DG Salman Sufi of Chief Minister’s Strategic Reforms Unit is starting the first Violence Against Women Centre (VAWC) of South Asia in Multan on the 25th of March 2017. He is doing this with official ambassadors like Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and Rubina Shaheen on board.
Sharmeen said at the press conference:
“I have never come across a rehabilitation centre like this one, where women could take refuge and pursue their case against the perpetrators without external pressure. Usually, women go through so much for even registering an FIR that the majority is forced to give up their fight against abuse at the very beginning”.
Meekal Hassan band is also on board with SRU and will perform at the inauguration. The performance will be dedicated to all the women who have faced violence in any form.
The band is collaborating with the Strategic Reforms Unit to create a platform for women, where they have a space to showcase their musical talent, and raise their voice against all acts of violence.
The VAWC will be a platform providing justice to victims of violence. The services which will be offered consist of first aid, FIR registration , medical examinations, post -trauma rehabilitation as well as forensics.

Faysal Quraishi has Said media should avoid falling prey to breaking news syndrome, in order to take lead from the other channels. We break news even when it does not happen. It is considered a very big mistake in journalism to break the wrong news. He said the same happened yesterday when channels declared fake news of Sir Abid Ali’s death. Such news hurt the family so bad that his wife and daughters had to come out to tell that he is alive in those critical moments.
He said that DG ISPR has also said to media that avoid this thing. Faysal Quraishi has said such things do hurt the people who are related to the news especially such news.
He has said stop quoting lies on media and try to use media and social media with a positive attitude.
Well, we agree with what he said as what they did when Zaheen Tahira was Sick, these channels posted news of her death the same happened to be again.
Have we gotten so impatient to declare an ailing person dead?
This attitude should come to an end on a positive note to start praying for all and don’t believe the news that just runs on television unless it has some truth in it and also cross checking of facts has become the foremost lesson now a days which needs to be practiced by readers ,viewers and listeners.

We were never friends says Maya and Sheheryar, in the Munshi show. Sheheryar Munawar said our director told us to first be friends because we as an actors both had up and down sort of a relationship where once Maya on a shoot scolded me on doing some joke with her and then I kept my self a bit distant thinking that, Maya is a dangerous girl after that she on another shoot asked me are you upset with me and then I said no, I am just being in my character, from where we started to be friends and then Asim was the one who casted Maya Ali in paray hat love and urged both to be friends and they say after that we developed the chemistry you guys are seeing it on the screen, also Maya is a very friendly girl. And Maya has nothing much different to say for Sheheryar and both were too open and differently open in the munshi show.
Sheheryar also told that I m not ready for marriage anytime soon, yes after knowing and understanding my partner, I will be marrying on which Maya took a dig at him that why he sounds so much like his charachter in the film.
Maya and Sheheryar shared the difficulties they faced during filming in peer chanasi where Maya fell down twice from stairs even then she didn’t opt to go to hospital but completed the shoot. we are all looking forward to their on screen chemistry and wish them good luck
Minal khan has said in our fraternity there are different kind of people on a question asked by Samina Peerzada that how do you find this feild?
She said that in this feild there are every kind of people there are too bold people and also there are too shy people and it depends upon you how you work, you get bold or you work with respect and for me I had to face a lot of difficulties in start.
She said it had been a whole lot struggle for me and Aiman we we just didn’t get hit in a blink she said we started from commercials during our school days because our father’s friend offered us commercials and thats how we started afterwards we started to get dramas roles and then our struggle paid off. She said I haven’t forgotten from where I belong to, that’s why I am carrying my fame well.
She said our parents supported us to join showbiz because my mother used to go with us on shoots and used to be with us there but I think if parents don’t allow no one should come in showbiz because mindsets and opinions of families are different and one should not deviate from parents for personal good. But otherwise this feild is absolutely good to be taken as profession just make sure to get permission from parents then you will be satisfied and happy.
She said I believe we should not post much about our lives on social media because that is how we attract evil eye and I strongly believe in it. We should live moments rather than posting it on social media, but it becomes necessary for fans to post as they wait for you. She said fame hasn’t spoiled me. It has helped me to become a mature and better person.
We agree because she talked with such maturity even Samina Peerzada was all ears to her and was just listening.

You are also seeing me acting in dramas these days. Previously, I was not allowed to do anything other than the show; they used to put pressure on me. This was the case with Mohsin Abbas Haider too, but he didn’t accept it. He used to do patchwork for around 12 episodes and then go for his dramas. He has done many dramas while doing Mazaqraat. I didn’t do anything other than Mazaqraat. I was told that whenever the team, including Vasay Chaudhary, was busy, I had to manage on my own, and there was no guarantee of work for me. Thakur Saab and Vasay Chaudhary used to go for movies, and during that time I had nothing to do. But now Imran Ashraf manages things for me, and the comedians support me. I did Paradise and the film Kabir. He supported me genuinely and even referred work to me. Season 2 gave me face value.” Here is the link to the video:
Hibba Waqar is a young and talented anchor and social media influencer who started her career as the co host of the popular show Mazaaqraat, like the star singer Aima Baig. Hibba’s pretty long hair and beautiful smile instantly clicked and she was loved by the Mazaaqraat fans. Hiba’s conversation in the show with another co-host Qaiser Pia was liked by Mazaaqraat fans.

Recently, the anchor has gotten Nikkahfied in a beautiful family event. She took her Nikkah videos and pictures to her official Instagram account. Hiba got married to Azhar Sheikh. She has posted very beautiful pictures from her Nikkah events. She was looking adorable in her orange Nikkah outfit. She has posted pictures with family and her groom. Have a look at all the pictures shard by Hiba Waqar.
The Mah-e-Mir starlet was invited in the recent Mazaaq Raat episode and it was hilarious and hilariousity made flesh. Right after she appears Iftikhar thakur says “Allah ne itna khubsurat banaya hai kuch khaya peeya kijiye” and Iman Ali effortlessly replied “Apne ap ko ye kyun nahi btatay ap.” After that Iman talked about body shaming and how no matter how much you weigh people will always find a way to body shame you one way or another.
After which they talked about her film Mah e Mir. She said that though the movie looks abstract but basically it is about ‘love’ and ‘art’. She further talked about how people act like urdu is a tough language to read and speak when we have spoken, read and written this language all our lives. She further added that tough words like ‘Khilat e Fakhra’ were hard to understand the first time she read the script but most of the time it was doable.
And then the forever green question that every actress gets asked why isn’t she married yet to that Iman had a very abrupt response saying “KYUN MAI MAR GAE HOON? Ho jaye gi.”
Afterwards there was a rapid fire round and one of the questions was if these people didn’t do what they already do what’d their professions be according to you. Veena Malik and Iman replied she’d be the taweez karne wali. Humayun Saeed and Iman said girls college ka chokidar. Fahad Mustafa and Iman said he’d have created an energy drink about Shaan she said he’d have been an analyst. Meera would have taught english and Ali Zafar would have been a painter. Hamza Ali Abbasi would have been managing people’s facebook accounts. Ayan Ali would have been an accountant.
Overall Iman was charismatically hilarious at the show it’s a shame that she doesn’t give enough interviews. To be honest the amount of charisma she exudes none of us would be able to handle it if we saw her that often.
Have anything to add?
Zara Sandhu, famously known as Maysam Hussain, is a renowned Pakistani fashion model, digital influencer, and visual artist who gained widespread fame after appearing on season 5 of Tamasha, ARY Digital’s hit reality show based on the Big Brother format. Maysam Hussain was the fourth official elimination of the show, which many viewers called highly unfair, leading some to even demand that the makers re-enter her as a wild-card contestant.
Recently, Maysam Hussain appeared in Zabardast with Wasi Shah. In the show, she complained to Adnan Siddiqui regarding her unfair Tamasha elimination.
Maysam Hussain said, “I am speechless about this question, and I’m thankful to the followers who loved my game—especially when the live feed wasn’t working, yet people still knew what happened to me. I was thrown out of the task as a punishment by Badshah Salamat. It came out of nowhere because I didn’t commit any mistake, and I was expecting justice from Badshah Salamat. He used to make decisions on his own, but that punishment was unjust. Although it was given to me, I owned it. I was given kitchen duty once, which I did. However, a few people forced the Wazir to punish those who didn’t do their duty. There were many who had double duties and didn’t perform them, so eventually, I was named along with them. This season, they changed the rules. My point is that whenever anything unfair happened, Badshah Salamat used to take action, but in that instance, I felt hurt by him. I am a person who doesn’t feel hurt that easily, but that was a place where we used to feel the smallest things deeply. After Tamasha, I got to know that not everyone is your friend.” Here is the link to the video:
Maysam Hussain is the latest contestant to come out of Tamasha Season 5. She was great at tasks and she was trying to completely assess the game. She is now out and she sat down with Hassan Chaudhary at Buzz and shared reality of some of the biggest names who are getting noticed.
Maysam Hussain made her observations regarding Babrik Shah, Laila and Dr Zee Khan. She was very clear about her opinions and analyzed their game plans openly. She also called out people who she thinks are fake.
Maysam Hussain said that Dr Zee Khan and Laila are fake. Laila is a bit genuine but most of the time she is faking it. She also said that Laila does not know but Zee is not her friend. He just needs someone who keeps listening to his lectures and Laila does that for him. This is what she had to say:
Maysam Hussain also spoke about Babrik Shah. She said that he is a strong player for sure but he is not really anyone’s friend. He wants to win it and he is clear about it. He will never make any sacrifices for anyone.
Listen to what she revealed:
Sanam Jung is a well known name of Pakistan Media Industry. Before her marriage all the drama she has been a part of were super hit including Dil-e-Muztar, Alvida and some others as well.

Fans argued that showing a divorce was unacceptable as Annie and Fakhir could fulfil their dreams by living in the marriage. Fans said that the divorces like these can have a detrimental impact on the lives of the suffering children.
Fans expressed their dissatisfaction, suggesting that Annie and Fakhir could have taken a break from each other instead of resorting to divorce. They believed that this ending spoiled the otherwise good storyline of “Mayi Ri”, a fan said, “if divorce was necessary, Annie and Fakhir shouldn’t have become parents”.

I was already doing theatre, although, I didn’t get payment of those plays. At that time, I was already disheartened due to rejections and non payment issues. All the artist wants is acknowledgement and timely payments. I was annoyed when I received Naveed bhai’s call who was from Big Bang Productions. I gave a bad audition. I urged him to take the audition again but he didn’t agree to it. One day, I received a call. He said, ‘you are locked in for the role’. I loved the script.

Talking about it, Maya Khan said, “Stop punishing yourself. It’s hard to accept your mistakes because, as human beings, we all believe we are educated, wise, and intelligent. We often think, ‘How could I possibly make a wrong decision?’ According to the world, I was wise, so how could I go wrong? How could one wrong person make me feel weak, trivial, and unimportant? The girl who appeared strong on the outside was actually very weak on the inside during her difficult days—but that’s enough now. Just remember that one wrong decision gave us experience, taught us valuable lessons, and made us wiser. It was a blessing in disguise because it ultimately benefited us in the long run. Stop cursing yourself. Stop punishing yourself. Instead, gather the experience from your past and use it to build the next chapters of your life.” Watch here:
