This video has gone viral on the internet not because it is obscene but because the lady who came up with this idea picked up a very novel idea to promote something that serves a social cause. Usually there are many problems which women have which are not treated on time therefore the WHO and other institutions and people try to make women aware about these medical issues in whatever way they can. The woman in the video wore a robe and opened it in public just to get the attention of the public because otherwise if she was wearing this same T shirt she could not have attracted so much attention. Everyone in the public is curious therefore they pay attention to her. Also, many people who watch this video may take it in a different context when they watch the beginning but they are sure to be shocked when they see the ending.
See the video and tell if you were shocked to see how it ended.

Minal then said that she doesn’t drink just water only but she also drinks a lot of liquids including coffee, green tea and fresh juices. She further said that it can also be honey water, mint water and lemon water. “Just drink water all the time, when you are doing nothing, just drink water or any liquid”, said Minal Khan.
It is said that if you view acts of violence/ aggression and the likes, it in turn reduces our responsiveness to them thereby making them appear normal to us. Seeing a pattern of behaviour over and over again, we tend to subconsciously accept it. Talking to my sister who resides in Karachi, I often hear her say “Yeh toh yahan roz ki baat hai…” as if a bombing was as commonplace as fireworks at a wedding. People have a lukewarm response at most when narrating the latest target killing, tact of terrorism, etc. Similarly, we the audience are being routinely exposed to drama after drama that are passing on violence and abuse as if they were promoting some new blend of chai. Has abuse become something we now readily accept as a part of life? Is putting up with violence the prerequisite for a girl getting married? How many such concepts are quickly creeping into our dramas making them the new normal?
Browse through any random drama and you’d come across some common themes- dusri shadi, women putting up with abuse because their husband lost their cool, talaaq, jadu and jahalat. We are repeatedly seeing women being mistreated, ridiculed, humiliated, raped and yet it is simply a part of the storyline and in the end, the women pretend like nothing was ever wrong- a few quick tears and all is well with the world. I often wonder where the writers who pen these storylines seek inspiration for their creativity? Is our society embedded in such vices and are we being ignorant of shrugging them off or is this slowly becoming something we are ready to accept as a part of the society we live in?
What good can come of out showing a man who takes another wife and then justifying his reasons for it? Is there nothing a woman can say or do to ensure her man will remain faithful to her for the years she gives to her marriage? Why is it that every time there’s an argument between a husband and wife the wife is either slapped into submission or shown the door with a divorce? Have we seriously become so numb that we watch all of this unfolding on our televisions without so much as flinching? Soon there will be a time when every girl getting married assumes her husband is entitled to abusing her as he pleases and she will become accepting of this treatment. Are we creating a breed of domesticated, unthinking women who have little purpose in life except putting up with whatever they are subject to? I am seriously frustrated with the line-up of dramas that deal with some or all of these issues and never actually make a point. Can we please just put an end to all this rubbish?
Yes seriously, those people who are going gaga over the Turkish plays please enlighten me, what exactly is it about these plays that is so different or unique and obviously appealing that I find so many people praising these plays and of course following them. Turkish dramas have been criticized to the limit, I know that but the fact is that they have a huge fan following. I have witnessed it around me and I also know it because of the number of people who watch these dramas online. People may not have the “courage” to say outright that these dramas are great and we love them because there will be too many people “judging” them then but there is a big “silent” majority who follows these dramas. I have nothing against Turkish dramas; I am definitely not the part of the “group” that dislikes Turkish dramas solely because they are foreign! I tried watching Ishq-e-Mamnu when it went on air because practically every second person around me was talking about it, like it was something very special but I found the whole dubbing factor a huge put off and couldn’t watch it. I must confess though that based on the opinions of many people I know, I did feel like I was missing out something big.
Things have changed greatly now in the past few months, even if you don’t like something about these plays, you still ended up watching a few minutes of a Turkish play every now and then while switching channels or out of sheer curiosity because they are being aired on every single channel and also because sometimes it seems like Turkish plays are all that there is on television at a given time. I ended up watching a few episodes of these Turkish plays in bits and pieces and I think I got the gist of all the stories quite well. Most of the stories revolve around rich families with twisted morals (illegitimate children and extra marital affairs); most of the family members are very actively involved in plotting and planning, young or old. Yes, there most certainly was a lot of plotting and conspiracies in the few episodes I watched. I watched at least two different plays in which the sisters (or the step sister) were after their Brother-in-Laws. The one on Hum TV is pretty much the same as the twisted sibling stories we see on our screens very often. One sister is holier than thou and the other one is totally opposite – she is out to ruin her sister’s life. The plotting and planning is very different from our dramas (it is much more intricate) but that is what it is. Almost all the stories revolve around married couples and families that have ugly secrets. Don’t we see all of just that in our plays too? The only difference is that the women in our plays are not dressed to kill and the houses are not so beautiful. Yes, some of these dramas proved to be visual treats but nothing more than that. There was nothing about the stories at all that made me stand up and take notice or look forward to more.
My opinion is based on watching only a few episodes of some of these plays. I would really like the viewers who like Turkish plays to tell me that what is about these plays that is so different? Is it because of the different faces (I have to say some of them are very pretty!) or is it because people like the settings of the plays which are obviously different too. Is there a Turkish drama on air right now, the story of which does not revolve around family politics of rich families or extra marital affairs? I heard Fatima Gul had a different story but I didn’t watch it at all. I don’t mean to be sarcastic or critical, I am just very curious to hear what is it that the viewers like about these plays. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Faryal talking about love mentioned that “I haven’t experienced such love in my entire life which is shown in dramas. I think we as an individual, when we meet someone we see that qualities in that person which we want to see. We build an image which we want to see and that image keeps us going back to that person and investing more and more.”
“The people who don’t get married and only their love stories are left behind, it creates another kind of image in one’s minds. I think the love your friends give to you is something different, it’s what genuine love is”, added Faryal.
Faryal further said that “For me friendship is more important rather than a romantic relationship. If I need you and you are there for me than you actually love me and that’s what love is for me, to secure me. My definition of love is somehow unromantic.”

These days when the world has taken a break from its normal routine, people have gotten a chance to implore another version of themselves by staying at home and doing different things than they usually used to do. Like all of us, our celebrities are too staying indoors to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and are pretty bored and locked down. Many celebrities have been sharing their new routine and activities with their fans and followers where some of them are enjoying family time with spouse and kids, some of them are simply utilizing their time in doing something productive, and guess what, Hina Altaf is kind of having a mixed plate on her credit.

Oh Yes, Who would like to play a Ludo now since Hina is already there in the Lobby?
Gaslighting is a form of brainwashing where the victim is forced to doubt their worth. Here is a list of signs someone is in a relationship with a gaslighter:
They constantly remind you of your flaws
Gaslighters like to accuse you and attack you personally by constantly reminding you of your flaws. Whether it is at a personal relationship or workplace, you’re always subjected to being weak, undesirable and dull.
You will be made to feel like there’s always something wrong with you and what you do, and that you’re never good enough. The gaslighter does this to gain power over you and rule over you whilst claiming superiorty.
They will make you feel anxious and uncertain about yourself
When you’re in contact with a gaslighter, they will frequently make you feel anxious and uncertain about yourself. You would become wary of your behavior, you wouldn’t know what is expected of you and constantly be in fear of when the gaslighter will act up again. You will start questioning your self worth and if you’re good enough in a relationship or if you’re a good employee.
Expressing yourself will become difficult
While in a relationship with a gaslighter, you would be scared to express yourself openly. You’ll feel anything you do or say will go against you and cause problems in your relationship or at workplace. During the presence of the gaslighter, you will constantly feel anxious and tensed and tend to remain quiet as to not stir up a fight. You will constantly feel the need to correct yourself and take conscious decisions just so you don’t upset the gaslighter.
The gaslighter will rarely admit their own flaws
While accusing you of your shortcomings and making you see flaws in yourself, the gaslighter will rarely admit their own mistakes. If they are criticized and shown their true colors, this in turn will cause them to make excuses, blame you or show displeasure and anger towards you.
Through this tactic, the gaslighter is able to take the focus off themselves and turn the tables on you.
You will begin to re-evaluate and criticize yourself
Whatever the gaslighter says negatively about you will begin to seem true to you and you will constantly start to re-evaluate your self worth and criticize yourself. Additionally, you will also begin to apologize for mistakes you have not made.
You will seek the gaslighter’s validation everytime
Despite being poorly treated, you will seek the gaslighter’s praise, approval and validation. They will start to being codependent on the gaslighter for almost everything. In a a gaslighting relationship, the gaslighter has the power to grant acceptance, approval, respect, safety, and security.
You begin to cover up for the gaslighter’s mistakes
When concerned family and friends ask about your well being, you start putting up a brave face and try to cover up for the gaslighter. You start to feel powerless and in control of the gaslighter while feeling a sense of responsibilty to protect them.
You feel stuck and alone
Oftern victims of gaslighters feel stuck and alone as they feel they have no one to talk to while isolating themselves. Many victims know they deserve much better but still remain silent in such situations.
Yalghaar is on the verge of release. The film is Pakistan’s most expensive film till date and flaunts a stellar cast including Shaan Shahid, Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Bilal Ashraf, Ayesha Omer, Armeena Rana Khan among others. The film is slated to release on Eid.
But everyone got suspicious when the lead star of the movie Shaan Shahid didn’t show up at the trailer launch. As far as things have progressed Shaan is keeping himself distant from the promotional events of his own film.
The tension arose more when he didn’t even show up at the premiere of the movie. An unknown injury was told to be the cause of his absentee from trailer launch and no explanation has been given for the premiere one.
Moreover director of the film Dr. Hassan Waqar Rana introduced every actor of his film on stage. And whom did he forget? Yes you guessed right! Shaan Shahid the lead actor. A reporter had to remind him of his slip about introducing the actor.
No one is commenting on anything as the film is about to release. We wish all goes well with Yalghaar.

She has recently appeared in her second drama “Bharaas” which is currently on air on ARY Digital. Born and raised in Lahore Dur-e-Fishan is the eldest of four siblings. She is the daughter of Saleem ul Hassan who is a former PTV producer/director.

In the show, Dur-e-fishan was asked about her dream character. She replied, “I want to do any character that has shades, any character that just wakes up and is not happy all the day because no human is like that. I enjoy playing the characters who react and that look human and relatable to people. I try to keep things natural and that’s what I tried to do in my drama serial “Pardes”.
During the quarantine our Pakistani celebs have started off with talking to each other online, going live on social media and keeping their fans entertained.
With the same purpose, we tuned in to singer Bilal Saeed’s Instagram story and were hoping to find the singer entertaining his fans with his melodious voice, but as it happens, there was something else cooking entirely.
As it seems, Bilal’s Instagram story was dedicated to model turned actress Sabeeka Imam, where he made the revelation about the duo’s friendship and how they talked when Sabeeka was upset (which was 90% of the time they talked.)
What the singer stated implied that Sabeeka had been upset about him taking a call while talking to her.
Sabeeka then herself posted how “Bilal shouldn’t be doing such things to piss her off in the first place.”
Moving on, Bilal again questioned Sabeeka whether he would have to say sorry to her one more time.
People were intrigued and questioned Bilal about Sabeeka.
Bilal then moved on stating he would never say sorry to Sabeeka, with a fun emoji.
One fan went ahead and asked Bilal who was Sabeeka to him, to which the singer replied, why should he tell her.
Seems like there is something definitely cooking between Sabeeka Imam and Bilal Saeed. Although the two haven’t commented or said anything about it at all, we’re getting a whiff of something going on, a close friendship or a link up perhaps?
Before Bilal Saeed, Sabeeka Imam had been in a relationship with Hasnain Lehri. The duo called it quits on a public platform, breaking their fans’ hearts.

He also addressed how stars get divorced as soon as they become famous. He added sometimes the famous person becomes a scapegoat but people forget how expectations from him also changed. Plus there are new interactions and environment around you and the pressure results in such decisions. This is what he has seen around him.

A weapon is something that can be used in defense or offense to someone. It is wise for everyone to keep some kind of weapon in case they need to use it. Sanam Jung has always promoted women to take stand for themselves and stand tall. In the video below she tells what exactly she believes is a woman’s best weapon. What are your guesses?
A lot of people disagree with this weapon choice but no one can argue on how deadly it is. Let us give you a little more insight of the video below…it talks about 2 weapons. Watch it below and tell us which one do you thinki is more deadlier? Or do you have any other in mind?
Rabia Butt as successful as she is in her professional life, has gone through so much in her personal life. She has gone through the tragedy of her mother’s death and losing a parent could be very devastating. It leads people to go in depression and addiction just to get rid of that pain. One’s inside is shattered so much that the person loses the will to live.
Moving on from the parent’s death is the most difficult thing a person could ever do. Most of the time people are unable to move past that tragedy, they just learn to live with the pain and suffering.
Rabia shared that after she lost her mother she came to know how much she loved her. She said that “Muhabbat” is when you love a person but “Ishq” is when you love the person that your lover loves. She says that since her mother’s death i.e. almost eight years, she has dedicated her whole life for the people her mother used to love; her father, her sisters.

Ohkay on this website, we have an influx of those regular readers who reside outside Pakistan, so I thought of coming up with an article to which most of them in fact all of them can relate. :)
I think the excitement of visiting Pakistan every single time is beyond explainable. No matter where you live, no matter how much settled you are in your routine, the vacation to Pakistan is the most anticipated thing & worth the wait. I myself always look forward to visiting Pakistan no matter what the time span of my stay is but by the end I always feel that you just can’t get enough of your homeland.
Here’s a list of some of the perks of visiting Pakistan, every single time: :)
The Dose of Urdu:
I must say this fact brings a smile to my face that the moment I step into Pakistan, I get to hear my mother tongue in my surroundings. I think nothing beats the connection you feel the moment you hear Urdu all around you. No matter where you go, the relation & the bonding you feel with the people who share the same language as you is unexplainably appeasing.
Good Old Family:
For me, the best part about visiting Pakistan is meeting the grandparents & all the elders of your family, in fact the whole bunch of relatives. The peace & happiness that you feel after meeting your people, after seeing those familiar faces eradicates all the hassle of travelling. Nothing beats the warm welcome that you experience the moment you meet your family.
Shopping Till You’re Dropping:
Not sure about the gents but for the ladies, hands down, this has to be the best perk of visiting Pakistan. Discussions on the latest trends, the designers & all those shopping trips are the best part of the the whole journey. I mean who doesn’t like stocking up the apparels for your new wardrobe? Coming to Pakistan & not to shop till you drop is something impossible. I enjoy my fair share of those bargains with the ‘Pathan’ vendors, I must say they do come up with all sorts of tricky taglines to sell the fabric, which you can never think of & yes, the most important aspect of the trip to Pakistan is the regular trips to the family tailor, lol.
Cravings of Pakistani Food:
Ohkay, we know, we all have that one specific dhabba that we all want to visit before leaving Pakistan. I make sure I compile a list of the places that I want to visit & the food I want to eat because there are plenty of places that have helped in spoiling our taste buds. No matter where you eat, nothing beats Pakistani food & especially the food of those road-side stalls is to die for.
The Weddings:
No matter what time of the year it is when you visit Pakistan, you always get to attend the wedding functions during your stay. All those vibrant colors, the long discussion, everything related to the festivity is something to look forward to & luckily if the wedding that you get to attend is of the immediate family member then the excitement is sky-high.
The Night Long Discussions:
Who doesn’t do it? The best part of visiting your family is staying up till late hours of the night just so you talk about everything that has been happening in & around your life. I look forward to these sort of sessions with my cousins the most & I think everyone does it because those discussions are the best way of unwinding with your people.
Mini Trips:
That’s like taking a mini vacation within your vacation. Those short trips that you tend you plan with all the families of your immediate relatives are the most memorable moments of the whole trip. My ancestral home happens to be in Murree so for me, visiting Murree is a compulsory part of every trip that I make to Pakistan. All those gatherings & outings are something worth planning so as to experience a wholesome vacation & not to be forgotten the late-night outings with a bunch of cousins to settle the food cravings are another highlight of your stay.
Remembering The Routes:
Remembering the routes to everywhere you go. Remembering all the places, all the markets, all the roads, ways, even the sign boards has to be the best thing about being in your place & then all of a sudden you realize, things might’ve changed but a lot of them didn’t. I totally enjoy how the whole map is sketched into your memory & helps you in remembering everything related to the journeys you’ve taken on these roads.
So, this was my little dedication to the awesome trips we make to our country; our Pakistan. Share what you felt about the article, what you guys look forward to the most when you’re planning your trip & what does your to-do list comprise of? :)
