The number of films coming out from Pakistani cinema is increasing day by day. Many new faces are coming in every walk of filmmaking and people have just fallen in love with the new wave of cinema. With many hits though is also coming a string of flops. People are experimenting with different genres and getting creative with their projects.

Another film is all ready to hit the silver screens soon and it consists of a whole new team. The film is produced by Zeekay Films who have been involved in making dramas before this and now are venturing towards cinema with their movie Talash. Talash has Mustafa Qureshi, Adnan Tipu, Noaman Sami, Faria Hassan, Ahmed Zeb, Salim Mairaj and Humaira Bano included in the cast. Talash is social issue based film and it will show the problem of malnutrition prevailing in our rural areas.

The film is directed by debutant director Zeeshan Khan and looks like a promising project!

Sanam Chaudhary is one of the very underrated actresses of Pakistan. She is beautiful, she is gorgeous and she is filled with talent. Sanam has done many kinds of characters and she knows how too show versatility. SHe can do everything perfectly, even if it is overall crying and drama or it is a role filled with wickedness and hate, Sanam knows how to perfectly make herself look the character and not herself.

Sanam has an eye for good projects and her dramas are always the favourites among the viewers. She has given back to back hits in the year 2018. With the cruel Anji in Ghar Titli Ka Parr she became the ultimate vamp of Pakistani dramas, she is doing a great job in Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai and she is also a part of Haiwan. Sanam is in all the chartbuster dramas of the season and thus one of the most successful actresses. She has teased her fans with the glimpses of another upcoming project. She was dressed in bridals and was looking amazing in the BTS photos she shared. Here have a look at the pictures:

Isn’t Sanam looking just stunning? The girl sure knows how to rock a bridal!

Earlier Pepsi was known for the Battle of Bands and now it also has the Battle of Brands. Brand war is a thing worldwide. Different brands try to put each other down and this time the war is between soft drink giant Pepsi and travelling company Careem. Careem is known for its quirky promos and funny punch lines. They use social media and engage their followers immensely.

So someone asked Careem to give them a promo code instead of offers to win smartphones. Careem got in some fun mode and replied back where they offered them a free Pepsi in place of a promo code:

Pepsi was not happy with the above tweet and have their own answer to hit back with:

Careem then replied to Pepsi as their first tweet was just a joke and they asked Pepsi that they are being extra sensitive:

Pepsi was not happy with Careem’s reply and hit back with the threat of a legal notice to the company:

Previously it was between chai or coffee and now its Careem and Pepsi. Brand wars are becoming a norm in Pakistan too. Let’s see whether Careem now lets the threat go or will they be replying back!

If you watch any Pakistani channel, be it an entertainment channel or any news channel, you are familiar with the classic Nanhi Pari advertisement. The one where a girl on her wedding day keeps remembering all her memories with her father while sitting on a mattress. The advertisement finally got revamped and this time our new Nanhi Pari is none other than Mahira Khan. Adnan Siddiqui played the role of her Baba Jani and he ages from young to old and different phases of her life along with her daughter are shown.

The advertisement is super emotional and many daughters will feel the love they have for their fathers. Adnan Siddiqui is fabulous as he changes his acting along with his look for the said advertisement. People though loved the concept of the ad and praised Adnan were not so sure about casting Mahira Khan. They started trolling her and age shaming her on social media and the reaction on the advertisement turned quite not as expected. Some were also rooting for Sajal to would have to be the better choice for playing Nanhi Pari. Here is how people are reacting:

Internet never forgives anyone. Sajal has already played Adnan’s daughter recently in the Bollywood film Mom and that made people think about her to be the better choice!

Earlier we had reported that Neray Aa singer Hamayun Farhad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had confirmed the news saying, “It was about two weeks ago that I was diagnosed with a brain tumour due to which I suffered a seizure. I have been lucky to find the greatest surgeon in the world to operate on me but it has not been easy,” he earlier wrote on social media. I thank you for your prayers and messages of love. I have had little or no symptoms until very recently – I am told by my doctor, my active and healthy lifestyle and general attitude of positivity have enabled me to stay strong underneath and I am recovering quickly.”

But the singer shared a good news on his Instagram that he has had a successful brain surgery which he labelled as life changing. The Overload frontman made his first ever public appearance after the surgery and he shared a picture of it on Instagram. The caption read, “I made my first public appearance in months last night – since my life changing surgery. Thanks to the powers that be and all my friends and fans for the love, energy, hugs, cheers and prayers.”

We are happy to see him back healthy and happy.

If there is one person who can give Amir Liaquat a run for his money then it has to be Waqar Zaka. He like the former is always in news and for all the wrong reasons. His controversial show on ARY Musik still rules the viral world. Every now and then a new video from his show’s audition appears and becomes viral. And of course who could forget the rumors of him getting married to Sanam Jung. It was the favorite gossip of its time. Also, his ‘Maine Apko Kya Bola Boss’  line became a huge hit when he got into a brawl at a restaurant.

But this time he isn’t in news for any such thing. Apparently, a Facebook page Times Of Karachi has reported that the host has been arrested by Karachi Police. Now, that in itself is a big shock to fans. Now you must be thinking why’s been arrested? So according to the FIR registered against him he was caught possessing Liquor and Sheesha.

Waqar has quit doing his TV show as he said that he did not wanted censorship to be imposed on him. He’s been active on his social media ever since. According to him the latter gives you enough freedom to express.

Angeline Malik is a an actor, director and a producer. She’s known for her strong women-centric dramas. She’s going a step farther to empower women. She just showed strong women on Tv by far but now she has decided to initiate a movement as an advocate to voicing relevant social issues in Pakistan.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpt79VenCIK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Inkaar Karo will be the first of a series of movements that will creatively depict strong women coming together to stand against suppression. She has previously talked on subjects like child abuse and violence against women on a local and international level at Appna and Wapna conference in the US.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BpjVFtQnu3U/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

She said, “This initiative ‘Inkaar Karo, Hum Tumhare Saath Hain’ says a lot. I have heard many stories and seen a lot due to the nature of my work. It’s hard to say no and it is even harder to speak up and make people believe you. I have brought together a group of strong women who feel the same as I do and we altogether want to convey the message that we hear you, we believe you and we will support you.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVK13_DZP-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

And now a video has been released which features almost every woman working in the showbiz industry to show support to every suppressed woman.

Ishq Tamasha was not a hit. In fact, it was a superhit serial of the year. It was the most surprising hit of the year as well. It did have a catchy story but I am sure the makers wouldn’t have thought that it would be a massive success. Seems like when the leads where black for the title sequence, it gets lucky for Hum TV. Humsafar was one such show and now Ishq Tamasha. Now that the latter is over and people are missing its cast. Aiman has already arrived with Baandi opposite Muneeb butt on Hum Tv. But the rest of the cast is coming with another Ishq Tamasha kind of a story.

Faizan Khwaja and Kinza Hashmi are returning from the original cast while the two new additions would be Sonya Mishal and Ali Kazmi. Promos have already caught the attention of the viewers are our giving major deja vu thrills. Promos instantly remind you of Ishq Tamasha. But Ishq Hai Tu is going to be a totally fresh take on love and relationships.

The cast and crew are shooting for the drama these days in Muree and they have shared some absolutely amazing pictures from the set. Kinza Hashmi looks gorgeous in a green top with a brown hat. And red lipstick has become her signature style. Audience seem to be in a for a treat as the BTS pictures are so good. We’re sure the drama is going to be even better.

Saba Qamar recently posted a picture on instagram in which she revealed a tattoo at the back of her neck. Everyone wanted to know what the tattoo meant since it looked like it was not decorative but it was something written in another language. Saba Qamar instantly replied and said that it was her own name Saba in Thai language.

Many Pakistani celebrities have started getting tattoos. Some of them have done so for decorative purposes and others have done so for bigger reasons. Like Hina Altaf’s tattoo is a way to let the world know about the man who saved her. People were perhaps expecting such a story from Saba Qamar as well but it looks like that is not the case.

