I instantly messaged her on Friday night, telling her to give me credits but she didn’t respond. The video was up on her page and when I saw she hadn’t credited me the next day either, I uploaded the original version. But it was too late, people thought I had copied her voice!” Nimra Rafique said.

This is how Zara was targeted again and again.

Her answer about her love for travelling was also made fun of:

Another answer she gave which was not taken seriously:

Her weight and eating habits also got insulted:

She shared that she had a bizarre dish in China in the answer to what weirdest combination of food she has ever had also was used to mock her:

While Fahad Mustafa’s popularity knows no bounds in Pakistan, the actor has often been blamed for one thing; i.e. using whitening injections to brighten his complexion.

Talking to Momin Ali Munshi on his digital talk show, Fahad Mustafa answered the question very relevantly.

“I didn’t get whitening injections but I’ll tell you this. Ten years ago, we had to struggle when we went on a shoot. It had to be taxis, buses or even bikes when we traveled for work. Today I have a complete entourage with me. Moreover makeup and products have changed.”

“Yes, I did go to a skin doctor, got myself night creams, who doesn’t. I follow my skin care routine rigorously. People have seen me and my dad. We’re like this only. But these days I’m following one agenda, no makeup. So look at me, this is how I am. This is exactly how I look,” added the Actor in Law star.

Did Ayeza Khan Get Surgery Done? We Love Her Reply!

Ayeza Khan recently got the perfect makeover from the guru himself, Akif Illyas. When she put the photos up on instagram, few people started questioning her. One person asked if she had used whitening injections and another asked what was wrong with her nose, basically suggesting that she got surgery done. Ayeza Khan immediately replied that she did not get any surgeries or such treatments done. She also said that her complexion was the same as always but the fact was that now everyone had new techniques. She also said that it was the magic of make-up and editing. Any other celebrity would have either ignored this comment or maybe would have told such a person off but not Ayeza! She always keeps her cool and deals with such situations gracefully.

We love Ayeza Khan’s honest response!

Dialogue Of Mere Paas Tum Ho Is Receiving Backlash

0

The very famous drama nowadays Mere Paas Tum Ho has taken the internet by storm. The character of Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) is receiving negative comments who is playing the role of a cheating wife. Social media was going crazy over the dialogue ‘dou takkay ki aurat’ which was used for Mehwish.

People are complaining that the perspective of Mehwish is ignored. People are defending her character that she was not a cheater rather she made a choice for herself because she was a materialistic woman and she wanted growth in her life. The problem with the show is that there is no female perspective.

Many people asked real questions and raised their voices. Samina Peerzada raised her voice for women and how they are degraded in society.

Famous writer Farhat Ishtiaq was also against this mindset. She posted her views about how we treat women.

Dhund Episode 5-6 – Thoughtful & Gripping

0

After a rather disappointing episode (the one with Zhalay Sarhadi and Nouman Masood), I kept putting off watching the fifth episode, but that was before the promo featuring MARINA KHAN caught my eye and I knew I had to catch up – no excuses.

The fifth episode follows Hira, a girl who was sold to Sir Jamal and his wife by her parents. Children separated from their birth parents often grapple with identity issues and struggle to find answers about where they came from and why they were abandoned. The wailing spirit of Hira’s mother , deeply regretful and guilty, wants nothing but her daughter’s forgiveness. I found this episode to be very touching, and I liked how Maria could feel the helplessness and sorrow of Hira’s mother on a personal level. I liked Nana Sahib and Maria’s exchange here too:

Nana Sahib (speaking of the spirit): Kuch batati nahe, sisakti rehti hai. Be-chayn hai, tumhari tarah.
Maria: Koi maa hogi.

Also, the relationship between Sir Jamal and Hira was interesting. Hira had the right to ask questions about her past but Jamal refused to answer them because he, physically and emotionally dependent on her, was too afraid to lose her – the only person who cared about him. We are also introduced to the character of Humaira (Marina Khan) who is Maria’s phupo and strongly believes in the existence of spirits. We also learn that it’s Humaira who put Detective Uzair in touch with Maria.

The fifth episode follows Humaira as she brings an antique rocking chair into her new house, and with it, comes a grumpy, old ghost who is more lonely than he is scary. Marina Khan – and her character – is an absolute delight. Humaira Aunty, with her theatrics, red hand fan and white tube roses, is hilarious and extremely likable! ‘’Humare khandan mein kis qism kay buddhay hain’’ had me in splits. This track was a lot lighter than our previous tracks; I laughed out loud several times while watching this episode and I loved it. I want to see more of Humaira Aunty in the future episodes  because a) Marina Khan b) Marina Khan.

I was enjoying the way every episode revealed a little more about Imran, but then we got two successive episodes that had nothing to do with the mystery behind Imran and Fawad’s disappearances. Arjumand who? Itni dramatic entry and everything, but now they seem to have forgotten all about her. All of a sudden, in the latest episode, there are all these new developments: Imran is in touch with his family and Fawad was also spotted in the village. Fawad calling his mother after all these years?  That was a lousy way to take the story forward, but maybe there’s more to that phone call. I certainly hope so.

I have always complained about done-to-death stories rife with love triangles, dusri shaadian, teesri shaadian, extra marital affairs, beautiful and confident women who would go to any lengths to marry the guy who – you guessed it – is in love with his class fellow/cousin/colleague. And a counter argument to these rants has always been: these stories get ratings, audience ko yehi dekhna hai. I don’t think that’s true, I think people are sick of these stories, as they should be. Dhund is a different series in every way; it explores a different genre while also dealing with social issues in an interesting way. I don’t know how Dhund is doing as far as ratings are concerned, but if it’s not doing well, then does it mean people really do want to see old, recycled stories? Stories where two women are pitted against each other to get the guy who doesn’t deserve either of them? If it’s true and these are really the kind of stories that get ratings, then I am quite concerned for the fate of dramas like Dhund that attempt to do something different. What do you think?

Are you watching Dhund? What are your thoughts?

Dhund Episode 4 – Could’ve Been Better

0

The latest installment of Dhund wasn’t bad by any means, but I personally found myself bored. I guess this has a lot to do with the fact that I was expecting to find out more about Imran – his involvement in Neeni’s death and subsequent disappearance. This episode, however, had nothing to add to our knowledge of Imran, Arjumand or Neeni.

It’s nice to know that Maria has friends who are not among the dead and departed. In this episode, we follow Maria’s friend, Erum (Zhalay Sarhadi) who is struggling to move on from the death of her husband, Nomi (Nouman Masood). Nomi, not ready to accept that he no longer belongs to the world of the living, constantly tries to make his presence felt and communicate with Erum. What I liked about the previous tracks was that they had a certain depth to them; the one with Sania Saeed explored a strained mother-daughter relationship; last week’s track was a sharp commentary on religious and sectarian animosity and its heart-breaking consequences. In this episode, even though Erum’s friend, Kashif (struggling to break out of the friend zone) said something about Nomi being an abusive husband, this bit wasn’t explored in a way I’d have appreciated. I liked Maria Wasti’s acting in the scene where she tries to get Nomi to make peace with his death and let go of Erum, but overall, this track was boring and didn’t give me much to think about – quite unlike last week’s track.

I always enjoy watching Nasreen’s scenes – she makes me laugh – but her scenes with the driver were a pain to watch because the actor playing the driver was terrible! I wouldn’t have complained if he wasn’t given a considerable amount of screen time. I miss Nana Syed and would like to see him make an appearance in the next episode. I also hope that we learn more about Arjumand, Imran and Neeni next week.

Sorry for the late review – life kinda got in the way. What are your thoughts on this episode?

Dhund Episode 2 – Intriguing

0

”Behtar hota hai kay kuch haqeeqaton par parda para rahay.” 

I am really enjoying the storytelling here. We get more questions than answers and everyone has got something to hide – even Maria, our main character, knows more than she lets on. And what helps the storytelling is the direction. Faiz is an intelligent director who is deftly treating this multi-track story.

Today, the track that had my complete attention was Maria’s. Imran and Maria were not a happy couple, and it’s not her husband but her son, Fawad for whom Maria’s heart aches. Imran’s former colleague (Sania Saeed) tells Uzair that there was a change in Imran’s behavior during the days leading up to his disappearance; he became short-tempered and quit his job for no apparent reason. In last week’s episode, we saw one of Maria’s flashbacks, where she was telling Imran about this girl she sees in her vision – a girl, dressed in a school uniform, cries for help. And upon hearing this, Imran seemed quite taken aback. Today, we learn more about this little girl, Neeni, and her mother, Arjumand (Angeline Malik). Imran knew Arjumand and used to pay frequent visits to her in Lahore, and he had something to do with Neeni’s death. The episode ended with Arjumand showing up on Maria’s doorstep, and I did NOT see that coming. I am curious about the connection between Imran and Arjumand – an obvious one is that the two were having an affair. I will be slightly disappointed if that really is the case here because that would be a tad bit predictable in an otherwise unpredictable story.

Another thing I didn’t see coming was Maria asking Uzair to discontinue the investigation. Maria fears that if the truth comes out, she’d lose her son for good. Maria is not being completely honest with Uzair, but something tells me that Uzair is keen to get to the bottom of it and won’t be dropping the case.

The other track involving Sania Saeed’s character (I don’t think we learned her name?) could have been better. When you have someone like Sania Saeed working her magic, this track could have been much stronger. Anyways, here we follow a woman who, after her husband’s death, is struggling to get through to her daughter, Hania. Hania was extremely close to her father and is certain of his presence in their house. Hania used to spend the majority of her time with her stay-at-home dad because her mother worked to support the family. After his death, Hania misses him and thinks that her mother doesn’t try to understand her feelings. I don’t appreciate the way working mothers are portrayed in a negative light, but I am glad that they didn’t project her as a mother who couldn’t care less, and it was good that I found myself sympathizing with a mother who deeply cared about and loved her daughter and struggled to bridge the rift. Maria’s ‘’involvement’’ here seemed forced and that ‘’let your daughter move on’’ speech was rather disappointing – I couldn’t help thinking, ‘’is that all?’’Also, I wish they’d chosen some other actor to play Hania’s father. I know the guy had only one scene but still! And sitting behind his daughter in the restaurant – I don’t know but the whole scene felt a bit off to me?

I am really interested to learn more about Arjumand, Neeni and Imran. Did you guys watch this episode? I would like to know your thoughts.
