Team Teefa in Trouble was spotted in the recent Instagram pictures posted by Maya Ali and Ali Zafar. The pictures are from the dinner hosted by Maya Ali herself. Team Teefa celebrates the debut of Maya Ali and Ali Zafar in the Pakistani action-packed movie and is all set for a successful go, keeping the hopes high.

Here are the latest pictures of the dinner hosted by Maya Ali for Teefa in Trouble’s cast:

The talented and charming actor of our country, Fawad Khan has caught the attention of many Indian celebrities after working in bollywood movies, ‘Khoobsurat’, ‘Kapoor and Sons’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. Fawad, already a big name in Pakistan, no doubt has also earned many admirers from across the border too.

His co-star of the movie ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ , Ranbir Kapoor, while talking to a local news paper admits that he is also an admirer of Fawad Khan. He also says that his parents also like him. His mother, Neetu, often watches Fawad’s popular TV shows. In addition, he says that it is unfortunate that Fawad had to bear the burnt of political change.

While addressing a newspaper Ranbir Kapoor states:

“I am a big admirer of Fawad as a talent. His role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil added so much of dignity and so much of an impact. He was kind enough to do it as it was like a guest appearance, it wasn’t a big part. It was unfortunate that due to the political climate Fawad had to bear the brunt. But he is someone who I admire and I also connected to him as a friend. I would love to do a film with him where we can share the screen space for a longer time.”

He further admits:

“I loved his part in Kapoor and Sons. My parents are his fans. My mother is borderline obsessed with Fawad, she has been watching serials like Humsafar.”

It seems like Fawad has gained some Indian celebrity audience also.

Mahira Khan’s beauty and charm has won her many hearts in Pakistan. She is among the most beautiful Pakistani actresses of today. Recently we got to know that we are not the only ones so besotted by her. Rather, there are people across the globe, and very famous ones at that who are equally smitten by her.

You would not believe who praised her the latest. In a program where he was playing rapid fire during the promotion of his movie Jagga Jasoos, Ranbir Kapoor named Mahira Khan from Pakistan as among the most beautiful actresses along with Katrina Kaif and Shraddha Kapoor from his own land.
We have to hand it to Ranbir Kapoor for being so fair and honest when naming the beauties of the world. He also added Hollywood’s Wonder Woman Gal Gadot in the mix.

Mahira certainly has an ethereal quality to her beauty that is almost magical. Without any cosmetic surgery done to cover her flaws, Mahira manages to capture every eye around her, and with her recent international ventures,one right into the heart of Bollywood, it is no wonder people are remembering how beautiful she is, and Ranbir is certainly no exception.

Whenever an international event is to make place in our country, we start praying that it goes out smoothly without any incident that could further taint our country’s reputation. The same happens when international stars visit here and lately the latter happens much more than the former. In fact, I can’t even the last time we had an international event in Pakistan. Due to the fear of terrorism, our country has been deemed unfit by various countries and international organizations,  to host international events or even for international teams to visit Pakistan.

In these dark times, the football superstar Ronaldinho and the Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs proved to be rays of hope. These two visited our country, participated in a tournament and showed it to the world that Pakistan is a safe country to visit and play.

Of course, all the players were welcomed and provided with tight security, handled by Pakistan Army.

Ronaldinho expressed his gratitude to the Army Chief in the following tweet:

Pakistan is peaceful & loving. Thanks #PakArmyChief Thanks #Pakistan See you again… @OfficialDGISPR @LeisureLeaguePK @wgtrunkwala1912

— Ronaldinho (@10Ronaldinho) July 9, 2017

Have a look at the security in a footage the footballer himself had shared earlier:

Thanks Karachi! Thanks Pakistan! #RonaldinhoAndFriends #🇵🇰 pic.twitter.com/9etcnQFkMN

Pakistan Army has once again made us proud. A huge thank you to them for all the efforts they put in to make this event a success from our side too. These heart-felt comments from the star athletes of the world are a tremendous success for our country’s image in the world and they prove that the time for international sports to return back to Pakistan has come.

Actors are known to change their transformations for the roles they play. Not only is an actor’s acting performance important to portray a character to perfection, but appearance too. It’s usual to hear the actors gaining pounds or working out for a six-pack for their roles but the ladies seem to be a bit behind to these body transformation in our Industry. Well…not anymore! We are here to inform you that Mahira Khan, the nazuk si larki, is putting on weight for her role in Muala Jutt 2! We’ve already seen Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi hitting it hard in the gym for their macho looks for the said movie, it was about time for the female cast to put in their share too! The petite actress is trying very hard to gain some pounds: https://twitter.com/TheMahiraKhan/status/884281971861540864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brandsynario.com%2Fmahira-khan-toughens-maula-jatt-2%2F You would think Mahira informed of this in an interview or on the red carpet but no…she gave it away in an answer to one of her fans on twitter. Have a look at the tweets: https://twitter.com/latchingonto/status/884441826928852998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brandsynario.com%2Fmahira-khan-toughens-maula-jatt-2%2F https://twitter.com/TheMahiraKhan/status/884590149601865732?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brandsynario.com%2Fmahira-khan-toughens-maula-jatt-2%2F Those who want to gain some weight. Try what Mahira is doing: https://twitter.com/TheMahiraKhan/status/884589616728166401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brandsynario.com%2Fmahira-khan-toughens-maula-jatt-2%2F Though Mahira Khan confirmed that she is gaining weight for the role, another actress who is rumored to be gaining weight for her character Daroo Natti is Humaima Malick. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUTyg2Bhj79/?taken-by=humaimamalick We wish them both best of luck for their future endeavours and hope that they will keep making Pakistan proud!

Momina Mustehsan is a 23-year-old New York-based, Pakistani song writer and singer. She was co-writer and co-singer to Farhan Saeed’s very popular ‘Pee Jaun’ but shot to relative fame when she sang playback for the band Soch in the Bollywood film Ek Villian, on a song called ‘Awaari’. In addition, her rendition of the song Afreen kept everyone hooked and it wasn’t just because of the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was in the duet. She has gained so much fame that now there is hardly anyone who hasn’t heard the voice of Momina Mustehsan and fallen in love with it.

Recently,she starred in L’Oréal’s TVC and though her hair looks great, we still are a little disappointed. As above started, there is no doubt that she is an amazing singer with one of the melodious voices of her time, but she isn’t that good when it comes to acting.

Her acting in the TVC seems very mechanical and expressionless. But, I believe that she can improve. We’ve watched our cricket players become excellent models and actors in the past years and acting and cricket seem further from acting and singing!

Fahad Mustafa gave an interview to Images where he claimed that he is the only star in Pakistan who has gained immense popularity without doing any hit Bollywood movie. The statement didn’t go well with Shaan Shahid who is undoubtedly the biggest star in the country.

Shaan commented on Fahad’s statement: “A lot of good actors have never went to India yet they have been quite popular here including Waheed Murad, Shahid, Rahat Kazmi,  Usman Peerzada, Umar Shareef, Faisal Rehman, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Bilal Ashraf, Faisal Qureshi, Nouman Ejaz and Danish Taimoor,”

Shaan also praised Fahad on his work and asked him to keep going: “You are doing good work Fahad, keep your head down and focus on your work and let the people say what you are saying. You are the only actor in Pakistan who can do a TV game show and do films together. Keep up the hard work. Films don’t have rating meters. Every Friday is a test.”

Previously Fahad’s has negated Shaan’s statement that over-exposure diminishes stardom.

Sajal Aly has impressed viewers near and far with her brilliant performance in Bollywood’s MOM. The diva is going to adorn your screens once again in the form of drama serial O Rangreza by HumTv.

Bilal Abbas Khan is playing the male lead in the play opposite Sajal Aly. Two teasers have been released of the show so far and both of them are impressive and give quite a lot to look forward to. They are coordinated, colourful and give glimpses into the world of O Rangreza, without revealing too much.

The first teaser shows both hero and heroine in a colour fight with eachother. Their personas are shown beautifully in the trailer; Bilal is mesmerised by Sajal, forgetting that they are in a fight and just holds still in the moment in awe of Sajal’s beauty, while she is vibrating with life, playing with colours and celebrating her success like a girl who has not known much beyond happiness in life till now.

https://www.facebook.com/ORungreza/videos/132880673964695/

The next teaser shows some clearer dynamics between the duo. It seems as if Bilal Abbas is an orphan and lives with Sajal’s family, while Sajal being the headstrong and pampered daughter of the family enjoys dominating him completely. Somewhere along the lines, this relationship will take a romantic turn and we are eagerly waiting for the drama to see how and when that happens and the aftermath of it all.

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has bagged international awards twice for her philanthropic efforts especially to empower women of today. She is recently in U.K. for her live exhibit called Home1947 in The Lowry, Manchester that was a tribute to all the people that had lost lives, homes and families in 1947 and to depict how people of subcontinent had lived before the two countries were separated.

The showcase exhibits short dramas, documentaries and historical architecture to demonstrate the rich culture that had been the lives of so many people whose roots are from the Indopak Subcontinent.

Also in London is the world famous singer Bruno from U2, who has been awarded the title of “The Knight” from the Queen due to his philanthropic efforts. Sharmeen and Bono met in the city, had some pictures taken and discussed the efforts that they had been doing in order to acknowledge and appreciate women. Bono told her about the tribute the band had paid to women during their recent concerts where they were celebrating The Joshua Tree Album in London during this tour.

As news have it, Shirmeen and Bono also discussed the efforts they could do together in order to promote their philanthropic movements for the women internationally.

Its dashing Feroze Khan’s birthday. The handsome hunk is the brother of actresses Humaima Malik and Dua Malik. Feroze is no doubt one of the most promising new comers of the industry. He has floored us with his performance in Gul e Rana where he played a baddie and Chup Raho. The actor also has one film in his kitty.

So today marks his 27th birthday and we wish him all the best for his future endeavours. You will be watching the star soon in Khaani and a telefilm by Mehreen Jabbar.

Lots of wishes and a very Happy Birthday to Feroze Khan!

Fahad Mustafa is currently one of the biggest stars in the country. People love his game show and his films are becoming super hits one after another. Fahad gave an interview to Images and the actor didn’t hold back on anything. Look what he had to say about anything or everything; from stardom to bollywood he just poured out his heart.

Of course, you do tend to make some very unique wardrobe choices – some would even call them eccentric. You have often credited a brand called Cherry for your clothing. Who is Cherry exactly?

Fahad Mustafa : Cherry is a tailoring brand that I have been going to my whole life. I am probably one of the few TV personalities who believes in paying for my wardrobe and I do so happily because I enjoy devising my wardrobe with Cherry. They just understand what I want. I don’t believe in throwing about names of designer labels just to prove to the world that I am a star. What’s the difference between Cherry and our so-called designers? They all have tailors sitting in their workshops and if they all create well-finished clothes then there’s really no difference.

So you plan out your wardrobe and styling yourself?

Fahad Mustafa: Yes. If I look good, the credit goes to me and if I am a walking disaster it’s my own fault. I was hosting a live show for 30 days and blunders are bound to occur. I still think that I was less of a disaster than certain others.

You did indulge in a lot of layers and your clothes were very fitted…

Fahad Mustafa: It’s a chilled studio so the layers are not a problem. Also, I am thin – if I want to wear fitted clothes, why shouldn’t I?

Your game show may be a huge hit but some of the ‘games’ that you played were extensively criticised. Was it necessary to demean people by rewarding the ones who weighed the most?

Fahad Mustafa: The people who were playing the games didn’t mind so why should the rest of the world? It’s a game show and everything is in good fun. I am probably the only male host who interacts very easily with women in the audience. They hug me, shake hands with me, even high-five me. They trust me, I respect them and we all have a great time together. You should see the excitement on the set during a show – it’s like an India-Pakistan match!

But perhaps you could have used your status as a popular host to elevate your show to certain intellectual standards? Scriptwriter Anwar Maqsood commented that this year’s Ramazan transmissions made him wish that there would be a power shutdown right around show-time!

Fahad Mustafa: It’s easy to criticise. I’d rather entertain than deliver solemn lectures. If Anwar Maqsood is so perturbed by diminishing standards why doesn’t he train others to be like him? I prefer to give messages while laughing along with people rather than by sermonising.

In your show, you often make jibes regarding Aamir Liaquat Hussain, your main competitor in the game-show arena. Why do you indulge in such open rivalry?

Fahad Mustafa: I love Aamir bhai and whatever he does in his show, I still watch it. When I used to host a morning show for the Hum Network three years ago, Aamir bhai would come as a guest to my show on receiving a single call from me. I am a bit hesitant when it comes to discussing religious topics and so I would ask him to chalk out a list of questions for me. I would ask them as is and he would reply. I comment about him frequently on my game show but it is all in good humor and Aamir bhai knows this.

Moving on to cinema, your Na Maloom Afraad 2 releases soon and you’re also going to be starring in the sequel to Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. Both movies are expected to be hits but don’t you tire of playing the same kind of roles over and over again, of the street-smart, poverty-stricken boy-next-door?

Fahad Mustafa: I am like that – why shouldn’t I enjoy playing such roles? They have worked for me so far and besides, I also acted in Mah-e-Meer which was completely different.

It was also a movie that failed at the box office. What prompted you to be part of Mah-e-Meer?

Fahad Mustafa: I think every actor dreams of being part of a movie like Mah-e-Meer. I am Sindhi-speaking and yet I managed to play Meer to an audience that consisted of intellectuals who dissect everything to bits and pleased them to a large extent. It got me critical acclaim and as an actor, that means a lot to me. Of course, I would never produce a movie like Mah-e-Meer and if I ever do, I would keep it restricted to festivals because it certainly didn’t have any mass appeal. The Mah-e-Meer premiere was the only time I reached an event two hours late. I kept circling the cinema wondering if I should go or not.

You seem to have a very good equation with director Nabeel Qureshi who has cast you three times in a row – for Na Maloom Afraad,Actor-In-Law and now, Na Maloom Afraad 2. Why do you think he opts for you and not other young actors?

Fahad Mustafa: Nabeel will cast me in his fourth movie too. It’s because he has seen that if he works hard, I will work just as hard with him. We have done some very expensive shoots together and we have also sat together on roadsides and had discussions.

I don’t believe that I am a great actor but I am very hard-working. I enjoy my work. I also don’t see any point in putting on airs and graces just to prove to my co-workers that I am a huge star. Attitude problems, I believe, are the main reason why many of our actors aren’t able to succeed.

And you say this from your experiences with other actors?

Fahad Mustafa: Yes. There have been so many times when I have visited my productions and the actors working there ask out loud, “Who is he?”

Why do they have to be so petty? I am well-known in my country and besides, I am the one who signs their cheques. Why do they have to feign these pretenses in order to emphasise that they are stars?

There are also so many actors who have huge egos on the basis of their social media followings. Certain makeup artists and salons encourage them to behave like divas and they get lost in a bubble that disconnects them completely from the audience that they have to cater to. They will say that they want to be ‘exclusive’. Why do they want to be exclusive? So that nobody hears them or sees them? Why do they feel so superior towards the masses? They are the ones that have to accept them as stars in order for them to be successful.

Perhaps by being exclusive, these celebrities want to be seen as larger-than-life stars? Shaan Shahid recently commented about you that while you have potential, you are losing your star-power by becoming too mass-centric…

Fahad Mustafa: I think Shaan Bhai’s theory gets negated immediately because despite being seen in a very mass-centric live show, my movies are still hits. TV can be run by network heads and their particular favorites may be preferred there but cinema’s the one medium where an actor becomes successful on the basis of his popularity with the masses.

Now that you have gained a huge fan-base in Pakistan, would you consider expanding it further by acting in Indian cinema?

Fahad Mustafa: I wouldn’t work in India unless I got offered a project that was truly interesting. It’s certainly not my ambition to become a Bollywood star. A long time ago, Humayun Saeed said something to me that I have always remembered: India can be a bonus but it can never be a perpetual career path for a Pakistani actor.

I recently worked with Indian director Pradeep Sarkar for a commercial and even though he was very amiable towards me, we eventually ended up discussing India and Pakistan. It’s just something that we can’t avoid and I refuse to believe that any local actor who goes to India to work doesn’t get to hear comments about Pakistan. They have to curb their personalities there and why should they have to?

Additionally, our actors tend to return from India with surreal expectations from the local industry. We don’t have the budgets for the vanity vans and fringe benefits that are now part of Bollywood. Actors need to understand this before they start throwing tantrums.

Look at Javed Sheikh. He is one of the finest actors in our country and he’s working in productions from all over the world and yet, he gives respect to whoever he works with. We need to understand that eventually, we have to pave our careers in Pakistan. Why work against each other when it could be easier to just work with each other?

For one of the country’s biggest stars, you’re surprisingly humble. How do you keep the success from going to your head?

Fahad Mustafa: There was a time when I rode a motorbike and I travelled in buses and I haven’t forgotten it.

Right now, I think I am just going through a lucky run in my career. All my life, I have made some very bad decisions. I was supposed to be a pharmacist and I dropped out in third year. And I believe that one day, this phase in my career will also end. My game show gets very high ratings in Ramazan but I never ask my bosses at the ARY Network what the numbers are. I just brace myself for the day when the ratings won’t be as high, when I’ll be fading out. This is what keeps me grounded.

Besides, what’s the charm in having a bloated ego? I enjoy my work and I want others to enjoy it with me. The staff in my production company includes young people who are talented and are willing to work hard to get somewhere. And I never dictate them like I am their boss. We just work together.

Did you branch out into production particularly because actors can fade out with age and then, they can develop their careers as producers?

Fahad Mustafa: I like producing. My father was a producer back in the STN days and so I understand the nitty-gritties. Of course, as an actor, there is always the fear that one day you will not get offered any work. In such a scenario, I’d rather create my own content. Credit for my success as a producer also largely goes to the ARY Network. They have always promoted my work fairly and equally with that of others.

Three years down the line, your equation with the ARY Network is still going strong. Have you considered branching out to other networks as well?

Fahad Mustafa: Currently, my productions are airing on ARY Network and Urdu1. Should the need arise, I will work with the others too but I am satisfied with the direction that I have taken with my career. For three years, my CEO at ARY, Jerjees Seja, and I have been working together and we still get along. We laugh together and worked together every day during Ramazan. That’s a rare equation.

Besides, I have learnt that it is better to work with the people who want to work with you rather than run after those who don’t really care. For three years, prior to coming on board with ARY, I hosted a morning show for the Hum Network and I think I got completely drained physically and mentally at the time. Perhaps they didn’t see the potential in me but I felt that I just couldn’t match up to their particular favourite group of actors.

When you work with someone who believes in you, your work improves, you look better, feel better. My career immediately mushroomed after joining ARY. It’s just better to work with people who are truly interested in working with you.

The most beautiful actress of modern times, Mahira Khan has a fantastic approach to dressing up. There is nothing that the actress cannot pull off beautifully and look extremely chic and glamorous in that. However it is pretty apparent that Mahira herself is most comfortable in simplistic attires. Her job however dictates glamour, makeup and the most modern of dresses. This time Mahira tweeted about her personal preference regarding going to events.

Her tweet was met with some very interesting replies. Here we are showing you some of the best ones.

Hareem Farooq apparently has the same ideas about dressing up casually and comfortably.

hamza Ali Abbasi was quick to reply that she can actually wear what and how she wants it and I think he knows as well as we do that she is going to rock simpler outfits as beautifully as she does the glamorous ones.

Hamza’s tweet got the fans excited about the exchange between their favourite on screen couple.

Mesha Shafi was also there to recognize and appreciate Mahira’s wish and remind her that she can fulfill it as she wants.

So now that Mahira has the support of her industry fellows maybe we are getting to know about the upcoming trend right now.
