The popular pret-wear brand Sapphire offered a flat 50 per cent off sale in its outlets all across Pakistan. The brand has been announcing such sales from time and again, which have definitely been causing frenzy for ladies around the country. Previously, in 2015, we witness a huge cat fight between two ladies over a piece of dress. So, we expected no less this year.
The midsummer sale hit early morning today. But prior to previous years, there was discipline and no useless fights. However, the queues that could be noticed outside the outlets were unfathomable. Here are some videos from malls around the Pakistan, showcasing what was happening at the sale today!
And, another one with the never lasting line of eager ladies waiting for their turn to grab clothes:
A post shared by DIVA Magazine Pakistan (@divamagazinepakistan) on
Sapphire sale had caused an utter chaos throughout Pakistan. Not only did women waited for hours to buy, but they actually bought clusters of clothes. Women could be seen grabbing dozen pieces together at once. What a day to shop!
Two Pakistani girls, Zoya Khan and sister Zara Khan beat up a man, after he harassed one of them on Tariq Road, Karachi.
Sexual harassment or molestation is very common in Pakistan at public places, be it roads or events. But what these girls did is a lesson for everyone out there. Instead of staying quiet, these girls taught him a lesson and shared it with the world.
A video of Zoya and Zara, sharing the whole situation has gone viral on social media. In the video, elder sister Zoya said, “I started screaming once he groped me but was unable to do anything as i was carrying a number of shopping bags in my hand but my sister, threw everything and ran after the man.”
“When i followed my sister to where the man was, i was shocked and surprised. There was a crowd of more than 30 people surrounding the molester and all of them were beating him along with my sister.”
These girls took a step against women violence and harassment. They are surely an inspiration and motivation to all those innocents who are victims. Vigilante justice is somehow the only way left in our society, owing to lack of woman safety.

Sahir Lodhi’s Raasta released on March 31st and opened to negative reviews. The film, made on a budget of Rs 85 million, only managed to collect a sum of Rs 2 million on the first day of its release.
Many popular bloggers reviewed Raasta and mostly gave negative reviews. However, Sahir Lodhi feels that the bloggers labeled the whole nation. At a press conference, Sahir spoke about the matter and stressed upon the comments which stated: ‘Sahir is a cheap actor and has cheap fans.’ The comments apparently didn’t go well with Sahir, and he decided to hit back at the bloggers.
He questioned the individuals and asked who gave them the right to differentiate between the audiences. He said, “I am standing with the people of Pakistan.” He further asked, “How can you call them cheap.”
Here’s what he has to say.
Earlier this month, Sahir also appeared live with comedian Junaid Akram, who feels that the reviews he read were more like a personal hate frustration. He also shared that he’s uncertain to why Sahir always receives hate from the audiences. Apparently, the bloggers who reviewed Raasta also stated: “If you watch Raasta, you’ll be judged.”
We all had seen the first look of Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Urdu poet “Saadat Hasan Manto” for Indian biopic of Nandita Das’s directorial debut “Manto”. Nandita has now released a short film and is giving a sneak peek of the film to the world.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is no doubt an amazing actors and he nails every role that comes his way, but we didn’t knew that he’d be so good as Manto. He seems to have totally mastered the language’s dialect and fluidity of his speech is incredible. We’re sure you’ll be left in awe of Nawaz’s effortless acting. Moreover, he is rocking Manto’s unruly hair and geeky spectacles too.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has surely raised our expectations with this amazing short video.
With his good looks and inimitable charm, Fawad Khan has a massive female following in India. He might not work in India again, but B-town celebrities can’t stop gushing over our heartthrob. And Karan Johar is all praises for Fawad Khan.
During his media discussion session at London School of Economics, when asked if he would work with Pakistani artists again, here’s what he said:
“I think some of the most exceptional talent comes from Pakistan. And I had the honour and pleasure to actually direct Fawad Khan. I have seen his exceptional work, and it was immensely brave of him to did what he did in Kapoor and Sons. I think after 6 actors had said no to that role, it was tremendously courageous of him to say yes. I wish that our cinema and cinema, in general, could be exposed to such enormous talent like Fawad Khan.”

