PICS College invited him to secretly judge a singing competition, and he referred me as a judge. PICS invited me to shortlist the boys, and Goher picked me up for the shortlisting event. Atif Aslam came to.me before the auditions started, he had flu. So, he came to me saying, ‘Sir, I have flu, but I can sing, my voice is okay. Sir, please ignore the flu.’ I told him it was okay. Goher was there to audition as a musician, not a singer. I selected Atif Aslam, and he sang Hath Se Hath Kya Gya, a Pakistani song originally sung by Sonu Nigam, although a Pakistani singer, Zain, later claimed to have sung it.” Here is the link to the video:

Speaking on the topic, Faysal Quraishi said, “Pakistani drama viewers abroad take pride in our dramas. I met a Nepali abroad, he was praising Case No. 9. I asked how come he was watching it, and he said we do watch Pakistani dramas and your drama is super enjoyable. People from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey praise our dramas, but here, our actors are just ruining them. Yes, creative criticism is good; it enhances our craft, but imagine an actress saying in the show that Shahzeb Khanzada did nothing but write the dialogues. A man has sacrificed his health for this drama—I am an eyewitness—and you are targeting him. Wajahat used to suggest a situation, and Shahzeb used to work on it, he has delivered the work overnight. He would revise drafts within a day, and yet you are targeting the writer and saying the director was just on his phone and the AD was directing. They should be careful.” Here is the link to the video:
Faysal Quraishi further added, “Nowadays, a producer is trying to get my approval for a drama serial, but I am not going to say yes without reading the script. People now have their eyes on our dramas constantly. Nowadays, they don’t even let the episode air and tear it apart in the first promo, it’s good there should be accountability” Here is the link to the video:

Liver cancer is very dangerous; survival chances are rare, and reversal is extremely difficult, almost impossible. He sent me his reports, which I showed to Anya and Talha, and they said the reports are not looking good. We asked him to get tested again because he was regular with his monthly checkups, but he told us these were his reports and that he has cancer which their sister had too. He had undergone treatment and chemotherapy, which slowed the spread of cancer, but he became weaker over time. He was living alone in the USA, so I called him to Pakistan. He was already on palliative care. Doctors advised us to manage his symptoms and provide him comfort and care. We took him to Yahya’s doctor, who looked after him and suggested medicines accordingly. He lived pain-free months in Pakistan and had a great time with us. We used to visit resorts, and he even played volleyball with the kids. We shared some beautiful last days together. Aslam Bhai used to come daily, Haya also visited, and we spent quality time. However, his health started deteriorating. Five days before his death, he even asked us to go for a walk. I decorated the terrace with fairy lights because I wanted to create memories for him. He remained bedridden in the last three days, his blood pressure kept fluctuating, and he lost consciousness. Fifteen days before his death, doctors reviewed his reports and told us to be prepared. In the end, his liver completely failed, and his kidneys also stopped working. He also used to feel a different kind of smell; I don’t know whether I should say this or not, but this was something unusual. He passed away in front of my eyes. “ Here is the link to the video:

Pakistani celebrities largely maintain private lives, but certain people do share their activities with the world. Fame and controversies do go hand in hand. Thus, once you open your life for public consumption, the public will be making comments about your actions and choices.
A few celebrities strive to avoid being in the news for anything other than their work, while others crave the limelight and remain relevant despite facing several scandals and controversies. The year 2025 also saw many prominent figures embroiled in controversies. Here is a list of celebrities who were a part of several controversies in the year 2025:
Atiqa Odho
Atiqa Odho is a famous Pakistani celebrity who has remained in the limelight throughout the year. She has been a part of the drama industry since the PTV era, but she has recently appeared as a judge on Kya Drama Hai. Her dramas have always received love, but her statements have been the reason for constant backlash against her. She has been caught in several blips, including criticism of Ali Raza’s body hair, to her wish to appear as a heroine opposite Danish Taimoor. She has remained steadfast in her resolve and stood by all her statements, however weird that sounded.
Nadia Khan
Nadia Khan is another Pakistani actress and host who is joining the list for her statements. She has been caught with a foot in her mouth several times when she criticised different dramas on her show Kya Dra aHai. She was in a full-throttle war with actor Yasir Hussain. She recently received backlash when she harshly questioned singer Talha Anjum on her morning show. Talha maintained composure as Nadia kept attacking him.
Hania Aamir
Hania Aamir is the new-age superstar of the country. She has been trending everywhere on social media, and she is the most followed actress in the country. Her fans love her beauty and her bubbly personality. But she does remain in the news for one controversy or another. The year started when Indian fans were targeting her inclusion in an Indian Punjabi film, and as we neared the end of 2025, the news of her reconciliation with Asim Azhar was plastered all over social media. She has dropped several hints herself, but there has been no proper announcement. Meanwhile, the internet also thinks she has changed her appearance, which puts her under scrutiny.
Rajab Butt
Rajab Butt is probably the most controversial Pakistani celebrity of 2025. He is primarily a YouTuber who creates family Vlogs, but this year, he remained in the news due to his legal and personal controversies. First, he had to flee the country due to his legal cases. His name also came up in the now-famous gambling apps case. Add to that his marital woes, which were discussed extensively on social media. His past affairs were exposed while his wife was pregnant, and he was seen making weird TikTok videos with other women.
Ducky Bhai
Ducky Bhai is another Pakistani celebrity who had a tough year. While he was making his usual Vlogs, he was suddenly picked up by law enforcement agencies. The YouTuber remained in custody for over 100 days, and his story has been painful to watch. Even if he was in the wrong, the torture and abuse he had to face were unbelievable and unlawful. He was beaten, extorted for money while his family had to go through hell. He is back now, and he is trying to heal from the trauma he has faced in these past months.
Atif Aslam
Atf Aslam is hands down the biggest star of Pakistan. He is one artist who is known for his work and never for any controversies. 2025 proved to be a tough year for him as well. This year marked another war between India and Pakistan. Atif Aslam is a star who is loved on both sides of the border. He refrained from making any anti-India statement, which many other celebrities did. This brought on backlash for the star. He also went through a huge personal loss as his father passed away recently. He performed at a concert the very next day, which was not liked by many netizens.
Fawad Khan
Fawad Khan is a Pakistani celebrity who has always seen success, both in music and acting. He also worked in Bollywood till a ban came into effect on Pakistani artists. The actor had a tough year, and this was probably the first time he came under severe criticism. First, his participation in Barzakh, the series, was disliked by his fans for its LGBTQ themes. He later received criticism when he gave a “neutral” statement on the Indo-Pak war, as his Bollywood comeback film’s release was delayed. The star has also come under criticism for judging Pakistan Idol, as many youngsters were not even aware of his musical background.
Talha Anjum
Talha Anjum is another Pakistani star who has become a household name in the last few years. He rose to fame with his exceptional music, and the younger generation loves what he does on stage. He is loved not only in Pakistan, but internationally as well. He was in a huge controversy this year when he waved the Indian flag on stage. He also wore the flag on his shoulders. Talha received backlash as India has been constantly producing anti-Pakistani films and making an anti-Pakistan narrative.
Asim Azhar
Asim Azhar is a Pakistani singer with a global fan following. The year 2025 was great professionally for the star as he released his first album as well as two hit OSTs. He also performed in many cities, but his personal life became fodder for controversies. First, his engagement to ex-fiance Merub Ali broke after three years, which was a shock for everyone. Second, his rumoured patch-up with ex-girlfriend Hania Aamir is what is keeping him in the news.
Feroze Khan
Feroze Khan is a Pakistani celebrity who has a huge fan following. He also remains in the news, unfortunately, due to his personal life. This year again, he was in the news for his marriage and divorce. First, his account got “hacked” where he spoke against his now wife, Zainab. Then there was news about his supposed problems in his marriage to his wife, Zainab. And recently, we saw his child support amount being revealed on the internet.

Only Asma Abbas welcomed us. Behroze Sabzwari called me personally, and Javeria Saud and Saud Qasmi, who are like family, helped us a lot—they found us a house and helped us settle. Apart from them, no one even reached out or invited us. We are people who enjoy parties and meet-ups, but here, no one is like that, so we party with Javeria and Saud.”
He further added that Sahiba had to close her salon because, when she came to Karachi, she lost her customers and there was no income. When she returned, there was no activity at the salon, so she had to close it. Here is the link to the video:

Several clips from these discussions went viral on social media and sparked massive backlash. As a result, many social media users and a few digital creators are now calling for a boycott of the show and demanding that it be permanently banned.
Pakistani viewers are once again disappointed with Nida Yasir and are commenting on digital and social media platforms, calling for a boycott and a ban on Good Morning Pakistan. One fan wrote that Nida Yasir’s show needs to be banned because she is not educated enough to conduct it, adding that it is not about a morning show but about an illiterate person hosting one. Another commented that even the guests on the show are the same repeated older women who come and praise themselves. One user wrote that instead of talking to guests, Nida’s prime interest is sharing her personal life stories with her husband, Yasir. Another stated that such shows should be banned because they do not contribute anything positive to society and only promote complexes and insecurities. Many others said that Nida Yasir is illiterate and that it has now become necessary for her show to be discontinued on television.
A digital creator, Noreen Raghib, has also posted a video on her channel following the Good Morning Pakistan controversies. She stated that Nida Yasir’s show needs to be banned as soon as possible, as it offers no valuable content other than makeup, women discussing each other, dances, and other useless activities. She added that the show should be banned just like Nadia Khan’s and Shaista Lodhi’s shows were banned. Here is the link to the video:

Case No. 9 is a crime thriller which has the audience at the edge of their seats.

The way Noor ul Hassan has performed the character is making people question who is the real villain: Kamran or Bukhari.

Ducky Bhai is the most-followed Pakistani YouTuber and is expected to reach the milestone of 10 million subscribers soon. A few months ago, Ducky Bhai made headlines after being arrested at the airport on allegations of promoting betting applications in his vlogs. He was granted bail at the end of November, which allegedly became possible after he paid a heavy extortion amount to the authorities.

Today, Ducky Bhai posted a vlog on his YouTube channel in which he revealed the latest developments regarding his earnings and channel access.
In his vlog, Ducky said, “I don’t have access to my YouTube channel. There is a notification that says, ‘You are an editor.’ There are no details regarding my revenue because I don’t have access to my own channel. I now have limited access, similar to what editors have. I can’t upload or remove videos, nor can I see information regarding earnings. I don’t have my YouTube channel anymore. They have blocked my AdSense. Those who say I made a lot of money from videos should know that I earned zero money. This channel is not mine. I have been subjected to a high level of injustice. I haven’t even shared details about what’s happening at the restaurant. Currently, Areeb is looking after everything including expenses.” Here is the link to the video:

Aima Baig said, “I offered Fajr prayer and felt extremely vulnerable. It was a time when I was remembering my mother, and I just wanted to hug her because I had seen a few of her belongings. After Fajr, I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t because tears kept falling from my eyes. I started crying again while remembering my mom. I am the kind of person who instantly records a melody when it comes to my mind, even if my voice cracks or the recording isn’t perfect. At around 6 a.m., a few lyrics and a melody came to my mind for my mother, which I recorded. Obviously, I won’t reveal the lyrics now. I just entered the media industry when my mom got sick, I used to be at work most of the time, so, I couldn’t spend much time with her while she was bedridden. She was the one who used to send me to shows, but those were her last days.” Here is the link to the video:

Today, Sadia Imam appeared on Samaa TV’s morning show Subh Ka Samaa, which is hosted by Madeha Naqvi. During the show, she revealed the reality of modern-day marriages and relationships.
Talking about this, Sadia Imam said, “Nowadays, men are also looking for shortcuts when it comes to getting married. All they want is a doctor, a job holder, or someone professional who is earning money. One of my friends called me from the USA and said, ‘Please, Sadia, find me a good proposal for my son. It would be even better if she is a doctor.’ I asked her why—do you want her to earn? Just find an educated woman, no matter what job she does. They want a daughter-in-law who is beautiful, rich, a doctor, and an expert in household chores. They also expect her to bring a car with her. On the other hand, girls’ families are greedy for status and position. One of my cousins got married to a girl who chose him out of greed because he is a television actor’s cousin. She wanted her husband to gain fame through me.” Here is the link to the video.

Yes, it didn’t have massive views on digital media, but it was loved by TV audiences because of Kashif Nisar. The other one got millions and millions of views. When they offered it to me, I initially tried to refuse due to the weak character, but they insisted, saying, ‘Please do this. If you do it, it will be a hit.’ I don’t know but when I am on set I know it will be a hit. I was also offered Aye Ishq-e-Junoon, but due to date issues, I couldn’t do it.” Here is the link to the video:

Sheema Kermani is an activist and dancer who has led the movement for women’s rights since she was a teenager. She comes from a privileged background but her parents never approved of her lifestyle and her choices. She left her home at the age of 21 and never went back. She knew her path was different and she wanted to serve public. Her father was angry at her decision and they did not get to meet for 10 years.
Sheema Kermani spoke about how she did not speak to her parents for 10 years. She just sent them a message that she was safe and she kept pursuing her own path in life. Their meeting again was nothing short of dramatic. She was going somewhere on a bike while her parents’ car stopped near her at a signal. Her mother waved at her and asked her to stop.
They met after a decade on the road. Her parents were then more open to understanding her approach to life. She shared her parents who used to look down upon the working class who she work with, changed for her. They became far more accepting and they were supportive of her largely by the end of their estrangement. Sheema Kermani said that her parents also put in their effort to amend their relationship.
Allama Iqbal proposed the idea of Pakistan, the very nation where we live as free citizens today. He has contributed to education, culture, literature and the very soul of the nation. He is one of the most important people in the history of Pakistan. Children are taught about his life and contributions from a very young age at schools but it seems like we are faltering in educating the upcoming generation.
A recent video from Lahore has baffled the internet. The video was taken at the Gulshan e Iqbal Park where a group of kids were seen insulting and slapping Allama Iqbal’s statue. Their actions have shocked everyone. A person was making a video of these children instead of educating them. The horrendous deed is now viral.
The internet is calling out the parents of these children for not properly educating and training them. One user wrote, “Their parents should be jailed by the government.” Another added, “This is what our new generation is learning on social media.” One said, “This is the parents’ failure. These slaps are actually at their failed parenting.” Here is the reaction:
