Resham is a brilliant Pakistani actress who recently made headlines after responding to Syed Noor’s statements against her. The veteran Pakistani director Syed Noor called Resham an unlucky actor, to which Resham replied that he was the unlucky one for having stopped working with her for his love Saima. Resham also said that he exploited her talent by giving her small roles in his film alongside Saima.

Recently, Syed Noor appeared on Dr. Affan Qaiser’s podcast, where he expressed his grievances with actress Resham.

Talking about film actress Resham, Syed Noor said, ‘Resham is an intelligent actress. Unfortunately, even though I was the one who introduced her to the film industry, she doesn’t consider me her teacher. She only considers Ayub Khawar and a few others as her teachers. I have no grievances with her, and I’m happy that I introduced, launched, and groomed her, l made efforts for her looks. Now, I don’t know why she isn’t working or why people are not casting her, but I don’t have any character for her at the moment. If I do have a role for her, I will give it to her. I have expressed my views; she never acknowledges me. She should show me the work of her other teachers. As I mentioned, I am not angry at her.’

Nadeem Baig while talking about the stars of Sinf-e-Aahan, mentioned that “I’ve worked with Sajal for the first time and I’ve realized that Sajal always judges herself.

She made us laugh a lot on the sets.”

Nadeem Baig while praising Yumna Zaidi, said that “Yumna is a fantastic actress. She has the ability to adapt the character quickly. She’s always thinking about her character. Yumna is very smart.”

“Ramsha is a wonderful human being. She used to talk a lot on the sets but the moment she comes in front of camera she turns into her character. Ramsha has a height phobia and it was quite difficult for her to shoot such scenes where she had to jump from a certain height. We literally begged Ramsha to jump from a height just for a shot”, added Nadeem Baig.

Nadeem Baig while talking about Kubra Khan, said that “Kubra is a very sporty person, she used to learn everything quickly but she had to remain on the last because of her character. She used to have tear in her eyes that it’s unfair to fail every test, despite being so smart and energetic.”

“Humayun Saeed is an amazing human being and a down to earth person. Humayun is a natural actor and he has a good screen presence. Humayun is a really good friend of mine and there’s nothing like working with friends if you get a chance once in a lifetime”, added Nadeem Baig.

Pakistani dramas keep getting into ridiculous trends and if one gets ratings, all the others are seen doing a similar thing. Director Misbah Khalid is a veteran in the industry and she was a guest on Samaa TV at Madeha Naqvi’s morning show. She criticized the latest trends in dramas that are not making any sense. She pin pointed how all our dramas have daughters who are thrown out of the house in the middle of the night and no one is questioning this absurdity.

We recently saw this in dramas like Mere Humsafar, Jaan Nisar and Hasrat where families throw their daughters out and do not even check on them in many cases:

It was earlier this month when actor cum host Hamza Ali Abbasi announced that he would be quitting acting to follow the greater cause of preaching Islam. Although Hamza did not denounce acting as a profession, he still maintained the thought that he wanted to use the medium only to spread the message of Islam and Allah further. Hamza also stated that since people had always associated media with glamour, he had taken the decision to quit the industry so that he would be taken seriously.

While many people lauded Hamza’s decision to quit acting at the peak of his career, there have been others who criticized the actor’s decision, stating it demeaned the whole profession of acting further. One such critic happens to be Deedan famed director Amin Iqbal.

Amin Iqbal in a recent video interview expressed his disappoinmnet on Hamza Ali Abbasi’s decision stating that it had demeaned the profession.

“The showbiz profession already receives resentment from the public, and people usually discourage their loved ones from joining the industry. In the given scenario, Hamza’s decision will only add fuel to the fire,” said Amin Iqbal.

Amin Iqbal added that when a banker or any other person left their profession they didn’t cite religion as the reason and as people already had resentment towards the field of showbiz and acting, Hamza’s decision has only added more fuel to a fire ignited already.

“Media industry is a celebration of art, and it should be respected,” Amin Iqbal said. However, the director did wish Hamza Ali Abbasi all the luck for his future endeavors.

Watch the full video here to learn what more did Amin Iqbal said;

Geo Entertainment’s drama serial ‘Aey Musht E Khak’ has been under discussion on social media for the past few days, a lot of questions are being raised about the characters and behaviors illustrated in it.

In one episode of the drama, the main character Mustejab (Feroz Khan) strangles his ex-girlfriend Shiza (Nimrah Khan) and grabs her by the throat and drags her on the sofa. This scene has sparked a debate over whether Pakistani drama is showing violence against women as a common thing in society.

A lot of people bashed the drama makers and said that such narratives are ruining the society and normalizing such behaviors in society by continuous imitation on the television.

Feroz Khan and Sana Javed are playing the lead roles in this drama. Feroze Khan has been portrayed as a perverted, stubborn, egoistic and non religious atheistic man who falls in love with Dua (Sana Javed) and marries her. In the play, Dua (Sana Javed) is playing the role of a religious and loving girl who is attached to religion and its teachings.

Netizens have scrutinized two scenes of the drama. In one scene the main lead Mustajab was criticized when he was shown un aware of the essence of the Holy Month of Ramadan. Secondly, fans lashed out at Feroze Khan’s violent scene with Nimra Khan.

Defending the story of the drama, the director Ahsun Talish said, “I am getting a great response to this drama but some people are not understanding the subject. This is the story of an infidel. In our society, parents give everything to their children but don’t clear their religious beliefs. They don’t teach them religion, then kids are influenced by their own paths.

When asked about the drama’s viral clip and story on social media, he said that he was not making violence against women a common place and that he had not done so intentionally.

He further said, ” I have read the script many times and it is not that we are normalizing the violence against women. Doesn’t a British man kill his wife in Europe, women there are also beaten”. ‘ This When asked, warning messages are put up in violent scenes abroad, he replied, “we do not give warnings, here people are very sensible”.

“If we reflect society, you say we normalize things, it is as normal as you drive a car to your office,” he said. This is also what happens in society. It is called ‘Manjan’ in common language, so take this drama as a story.

Talking about , ‘if Mustejab will get towards right direction in the end’, he didn’t reveal anything.

This is what he shared:

He revealed that he is working on a script alongside Sheheryar Muanwar. It is a thriller and he showed the script to Mahira Khan. The way Mahira gave him pointers within seconds shocked him on how good Mahira’s knowledge is about a good script. She is therefore one star he would love to work with one day.

Here is what he said:

Senior journalist and director Abu Aleeha has recently voiced his concern about the industry choosing nepotism over real talent, directly making a jab at actors Haroon Kadwani and Azaan Sami Khan.

Director Abu Aleeha taking to his official twitter account, said that the amount of hard work TV channel Geo was doing to promote actor Abdullah Kadwani’s son Haroon Kadwani and singer Adnan Sami Khan’s son Azaan Sami Khan, should actually have been done on NAPA’s talented acting students to provide them with the platform they deserve! He also urged audiences to stop praising every other mediocre teaser in comments.

Haroon Kadwani’s father Abdullah Kadwani is not only a famous Pakistani actor but also a producer and director, along with being the owner of 7th Sky Production Company. Meanwhile, actor Azaan Sami Khan is the son of famous singer Adnan Sami and Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar.

Dilwale is also the most successful film of Shahrukh Khan in Pakistan surpassing the record of Happy New Year (2014). Dilwale’s business is slightly impacted by the release of the Urdu film Ho Mann Jahan on the 1st January 2016 as it is resulted in less number of shows. Still the film is registering favorable occupancy and is expected to continue its run for at least two more weeks. However it might not reach the all time Bollywood record in Pakistan of Dhoom3, which earned 25 crore in 2013.

Pakistani and Indian Punjabi singers share an amazing bond because of the same culture they share. Many Pakistani Punjabi singers are popular in India, likewise, many Indian Punjabi singers are very famous in Pakistan. There was a time, Pakistani singers like Shazia Manzoor, Abrar Ul Haq and Sajjad Ali were popular in India. Even Indians copied many famous Pakistani songs. Lately, Diljit Dosanjh has sung Shazia Manzoor’s famous Punjabi song Batiaan Bujhai Rakh Di in his live concert.

Mohsin Abbas Haider thanked Diljit Dosanjh for featuring his song in his concert. He wrote, “Thank you Paaji for honouring my Song “Uddi Ja”. Much Love and Respect”. Read a few more comments:

On the orders of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif the Pakistani government has declared the ancestral house of Dilip Kumar in Peshawar as a national heritage. Prime minister has also ordered to acquire the property by buying it from its current owners (off course by spending tax payers amount from national treasury).

The house located at Qissa Khawani Bazar, Peshawar is in bad condition being used as a storage place by wholesalers. The government is planning to renovate the house after acquiring it, after which it will be inaugurated in a grand ceremony where Dilip Kumar will also be invited who actually lives in Mumbai, India.

Though a positive step, it is ironic that government is keenly following this case where the concerned artist has never ever worked for any Pakistani production. Especially when our governments has never shown any intention or interest in preserving heritage of legendary Pakistani artists like Mehdi Hassan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Madam Noor Jehan and many others. Apart from artists there are many poets and writers who deserve same anticipation from government. Dilip Kumar is indeed a great artist born in Peshawar who opted to live and work in India after partition rather than his homeland, but those who opted to live and work in Pakistan and brought fame to our country should be the first priority for any such decision.

Like majority of Pakistani public, most of our rulers and leaders also passionately follows indian artists. Former dictator, Ziaul Haq, Parvez Musharaf and prime ministers Shaukat Aziz and now Nawaz Sharif are one who have admired indian artists on their visits to India. Even former dictator ziaul Haq has family terms with an Indian artist. Similarly on his visit to India, Parvez Musharraf specially expressed the wish to invite an indian artist on offical lunch.

Current prime minister Nawaz Sharif has visited India last month where he also met indian artist Shabana Azmi in a gathering. Nawaz Sharif also wanted to visit famous artist of sub-continent Dilip Kumar but unable to do so though he sent a bouquet  for Dilip Kumar. Nawaz Sharif had awarded the Sitara-e-Imtiaz (the highest civil award of Pakistan) to Dilip Kumar in 1999 when he was the Prime minister.

Now Dilip Kumar has released his auto biography and sent a special copy to our Prime minister Nawaz Sharif, which is a sign of strong bonding and warm relations between these two.

Today is 92nd birthday of Indian film artist Dilip Kumar. Dilip Kumar born as Yousuf Khan in Peshawar, British India in 1922. After partition of India in 1947, Dilip Kumar opted for India over his birthplace Peshawar which was now part of new state of Pakistan.

Indian films are extremely popular in Pakistan, and so does Indian film artists and Dilip Kumar is amongst one of the famous ones. Dilip Kumar’s ancestral home still stands in Peshawar though in a depleted state. Government of Pakistan also awarded Dilip Kumar, Nishane Imtiaz in 1997 which is also the highest civilian medal.

Last year Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif who is also a fan of Dilip Kumar declared the ancestral home in Peshawar as national heritage and announced the house will be bought by Government of Pakistan. As per press reports the current owner of this house is demanding nearly three crore rupees from government. But the plan was not executed thus saving funds collected from Pakistani tax payers hard earned income.

However today the cultural minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Amjad Afridi announced to pursue the plan and the ancestral home of Raaj Kapoor another Indian artist will also be bought on Pakistani tax payers money. The government has also imposed an act to preserve the old heritage sites.

So atleast here is one issue where we can see the unity of Federal government in Islamabad and provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who otherwise are opposing each other on roads and television screens for past four months. If KPK or Federal government is considering to waste tax payer’s money on there are many deserving names of local cinema like late Badar Munir who dedicated his whole life for Pashto cinema.
