Komal Meer got noticed for the first time when she participated in Miss Veet Pakistan. She did not win but she did a great job getting introduced to the industry. The starlet has since only grown and now she has many big dramas in her filmography. She has done dramas like Badshah Begum and Rah e Junoon but the drama that put her on the map first was Qalandar. She played the damsel Dur e Adan who was loved by the audience for her beauty and innocence.
Komal gave an interview to Maliha Rehmna where she talked about how Qalandar made her famous among the masses. She also shared that this drama made her think of quitting the industry as well. She revealed that the shoot for Qalandar was very difficult.
She said that at one point a co-star had to slap her and she slapped her in real so the scene looks okay. Komal also had to eat real leftover food from the cast and crew on the set as they wanted to show Dur e Adan that way and they wanted it to look authentic.
That is when she cried afterwards and thought of leaving the industry but things worked out in the end and the drama went on to become a big hit. Here is what she shared:
Komal Meer is an actress and model who started her journey in the drama industry not too long ago. She has worked in many dramas and mostly the scripts have been romantic and revolve around love stories. She was a guest on Fuchsia and she spoke about her thoughts on love in real life. She has several things to say and she spoke for many young women from Gen Z.
Komal Meer spoke about how the generation of today does not fall in love. They just have infatuation and that is the stage where they stop. They never have that old school “ishq” anymore. She stated that she has seen how even relationships don’t have love anymore, let alone friendships.
Komal also shared that men today have become very feminine in their attitudes. This just turns her off. Though she is a very strong and independent woman, she would want a man who can take charge in life. She is indecisive so she will only be able to respect a man who can make decisions. She added men are becoming too pookie and they are not masculine anymore. Thus she never falls in love.

Nasir Adeeb revealed in a podcast that Juanid Jamshed and Moin Akhtar were both very spiritual. They had promised to lead each other’s janaza prayers depending upon who passed away early. After Moin’s passing, Junaid Jamshed went to his house and told his son about this pact and thus he led his funeral prayers.

Bollywood produces loads of item songs every year. In India itself, there are groups of people who criticize them, and then there are those who like them. Of course, we can’t deny the existence of Pakistanis who love these songs (and the nudes that come with them). Some of our film makers also appear to be their fans. The point is, that there will always be people who love and hate item songs, but are item songs really “bad” enough to be stopped? Let’s see why:
Firstly, they reduce humans to “items”. The words “item” and “song” mixed together give a weird image. The item that is roped in to dance to the tunes is mostly a woman, who will dress in the most revealing clothes, and seduce all the men around her with her moves. Her dancing talent alone wouldn’t even generate half the money. The rest of it comes from her boldness and being bold means to be as revealing as you can (or as the director wants you to be). While some women don’t mind item songs, others hate them mainly because they are demeaning.
They are an unhealthy obsession. Movie makers, especially in B-Town, seem to be obsessed with item songs. Every other movie has one and there is one reason for that, the money.
Why would the film makers care about how demeaning women find item numbers, when they have a huge number of men waiting for one glimpse of the item girl? When they know they can force men to come to movie theaters through the 1-2 minute teasers of these item numbers? Moreover, won’t the rantings of the common woman sound stupid to them, when they have a line-up of women ready to dance to the beat?
They have so many reasons to continue making these songs, that they’d never stop to think how unhealthy they are for the society. There is a huge difference between literate and illiterate men. There are men who respect women and those who don’t. Showing women as objects will only encourage them to demean the opposite gender even more. The worst part is, when kids are seen dancing over these songs on weddings, while their mothers and fathers clap and encourage them.
Item numbers glorify every thing a stalker would do. Every woman knows being stalked is a frightful experience. Girls who travel through public transport have complainedabout men hungrily staring at them, whistling at them or trying to touch them. The lyrics of these songs are used to call upon the girls. It is a really painful experience for them.
Women in item numbers present themselves to men. The hero of the film will dance with them while they do so, and he will imply all of the above mentioned traits of stalkers.
Last but not the least, item numbers are not needed. They don’t make the story progress in anyway. The movie can be made without them and probably the hero will have our respects then. Who could “like” a hero who dances with nude women on some really vulgar song? That’s cheating on the heroine isn’t it?
What do you think about this trend? Do you favour it for Pakistani cinema?

Syed Jibran is an accomplished Pakistani actor who has marked himself in industry with his phenomenal acting skills and charming personality. Jibran is one of those actor who can fit himself in every character he plays. Recently, Syed Jibran appeared in an interview with “Gloss ETC By Maliha Rehman”.
Syed Jibran while revealing the reason behind not being invited to Award Shows, mentioned that “Honestly speaking, I don’t care about awards. I believe that Awards are just shows. If they are earning money, you should also earn money. So basically why I’m not invited to award shows is that when they call me I ask them to pay me because for me it’s a show. The smart people get paid and the silly ones just go for free and enjoy.”
“The transparency in award shows is shady and I believe that authenticity of awards is still questionable. Nothing changes after getting an award. In my books shows should pay you but if an actor is willing to go they should go, I’m not stopping anyone but I’ll never go”, added Jibran.
Jibran further said that “The love of audience is what matters the most to me, you are popular if they are talking about you. Bollywood actor Salman Khan hasn’t received any award till now but he’s popular because the audience talks about him. Awards didn’t gave him popularity the audience did. If a person thinks that awards will boost your ego then they should go and attend the show.”

Recently, Sabeeka Imam has opened up on the most controversial discussion about the industry, yes, she has talked on “Nepotism” in an open way. She clearly expressed her views by targeting Azaan Sami Khan without taking his name.
The actress posted a tweet in which she said that she needs the same luck to be casted alongside two amazing actresses like Yumna Zaidi and Sajal Aly, that too in a debut project.
Her tweet reads as, ”

Mathira also said that you might be right but maybe he has auditioned for it.
Sabeeka, while defending her opinion, said that when people call actors bad, it is okay but when she has just given her opinion she is condidered to be a jealous person.
Her words read, “Aap log humein bura bhala kahen to woh sab theek hai lekin main as an artist koi opinion doon to main “jealous”? Salman Khan ki baat sach hai… “main karoon to saala character dheela hai” 🙄 #DoubleStandards”
Saba Qamar is a star of our industry. She has made a name for herself in Pakistan with projects like Dastaan, Cheekh, Baaghi and many more while she also hit a mark in Bollwyood with her debut film Hindi Medium as she was nominated for Best Actress Female at the Filmfare Awards, becoming the first Pakistani actress to get this honour.
Saba Qamar is one of the biggest stars in the industry now. She revealed that many of her co-stars in Pakistan could perceive her as arrogant as she demands for a separate vanity and does not share room with anyone. She said that this is mostly because she does not want any negative energy or fights which could start in the cast and crew and can ultimately affect the final product being made.
This is what Saba has to say about keeping her working environment separate:

Mansha Pasha further revealed that he doesn’t even go for promotions of the dramas which is often mendatory. Here is a link to the video.

Being in the entertainment industry means being exposed to public scrutiny all that time. There are may stars who are always under a microscope for what they do, what they believe in and their political and ideological choices are also well-known among their fans. Muneeb Butt is one such star with his family specially his wife and his sister in law are always under the public eye owing to their massive fan following on social media.
In an atmosphere like ours when there are myriad of issues regarding social, political and economic life in the country and strong censorship on media as well as social media, we have seen many stars do not speak about the common issues a lot and try to remain free of the controversy or criticism that it can bring. Muneeb Butt however, is not that person and we always see him calling out officials on social media and stating is political position without thinking of any consequences.
Muneeb was a guest on G Sarkar where he was asked about him posting his opinions without getting scared on what reaction he may get. He said that he is not scared to state his opinion as he believes that with the following that he has, it is his duty to work for the betterment of people and at least raise voice where he can for his country and Pakistan comes first.
Mere Pass Tum Ho is considered controversial by many. It is the most popular drama on television which the viewers just cannot seem to miss. There are dramas which get nothing but praise when they get this popular and then there are plenty of other dramas like Mere Pass Tum Ho which are considered controversial and are criticized too for various reasons. Mere Pass Tum Ho is also the most talked about drama on social media right now, which trends on twitter weekly which is why there are many opinions about it. Not all these opinions are in favor of the drama but like the makers say like it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore it!
Mere Pass Tum Ho is also one of those dramas which has viewers divided in two definite groups; there are those who absolutely love it and then there are those who make sure that they share their criticism regarding the drama after a new episode airs…since they too are watching the show even though they are not liking it! When a drama gets this much attention, every little thing about it is put under scrutiny and so is the case with Mere Pass Tum Ho.
Everything related to Mere Pass Tum Ho gets viral which is why there are varying opinions from all quarters. But why is Mere Pass Tum Ho coming under such scrutiny and controversy time and again? What actually is a controversy? Well a controversial topic or project is one on which the public cannot agree and when a drama becomes controversial it means that it has in some way hit a wrong nerve. It won’t be wrong to say that either the drama or the people associated with it have done just that. There are actually some pretty solid reasons for that which will be explained fully in this article.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s Interview
The discussion surrounding Mere Pass Tum Ho was pretty basic like character analysis and pointing out the issues people had with these characters until the writer of the drama Khalil-ur-Rehman gave the interview in which he gave plenty of statements which for all the right reasons did not sit well with the public. So much so that even some of the celebrities who had been praising the show till then, started criticizing the writer and the ‘mindset’ behind the show. In a way the writer himself gave people a reason to criticize not just him but the drama too. Up until that point no one had criticized Mere Pass Tum Ho as a male chauvinistic bigoted piece of writing but after that everything was assessed from that angle especially by a specific group of people on social media particularly.
The analysis of the dialogues, showing Mehwish as the vamp and every minute detail was put under the microscope even by those social media users who were not watching the show. This interview basically attracted the attention of even those people who had no idea what the show was about and probably never really seriously sat down to watch Pakistani dramas. So, that’s when Mere Pass Tum Ho turned in to the most controversial play (in the eyes of some people) which was reflecting the regressive and outdated mindset that was responsible for putting women down.
The Dialogues
The interview given by the writer made many people who strongly disliked him for whatever he said analyzed every single dialogue from that point of view and that is when the 2 takay ki aurat dialogue was over scrutinized by the public. Since this dialogue went viral, there were so many people who were not even watching the show who got enraged because a man whose character was written by Khalil-ur-Rehman called his ex-wife 2 takay ki!
To this day, all such people pick up such dialogues and make sure that others see how wrong they are. And that is how the dialogues which were meant to show something else turned controversial.
The Bold Scenes and Scenarios
The bold scenes and scenarios in this drama have also made it controversial especially for those people who strongly believe that Pakistani dramas should be family dramas. The way a married woman openly had an affair was considered indecent storyline by many people. And then the fact that Mehwish and Shahwar are living together without getting married has raised controversies too.
The dialogues of Khalil-ur-Rehman’s dramas are always bold and therefore controversial but this time because this drama got so much hype so the dialogues have come under even more scrutiny especially in light on the writer’s earlier comments.
Controversy Sells!
Well! Mere Pass Tum Ho has proved that controversy sells even though the makers did not attempt to make a controversy and were often seen clearing the air. But, the fact that there were so many controversies regarding this drama has been one of its selling points. It would however be wrong to say that this has been the only selling point like some other dramas. There are many television watching viewers who are not active on social media and therefore such people most often have no idea how a drama is being scrutinized on social media. There are also innumerable fans who use social media and turn to it to show their love and appreciation for their favorite show Mere Pass Tum Ho.
The performances and the way this drama has been made can easily be termed as its backbone which is the main reason why it has been so immensely popular among the masses. It nevertheless continues to be controversial too but all of us who have been watching Pakistani dramas for years now, know that Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is not afraid of controversies. His dramas most often are bold and because of that they are considered controversial.
What do you guys think, have these controversies been blown out of proportion or is all the criticism justified? What in your opinion is the reason for these controversies? Share your views in the comments section below.
Mehwish Hayat is one of the biggest film and television stars in the country. She has gained this position after years of hard work. She has also received several accolades in her career including a Tamgha e Imtiaz from the government of Pakistan. The starlet is once again gracing cinemas this Eid with her film Dagahbaaz Dil and she has been on a media tour for it.
Talking to Sohail Warraich on Aik Din Geo Ke Saath, Mehwish revealed that men do not just flirt with her. She revealed that because she has a very strong personality, people are scared of approaching her in that way and in her line of work that has proven to be good.
She also spoke about what she wants in her life partner. She said that looks do not matter to her. What she feels is important is the personality of a man on how he carries himself. She would want him to be financially stable and have a fun nature as she herself is very practical and she would like her life partner to bring humour and romance into her life.
Mehwish also shared why she is not married yet. She said that she is a perfectionist and she likes to give her 100% to everything. She has till now worked a lot in her career and she has certain goals and dreams which she has to achieve. She added that if she gets married now, her career will suffer and she does not want that. At some point she will be getting married and she will even take time off work then but that is not possible for now.
Mawra Hocane is definitely one of the most successful Pakistani actresses as far as the television industry is concerned. She started her career as a VJ and moved on to television dramas. We have at one time seen Mawra doing back to back drams and she was never away from the screens. She has a massive fan following of her dramas as well as on social media where people follow her progress in life.
The past few years have been very hectic for Mawra as she was not only working in films and dramas but also concentrating on her studies. She is right now pursuing her Masters in Law and is again very busy with her studies. Mawra is also not seen a lot on television these days. We saw her in Sabaat and then Qissa Meherbano Ka. She has hinted to be working on another project with her Sabaat team but not mentioned any release date.
At Nida Yasir’s morning show Mawra came alongside sister Urwa. She shared reason for being missing in action a bit. She said that her degree is very tough which keeps her occupied. Plus now as she has grown in life, she does not want to do projects which she does not believe in so it makes the choices even more limited. Consequently she is not doing a lot of projects lately.
This is what Mawra shared:
Meanwhile Urwa has been working a lot lately and she shared her plans for another film which she wants to produce and has started working on already:
Maria Wasti is a versatile Pakistani television actress who has worked in countless hit dramas. She joined the media industry in the early nineties and her most popular dramas are Kallo, Neend, Boota From Toba Tek Singh, Ashiyana, Buri Aurat, Malkin, Malka Aliya, Rehai and others. Ashiyana and Boota from Toba Tek Singh fetched her fame and immense popularity. Fans also praised her on screen pairing with Faysal Quraishi, Saleem Sheikh and Kashif Mehmood. Nowadays, Maria Wasti is not regularly working in the television dramas.
Recently, Maria Wasti appeared in Mazaqraat, hosted by Imran Ashraf. In the show, she revealed the reason why she is missing from the television.
Talking about it, Maria Wasti said, “It is good to take a break. I’ve heard that one should take a break. Also I’ve been searching for better scripts and stories that I truly want to do. We often find work in abundance, but the quality is usually compromised. An actor always remains in the search of a well-written, in-depth character, a role that gives the actor room to perform. I’m not enjoying the scripts I’m being offered. A person has various shades like you are a son, a father, a husband. A man is different in each of his roles and has multiple layers to his personality. But no one seems willing to write stories on such characters — they’re all following the same pattern.”
We were not expecting Mahira Khan in a Pakistani film that soon. The film Actor in Law will now also be starring “Mahira Khan” in a cameo role.
The news surfaced when the director of the film Nabeel Qureshi shared the information on Instagram.
Nabeel nor Mahira are not sharing any information regarding the description of the character she will be playing in the film.
The producers of Actor In Law, Fizza Ali Meerza has said that film will be having numerous guest appearances. Lets see who else will be in the movie to entertain us!
In Pakistan when someone is going to do something they most often do not have the worry only about what their family member will think but they also have to keep into consideration what neighbors and other people they know will think and say about them.
What is the reason for this? The expert on the show rightly pointed out that the main problem is that people have a lot of free time so they have the time to observe what other people are doing. And they even have more free time to gossip about it. They don’t care how this wrong attitude of theirs effects people.
Hareem Farooq is not just an actress but also a producer. She has produced and acted in films like Janaan, Parchi and Heer Maan Ja. The actress also appeared in dramas like Diyar e Dil, Sanam and Main Khayal Hoon Kisi Aur Ka. Her last drama aired a few years ago and she has not been on television screens since.
She appeared on Something Haute where she revealed why she is not on television screens these days. Hareem said that she wants to forge her own path rather than start replicating the same success formula that everyone is following. She wanted to do diverse roles and she will do roles which challenge her. Hareem also revealed that she will be seen soon on screens in drama 22 Qadam opposite Wahaj Ali where she is playing a female cricketer.
Hamza Ali Abbasi is one of those actors whom people love watching on their screens. He sought of came, saw and conquered considering he started his acting career with a pretty negative role in Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Milay. Since then he has been starring as a lead in different dramas. He also did films with Parwaz Hai Junoon as the lead while Jawani Phir Nahin Aani was an ensemble cast. But Hamza swore off films after Jawani Phir Nahin Ani. He has been missing from the screens since we saw him as Qalb e Momin in Alif. Hamza shared the reason for being missing in action during his recent interview.
He shared that he has been studying religion and on a new path in life:
Hamza Ali Abbasi did dramas but he left the films all together. He has earlier shared his concerns over the content we are making with his opposition towards things like item numbers being forcefully inserted into films. He shared that the dramas are in a limit that he is okay with but there is content being produced in our films that he does not agree with thus he has not been keen on doing films over dramas.
Right now his long awaited film The Legend of Maula Jatt is happening. He is open to do more projects if it fall within the boundaries he has set.
Thora Sa Haq is one of the most watched drama serials on television right now. Even those viewers who usually do not watch dramas involving damsels in distress are watching this one. Thora Sa Haq is one of those dramas which people might criticize for some reason or the other but they cannot ignore it. Also, there is a vast majority which is simply hooked to the show because of different reasons. These viewers consider Thora Sa Haq the best drama on television without any reservations. The script of the drama has been written by Adeel Razzaq, it has been directed by Ahmed Bhatti and it airs on ARY Digital. So what is the reason behind Thora Sa Haq’s popularity? Since we genuinely feel that many of the people who are watching and loving this show are those who are not active on social media therefore here we are deciphering the reasons why Thora Sa Haq is the most watched drama on television right now.
Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas Jodi
This is not the first time that Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas have been seen together in a drama. Their on-screen jodi has won people’s hearts many times before too. They starred together in Tum Kon Piya, Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei and Koi Chand Rakh before they were chosen to play the leading role in Thora Sa Haq. Their track record shows that viewers love this on-screen couple. All of Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas’ dramas have been popular hits.
Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas have always been shown tied up in a love triangle in a drama. Whether it was Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei, Tum Kon Piya or Thora Sa Haq there is always some conflict because of which their characters are shown suffering. The love is always there but because of the conflict they cannot be together. And that is why the viewers find themselves rooting for their on-screen jodi, waiting to see if they will get their happy ending.
Ayeza Khan and Imran Abbas look great together. Their sizzling on-screen chemistry cannot be denied. When the producers announced that they will once again be seen together, viewers were excited. This on-screen jodi is the number 1 reason why the viewers are loving Thora Sa Haq.
The Fast Pace
The fast pace of a drama makes a huge difference. There are some dramas which are written well and have a lot to offer but they are so slow that people get bored. There are many viewers out there who watch dramas solely for entertainment so for them how fast the story moves forward makes a big difference. The producers of Thora Sa Haq understood the importance of moving the story forward quickly. Many people also think that the producers took inspiration from the mega hit drama Hamsafar. Hamsafar too was popular because the story moved so quickly especially in the first 6 or 7 weeks. The producers know that once people get hooked to the play in the first few weeks, they will keep on watching it out of curiosity.
There are so many viewers who watch the show but do not take it too seriously. They love the fast pace of the drama and watch it because they find it entertaining. When the story moves forward in a fast manner, it is easier for people to be hooked to a drama. They know that every episode will have some new development.
Visually Pleasing
Thora Sa Haq is definitely well made. The whole drama watching experience becomes better when everything is presented in a visually pleasing way. The production values of the drama are good too. The locations and the overall looks of the characters too appeal to the viewers. Ayeza Khan looks good in a simple role. Viewers are also enjoying watching her in a role which is a complete opposite of the one she is playing in drama serial Mere Pass Tum Ho. Ayeza Khan also always makes sure that she promotes every drama she work in which is why her fans watch her dramas.
Saba Faisal looks stunning even though she is playing a negative role in Thora Sa Haq. Saba Faisal is one of those few older actresses who can look gorgeous and graceful in dramas. In Thora Sa Haq she looks like the rich and arrogant woman she is playing.
The Performances
The success of any drama depends on its performances. A good script if not executed on screen properly by way of good performances can be ruined. On the other hand, a simple script if performed well by the actors can become a hit. Thora Sa Haq’s story is not different but all the characters have given superb performances. The cast of the drama is strong. Mashal Khan too has surprised the viewers by playing her role so well since she does not have a lot of experience in acting. Her role is different from the one she played in Suno Chanda.
