After partition in 1947, Manto migrated to Pakistan where he passed away in 1955 at a rather young age of 42. After his death he was awarded Nishane Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan.
Manto was famous for his unique style of writing. Though accused and trialed for alleged obscenity for few of his short stories, the accusations proved wrong in the court. Before partition in Bombay,British India, Manto wrote stories and script of many films in late 1930 and 1940’s before migrating to Pakistan. Despite all the controversies Manto is now considered a prominent name of Urdu Literature. Manto never wrote any novel.

Beli
In Pakistan the showbiz scene starts from film Industry where first film Teri Yaad was released in 1948 and proved dead flop at box office. The infant film industry was struggling due to lack of finance and skilled workers, however gradually the situation was stabilized.
Beli released in 1950 was the only film/drama which Saadat Hassan Manto wrote himself. Beli introduced few artists which later proved assets of Pakistani films. Sabiha Khanum, Santosh Kumar and music composer Rasheed Attray made their debut from this film. Director Masud Parvez later also provided many remarkable films like Koel, Intizar, Heer Ranjha. The film also starred Shahina Ghaznavi who is step khala(aunt) of Salma Agha,i.e. daughter of Anwari Begum and Rafiq Ghazanvi.
Saadat Hassan Manto passed away in 1955 so Beli in 1950 is the only film which he wrote himself. After Beli few films were adapted from his short stories.

She is married to Geo TV’s anchor Shahzeb Khanzada who is also the writer of her ongoing drama series Case No 9.
Recently, Rushna Khan appeared in the Geo TV’s Podcast, hosted by Mubashir Hashmi. In the podcast, she opened up about getting Case No 9 offer and her experience working with Faysal Quraishi and Saba Qamar.
Talking about how she was offered Case No. 9, Rushna Khan said, “Case No. 9 was a dream project for me. The way it was written, then I acted in it, what I experienced was surreal because its set was especially designed. It was a courtroom drama, and all the actors admitted that they were doing such a drama for the first time. They all told me that it was the first time that they were working in such a setting, and this idea emerged in front of me, and then the way it was executed is something great. We should make such dramas more and more.
Talking about how she was offered, Rushna said, “I was called by 7th Sky Entertainment when they were signing the actors, and I was so happy to receive the offer, and when I heard about the cast, I got excited because they all were big names.”
Talking about Kiran’s character, she said, “Kiran is a layered character; she is quiet from the outside, but there is a storm inside her.’ Kiran and Kamran were old friends, then they got married, and then she became a mother; she is already dealing with postpartum depression when she had to face this; this was challenging to play Kiran”
Talking about working with big names, she said, “I was a bit confused when I realised I have to work with Saba Qamar and Faysal Quraishi, but I am the kind of actor who shuts off all the thoughts when I go into the scene. But with Faysal, Saba and all the actors, they made me feel so comfortable. He did not show me that I am something lesser and he’s a big star.”
Talking about Saba Qamar, she said, “Saba Qamar is a powerhouse; she is so into her work, she is so talented, and she is so hard-working. She is a combination of both. I was in awe of her; the way she performed crying scenes, she aced it. I think only Saba Qamar could do Case No. 9.”

Rubya Chaudhry is a popular actress and model who has always amazed people with her style and graceful personality. She has worked in several projects including Zibahkhana, Manchalay, Siyaah and Parchayee. Her most recent project was a short film ‘Bench’ which won at the South Shore Film Festival, New York.
Rubya Chaudhry has recently talked about an important matter which is divorce. In our society, there is a stigma attached around divorce and due to this many women are stuck in an abusive marriage.
Rubya Chaudhry tied the knot with musician Meekal Hasan in 2016 and they kept their life private however nobody knew that they got divorced but after a long time, Rubya has opened up about her divorce.
She shared, “I always knew people can be crass and ill-mannered, but there isn’t anything like experiencing it first hand. I don’t even so much as humour these types usually, but in some situations, one just HAS to put their foot down.”
Talking about her marriage and divorce she said, “I got married a few years ago and then got divorced super quickly after. And that’s that really. Never really put my private life up for people to speculate about in the first place, but I don’t blame them for being curious about such matters.”
“Well, now you know. I’d also like to add that divorce doesn’t always mean sadness and death and hayay hayay yeh kya hogya! Hayayyy bachi ki zindagi tabaaah ho gai! It could also mean bachi ki zindagi tabaah honay say BACH gayee. It also means a second chance at love, at life, at all the wonderfully amazing chapters that may have never actualized had you chosen the dead-end as your destiny. Choose to thrive. Choose divorce if it ain’t your scene and stop worrying about all the ill-mannered and crass people around,” she added.
She also shared the reason for writing this note and said, “And I didn’t have to share this. But this is not just about me, it’s about the hundreds of thousands of women who are made to feel like they should be ashamed if their marriages didn’t work out, who are told time and again by their own husbands and in-laws that there’s something wrong with them, that they need to change themselves to fit into some mould of the perfect wife (whatever that is), who’s gaslighted continuously and stripped of their vibrant personalities.”
In the end, she said, “Basically what I’m saying is… Alhamdulillah. Kuch toh log kahain gay, Logon ka kaam hai kehna, Chhoro baykaar ki baaton main, Kaheen beet na jayay raina.”

