Today, the last episode of the drama serial Ghair aired on ARY Digital. The last episode ended on a haunted where Wafa forgave Salis, and they started a new life. Shifa became the second wife of her fiancé. Tehreem also apologised for all her criminal acts and wrongdoing. 

The last episode of the drama serial Ghair is garnering huge praise. Fans are satisfied with the ending of the drama. The Ghair viewers appreciated the makers for not dragging the drama for the sake of views. The writer also got praise for not glorifying divorce. A few fans are not liking Shifa’s punishment; fans think that Salis and Shifa were equally responsible for creating problems in Wafa’s life and they both deserved punishment, but Salis didn’t get any lesson while Shifa alone faced the betrayal of her husband as punishment. A few agreed to Shifa’s karma. Social media users also loved the maturity of Salis’s mother, who handled the whole situation gracefully. Fans also loved Farjaad and his secretary’s romantic track. Read the comments here:

Ghair is a drama with a lot of masala and a family storyline that has millions hooked. Ushna Shah, Usama Khan and Adeel Hussain play the leads in this Yasir Nawaz directorial and despite many loopholes, people are watching and enjoying several characters particularly of Tehzeeb phupho played by Saba Hameed. Wafa played by Ushna Shah is however not too impressive as of yet.

Ghair fans were happy to see Wafa and Salis develop a bond but it looks like things will deteriorate. Wafa is once again going to play the sacrificial lamb and a victim and she will try to remove herself from the path of Salis and Shifa. The new promo has sparked a lot of debate around Wafa’s arc.

Here is the promo:

This is how Ghair fans are disappointed in Wafa:

Ghair starring Ushna Shah, Usama Khan and Adeel Hussain has been going on with good ratings and views. The drama is a full masala family drama and it is also the first and last project of antagonist Yashmeera Jan. The love square is still working on and on and now we have another new entry into the show.

Shifa in Ghair finally was going to start a new war as she went to break off her engagement but she ended up liking the guy played by Omer Shahzad as he is powerful and rich. Shifa’s change of expressions and change of heart has entertained the audience.

Many Ghair fans do not want Shifa to have Sikandar while others are enjoying how greedy she is:

Ghair is a drama that is moving towards its climax. The show revolves around Salis, Wafa, Shifa and Farjad. Wafa is finally finding happiness and her own family is standing up for her. Her dad is there for her while she is getting justice. Salis on the other hand is still on the point where he started while Shifa is still threatening a suicide attempt.

Shifa is clear about her objectives while Salis is giving her hopes at the same time he is dreaming about Wafa. Fans are over the character’s indecisiveness and think Farjad is a much better option. Shifa was rude to Salis’s parents which gave him an out and he got rid of her.

Fans want Salis in Ghair to get punished for his actions as he was equally wrong:

Ghair is a drama that has all the masala people love in a script. Despite having several loopholes, it is getting viewership. Ushna Shah is the main lead Wafa who has been dragged through hell by every man in her life. Her own father Usman played by Babar Ali never supported his daughter but the tides are finally turning and Babar Ali showed his acting prowess.

Babar Ali was at his best and emoted beautifully in all the scenes. Usman finally accepts the truth about his ex-wife and his daughter and brings her back to her own home. The scenes with Babar Ali got all the traction as Ghair is moving towards the ultimate climax of the show.

This is how fans are reacting:

Ghair is a drama that has gained a lot of views and ratings since it started. It has also gotten a lot of criticism too due to the plot and the weak performances. The drama is finally moving towards the climax twist where none other than Farhan Ally Agha aka Raza Taya ends up becoming the hero and not the expected Salis or Farjaad.

Farhan Ally Agha is the hero of Ghair as he single handedly solved Wafa’s problems and made his brother Babar Ali realize what had actually happened. He also stood up openly against his own daughter and sister’s actions which everyone loved in an otherwise dragged story.

Fans are finding Farhan Ally Agha to be Ghair’s hero and appreciated his stance while they also appeciated Farjaad for standing up. Here is what they had to say:

Ghair is a drama that fans have had mixed feelings about. The show had many ups and downs and the main character Wafa has been crying and being a victim since Day 1. Wafa played by Ushna Shah is the main character who carries the story forward. Everyone is giving her pain and she is accepting the pressure over and over again.

Wafa is now for some reason more affected by Shifa’s suicide then Salis. She ended up being the bad guy and announced that she wants a divorce from Salis as she is over him now. She also became the one in the wrong in front of Salis’s father who accepted her as a daughter.

Fans are calling out Wafa’s angelic behaviour and no one is impressed by how she plays the victim and keep sacrificing for wrong people. Here is what the public thinks:

Ghair directed by Yasir Nawaz has a huge ensemble cast. It is a typical family story with twists and turns. Ushan Shah plays Wafa and Usama Khan plays Salis, the two characters are the one leading the show right now as powers on the other side try to tear them apart. Wafa is innocent and borderline naive while Salis is a carless guy at the root of everything else that he is. His parents are however great for Wafa and that is why Wafa wants to stay in the family.

Salis is now noticing how sweet Wafa is and how she loves his mother. He is slowly falling for her and Ghair fans think Salis will soon fall in love with Wafa. Shifa and Tehreem on the oher hand are executing their plot and not backing down.

This is what Ghair fans think about Wafa and Salis’s changing equation:

Ghair is a drama running on ARY Digital with Ushna Shah, Usama Khan and Adeel Hussain in the cast. The show also has a huge supporting cast with Saba Hameed playing the most important character Tehzeeb. The show revolves around people who are falling in and out of love with the themes of wrong accusations running in the background.

Saba Hameed was a force when she played Noor Jahan and fans fell in love with her all over again. She is now back in Ghair but in a totally opposite avatar. She is a loving mother-in-law and aunt in Ghair and she is going to take a stand for Wafa, something which her own father did not do. She is soft spoken and she is going to be the anchor that Wafa needed in her life. Here is the scene that is making everyone fall in love with Saba Hameed from Ghair:

Fans are showing a lot of love for Saba Hameed in a drama that is getting criticized overall for weak performances:

Ghair is a drama that is slowly picking up pace and people are liking the complicated mess that the relationships are in this drama. Ushna Shah, Usama Khan, Adeel Hussain and Yashmeera Jaan are stuck in a rectangle of love and no specific direction is visible for now. Ushna Shah is playing the lead with the whole story revolving around Wafa and accusations she is facing similar to what happened to her mother years before.

Ushna is a brilliant actress and she has proved it time and again with shows like Balaa, Alif Allah Aur Insaan and Habs but this time something is missing. Wafa’s styling for example takes a lot away from her character as she should not be in perfect curls all the time when her life has been turned upside down. Moreover the expressions remind public of her Bashar Momin era.

Ghair fans are not too happy with Ushna’s performance and she has been criticized in an otherwise good drama:

Ghair is a new drama that has just replaced the blockbuster Noor Jahan. The show has a huge cast with many big names attached to it. Ushna Shah, Adeel Hussain, Usama Khan, Saba Hameed, Waseem Abbas, Babar Ali, Arjumand Rahim, Aijaz Aslam, Yashmeera Jan, Madiha Iftikhar and Fahima Awan are some of the names the audience will see acting in Ghair. The first episode introduced all the characters and gave a synopsis of the plot.

The first episode introduced the main characters and everyone has anger issues in this show. Ushna Shah is playing the main lead who will get entangled in all the hate coming from the past of her mother who died in the very first episode. Age of the actors is not matching with their characters for now but things could look settled in the coming weeks.

Viewers are a bit confused by too many tracks and especially the casting choices as Farhan Ally Agha who is playing Adeel Hussain’s father is just 3 years older than him. Same goes for Aijaz Aslam and Arjumand Rahim playing parents to Ushna Shah. This is what the internet thought of Ghair Episode 1 :

Ghair is an ARY Digital prime time drama serial, written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Yasir Nawaz Baloch.The drama serial is produced by Six Sigma Plus. The story of the drama serial Ghair revolves around a toxic male partner who doubts his wife and tarnishes her character in front of others. The main lead characters are played by Ushna Shah, Adeel Hussain and Usama Khan.

However, they were of the view that the drama was unnecessarily stretched by the channel for no reason. They said that they had to wait a lot to see the happy ending of Hamza and Raniya which could have been given before. A few fans wanted more episodes for Hamza and Raniya’s scenes. A fan wished for Naila Begum’s punishment who was an evil character in Hamza and Raniya’s love story. Many fans were of the view that the drama had a boring and typical storyline that didn’t appeal to the masses. Viewers also pointed out a few mistakes in the drama. Fans didn’t like the unnecessary flashbacks in the last episode. Read the comments that came under the last episode link:

The electrifying Dil Banjara duo, (Sanam Saeed and Adan Malik) is yet to make another magical appearance on your screens with the movie Cake The Film, featuring a star studded cast including Aamina Sheikh, Mohammed Ahmed, Beo Rana Zafar and Faris Khalid. Already the name of the British -Pakistani movie has people mystified and aroused with curiosity about the plot-line and story; it has been said to be titled as cake because of the layers that are comprised within the story, and we certainly can’t wait to see it! Here are some behind-the-screen shots that lately popped up on social media regarding the making of the movie:

Doesn’t Sanam look classy in this outfit? We can’t get over her candid poses! But take a look at Adnan below:

We certainly can’t guess what R stands for but we are sure impatient to find out! Also,  knowing Adnan Malik it can’t be anything bad, right?

Here’s a shot of Amina Sheikh from the sets:

Amina Sheikh’s projects and characters are almost always an exciting prospect to look forward to and her being part of the cast is one guarantee that this movie is definitely going to be a worthwhile watch.

Are you excited about the movie? What are your thoughts on it? Let us know!

Shaan Shahid and Reema Khan stated their careers with the film Bulandi which was not only a hit at that time but also successfully launched the two biggest stars of the Pakistani film industry. They have since been loved individually as well as an on-screen couple and people love to watch these two together.

Well, then good news for the fans is that the couple is all set to be back together on the silver screen too. Shaan Shahid has announced the breaking news on his Instagram where both the stars are standing in a still from the Nestle campaign and the caption says 2020. So, the Bulandi Jodi will be back after so many years and this will be a romantic movie this time again which we will get to watch next year.

Geo Kahani is the secondary entertainment channel of Geo Network, where the primary entertainment channel is Geo Entertainment. Geo Kahani mostly aired the foreign content comprising of Indian and Turkish dramas. But from October 2016 the PEMRA has enforced its guidelines which limits the airing of foreign content. Since then Geo Kahani is mostly airing reruns of dramas already telecast on Geo Entertainment.

From mid April Geo Kahani is starting few new dramas and Naagin is one of them. The drama is based on Hindu Mythology of Sheesh Naag and Naagin, which is a snake who can convert as a human too.

The promos of Ge Kahani’s Naagin are released last month and have been widely discussed on social media. An Indian drama Naagin was also telecast by another channel Filmazia Entertainment till October 2016 and Geo Kahani’s Naagin is criticized for copying the concept from the same drama.

While Geo Kahani’s Nagin has been discussed in Pakistan, the trailer of this drama has also caught the attention of our neighboring country India.

Here is a clipping from an Indian channel about Geo Kahani’s Naagin. So even before its airing, Geo Kahani Naagin’s hiss is being heard in Indian media.

The director of this drama Iftikhar Iffi has also posted this on his FB page

A few fans are of the view that the Holy month of Ramadan should only be fixed for Worship (Ibadat) and not for the romantic dramas:

Fans are happy with the massive success of the show and believe that Ali Ansari and Laiba Khan’s chemistry is the secret behind the achievement:

Geo TV is the biggest media house of Pakistan and perhaps the most powerful too. With great power comes great responsibility and to fulfill this responsibility as per Geo TV and Jang publications they have already contributed too much. The tale of their greatest sacrifices and untiring contributions is already published many times and also aired on their channels too. Still not satisfied with it, they want to take further initiatives.

Another such initiative is special one hour transmission on an extremely important issue. Geo TV has dedicated one hour daily from 9PM – 10PM to an issue which they consider of utter importance. Yes Geo TV has dedicated this one hour to dramas covering couples having issues of marriage or shaadi. In simple words this time can be called as ‘shaadi hour’ of Geo.

But does it mean, that Geo TV is allocating rest of the time for programs other than shaadi. A glance at their programs tells Geo is already airing too much stuff related to weddings. Not even wedding there are plenty of  plays covering divorces and halala, plus their recently halted morning show was like a wedding hall which also started the trend of remarrying already married couples. So is this one hour initiative is just another hoax as wedding and its issues are already aired 10-14 hours in a day on Geo TV.

Lets hope Geo TV limits this initiative only to weddings, how unpleasant it will be to hear about one  hour specially dedicated to further issues related to wedding like an hour for divorce or ‘talaq hour’ or some other hour. Though anything is expected from this channel for the sake of publicity by looking at their past and recent practices and trends.

P.S. This whole post is a light satire on this advertisement aired by Geo TV, please do not take it seriously.

Thanks for tolerating.
