Syed Noor has assured her that the sequel’s story will be entirely different and interesting whereas it will also have memorable roles for both Nadeem and Shabnam.

With these evergreen stars entering the industry again, we wish that Pakistani film industry once again experiences the golden era.

Shabnam Majeed is a famous Pakistani TV and film playback singer. She is known for her melodious voice and her gorgeous personality. Shabnam Majeed’s notable songs include Jugnuon Se Bhar Le Aanchal, Dil Cheez Hai Kiya Jaana, La Phir Ek Baar Woh, Tere Ishq Ki Intiha Chahta Hun, Supreme Ishq Anarkali and others. She has properly learned music before pursuing her career in music. The singer has a huge fan following.

Recently, Shabnam Majeed appeared in Suno TV’s show Suno To Sahi, hosted by Hina Niazi. In the show, she opened up about Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s smooth success.

Talking about the viral song Bado Badi, Shabnam Majeed said, “A song recently went viral; I think it crossed 27 million in a week. It was Madam Noor Jahan’s song, and he didn’t sing well; it was a ripoff of a brilliant song, and it was shocking to see the views. You get disappointed in your excellent work after seeing such examples. There are many artists who go viral for nothing”. Here is the link to the video:

It is pertinent to mention that Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s song Bado Badi became a viral phenomenon in 2024, it garnered 27 million views in a week but was removed due to copy right issues. His other songs also performed well on YouTube and social media platforms.

The evergreen film actress of yesteryear Shabnam is back in Pakistan for Karachi Press Club. While Shabnam is not working in local cinemas anymore but she can still break a million hearts with her smile and charishma.

One of the celebrated actress of 70’s is highly overwhelmed with the love she’s receiving from Pakistan which she considers as a home. When asked if she’ll like to work in Pakistani films once again, the Bangladeshi actress replied that she’s willing to work in Pakistani cinemas again. “Artists and sportspersons cannot be held back by borders. We build bridges for friendships. I was in Pakistan over four years ago, in 2012, and I was surprised that even the younger generation here knew about me. They wanted me to do films here, and quite frankly I have no issues with that,” she said, adding that if she finds good roles specially written with her in mind, she was definitely going to think about it.

She gave Pakistani cinema the most significant years of her life and will always be an important part of the industry. It will be great to see her back in the films, which will also promote better relationships with Bangladesh.

It seems that Mansha has finally got a role for herself which seems pretty different from the ones he has had been doing. It is to be sure that she has also made a good fan following which would definitely follow the show to see what new does she has to show in her acting.

Here are a few official clicks of the drama, speaking all about it, Have a look!

UN Women, is the UN organisation dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, has no specific agenda but to grab the opportunity to spread awareness against social norms surrounding gender roles, domestic sexism and mental and physical abuse.

The cast of Arth – The Destination or Arth 2: Shaan Shahid, Humaima Malick, Uzma Hassan and Mohib Mirza are on a similar mission. Team Arth has collaborated with the United Nations to launch a campaign called #EndViolenceAgainstWomen to speak up on and spread awareness regarding various forms of abuse – in order to terminate violence against women and girls.

Uzma Hassan who is playing the role formerly played by Shabana Azmi in the 1982 classic spoke on the respective subject explaining,

“When we speak of abuse, never does it occur to us that the concept of it could involve emotional havoc or embroil the internal sentimentality of a person or his/her psyche.”

She continued on to say,

“The mental image of abuse itself is that of a physical strike. But that’s not where it begins. Before it takes that form, a woman goes through psychological and emotional distress. That is what we need to speak of and that is where we need to begin our stories from.”

Shedding further light onto the subject, Humaima Malick elucidated,

“And to speak on this aspect of abuse is no minor a matter as the idea of it has always been misperceived. It’s about time that the victims start speaking up and unveiling their stories.”

Humaima also questioned,

“Who better than a woman who has been a victim of abuse to take a stand for herself and her rights? This is what motivates us to lead this campaign and empower women, whether they’re victims of not.”

Mohib Mirza, one of the lead characters of the film, frankly stated,

“We think that we have a right on other people’s lives. Sadly, that’s how we have been brought up. We feel absolute freedom in imposing our judgment on others, especially upon women. Such are the acts constituting and strengthening patriarchy in the society for a very long time now. We witness it but we don’t realise how poisonous it is.”

Speaking on the matter Shaan added,

“Arth is not just a piece of art. It speaks on actual issues, highlights real-life facts and reflects struggles that artists go through in their journey of life, especially female artists,” 

The actor-director concluded,

“In comparison, a male artist does not face as many hurdles as female artists do. The added patriarchy, apart from the rest of the career struggles, always gets in their way. It is not just unfair to the artists but also to womanhood as a whole. And we want to focus on exposing this reality and changing mindsets so that women don’t continue to suffer anymore. Gender equality must be achieved.”

We wish team Arth great success for the movie and this campaign, way to go folks!

First Shaan was missing from trailer launch of Yalghaar and then the premier. Obviously things were wrong somewhere. When director Dr. Hassan Rana introduced every actor of the movie for about 10 minutes each and forgot the name of Shaan; a reporter had to ask him why he is forgetting the lead actor and as they say jawab gol mol hi hua.

And now Shaan has responded to a person on facebook like this:

Shaan has not promoted the movie on any of his social media handles. So with this many question have arisen. Was using Shaan’s name just a promotional strategy? Is something wrong between Shaan and the makers? If Shaan is just making a guest appearance audience will be disappointed. The speculations will obviously be cleared after the release since Shaan has not given any official statement.

ARY Digital and Wasim Badami dedicated the last segment of the aftar transmission to Junaid Jamshed. Reciting his naat, Badami bid farewell to Ramzan and Junaid himself with a heavy heart.

The segment that started a year ago was hosted by Junaid Jamshed. This year, however, it was done in his memory as a tribute.

Actor Shan Shahid enjoys a special place in our film industry. He is considered as one of the most talented and experienced actors and also one who doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind, regardless of his audience or circumstances.

This time the unfortunate victim is the very hyped ‘Pepsi Battle of the Bands 2017’. People are already going gaga over it because of Fawad Khan and Atif Aslam’s grand presence as judges and their exclusive performances.

Fawad Khan got back to the music industry with a bang:

Atif Aslam was amazing as always:

However unlike most people, Shaan isn’t much impressed by this. In fact, he expressed his displeasure in a comment on facebook:
