Momina Mustehsan Shuts Down Twitter Trolls!

Internet has facilitated us in countless things, among which is providing us a universal platform to voice our opinions. Our Entertainment Industry has benefitted through it by learning what the public is interested into directly from the public, promoting their projects easily to a large population and making someone a celebrity over night too.

Artists can receive feedback on their work directly thanks to social media. They can also spread any message good or bad, that they want to share with their fans, directly without the involvement of any third party.

Momina Mustehsan has used her fame and twitter to voice a lot of her opinions to the world. Recently she was included in an online feature that applauded our famous celebrities who stood up against bullying. The article went viral on social media and of course people jumped in and started taking sides. Momina Mustehsan ended up having a full on debate with a few of her followers :

Baaghi Episode 6 Review – Reality Checks

Tonight’s episode of Baaghi covered a period of more than a year in which Fauzia learned that Abid was never going to give her the freedom she needed to make her dreams come true. Her life also changed with the birth of her son because while she was busy taking care of him, Abid was busy having an affair. Even with all the rude shocks and reality checks Fauzia got in this one year, she did not resign to her fate and decided she was going to do whatever it took to make her dreams come true. Fauzia’s married life had done-to-death written all over it – a mother in law who was always complaining, a husband who was cheating on her and parents who wanted her to compromise. Just like everything else, this latest development was covered in a simple manner. Abid turned out to be a typical husband who believed that a woman’s sole purpose in life was to stay loyal to her husband and the husband had absolutely no obligations towards his wife. Gradually, Fauzia realized that all the promises Abid made to her were false.

Fauzia and her brother’s relationship was the perfect opportunity for the writer to show another side of Fauzia’s personality but unfortunately these two did not get a lot of screen time together in these 6 episodes. Tonight too the scene in which Fauzia questioned her brother about his studies was confusing because he complained that he got bad marks because Fauzia was no longer teaching him. Later on, she also helped him with a complicated subject like science. Wasn’t Fauzia supposed to be uneducated? This particular aspect is seriously confusing because 5 weeks back Fauzia’s biggest deprivation was that she never went to school and now the scenes in this and previous episode suggest that she went to school or perhaps college! This is a major loophole which leads to confusion. I guess she went to school after all and that entire conversation between her and her mother shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Also, I am wondering why someone like her was making parandas to earn a living when she could have taught children to earn a livelihood.

Baaghi Episode 6 Review - Reality Checks

Fauzia’s state of mind however was the only different aspect of tonight’s episode. For the first time Fauzia had a real conversation with herself and this aspect was covered really well. She thought about all the dreams she had, what she expected from this marriage, what could she do now to get what she always wanted and also considered her limitations. Fauzia also dreamed of a better future for her child because she did not want him to end up like her. Fauzia’s reaction to the news that her husband was cheating on her was also covered superbly. Her reaction was completely in line with her character and the fact that even with all her fearlessness at the end of the day, she was helpless was highlighted clearly.

Saba Qamar has given a phenomenal performance in this play. Her overall look and her acting is faultless. Ali Kazmi has also translated his character brilliantly on screen. The story and the screenplay however so far is average. All the men in the play have the same mindset with the exception of the Chaudhry who obviously isn’t a leading character in the play and Fauzia’s relationship with many of the characters directly linked to her hasn’t been explored properly. I have said this before but I feel the need to say this every time I watch a new episode of Baaghi; the characters are one-dimensional which is why so far Baaghi hasn’t exactly won me over. I watch every new episode of Baaghi with the hope that this episode will be the one but the overall impact of the story and the characters isn’t as powerful as one would expect from a drama serial which was promoted like it was the next big thing.

Quratulain Balouch Gives a Piece of Her Mind to Pseudo-Feminists!

In this day and age feminism has become a hot topic and somewhat a trend so regardless of whether one knows the meaning of it or not, they call themselves that. Many have have simply labeled themselves feminist to escape the onslaught of criticism they’d undoubtedly receive if they said otherwise.

According to the oxford dictionary, feminism is:

The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

A lot of social media warriors twist and turn the meaning of the word for their own gain and sometimes even feuds are started about its meaning in different contexts.

Furthermore, we have this disease of just wanting to prove ourself right whether we are right or wrong. We want to prove the other party that we are much more intelligent than them and so we can win against them even if what we stand for is wrong.

Quratulain Balouch, the famous Pakistani singer-songwriter had enough of it and decided out to call out the bogus feminists and intellectuals in her tweet:

A lot of people weren’t happy with her tweet and voiced their opinions on the tweet:

Yakeen Ka Safar Episode 20 Review – Important Developments

After weeks of going around in circles, the story finally moved in a new direction. Khajastha’s track and Zubia’s latest discovery that Asfand is the same guy who was there when she was in the middle of the incident which changed her life for the worst forever, has altered a lot of things about this drama and has given the story a new dimension which was much needed at this point. For weeks now the focus was entirely on Asfand’s changed personality and his attitude with Zubia in particular but tonight the focus was entirely on Zubia, which was a positive change. Zubia was seen trying to do whatever she could in order to help people around her, whether it was teaching children or helping Khajastha by giving her emotional support. This went to show that Zubia wanted a life with a purpose to help individuals who were vulnerable or in need of help. Zubia has come a long way and the development in her character has been positive but tonight the viewers saw Zubia fighting her demons once again! The past which she had left far behind haunted her yet again. She thought her present might be affected once again by something she was trying so hard to forget about and move on. For the first time Asfand seemed concerned about Zubia and the preview of the next episode suggested that very soon he will also start appreciating her efforts.

Zubia has been shown as a strong girl who might not always have the confidence to speak her mind but she has some very obvious strengths which make her character likeable. Sajal Ali has been the star of the show throughout. She made me feel for her character and relate to Zubia’s feelings instantly even in those episodes when the story was progressing at a snail’s pace. Bahadur Khan’s character was introduced in detail in this episode. The scene covering Bahadur Khan’s interaction with the people he worked with could have been chopped down if it focused only the main profile of these people. The addition of “king maker” was completely forced. His profile suggested that Zubia might get herself into trouble because she is helping Khajastha and perhaps Asfand will help her in some way. I am definitely interested in finding out where this track leads to as long as it is not stretched like every other track was in the past few weeks.

Yakeen Ka Safar Episode 20 Review - Important Developments

Rehan did not get a lot of screen time in tonight’s episode but just like the past few episodes, he was shown disturbed and upset which suggests that he is realizing his mistake and if it weren’t for his wife, he would be out looking for his sister. Rehan is a weak man who is gradually learning to think for himself for a change. I am wondering if Sheema will ultimately pay for whatever she did to Zubia because if it weren’t for her, Rehan might have given Zubia some breathing space.

The relationship between Khajastha and Zubia was the highlight of tonight’s episode for many reasons. Both the actresses involved have great chemistry and even the actress playing Khajastha’s role is acting superbly. Zubia needs Khajastha in her life just as much as she needs her. Her existence gives Zubia’s life meaning. Gaiti and Zubia’s connection is also endearing even though their scene tonight could have been covered in a better manner. When Gaiti left the house she told her in laws that Zubia found out she was related to Asfand only yesterday but when she met Zubia she said she waited a week to talk to her! Also, instead of stretching the scenes covering Asfand’s state of mind, this scene should have been given more screen time.

Zubia and Asfand’s characters have a lot in common; both of them have devoted their time and energy to helping others in order to forget the tragic incidents which changed their personalities and lives forever. Their track however could have been far more interesting if they were not so repetitive, especially in the past few weeks this drama has not given us a lot to look forward to. I also feel that the viewers would have found Asfand’s character even more likeable if every now and then we actually saw or heard him talking about his actual feelings.

Overall, this episode was definitely much more interesting than the previous few episodes. The preview of the next episode also suggested that Zubia and Asfand’s relationship will finally take a new turn.

PEMRA Issues Notices To Morning Shows!

