Atiqa Odho is the perfect epitome of women empowerment. Not only she has survived people’s judgmental comments but also started her entrepreneurial journey—her own cosmetic brand and her production company.

She was born in 1960, started her career her as makeover artist and hair stylist. While working, she was recognized by Anwar Maqsood. She had her acting debut in Anwar Maqsood’s play, Sitara Aur Mehrunissa in 1993. In 1995, she made her film debut in Jo Darr Gya Woh Marr Gya.

However, the quote, “All that glitter is not gold” has the perfect fit here. Having a perfect life on the front doesn’t mean personal life is all good and sound. She had a rough past; she got married at the early age of 15. She tied knots with Javed Khund. The marriage contract lasted 10 years and she has two children from her 1st marriage, a son and a daughter,

She tied the knots second time with an American businessman while in her 20s. They soon parted their ways and the marriage ended with a divorce.

The third time she married to Samar Ali Khan, a Pakistani politician who had been a Member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from May 2013 to May 2018,in July 2012 and until now, they are a ‘Lived Happily Ever After’ couple.

AtiqaOdho is not an inspiration for women entrepreneurs but also a philanthropist, contributing her services to Shaukat Khanam Cancer Memorial Hospital and Fatmeed Foundation.

After several famous sister duos, like Sajal&Saboor, Mawra&Urwa, and many more, here comes another up-and-coming sister duo: UroosaQureshi&MehwishQureshi.

Unlike many sisters, Mehwish and Uroosa resemble each other a lot. Like her sister, Mehwish too has started her career in acting and played roles in Zakham and Mere Baba kiOonchi Haveli. Her sister Uroosa is a well-known actress and model and one of many popular faces in the industry. She is best known for her roles in MeenuKaSusral, Daagh and SartajMeraTuRaajMera for which she was nominated for Best Soap Actress at 4th Hum Awards. Uroosa is happily married to actor Bilal Qureshi.

Mehwish got recently married and her wedding pictures looked beautiful. She is currently a young and fresh talent in the industry and there’s a long way ahead of her. We wish her all the very best for her future.

Pakistani industry is a witness of second marriages over decades. We see many couples, who once had a relationship one can adore, split into seconds and tying a knot to someone else in a couple of months. When a couple decides to split up, the news spread like a wildfire, leaving fans disappointed and disheartened.

The similar is the story of Sarwat Gillani, who is a popular actor and have worked in successful drama and film projects. The lesser-known fact about her life is her past: before Fahad, Sarwat was briefly married to Omer Saleem in 2005, but unfortunately, their marriage didn’t last long and they parted their ways in 2008.

Omer Saleem is the brother of the famous TV personality, Ali Saleem aka Begum Nawazish Ali. The reason of divorce, according to various news sources, is that their relationship didn’t work out and that she was not happy with him. However, now she feels lucky to be with Mirza and couldn’t be happier.

In 2014, after a long friendship period, Sarwat Gillani tied knots with Fahad Mirza. He, aside from his profession as a plastic surgeon, is an actor and model, too. He is best known for his debut role in Essa in 2012 drama serial Bari Apa. The couple tied knots and is living a happy life with their two baby boys.

Matches are made in heaven, and the one who’s your destiny, will definitely find way to you no matter the circumstances.

Turkish dramas have a huge fan following in Pakistan; people drool over Turkish plots and actors more than the local drama serials. One can watch Turkish dramas with Urdu dubbing on many popular local entertainment channels.

Ever wondered who are those talented people behind voice-overs? One of the most popular actresses had started her career by dubbing international drama serials, but little did she know her transitional journey is just ahead of her.

In an interview with the morning host Farah Khan, the ever-gorgeous actress, Sarah Khan shared how she had a career shift, but…it wasn’t easy.

She told, “I had dreamt of an acting career since childhood, but I ended up as a voice-over artist. Once, I got the chance to act in a project, but after that, I couldn’t work for another two years because I always thought it was something that required too much patience. But I realized I was always inclined towards acting since childhood. It was only then when I started and didn’t look back till date.”

One should always believe in one’s strength and abilities because a human is capable of much more than his own thoughts. Always believe in your dreams and never underestimate your talents and skills.

Shaista did not hesitate to answer any of the difficult questions which Yasir Hussain put forward. Some of the choices were hard but Shaista gave definite answers to all the questions.

Yasir Hussain asked Shaista that which morning show host does she enjoy gossiping about. Yasir also gave Shaista three options. These three options were – Nadia Khan, Sanam Baloch and Nida Yasir? Shaista thought for a second and then confessed that Nadia Khan was the morning show host she would like to gossip about. Javed Sheikh who was sitting with her enjoyed the situation. He made sure that he let Nadia Khan know that Shaista took her name!

Javed Sheikh got candid about his likes and dislikes when he was invited as a guest by Yasir Hussain on his show After Moon Show With Yasir. When Yasir Hussein asked Javed Sheikh who in his opinion is the kind of heroine today who he would have liked to work with when he was young, his reply was very interesting. He said that he preferred a heroine from the past as opposed to wanting to work then with someone from the present. He said that he wished that Neeli was still working or there was someone like Neeli now, who he could work with.

Yasir Hussain also gave Javed Sheikh three options and asked him choose one heroine of present day whom he would like to work with. These three options were Mehwish Hayat, Mahira Khan and Mawra Hocane. He choose Mehwish Hayat and Mahira Khan. Javed Sheikh also commented that he would like to be the only hero in this film with these two heroines.

We love Javed Sheikh’s humor and the fact that he is so full of life!

Noor Khan is the cutest addition to our drama industry. She has been part of many projects but is hardly seen sharing any details about her personal life on television. Whenever a celebrity comes to Samina Peerzada’s show, they show that side of their personality which no one has seen before. Samina Peerzada gives all the celebrities the kind of comfort level which no other talk show host does.

This is why the viewers get to see that side of these celebrities personalities which they have never seen before. This time when Noor Khan came to Samina Peerzada’s show, she started crying while she was sharing a personal grief. The promo of this show is emotional. It is definitely the kind of show which the viewers are bound to tune in to. After doing a memorable talk show with Hina Altaf recently, it seems like this beautiful host is going to give us another memorable show. When everything is coming straight from the heart the audience find it easier to relate to it as well.

Here is a short promo of Noor Khan’s conversation with Samina Peerzada. We can’t wait to watch this one.
