Talking about it, she said, “Although our drama industry has progressed significantly and is producing successful dramas, it still operates in a very unprofessional manner—especially when it comes to payments. You may find many flaws in the USA, but payments there are always on time. In Pakistan, no production house pays on time. Some do, but in most cases, you have to chase them for payment—you end up feeling like a beggar. From actors to directors to spot boys, it’s the same story. The salaries of technical crews are extremely low. They’ve mastered the art of saving money, and this is how they manage to keep productions affordable. I don’t know how this cycle will break. It’s stressful to work in Pakistan.” Here is the link to the video:

Danish Taimoor stirred a controversy this Ramzan with a bold statement regarding multiple marriages.

If I talk about our two hosts, I would rate Danish higher between the two — he was kinder and more friendly. The Filhal incident occurred because Danish Taimoor has a habit of saying Filhal — he uses it in almost every statement. When Ayeza came on the show, she was super friendly and kind. Now, about the Filhal statement — it had been a topic of discussion on the show for weeks. So, when Ayeza Khan came, the same discussion was ongoing, and in the heat of the moment, he said it again. I don’t think there was any motive behind it. I also believe Ayeza remained silent because reacting might have triggered even a bigger controversy.”

Shehenshah e Ghazal Mehdi Hassan’s son Arif Hassan has called upon Indian government to help build the maestro’s mausoleum. At his demise the Federal and Sindh government had promised to build his mausoleum and a library in his name. But even after 5 years now; nothing has been done.
Arif said:“My father was a great singer who did a lot for this country,I wanted our government do this work but since it has not done anything I’m left with no other option but to ask others for help.”
Mehdi Hassan Sahab had 6 sons. And the other family is not happy with Arif’s decision. They have criticized him as they think this will bring bad name to the family and nation.
Another of his sons Sajjad Hassan said: “We still reject any Indian support for the construction of my father’s mausoleum as this country gave us a lot, including honour.” He said this in the context that his father always denied any help from India even when he was alive and the elders of the family are also criticizing Arif’s decision.
Mehdi Hassan Sahab has equally been loved by both Pakistanis and Indians.
Mehdi Hassan is one of the biggest musicians of Pakistan as well as the South Asian region. He is known as Shahanshah e Ghazal meaning The King of Ghazals and his songs are evergreen.

Mehdi Hassan’s son Imran Mehdi Hassan has taken his legacy forward as they come from a big musical family. He is singing beautiful ghazals and keeping the talent in the family alive and well.
A few days back, Pakistani musician Ustad Tafu spoke about Ustad Mehdi Hassan sahab. He commented that he does not agree with Lata Mangeshkar’s words that Mehdi Sahab had Bhagwan in his throat as Mehdi Hassan could only sing to a particular scale. It must only be Bhagwan’s peon as he cannot sing above a certain scale.
Mehdi Hassan Sahab’s son Imran Mehdi Hassan has come forward and spoke about Ustad Tafu’s insulting comment. He said that they have always respected Ustad Tafu as a family but he just lowered his own status by saying something so negative. The world knows how big a legend Mehdi Hassan is and Ustad Tafu will never get the same respect that he had before he said this.
Here is how gracefully Imran Mehdi replied to Ustad Tafu’s comments:
