In the interview below you can see their amazing chemistry too, they are definitely made for each other. These two gush about how they met, got acquainted, became friends, entered a behen bhai type of relation and then got….engaged!
Yes, they tell us about their journey till Aiman Khan finally popped the big question! This is another couple that is starting to make us believe in true love and all those amazing fantasies because you can see how much they care about one another just through their words. Watch the video below to learn about their entire journey of love:
Mariyam Nafees is a gorgeous Pakistani television actress who started her career from Hum Tv drama Diyar-e-Dil as Zarminey with Osman Khalid Butt. Later on, she appeared in many other serials. Her other notable dramas are Yaqeen Ka Safar, Mohabbat Chor Di Maine and Kamzarf.
Last year, the actress got engaged to her friend Amaan. Lately, Mariyam’s wedding festivities had begun, followed by the destination wedding in Swat.
Mariyam Nafees’s Shehndi Night is happening just now. Ahmed Ali Akbar, Osman Khalid Butt, Hajra Yamin, Rushna Khan, Rabab Hashim, Mansha Pasha & Jabran Nasir are spotted in the wedding. All her friends took part in Shehndi and danced their hearts out. Osman Khalid Butt, as always, stole the show. Have a look at all the dances videos.
Yes, the crown of Morning Show Queen has been given to the pioneer of modern-day morning shows Nadia Khan while it has also been worn by the wedding weeks specialist Shaista Lodhi but when we talk about the longest reign in the morning show world, the crown belongs to Nida Yasir. Nida Yasir has been hosting Good Morning Pakistan since 2012, over a decade has passed and the show is still going strong. Love her or hate her, she will appear on your screens five days a week and she will bring all sorts of viral people, drama casts and social issue-based volunteers to your screens. But that is not how the show can run for five days a week and around 3 hours each day. That is possible mainly because of “FRIENDS OF GOOD MORNING PAKISTAN”.
So, the Freinds Of Good Morning Pakistan are stars that are regular guests on the show. You may not even be able to differentiate if it is the same show playing from last week sometimes if not for the distinction in their clothes. They are ever present and surprisingly authority on all topics from managing households to giving makeup tips. Well, I am not the one complaining as whatever they are doing is working for the show. So we would start with some “OLD FRIENDS” who have been carrying the show with Nida for ages:
1. Sadia Imam:
Sadia Imam is actually pretty good at sharing her household totkas to shopping advice. She is present nearly every alternate day on the show and is a true friend to GMP. We have also occasionally seen her husband and daughter in the show.
2. Amber Khan:
From sharing her collections of clothes and shoes to sharing weight loss tips and much more, Amber Khan is also another loyal friend to the show and we see her many times within a month.
3. Kiran Khan:
A host herself, Kiran Khan has been a friend to GMP for ages and like her sister, she is always giving tips on the kitchen, styling and interior decoration on GMP.
4. Javeria Saud:
Javeria Saud is another GMP loyalist and what she loves sharing on the platform are her wedding stories. She often brings her husband Saud Qasmi with her on the show.
5. Munazzah Arif:
Munazzah Arif has been appearing on Good Morning Pakistan for ages and she is definitely another loyalist who comes during saas-bahu discussions.
6. Nadia Hussain:
We have seen Nadia Hussain on the show so many times promoting her products, doing makeup on models and sharing beauty tips.
7. Sharmeen Ali:
Sharmeen Ali is present in all childrearing and household maintenance shows.
8. Beenish Parvez:
The makeup artist is present in many shows related to makeup and stylish. We see her nearly every week and she shares her makeup skills and tips.
We have some new additions in the Friends list as well and we have been seeing these faces in the show A Lot lately:
9. Srha Asghar:
Srha Asghar has been appearing in the show a lot lately. Many times her minimalist aesthetic does not even match the Good Morning Pakistan vibe but she is present there none the less.
10. Shazeal Shoukat:
Shazeal Shoukat appears on Good Morning Pakistan a lot and every show she appears in is mostly about weight loss.
11. Fahima Awan:
Fahima Awan has made her comeback in dramas after having a family and she is a new regular on Good Morning Pakistan and she is also seen giving advice on so many topics.
So, these are the names that you will see on Good Morning Pakistan screens every week giving advice on nearly the same topics but somehow this still works. Let us know any name you would include in the loyal “FRIENDS OF GOOD MORNING PAKISTAN” as they are the ones who keep appearing on the show over and over again and make the show a successful story!
The fate of many of the leading men and women in our dramas has been determined by the kind of friends they had. If Sara in Hamsafar did not go along with what Asher’s mother had planned for Khirad, things would be very different. Had Maham and her husband been more sincere in their friendship, the misunderstandings between Sehrish and Ehtesham in drama serial Shuk would not have occurred. If Maleeha in drama serial Daam decided to put her friendship before her own interests, had she not been jealous of her best friend who had always stood by her, Zara’s life would have been very different! Mahi’s online friend Saifee in drama serial Malal almost ruined her marriage because he wanted to get back at her. Recently in drama serial Shanakht we saw Hashim rejecting Annie’s proposal primarily because of what his friend had to say about her.
What I am trying to say is that friends do not only make a huge difference in real life but they play a pivotal role in taking the story forward in dramas as well. Not many of the leading men and women in our dramas have been lucky enough to have good friends but there are some characters who were blessed with friends who were always there for them.
Here is a list of friends in some recent dramas who played an important and positive role in the lives of the main leads.
Laila In Laa:
Daniyal’s journey would never have ended happily if he hadn’t met Laila on the train station the day he was leaving for Karachi. In the beginning the viewers kept on guessing whether Laila’s intentions were pure or not but gradually it was revealed that Laila genuinely wanted to help Daniyal because she valued his friendship. Laila was lonely and so was Daniyal therefore they understood each other. Even though Laila had feelings for Daniyal but she never tried to manipulate her way into his life. The friendship between both these characters was made even more special because of the on-screen chemistry between Mikaal Zulfiqar and Sabreen Hisbani.
Kukoo and Mrs. Khan in Pehchan:
We hardly ever get to see women characters in our dramas standing by each other through thick and thin but the three friends in Pehchan, Kukoo, Mrs. Khan and Laila had an exemplary friendship. Laila derived her strength from Kukoo and Mrs. Khan and they always gave her sound advice. Mrs. Khan helped Laila in her business and looked out for her like she was her own daughter. Kukoo’s character was one of a kind in many ways, she did not want Laila to continue fooling herself. The story wouldn’t have taken the turn which it did if it wasn’t for Kukoo. The conversations between these three friends and the settings in which these conversations were shot were definitely a treat to watch. The chemistry between Iffat Rahim, Anita Camphor and Alishba Yusef was unforgettable and the way their experiences helped shape up their personalities made their characters more relatable.
Mrs. Khan did not have the strength to break away from a marriage that was only harming her emotionally but she wanted Laila to be happy because she did not want her to end up like her after 30 years or so. Now how many of the older ladies in our dramas have such positive thinking? Barely any!
Romaissa’s Friend In Mohabbat Subha Ka Sitara Hai:
I must say that Romaissa’s conversations with her friend were few of those moments when the viewers got the chance to look at Romaissa as a living and breathing human being. Romaissa’s friend always proved to be the voice of reason and since she was the only friend which Romaissa had therefore whatever she said had a lasting effect on her. Romaissa’s friend advised her to be more confident when she was in her Khala’s house and most importantly she always asked Romaissa to stay positive after Nabeel’s death.
Ayesha In Shanakht
The actress playing the role of Annie’s friend in Shanakht may not be very convincing as far as her performance is concerned but her character has everything going for it. The main protagonist of the show Annie always turns to Ayesha for advice since Annie has just started following religious teachings strictly but Ayesha has been wearing a scarf for a long time and she also has complete support of her family. Ayesha is not only a friend in need but also one who understands Annie’s situation. Even after Annie’s mother tells her off she does not hold a grudge against Annie. Ayesha must have been an inspiration for Annie because we see Annie’s mother constantly “blaming” her for the change in Annie’s personality. A very well-balanced character with a very pleasant feel to it, Ayesha is definitely a friend in need!
Koi Nahi Apna
Koi Nahi Apna was a total wreck in all the departments, Fahad Mustafa’s performance was the only good thing about the show but he could not obviously save this sinking ship single-handedly since good dramas are a result of team effort. Apart from Fahad Mustafa the only likeable character in the play was that of Zainab who was actually Alvira’s friend but after Alvira left she supported Hamza and Shiza in all ways possible because she felt that it was the right thing to do until Alvira and Hamza got back together. Many viewers wanted to see Hamza and Zainab together but she was the one who brought Alvira and Hamza together in the end.
Salma Hassan played her character very well and the way in which she got closer to Shiza and Hamza was rather unpredictable and probably the only intelligent development in the play. Zainab definitely falls in the category of one of those friends that change the lives of our leading men and women in dramas.
Arham’s Friend In Mohabbat Ab Nahi Ho Gi
Apart from some of the most nuanced mother characters in the play, this one too has a friend which everyone would wish to have! Arham leaves for Kuwait right after getting married and Fiza is constantly complaining about every other thing, he is under stress all the time and the only person he can turn to is his friend and roommate. Without siding with either of the three ladies in the house Arham’s friend tries to calm him down and solves his problems. The character’s presence is rather nominal in the play but one can’t help but wonder where Arham would be without his friend to rely on. The actor playing the role is a newbie and you don’t really warm up his style of acting instantly but the positivity in his character makes it likeable.
These are all the good friends that I could think of, I am sure the Pyare Afzal fans will probably have a name or two to add. Feel free to add to the list and do share your thoughts about the friends which are included in the list.

American Sitcom Friends was a game-changer for television series in general for many reasons. Friends cast consisted mainly of new faces who got so much recognition once the show took off that they went on to become the highest-paid actors for a televisions series. Not only this, these cast members became a household name not just in America but all around the world because Friends was watched in every corner of the globe. Even after 28 years, it continues to be the most streamed television series on Netflix. When the makers finally chose their dream cast, they sent them away for a trip to Las Vegas so that they could get to know each other better and most importantly enjoy their status as ‘non-celebrities’. This basically went to show that even before this show went on air, the makers were convinced that it was going to be a huge hit. One of the main reasons why Friends became such a massive hit was because of its relatable character and quirky comedy. It ended up picking up innumerable awards every year and even after being on air for an entire decade, the fans could not get enough of the series. It was the perfect mix of emotions and comedy packed with so many situations that people could connect to. There were so many surprises as the Friends journey progressed that the viewers could never guess what to expect next.
Friends cast definitely contributed greatly to the popularity and likability of the show. How do these outstanding actors look like today and what are they doing with their lives? Let’s find out!
[lwptoc]
Jennifer Anniston’s style and performance both won the viewers over completely. She fit into the role of a fashionable young girl in the series who had her own share of struggles. She was undeniably one of the most important members of the Friends cast. Even after all those years, Jennifer Aniston has kept herself relevant more by her off-screen personality than anything else. Right now she is part of another interesting series titled The Morning Show. Jennifer got married to the famous Hollywood actor Brad Pitt in 2000 but this marriage lasted only for 5 years. She has been in other relationships and has often talked about how difficult it is was for her to deal with the breakups. Jennifer Aniston seriously believes that there are no regrets in life but only lessons, a philosophy she lives by now. She looks as beautiful as ever even today and is still a style icon. Look at her latest pictures:
Courteney Cox’s character in Friends was perhaps the one character many women could relate to at some level. Her obsessions and the urge to be in control all the time made her a relatable and lovable character. Right now Courteney Cox is doing a documentary series titled “Nine Months” that airs on Facebook Watch. Currently, she is dating Johnny McDaid since 2014. The couple has been separated because of the pandemic and Courteney has often talked about how tough this long-distance relationship is for her. She has a beautiful beach house in Malibu. In an interview, she talked about how special this house was to her and that she will never move from here.
Lisa Kudrow’s role in Friends was one-of-a-kind. Phoebe had a troubled childhood and she had lived a difficult life until she finally settled down with her ‘friends’ who were like family. Lisa Kudrow started her career as an actor but she went on to write and also became a producer. She created and acted in the Showtime series “Web Therapy,” that went on air for four seasons and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy.
Matt LeBlanc breathed life into Joey’s character and it was due to his brilliant performance that the viewers fell in love with a character that was not as intelligent as the rest of the characters in the series. Joey’s made the viewers laugh more than any other character and his innocence at times was adorable. Matt Blanc starred in a Friend’s spin-off series titled “Joey.” But this series did not get the kind of success its predecessor has. As a result of that, it ended after two seasons. He was a part of the show “Web Therapy” from 2011 to 2017. From 2016 to 2019 he hosted the British show “Top Gear”.
Matthew Perry is another actor who impressed the viewers with his apt portrayal in the series. He was loved by many when the series was on air and there were some who also found him annoying. He struggled with drugs and drinking addictions for many years and talked about them openly too. He used to be really skinny when the show started but in the later seasons, he started gaining weight. His massive gain weight came under public scrutiny and that is when he talked about his addictions. He opened a sober living home for addicts and usually does not make public appearances.
David Schwimmer played an unusual but entertaining character in Friends. In real life too he was not too lucky when it came to relationships. He got divorced recently which resulted in heartbreak like no other. As someone who always wanted to be recognized as a serious actor and even director David studied theatre and speech at Northwestern University, Illinois. He went on to pursue his passion and co-founded the Lookingglass Theatre Company in Chicago, playing the kind of roles he always wanted to. He also directed more than 20 plays.
James Michael Tyler played an important supporting character in the series. He was the barista of the cafe where all the friends hung out and where Rachel worked. He does not have a vast showbiz career. He has only been part of a handful of films. His primary claim to fame is the series Friends. In a recent interview, he talked about how wonderful it was working with Jennifer Aniston and he is also one of those many cast members who believe that there is no point filming a reboot.
Elliot Gould played another interesting supporting character in the series. He played the role of Ross’ father and was known for his quirky sense of humor more than anything else. Elliott Gould starred in many popular Hollywood films of the 70s. He has been married three times and is really proud of his Jewish identity. He is another memorable character from the Friends cast.
Christina Pickles’s role in Friends was limited but every time she made an appearance, the viewers enjoyed watching her scenes. She is a British-American actress who started her acting career in theatre in the 60s. Christina Pickles has played important roles in innumerable films and on television. In real life, she is known for her honest jokes and a fun personality. Christina was always awarded a number of times for her outstanding performances.
Maggie Wheeler starred in the series as a character which was not a constant but reappeared in different seasons. She played the role of Chandler’s girlfriend but not a steady one. There were some particular personality traits of this character which became popular for all the reasons. Maggie Wheeler’s portrayal however won her many fans. She was also played an interesting character in the series Everybody Loves Raymond which was also really popular. She has a lot of experience acting in films and different television series.
There was news that Friends cast may be reuniting, actually, this news has been circulating for quite a while and the fans have been looking forward to such a reunion. However, there has also been news that most of the cast members are not supporting the reunion. The series ‘Friends’ however continues to be the most watchable series, impressing the new generation as well. So, how was it watching your favorite stars in these new looks in 2020? Share your views.

Sardar Kamal is a big name in the world of Pakistani comedy. He has worked in film, television and theatre and will always remain a big name in the industry. He had a fun way of turning everything into comedy and his fans loved his work and humour. He also appeared on late night shows and was recently an integral part of Mazaq Raat. He shocked the world when he passed away from a sudden heart attack. His friends, fans and family are remebering him after his passing.
His funeral prayers were held in Lahore and a large crowd gathered to pay their last respects. His old colleagues and friends and his team from Mazaq Raat also came by to send him to his last abode. Nasir Chinyoti, Sakhawat Naz, Imran Ashraf, Naseem Vicky and many other stars spoke to the media and gave their tributes to the late legend.
Here are Sardar Kamal’s friends and colleagues paying tribute to the actor:
Sardar Kamal has countless hits on his credit and he always made people smile with his performances. May Allah SWT bless the departed soul and provide the sabar to his family and friends!
After losing Zainab to a heinous crime, the society slightly woke up from its slumber and decided to talk about the most disgusting issue of our society: Child Abuse! Yes, it is not new. Yes, people have been suffering from it since ages. And with Zainab’s tragedy at least everyone started talking about even if it is just for a while. Many celebrities came forward and shared their opinions on the situation. The boss ladies of our entertainment industry Nadia Jamil, Frieha Altaf and Maheen Khan should be applauded who came forward and shared their experience. Who talked about it with bravery and raised awareness that yes people it is happening and educate your child, talk about it. Farah Sadia is may be the only morning show host who did not make a drama out of this situation. She has done awareness programs about it. Frieha Altaf came in Farah’s show and told her story. It takes extreme courage to talk about this in our society if it has happened to you. But she did and pointed out that it is prevalent in every class of the society.
She also talked about her mother’s reaction towards the tragedy and openly shared that how this situation moulded her mind and how she suffered from it years after too and all this because the issue was never properly addressed. Here is what Frieha said on Farah’s show:
https://www.facebook.com/enswithfarah/videos/1654623177958306/
It is commendable how the victims who were once a victim are coming out and trying to raise awareness, trying to do their part and trying to help save others.
We wish more strength to Frieha Altaf!
Frieha Altaf is a Model turned fashion choreographer who rose to fame as the CEO of Catwalk Event Productions. She has also worked with Veet for the Veet Model Hunt. Frieha Altaf has been married and divorced and has a son and a daughter.
Frieha Altaf was recently spotted vacationing with her friends in Italy. Let’s check out the beautiful vacation pictures below.
Frieha Altaf is among the most famous people from the Pakistani showbiz industry. She became a model in an era when the profession was frowned upon. Frieha went on to open her own modelling and event management agency as she became a senior in the showbiz and also helped countless people in their careers. She is still going strong and doing a lot in her work. Her children Turhan James and Pareishay James are also connected to showbiz and they are working on carving their own niche.

Stars looked gorgeous decked up in their best finery. Frieha Altaf, her daughter and daughter in law were all spotted in shimmery silvers as they danced and enjoyed the night with celebrity friends. Here are some pictures from the star studded reception:
The modelling industry all over the world means glamour, lights and mystery. People generally attach a lot of coonations with the profession and many are still not familiar with how demanding and hard the work actually is. Pakistan is a conservative society and modelling is still not considered a full scale profession here by the masses and thus anything that needs to be discussed about the regulations of the industry gets swept under the carpet.
Mashion just came up with Pakistan’s first ever round tables for different fields and the ones with Pakistan’s supermodels was hosted by Fifi Haroon. From Frieha Altaf to Sara Zulfiqar, we saw some big names from the modelling industry and they talked about different aspects and obstacles people face in this career. Frieha Altaf has been in the industry for decades now and she owns a modelling agency as well. Thus, she was able to reveal facts about how people are harassed for work and how she opened her own agency to establish merit in the field.
Frieha revealed that merit was not really existing in the industry at the time. She said that she will get calls from different brands and people who would recommend her to put people into her runway shows. She said that she knows how male models would be called to give “favours” to people to get work and it happened a lot. Frieha then established her agency so people can simply audition and if they have what it takes, they can get work.
This is what she revealed:
Frieha Altaf is the biggest name of Pakistan Fashion Industry who has actually worked hard for the evolution of fashion in Pakistan. She has been one of the top fashion event organisers of Pakistan. Frieha had been part of LSA since it’s inception.
She was the top model of Pakistan as well. Her style makes her still young and beautiful.

Thanks to social media and freedom of expression, people are not finding it easy to bully anyone or cross their limits. Pakistani top model and PR mogul Frieha Altaf was recently under hot water for ridiculing random people that she had captured on her camera as they went to board a plane on the airport.
https://reviewit.pk/freiha-altaf-outrageously-ridiculed-people-clothes/
Her attitude had not gone down when I did a lot of people who called her out for invading peoples’ privacy and making fun of those who do not have her sources or interest to spend their time dressing up in latest fashion for the airport.
After a lot of backlash, Frieha came up with an explanation that she had posted on her social media pages;
While it’s great that she apologized and her apology should be accepted in all fairness but her clarifications were not very intelligent.
Why would someone comment on people who have not asked the fashion industry people to shed light on their dress sense and who are not indulging in any kind of glamour competition.
Secondly, Frieha sure has a very interesting and different way of taking selfies..
Frieha Altaf is the woman who brought the red-carpet trend in Pakistan. She is the woman behind revolutionizing the fashion industry of Pakistan. And now she has finally been honored for all the work that she has done.
Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WCCI) organized an event to celebrate the achievements of women in Pakistan on International Women’s Day 2017.
The event was held at Governor House where all the amazing and successful women were awarded for their efforts and for making this country proud.
Frieha Altaf was among the 7 successful women who were awarded for their efforts. They include: Maheen Khan, Nabila Maqsood, Sultana Siddiqui, Shaista Effendi and few more.
This is an extremely proud moment for all the Pakistani women and we wish them more success.
Nobody seems happy with Iman Aly’s recent interview, where she not only made a lot of revelations but also made a number of blunt and distasteful remarks about a number of people from the industry.
Iman not only ridiculed fellow actors Mahira and Fawad who have been immensely successful in Pakistan and across the border but also called out models for not speaking English.
However, Iman’s interview didn’t go down well with a lot of people. Ex model and now PR queen Frieha Altaf called out Iman for her distasteful comments, saying she was surprised at the publicity stunt Iman pulled.
“Im extremely surprised in Iman Ali’s behavior. She demeans not just models but criticized Mahira khan & Fawad Khan.A cheap publicity stunt as she has a movie coming up.Shame on anyone who ridicules success with condescension,” wrote Frieha on her Twitter.
Frieha’s comments were backed by top designer Maheen Khan, who said Iman had revealed her true calibre.
“In the end Iman Ali will be the looser as she has revealed her true calibre. Very very sad,” she wrote.
Frieha also stated that she had been surprised because she knew Iman.
When someone said Iman had the freedom to express her opinion, Frieha added that it wasn’t in good taste to pass such absurd comments especially on fellow actors who had been more successful. She said it was unclassy of Iman and showed insecurity and lack of tact.
Pakistani fashion icon, Frieha Altaf, celebrated her birthday yesterday and she looked extremely happy. She invited all her friends and colleagues to be a part of her big day and to make her birthday even more special. She wore black at the party that made her look even more graceful.

People are locked down in their homes and this time is making them realise the importance of things which we tend to ignore.
Many people are doing their house chores without the help of their maids and appreciating their hard work as well.
The fashion icon Frieha Altaf appreciated her domestic workers in a recent video that she posted on Instagram.
During this quarantine, she realized the importance of all the maids who helped her in doing every housework.

Interview content in roman urdu
Mein kabhi model nahin ban-na chahti thi… fareeha altaf nay zindagi ko hamesha apnay mutabiq jiya hai
Yeh zyada puran baat nahin jab parhi likhi larkiyion nay modeling kay shobay mein sirf masnoo-aat ki tash-heer say nikal kar advertising kay shobay mein apni salahi-ton kay izhaar kay liye jaga banana shru kar di aur phir apnay art say modeling dress designing, makeup aur styling ko fashion industry ka darja dilanay ki taraf safar shru kar diya ussi zamany mein art aur zihanat kay imtizaaj say aik naam nay fashion ki dunya mein apni aik munfarid pehchan banayee is mein qatayee koi shauk nahin kay fareeha altaf ko muasharti, siqafti aur mazhbi beshumaar rukawatain phalaang kar apni shinakht kay khadokhaal wazaih karnay paray. Lekin aaj fariha altaf fashion industry ka aik aisa sange meel ban chuki hain jissay dekh kar fashion ki raah chalnay waalon ko sahih simat ka pata chalta hai
Bachpan kay who din
Mera bachpan bhi baqi bachon ki tarah hi tha. Hum chaar behan bhayee hain do bhayee aur do behnain meray aik bhayee ka intiqaal kuchh saal pehlay huwa yeh sadma meray liye dukh aur ehsas kin a khatam honay waali kefiyat ko meray andar kucch is tarah peda kar gaya aur mujhey mehsoos huwa kay apnon say bicharna kis qadar azeeyat naak hota hai . meray abu choonkay airlines mein mulazmat kartay thay isliye bachpan ka zyada tar hisa unkay sath dunya ki sair kartay guzra. Mera apnay behan bhaiyon kay saath rishta bohat mazboot aur pyara rishta tha. Mujhay yaad hai bachpanmein hum behan bhayee chhupan chhupayee aur oonch neech jesay khail khela kartay thay mujhey aaj bhi yaad hai mein bachpan mein isqadar pur etmaad nahin thi jitni pur aitmaad aaj nazar aati hoon. Mein nay the convent of jesus and marry aur Karachi grammer school say ibtadayee taaleem ghaasil ki. Mera school hamesha meray saath saath rehta tha kyonkay meray school nay meri shakhsiyat banana mein aham kirdaar ada kiya . is kay baad America say graduation kiaur phir kayee saal baad Canada say fashion designing mein diploma bhi haasil kiya
Waledain kay saath rishta
Meri walida aik gharelo khatoon aur bohat hi pyar karnay waali aurat thi- mein shru say apni maan kay zyada qareeb thi magar meri shakhsiyat mein meray waalikd ka rang zyada numayan hai. Mein apnay waalid ki carbon copy hoon. Meray waalid bohat zabardast insaan thay jinhain logon ki madad karna achha lagta tha aur unhain khelon say bhi khaas lagao tha. Shayed khelon ka show mujhey apnay waalid sahib say wirsay mein mila hai. Magar mein nay ghar chalanay aur bachonn ki dekh bhal hamesha apni maan kay asoolon ki pervi ki hai. Meri maan bhi nihayat humdard khatoon thi. Career women honay kay bawjood mein aik gharelo khatoon hon jo apnay bachon kay baghair nahin reh sakti
Modeling mien kesay aayee?
Mein kabhi bhi model nahin ban-na chahti thi. Meri khwahish thi mein aik artist banon isliye mien nay art ki taaleem bhi haasil kit hi. Aik art gallery mein meri mulaqat saira shah say huwi jo aik mash-hoor magazine ki editor then aur mujh say poochnay lageen kay kiya tum model ban-na chahti ho? Chonkay modeling meray liye koi naya lafz nahin tha meri behan jo shadi shuda hai who bhi uswaqt modeling kar rahi thi balkay mera bhai aur behnoi bhi modeling kar rahay thay isliye mujhey is mein koi burayee nazar nahin aaye lahaza mein nay foran haan kar di. Meray khayal mein har orat ko naye aur khoobsorat libaas pehan-nay aur tasveerain banwanay ka shoq hota hai. Mujh mein bhi yeh shoq mojood tha isliye mujhey yeh offer bohat hi porkashish lagi
Modeling kay baad kiya huwa…?
