Haissam Hussain is one of the most talented directors of the Pakistani entertainment industry. He has given countless hits including Dastaan, Dur e Shehwar and Aik Nayi Cinderella. With the advent of web series and them becoming a hit formula, Pakistanis are also venturing into the idea. Haissam Hussain will be directing two web shows for an international platform.
One of the projects is written by the talented writer Rida Bilal who has also penned down dramas like Be Inteha and Khudgarz. The cast of both the web shows is still under the warps and has not been revealed yet. One of the stories is a period love story and we know, no one makes them better than Haissam looking at his work in Dastaan. The other will be a mystery and not much about it is out yet.
This is great to see our talent venturing and branching out into different things and making Pakistan proud with their creativity at so many levels. Let us wait and see who will be eventually a part of both the series and how are they going to go for people!

Going with a shorter length is the go-to haircut for most girls, especially in this hot weather. But what happens after you go short? Mostly crying! Yes that is true. A lot of girls end up regret going short mostly because they think there is not much hair styling involved once you go short.
Opting for shorter locks does not mean your styling will be limited. Here is our list of hairstyles you can make with short hair. Enjoy these style ideas:
Hair clip trend
The hair clips have made a comeback from the 90’s era and are a fuss free look to sport. Push your hair back from the side by using two or more hair clips for a fun, edgy look. Alternatively, you can buy a pack of multicolored bobby pins and make a hashtag shape to make your hairstyle stand out. The hashtag is the most trending hairstyle these days and looks flattering especially on short hair. Don’t be afraid to use more than one clip and align them to secure more hair, instead of trying to jam and close a bunch of hair into just one clip. It’s all about having fun with the look.
Headbands
Another peppy and quirky look which never goes out of trend is wearing headbands. Headbands add sass to your hair and make you look younger especially if you have short hair. Now in updated fabrics, textures, and styles, the classiest hair item is officially back on trend. Channel your inner Blair Waldorf (or just hide bad hair days) with this accessory. (Xanax)
Side swept braids
Braids have always been in fashion, whether you wear them casually or in a more formal manner. A side swept braid keeps the hair away from your face and is extremely chic. My most favorite side swept braid is the waterfall braid. A waterfall braid is the perfect romantic hairstyle for any occasion and is really easy to master once you get the hang of it.
Curls
Having short hair does not mean that it needs to he straightened all the time, you even curl it. There are numerous ways to curl short hair. You can use a flat iron or curling wand. Always remember to curl away from your face and not inwards. Secondly, do not curl without using a heat protectant as heat styling can damage your hair. Thirdly, if you curl all the way down to the ends, the style will end up looking constricted and a little bit dated. But leave the ends out, and you’ll get that effortless effect. Voila, you’re good to go!
Beach waves
Beach waves are effortless, look natural and flatter almost every hairstyle. Acquiring beach waves might seem like a daunting task but some don’t even require heat styling. It is as simple as it looks. While your hair is still wet, just twist hair into two knots, secure them in place with pins, then wait it out until they’re dry. Leave them overnight and open your hair in the morning and see the magic. That’s it, you are good to go!
Winter and shadi season comes hand in hand, if you’re looking for great hairdos to sport, you’ve come to the right place because we have just the list ready for you. Read on for hairdos to rock at weddings this shadi season:
Twisted braids and loose hairdo
Twisted braids and loose hairdo is one trend that never go out of style. It’s a young, fresh and fun look to sport especially on weddings. It is also extremely easy to do as you have to only twist your hair into braids on both sides and pin them properly. You can leave the rest of the hair straight or curl them with a straightener, curlers or blowdry them, whichever look you desire. This look is perfect to sport on a mayun or dholki.
Fishtail braid
The fishtail braid is a classy hairstyle which looks good with any attire, be it western or eastern. Add in some flowers and you have your perfect wedding hairdo to sport. Fishtail braids look good on both the bride and attendees on a mayun or mehndi event.
Messy Bun
The messy bun is a look which you can sport on almost any event, be it a lunch, a casual outing or even a wedding. To make this look, all you need do is to tie your hair in a loose ponytail and twist the hair and wrap it around in a loose bun. Just pull some strands out to give that messy look and you are good to go. It is a perfect hairstyle as it you won’t be much bothered of it going much out of place.
Floral messy bun
If you’re really looking to make a statement this shadi season, than add some flowers to your messy bun to stand out in the crowd.
Sleek Bun
A sleek bun goes really well with sarees and gowns and at the same time makes you look sophisticated and classy. Sleek buns are usually sported at walima functions by ladies wanting to make a statement. Tie your hair in a beautiful sleek bun and rock the look at any wedding function.
Pair your bun with some trendy jhumkas or statement earrings to finish off the look.
High Ponytail
The high ponytail is an effortless look to wear on the barat or walima event. It looks great with a classic saree and is easy to do. Back comb your hair slightly while you tie your hair up in a ponytail and cover the hairband with a strand of hair so as to conceal it. Your classy and fabulous look is sorted.
Outward curly blow dry
If you really want to leave your hair open then go for wavy blow dried hair, it is pretty simple to do and you can easily do it yourself at home while it can accompany any of your outfit. Make sure to spray your hair with a good hair spray so that the hairdo holds in place till the event lasts. Simple, Effortless and chic.
Your hair is the best accessory you own. From short hairstyles and low-maintenance haircuts to layered haircuts, there are just so many styles to choose from. Remember your hair is to have fun with and experiment with because it’ll always grow back. And isn’t it nice to always try something new? Here’s a list of haircuts to sport:
Bob
A bob cut or bob is a short to medium length haircut in which the hair is typically cut straight or in a V position around the head at about jaw-level, often with a fringe at the front. Stylish and always in fashion, the standard bob sits just above the shoulders. It leaves the hair looking full of life and volumized. Bob cuts flatter women of all ages and face cuts.
Lob
A lob or long bob is a form of haircut which is variant of a bob cut. The length of a lob is between long hair and a bob cut. Lobs are the one cut that somehow flatters virtually all hair types and face shapes. They are a fuss free look to sport, easy to style.
Pixie cut
A variant of the crop, a pixie cut is not your everyday haircut and only those who dare to be different can rock this uncoventional haircut. A pixie cut is a short hairstyle generally short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top and very short bangs. You can even opt for sideswept bangs if you are not a fan of short fringes.
Long layers
Layered haircut adds volume to your hair as some parts of hair is cut short and some is kept longer for illusion of length. This type of haircut works for almost all face shapes and hair textures. It is easy to style especially when blowdried, hair looks shiny and bouncy. It is also one of the most safest and conventional haircuts these days.
Side bangs/Fringes
Side bangs and fringes can be added to any and almost all hairstyles. Side bangs add volume while blending into your hair. They also make you look younger, but remember always to blowdry them inwards to give a volumized finish otherwise they’ll just look clumsy and unflattering.
Brush back
With its uniquely tousled appearance, it’s becoming one of the year’s most iconic mens hairstyles. In this hairstyle, the hair on the top is styled in an upward messy quiff like style. The sides and back of the hair is cut in an undercut or really short manner.
Buzz cut
This one has to be the quintessential mens look out there. Buzz cut styles can make the face look more defined and are immensely popular with men and boys who want a short, low-maintenance hairstyle especially for those with thinning or receding hairlines. Buzzcuts are easy to maintain as they require little to no maintenance and can be trimmed easily at home using an electric razor.
Who hasn’t had a bad hair day? We all know how annoying it is when our hair refuses to behave. But on the days that it does behave, we couldn’t be happier!
It’s not just women who are constantly worried about hair, men too have started taking greater care and opting for hair weaves as a last resort.
With all the preparation that goes into shooting a serial, hair stylists deserve a special mention since they have a tough task ahead.
Here are some of my picks for great hair styles (female):
1. Syra Shehroze- She’s one of the few actresses who sports a short hair-style and she carries it off beautifully. Her look in her current drama- RUBARU is just lovely.
2. Mahira Khan- Mahira’s look in Humsafar was just perfect. In SeZ, the light waves suited her too. She definitely has a great stylist plus she’s blessed with gorgeous hair.
3. Saba Qamar- Saba has gorgeous hair and doesn’t really need to do anything. It just naturally falls perfectly in place.
4. Mehwish Hayat- I like how Mehwish experiments with her looks and her hair. She looks the best when her hair has volume with a little bounce.
5. Sarwat Gillani- Sarwat’s hair is naturally curly and it suits her a lot. But she looks equally great in straight hair too.
It would be unfair to leave the men behind. So here are some of my picks for great hair (men):
1. Mikaal Zulfiqar- Mikaal has really great hair. I don’t know if that’s his real hair but his hair deserves a mention.
2. Fawad Khan- The heart-throb of millions and owner of a great mane, Fawad Khan has sported many different styles and looks great.
3. Hamza Ali Abbasi- Hamza’s has plenty of volume and smooth, silky hair. I like the length of his hair- it’s perfect for styling in a variety of ways.
4. Danish Taimoor- Somehow his hair always seems perfect. It’s almost as if he never experienced a bad hair day- ever!
5. Emmad Irfani- I’ve just watched him in a serial recently- Ranjish Hi Sahi and his hair looks great! Kudos to his stylist for maintaining that perfect look!
Did any of these make your list? What hair styles do you prefer?
Recently an online feud arose when fashion model Eman Suleman posted some of her work related pictures on her Instagram handle. While the pictures where liked by most of the fans and people from the fraternity, hairstyling expert Nabila came up with a critical review.
Makeup and hair guru Nabila criticized the hairstyling done for the shoot calling the hairpiece and the idea executed badly, on which Eman Suleman totally refused her claim saying ” Nabila, I think it’s a job well done, better than any parlor could have done. Lol”. Later on the hairstylist of the shoot Fatima Nasir, fashion model Rehmat Jamal and Farwa Ali also expressed in the comments, that how disgusted they felt after Nabila’s remarks. Let’s check out how exactly the feud arose between the celebrities.
It is no secret that girls love to color their hair especially in Pakistan. Although ladies in this country have a deep relationship with being a blonde but there are many other different shades one can opt for if they are experimental.
Shades of Red
At least once in their lifetime a girl needs to go red. Red is a really bold color to try and once it washes out, it leaves orangey hues which do not look good at all. Either one goes ginger or full on red or has red strands, it’s definitely a tough choice to make. But in my experience, being a red head is enjoyable in it’s tenure. So go red this winter, wear some red lipstick and rock the look.
Burgundy
Not being the same as red, burgundy is the sister hair color of red as it is a mixture of brown and red with a touch of purple to it. This hair color is for all those girls who like to experiment and have fun with their hair as it does not last too long and needs maintenance and care for it to stay intact.
Honey Blonde
Honey Blonde is a really beautiful warm colored shade with the roots being darker while the rest of the hair is a mix between light brown and blonde. The hair color adds a lot of sass and style to a girl’s personality and compliments almost every skin tone. Giving one the perfect sun kissed look, it sure is a must try this upcoming season.
Frosted Brown
When Kim Kardashian tries something new, it quickly becomes a trend and why should it not. Kim’s recent hair color which her colorist termed ‘Frosted Brown’ is a breathe of fresh air in the sea of blondes and brondes. It’s not too warm and not too cool and looks super edgy and modern at the same time.
Black
Jet Black hair is one of the most flattering hair colors for almost all skin tones. One of the most beautiful things about healthy black hair color is its signature, glossy shine. One can add many other colors accompanying jet black hair that is having a blue shine to it or some burgundy hues giving it a rich look without going overboard.
Crazy Colors
Yes, you read that right. These kind of unnatural hair colors are known as crazy colors. They are not everyone’s cup of tea and usually the most daring people try these out. They also hardly last a few days and are mostly adorned by celebrities or through hair chalks or wigs, as they involve a lot of bleaching and are damaging to the hair. Alternatively, you can also go with dip-dyed ombre ends in a shade of pink, purple, green or even blue or any other that complements your natural color.
So which of these hair color trends will you go for this winter, let us know in the comments.

Sultan Rahi is the biggest film star of the country. He has made a world record by starring in more than 800 films in his career. He worked in both Urdu and Punjabi cinema and he ruled both till his demise in 1996. His son Haider Sultan also joined in his footsteps and became a film star later on. Haider was a guest on Wasi Shah’s show and spoke about his father.
Haider Sultan revealed the very last meeting that he had with his father. He shared that his father was leaving for Islamabad for visa related procedures. As soon as his car drove out of the porch, Haider waved at him. He then went to him which was not a usual occurrence and jumped over the door as the car was bigger in size. He kissed his father on the cheek as he was feeling a bit uneasy that day. He asked Sultan Rahi Sahab if he should go with him but his father said that he can go on his own and left. He was shot dead later that day and Haider was only 18 at the time.
This is what he revealed about that unfortunate day:
Haider Sultan also revealed how humble his father was. He always used to greet people first. Once he went to the studio with his father and suddenly a sweeper stopped Sultan Rahi Sahab and said you did not say Salam to me today. Sultan Rahi got out of the car, hugged that man and greeted him. The man got emotional and said you can go now. Sultan Rahi lived his life according to Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad SAW and tried to follow his teachings as much as he can as shared by his son.
Haider Sultan Rahi is son of late legendary film artist Sultan Rahi who was a well-known film figure due to his countless hit Punjabi films including the most watched film in the cinema Maula Jatt. Haider Sultan also tried his luck in Ptv dramas and Punjabi films. Fans praised his TV projects but didn’t like him in Punjabi films. A few of his Ptv dramas include Armaan, Aag , Hum Aik Hain and others. His notable films are Sodaagar, Kundi Na Kharka and Basheera Gujar.
Recently, Haider Sultan gave an interview to RNN News , hosted by Bushra Khan. In the interview Haider Sultan talked about why Humayun Saeed’s Love Guru faced public backlash.
Talking about it, Haider Sultan said, “Now if I cast Humayun Saeed in a role as a college boy; no one will accept it, people will only accept him in a good suitable character role. Casting plays an important part in the success of a film, if done right. Now, Salman Khan and Shahrukh play hero but are accepted just because they choose characters that suit them. They have recently worked in a copied filmmfrom Hollywood. Love Guru is the name of the film which is a copy, first it was copied in India where Salman Khan played the lead character, here it was done by Humayun Saeed. I have given them suggestions about films but they want to play safe and do the similar movies again and again. Here is the link to the video:
Hafsa Butt is an actress and model who started her career not too long ago. She worked a bit and then took a break to complete her degree. Her love and passion for acting brought her back into the industry and she is now working in dramas again. She is very blunt with her opinions and shared her thoughts about a wide range of things in her appearance on FHM Pakistan.
Hafsa Butt revealed that all girls get offers when they start working. She revealed that she once got an offer from a powerful man in the industry. She got a message late at night to do favours if she wants to come on the title. She bluntly asked what he means by favour and he said that you should be in my bed.
This is what Hafsa Butt shared about the existence of casting couch in the industry:
The internet has mixed thoughts about Hafsa Butt’s revelation. One user said, “This is the reality of showbiz. Why did you come into it.” Another added, “You are using it now to get fame.” One said, “This is the reality of every field. Men try to exploit young girls who are their juniors.” This was the reaction:
Hafsa Butt is an actress and model who has worked in several dramas. The actress was recently seen in Bajjo in a very different role than her real life. The actress was a guest on FHM podcast and spoke about her education, career choices and importance of early marriages. She also shared what she wants to see in her future husband.
Hafsa Butt shared qualities she wants to see in her future husband. She has a very peculiar demand. The man should not be an alcoholic. She said that she has now observed that all men drink alcohol. This starts a chain where a woman will be at home while the man will be out drinking every night. She has also seen women marrying such a man in hopes of seeing his reformation but it never comes. Thus she does not want to marry an alcoholic. This also promotes affairs and cheating further down the relationship.
Hafsa Butt also shared that she wants her future husband to be financially stable. He does not have to be extremely rich but he should be better than her in finances. She wants a normal life and she is not looking for ultra-luxury.
These are the habits Hafsa Butt is looking for in her life partner:
Head of the religious entity Jammatu Daawa Hafiz Saeed has filed a petition in Lahore High court through his lawyer AK Dogar demanding a ban on the release of upcoming Bollywood film Phantom due to release in last week of August.
Hafiz Saeed
The film is about 2008 Mumbai attacks known as 26/11. India has always accused, Hafiz Saeed as the master mind of these attacks. As per Hafiz Saeed, the film has baseless propaganda against Pakistan so it should not be allow screening here. The hearing of the case will start on the 10th of August.
Phantom is based on a book named Bombay Avengers and is directed by Kabir Khan who also directed the super hit film Bajrangi Bhaijan released few weeks ago on Eidul Fitr in Pakistan.
If banned, it will not be the first such film. In recent years censor board has refused to issue censor certificates to many Bollywood films. This year Bangistan and Baby were not allowed screening by censor board. However this ban seldom impacts the appetite of Bollywood films which prevails in Pakistan. All such banned movies are openly aired on cable networks (normally pirated version) locally as well openly available on DVDs.
Here is the trailer of Phantom. From trailer it surely look a work of fiction, but its publicity tagline is ‘A STORY YOU WISH WERE TRUE’

Geo television network’s controversial drama Hadsa is doing rounds on social media. The drama makers are accused of hurting the sentiments of rape survivors. The main lead is played by Hadiqa Kiani, who is a rape victim in the drama. Hadsa is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and it is produced by Shazia Wajahat and Wajahat Rauf. Hadsa makers are facing heavy criticism for portraying the real story of rape survivor. The criticism on the drama started coming after the real-life survivor of the motorway incident bravely voiced her grief and pain. Nadia Jamil, Nadia Afgan, Fareeha Idrees and Tamkenat raised their voice for her as well. Almost every social media user called out the drama makers.
Lately, the producer Wajahat Rauf has come up with his statement about the Hadsa controversy. He has replied to the questions regarding the drama story. He has denied the accusation that the drama is based on the motorway incident. He has said that the only thing similar in the plot is the place (highway) where the incident occurred.
To the questions: Is the drama Haadsa based on the motorway incident? If yes, did you take consent from the real victim before making a play on her life?, Wajahat Rauf replied, “The drama is not based on the motorway incident. The protagonist, her husband, her 3 children, the family dynamics, the police officers who investigate the crime, the reason behind the crime, the trial are all fictional. The only thing common in the story is the part about the place (highway) where the incident occurred. The crime highlighted in the play is a very serious issue existing in our society and we want to create content that raises awareness on this and other heinous crimes committed every day. In no way do we intend to or have taken one particular incident in mind when making our dramas or films. The aftermath of the crime, her fight against the culprits through a functional legal system and her stand against her own husband/mother in law is all fictional and created by the writer.”
He also replied to the questions which were asked about the ugly portrayal of the society’s treatment with rape victim. To the question, “Don’t you think it is insensitive to use dialogues like ‘Izzat wapis naheen ayay gee’ whereas we should be building a narrative that her izzat is not lost at all and that shame lies with the culprits and not her?, Wajahat Rauf wrote, “The last thing we would want to do is to be insensitive towards someone who has been a victim of this brutal crime. It is our opinion that it would be far more insensitive towards the victims if we did not adopt a condemnation tone; in that case one might argue that we are not at all familiar with the trauma that a rape victim goes through. Our writer did speak to actual victims who were willing to talk about their trauma and how they eventually coped with it and that is what is reflected in the play. A character should be judged after seeing her entire role. Judgement shouldn’t be passed on the basis of aglimpse of social media post. Writers and directors can show temporary weakness to show long term strength of a character that develops. Please treat this as a developing story and judge only at the end if you must”.
Question about giving awareness or following ratings, he said, “If we wanted ratings, we would have gone with a sure shot saas bahu or toxic husband story. We passionately tell stories that create awareness on sensitive issues be it Guru (a story about an intersex who sacrifices everything to raise an abandoned child) or Daamsa (a story about child trafficking), Pinjra (a story about parenting and favouring one child over another) or Parde Mein Rehne Do (a film about how families more than often blame the woman for not being able to conceive without getting the appropriate tests done). Wajahat Rauf, Shazia Wajahat, Showcase (Production House), Producers, Hadsa”.
Here are the stories:
Wajahat Rauf’s long statements ignited more criticism, many social media users said that his response is insensitive:

The last episode of the drama serial Hadsa aired today. Fans loved the beautiful message-driven ending. In the play, Taskin, played by Hadiqa Kiani, gave a message of bravery and courage. She stood up for herself and got the justice. Hadiqa Kayani’s performance in the drama was loved by the fans.

Most of the fans loved the fact that Taksin’s children stood by her side throughout her tough journey.
Hadiqa Kayani portrayed the role brilliantly. Fans said that the team of the drama deserves praise for presenting a thoughtful show without dragging the story. The audience loved the ending of the drama. According to the fans, the drama did not deviate from its sole purpose and delivered a lesson oriented conclusion. Read the comments:
Hadiqa Kiani just came back from a trip to the Northern Areas of Pakistan. The scenic locations took her breath away. Her lovely pictures show that she had a wonderful time. She was accompanied by her beautiful son, Naad-e-Ali.
The love for Turkish series Dirilis Ertugrul is on peak and people can’t stop talking about it.
Well, the series is quite popular in Pakistan because of its gripping story and brilliant performances by its characters.
Popular singer Hadiqa Kiani has paid tribute to Dirilis Ertugrul. She got the opportunity in 2005 to sing Turkish song Sen Aglama at the AKM Opera House.
Kiani has remastered the song as a tribute to Ertgrul series and for the people of Turkey.
Here’s her tweet:
In 2005, I had the honor of singing the Turkish song #SenAğlama at the AKM Opera House. Today, I have remastered that song as a tribute to @TRTErtugrulPTV series, #SezenAksu & to the people of Turkey. May our love and bond be forever strong. 🇹🇷🇵🇰❤️ Stream: https://t.co/OT2vwrsTty
Hadiqa Kiani has an old connection with Turkey as she shared her story and wrote a statement, “The love between Turkey and Pakistan is unlike the love of any other country. Hadiqa Kiani’s maternal ancestors are from İzmir, Turkey and she has had an affinity for the country since her childhood. As a child prodigy, Kiani represented Pakistan in the International Children’s Festival in Turkey and as an adult in 2005 she returned to the great country to once again represent Pakistan at the iconic Atatürk Cultural Center and Opera House.”
“The biggest surprise for the audience was said to be when Kiani sang “Sen Ağlama” (Turkish song of Living Legend Sezen Aksu) to a standing ovation from the audience.”
“She told the audience that as Turkey stood beside Pakistan in good and bad times, she wanted to convey the love of Pakistani people for the Turks.”
The statement further reads, “Now in 2020, a new milestone in the relationship between Pakistan and Turkey was cemented by the mammoth success of Ertuğrul in Pakistan and we thought of no better time to pay a public tribute to the people of Turkey by officially releasing Hadiqa’s original performance of “Sen Ağlama.”
