Malala Yousufzai has expressed that she hopes that the next entire PSL is held in Pakistan.
She said in a video interview:
“Today is a huge day for Pakistan cricket and I would like to thank Najam Sethi, and congratulate him for making our dream become reality, I hope the next PSL can take place completely in Pakistan.”
Malala Yousafzai is a very influential figure from Pakistan. She got global recognition and even a Nobel Peace Prize after she was shot by the TTP and later flew to the UK where she now lives with her family. Malala is now married to Asswr Malik and the couple is so happy and in love. She worked on girls education and she is also in production now as she worked on different cultural aspects.
Malala Hangs out with global celebrities and she has been spotted at all the big red carpets. She recently gave support to Joyland when it was released internationally. Malala was at a foundation dinner with her husband Asser and she was seen alongside big Hollywood celebrities including Oprah Winfrey. Here are a few pictures of the lady with her husband. Check out:
Malala is a girl who has done it all. She’s achieved so much at this young age that many people can’t reach the feet in multiple lives. She went through a terrible attack, survived and became a symbol of courage, bravery and what todays woman should be like. She’s won a Nobel Prize, a movie has been made on her life, a book has been written. You name it, she’s had it. Recently, her father’s first book Let Her Fly came and she was spotted there at a launch.
Since it is Diwali season, how could have this young iron lady not celebrate it? Malala was seen celebrating Diwali with her friends from Oxford University. Malala looked beautiful in a traditional dress while her friends chose to wear western. Malala really enjoyed her time celebrating Diwali with her friends because the the pictures that have come out say so.
Malala has appeared on a few late night shows on American Television and the amount of confidence she she has is worth praising. We all know her someone who fought for education but there’s a side to her which is like all of us. She likes to have fun, too. She’s often seen cracking jokes and that’s what makes her personality endearing.
Out of so many controversial, yet followed people in the sub-continent, Malala is one of the ones who top the list. The Pakistani Muslim Teenager who has been the victim of being shot by the extremists, is now living in Canada. It was in the news that a biopic movie is in the pipeline starring Reem Shaikh, Atul Kulkarni and Divya Dutta. The release date of the movies was announced to be January 31st, which is just round the week.
Under the title of Gul Makai, the director of the film Amjad Khan took the idea of filming the other side of the story of Malala’s life. The story is based on Pakistani education activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai is set to release soon, and the filmmaker has received a fatwa from a Noida-based Muslim cleric for disrespecting the Quran.
Just recently, the director has reported that he is receiving death threats and also received the below fatwa.
“Ab fatwa lag gaya hai (now a fatwa has been issued) by a person from Noida. There is a poster that has Malala holding a book and standing next to a blast, and he thinks it is the Quran. He thinks we haven’t shown respect to the holy book. He called me a kafir, I am trying to have a word with him so that I can explain to him that it’s an English book,”
After Humsafar, another Pakistani drama is currently now aired on Arabic channel ‘MBC Bollywood’. Malal is telecasted with Arabic name “hob-wa-nadam”. Like Humsafar, Malal is also produced by Momina Duraid productions and it was aired on HUM TV in 2010. Malal is written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Mehreen Jabbar. Its main cast is Faysal Rehman, Deepti Gupta, Imran Abbas, Sarwat Gilani and Taniya Kazi. It was shot in Karachi and Newyork city.

Unfortunately our television producers have been banking on women who continuously shed tears in dramas for a really long time in order to get ratings. Many of the actresses have accepted openly that they get paid for crying, there are others who think it is their USP and there are also those producers who have no qualms accepting the fact that making women cry gets them the ratings they want.
Since this tried and tested formula sold many dramas, now some of the producers have started using the same tactic in morning shows as well. All over the world morning shows are motivating and inspiring because many people begin their day with watching these shows. In Pakistan however our script writers, whether they are writing script for a drama or for a morning show, are quite convinced that making people cry early in the morning can be just as beneficial for the viewers as it is at night (pun intended!).
A host does not necessarily have to be an actor because hosting is a completely different skill which should technically not involve acting but all the morning show hosts nowadays are actors tuned into hosts hence they make the most of their acting skills in morning shows as well. These women who we have seen crying in dramas so often are now using the same “skill” in morning shows as well in the hope that all those women who are sitting at home and watching their shows will think about how miserable their lives are and they will be able to relate to all the melodrama! In my opinion these actresses-hosts are not doing anyone a favor.
In some of the videos which are circulating on the web nowadays actress Sidra Batool was invited by Sadia Imam solely because she wanted to bid farewell to her before she got married like she was going on a war! While marriage is an emotional time for a woman, the fact is that most girls like getting married and enjoy their ceremony as well. When will we stop promoting these clichés which make girls look like a qurbani ka bakra?
I have heard that in remote villages when someone dies there are women who go to that house and wail irrespective of whether they know that person or not. Honestly speaking, some of our modern and educated morning show hosts nowadays are practicing the same behavior on live television every other morning. The background score and the entire “script” is meant to make the environment gloomy because somehow the content heads of these shows strongly believe that the viewers love to see women cry!
The saddest part is that apart from these staged sob-fests even when there is a tragedy, there are hosts who ask the victims’ families questions which are designed to make them even more emotional. When they finally start crying, the camera zooms in which is highly inappropriate and which also goes to prove that these people are not invited to the shows so that the hosts can help them get through this tragedy but only to get ratings at the expense of their tears.The people responsible really should know better than to make a mockery out of people’s tragedies.
How many people would much rather start their day with something that makes them smile or is inspiring instead of watching men and women cry on screen? Don’t you think it is highly inappropriate that our media openly shows its insensitivity towards people’s real problems by using their tears for TRPs?
Just a month or so ago, Saba Qamar was seen in Faysal Qureshi’s morning show and they both expressed their wish to work together sometime. It seems like their wish to work together was heard by Sarmad Khoosat who happens to be their mutual friend and he casted them together for the remake of the movie ‘Aaina’ as we had earlier reported. Faysal Qureshi seems enthusiastic about his upcoming project and has continuously been posting pictures from the set of ‘Aaina’. The promos have gone on air and they have managed to capture the interest of many as Saba and Faysal’s chemistry is very apparent even in the promos
Here is a small song teaser of the telefilm:
Below are the videos from the making of the telefilm and a few pictures. The content below may contain spoilers:
I must say, the telefilm looks pretty interesting. I hope this telefilm turns out to be just as entertaining as the rest of them!

Makeup is an essential part of an actor’s job and it is also the demand of the camera. An actor, irrespective of wanting to wear makeup or not is supposed to look a certain way because the high definition cameras and bright lights not only wash out the features but also accentuate the skin conditions which are absolutely normal but end up looking exaggerated on-screen. An actor is supposed to wear less or heavy makeup, going by their personal preference or also according to the character that they are playing in a film or a drama. As much as the makeup seems to be the glamorous part of an actor’s job or life, it is something that can make or break the look of the characters that they are playing.
In recent years, a lot of celebrity makeup artists as well as the celebrities themselves have started speaking more about the kind of makeup they like to wear and the products they apply. In the past, makeup was used but it was not so easily spoken about because the celebrities feared that the secrets of their signature looks will be revealed but times have changed. Now, every other actor feels comfortable in sharing their tips and tricks because they believe in transparency between them and their fans who also share the love of makeup.
There are a lot of makeup products available for every skin tone, every skin type with numerous brands offering variety to their customers world wide. Our celebrities are also seen endorsing a few products repeatedly which do the job for them and make them look presentable on-screen. Although every single actress or celebrity wears all sorts of brands and different kinds of makeup products, there are still a few which everyone is seen speaking about unanimously.
Here is the list of all those makeup products that are most commonly used by Pakistani actresses:
Kryolan TV Paint Stick
As the name of this product suggests, it is a TV paint stick which has been formulated to stay on the skin under harsh studio lights. For the longest time, all of celebrity makeup artists as well as those celebrities who do their makeup themselves have relied on Kryolan TV Paint Stick. This product is thick and extremely full coverage. It hides all the spots, dark circles or pigmentation as well as stays on the skin in hot and humid weather. This product is suitable to be worn in Pakistani weather that is why this happens to be the go-to product of all the bridal salons all over Pakistan. A lot of celebrities have endorsed this product in different morning shows and they have shown step by step tutorials of how they have been using this product for years. The best thing about Kryolan TV Paint Stick is that is can also be used sparingly to achieve a very natural finish but also can be used to achieve a full coverage airbrushed look. It is easily available all over Pakistan as well.
MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation
MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation is another high-end foundation which is widely and commonly used by the celebrities as well as celebrity makeup artists. This liquid foundation is medium to full coverage and sustains the hot and humid weather. It is also suitable for all types of skin, but dry skin type requires some decent amount of prep and priming before using MAC Studio Fix. Celebrities like Nadia Hussain, Nazia Malik, Sadia Imam, Noor Bukhari and makeup artists like Wajid Khan have time and again showcased this foundation on different morning shows and have spoken highly of it. MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation is easily available all over Pakistan and has a wide range of shades to match all kinds of skin-tones.
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is a powder-based foundation. Although it can be worn on its own like any other foundation, but our actresses like to use it to set any sort of foundation that they have applied, be it a stick foundation or liquid foundation. When worn on its own, it gives a natural makeup look and is best for quick on-the-go makeup looks but when added on top of a liquid foundation, it not only adds another layer but sets the base in place adding longevity to the foundation. This is another product that is commonly seen in almost every other actor’s makeup kit. Apart from actresses, male actors also use this powder foundation comfortably.
Nabila’s Zero Makeup Palette
This product has been raved about and endorsed by a lot of celebrities. Since the actresses tend to wear heavy makeup for longer hours, at times they also need a break. For a day time and effortless makeup, they rely on Zero Makeup palette because it does the job for them and gives them enough coverage to make them look presentable. Nabila’s Zero Makeup consists of a base shade, a concealer, a cheek and lip tint. It also comes in different shades which caters to the different skin tones, ranging from fair to deep. Actresses like Mawra Hocane, Urwa Hocane or Ushna Shah who like to keep a fairly simple, fresh and minimal makeup look rely on Nabila’s Zero Makeup and this is commonly used by other actresses as well.
Masarrat Misbah’s Silk Liquid Foundation
This is one such product which is heavily used and promoted by almost all the celebrities and celebrity makeup artists. Masarrat Misbah has designed and formulated this product keeping Pakistani weather and skin-tones in consideration. This is the reason all the celebrities who have worn this say that this product does not budge. Masarrat Misbah’s Silk Foundation is not only reasonably priced but is easily available all over Pakistan. It is nice to see that almost all the celebrities have time and again promoted this product and have spoken highly of it because they wanted to show support to Masarrat Misbah. Hina Altaf and Sadia Imam are avid users of this product.
Lip and Cheek Tints
This is one such product which is used by every other actress. Usually the two products which are highly used are Benefit’s Benetint and The Body Shop’s Lip and Cheek Stain. This is the product that gives a very natural flush of color to the cheeks and lips as the name suggests. This is one of those go-to products that brings life to the face and gives the cheek some definition and adds freshness to the complexion. Ushna Shah, Hira Mani, Mawra Hocane, Urwa Hocane, Hina Altaf, Iqra Aziz, Sanam Baloch and a lot of other actresses use a variant of this product. A lot of brands offer cheek and lip tints but the ones that are popular among Pakistani actresses are by Body Shop, Benefit and also Lancome.
Highlighters
Every single brand has a variety of highlighting products. Our actresses are also following the trend of highlighting. Some use powder highlighters and others also use stick highlighters. It is hard to pick a name of one famous brand or its highlighter which is popular among Pakistani actresses but it is a done deal that every time they will be seen speaking about their favorite or most used makeup products, they will definitely name a few highlighters because the look is incomplete without them.
MAC Lipsticks and Liquid Lipsticks
MAC is a renowned and well-established brand which is comparatively older to most of the cosmetics brands that have now become popular among the customers. However, MAC Tube Lipsticks have remained consistent in the makeup bags and kits of Pakistani actresses for the longest period of time. MAC makes some of the most amazing lipsticks and has a huge shade range. With the popularity of liquid lipsticks, our actresses have picked up on this trend as well because it lasts for a longer period of time and does not budge. Almost all the famous and popular brands now have their range of liquid lipsticks which are heavily used by our Pakistani actresses.
Sanam Jung was seen sharing names of two shades when she got a lot of requests after the episodes of Jago Pakistan Jago were aired. Sanam Jung shared that she usually wears MAC’s Relentlessly Red and Candy Yum Yum.
In Shahista Wahidi’s Show Hareem Farooq shared that her favorite and go-to liquid lipstick was by Anastasia Beverly Hills named Baby Pink.
Primers and Setting Sprays
These are two products which are purely picked going by the skin-type and personal preference. Pakistani actresses have spoken about primers of brands like Makeup Forever HD, Benefit, Maybelline, MAC, Smashbox etc. They do emphasize a lot on the fact that makeup application turns out better when they have their skin properly moisturized and primed. It is hard to pick one product because when it comes to primers, everyone has a different preference and skin condition but Pakistani actresses do believe in wearing primers. MAC Fix+ happens to be the most commonly used makeup setting spray by our Pakistani actresses. This is one such product that will be seen in their vanity or makeup kits for sure.
Beauty Tools
Eyelash curler happens to be one such product that is most commonly carried by almost all the Pakistani actresses in their day-bags. When they are on the go, a little lash lift turns out to be a game changer and amps up the look while making the eyes look awake and pretty. All the actresses have time and again mentioned that they definitely carry eyelash curler with them and even if they are wearing mascara or not, this is something they don’t leave without.
Beauty Blender is also another makeup tool which is highly in demand and is being widely and commonly used by almost all the Pakistani actresses to apply the foundation. Beauty Blender sheers the foundation and gives an airbrushed look to it. Not only our actresses but celebrity makeup artists also use Beauty Blenders. A lot of brands have come up with their version of makeup sponges but the original Beauty Blender remains a top pick of Pakistani actresses. Makeup brushes are also definitely used by every actress who uses makeup, but Beauty Blenders have taken a top spot for foundation application.

Lots of ladies never know how and what to pack on their holiday especially when it comes to makeup items because well they have a plethora of items. Realistically speaking, we can’t just pack everything , can we? Here’s a list of makeup essentials to carry on your holiday:
Sunscreen
This product should be a must in your makeup bag. Sunscreen protects our skin from harmful sun rays. No matter where we are travelling, this item should be an essential for us. Choose a sunscreen which is light enough and suits your skin. Also it should be applied before makeup as base to lock in the product. It is advisable to choose a stick sunscreen rather than a liquid one, as it allows us to save space in our luggage and the fear of the product being spilled is reduced.
Cleanser
You can buy a travel sized face cleanser for your upcoming trip. Face cleansers are a must when you need to wash your face in the morning and after you need to remove the makeup from your face once you’re done with the day. Face cleansers also eliminate the need of carrying a separate makeup remover.
BB Cream
Many BB creams contain SPF, so you won’t have to carry a sunscreen separately. BB creams also double as foundations and are light on the skin as well. Buy a new medium or small sized BB cream to open on your trip instead of packing an already used one and try to finish it there and then.
Concealer
The great thing about concealers it that they can be worn with or without foundations or even double as foundations. Choosing the right concealer can be crucial so you don’t look too fair or too dark. Orange or green concealers can also be carried on your trip if you’re skeptical of any blemishes or skin problems you must cover. Choose a stick concealer to carry with you to save space in your luggage.
Powder
A powder keeps the makeup in place and refrains skin from sweating. Lots of people can not live without a good powder, if you’re skeptical of your compact powder breaking while travelling, choose to carry loose powder instead.
Lipstick
An essential and must have, a lady always needs two or three shades of good lipsticks while travelling. Choose between pinks, peaches and nudes as they go with almost every other color. You can also pack a great red color for a night out with your loved ones.
Lip balm
Many lip balms contain SPF and can keep your lips moisturized and hydrated. You can apply lip balm before or after putting your lipstick on. You can also choose to buy tinted lip balms which will rule out the option of carrying lipsticks.
Mascara
Mascara awakens your eyes and makes you look absolutely fresh. Two coats of a good mascara and you’ll look absolutely stunning on your trip. You can easily get a travel sized mascara from the store to carry with you.
If you are new to cosmetics, then you only need a handful of makeup items and not the whole lot of products available in market. Start off with the basics while moving on to the rest later on. Here’s a checklist for you to add to your makeup kit:
Primer
Primer acts as a base to keep your makeup locked into one place. It fills your open pores and gives you a flawless base to apply makeup to. They also control excess shine if you have oily skin. Try Maybelline Baby Skin primer as a beginner.
Moisturizer
Moisturizer is essential especially if you have dry skin. It keeps skin silky smooth and glowing as well. Try to use sunscreen as well to protect your skin from tanning. Any local moisturizer can be used for this purpose.
Foundation
A good foundation goes a long way. It is important to choose one which matches your skin tone. There is absolutely no need to buy high end foundations for your makeup kit but you should only invest in one which suits your complexion and budget. Maybelline, Loreal, Makeup Forever and many other drugstore brands are good money savers in this regard.
Concealer
Along with foundation, a concealer does wonders for your skin problems and especially eyes. If your eyes are looking dull and tired, a concealer does the trick and brightens them up like magic. It sure is a must have in every girl’s makeup kit! Brands to look for a concealer which does the job can be LA Girl, NYX, Loreal or any other drugstore brand.
Mascara and Eyeliner
A mascara just like a concealer makes the eyes look bright and beautiful. Add on some winged eyeliner or even a thin black line and you have your glam on! Essence does the best mascaras in the market which would not break your bank. For eyeliner, NYX should be your go to brand.
A nude or black pencil
A nude pencil can be used to give the illusion of bigger eyes and can also be used to highlight your brow bone and inner corner of the eyes. This brings attention to your features making them look striking as ever. Whereas, a black pencil makes eyes look smaller yet glamorous and sexy!

When one starts to do makeup, they get confused with the amount of products there are and especially the wide range of brushes available. Just like you don’t need all the products, similarly you don’t need all the brushes to apply them. Here’s a rundown of the only brushes you’ll need to create your flawless look:
Foundation brush
There are two types of foundation brushes, one is a flat brush while one has a flat top. Both are very useful for getting a flawless finish with your foundation. A good foundation brush will have straight, flexible bristles that you can use to apply your foundation to your face.
If you’re applying liquid foundation, you need the proper brush to apply it even without harsh lines and streaks. The product can be applied by dotting it all over your face and using the brush to blend it evenly.
It’s very important to wash your foundation brushes regularly to keep your skin clean and healthy. When you wash the brushes, use your fingers to reshape them as they are drying.
Concealer brush
Concealers are used to cover any imperfections and brighten up dull areas on the face such as under eyes, etc. To apply concealer precisely and evenly, you can use a concealer brush. A concealer brush looks like a mini foundation brush with dense and soft bristles. Use a concealer brush to apply the products to desired areas and make sure to blend it into the foundation so your face doesn’t look drastic and imperfect.
Powder brush
A powder brush is very large and fluffy, and it has a domed shape to evenly disperse the product over the face. It is mostly used to set your makeup in place with the help of loose powder. Powders help makeup last all day without cracking or getting oily. Be sure not to use a lot of powder on the face as you don’t want to look like a ghost.
Blush brush
A good blush brush has the same fluffy design as a powder brush, but it is smaller to fit on the cheeks. Blush brushes are used to apply powder blush on the apples of the cheeks while moving on to the temples in a light motion. If you’re using a cream blush, you can dab the product on to the apples and work your way through there in a dabbing motion. Always use small amounts of product so you can build it up as you desire.
Contour brush
Contouring gives your face a naturally sculpted look. A contour brush has very dense, angled bristles that will create a precise contour application. These brushes can be used with either powder or cream contour products. Be sure to apply the contour product to the right places for chiseled, sculpted look and work your way through that specific area. Blend it in well with your foundation so it doesn’t make you look like you’re covered in dust. Many people choose to apply contour to their temples, the sides of their nose, or their jawline for a sleek look. Contour brush can also be used to lightly dab on some highlighter on the high points of the cheeks.
Eye shadow brush set
For doing the perfect eye shadow look, you’ll need an eye shadow brush set. This set contains all the different types of brushes designed for doing tasks and getting into the shape of the eye. The blending brush is used to seamlessly blend the eye shadow into the eyes while a detailed brush is used for doing intricate work. Just like this, all other brushes in the kit provide necessary usage so be sure to use them properly.

The producer of the blockbuster film Maula Jatt, Muhammad Sarwar Bhatti is all set to return to the entertainment industry. Bhatti will be re-launching his production company called Bahoo Films Corporation, with upcoming film LPD, releasing a film every year.
“I always aim at creating timeless films so I have to spend a lot of time on the film’s story and its visual treatment,” Bhatti told The Express Tribune.
“It’s a fact that no one else – not in Pakistan or India – has been able to produce a film like Maula Jutt. In fact, Bollywood producers used to copy my work! Maula Jutt was remade there as Jeenay Nahin Dounga, Haq Meher was copied as Sanam Bewafa and Bazar-e-Husn as Tawaif. That was the golden era of Pakistani films!”
According to Bhatti, a production company is judged for its, originality. “That’s why I took a break from films; it’s against my nature to repeat or copy other’s work,” he explained.
“It’s my commitment that LPD will be a great addition to Lollywood. I have also been waiting for my son to graduate from National College of Arts (NCA) and introduce him through the film. It’s important to motivate new, young talent and benefit from their ideas.”
Muhammad Muttaqi, Bhatti’s son and CEO of Bahoo Films Corporation said, “It’s a mega budget film and we’re casting some of Pakistan’s biggest artists, as well as some old ones from Maula Jutt. We plan to shoot in the northern areas of Pakistan and abroad,” he revealed. “My father and I have been developing LPD’s music, script and dialogues for a long time now.”
“It’s a fact that people are still trying to replicate the film. Just recently, a director asked us for the official rights to Maula Jutt but we refused. It’s the longest-running Pakistani film of all time! No one else can produce it and when the time is right, Bahoo Film Corporation will make Maula Jutt 2 as well,” he stated.
“Haq Meher won Best Direction at the Iran Faras International Film Festival in 1994, Bazar-e-Husn won Best Film in Moscow. Even LPD is going to be huge! This time, our priority is new talent and we’re conducting interviews at university level.”
It is natural for everyone to want to look beautiful.To achive this, ladies resort to make-up. Looking gorgeous on the day of your wedding is a must because it (usually) happens once in your lifetime. Besides, it is a norm for our desis to comment on the bride’s appearance that night. However, have you ever thought of professionals making comments on a bride’s appearance? Well, we one one such bride for you. That too, a celebrity! Momal Khan married to Nadir in 2012 but Sanam Jung had top notch make-up artists analyzing her make-up recently and we have got it all down for you. Watch the video and learn what they thought of the bride:
Pakistan is a very warm country and the summer months make one remember hell’s fire in nearly all the provinces. So we get a lot of sun and consequently asymmetrical tans and many a times straight away sun burns. Hands and feet are generally parts of the body that are most exposed to the sun and people forget to apply any sun screen to them. So this results in uneven tone and dull skin of hands and feet which generally does not match the face.
Nida Yasir brought on skin experts and aestheticisna to her show and they shared some home made masks for different beauty purposes. Dull skin on hands and feet is one of the biggest issues faced by Pakistani people and they also had a mask that can make this problem go and you can have that fresh look on your hands and feet.
Dr Umm e Raheel shared a home made mak for hands and feet so they can glow. Take yoghurt and add coffee, almond powder and multani mitti to it. After mixing add a bit of almond oil to it and apply it to your hands and feet. Apply it like a mask and leave it to dry. Remove it in a scrubbing manner and don’t straight away wash it. The result will be glowy skin.

He also made headlines for his experimental transformations of senior actresses like Saba Hamid, Shagufta Ejaz, and others.
Recently, Wajid Khan appeared on Nida Yasir’s morning show Good Morning Pakistan. During the show, he opened up about being affected by the evil eye and black magic, allegedly cast on him by a staff member in jealousy.
Talking about it, Wajid Khan said, “I won’t take anyone’s name but evil eye is for real. Not many people around you are happy with your success and prosperity. They are always jealous of your success, wealth, and prosperity. Not only that, they don’t even spare you when you’re struggling or earn less. It’s better to hide everything. Allah has given me a new life. During COVID, I went through a terrible time—I became extremely skinny and weighed only 45 kg. It was a very tough period, and I was on the verge of death. They did everything they could to make sure I wouldn’t survive”house.”
He further added, “A religious cleric once said to me, “You have so many lizards around you—how are you still alive?” I told him, “I’m a regular Namazi, and Darood Sharif is always on my tongue.” I am safe only because of prayers and Darood Sharif. Eventually, I found out that it was one of my own staff members behind all this. I’m now very cautious of employees from other salons because they often come with hidden motives. I’m afraid of black magic and the evil eye. My protection lies in Namaz, Tahajjud, Darood Sharif, and Allah’s help—but I still remain cautious. One must always be careful. And here’s my tip for all, never eat sweet dishes from someone else’s