Saba Qamar has reinvented herself many times and she always keeps on giving her fans something to look forward to. Right now, she is busy working on her next project which is a drama serial titled “Cheekh” in which she is cast opposite Bilal Abbas Khan. Saba Qamar is very active on instagram, she even replies to the answers which the people commenting ask her every now and then. She revealed the meaning of the tattoo while answering one such question.

We have been seeing Arisha Razi for very long on television. Her sitcom with Ahmed Ali Butt on Hum TV was a big hit. We hadn’t really gotten enough of Arisha that her older sister arrived. Mostly what happens is that the older siblings start working before but here it was different. Sara didn’t enter the scene until Arisha made a name for her as a child artist. Just when Sara appeared people started guessing that she could be Arisha’s sister as they look very similar and that was the case. Sara happened to be Arisha’s sister and that an elder one.

Sara’s career was perhaps short-lived as she got married to a banker cousin of her. Although, she is very young and still pursuing her education and was doing fairly well in the showbiz industry, she took a big step of getting married at very young age. Both sisters had also appeared on Sanam Jung’s Jago Pakistan Jago where the theme of the show was Sara Razi Khan’s bridal shower.

And now that wedding had happened, a much needed vacay was taken by the Razi sisters. Both have been updating fans with beautiful pictures they took during their vacation in the northern areas. These pictures look so beautiful and the two sisters make them look even better because they have got some cool poses.

Many people have to start off at very young age so that they can achieve heights by the time they are her age but that was not the case with Mariam Mirza who’s the latest addition to the entertainment industry. She is not 20 and had quit her high school to pursue her acting career rather she is in her 40s. But there is something that she has quit and that’s her salon. She was running her beauty salon before she ventured into acting and even before that she was a banker.

Mariam has made  a name for herself in a very short span of time. People take years to get noticed but she effortlessly switched from banking to make up because she thought that was her calling and then she was offered a project by Angeline Malik who was a regular customer of her beauty salon. It lead to numerous opportunities she’s had so far.

Mariam has been a part of 16 serials, 2 daily soaps and many telefilms. Now, achieves so much in just 3 years? Mariam did. And that has made her hangout with all the cool people in the industry.

Earlier we had reported that Noman Masood had celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Samreen Noman with a star studded bash where many couples from the industry were seen. Well one gorgeous woman we spotted was Mariam Mirza. She happened to attend the event with her husband and looked beautiful in her black outfit.

Saba Qamar is the most talented, versatile and stunning actress in the Pakistani industry. She has always worked her magic and knows how to impress people with her talent and persona. Saba Qamar was a class apart in her Bollywood debut film Hindi Medium. Then she got, even more, praises for her work in Baaghi where she portrayed the deceased social media starlet Qandeel Baloch with perfection. Saba Qamar praised Bilal Abbas Khan some time back and Bilal was overwhelmed on the words as he is a big fan of Saba’s work. Both the stars are now going to be seen in a drama together. This is going to be an interesting pairing. Bilal is already a part of a hit drama Balah on ARY.

Saba Qamar is shining on the sets of Cheekh. In some BTS pictures, she was seen wearing traditional ensembles and she looked simply like a vision. Saba was shining in the outfit with beautiful make up and her hair styled in curls. Here is how she stunned on the sets of Cheekh:

Saba Qamar definitely is a vision in this black outfit and the actress knows how to stand out in anything she chooses to wear!

Pakistani modelling industry has also developed a lot in the last decade. The models and designers have become famous public figures and people love their work now. Pakistani models have now worked at many international platforms and are part of International shoots and runways. They are also making way in the film industry due to their immense popularity.

Models Abeer Rizvi and Zara Abid are off to a surprise project and both are enjoying their trip immensely. Both the models wet for all black ensembles and looked totally confident in their skin. The models shared pictures from the places they visited to the food they ate and how they were enjoying together. Hee have a glimpse at Abeer Rizvi and Zara Abid’s trip:

Let us wait and see what these super models are up to and what we will see from them next!

One of the most loved couples of the entertainment industry, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are finally married. The couple has been dating for about 6 years now and they finally tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Italy at a villa at Lake Como. Their destination wedding was all sorts of beautiful and as expected the couple looked so in love and happy.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone married in a Konkoni style ceremony. Both were dressed up in red and white Sabyasachi ensembles and looked lovely. After the wedding ceremony, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are back in Mumbai for their Greh Pravesh ceremony. Both were clad in traditional ensembles and the couple looked so in love and beautiful. They waved to their fans who were present to welcome the newlyweds at the airport. Here are some pictures of the couple arriving at the airport and at their residence:

We wish both Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh a very happy married life ahead!

Siblings prove to be lucky for the entertainment industry. Twins prove to be even luckier. For example, Aiman and Minal. They have become a rage. But there is another pair of twins who are as good. They are Hammad Farooqui and Faraz Farooqui. Two handsome twins who do not just appear in hit dramas but also remain in news for their personal life. They got married and broke many hearts and now they both have had babies and we are in love with the cuties.

The two often upload their pictures with their babies and they are too cute. We had reported that Faraz had welcomed a baby a girl and he shared a picture saying, “One of the greatest gift we’ve ever gotten in our life.” He named his daugher Hooram Hammad.

Later Hammad had shared a picture of his baby boy on Instagram saying, “The first touch of our newborn is one of the most precious moment of our life. The moment they are born brings the thrill of amazement. It brings a smile on our face which never fades away.”

The two had appeared on Sanam Jung’s morning show Jago Pakistan Jago with their wives and their elder brothers. Although, both are good looking men still they have married out of the entertainment industry. Well, we wish their kids healthy and happy lives.

Justin was dating Selena Gomez on and off when he finally chose supermodel Hailey Baldwin over the songstress. They have dating for quite sometime now. In July this year, the couple had confirmed via Instagram that they were engaged.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmhM7DwBL1l/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Hailey had revealed that she pictured her wedding in the woods with “lights strung everywhere”. We wonder if that has happpened because unlike many this seemed to be a hush hush affair. In September this year , rumor mill was abuzz about Justin and Hailey acquiring a marriage license at a New York courthouse. Even Ireland Baldwin, Hailey’s cousin, didn’t know if the two were married at that time. However, the supermodel had later rubbished the news on Twitter but then deleted it. According to US Weekly a fan had inquired the couple in October if they are married and they had said yes.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNbWX5nj2J/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

And now according to Elle magazine the couple have made it official. Justin posted a picture on Instagram with a caption, “My wife is awesome” and Baldwin changed her name from Hailey Baldwin to Hailey Bieber. Well, that’s quite a confirmation that the two are married. I’m sure most of Justin’s fan must be happy seeing him get married to the beautiful model. And some must be sad as it is a full stop to our thoughts of Justin and Selena reuniting again.

Weddings and Cricket are the most saleable things in Pakistan. Now imagine what their combination would be like? Pakistani people’s hearts beat with cricket and wedding is the sole purpose of people’s life in Pakistan. Jokes apart, we actually came across a wonderful combination of cricket and wedding of late.

Islamabad United are an ace team in the PSL. They have won the game more than any other game and their kit is something we love to wear. But that’s not all that this team is good at. Their manager, since he is managing a cricket team must be a cricket aficionado, too his love for the game to another level. The General Manager of Islamabad United had a theme-based wedding and it was awesome. Starting new innings of his life, Rehan ul Haq, the team manager of 2 times PSL winner, had a big fat wedding last night that brought together the whole Islamabad United squad, with the exception of few, and the gentlemen were dressed up in red, the theme of their team kit!

Mohammad Irfan, Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees, Hussain Talat and others attended the wedding.

This may not have been the most high profile wedding but it certainly was the coolest wedding.

Who’s the hottest girl in the world? Desi girl. Yes and you know who the real desi girl is. She’s made it big in Hollywood after reigning in Indian film industry. She won the Miss world contest and has been winning at everything ever since. She herself is getting married too. She’s sold her wedding pictures for whopping $2.5 Million and why make money go wasted? She thought of making a couple of more millions by doing a performance.

It was reported that “Who run the world” singer Beyonce will perform at Isha Ambani and Anand Primal’s wedding. Isha and Anand’s wedding is a 3rd high profile wedding this year after Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas’ and Deepika Paduokone-Ranveer Singh’s. Inviting big names to perform at high profile weddings is norm. But this time some biggest names are going to perform at what’s probably India’s most expensive wedding this year.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpt_jwNHQZW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Earlier there were reports that Priyanka Chopra, who’s close to the Ambanis, will be performing at Isha’s Sangeet. But guess what, there’s a slight twist in all those rumours doing rounds on the internet. A source close to the actress recently informed that she will not be doing a solo performance at the wedding but a group one. The source told, “Priyanka will be performing with Isha’s friends at the wedding and not alone. This one will be a group performance and they have already started practices for the act and other Bollywood celebs will also join Priyanka in this.”

Mahira Khan and Adnan Siddiqui have starred together but not in any drama or film but in an advertisement campaign. Both the stars have come together and have replaced the old classic Meri Nanhi Pari ad of molty foam with their take on it. Mahira Khan is looking stunning in the ad in a beautiful lehenga and elegantly done makeup but who has shown the real transformation is our very own Adnan Siddiqui.

Adnan Siddiqui goes from the young father to old and it has been shown in his appearance too. He has been turned partially bald and his hair is turned grey for this campaign. The overall look of the advertisement is very emotional and shows how a father feels when he marries off his daughter. Here is how the superstar duo is looking in the ad:

This is the advertisement where Mahira is playing the new face of Nanhi Pari:

Adnan Siddiqui sure looks unrecognizable in this one!

One couple that has definitely gone through pacific sized ups and down in their relationship are boxer Amir Khan and his wife, the Instagram model Faryal Makhdoom. Amir and Faryal finally reconciled after a huge fight when Faryal was expecting a baby. The couple already had a beautiful daughter together but the birth of their second daughter brought them together. They have travelled the world together and have been special guests on so many occasions.

So, Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom went to Saudia Araba for a visit and Amir embraced his inner Saudi when he got there. He paid respect to the Saudi culture in his way when he wore their traditional outfit. The couple then also performed Umran together and it was their first time performing Umran with each other. Faryal was super excited as she had previously performed Umran with her parents and was happy to do it with her life partner this time. Here are some pictures from their trip to Saudi Arabia:

A huge congratulations to Amir Khan and Frayal Makhdoom on performing Umrah from our side!

The Sharif Family has been going through quite a tough time for the past year or so. They got a huge blow politically when the head of the family, the ex-prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was de-seated. Then both father and daughter went through trial and were arrested. Between all this political crisis, the biggest set back came when the matriarch of the Sharif family Begum Kulsoom Nawaz went seriously ill. She was admitted to the hospital where she was undergoing treatment for cancer.

The former first lady though responded to the treatment initially but did not survive and dies in London due to extreme illness. Junaid Safdar, the only son of Maryam Nawaz Sharif loved his grandmother a lot. In a recent gathering, he recited a Sufiyana Kalam and dedicated it to his late grandmother. This is how indulged in the words he was:

Wherever you are, whatever you have become and whomever you work with, it is family that makes you come back to life, gets you stress-free and makes you love yourself. Mawra Hocane is at the peak of her career right now. She is the face of many brands and has been doing great in that department. Mawra also debuted in Bollywood with Sanam Teri Kasam and increased her fan following to millions. She has also made a successful debut in the Pakistani cinema with the superhit Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 opposite none other than Fahad Mustafa.

Mawra’s television career is also not behind anything. Her Aangan which is hands down the most anticipated drama of the recent history is all set to debut on Hum Tv and is already getting a lot of praises for its powerful teasers. The actress went to Australia to spend some quality time with her family among all her commitments and from the pictures it seems she had a great trip. Here have a look for yourself:
