Saif Ali Khan is an emerging media star, software engineer, and amateur singer who recently rose to fame after appearing on ARY Digital’s reality show Tamasha. He gained popularity soon after his introduction in the first episode of Tamasha 4. Saif Ali Khan faced tough competition in the Tamasha house and eventually emerged as the winner. He received immense praise and a significant social media following.
Saif Ali Khan recently gave an interview to Sunday Times, where he opened up about the tough days he spent in the Tamasha house. He also briefly talked about his fight with his best friend, Kanwal.
Talking about his Tamasha days, he said, “I didn’t expect that I would gain so much popularity through it. If people think that we knew what was happening outside the house, it’s not true — we had no idea. We didn’t know the time; we were getting very little food. I lost 9 kg, which means we were given a very small quantity of food. I had no idea what was happening in the world. In the house, I made friends, and with those who weren’t becoming friends, I took a stand against them. We fought because we were frustrated. After spending 60 days there, a point came where conflicts happened. There was also bullying in the house.”
Talking about his fight with Kanwal, he said, “I didn’t want to fight. I’m genuinely a friendly person with my friends — I don’t argue with them. I had to maintain strictness in the house, which led to the conflict, but everything is fine now. We fought as part of the game; there are no personal issues. Everything is fine between all the contestants now.”

Today, Javeria Saud appeared on Madeha Naqvi’s morning show Subh Ka Samaa, which airs on Samaa TV. During the show, she talked about a major red flag that can indicate a cheating husband.
Talking about it, she said, “If married couples seem perfect in real life, or if a husband takes too much care of his wife—expresses excessive love, provides everything before she even asks—it often means there’s an extramarital affair behind it. He might be spending so much money as compensation so that his wife doesn’t pay attention to his outside affairs. This happens with many ordinary people I know. Whenever there’s too much perfection, there’s usually something fishy. Even when my husband suddenly behaves very sweetly, I ask him what’s behind it—because there’s always some reason for his good behavior. Otherwise, he’s just normal.” Here is the link to the video:

Meri Bahuain is a drama airing on Hum TV. The show has gained massive popularity for its masala content. The saas-bahu themes incorporated with some shocking elements are getting the show big numbers on TRP charts and YouTube views. The show has a big track going on about Fabiha’s mother welcoming a child in her 40s. This track was also heavily sensationalized by the drama makers.
Meri Bahuain finally saw Fabiha’s mother give birth. The delivery scene was pretty dramatic and something which is usually avoided on Pakistani television. The lady has pains and she is transferred to the hospital. She gave birth to a boy and Fabiha is informed about her brother being born.

Sanam Saeed is an actress whom people have loved since her debut. She has done some very impactful characters in her career. The starlet was not working on television and she recently made a comeback with Main Manto Nahi Hoon. She played Mariya Chauhan who was amongst a handful of characters who were loved throughout the show. Sanam has now shared a BTS and fans are loving it.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon became shrouded in controversy as the love story between a teacher and student was too unpalatable for fans. No one wanted to see Manto and Mehmal together. Mehmal was shipped far more with the villain of the dama Farhad than she was with Manto Sir. Everyone wanted to see Sanam Saeed and Humayun Saeed together.
Sanam Saeed has now shared a fun BTS which fans wanted to see as an ending.
Sanam Saeed shared a fun clip where Sir Manto accepts Miss Mariya’s love and puts a ring on her finger. This is the alternate ending which Main Manto Nahi Hoon fans wanted:

Sania Saeed is a senior Pakistani television actress known for her versatile acting and powerful performances. She began her career in the late 1980s with theatre. Her notable dramas are Aahat, Sitara Aur Mehrunissa, Zaibunnissa, Sang e Mar Mar, Sang e Mah, Ae Dil and others.
Recently, Sania Saeed appeared in Faces of Pakistan’s podcast, hosted by Aftab. In the podcast, she opened up about elderly women of industry, financial independence and relationships.
Talking about elder women stories, she said, “We have very few stories written for elderly women because this reflects our society and how women are perceived. Women are often seen merely as child-bearing objects — they’re objectified. For many, a woman is only considered attractive in her youth because it’s the time when she is “Sellable”. That’s why they don’t want to tell the story of a 35-year-old woman. There’s a problematic attitude toward women — they want her to retire at 35, when in reality, her story begins after that age. I’ve also never played my own age in my career. Even in my youth, I was made to play a mother’s role.”
Talking about the relationship between men and women and gender roles, she said, “Communication is the major issue — the lack of communication and interaction between men and women causes most of the problems. We were in Australia attending a festival — people were dancing and everyone was having fun. A friend asked me, ‘You always say there should be a friendly, constructive environment between men and women — what does that mean?’ I pointed to the festival and said, ‘This is what I mean. There are cultural norms here: you can’t touch anyone; even if a girl falls, you can’t touch her till the ambulance arrives. These norms are shaped by culture. You don’t invade others’ privacy or interfere while they’re doing their job. Let them be, let them have fun, and just be yourself.”
Talking about financial independence, she said, “Economic independence is very important for women — there’s no question about it. It means that women should have a talent or skill that can be monetized. When you look at the structure and fabric of society, decision-making power stems from financial independence. In the case of an accident or any mishap, a financially independent woman can stand on her own. But when she is dependent, the power to make decisions slips from her hands — she can’t even make choices for her own children. Economic independence brings knowledge and decision-making power because when you go out and meet people, you learn and grow. Women are complete, functioning human beings with abilities that need to be utilized — but instead, we keep them confined at home and because of this many women outside are facing problems, like on Afghanistan, there are no female doctors to serve.”
Aamina Sheikh is a renowned Pakistani actress who is celebrated for her powerful performances in dramas like Maat, Pakeeza, Umme Kulsoom, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, Uraan, and Daam. After her divorce from actor Mohib Mirza, she took a seven-year break from the media industry and moved abroad along with her daughter Missa. During her time away, she focused on her personal life and later remarried. Recently, she made a much-awaited comeback with the drama Case No. 9. Fans are applauding her return and praising her acting.
Recently, Amina Sheikh made an appearance in Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show where she talked about her personal life in detail.
Talking about it, Amina Sheikh said, “I have revealed all the reasons behind quitting acting. I went through a major transition in my personal life. Yes, divorce was a major reason — my marriage didn’t work out. I had a baby in my arms and needed time to recover from everything. I also had opportunities abroad; I am a U.S. citizen, my daughter is a citizen, and my family was already settled there, so moving to the U.S. was a convenient option. My personal life was deeply connected to the media industry, which is why I needed a complete break from it. So much drama and toxicity were happening around me that I couldn’t process. I had to protect my baby while nursing her, so I went to the U.S. for a while. My family supported me immensely — they helped me restructure my thoughts and realize that I had lost so much time, and it was time to take action and rebuild myself. With their support, I found my own space. Later, I moved to Dubai, where I was introduced to Umer. Our families were involved, and things went smoothly. It was my parents’ guidance and involvement that made it an intentional and practical decision — not an impulsive one.”
Talking about keeping her family private, Amina Sheikh said, “I don’t want to expose my family for my own instant gratification or social media kick. Because of the nature of my career, I’m not just another mom proudly posting about her child. I come from a different realm — my audience isn’t just fellow school mothers; there’s a whole drama attached, and people know my journey. My path has been very different from other mothers, and that’s fine — they have their own lives. But I choose not to post about my child. I also don’t have any private social media handles. It’s risky, and I’m simply not inclined toward that.”

Talking about it, Marina Khan said, “Talha has to be very careful now because his Punjabi accent was quite strong this time. I mean, it could be felt in his dialogues when he was talking to Laila in anger and emotions because that’s when he has lost control over his Urdu accent. He should avoid speaking in Punjabi style especially when the makers have shown an Urdu speaking family. The way he was saying Leyla Leyla in a Punjabi style, it didn’t sit well with me” Here is the link to the video from Kya Drama Hai’s drama review:
This is Talha Chahour’s scene from Jama Taqseem on which Marina Khan hinted at:

I’m embarrassed because I spoke too emotionally. I have no right to decide who goes to Jannat or Jahannum — that’s Allah’s job. It was important for me to correct myself because I influence many young people, and I don’t want to send out a wrong message regarding Deen.” Here is the link to the video:

The city is in shambles, something you will not witness in Punjab or anywhere else.
Here is what he said:

Mahira Khan was also very vocal for Pakistan. The political tension lingers and Mahira came under criticism for publicly wishing SRK.

I have previously judged Battle of the Bands, and I’ve always felt that such shows are a wonderful source of entertainment, where you can sit back and enjoy the performances of talented artists from all across Pakistan. I wish them all the best. I feel like part of the audience when I’m sitting and enjoying their performances. The only unfortunate thing is that, in the end, there is only one winner.
