Talking about Iqrar’s marriages, Qurutulain says that she respects everyone’s opinion about her husband’s marriages. She thinks that people can feel a certain way about this and it is okay. They had their own circumstances and the decisions were taken because of that. She added that many people in this country live like this but they are noticed more because they work in media.
Here is her opinion on Iqrar’s marriages being questioned by the world:
She also spoke about how she felt about sharing her husband. She said that she has never shared Iqrar.

She is confident in her skin and she always posts her pictures with her husband, son and friends without fearing any public scrutiny. She went on a Europe trip and she posted pictures despite her weight gain.
It seems like Qurutulain Iqrar was working on her weight and she has achieved her goal as she debuted a new picture with a stunning weight transformation. She was wearing a navy blue suit and she looked so fit. Here is how she is looking now:
The change in her weight has been gradual but visible. This is how she is looking now vs how she was looking a few months back:
The internet is applauding Qurutulain Iqrar’s stunning transformation and they praised her. One user wrote, “Good efforts in losing weight.” Another added, “Looks like ozempic.” One said, “How did you lose so much weight?” Here is the reaction:

In this day and age feminism has become a hot topic and somewhat a trend so regardless of whether one knows the meaning of it or not, they call themselves that. Many have have simply labeled themselves feminist to escape the onslaught of criticism they’d undoubtedly receive if they said otherwise.
According to the oxford dictionary, feminism is:
The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.
A lot of social media warriors twist and turn the meaning of the word for their own gain and sometimes even feuds are started about its meaning in different contexts.
Furthermore, we have this disease of just wanting to prove ourself right whether we are right or wrong. We want to prove the other party that we are much more intelligent than them and so we can win against them even if what we stand for is wrong.
Quratulain Balouch, the famous Pakistani singer-songwriter had enough of it and decided out to call out the bogus feminists and intellectuals in her tweet:
Drama serial, Humsafarchanged the game for many artists, and one of these lucky artists is the super talented Quratulain Baloch (also known as QB). She is one of the most unique and distinctive voices out there, and for that reason, she is one my favourites.
Talking to Express Tribune, QB shared quite a bit about her work and experiences as a female singer.
Recently, she did a song, Aar Ya Paar, for Cornetto Pop Rock which was performed in Islamabad earlier this month. This was penned by the ambitious singer herself and produced by Noori. The song is special for QB, ”Not having a grasp on the language, I was able to pull off my philosophical take on life, my feelings and inspirations and how I have perceived myself as a human being.”
QB speaks highly of Noori, “When two crazy idealistic people meet, something extraordinary happens and this is what happened with our collaboration. It could not have been possible without the influence the band has had on all of us”.
About her over all journey and experience, “Our society is such that people want to be entertained by female singers but they don’t want their daughters singing. I’ve been very lucky in that department because I feel that there aren’t many female singers in Pakistan. Now is the perfect time for female singers to put themselves out there.”
Humsafar OST and Sammi Meri Waar are my favourite songs by QB, which ones do you enjoy?

I even have a few people keeping an eye on him, but I don’t have the habit of checking phones or laptops. There are ways to keep a check on your child so that he doesn’t get irritated or becomes a rebel—you should give your kids space.

As we say, a husband and wife are the two wheels of a vehicle because it always requires the support of both people. Both partners need to be patient, understanding, and willing to compromise with each other. You have to give time to every relationship.

Give your relationship the time and space it needs.” Here is the link to the video:

Balochistan otherwise a neglected area in our media, has suddenly become an interest of film makers. Recently a film Moor was released which was shot in Balochistan. Few upcoming films Abduallh The Final Witness, Hijrat and Mahleb are also shot in Balochistan. However all these films portrays a grim picture of Balochistan and Quetta. Its encouraging to see Balochistan become the subject of films and lets hope one day there will be a light hearted story based film shot in Balochistan too.
Our drama industry is our pride and source of entertainment of millions of families across the country who religiously sit in front of their TV screens at 8pm to watch their favourite dramas and drama actors.These dramas have a huge following thus impacting our society in so many different ways.The drama makers should,therefore,be very careful about what they project especially since we live in an Internet age where you can longer take the audience for granted.However,many of the current dramas on air have left us with questions in which makes us audiences gape at them in wonder and think that why didn’t the long list of people associated with the drama thought about these questions.
1- In Rishtay Kuch Adhooray Se inspired by Indian Soap Susral Simar Ka,we are shown that elder sister Gaiti is to be wedded off to Arsal.However,the Nikah is planned in emergency and since Gaiti is not at home,her younger sister Kiran dresses up as a bride and when the Nikah Khawan comes to seek Gaiti’s consent for Nikah with Arsal, Kiran merely nods her head and lo and behold the two are declared husband and wife.So what we get is that calling off the name is not important,when asked for consent to marry,any girl present at the Nikah ceremony can nod her head and become the wife of the guy.He can have multiple wives that way,what fun and what convenience! Perfect chance for those who are in love with someone who’s marrying someone else.Now no one can stop you from becoming his wife.
2- I was naive enough to think that in cases of rape medical examination of both male and female is necessary to prove that rape has been done and that too by the suspected male.Thanks to Mujhe Khuda Pe Yaeen Hai my confusion is clear now.I understand now that physical examination and DNA of male are mere accessories which don’t even merit attention.Even without physical examination,a report could be prepared and anyone could be accused of rape and wait that’s not all.In such circumstances,your self-righteous family including your father whose fake beard oscillates like a pendulum would be perfectly ready to accept you as culprit and would keep on hating you for that also.What a service to criminal and justice this play has done.You listening people and judicial authorities!As an after thought why not to rename this play as ‘Mujhe Common Sense Pe Yaqeen Naheen Hai’.
3- While Mujhe Khuda Pe Yaqeen Hai puts criminal science to shame,Aseer Zadi does the same with Biological Science.In the peer house hold ran by Bari Sarkar Sania Saeed,each Peer marries thrice.The first two wives are nothing more than accessories who do not bear any children to the Peer Sahab and not third wife is the real wife who also becomes the mother of Peer Sahab’s children.Can we know the exact science and methodology adopting which the first two wives are made infertile.If it’s magic or black magic,then I would also like to go to that Aamil Baba.If it’s science,then we have advanced so much in science that we can boast to the west that now Science Books would be easily written by our Drama Writers what to talk of researchers or PHDs.
4- How can I forget another master piece Numm which was to showcase the abhorring practice of Vani and its impact on the lives of the concerned but has since been turned into Fawad Khan sandwiched between two women,ah that’s a novelty,isn’t it people!So this novel show depicts Wali who could not have been more than 10 years old at most being married to Mahjabeen as Mahjabeen’s family murdered Wali’s father and uncle over an ‘honour dispute’ (read Mahjabeen’s relationship with Wali’s uncle).But according to our religion,a child can be wedded only once he/she is of sound judgement.Is a kid of 10 of sound judgement?How could this marriage be legal then?Doesn’t the very base of this drama then fall out and what joy!We would have been spared Kanza Wyne’s screams week after week and women who sigh and watch this drama just to look at Fawad again could have gone and bathed their babies which they were delaying for whole week as they were busy in catching Fawad in drama repeats.
Drama serial Jalan has garnered a lot of negative attention even before it started airing. It was because, through the teasers and promos, the fans and viewers of Pakistani dramas clearly understood what the plot and story of Jalan were about. It caused an uproar and people didn’t hold back in stating what they felt about the theme of a girl falling in love with her brother-in-law. The theme of the drama has been controversial and it is upsetting to see that a leading channel and one of the biggest production houses of Pakistan still resorted to this kind of story to bring in ratings and viewership.
The team and cast of Jalan have passed quite a lot of statements to justify whatever they are showing but the fact remains that these kinds of stories are not well received by the audiences for whom these dramas are created and produced. Jalan has remained consistently controversial and this is the reason it also got banned but unfortunately, the ban was overruled and the drama continued to air at prime time.
There have been quite a lot of scenes in this drama that are unethical and immoral. They have tried to show it how it is perfectly alright for a girl to woo her brother in law and how a guy thinks he is entitled to change the mood and opt for a girl who happens to be his wife’s younger sister. In this situation, both the leading characters are wrong but the female lead remains in the limelight.
Here are some of the questionable scenes from drama serial Jalan:
Nisha Spewing Venom & Her Parents Laughing
In this scene, Nisha is seen speaking against the proposal that her parents approved for Misha. However, it is ironic to see that she gets to say so much & her parents actually are so absent-minded to understand what she is trying to convey. In this entire equation, her parents are shown to be the innocent victims as well but they are equally responsible for not being mature or wise enough to understand the kind of mentality their daughter in general has.
Nisha Removing Her Engagement Ring
This scene showed that for Nisha, her own engagement ring lost its value and importance the moment she saw a diamond ring that she was going to get from Asfand. At this stage, she was already smitten by him, therefore she fancied the idea of Asfand putting a ring on her finger. It is amusing to see that her parents and no one else took notice of what she did, except Ahmer who could clearly see where she was going with this.
Nisha Comparing Ahmer & Asfand’s Houses
In this scene, Nisha is seen openly speaking about all the luxuries that her sister was enjoying after her marriage. Asfand too hears her and finds it absolutely bizarre. The writer has tried to show that for a girl, it is perfectly fine to dream of having a lavish lifestyle but her only option happens to be a marriage to a wealthy businessman. She shouldn’t have any other aspirations and she will get what she wants!
Nisha Sneaking Into Her Sister’s Bed
This has to be one of the most sickening scenes of this entire drama, where Nisha deliberately sneaks into her sister’s bed. At this point, Nisha knows that this is the time when Asfand usually returns from office after a long day, therefore she pretends to be sleeping in his bed so that he comes close and gets startled upon finding her there. The victorious smile that Nisha gives when he leaves the room was disgusting.
Nisha & Asfand Planning To Lie To Misha
In this scene, Nisha is trying to convince Asfand to lie to Misha that he took her for an outing at late hours of the night. Asfand also fancies the idea and stays silent after Misha inquires. At this point, it was pretty obvious that Asfand was also enjoying the attention that he was getting from Nisha and was already feeling burdened with Misha’s presence.
Asfand Smitten By Nisha & Leaving Misha Alone
This scene depicted the physical attraction Asfand felt towards Nisha, especially when he saw her all dolled up for him. This is what Nisha used to her advantage and knew that she had her looks and style to attract Asfand towards her. Asfand felt unattracted to his wife who wasn’t feeling well and because he couldn’t contain his excitement to go on a date with his beautiful sister in law, he left his wife to suffer alone.
Asfand Being Emotionally Abusive Towards Misha
In this scene, it was shown that Asfand found a reason to be mad and upset at Misha, all because he wanted her to take care of a file for him. Asfand created havoc and held Misha responsible, although he knew that she was always meticulous when it came to dealing with anything related to him.
Nisha Forcing Herself Onto Asfand
Nisha had already confessed her feelings to Asfand and because she saw that he was feeling burdened with the fact that he and Misha had a child on its way, and also because she saw that he was having a hard time making up his mind, she literally barged into his office and forced herself onto him. Nisha literally harassed Asfand to agree to what she wants because she continued to emotionally blackmail him. Nisha also told Asfand that she’d love him the way Misha won’t be able to and Asfand found that a reason enough to reciprocate her feelings!
Asfand Showing His Ugly Real Face & Ditching Misha
Asfand felt it was important for him to tell his pregnant wife Misha that he doesn’t love her, in fact, he never ever loved her. Instead of feeling remorse or being sorry that he cheated upon his wife, he continued to justify it by stating that he doesn’t love her anymore!
Nisha Commenting About Misha’s Iddat
In this scene, Nisha yet again stooped low and showed what a vile person she was. When she sees a white dress picked up by her mother for her forced Nikkah, she comments that this white outfit should be saved for Misha because it will suit her when she will get to observe Iddat after her divorce from Asfand!
Misha Covering Up For Asfand & Still Being In Denial
Misha has been a reasonable character in this drama but for her to not see her husband at fault puts a big question mark on the kind of person she is. She doesn’t mind holding her sister responsible for destroying her life but does not blame her husband for being disloyal to her and shattering her trust. Misha says she will forgive Asfand because she is carrying his child. It is understandable that Misha wants to mend ways only for the sake of her child but for her to give her husband a clean chit is cringe-worthy.
Asfand Shamelessly Talking About Abortion
Not that Asfand was an ideal character or he had a good track record, but he touched the lowest low when he shamelessly spoke about Misha aborting a baby because he felt this pregnancy was making him lose the chances of getting married to Nisha. His sister continued to make him understand that he was being unreasonable but he showed that he was not only unreasonable but a sick human being to even think about killing his own child!
Talaq Talaq Talaq
Just like all the other dramas, this one too had to have a fair share of Talaq, therefore Asfand barged into Misha’s parents’ house and divorced her. He not only just verbally scarred her, he pushed her away to show that he could not stand her presence in his life in a literal sense. Asfand is a vile character and he deserves nothing but the worst!