She has been part of the media industry for around thirty years and has worked with legendary PTV actors. Her notable projects include Gustakhiyan, Khabarnak, Gugu Café, and Chal Mera Putt 2 & 3. Currently, Ruby Anum makes fewer television appearances due to her heart condition; however, she still appears in interviews and occasional comedy shows.
Recently, Ruby Anum appeared on Sabih Sumair’s podcast, where she made rude remarks about senior Pakistani television and film artist Bushra Ansari. She mocked Bushra for frequently updating fans about her travels.
Talking about Bushra Ansari, she said, “Bushra Ansari is my favorite — I like her — but this is a lie. She should rest now. She’s not at an age where she should constantly be filming vlogs while packing her luggage for abroad and saying, ‘I’m packing up for abroad.’ Stop it! You’ve become old now; you’re even older than our mothers. Asma Abbas is a great person — she respects me and gives me protocol — I can’t say this to her face, but why are you people so over? What is it that doesn’t let you stop from doing such over-the-top things? Why to go for a matching pair of shoes with every outfit, what is with having so much make up on faces which doesn’t even suit you and I can’t understand why? They don’t even have that beautiful faces” Here is the link to the video:
Ruby Anum is a famous Pakistani artist. She has been working in theatre and dramas for three decades. She is known for her bold personality and flamboyant fashion. She is also very blunt and she will say what is on her mind without caring about how the world will react. She was a guest on GNN Studio Podcast and spoke about her life.
Ruby Anum spoke about marriages, increasing divorces and how her fellow colleagues have spoken about accepting divorces as normal. She shared her point of view on the topic and revealed her own mother’s advice to her.
Ruby Anum said that she has seen how her fellow artists are sharing nowadays how their divorces freed them. They share the painful lives they had before and how getting divorced made it easier. Ruby said that such things should not be said on television. Instead the positives of marriage should be highlighted. She went on to share that her own mother asked her before her Nikkah if she was really ready for marriage as her father had passed away and she had three married sisters. Her mother told her that there will be no place for her back and she needs to live with her husband from then on. She added that even when encountering issues, look for a solution and not dissolution of marriage. She criticized women who speak about ending their marriages after years.
This is what she said:
The internet is not really agreeing with her. One user wrote, “These people are promoting the wrong stuff.” Another added, “Islam has allowed a woman to seek khula. There is nothing wrong with it.” One said, “What if the man is burning you alive.” Here is the reaction:
Ruby Anum is a seasoned Pakistani TV, stage and theatre actor who is admired for her great comedy and popular stage shows.and films. She also worked in Indian Punjabi cinema. The actor recently made headlines on social media after calling out senior artist Bushra Ansari. She said that Bushra Ansari should now take rest in life should act as per her age. She also called out Asma Abbas for her over the top fashion choices but she apologized to Bushra Ansari after senior people from the media industry scolded her for her statement against Bushra Ansari.
Recently, Ruby Anum has given an interview to the YouTube channel Dramay bazian. In the interview, she gave a few more statements about Bushra Ansari and gave a closure to the controversy.
Talking about Bushra Ansari, Ruby Anum said, “You remembered my naughtiness and my bad remarks about you, but you didn’t remember the good deeds I did for you. When you were in Canada, I had an interview in the morning and your interview was scheduled for the evening. I spoke to my brother Badar Muneer, sent my best wishes to you, and conveyed messages for you — but you didn’t remember that. Yet, the one time I said something bad, it spread all over the internet. When you speak the truth, people don’t accept it. After Rashid Mehmood, Mohsin Gillani, and Amma (from Amma, TV Aur Mein) encouraged me and made me realize that I had made a mistake, I accepted my fault and cleared the air. Bushra Ansari is the biggest name in the Pakistani entertainment industry — there is no doubt about that.”
She further added, “My fight has ended now. Those who don’t respect their seniors can never be successful in life. We should behave as seniors ourselves. It was Asma Abbas who truly played the role of a senior and made me understand. I sincerely apologized, and once again, I apologize from the bottom of my heart to Asma Abbas.”
