The super talented and stunning actresses of Pakistan are often praised for their dressing sense and style statements. Whatever they wear and whatever style is carried by them, becomes a fashion later. Each and every woman in Pakistan look up to these gorgeous Pakistani Divas for the latest fashion and trends. Today we are going to have a look on our favorite ladies from the industry who are making style statement in Saree. Check it out!
All of these stunning actresses are looking lovely in Saree. The way of carrying the Saree in a style is worth praising.
Western clothes even the casual summer dresses of short length are not welcomed by Pakistanis due to cultural differences. We have our own culture, traditions, religious beliefs and way of conducting ourselves in the society. The same standards do apply to our divas and Pakistani actresses for the most part do not put up pictures showing their skin even from their private trips and also avoid wearing bold outfits on-screen. But for the sake of fashion and their personal style, many of our divas have found a way to wear these cute and trendy clothes and it is for sure a guide to wear otherwise bold outfits in Pakistani society.
1. Ayeza Khan:
Ayeza Khan is super talented and she is a fashionista with social media game on point. These things combined make her the most followed Pakistani celebrity on Instagram. Ayeza loves to wear summer dresses for sure but another thing she loves are her opaque black stockings. Ayeza always wears modest outfits and she has the fashion sense to make every dress she wears according to her own standard.
Here is another time she used the same technique:
Another pink number Ayeza made work:
2. Sajal Aly:

Trends are important and we see new trends emerge every season. This is true for clothing, accessories and yes hair too. We see summer and winter hairstyles that gain traction every year and then suddenly everyone has the same hair. This time around it is the fringe or what we call front bangs. Suddenly everyone is doing it and looks like all our divas are copying the same picture shown to them before getting a haircut.
1. Mahira Khan:
Mahira Khan has a very signature side parted look which she changed this year and got a fringe.
2. Mawra Hocane:
Mawra’s fringe has grown again but she also changed her signature side parted long layers this time around.

Ayeza Khan carries everything like she owns it and that is what she did with her fringe.
7. Sajal Aly:
Sajal Aly also woke up and chose change and the change is; a fringe.
8. Zara Noor Abbas:
Zara Noor Abbas also got a new haircut and guess what? Its a fringe.
While the writers and actors in particular get more than enough attention and appreciation from the viewers, the directors most often do not get the credit they truly deserve. No matter how good the script of a play is if the director does not put his best into showing it on screen in a good way then the script may not have any impact on the viewers. On the other hand, a good director can even change an average script into something outstanding by extracting the best performances from the actors and by making the screenplay more enticing. It is totally up to the director how he visually puts the material in the script on screen.
Pakistani dramas could never have gotten as far as they have if it wasn’t for some very dedicated directors who are always giving us their best. here is a list of directors who have recently made a very good name for themselves in the drama industry.
Haissam Hussain
Anyone who watches Pakistani dramas would be well acquainted with this gifted director. He works very hard on all his projects and is one of those directors who can do miracles. Haissam Hussain was the director of Dastan, Akbari Asghari, Durr-e-Shehwar, Aik Nayee Cinderella and many others. He is also the one who will be directing the upcoming serial Bin Royee Ansoo.
Haissam Hussain has rose to fame in a very sort span of time because of the quality of his work.
Mehreen Jabbar
Mehreen Jabbar is very talented, she has been in the directing business for quite some time now. Everything that she has done till now goes to prove that she is nothing short of an asset for our industry. Mehreen Jabbar directed the old long play starring Khalida Riyasat Ab Tum Ja Sakte Ho. She has also directed notable plays like Malal, Vasl, Daam, Mata-e-Jaan Hai Tu, Coke Kahani, Rehaii and the film Ramchand Pakistani. Mehreen Jabbar adds the right kind of emotions to all of her plays. She pays attention to detail and aims for perfection.
People like Mehreen Jabbar are a source of pride for our industry.
Nadeem Siddiqui
Nadeem Siddiqui has directed the following plays, Mere Khawab Reza Reza, Mein Gunehgar Nahi, Mann Ke Moti, Mere Harjayee, Maya, My Dear Sautan, Aks and many others. Nadeem Siddiqui has done a lot of quality work in a very short period of time which goes to show how dedicated he is to his work. His latest play Ranjish Hi Sahi is being highly appreciated because of the acting and direction.
Do you remember the adorable child star who played Affan in drama serial Dil-e-Muzter? He is Nadeem Siddiqui’s son, talent most surely runs in the family.
Sarmad Khoosat
This list would be incomplete without adding the name of Sarmad Khoosat, the reason being that I have always felt that Sarmad is a true artist who believes in giving out quality work without worrying about commercialism. Although Sarmad had been directing for years before the he directed the play Pani Jaisa Pyar but that is the play that made people stand up and take notice. Sarmad introduced the concept of sitcoms with performances on songs through his sitcom Shahshlik. He gave his fans hits like Hamsafar and Shehr-e-Zaat and directed some other notable plays like Mera Yakeen and Daagh.
Sarmad Khoosat’s journey has just started, his talent and hard work is bound to take him a long way.