Fawad Khan has worked with Karan Johar in two of his production ventures. Fawad did both Kapoor And Sons and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, back to back. He was also slated to do another film, titled Raat Baaki with Katrina Kaif. However, it might never happen due to the ongoing ban on Pakistani artists.

Sahir Lodhi, the self acclaimed Shahrukh Khan of our industry makes sure he remains in the news for one reason or the other. He is unprecedented in doing the oddest of antics on every public platform that he gets the chance to grace.
Last week on The Sahir Lodhi Show, he had invited the cast of Chain Aye Na and it was kind of a promotional show with clips from the movie and its songs.
To end it all, there was a dancing segment at the conclusion of the show. The guests of the show especially Behroz Sabzwari were dancing enthusiastically, when Sahir suddenly realised that it is his very own one man show and he just cannot let anyone.. anyone at all steal the stage. So hyper he goes, dancing wildly in the centre of all the people. His steps would put Nargis to shame. So much so that the other guests were kind of intimidated by this over the top performance and their moves become slower and slower as they gaped at Sahir of The Sahir Lodhi Show dancing on Afghan Jalebi song.
In case you have not had anything hilarious happening this Saturday, we present to you Sahir Lodhi ;

Wasim Akram is one of the biggest legends of Pakistani and World cricket. His bowling is legendary and he is loved for how he always remained consistent and made records in his decades long career.
Wasim Akram is performing Hajj this year and his video from a component called Rami Jamarat. He was swinging stones at the Jamarat (Shaitan) and his video is now going viral.
The internet is not too impressed with this action. One user wrote, “This is Hajj and not a fun activity.” Another added, “These people film everything and put it on the internet.” One said, “They consider everything to be a televised event.” Here is the reaction:
Wasim Akram is one of the most successful cricketing stars to come out of Pakistan. His legendary records and later on his media presence and handling is what has made him a legend in the eyes of cricket fans. He is a well-known analyst and commentator now and he has the most honest opinions whenever he sits down for an interview.
There have been a lot of talk around Pakistani cricketers losing their fitness level. Many of our cricketers did not look fit during the World Cup and Azam Khan was specifically targeted online. Wasim Akram has now shared his thoughts on the dismal fitness situation.
Wasim said that he was aware that cricketers were not focusing on fitness way before people noticed it in the World Cup. He did not want to say anything and the world later saw what happened on the field. Here is what he had to say:
He also spoke about how he thought that there will be so much knowledge after the advent of social media and people will be super positive towards one another but that is not what happened. People have become really negative and there is a lot of hate and trolling that goes on the internet which is quite opposite to what he thought social media would bring.
In the world of cricket, Wasim Akram is a legend. On his 50th birthday, he collaborated with Junaid Jamshed’s lifestyle brand, J. Fragrances to launch a perfume named 414 (the number of test wickets he has taken in 104 matches).
Mohammed Ali Mufti, the head of sales and marketing at J. Fragrances, raved about the legend, ”Wasim Akram is the the highest wicket taker in test cricket for Pakistan, having taken 414 wickets in 104 matches; We thought it would make for the perfect name for the perfume. He is a legend in all aspects — He’s a great sportsman but has also maintained the image of a responsible family man and that’s why we decided to pay tribute to him in this way.”
Many cricket stars including Imran Khan, Shahid Afridi, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Jacques Kallis sent their kind wishes to Wasim Akram.
The grand launch was a star-studded event held in Pearl Continental Hotel, Karachi on 4th June 2016. Bushra Ansari was the host.

Wasim Akram is a vocal celebrity who often expresses his views about unnecessary social media trolling.
Recently, he has made an appearance in Ayesha Omar’s talk show for the channel 365 News. In the show Wasim Akram has given an advice to the social media users who give useless advice to the successful celebrities.
Replying to Ayesha Omar’s question about people giving advice, Wasim Akram said, “Please stop giving advice to others, I request you. It looks so strange when people offer advice to the most successful and famous people in the world, who already have millions of followers, while those giving the advice have hardly two followers. Instead, spread happiness and positivity. Even if you don’t like someone, just say something positive—it will bring relaxation, motivation, and peace to your life”Here is the link to the video:
Wasim Akram is the legendary cricketer of Pakistan. He is considered the best bowler in the world as well as Sultan of Swing. He has also crushed it as a cricket commentator. He is loved for his fun personality and statements that actually explain cricket. The star was a guest on Hasna Mana Hai and he shared a hilarious incident which made him realize how standards for stardom have changed.
Wasim Akram shared an incident and Tabish Hashmi also added to it. Tabish revealed that they were in Sharjah Stadium for an event and Tabish was hosting. He called Wasim Akram on stage and he was very enthusiastic as he is such a legend. The crowd also applauded him but Tabish did not feel the enthusiasm from the crowd that he was expecting. But then he called on a TikToker Mr Patlu and the whole crows erupted.
This also shocked Wasim Akram. Wasim hilariously shared that they were both standing behind when the TikToker came on and discussing what is wrong with people making anyone famous nowadays. He added that he knows content creation is a difficult job and making TikToks also demands hardwork.
There are not many people in this world who have found success in every field they have decided to venture in but Imran Khan has always managed to do the impossible. He managed to become the greatest of all time in cricket. Later on he jumped into philanthropy and managed to achieve the impossible. Imran Khan established a cancer hospital in Pakistan where people can get free treatment and named it after his late mother. Today we have three Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospitals in Lahore, Peshawar and a new one in Karachi which will be opened soon.
Wasim Akram is an old friend and team mate of Imran Khan. The two have played many great knocks for Pakistan including the win in World Cup. Wasim Akram has also been very supportive for Imran Khan throughout his life in every challenge the later has taken up.

Wasim also shared that all the Bollywood starlets of the era used to have a crush on Imran and they would watch with envy.
Listen to Wasim Akram’s tales of time spent with Imran Khan:
Wasim Akram is a legendary cricketer. He is one of the biggest stars in cricket that have come out of Pakistan. His understanding of cricket and his classy bowling put him in a great place in the world of cricket. After making a huge impact as a bowler, Wasim Akram went on to become a coach and a big name in commentary.
Wasim Akram has now presented his biography Sultan A Memoir and he has revealed some stunning facts about his life which are not easy to accept and comprehend. Wasim Akram has revealed that he actually became addicted to cocaine after is cricketing career was over.
Some excerpts have come out of from his book where he shared that he became addicted cocaine and partying all day and every day after he retired in 2003. It became bad enough that he started depending on it. He even did a stint in rehab which was really bad and did not really help him. He credited his late wife Huma who actually said to him that he needed help and went on to become the reason that he pulled himself out of this mess.
Wasim revealed:
I liked to indulge myself; I liked to party. The culture of fame in south Asia is all-consuming, seductive, and corrupting. You can go to ten parties a night, and some do. And it took its toll on me. My devices turned into vices. Worst of all, I developed a cocaine dependence. It started innocuously enough when I was offered a line at a party in England; my use grew steadily more serious, to the point that I felt I needed it to function,
He said that Huma on finding out said that he needed treatment. He further added:
It made me agitated. It caused me to be deceitful. I know Huma was often lonely during this time… she talked of wanting to move to Karachi to be closer to her parents and siblings. I was hesitant. Why? Partly because I like coming to Karachi on my own and pretending it was working when it was really about partying for days on end. Huma eventually found me out, discovering a packet of cocaine in my wallet . . . ‘You need help.’ I agreed. It was getting out of hand. I couldn’t control it. One line would become two; two would become four; four would become a gram, and a gram would become two. I could not sleep. I could not eat. I grew inattentive to my diabetes, which caused me headaches and mood swings. Like many addicts, part of me welcomed discovery: the secrecy had been exhausting.
Wasim has also added that it was the fame he had before that pushed him to this:
Try as I might, part of me was still smoldering inside about the indignity of what I’d been put through. My pride was hurt, and the lure of my lifestyle remained. I briefly contemplated divorce. I settled for heading to the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy where, out from Huma’s daily scrutiny, I started using again.
Huma later died from a rare fungal infection. This made Wasim get his act together and realize what he was doing. He credits his late wife to putting his life back on track.
Huma’s last selfless, unconscious act was curing me of my drug problem. That way of life was over, and I have never looked back.
Many criticized Wasim Akram on this information but most people commended him for his bravery:
