Here is a list of Biggest Controversies of 2024 from Pakistani Showbiz Industry:
Sana Javed & Shoaib Malik Wedding
Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik took the internet by storm the day they shared the news of their Nikkah. The stars are big names in their respective fields and this was a big shock for not only Pakistanis but also Indians. Many people initially thought that their wedding picture was actually from some shoot but the news was confirmed and the wedding was under discussion everywhere.
What led to controversy in this otherwise normal wedding was how the two stars never confirmed their previous separation. The day their marriage was announced shocked people as they thought Shoaib Malik was married to Sania Mirza, the Indian tennis star while Sana Javed was still with Umair Jaswal. The separation was later on confirmed by other parties and all of this combined resulted in mega backlash for both Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed.
Behroze Sabzwari’s Interview With FHM
Behroze Sabzwari is a veteran actor of the industry. He has been a big name in dramas for four decades now. He has been recognized by the public and government both and he is also applauded for the way he has kept his family close and settled despite his son’s first divorce.
The veteran actor got into controversy when he spoke about the former Prime Minister and currently the most famous political leader of the country Imran Khan in an interview with FHM. He was talking in broken points when he said that he has allegedly had a drink with Imran Khan. He also added that Imran Khan is an honest man and not financially corrupt but the drinking bit went viral and was used in an awful manner over the internet. Behroze Sabzwari also announced to take legal action against the clip which did not materialize.
Another huge controversy that took over the internet for several days was Sahil Adeem, Khalil ur Rehamn Qamar and Azba Abdullah’s fight from Mukalma hosted by Ayesha Jahanzeb. Azba, a girl who was also an employee of Samaa asked Sahil Adeem to apologize to women for calling them illiterate. Instead of apologizing, Sahil Adeem went on to justify his own stance and started asking the girl about the meaning of Taghut. This turned into a huge debate and meme war on the internet.
Khalil ur Rehman Qamar also got involved in the fight and started insulting the girl who was asking for an apology. He got even more furious than Sahil Adeem and the show went viral overnight.
Here is what went down:
Ayesha Jahanzeb Domestic Violence Case
Ayesha Jahanzeb is a very famous host and actress. She is also an educationist who later joined the media and she was able to carve out a place for herself.

Ayesha was brave enough to come forward with her ordeal. She let the case of domestic violence go as children are involved but she has filed for divorce and she has been vocal against abuse that women face at the hands of their own men.
Ayesha is moving forward in life and being strong for her children but seeing such a strong woman as a victim was a shock for society and also a reflection of reality.

Also, I did the movie because I thought that I should try acting in films. They narrated a good story to me but it turned out to be something else. I didn’t do any homework, it was my debut, the male lead also made his debut through this film, he came from Canada. I got disappointed after watching it. At that time, I didn’t have any idea of reading the script before doing a movie. I admit that my followers didn’t come, I admit that people only come for a good storyline, sometimes Shahrukh Khan’s films don’t work. A lot of our big actors give flops, it’s all about script”

People think that he or she is very successful but they don’t know the struggles behind it, I am not that successful but even the A grade actors text to producers for work. People think that I don’t text anyone for the work. I often go to other producers for auditions and they say you are the producer’s brother, why do you need the work but the thing is that I am a freelance actor. I also text the producers for work, I won’t probably bribe them or take them to the dinners but I will directly talk about work. I sometimes text to my brother for work, I ask for work as an actor”.