Since past one decade Pakistani fashion is progressing and our designers have represented Pakistan at various international events. Another such achievement was the recent event of Lakme Fashion Week Mumbai in neighboring country India. Four Pakistani designers Rizwan Beyg, Sania Maskatiya, Zara Shahjahan and Faiza Samee were invited to showcase their collection on the event.However Faiza Samee was unable to participate due to visa issues as all embassies in Islamabad were closed due to long marche but Rizwan Beyg, Sania Maskatiya and Zara Shahjahan have participated in the event.
The prestigious Paris Fashion Week Fall 2018 started on 27th February and was wrapped up yesterday 6th of March. Yasmeen Jiwa was the only Pakistani designer at the Fashion Week showcasing her work. Her collection was featured on March 3 at the Intercontinental Le Grand, Paris.
The designer was invited by British company Oxford Fashion Studio to represent Pakistan. Maheen who manages Public Relations of Yasmin Jiwa told Geo.TV.
“We were invited in June last year to participate in New York Fashion Week in September 2017 by Oxford Fashion Studio — an independent organisation based in London who scout independent/ upcoming designers from around the world to participate in fashion weeks in London, New York, Milan, and Paris,”
She further added,
“We realised that we will not be ready for September season so we opted for February in Paris and were luckily granted it. As this was our first ever show we wanted to take baby steps in which we opted to go for a group show, we shared our show with other international designers from Indonesia, India, Norway and Canada,”
The collection was named ‘Qous-e-Qazah’ and it combined traditional embroideries such as mirror, thread, lace, cut work and sequence with modern edgy silhouettes.
“The brand Yasmeen Jiwa has always believed in weightless glamour which is not very common in our industry. The collection was given a great deal of praise by the media and buyers present at the show. It really opened the door to new international opportunities and definitely exceeded our expectations tenfold,”
Speaking about the show, Jiwa said,
“I’ve always been a private person and have always enjoyed my private clientele, I knew that if I ever did a show it really had to be different from anything I’ve done before and I feel this was the perfect platform for me as I got the opportunity to meet people from all around the world.”
She continued,
“The venue was one of the most beautiful venues one could ever ask for. I was also extremely impressed by the organisers the level of professionalism was extremely refreshing,”
It feels so good to see people of homeland making us proud around the globe, more power to you and your team Mam. Kudos.
Tabassum Mughal is a known Pakistani designers who has been invited as a guest in many Morning Shows too. Recently one of her clients who wasn’t a very rich woman but wanted a designer dress for her daughter has brought to light the real face of the designer who appears to be very nice on television. The client has spread the incident via facebook and twitter. She says that when she went to the designer to get her daughter’s clothes, they were not ready. She protested a little and ask the designer to finish the work on time. The designer did not like this and she asked her general manager and few more people there to drag the woman out of the place.
The general manager and other men beat the woman up with chairs, kicked her, pulled her hair and dragged her out of the place. The exact ‘orders’ of the designer were “Maaro iss Rickshaw wali aurat ko” because the client had come on a rickshaw. She also said that people who travel in rickshaws don’t deserve to be her clients.
This is how the whole incident was narrated by someone who is related to the victim:
She also posted pictures of the injury:
Tabbasum Mughal posted her part of the story in these words:
This post was deleted after few hours for unknown reasons. Many other people are coming out and saying that they had been treated badly by the designer. They were not beaten but they were verbally abused. People are gathering up in Karachi Clifton area tomorrow to protest against the designer so that she can be brought to justice.
A page dedicated to the incident has been created on facebook but the admin says that he/she is getting threats from “friends” of Tabbasum Mughal.

He didn’t perform well in the Champion’s Trophy either and people as well as media isn’t happy about it. Javed Chaudhary, a popular political TV show host joined in the masses bashing Shahzad for his poor performance:
Coronavirus has been keeping all of us indoors. While Pakistan continues to battle its increasing number of COVID19 cases, the population is being advised to stay indoors and stay protected.
Following the strict governmental instructions of self isolation, everyone has been locked at home, including the Pakistani cricketers. But while most of us laze around and waste our days, our cricketers have been keeping productive in such a time.

They say when you fall for someone than age becomes just a number. When it comes to a relationship mutual understanding and compatibility to the partner is of far more importance than the age difference between them. The compassion the couple has for each other decides the fate of the relationship instead of how much older one is than the other.
These couples have proven this fact to a great deal. These celebrities have not only excelled as single people but they have become a support system for their better halves as well by helping them become better in their fields.

The golden times of PTV are still remembered by all Pakistanis. Our content was seen, appreciated and loved not only by Pakistanis but all over the world. Even today the best of our actors are seen quoting how their skills were polished and how much they learned during the PTV era. We excelled in all forms of entertainment; be it drama, tragedy, action or COMEDY. Comedy is a genre loved by all. In today’s times when there is extremism and gloominess everywhere comedy can prove to be an even greater escape from all the sadness and an opportunity to feel fresh.
Pakistanis have known the gist of comedy from very start. PTV has produced some evergreen comedies that will forever be loved. Some examples are Alif Noon, Sona Chandi and Andhera Ujala. These shows were not mere comedies with cheap material but had impressive scripts and lessons for the masses. They made the actors in them stars and they are still loved by the masses. Like who can forget Irfan Khoosat’s ‘Oye Allah dittay” from Andhera Ujala . The show was not a mere comedy. It showed what our police go through and gave us an insight on the wrong doings occurring in our society. It was beautiful, emotional and hilarious. It was comedy with a message.
Sona Chandi made people realize everyday problems and showcased husband wife relationship beautifully. Alif Noon had a brand of its own. The show made Actor Rafi Khawar popularly known as Nanha a film star and he will always be remembered as one of the best comedians of the Pakistani entertainment industry. Talking about films Munawar Zareef’s style of comedy and even his movies were copied across the border and were huge successes making people laugh left and right.
But after all this glory like every other entertainment sphere comedy also fell into a dump and unfortunately we still have not discovered back our comedy streak and all we are left with are shows like Halka na lo, Dugdugi, Bulbulay and Qudusi sahab ki bewa. Let me sum up what is wrong with these shows:
The Script:
First and foremost thing makers of these shows need to understand a show might be comedy but it NEEDS A SCRIPT. It is not tolerable for audiences to see people running around here and there with no story at all. Best example of this are shows starring Barkat and Uzmi. People are laughing, running and looking stupid for no reason at all and they call it a comedy show. The makers desperately need to take some inspiration from the old shows and realize a script is necessary to run a show.
Unnecessary Vulgarity:
Our country has progressed a lot and we are far more modern from older times. From celebrity dresses to themes of our dramas and films everything has moved ahead but still many things which were inappropriate are still inappropriate and will remain as such. Does anyone remember when Momo was pregnant with Sona and Khoobsurat with Chandi in Bulbulay. The show is loved by people and I know babies are born every day and it is a natural process but believe me it is not a very beautiful sight when your 6 year old comes running to tell you “Woh Momo Maa banne wali hai na.” Imagine the horror as the biggest audiences of this show are children. Talking about films the only comedy left there is “Ooper dekhoonga to neechay se chirya ura do ge” from Wrong No.; let me remind you a small boy is saying this to “Ye aik banday ka kaam nahin hai” of Mehrunisa V Lub U and showing gayism in JPNA. The question to the makers is Do they really think this is comedy?
Fixed Actors:
Fixed actors are seen in sitcoms and comedy shows. Gone are the days of Family Front and Shashlik when actors like Waseem Abbas, Saba Hameed and Nadia Afghan used to do comedies. Only some fixed actors are seen doing comedy shows these days like Nabeel, Barkat, Uzmi, Mahmood Sahab and some more. The dilemma of fixed casting has made comedy confined to certain people and shows limiting the impact this genre can otherwise have.
So from glory of Alif Noon to unnecessary laughing of Mr. Shamim and Halka na lo our comedy has really gone from best to worst. We definitely need a lot of improvement and seeing the progress of the industry one should remain hopeful that one day the comedy will rise from sastay jokes and dheeli hassi to actual punch lines and comic scripts. But we will have to suffer till the day comes!
Pakistani civilians are showing their unwavering commitment to their country, matching the enthusiasm of the armed forces. Every Pakistani stands ready to defend every inch of their homeland. Throughout history, they have boldly stepped up to protect their nation, with or without uniforms. This spirit was once again powerfully illustrated by a civilian standing proudly alongside his uniformed brother, a testament to the indomitable resolve of the Pakistani people.
Over the past two days, Indian drones have intruded into Pakistani airspace, and we have successfully intercepted and shot down these drones across various cities. Despite the Indian media attempting to spread misinformation, the resolve of the Pakistani people remains unshaken. Today, we launched Operation Bunyan Ul Mursoos as a decisive response. Throughout this period, civilians have stood firmly with our military. A notable video from the Barki area in Lahore captured a civilian shooting down a drone alongside an army soldier, and this courageous act is being rightfully celebrated.
This is what went down:
Pakistanis are saluting the courage of this man. One user said, “Bro waited his whole life for this opportunity.” Another added, “Pakistanis can do anything for their motherland.” A user wrote, “This is the true picture of Pakistan.”
After restricting the intake of food items and smoking in Ramazan, the ministry has now recommended the closure of cinema houses all over the country.
Earlier, the committee suggested to close cinema houses for three hours during seher and three hours after Iftar during Ramazan. Now, the Minister of State for Religious Affairs, Pir Amin Ul Hansat Shah has asked to close the cinemas at all times during the whole month of Ramazan in Pakistan.
Those who violate the Ehtram-e-Ramazan Bill, will be fined RS 50,000 or more.
Post the India Pakistan conflict, media associations of both countries decided to ban each other’s content. India banned Pakistani artists and dramas where as, Pakistani cinema owners imposed ban on Bollywood films. However, Pakistani cinema owners are now all set to lift the ban on Indian films.
In conversation with The Express Tribune on Saturday, Chairman Film Exhibitors Association Zoraiz Lashari confirmed that cinema owners would begin screening Indian films across Pakistan from December 19 (Monday). “Cinema business has been hit immensely and all stakeholders felt it was the right time to begin screening Indian films. It was always a self imposed suspension, not a ban. So I’ll be releasing Freaky Ali in our cinemas and other cinema owners will follow suit,” said Lashari
“A big media group and film exhibitors/distributors in India are trying to release Dungal in Pakistan. They are testing public sentiments and also the government’s reaction by releasing Freaky Ali at CineStar cinema,” he added.
He went on to add how stakeholders in India were also being hit by the move by the self-imposed ban. “We will first test waters with these unreleased films and then begin negotiations with Indian distributors to continue the import of movies into Pakistan,” he added.
Mahira Khan’s fans can rejoice now since ‘Raees’ will be releasing in Pakistan on January 25, 2017 but is it really a good idea to release Bollywood films when India is still going strong with the ban imposed on Pakistani artists?
Pakistan was created in the name of Islam but is also very tolerant and accepting of other religions. Our flag’s colors are green and white – the color green takes the major portion of the flag and represents the Muslims of Pakistan, while the colour white represents the minority religions and minority communities.
Our Christian brothers and sisters are as much Pakistanis as a Muslim Pakistani. Religion, caste or creed does not define nationality. They have the same patriotism with Pakistan as a Muslim Pakistani and you can see their patriotism in a national song they sang for the 70th Anniversary of their beloved country:
This cover is being greatly appreciated on social media.
Quaid-e-Azam once said “There is no power that can undo Pakistan” and that can only be true if we all stick together as a united nation. A very Happy Independence Day to all Pakistanis, especially our minority communities!
Pakistani Christian celebrities like Sunita Marshal and Benita David are very popular among the public. They have made a big name for themselves by constantly working hard. There are also other models and actresses in Pakistan who also belong to the Christian community and these celebrities have received much love from the public. All these celebrities celebrate not only Christmas but also Eid. They are also close to other celebrities who are Muslims. The people have given their stars respect if they are talented. Benita David is seen very often in morning shows nowadays and Sunita Marshal is a popular actress and model.
Here are pictures of prominent Pakistani Christian celebrities who were seen having a lot of fun at a Christmas party.
The Pakistani entertainment industry is full of talented individuals. Whether these actors and models are children or grown-ups, they always live up to their full potential. There are some young Pakistani actors who have literally grown up in front of our eyes. We saw them performing important supporting roles in dramas a few years back and now they are seen playing important roles in many leading dramas. These child stars have proven that you can be a star at any given age. The acting skills of these child stars have polished over time. Some of them turned into iconic stars while others are still struggling. All of them however have reached a place where most people their age can only dream of. Here some Pakistani child stars who are all grown up now.

Blue eyes, smoldering looks, attrative innocence…any guesses on who we are talking about? Yes, of course the dreamy eyed, chaiwala! We’ve got some disappointing news for those of you proudly calling him “Pakistani Chaiwala” because according to NADRA, he is not Pakistani at all!
If he still doesn’t ring a bell, let me further remind you who he is- he is the blue-eyed guy who worked as a “Chaiwala” in Islamabad before he attained fame. A Pakistani photographer, Jiah Ali photographed him and he became the internet sensation. Almost every girl fell for his God-gifted looks and those baby blue orbs! His photograph that was first posted on the photographer’s instagram feed became so viral that the cutie ended up modeling and even was offered to work with Syed Noor in his film!

Yes, these soul-searching eyes are what brought him all the fame.
But we are here to report that this ‘Pakistani Chaiwala’ is actually ‘Afghanistani Chaiwala’ National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) recently informed.
He has been accused of providing fraudulent documents to obtain the Computerized National Identity Card. Furthermore, the handsome man tried to exploit his “Celebrity status” by pressurizing the passport office to issue his passport.
According to a local News channel, Arshad Khan basically belongs to Kandar (Afghanistan) but in the fraudulent documents, Arshad and his family has shown themselves as members of Moosakhel tribe of Pakistan. According to the report, his parents were both Afghan refugees.
Saif Ali Khan’s blunt and rude remarks about Pakistan Censor Board and Pakistan in general have generated negative publicity for him in Pakistan. Saif Ali Khan passed these comments on twitter after his upcoming Indian film Phantom did not get passed by the Censor Board of Pakistan. Pakistani actors like Hamza Ali Abbasi and Shaan Shahid also answered Saif Ali Khan in a way he deserved to be answered because his comments about Pakistan were unbearable. Saif Ali Khan said that Pakistan is a country in which a terrorist can go to court to which Hamza Ali Abbasi replied, “If u think its funny how a terrorist can go to court in Pakistan, i too find it funny how a mass murderer of Muslims in Gujrat can become the Prime Minister of India. Let me now say this, because of movies like Phantom and hateful actors like Saif Ali Khan, I AM LOSING FAITH IN INDIA.”
After Saif Ali Khan said he had no faith in Pakistan Shaan Shahid gave Saif Ali Khan a fitting reply through social media in these words:
“Faithless saif Needs to find life beyond Pakistan ! Faith doesn’t come from a country it comes from within and you have lost faith in yourself after 4 consecutive flop films So what do you do bash Pakistan so you can hide your flops behind the combined hatred of Indians for Pakistan Win them with your talent not by fake one liners
Remember superman can only fly in films
So dare not cross our borders with hatred in your heart
But equality and respect in your thoughts ,actions and films
You don’t need to find villains in Pakistan you have enough of them back home …. With protocol now
And the puppet khans are the symbol of the only Muslim domination wake up man nobody’s buying it anymore Time for a new plan India needs a Martin Luther king to free the Muslims of India Equal rights about time !!! Tell your khans to worry about India and stop thinking about Pakistan it is protected not by khans only but by every tribe living and breathing Pakistan It is our home our motherland don’t bring us in your conversations go find somebody else to talk about you have seen our politicians not our people they are a different breed We will protect Pakistan it’s Borders and the cultural borders And I’m sure you feel the same way about India as an Indian you have a right but you take away my right when I feel about my country Strange !!”
As a result of the entire controversy the Censor Board has decided to put a definite ban on Saif Ali Khan’s films which will remain in place for an indefinite period of time.
Despite a United Nations demand for a ceasefire to end Syria’s civil war fresh regime air strikes and heavy clashes shook rebel-held Eastern Ghouta on Sunday 25th February. President Bashar al-Assad’s forces launched a major bombing campaign against the enclave on the edge of Damascus a week ago, and have since killed more than 500 people.
Pakistani celebrities have now come forward demanding the genocide to stop.
Mahira Khan, Haroon Shahid, Mawra Hocane and many others took to social media to address the brutal killing of innocents in Syria, condemning the attacks.

The list included celebrities like Mahira Khan, Sridevi, Saba Qamar, Mawra Hocane, Ankita Lokhande and Daisy Shah.
“Wearing a Rami Ali gown with a serpenti diamond Bvlgari necklace, Mahira Khan just looked average. Apart from her hair and makeup, the gown didn’t do much for her overall look. She bagged the award for Asian Woman of Substance.” says the article.
About Sridevi the artricle stated,
“Sridevi wore a yet another Manish Malhotra gown that had a sheer neckline and cape with a sheer fringe dupatta. What’s with the giant crystals? This red carpet outing was a complete No No! She received an award for Cinematic Legend of the year.”
Saba Qamar and Mawra Hocane failed to impress as well,
“Saba Qamar’s outfit by Shehla Chatoor looked confusing! What do you think? She received an award for Best Breakthrough Performance for Hindi Medium.”