Yeh 1989 ki baat hai jab mein modeling kay saath saath aik advertising agency mein mulazmat bhi kar rahi thi yeh who waqt tha jab mein modeling say khush nahin thi. Is zamany mein aik waqt aisa aaya jab mujhey paison ki zaroorat thi. Mein nay apnay doston say zikar kiya to aik dost nay mujhey mashwara diya kay tum aik fashion show organize karo aur uski ticktain bech kar pesay kama lena. Iss waqt modeling ki field bilkul naee thi aur fashion shows to huwa hi nahin kartay thay. Maheen khan jo meri dost bhi thi us nay mujhey kaha kay kyon na hum milkar aik fashion show organize karain? Mujhey paison ki zaroorat thi isliye mashwara pasand bhi aaya chunanchay mein nay offer qabool kar li. Yeh itna aasan kaam hargiz nahin tha. Sab say pehlay mein aik concept tbanaya kyonkay is waqt koi bhi event company kaam nahin kar rahi thi aur meri khwahish thi kay mein koi munfarid kaam karon. Iskay baad mein nay tarbiyat yaafta aur tajruba logon ki talaash kar di. Badqismati say is waqt is field mein tarbiyat yaafta log thay hi nahin.. mein nay pirzada family say , jo is waqt Karachi mein muqeem thi, sound or music kay liye khidmat haasil keen. Tapu javeri us waqt fotografer to nahin tha magar who meray school kay zamanay ka dost tha aur uskay paas behtreen music ka aik khazana tha. Mein nay apnay event ki mosiqi kay liye tapu ki khidmat haasil keen. Phir apnay aik architect dost say show ka set banwaya mein nay bohat hi professional andaaz mein kaam kiya tha. Meri lagan aur soch nay usaay aik munfarid aur yaadgaar show bana diya. Mujhey yaad hai kay uss zamanay mein humara fashion shows ki mosiqi ki 500 cassetain biki then. Fashion show kay liye hair styling aur make up tariq amen nay kiya woh fashion show meray liye sange meel ki hesiyat rakhta hai jis mein fashion, choreography aur modeling sab kuchh tha aur yeh sab zia dor mein kiya gaya tha jub hum usaay fashion show ka naam bhi nahin day saktay thay isliye hum nay usaay aik saqafti show ka naam diya. Is fashion show kay baad mujhey kayee bari companiyon say event organize karnay ki offes aayen. Mein nay conference, theatre, drama aur har tarah ka event munaqid karwaya. Us zamany mein ad agencies anay clients kay event organize karti then. Jinkay paas na to achhay ideas hotay thay naa hi tajarba kaar log chunachay mein nay catwalk production kay naam say apni company bana li. Mujhey yeh aizaz haasil hai kay tamam baray fashion designers ka pehla fashion show yaani launching show mein nay hi munaqid karwaya hai jin mein sana safinaz, maheen, seemi, nomi ansar aur karma shaamil hain
Kal aur aaj ki model mein farq
Humaray zamany mein modeling sirf shoq aur mashghala thi aur hum mehaz peson kayliye kaam nahin kar rahay they. Us waqt modeling aik nayee au munfarid field thi aur hum bohat dilchaspi say kaam kiya kartay they. Apnay zyada tar shots kay liye makeup bhi mein kud hi kiya karti thi. Aaj jo log fashion industry per chhaye huway hain us waqt who sab log kaamshru kar rahay thay. Aksar models ko makeup aur styling kay liye tariq amin aur nabeela kay paas bheja jaata tha us waqt is field mein sab naye log kaam kar rahay thay isliye sab mein sachayee, emandaari aur lagan thi. Us waqt log aik soch aur vision kay saath kaam kar rahay they. Paisay ki hawas kam thi log kaam kay mayaar ko ahmiyat detay thay. Sab models time per set per aati then sirf pesay ki khaatir kisi bhi gher mayaari magazine kayliye kaam nahin karti theen kam az kam mein aisa nahin karti thi mein bohat soch samajh kar aur bohat makhsoos logon kay saath kaam karti thi apni pasand ka fashion designer, makeup, photographer aur magazine bhi . mein nay apnay modeling career mein sirf teen magazine kay cover page kayliye kaam kiya hai. Isi tarah haseena moin kay aik drama mein acting ki aur bohat mayaari brands kay ishtiharaat mein kaam kiya iskay ilaawa 7 ya 8 tv ishtiharaat bhi mehaz peson kay liye kiye. Meray liye kaam ka mayaar zyada aham tha mein kissi ghair mayaari kaam ka hisaa nahin ban-na chahti thi magar aaj sab kuchh badal chukka hai models ki pehli tarjih sirf pesa hai.
Trend setter
Mujhey naye tajarbuaat karnay ka bohat shoq hai. Main nay apni zindagi aur field mein bohat say kaam pehli dafa kiya jo phir trend ban gaye. Jesay mein nay junoon group ki pehli music video heer bhi banayee thi. Hum subah 3 bajay uthh kar shooting kay liye nikal jaata . shooting kay liye kissi pursakoon farm ki talaash bhi aik mushkil kaam thaa. Magar mein nay yeh video baghair kisi muawzay kay mehaz dosti ki khaatir banayee. Issi tarah vital signs kay liye pehla music concert bhi kiya jiskay liye hotel mein beth kar 150 tickets mein khood bechi theen. Yeh tamam kaam aur tajarubaat aaj bhi itnay hi dilchasp aur dilkash hain magar uswaqt yeh sab kuchh meray liye bohatnaya tha. Mein sab kuch bohat munfarid andaaz mein karna chahti thi jesay us zamany mein venue show karnay ka riwaaj hi nahin thaa magar mein apnay har show kay liye anokhi location dhoonda karti thi. Wesay mein aik show railway station per bhi munaqid karwa chuki hoon. Issi tarah aik tareekhi amarat hindu gymkhana mujhey bohat mutaasir karti thi. Jo bohat buri haalat mein thia aur jhaariyon aur paudon nay uski saari khobsoorti chhupa raki thi. Mein jab bhi wahan say guzarti to socha karti thi kay kitni khobsoorat imaarat hai aik din mein is imaarat mein gayee aur unsay ijazat li kay mein is imaarat ki halat darust karna chahti hoon. Mujhey aaraam say yeh ijazat mil gayee. iskay baad mein nay apnay issi architect dost ko saath liya jis nay meray pehlay fashion kay how ka set banaya tha aur hum nay tareekhi virsa ki hifazat ki soch kay saath kaam shru kar diya. Sab say pehlay humnay jhariyaan aur pauday saaf kiye phir poori imaarat k paint kiya aur usko aam logon kay liye khol diya. Jab log is imaarat ko dekhnay aaye sab heraan reh gaye kay yeh kitni khoobsorat aur tareekhi imaarat hai. Media nay is imarat ki tasveerain khenchi aur aglay din har akhbar mein is imaarat ki khoobsurti aur roshniyon ka zikar tha aur yeh bhi kay aisay tareekhi virsa ki hifazat karna chahiye. Mujhay aik tareekhi virsa hifazat ka ehsas hamesha tawaana rakhti hai.
Meri sab say bari kamyabi
Mein 20 saal say is field say wabasta hoon. In 20 saalaon mein sab say mushkil daur who that jab mein nay is field mein qadam rakha tha. Yeh who daur tha jab log modeling ko bohat napasand kartay thay. Meray sab dost bhi kehnay laga fareeha tum kiya kar rahi ho tumhari bold tasveerainhar pan shop per lagi hon gee. Aisay waqt mein jab muashray kay saath saath apkay dost bhi aapkay muntakhib karda raastay ki mukhalfat karnay lagain. Us waqt apnay raastay aur soch per qayem rehna bohat mushkil hota hai . is muskil daur mein modeling karna meri sab say bari kamyabi hai aur yehi meri industry mein sab say bari contribution bhi hai hum logon nay mukhalfit ka saamna kiya magar kam jaari rakha aur aaj fashion industry ko iss muqaam per pohnchanay kay liye hum sab logon nay bohat mushkil wat dekha hai. Abto larkiyon kay liye fashion industry mein aana bohat aasan ho gaya hai. Aksar larkiya mujhey milti hain to batati hain kay who magazine mein tasveer dekh kar mujh jesa ban=na chahti hai isliye who is field mein aayee hain.
Meri shaadi shuda zindagi
Meri shaadi do baar huwee magar meri donon shaadiyan nakaam raheen. jis waqt mein Canada mein thi us waqt mein nay doosri shaadi ki meray do bachay hain. Issi doraan mein nay fashion designing mein diploma haasil kiya iss kaay saath mein aik modeling institute mein parha bhi rahi thi. Meri zindagi mein sab theek tha magar apnay shohar kay saath mera taluqaat theek nahin they lihaaza hum nay alehda honay kaa faisla kar liya
Phir shaadi kyon nahin ki
Meray paas shaadi kay baaray mein sochnay kay liye time nahin tha. Mein apnay bachon ki parvarish taaleem aur apni kamayee kay baray mein soch rahi thi. Jabkay pehlay say haasil talkh tajrubay ki bina par ab meray paas mardon kay baray mein sochnay ka time hi nahin hai
Ideal aadmi
Aaj tak meri mulaqat ideal mard say nahin huwi, meray nazdeek aik ideal aadmi who hai jo aqalmand, mature aur pur aitmad ho aisa insaan jis say mein baat kar sakoon. Mein bohat aasani say logon say mutaasir nahin hoti. Mein samajhti hoon kay sat-hi soch aur sat-hi batain amli zindagi kay liye daldal kay mutraadif hain
Akele zindagi guzarna mushkil
Haan akelay zindagi guzarna mushkil to tha magar muhey yeh safar is hawalay say aasan bhi laga kay meri zindagi mein koi mard nahin jo meri zindagi kay faislay karta. Meinnay apni zindagi apnay asoolon kay mutabiq guzaari apnay sab faislay khud kiye. Mein khush qismat thi kay meray sath meri waalida mojood theen unki duwaoon nay zindagi ko khobsoorat banaye rakha. Mera aik bhai aur behan bhi thi magar meri maan nay meray saath rehnay ka faisla kiya. Meri sab say bari khushi meray bachay hain. Apni zindagi mein khush rehna bhi itni bai kamyabi hai jitna kay apni zindagi apnay mutabiq jeena. Meri zindagi ki daur meray apnay haath mein hai mein kisi ki mohtaaj nahin hoon aur yehi meri kamyabi hai . mera beta tarhaan 17 saal ka aur beti parishay 16 saal ki hai. Meray donon bachay bohat samajhdaar aur takhleeqi salahiton kay maalik hain. Mein unko apnay kaam mein bhi shaamil kar ti hoon meray bachay meri dunya hain.

In every season, Pakistani drama viewers come across fresh pairs and on-screen couples. Where some of the couples do not really make an impact, there are others that are well received by the audience because of various reasons. At times, the factors that make any on-screen couple successful and well-loved could be the chemistry shared between them, the kind of relationship they have, and the way they treat each other. For any on-screen couple to work, the dynamic is of utmost importance and then the characters that they are getting to play.
It is a known fact that a lot of actors prefer working with the co-stars that they are comfortable with, however, there are always such dramas where different actors are cast together who have not worked before and they end up winning the hearts of the viewers. In the dramas that have aired recently, Pakistani drama viewers have gotten to see a few such on-screen couples and pairs that were not seen before and although the audience may have been skeptical but after the dramas started airing, they ended up liking these fresh pairs.
Here is the list of fresh pairs and on-screen couples seen in recent Pakistani dramas:
Imran Ashraf and Sarah Khan were paired together as Moosa and Zohra in the drama serial Raqs e Bismil and right from the beginning, their on-screen couple was a hit amongst the audience. Although Moosa has always overshadowed the character of Zohra, there is no doubt about the fact that both Imran Ashraf and Sarah Khan have an undeniable screen presence, that is why the scenes where both of them were seen together ended up becoming the highlight of all those episodes. The way their love story has been written also makes it an endearing relationship with Zohra being in denial and taking wrong decisions to push him away and Moosa on the other hand literally losing everything for the sake of his love for him. This is exactly why in a recent episode where Zohra confesses her love for Moosa, the audience couldn’t contain their excitement and it became the talk of the town. Although Zohra and Moosa have had very limited scenes together, it adds more to the anticipation where the audience wants to see them together even more. Imran Ashraf and Sarah Khan definitely deserve all the credit for making Moosa and Zohra one of the unforgettable couples and a beautiful on-screen couple for the drama viewers.
When the pictures of this project started ciruclating last year, the audience absolutely had no idea about the dynamic the characters of Meenu and Faazi played by Ayeza Khan and Osman Khalid Butt will share. They were definitely in for a very pleasant surprise because even when the story began, no one could actually see them both ending up together. However, as the drama progressed, people fell in love with Meenu and Faazi’s couple. Ayeza Khan and Osman Khalid Butt gave their characters such a perfect and unique treatment that it became a highlight of Ramzan for all the viewers who tuned to TV at the end of a long day. Ayeza and Osman looked perfect together and the added bonus was the comic quotient their equation had which made it even better. This was definitely a refreshing pair seen in a Pakistani drama and we would love to see more of them together in different projects.
Ramsha Khan and Affan Waheed have also not worked together before and this is exactly why the audience did not know what to expect. However, their couple is not only new but also quite interesting and refreshing because it started off on a note where they both were not into each other but because of the niceness, and after exploring the compatibility, they have started thinking about each other genuinely. The characters of Bakht and Meerab are polar opposites and this is why their interactions are always very interesting because they see things from a completely different perspective. Meerab is a soft-hearted person whereas Bakht is a tough cookie, at least she carries that facade for the most part. Ramsha and Affan definitely have brought a lot of charm and fun in the drama serial Shehnai and they make a very nice pair which the audience would love to see in the future.
The craze of Haadi and Mishi’s couple HaShi is an example in itself of how popular their on-screen couple has become that throughout the time when the drama was on-air, their couple was trending with people showering the new actors with a lot of love and appreciation for their drama and their characters. The luck was definitely on their side because Chupke Chupke was both Arsalan Naseer as well as Aymen Saleem’s debut drama and the amount of love they received has definitely given their acting careers a brilliant kickstart and has already put their names on the map. They have garnered a massive fan following and people are already demanding the second season because of how popular the entire cast and especially the main couples of Meenu Faazi and Haadi Mishi have become. Arsalan Naseer and Aymen Saleem’s chemistry was strong and their couple was cute, making it relatable for all those viewers who in their actual lives struggle to get their message across to their families too. Although Arsalan and Aymen are new actors, they also gave convincing performances, making Haadi and Mishi a memorable fresh pair of this year.
Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz are also working together for the first time in mega-hit drama serial Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3. Even before the drama went on air Feroze Khan was sure of the waves this drama is going to make. The story of the drama is based on the character of Farhad, played by Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz plays the role of Mahi, Farhad’s love interest. The story is revolving around Farhad right from the beginning but Mahi also has been given a lot of coverage and now a lot more because she is in a state of emotional turmoil. Her life is about to change and she will be seen a lot more. However, Farhad and Mahi have had very few and limited scenes together, therefore not a lot can be made of their chemistry. However, the audience is loving the intensity behind the emotion of love that Farhad has for Mahi and that is turning out to be one of the defining factors of Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3. It will be interesting to see whether Farhad and Mahi will ever come together or have more scenes in the upcoming episodes, however, they have definitely become popular as an on-screen couple because of Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3.
Faysal Qureshi and Hira Bukhari also joined hands for their project Fitoor. The cast of this drama is different and has not been seen working together before. The story of Fitoor is a bit on the typical side but the equation that Dilnasheen and Haider share makes it worth watching. Hiba Bukhari and Faysal Qureshi are playing more or less the similar kind of roles that they have done before but the overall treatment of their couple, as well as their dynamic, makes it interesting. Dilnasheen definitely knows how to fight for her rights and Haider is making sure that he doesn’t do anything to deprive his wife of the rights she has on him. Faysal Qureshi and Hiba Bukhari definitely look good together on-screen and although their relationship took a long time to normalize, their chemistry is definitely nice, making it one of the strongest fresh pairs seen in the current dramas.
Drama serial Pehli Si Mohabbat happens to be both Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawwar’s comeback drama. They both have been seen together in a Pakistani feature film Paray Hut Love but when it comes to dramas, this is their first project together. Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawwar not only make a beautiful couple but their chemistry on-screen is sizzling. This is the reason their scenes are the highlight of the drama and the equation the characters of Rakhsi and Aslam share is very relatable and cute in some ways. They both are young and hopelessly in love with each other with sadly their feelings and emotions for each other being tested with each passing day. They both know they don’t stand a chance but still, they love each other with all their hearts. Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawwar are definitely quite selective about their projects but the success of Pehli Si Mohabbat should be enough of a reason for them both to do more drama together in the future.
This completes the list of fresh on-screen couples and pairs that we have seen in recent Pakistani dramas. Which one of these pairs turned out to be your favorite? Please share your opinion in the comment section below.

[lwptoc]
You may feel that your heart is racing; fluttering in your chest and this might be accompanied by pain or tightness in the chest. It can feel like you are having a heart attack but this could be due to anxiety. Anxiety can affect your brain which controls your heart functions just like all the other functions of the body. Deep breathing exercises can help lowering heart rate due to anxiety. The most common and effective deep breathing exercise is sitting in a relaxed manner, breathing in from the nose, and exhaling through the mouth. Regular physical exercise and meditation also help with anxiety-related heart rate issues. Consulting a professional is recommended if you are facing such symptoms frequently.
When faced with a speeding heart rate due to anxiety or nervousness, mindfulness can help. Acknowledging and accepting what you are going through is the first step. Breathing exercises can also help lower racing heart rate due to anxiety. Meditation and Yoga have helped many individuals facing similar conditions. The most important step towards leading a healthier life is to consult a professional and get treatment for anxiety. Many people facing such issues manage to control anxiety and resulting symptoms considerably by involving themselves in physical exercises. A simple exercise such as jogging which tires you will help curb anxiety and the symptoms that come with it. Taking long relaxing baths can also help.
Yes, anxiety can result in a sore throat and even a pain in your ear which feels more like a tense pressure within the ear walls. The reason for this is that when you are anxious certain hormones are released by your body. These hormones can affect your breathing which can in turn lead to a tight or sore throat. If you are feeling this lump or sore in your throat due to anxiety, it should automatically get better once you are no longer anxious. You might feel more pressure in your ear when you are going through a difficult phase of anxiety. Ears also ‘pop’ more often when you are anxious. The ear-popping can vary depending on the degree of anxiety.
Psychogenic fever can be a result of chronic stress or anxiety. The body temperature can go up mildly due to anxiety or it can be really high as well. One of the signs and symptoms of an anxiety attack include the body temperature going up to the extent that you feel as if you are burning. However, whenever you feel that your temperature is not going down or is persistently up, be sure to see a doctor who can assess if there is any other reason for this. If this temperature rise is even due to anxiety, get it treated.
Increased heart rate or palpitations is a common symptom of anxiety. Although anxiety is a response related to the brain it also affects the heart rate. Many people feel tightness in the chest, a high heart rate, and palpitations when they are anxious or even nervous. If the rise in the heart rate is not often and subsides then there is nothing to worry about. If it continues then it can be a cause of worry. There can however be several other reasons for rapid heart rate which can easily be treated. See your doctor and get yourself diagnosed in order to get the right treatment.
Yes, constant stress and anxiety can make you sick if not treated or curbed through exercises or other methods. Stress and anxiety can weaken your immune system which makes you more prone to catching different diseases. Some common symptoms of stress and anxiety are nausea, constipation, and upset stomach. It can also lead to frequent infections and colds due to low immunity. Constant anxiety can also result in certain skin problems and hair loss. Your body’s ability to regulate inflammatory conditions is affected due to constant stress which leads to making you more vulnerable to catching certain diseases.
Anxiety can affect your nose in more ways than one. People might find themselves feeling an irritation in the nose when they are anxious. They might find themselves rubbing their nose often during such a period of anxiety. This can also lead to nose acne. Anxiety can lead to tingling sensations in the nose and in some cases even nose bleeds. Feeling pressure on the bridge of the nose can also be due to the tension in the muscles as a result of anxiety. However, there can be many different reasons for nose-related issues therefore it is always a good idea to see a professional if the pressure is constant.
The doctors usually try to keep anxiety in check during the pregnancy so that these levels do not go up during labor. It is really important, to be honest with your doctor about your fears and concerns. During the labor, the doctors usually prefer not giving any medication for anxiety but if your doctor feels the need to do so they might start giving you something to help curb your anxiety beforehand. Usually, a good support system and an understanding team of professionals at the time of giving birth can do wonders for your anxiety. Therapy during pregnancy can also help greatly because most often it is not good to take medicine for anxiety during pregnancy.
Feeling anxious in the morning is normal for most people. If you have been feeling extreme anxiety for more than six months every time you wake up in the morning then you have an anxiety disorder and you need to see a professional. The reason for anxiety early in the morning is that the ‘stress hormone’ is at its peak in the morning. Most people who do not have Generalized Anxiety Disorder can deal with the morning stress adequately but people who have the disorder find it impossible to deal with it without facing a lot of problems. Some people might find it difficult to fully wake up and get on with the day due to increased anxiety. The reason for this can be an unhealthy lifestyle, too many negative thoughts, and a lack of proper sleeping patterns.
Most of the people do not consider themselves a ‘morning person’ since they find it difficult to start the day. There are many others who wake up worried about what lies ahead. There is a stress hormone in our body known as Cortisol which is released intensively in the morning for about 45 minutes after we wake up. Therefore, it is natural to feel overwhelmed and anxious in the morning. However, if you feel that you simply cannot cope and feel extreme anxiety every single morning which also lingers on during the day then you need to see a professional. You might have an anxiety disorder that can be curbed with certain breathing exercises and even medication if necessary.
You might get really worried when you feel like you have difficulty breathing sometimes. The fact is that shortness of breath is a common symptom of anxiety. Since anxiety often is a response to fearful situations, the resulting symptoms such as trouble breathing are related to it. If you feel a choking sensation and have a dry mouth then these can also be symptoms of a panic attack. This is due to the stress hormones which are released in your body as a result of anxiety. There are many different ways to deal with panic attacks therefore seeing a professional can help. Certain breathing exercises also help a lot with such breathing problems. Sitting down and sometimes distracting yourself can also be helpful.
Most people feel that their anxiety increases when they lie down to sleep at night. The reason for this is that there are no distractions at night time therefore we are more ‘attentive’ to our thoughts. Such intrusive thoughts can also wake a person up in the middle of the night and keeps them from falling asleep. Such sleep patterns can affect the quality of life. Experts suggest that using certain essential oils before bed can be beneficial in helping to fall asleep. If you are in bed and cannot sleep, it is better to leave the bed and do something that might tire you mentally or physically. The longer you stay in bed thinking about things, the more anxious you will get.
Dogs can help people with anxiety in many different ways. They can calm a person down, they can also tell when a person might get an anxiety attack, and most importantly they can get help if needed. These dogs can also fetch medication when trained to do so. Spending time outdoors with such dogs can provide people with anxiety disorders with much needed physical activity. These dogs are called service dogs and some of the best dog breeds for people with anxiety are – German shepherds, Boxers, golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, poodles, and huskies. In order to get a service dog, first people with anxiety disorders must get permission from a professional.
Extreme and constant anxiety can cause panic attacks. Apart from many other symptoms, one of the first is hyperventilating. This means that you will start breathing rapidly in and out. This abrupt and rapid breathing affects the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. That is the reason why some experts believe that the oxygen levels actually go up and that is why it is difficult for the patient to manage their breathing. The best way to deal with such an attack is to give the patient a paper bag to breathe in and to help them slow their breathing down. During a panic attack, the oxygen levels do not go down but actually, there is an inadequate level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Yes, anxiety can cause nausea and dizziness. When we are anxious or stressed out different hormones come into action within our body and they have different effects. You must have felt that when you are even temporarily stressed out about something, you instantly feel pain or pressure in your stomach. Anxiety affects our bowel movement and also the digestive system as a whole. That is the reason why we feel nauseous and find it difficult to enjoy our food when we are anxious. Sometimes extreme anxiety can also result in vomiting. Dizziness is also a common symptom of anxiety, more because it is a fear response in many. Extreme dizziness in anxiety is often managed with medication.
Emotional anxiety in particular can cause pain between shoulder blades. It is another one of the most common symptoms of anxiety. The reason for this is that the neck and the shoulder muscles become stiff due to stress or anxiety. Sometimes this pain can be temporary but at other times it can be a permanent feature. It can range from soreness to extreme pain. Getting a massage, using a heating pad and certain yoga positions can help with this pain. This condition should not be left untreated because it can get worse with time.
Anxiety can definitely make a person feel like there is tightness in their chest and at other times it can take the form of extreme chest pain. This pain is most often muscular. In some people, this pain gets intense gradually, while in others it can be a sharp pain, to begin with. Some people with anxiety wake up with sharp chest pain. If the chest pain is brought on after a person has been doing extensive work then it is not anxiety-related. If you feel this pain when you are sitting or lying down then it is anxiety related.
Tingling and Numbness of hands are common in anxiety especially when it is left unaddressed for long. This tingling or numbing might feel like needles pricking. This tingling sensation may be in other parts of the body other than the hands. Another cause for this tingling can also be a vitamin deficiency or even dehydration. See your healthcare provider if the tingling sensation doesn’t go away. There can be other reasons for this sensation besides anxiety. And if it is because of anxiety then a professional will help you with it. Many people experience such tingling in hands and feet both, some people even feel it on their scalp.
Many people are frightened when they feel tightness and pain in their chest due to anxiety. They often feel that they might be having a heart attack especially because such pain is most often accompanied by muscular pain. The fact is that there are certain symptoms of anxiety that might lead to a sudden cardiac arrest in extreme cases. Anxiety and constant stress can cause high blood pressure which can be the reason for possible heart disease. Stress and anxiety do affect the heart function in some cases therefore if you feel that you cannot control your anxiety, seek professional help.
Yes, anxiety can make you breathless and it can also make your breathing heavy. In fact, hyperventilating is one of the primary symptoms of a panic attack which is caused by extreme anxiety. There are many causes for shortness of breath therefore if you are facing this health problem, it is vital that you get help and a proper diagnosis for it. It depends on the intensity of the condition and the situation in which you feel that you are short of breath, based on these the health professionals can make a calculated diagnosis. If the shortness of breath is due to anxiety, it is not difficult to manage with help from the experts.
Anxiety can affect your digestive system; it can give you a stomach ache and even diarrhea. It is really common for people to get an upset stomach when they are overly anxious especially when they do not get enough sleep. The scientific explanation for this is that when a person is under stress, the body releases certain hormones that enter the digestive system and disrupt its function. Some people also feel nauseous when they are anxious and they find it difficult to eat for days. Some people can have anxiety-related diarrhea for days and even weeks.
Anxiety and stress make your muscles stressed and painful. Over the years the doctors have learned that many of the bodily pains are directly related to anxiety and depression. Experts also believe that when you have anxiety, the effect of the pain you have multiplies because when you have anxiety your pain threshold is also compromised. Coping strategies and anxiety medication should help with these body pains. You will be more aware of the pain and it will be difficult to cope with under severe anxiety. Nowadays, the doctors take body hurt due to anxiety more seriously than ever therefore going to a professional would certainly help with your anxiety and body pains.
Many people who are suffering from anxiety have this complaint. The most common reason for not being able to eat is ever-present nausea and the fear of throwing up. The blood circulates in a different direction when we are overly anxious, this is due to the flight or fight response of the body. The blood flows away from your stomach or gut and that is what results in nausea. When you are already anxious, you are scared to eat and do not even feel like eating with nausea. Many people go without food for weeks when they feel this way. When their anxiety goes away, they get back to their normal eating habits.
Yes, there are so many people struggling with going to sleep and even waking up in the middle of the night and worrying about different things. Even when we are asleep our brain is still working at some level. Therefore if you already have anxiety, your brain gets busy thinking and worrying the second you are slightly awake from your sleep. While most people find it easier to go back to sleep, someone who has anxiety will have a really difficult time dodging these thoughts and going back to sleep. Also, if you are constantly worrying about something, you might get nightmares and that will also disrupt your sleep.
Sometimes, we might think that certain habits or behaviors are not causing anxiety because that is how we have been living our lives but actually these behavior patterns add to our anxiety and cause it. You cannot have anxiety without feeling anxious. You might feel that you are not anxious because you are not aware of the things around you or within you that make you anxious. There are many people who suffer from anxiety but they do not find out about it until it starts showing in physical form. You might be an anxious person but you are probably not aware of it.
Yes, you need a proper diagnosis so that it can be assessed what kind of treatment you require for the disorder. If anxiety goes unaddressed it can affect your life in many ways therefore it is important to get a proper diagnosis. Anxiety disorders can vary and there is a proper assessment procedure that is used to determine what kind of a disorder you have. These assessments will help the professionals figure out whether you have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), or/and Manic Depressive Disorder (MDD). The diagnosis will definitely help you lead a better life by getting whatever problems you have treated properly.
Anxiety can cause your heart to beat really fast. The reason for this is that when a person is feeling really anxious then their body has the same response as fight and flight response. Your body thinks it is in danger and as a result, there is a strain on the heart due to increased oxygen levels in the body. You might feel tightness in your chest, your heart pounding so hard that you can feel it beating in your chest and your ears, some people even feel pain in their left arm because of which they are often really sure that they are having a heart attack.
The hormones released within the body due to anxiety affect the stomach as well. Anxiety also affects your blood circulation which results in making you feel nauseous. This is the reason why many people lose their appetite. Another reason for the loss of appetite is the fear that you might not be able to swallow your food due to the dryness in your throat caused by anxiety. This fear causes even more anxiety which is directly associated with food and as a result, many people lose their appetite completely for weeks or even months when they are anxious. Some people suffering from anxiety disorders even find it difficult or disturbing to chew their food which is why they cannot eat even when they feel hungry.
Most experts believe that anxiety medicines contribute to weight gain. Some people gained even as much as 10 kg within months of taking these medicines. Another reason why people gain more weight when they are taking the medicine is that their symptoms subside, they feel better and then they start eating more. Some of the anxiety medications which make you gain the most weight are the ones containing the following; mirtazapine, amitriptyline, paroxetine, escitalopram, and sertraline. If you are worried about gaining weight but need medication for your anxiety, your doctor can tell you some healthy lifestyle changes which will be helpful.
There is a good reason why our elders used to give us water when we were crying or felt overwhelmed. Water indeed has calming properties and the act of pausing and taking some sips can have a soothing effect as well. Drinking more water also provides much-needed hydration which has unlimited benefits. Some of the recent researches even proved that drinking enough plain water decreases the risk of depression and anxiety. The dizziness, headache, muscle fatigue, nausea, and even increased heart rate associated with anxiety improve when a person drinks water. There are people who are managing their anxiety by staying hydrated.
You have separation anxiety if you are constantly afraid of being separated from someone you love; it can even be a pet. Some people believe that only children have separation anxiety but that is not true because even adults can face this anxiety. If you feel nauseous, get headaches, or a dry throat when you have these thoughts or are actually being separated from someone then you have separation anxiety. If you excessively worry that if you leave someone alone they will be harmed then that is another symptom. Separation anxiety also shows itself as a fear of being left alone. If you are constantly wondering where someone is then that can also be a symptom of separation anxiety. If you are getting nightmares surrounding these fears then that is another way of knowing that you have separation anxiety.
Separation anxiety in babies usually starts when they are 6 months old because that is when they start having a sense of object permanence. This anxiety starts getting more acute when a baby is 9 months or older. Separation anxiety in babies can last up to 3 weeks depending on how the parents respond. Some babies take less than 3 weeks. There are many ways through which parents can help the babies adjust to the new routine. Getting the baby gradually used to the changes in routine usually leads to easier adjustments in the long run.
A person suffering from an anxiety disorder is in a state of a constant worry. Asking the person who you want to help is always the best way since different people have different needs. Otherwise, you might be doing something which you think will help them but it might make things worse for them. One of the best ways to help someone with anxiety is to just to sit by their side and listen to what they have to say. There are also those people who do not like to talk about their issues therefore being by their side even when they do not want to talk can sometimes do wonders.
When you are overly anxious, your body goes into a fight or flight mode which can result in shaking. Feeling a trembling sensation, even twitches, and even extreme trembling is a common symptom in people diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Sometimes these tremors can be worrisome but they go away as the anxiety is suppressed. These tremors are called psychogenic tremors. Shaking is a sign of panic or anxiety attack. Sometimes people with anxiety might wake up in the middle of the night shaking uncontrollably and they can go back to being perfectly fine in minutes. Yoga, meditation, and practicing mindfulness helps with such symptoms of anxiety.
“I have depression but I prefer to say that I battle depression because depression hits but I hit back.”
“Depression is being colorblind and being constantly told how colorful the world is.”
“The girl who laughs a lot and talks a lot and seems very happy may also be crying herself to sleep.”
“I don’t think people understand how stressful it is to explain what’s going on in your head when you don’t even understand it yourself.”
“Today I escaped anxiety or no, I discarded it because it was within me, in my own perceptions, not outside.”
“Interrupt anxiety with gratitude.”
In order to figure out on your own whether you have relationship anxiety or you are simply not in love, you have to go back to your childhood. If you were raised in a house where feeling natural emotions such as anger, sadness, or even happiness were not recognized then you probably have relationship anxiety. If your parents never gave priority to what you needed or wanted as a child then you grow up to be an insecure individual who is either afraid of getting attached or you get overly attached. In order to find out what relationship anxiety is you need to read about attachment style. Once you figure that out, either seek help from a professional or if you are strong enough then face your fears. You need to figure out what your attachment style is to know whether you are in love or not or is it your relationship anxiety taking you away from your soul-mate.
Relaxation anxiety reduction techniques are usually classified as somatic and cognitive. These techniques are taught to individuals with anxiety disorders so that they can use them to help with the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety. They can involve visualization, relaxation, imagery, and mediation. Diaphragmatic breathing is another anxiety reduction technique which has long term effects. These techniques if followed through can have the best results and do not have any side effects. Practicing daily is a prerequisite and obviously, it all depends on the person’s own will and how motivated they are to follow through.
Anxiety can cause shortness of breath at night because when you are anxious, the blood flow and oxygen levels in your body get affected. It can happen during the day and at night. There are many people with anxiety disorders who experience shortness of breath at night time because their anxiety levels peak at night time. There can however be many other reasons for shortness of breath therefore if it is persistent then it is really important to seek help from a doctor. He will help you in figuring out what the actual cause is and suggest a treatment.
Feeling anxious temporarily before an interview, a date, some important event, doctor’s appointment or any other situation such as this one is a form of anxiety everyone experiences. Getting a temporary stomach ache or headache because you feel anxious is also normal. However, people who have anxiety disorders find it difficult to deal with the neverending thoughts in their mind and cannot even deal with daily affairs as other people can. Their anxiety also comes with certain extreme symptoms such as palpitations, shaking, sweating excessively, feeling too hot or too cold, difficulty falling asleep, and feeling nauseous. Having anxiety can be really tough because it is really difficult to make people who do not have anxiety understand what you are going through.
Feeling anxious in a stressful situation is normal therefore it is important to know the difference between everyday anxiety which will come and go and anxiety which needs diagnosis and treatment. Anxiety becomes a disorder when it starts affecting the quality of your life. If the worrying thoughts are persistent and ever-present so much so that they start affecting your sleep and physical health then you definitely need to be diagnosed. If you feel that you cannot cope with day to day activities due to your anxiety and it is also affecting your sleep then you need proper treatment for the disorder.
It is normal for puppies to feel separation anxiety. They get anxious when you leave them and might stay anxious till the time you get back. It can be difficult leaving your puppy knowing that he will be anxious until you are back. Anyone who owns a puppy would know that laying down the rules right in the beginning and training the puppy how to adjust to changes is really important. Teaching them how to deal with separation anxiety is also part of the training. Desensitization and Counter-Conditioning plays a vital role in training your puppy how to get used to these periods of separation. Exercise also helps the puppies deal with separation anxiety. Make your puppy more independent and give them their own space even when you are around. When they are used to being on their own, they are less likely to be stressed out when you are not around.
Freiha Altaf is one of the veterans in the Pakistani entertainment industry, Being a former model herself, Freiha went on to become an organizer and a promoter of great talent and she has been among the pioneers of some of the most iconic shows that we watch today on our screens. She is also a mom to two children; a son Turhan James and a daughter Pareeshay James and Freiha is a vocal human rights activist who has always raised her voice for victims of abuse and has always lent her support.
It was a festive time in Freiha Altaf’s household as her son was getting married. Her son Turhan tied the knot with now wife Emaan Dharani in a private ceremony with close friends and family members surrounding the two. The bride looked lovely in a silver ivory sari for her big day while the groom complimented her in same shades of sherwani. Here are some pictures from the wedding and everyone looks happy and lovely. Check out:
Freiha Altaf is one of the leaders of the Pakistani fashion industry. She has been very up and vocal about everything she sees around and was one of the first Pakistani women to come out and talk about the vice of child rape prevailing and increasing in the society. Freiha has organized many events and is a leading face of the industry. She is known for her unique style statement and never shies away from expressing herself the way she likes whatever people may say or comment about her.
Freiha Altaf attended a wedding recently and she opted for a gold unique take on traditional Saari. She was seen enjoying the ceremony and clicked pictures with her friends. Saba from Sabs was also spotted with her on the ceremony. Here are some pictures of the ladies together:
Freiha Altaf is a huge name of Pakistani fashion industry. The former model is known for her influence on fashion in Pakistan and she really is the front-runner of the trends in our country. But do responsibility comes with power? The answer is no at least in Freiha’s case.
She recently was at an airport where she randomly started filming some common public and started judging their clothing choices. She didn’t care about the privacy and maybe does not understand the concept of “not everyone belongs to the fashion industry” concept. Here are some of the shots she posted while she was busy ridiculing people:
From calling the red jacket that it can only be worn by a qawwal and bluntly criticizing the others for their dress choices, Freiha really crossed the limits. She later removed the posts when people started criticizing her.
This was really one of the worst behaviours one can see coming from a veteran of Pakistani fashion industry. What do you guys think of Freiha’s behaviour and the fact that these people actually start a war if some other person subtly comments on their own fashion choices (which are not very commendable tbh)!
Karachi has been in news once again for street crime. Karachi is no doubt one of the most beautiful cities of Pakistan. It is the trade hub and the city of lights. But the city has suffered so much in the past decades. With the deteriorated law and order situations, target killings, fires and what not, the city has seen intolerable amounts of blood and sorrow. A lot has been controlled after the security forces operation in the city but the street crime is again on the rise.
Freiha Alaf was going back home after attending Fashion Week 2018 when she also became a victim of street crime, She was held along with her daughter by three young boys on a motorbike. The incident was naturally frightening but having her daughter with her at that time made it even more horrible. Freiha Altaf took to twitter and shared the incident:
Freiha asked people to cooperate with the forces as she demanded a swift cleanup of street crime in Karachi.
Safety should be the first concern of the government and crime should be controlled before anything. Freiha’s demand is totally legit and the government should take notice of the increasing crime as soon as possible!
CEO of Catwalk Event Management and Productions, Freiha Altaf is a lady who is always in news for one thing or another. This time it is for workplace harassment. A former intern at her agency Neha Kewalramani took to Facebook where she told people about Freiha’s alleged mistreatment of her employees. She shared her story and how she was emotionally tortured and insulted while she was working for the firm. This is what she had to say:
She also attached the copy of E-mail she has sent out to Freiha:
FreihaAltaf, however, denied the allegations. She spoke to The Express Tribune where she categorically denied all the allegations and also wishes Neha best for future endeavours:
“Rather unfortunate and sad that a young, inexperienced intern should turn to social media rather than talk to her line manager to express her views. The intern is a young lady who is supposed to report and submit her work in a timely way. Bypassing her manager, she would directly submit her work to me which naturally was not always up to mark. She was hired by the manager, not me. Interns do not get official desks as they are temporary. The lady in question did not complete her work on time, came and went as desired. When her work was done well, she received appreciation as well which she forgets to mention. A slave is someone who is owned by someone and not paid for services. My employees work very hard, long hours as is the nature of our job. That is what our clients expect from us and appreciate. My employees are exceptional. Some of them have been with me over 15 years. I’m a perfectionist and I drive them to be the best they are. Many have gone on to open their own businesses and many have come back on their own will.”
Deepika Padukone In Saree | 27 Types of Sarees You Will Love
The most commonly heard phrase of this decade is that “Don’t judge others” along with “Live and let live” and still; this is the era of extreme terrorism, racism, intolerance and judgment. Society has double standards and this becomes visible every now and then. Anything which is not right for others will become right if they themselves are doing it.
The internet was shaken and the whole world was seen talking about only one topic last week and yes you guessed it right: Its Mahira Khan! For those who were living under some rock, some pictures of Mahira Khan surfaced last week on the internet where she was wearing a backless dress and was smoking somewhere in NYC with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor. Many schools of thoughts emerged and millions of opinions surfaced within few minutes of the publication of those pictures. Mahira Khan is the reigning queen of Pakistan entertainment industry and has a huge fan following so naturally people came to her rescue and start shutting out the trolls and all the others who had different opinions than theirs.
I can never understand people calling actresses inappropriate names and sticking taglines like “ye dekhein Saba Qamar ne sabb haddein paar karr dein” with their pictures. No one has the right to abuse a woman just because she is working in the media industry. But it is not possible that they will not be judged. When you work on a public platform and people praise you and love you, be prepared for the criticism too since you have placed yourself for public judgment. Mahira’s case is not the first one in the industry. Actresses have faced a lot of criticism from time to time about their choices. Veena Malik and Mathira are criticized for their roles and the way they present themselves; Veena is still under fire for her past choices. Meera has been a part of too many scandals including about three marriages (not sure about the exact number). Qandeel Baloch was bashed left and right not only by the society but by stars too. Many people criticize Humaima Malick and Mehwish Hayat mostly due to their bold dressing. Actresses have been criticized for doing item numbers too.
In the controversy surrounding Mahira Khan, many points were raised. People had issues with her smoking which was addressed by the fact that since her lungs will be affected in the long run and it does not harm others; let her do what she wants to. According to me, this argument is legit since this is completely a health-related issue but if any actress who is criticized by the audience had been seen smoking like that, would people still consider it as a health-related issue? If it was Mawra in place of Mahira, I can bet people would have crushed her by calling names like cocaine and bullying her to the end of this world. People had issues with her dressing too. She is an actress and they do wear revealing clothes, she is not the only one to do it. Yes true enough! But what people were doing on social media while supporting her? “Abb kya who hijab karr ke ghoomay” Is hijab something to look down upon? What about your earlier speech of ITS HER CHOICE, Doesn’t other girls have the choice to wear hijab? Who are you to passively criticize modest dressing just to prove your favourite celebrity is right! Humaima Malick is criticized nearly every other day for wearing short dresses. So since people don’t think of her as their household Khirad, she has no freedom of choice and her wearing skimpy dresses will affect Islam. Coming to her presence with Ranbir Kapoor, people need to understand it was less about Mahira’s character and more about Ranbir’s since everyone knows he is a playboy. And even after all the fiasco, he didn’t say that they are just friends and not dating. His words were that ‘he came to know Mahira in a personal capacity and she is a wonderful person’. How people forgot that this is the same society who still bullies Imran Khan on marrying Jemima even after she converted to Islam and criticized the hell out of Veena Malik on her relationship with Ashmit Patel. Ranbir is also a Non-Muslim like Ashmit and if dating him was wrong for Veena, the same goes for Mahira too.
Mahira Khan is an adult, a woman who has made a name for herself and she has made us proud at countless occasions too but if Saba Qamar’s ghagra choli was bad for Hamza Ali Abbasi than Mahira’s dress should fall in the same category. I know he only clarified about the mark on her back but if it was someone who is a not a friend of his; he would definitely have criticized her. If Qandeel’s clothes were not modest for Momina Mustehsan, Mahira’s dress should have concerned her too but as we saw all celebrities stand with someone who has a massive fan following and look down on the less popular ones if they are doing the same stuff.
For anyone who thinks I hate Mahira or something; No! I like her a lot but the fact remains if it would have been someone else in place of Mahira, people would have other thoughts and names which should never ever be used for anyone. And like Humaima tweeted “Selective kindness is not kindness at all.” And it is high time people understand that if something is wrong when a person you don’t like do it, it will be wrong if someone you like or you yourself do it!
Ohkay so, Fraud definitely keeps on getting better & the credit most certainly goes to the actors who have put their heart & soul into their performances. It won’t be wrong to say that the story of Fraud is predictable & as a viewer, I clearly know what is going to happen in the upcoming episodes, but the way it has been executed, directed & performed definitely makes it one such drama that I actually look forward to every week. I also feel, it was a wise move to air double episodes this week & I hope it continues this way because the note at which the first episode ended definitely made me sigh with relief that there was another episode left which actually meant a fast progress in the story.
It won’t be wrong to say that Mehmood Aslam & Saba Qamar have carried this drama on their shoulders. So far, they have been the main characters that have gotten the utmost coverage therefore their performances have so far left an impact. However, I am glad that Tabrez/Sajih’s side of the story is also being unfolded & the focus has now shifted on what goes behind the scenes, how they plan these ‘projects’ & also the tensions between them. Each one of them also gave a very strong performance & it was actually quite interesting to see their dynamic with Sajih feeling entitled to more than he gets & Jahan Ara taking the credit for training him.
I don’t think there would be a single viewer of Fraud who doesn’t sympathize with Maya. I actually feel pity on her because she has such unreasonable set of parents who put themselves above anything else. Maya hasn’t even recovered from Tabrez’s betrayal but somehow, Nisar & Shehnaz thought it was a good idea to literally get rid of Maya in the name of honor & ‘izzat’. They actually think allowing Maya the time to heal & recover was not even an option & all that they had to do was get her married so that they can feel at ease. It is unfortunate that although I do feel sad for what the entire family has gone through & the loss they have dealt with, but despite all of that, Maya’s parents are simply selfish for not even acknowledging what Maya wants & imposing their perspective of face-saving on her. It was heartbreaking to hear Maya asking for a space in her parents’ house where all she could do was just be at peace, confined from the outside world but even that was difficult for Nisar. Initially, I felt a lot for her parents too, but seeing how rigid & unreasonable they have been, I do not sympathize with them at all. The self-imposed pressure of the society has got the better of them & it is unfortunate that despite the strength Maya & even Maila have shown is unable to make them understand that ‘marriage’ is not going to solve any of their problems.
Maya did try her best to resist but to see her surrendering to Nisar & Shehnaz’s unreasonable demands was saddening. It was like she literally gave up because she knew she did not stand a chance in front of her irrational parents. No matter how they put it, like wanting the best for Maya but the point is, she has suffered enough because of Nisar’s greed, therefore she should be left alone for some time at least. From forcing Maya to meet strangers & then shoving the idea of her marriage to Nayel was distasteful, that too when she clearly told how burdened she felt with the idea of getting married to Nayel.
Nayel clearly let his mother know that he was not in a favor of this marriage. He too was heart-broken & more than that, he couldn’t bring himself to respect Nisar enough to do anything that would help him in any way. While watching these episodes, I thought to myself how unreasonable these parents were where not even for a second they respected their children’s wish & thought it was a good idea to impose their decisions on them – that too when they’re of the age where they can make certain decisions themselves. Shazia clearly ignored Nayel’s aloofness & thought she would sweettalk him into this marriage, which once again showed how she was just like Nisar – out of touch with reality & turning a blind eye to her child’s wish. Shazia herself saw how heartbroken Nayel was & it wasn’t because he was unable to get married to Maya but purely because of the things Nisar said to him, the way he put him down & made him feel worthless. All of this would not have happened if Shazia has at least tried to understand where Nayel was coming from & why he was least interested in his wedding to Maya.
Maya’s assessment of Nayel’s behavior & how he would always have an upper-hand on her if she got married to him was spot on. Once again, it clearly shows that Maya is far mature than her parents & she is not hopelessly hopeful, in fact she is practical & has the ability to see people for who they are. She knew Nayel was hurt & most certainly did not want him to be forced into this marriage. Right from the beginning she had an idea that this was going to be extremely difficult for him but sadly, no one cared. In the end, hearing Nisar blaming Nayel for all of this was not very convincing. He definitely should be the last person blaming anyone else for his daughter’s misery. The entire wedding sequence, like the preparations & then the conversations related to it & later with Nayel not showing up was done really well. It was executed brilliantly & the emotions were captured just perfectly. I really want to see Maya putting her foot down & not allowing anyone dictate her life for her. Although I know that she will eventually get married to Shaan but I hope it happens with her will & she is not yet again not forced into this marriage.
On Sajih’s front, Khawar is definitely quite laid back, therefore he is on good terms with his all of his team members but when it comes to Sajih & Jahan Ara, there is definitely a tussle & a lot of tensions especially when it comes to power-sharing. Jahan Ara seems to be the boss leading this entire gang but Sajih finds it hard to accept. Being at the forefront of every ‘project’ he feels a lot more entitled & thinks he leads it all but the truth is, none of it is possible without an effort of every single team member. This is definitely Sajih’s weakness & it kind of showed that this might be his undoing where he will eventually try to do something on his own & will end up getting caught. It is also interesting that despite having their complete information & bio data, the police has been unable to catch them. It is not like their victims did not get in touch with the police at all, therefore some kind of police intervention was definitely needed to make it a little more interesting.
So far, Fraud definitely stands out for its extremely convincing performances. The director has been able to capture the essence of emotions in each & every scenario, that is exactly what makes it such an interesting experience to watch Fraud. Mehmood Aslam & Saba Qamar have outdid themselves in this drama. I thoroughly enjoyed Ainy Zaidi & Ahsan Khan’s performance too although their screen-time was limited. Adnan Samad Khan was also quite impressive & so was Rabya Kulsoom. Saba Qamar is known for styling her characters perfectly but this time around, the usage of wig has definitely been a big distraction because it just doesn’t suit her & adds more age to the character that she is playing. In almost all the scenes that wig sticks out like a sore thumb & takes away from the overall look of the character. Fraud is definitely a must-watch drama of this season & I can not wait to see the rest of the story unfold. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Fraud.