Morning shows have become a headache with the low quality content they air. PEMRA also has become a very useless organization as they only give out notices to channels which get back to do the stuff they were warned for. This time PEMRA issued notices to morning shows of ARY and TV One for airing indecent content. The notices were issued for airing indecent content in the morning shows. Seems like PEMRA has finally seen the inappropriate dances going on in morning shows. PEMRA said that the content does not agree with our socio-cultural norms.

Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hai Episode 20 Review – Average

So this one today was a very very average kind of an episode. There wasn’t much that happened or much that was exciting. Same old stories and issues were repeated and while this drama gives us something very interesting week after week, this time atleast, it was more of space and time filler than anything else.

The emphasis of this episode was on Amber who has decided to take a stand and drag Iqra’s husband to the courts. Then she convinced Iqra to remember some of their mother’s courage and be brave enough to take a judicial action against all that Farhan did. Saboor Aly is certainly getting better in acting with each episode and despite having the most screen time today, she did quite well.

Iqra and Anum didn’t have much role in today’s story. Iqra has finally found the courage to be able to tell her story everywhere she can turn to find justice for herself. Anum is still confused about her feelings. She confides everything with Dr Jawad and they share a a very good rapport. However, when he proposed her, her tears show that she likes him but the issue of his first wife is haunting her.

In Anila’s house, things aren’t the same. This time Ahsan has reached jail while he was gambling on the streets and Sadiq, despite all his efforts could not bail him out for which Anila is quite angry at him. Maybe it is just the character but Sabreen Hisbani constantly fails to impress as Anila. The way she is playing this role, it could be played by any xyz actress but considering Sabreen, you expect her to put life in her roles like she always does but that is not the case here.

Fareeha and Shehzad and Naheed have the same argument and it ends the same way as well ; Shehzad getting angry at not being listened to and leaving Naheed’s home.

An interesting development was the meeting of Amber and Ahsan in the jail where he is locked up and she has gone for something related to her work but they shared mutual concern for the young kid behind bars, and since they have no way of knowing eachother’s identity till their families get to know about their interaction, it may be too late already. This is one plot worth looking forward to.

Saima Noor and Sajid Hassan again topped everyone else in acting skills with effortless brilliance in their respective characters. Naheed’s dialogue, “humain bhalay kuch na milay, us ko zaroor giraftar hona chaiay” was awesome. Despite earning het livelihood in such dire circumstances all her life, she is still more concerned about honor and respect as she always has been. Sajid Hasan is also phenomenal in his illiterate mannerisms and the resignation of this fact that the boy he always wanted was never meant to be and that is why he has mellowed down so much over the years.

Next episode’s promo showed some very promising plots shaping up. Stay tuned..

Celebrities who Are Performing Hajj this Year

Hajj is religious duty that every able-bodied Muslim (who can afford to do so) should do at least once in his or her lifetime.  Millions of Muslims from all around the world travel to Saudi Arabia every year to perform this fundamental of Islam. Many of our celebrities have performed this religious duty in the past years and this year even more are performing it, MaShaAllah. Religion is the part of everyone’s life and everyone is himself responsible for his good or bad deeds. A lot of people express shock or disbelief when a celebrity is caught doing something religious which is very wrong; only Allah knows where a person stands in His eyes. Judging a book by its cover is very wrong. Now let’s have a look at the celebrities performing Hajj this year:

South Africa, Malaysia and Singapore are the countries these two artists will be touring over the next few months. We wish both the artists best of luck for the gig, and hope that Ali will make Pakistan proud as always.

These days Ali Zafar is gracing our screens with his coke Studio 10 performance. Don’t know what I am talking about?

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm!

Zaid Ali Tahir, the famous Internet comedian is a one happy man these days. Zaid got married recently and informed about his big day to his fans on social media. He also posted his pictures along with his wife. People mostly congratulated him and gave best wishes to the couple but some people went on saying nasty stuff about Zaid’s wife’s looks. Some found her very young while others were complaining about her being simple on her big day. Some of the comments were like:

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm! Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm! Zaid has finally replied to the haters with a perfect answer and tweeted about how useless people’s scrutiny of his wife is:

Zaid Ali Responds To Haters With Sarcasm!

Zaid surely knows how to slam haters with his quick wit and sarcasm. He has also pointed out a bitter reality of our society that how people become reckless and comment on others without considering that the other person could get hurt. Zaid has given a befitting reply to all the people who were needlessly targeting his wife. People should always know limits while commenting on others. We wish Zaid and his beautiful wife a happy married life ahead of them!

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 – Brilliant As Usual!

This episode had some important developments to its credit and even after 19 weeks, the drama has enough substance to go on for a few more weeks while keeping the viewers interested and engaged, unlike many other dramas which tend to slow down and drag after 13 weeks or so. The most interesting aspect of this drama is that some of the negative characters are more intriguing than the positive ones. For instance, even though Nazneen does not have a single good quality in her but she is the lifeline of this show and she is the one who always plays a major role in moving the story to another direction. Shahzaib’s character is likeable without a shadow of doubt and you definitely feel for him but his character is controlled by the decisions made by other people in the drama therefore it does not have the same impact which Nazneen’s character has. Also, Shahzaib’s character is more predictable whereas with Nazneen you have no idea what she will do next. Having said that, it is good to see Mikaal Zulfiqar play such roles in two dramas back to back after a long time since he has been seen playing the role of a failed husband way too many times in the recent past. Also, Kubra Khan is playing a negative character for the first time. Nazneen’s character is not negative because she is not abiding by the rules set for her but the methods she chooses to get what she wants are all wrong. She could have taken Shahzaib into confidence before entering into nikkah with him but on the contrary she is still bent on making him look bad by forcing him into leaving her. She knows he is too decent to tell everyone what actually happened which makes it easy for Nazneen to manipulate him.

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 - Brilliant As Usual!

Reena begum is also another such character which has tons of surprises in store and is constantly growing. In this episode Rina Begum went from feeling guilty subconsciously and regretting her decision to basking in the glory of achieving more than her predecessor did. Right now she feels like the world revolves around her and there is no turning back for her. The fact that she had absolutely no idea what was in the contract she signed suggested that Nawazish Ali might be using her. Chaman Begum’s constant reminders about the reality of the life Reena Begum was now living, fell on deaf ears since she feels that she is in control of her life now and nothing can ever go wrong. Nazneen and Rina Begum’s characters have a lot in common; both of them will go to any length to get what they want. Also, they put their own desires before everything else and they fail to see where they are going wrong. Although their backgrounds are poles apart yet their personalities couldn’t have been more similar. Ushna Shah was absolutely phenomenal before she took charge of everything. For the first time for weeks, she gave a performance which was unlike any other she has given so far in her career but for the past few episodes and even in this episode there were times when she could have underplayed her character. Also, I feel that someone from her background does not pick up a refined accent this easily no matter how desperate they are to transform themselves.

Baba Jee and Shahzaib’s conversation yet again was beautifully written and translated on screen flawlessly. The connection between these two has been portrayed so well by Qavi Khan sb and Mikaal Zulfiqar. Baba Jee always knew what Shahzaib was getting himself into but he never stopped him perhaps because he wants him to learn few things himself and maybe because he knew that he shouldn’t stop him from going ahead with something his heart desired. Whatever Baba Jee said today and the calm expressions on his face suggested that he also knew that things will ultimately work out in Shahzaib’s favor. I am waiting to find out how that is going to happen. Basit was shown facing problems as well. Right now his character has been relegated to the background because the focus is entirely on whatever Nazneen is doing to turn this track around.

Alif Allah Aur Insaan Episode 19 - Brilliant As Usual!

Overall, this was another brilliant episode of a drama which continues to give you a lot to look forward to. The timeline however was confusing because Reena’s Begum’s track and dialogues like ” hamari shohrat asmano ko choo rahi hei” “is maheinay ek mujra kiya hei” suggested that at least few months had passed since Reena Begum signed the contract but Shahzaib and Nazneen’s track suggested that they had been married only for a few days. Other than that, everything about this episode was picture perfect. Right now Nazneen and Shahzaib’s track is definitely more enticing than Reena Begum’s track unlike before when I was tuning into this drama only to watch Reena Begum’s story. The director and writer of this drama in particular deserve tons of appreciation for giving the viewers something different, entertaining and well put together to watch. Am I the only one who is missing Shamu? He hasn’t been getting a lot of screen time lately.

How many of you watched this episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

PS. I am covering for Zahra, who is away for maternity leave but will be back very soon :)

What Message did Nida Yasir & her Brother give to their Mother on her Birthday?

Mothers are a blessing in our life and showing them how important they are to us is something we all should do. Mothers are the emotional backbones of every family. They provide the holding place for everyone’s feelings and do their best to keep us away from harm’s way. No love is as unconditional as a love of a mother for her children. It is mothers who teach teach us how to be a functioning adult. If they hadn’t done their job then we wouldn’t be making through the modern world at all. Nida Yasir and her brother acknowledged the importance of their mother in their life by writing very sweet, very heartfelt messages for her on her birthday.

Mahira Khan Slams Shut Fake News Regarding Her!

If someone said Mahira Khan is the queen of Pakistani Entertainment Industry, I wouldn’t disagree with them because she has reached that stage. Everyone knows who she is, respects her work and accepts that she is a real gem of Showbiz.

Any news surrounding the Humsafar actress spreads like wildfire in a forest and manages to become the talk on town within minutes. However, it is not necessary that all the news you hear about her or any other showbiz personality is true.

A recent case of a fabricated news was spotted on the internet involving her and Pakistan’s older actresses.

The fake news was relating a feud that had happened between Mahira and Meera some months back. Meera had subtly criticised Mahira but Mahira had ended the whole ‘feud’ by saying that she respects Meera Jee a lot  and can never reach her level. However, this didn’t stop the news agencies from creating a fake quotation of  the actress,

Mahira was furious when she got wind of the news and tweeted:

So apparently the local news channel Dunya news wrote about (or maybe started?) the news too and was quickly pointed out of the baseless news by the actress herself.

Dunya News admitted their mistake and apologized. Mahira Khan retweeted their tweet:

Na Maloom Afraad 2 in Trouble with UAE Censor Board

Na Maloom Afraad 2 was scheduled to release on August 31,2017 in UAE however, it has been put on hold by the UAE film Censor Board and awaits clearance from their National Media Council (NMC).

The cast of Na Maloom Afraad 2 along with the director and producer had flown to Dubai on August 28, especially for the film’s promotional events but after the Board’s decision, all the press tours and promotional events have been cancelled.

Speaking to gulfnews.com, Usaf Shariq, Head of Films Division, Urdu1 Pictures, said;

We were informed this afternoon that the film has been put on hold by the UAE censor board and a decision has yet to be taken if it can release with some cuts. We are expecting an answer today. There are seven members of the film who have flown down here and we didn’t want them facing a difficult situation until we have clarity.

Let’s hope the film manages to charm the UAE audience when it hits the UAE cinemas after meeting their censor board’s requirements.

Na Maloom Afraad 2 is set to release on September 2 in Pakistan and August 31 in UK. Here’s the trailer of the film, in case you haven’t watched it yet:

Recently he gave a very big hit in the form of Sange Mar Mar, he was fabulous in the role of Gulistan Khan. His role in Dumpukht was also very good and now he is being seen in yet another hit O Rungreza. The maturity of age has increased his charm as an actor and he is still at the top of his game.

The pictures compiled in the video below offended many of these social media warriors. Watch the video and learn what made these ninjas  type like crazy on their keyboards:

Here’s what Sanam Baloch did when Sanam Saeed Was Missing Huma Nawab!

Few things have managed to bring such a smile to my face as the video below. A lot of us have friends that we don’t get to meet often because of long distance or some other reason. But the fact remains that we miss their company every day. Our celebrities are no different; friendships are just as important to them as they are to us. Hence it is justified for Sanam Saeed to miss one of her very good friends that she hadn’t met in a long time. She expressed her sadness for not meeting her friend since long and Sanam Baloch told her she totally understood her. They then discussed Huma Nawab’s (the person Sanam Saeed was missing) career. The mood of the show suddenly became sad but it didn’t last very long! Sanam Baloch did something so good that left Sanam Saeed glowing radiantly !