Thora Sa Haq is a drama in which all the actors from the lead to the supporting ones have been doing complete justice to their respective roles which has made a big difference. The fact is that all the actors in this drama are actually quite close to one another in real life too adds to the organic chemistry between them. In this manner everything we see looks more real than staged.
The Instagram posts of the Thora Sa Haq cast are filled with love for each other. Even though there is a lot of hate which we see among some of the characters in the drama but in reality, all of them share a special bond which is another reason why they gelled in so perfectly in the drama.
Typical But Not Illogical
Thora Sa Haq has a typical story, a love triangle, the usual damsel in distress kind of a situation but at no point does the story get illogical. Some of the developments in the story frustrate the viewers like when Hareem says yes to the nikkah even after knowing Zamin is already married to Sehar. And also viewers wondered why Zamin waited so long to tell Hareem the truth. So yes few developments in the story have been frustrating but they are in no way illogical. Such conflicts and frustrations in fact make the viewers even more interested in the drama.
Sometimes the viewers needs a break from the more heavy duty dramas and they want to watch a drama which has emotional value but isn’t too heavy duty. Thora Sa Haq is such a drama which even with all its typicality has been entertaining the viewers. The viewers find themselves waiting for the next episode. Everyone is rooting for Sehar and waiting to see how this mess will be cleared now that Zamin and Hareem are also married. The viewers also feel sorry for Hareem just as much as they do for Sehar which has created a more complex situation.
Are you watching Thora Sa Haq? Is it a drama you are truly invested in or a guilty pleasure? Do you feel for Hareem just as much as you do for Sehar? Why are you watching the play? Share your views.

Social media has been recognized as one of the most important tools for gauging a celebrity’s fame. Many Pakistani actors have openly admitted that fan following on social media affects their actual work. There are others who are not too happy with the fact that many times this fan following is the reason why some actors bag big projects. Whether someone likes the impact social media has had on celebrities and the industry or not, they cannot deny its importance which is why most Pakistani celebrities have active social media accounts. This also gives the fans of these celebrities easy access to them since most of these celebrities make sure that they stay in touch with their fans through these platforms.
Ayeza Khan became the most followed Pakistani actress on Instagram with 8 million followers. The competition on social media is just as fierce as it is in the entertainment industry. Therefore, it is definitely a huge deal that Ayeza Khan managed to break everyone’s record on Instagram. However, it can be safely stated that Ayeza Khan deserves this following. Anyone who follows Ayeza Khan on Instagram will agree that this following is an outcome of years of hard work and dedication.
Here is why we think Ayeza Khan is the most followed Pakistani actress on Instagram.
Buzzing With Activity
Ayeza Khan is surely not the only talented actress on Instagram but she is perhaps the only one whose Instagram account is buzzing with activity all the time. All those people who use Instagram and follow Pakistani celebrities will agree that there are very few of them who actually put in the effort to make sure that there is something exciting and new every single day on their Insta feed. This definitely requires a great deal of effort and makes things interesting for those who are following her on Instagram.
Runs Her Account Herself
There are so many Pakistani celebrities who let their managers run their social media accounts. Fahad Mustafa recently openly declared that most often he has no idea what is going on in social media since that is not a priority for him. Ayeza Khan on the other hand has repeatedly mentioned in an interview that she runs her account herself. This means that she considers running her social media accounts just as important as any of her other work. In an interview, she shared that no matter how busy she is, she always finds time for Instagram. That is definitely something that has contributed to her presence on this social media forum.
Values Her Fans
Ayeza Khan is constantly showing appreciation and love for her fans. Even though she is so popular now, she never takes her fans for granted. Ayeza Khan is just as dedicated to pleasing his fans and ensuring that she does not hurt their feelings as she was when she started working. Very often celebrities express their annoyance with people who criticize them on social media but Ayeza Khan has always looked at all the feedback she got from her fans in a positive manner. In her interviews, she has always said that she considers her fans her family.
Shares Pictures Generously
Some of the most popular celebrities sometimes hold back while sharing their pictures on Instagram. Ayeza Khan is definitely not one of those celebrities since she makes sure that she shares all her pictures on Instagram whether she is out with her family or starting a new project, her fans are the first ones to know. Even on weekends, Ayeza Khan makes sure that her fans get to see how her day was. When it comes to sharing pictures on Instagram no one can compete with Ayeza and that is definitely the reason why she will continue to be the most followed celebrity.
Style Game On Point
Ayeza Khan is a really stylish actress who manages to stay stylish without dressing in a way that would hurt the sentiments of her fans. She has found the perfect balance where she manages to stay on top of the style game while staying connected to her roots. She has carved an identity for herself which appeals to both her conservative and modern fans.
Family Oriented Posts
Ayeza Khan does not only post pictures of herself or her professional life on Instagram but she makes sure that her followers get to see enough of her family as well. She has always talked about how important her family life is to her, which makes even those women who are housewives relate to her on some level. Ayeza Khan’s family is also considered one of the most loved families of the showbiz industry.
Stays Away From Controversies
Even with such a strong social media presence Ayeza Khan has managed to stay away from controversies. Just like all the other celebrities, she also gets a lot of criticism at times but she has never engaged in unnecessary arguments and has made sure that she does not say anything which would turn into a controversy. Because of this, her fans have always felt that there is a positive vibe to her personality and she practices what she preaches. In this manner, she also stays in the news for all the right reasons instead of engaging in unnecessary banters the way many other celebrities do.
Off-Screen Personality
Ayeza Khan’s off-screen and real-life personality has also contributed to her fan following. When people watch her interviews, they feel connected to her since although she is a star, much of what she says is such that others feel that she is one of them. Even with all the fame, Ayeza Khan does not have the kind of attitude which many other stars have. That is definitely an appealing factor for many.
Professional Photo Shoots
Ayeza Khan has been part of more professional photoshoots lately than any other Pakistani celebrity. These photoshoots keep on coming and in each one of these shoots, Ayeza looks prettier than ever. People look forward to what Ayeza Khan in store next and she never disappoints. Since she works with the best brands and photographers, these photoshoots are shared on so many leading social media pages which definitely add to her following. People are naturally more interested in finding out what Ayeza Khan is up to next and for doing so they follow her on Instagram.
Social Media Presence
Apart from her own Instagram account which is growing in popularity with every passing day, there are so many other pages that share everything Ayeza shares. Every leading showbiz page shares Ayeza Khan’s pictures and news related to her because they know that she has a massive following. There are so many fan pages as well which further enhance this social media presence.

On another occasion in the show, Fahad Mustafa asked, “What excuse would you give on not marrying, I Didn’t find anyone, my family is finding someone or I will stay quiet?, He replied, “I would say that I didn’t find any girl so far, the answer I gave to you earlier”. Have a look at the video:
Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly or Sajal Raza Mir as she calls herself now, make an absolutely beautiful and adorable on and off screen couple. The duo, who began dating each other after their drama, Yakeen Ka Safar, happen to be Pakistan’s favorite celebrity couple today. The duo’s fans have also give them a beautiful name, Sahad.
Ahad and Sajal appeared together in Yakeen Ka Safar and the couple became an instant hit. The duo, then became inseparable, their chemistry sizzling and setting the screen on fire. One drama after another and one advertisement after another, you could see Ahad and Sajal everywhere and yet it wouldn’t be enough. They looked so cute together, we couldn’t get enough of the two.
However, nobody knew that Ahad and Sajal didn’t really date each other in the literal sense of the word. In fact, in a very recent interview, Sajal’s sister Saboor revealed how, Ahad had approached Sajal with a formal proposal through his family and talked to her father directly.
The couple got married in March in Abu Dhabi. Their wedding, although a very simple affair was a memorable one. From the pictures that Sajal and Ahad have shared on their social media, their union was indeed a fairytale wedding, however, minus all the pomp and glory the world has become used to when it comes to celebrity weddings.
As loving as the two are, what we love about Sahad is the fact that you don’t find them overly affectionate in public. Yes we spotted them together a number of times, but you didn’t see any public display of affection with Sajal and Ahad. The two maintained a dignified presence in the eye of the media and publicly, which given the circumstances today, is really hard to find. And which, definitely increased Sahad’s respect in our eyes. Here’s to the gorgeous couple and their coming years of togetherness.
