Nadia Afgan is a senior actress and she has been a part of some very hit projects in her career. From Shashlik to Suno Chanda, she has done some great and memorable characters and nowadays she is impressing everyone with her role as Shamim in Kabli Pulao. Nadia was in the news recently a lot after sh called Yumna Zaidi an overrated actress in response to a question. She had later said that sh was saying that in response to the acclaim her character Meerab has gotten and did not call her skills overrated in general.
Nadia was a guest on Mazaaq Raat and Vasay Chaudhry asked her if she is okay with being so outspoken as she was in the news and got trolled a lot for her statement. Nadia Afgan said that she always says what is on her mind and never shies away from stating what she thinks is right. So, she is not really scared of being outspoken.
Here is what she said:
She also called out all the bloggers and news pages. She said that they start reporting things out of context.

Yes, Wahaj Ali is handsome and talented and these qualities are helping him play his role as Murtasim in the blockbuster drama Tere Bin. But let’s talk about the Khan of the village, Khan Murtasim Khan and his being showcased as the biggest phenomenon in his universe. The entry of the character was phenomenal. The whole fandom was in awe of the strength and stubbornness shown by the character. They again loved the way he fell in love with his lady love Meerab played by Yumna Zaidi. The drama is progressing and now we think that he may not be the KHAN that the makers wanted him to look like and maybe the man lacks basic self-respect.
There have been many instances when Murtasim was shown not having the sought of self-respect a feudal and angry guy like him should have and it just does not make any sense now. Yes, there have been instances when he was slapping Meerab or asked her to jump off the roof and those were also out of character as Murtasim is not a cruel man but he still should have that self-respect which he lacks and here is the evidence:
Cannot Take A Stand For Himself:
Murtasim cannot speak for himself. He was married off to a girl he did not want to marry which now seems to like was a good idea on his part. He was asked to become the “gaddinasheen” and abandon his real passion which he did. He is always getting told off by other his mother or his wife and frankly never speaks for himself.
Signed A Weirdo Contract:
We respect Murtasim for always respecting the consent or the lack of it from his wife but why was he marrying a girl who was asking him to sign such a frivolous contract to not consummate their marriage? Though it was shown that he would do it to maintain his “izzat” but he kind of went against his own izzat when he signed it despite being in a powerful position.
Meerab Never Respects His Decisions:
Many would say that Murtasim can be more forthcoming with Meerab but the man is never reciprocated from the other side so why would he? And then his wife went on and defied him in front of a whole panchayat and he just takes it. I mean wasn’t he Khan Murtasim Khan? Then she went on and got kidnapped just because she cannot listen to his advice and stayed in the car in a very deserted area.
His Wife’s Communication With Her Ex-Friend:
Meerab now knows that her friend was in love with her and she still meets him, talks to him and even went to his house (She could have stopped him from dragging her to his flat) and when confronted she says she has done nothing wrong. Murtasim on the other hand is just looking miserable and doing some aerial firing because the man has no self-respect and cannot accept separation from the lady who does not want him. No need for violence but man! Just say enough is enough.
Always Begging For Love:
Anyone who has watched even a single episode of Tere Bin can not understand why Murtasim fell so fiercely in love with Meerab. She is pretty but that is where the attraction should end. But he is in full Ranjha mode and he is always begging for her love and affection which she may not have inside her as is evident by her actions.
Meerab Made His Sister Elope:
Planning a whole elopement for Murtasim’s sister and not being even sorry about it is wrong of Meerab. Everyone in this scenario is at fault from different points of view but Meerab simply tried to destroy her husband and sent her sister-in-law with a man she does not know. A man who has not shown enough courage to come forward and is only meeting them in the shadows. But Murtsaim’s self-respect is still dead as the man does not show half the reaction he did when his wife was kidnapped. He is still cozying up to Meerab who tried to destroy him and his family.
In short, Murtasim is just another Saad with more money and a bigger moustache at this point and he needs to do more if he is Khan Murtasim Khan!

No, it does not. As a matter of fact, how fluently we speak the language of the west is by no means a reflection of our intellect or skill. Our ability to do absolutely anything is not directly linked to how flawlessly we pronounce words like “plural” or “Canada”, (I’m looking at you, all the people who make fun of their Phupos or Mamos for “Canada”). Please understand that we can laugh at mispronounced words and errors in verb placement all we want but it will never change the truth that is English has nothing to do with our intellect or skill and by making fun of broken English we do nothing but undermine a perfectly good human being and degrade their value down to a few syllables.
You’ve probably already seen the video of Sarfaraz Ahmed with his mumbling English in a press conference after a glorious victory against Sri Lanka. Our Indian neighbors were quick to start making jokes at his expense and ignored everything that he had accomplished that day.
Because that is what cowards do when they know they have no comeback, when they’re out of their wits they go for your English. And as refreshing as it was to see our nation come together and fight against this, we ourselves have been at the other side of the table far too many times.
We drove a girl to an anxiety disorder because we couldn’t handle her pride. “You’re” and “your” is apparently the end to every online debate. Why is it so hard for some people to understand that grammar Nazism will never be funny, but it will always be irrelevant. The English left us free but left behind their most damning chain, the English Language and we gleefully tied ourselves up. We used it as the divide between rich and poor, smart and stupid, modern and backwards. I understand that English is a global language and makes communication with the rest of the world easier. It is a powerful tool no doubt but a lack in proficiency in English does not mean a lack in anything else. In the words of Alif Allah aur Insaan Star, Ushna Shah “We, as a nation, are so inferior that we believe those who can speak faultless English are above the ones who can’t.”
We also seem to forget that even learning English is a privilege that many of us in Pakistan andIndia do not receive and making fun of someone for having to express themselves in a language they do not fully understand is nothing short of cruel. It reduces confidence not only in the ones we laugh at but our own mother tongue Urdu. The introduction of ‘Why English’ summed it up by saying, “The expansion of English continues to impact in negative ways on other languages and their cultures. While English opens the doors of privilege and access for some, often the few, the way many countries organise education systems means that the English door is closed for the many.”
Muhammad Ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi became the father of algebra without ever learning the difference between ‘there’ and ‘their’. Al Jazari wrote The Book of Knowledge of Indigenous Mechanical Devices without a care for which colon was more appropriate. Our forefathers were some of the most skilled and brightest minds of their era and they spoke, wrote and breathed their mother tongue. If they had been judged on their ability to speak a second language, would civilization have been the same today? If they had been ridiculed till their self esteem was shattered we might be reading a foreigner’s name in our books instead of theirs.
So please whenever you feel the need to correct someone over a misplaced adjective or a giggle over at word pronunciations, realize the effect you may have and the unnecessary of it. Realize that they may not have had the same advantages as you. Realize that English is just a language and nothing more. Realize that they are just as human as you.

Punjabi theatre was big back in the day with shows running for years and people from prestigious positions coming and supporting the plays as well as the artists.

Also, if you are talking about my videos with weird thumbnails or bad captions, I would not say anything to them, by doing so, our society is reflecting itself, it’s revealing their thought process that what kind of people they are, it only reflects badly on them, it is not putting me in bad light, the world is watching them. I will not stop them”. Here is the link to the video:
The world of showbiz is cut throat and we have seen many people who were not able to take it in the industry and left at some point.

We saw Bushra Ansari, Huma Nawab, Marina Khan, Zainab Qayyum, Mahira Khan, Yumna Zaidi and Sehar Khan joining the round table and they all shared their opinion about criticism they have gotten from their peers and how that has affected them.

Yumna Zaidi also agreed with Mahira Khan and said that feedback by your fellow actors is very important and negative comments made by them can hit you hard. Bushra Ansari shared that she loves to praise the new talent as she was praised by her own seniors like Uzma Gillani and this is a tradition she likes to carry forward.
Mahira has been criticized by many people from the industry in her career. Recently, Meera called her acting dull in The Legend of Maula Jatt while Yumna Zaidi was just called overrated by Nadia Afgan.
Here is how celebrities feel about criticism from fellow artists:

When replying to Maliha’s question about whether he regrets those statements, he said, “Yes, I do regret my statements because the truth slips out of my mouth. My family is quite worried about this nature of mine. Now I’m very reluctant; I do care a lot now. That’s why I have stopped doing podcasts, because broadcasters and podcasters do this for the sake of money. They take out masala and controversial content and twist words the way they want because people love it. They should feel ashamed. It is one thing to be trapped in a controversy — but tell me, is there any problem in speaking the truth?” Here is the link to the video:

Replying to the question that will she be returning to acting, Aiman mentioned that “I think I’ll take a little more time because my daughter is too young and I don’t want to leave her alone. I’m actually enjoying motherhood because I’ve worked a lot and it’s been 4 years now that I’ve taken a break from showbiz.”
“I will return to acting if I’ll get a good script. I’m happy to see that the audience is waiting for my comeback on television screens”, added Aiman Khan.
Dodi Khan is a renowned Pakistani fitness trainer and actor known for his television and film appearances in Akhara, Mann Mast Malang, Durj, Ghabrana Nahi Hai, Chaudhary, and others. He will soon be seen in the Eid ul Adha release Zombied and Green Entertainment’s upcoming drama serial Aik Muhabbat Aur. In 2025, Dodi Khan made headlines after Rakhi Sawant proposed to him and expressed her wish to marry him. The news went viral in India and Pakistan; however, Dodi Khan refused to accept her proposal.
Recently, Dodi Khan appeared on Azlan Shah’s podcast for Metatainment. During the podcast, he revealed the reality behind Rakhi Sawant’s marriage proposal.
Talking about it, Dodi Khan said, “Rakhi Sawant is not the kind of person she portrays herself to be in the media. Just like people judge me through my tattoos and media image, they often find me very different in real life — serious and someone who follows a healthy routine. When people meet me, their perspective changes. Likewise, Rakhi Sawant is not the person she displays herself as in the media. She is a very sweet, cute, honest, and lovely person. She is a very good friend of mine and will always remain my friend. We share a close relationship. Of course, I can’t share everything on media because people on social media tend to exaggerate things.” Watch video here:
Dodi Khan also expressed good words for Rakhi Sawant in Nadia Khan’s morning show Rise and Shine. Nadia Khan also praised her for her pro Pakistani stance. Watch here:
Rakhi Sawant and Dodi Khan were supposed to be the new couple in town. Dodi Khan is a Pakistani actor whom we have seen in Akhara and things were shocking for fans from both sides of the border when the news of the duo’s marriage came on the horizon. The public had different questions from both of them and everybody thought a cross-border marriage was about to happen.
Rakhi Sawant is not going to become the daughter-in-law of Pakistan as Dodi Khan has shared that he is not going to marry her. He said that he still stands that he will find someone for Rakhi from Pakistan but he is not going to be her groom. Dodi Khan took to Instagram and shared his new update on this “wedding”.
This is the new message for Rakhi Sawant and the public from Dodi Khan:

In the UK, health officials have stopped people with allergies from getting the corona vaccine.
According to British media, the directive was issued by the Medicines and Healthcare Product Regulatory Agency, which monitors the quality of medicines and medical devices in the UK.
The British Department of Health’s regulatory agency has said that people who are allergic to certain foods, drugs or vaccines should not be vaccinated with Pfizer and BioNtech vaccines.
Authorities issued the instructions yesterday after two of the vaccinators had an allergic reaction, both from the British Department of Health and both were said to have had allergies.
Vaccination has been started since yesterday and so far thousands of people have been vaccinated.
According to the report, the Pfizer and Bio-Tech vaccines were tested on more than 20,000 people, but no such complaints were seen in any of them. People with allergies were not included in recipients .
However, authorities say improvements to the vaccination program’s monitoring system have led to the early detection of two cases of allergic reactions, so precautionary advice has been issued timely, in this regard.
The two pharmaceutical companies have not yet commented on the incident, claiming that the corona vaccine is 95% effective without any harm.
This year on Eid-ul-Fitr 5 different Pakistani films were released. COVID restrictions were lifted after two years and therefore this was the ideal time to release these films. Like every other year, there was great pressure on the producers to sell these films. They started promoting them weeks before their actual release and these promotions took a more aggressive turn as the time for the releases drew nearer. This year, the producers went as far as requesting the leading critics to avoid posting negative reviews of the film so that the public would go watch these movies instead of forming their opinions based on these reviews. Most of the actors and producers also claimed that these releases were doing so well in cinemas that people were finding it difficult to find tickets for the films.
For the past few years, we have been hearing a great deal about the revival of Pakistani cinema. It is also true that Pakistani producers have made some quality films over the years. However, every time foreign films are released, these filmmakers feel threatened. This year the controversy regarding one such much-awaited foreign film has been blown out of proportion.
What Is The Issue?
It would be safe to say that this time around, the producers did everything in their power to ensure that these films do exceptionally well at the box office. Each one of the teams used every single platform to convince the public that these films were a must-watch. However, only after 3 days, on the 4th day these releases were taken down by many cinema houses and as a result of that lesser screens were allocated to the screening of these films. This was done in order to allot more screens to Marvel’s much-awaited film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. This enraged the producers and the actors who had worked hard for years to make these films. They demanded that the authorities should take action against this decision and delay the release of Doctor Strange.
While these producers were more than happy to compete with each other and were not willing to change the dates of their films’ releases, this ‘foreign film’ was seen as an immediate threat. The protest started the second the news reached them. Most of them had the same demand; they wanted the Dr. Strange release delayed so that local content could get more screen time. They were of the opinion that it was unfair of the cinema owners to replace local content with a foreign film. Here is what they had to say:
Releasing Doctor Strange could have waited for a few days. The last thing we need when the industry is finally opening up after two years is some foreign film hijacking our screens and relegating us in a corner. Home grown cinema has more right any day. @CMShehbaz@Marriyum_Apic.twitter.com/xtzO1o5QLg
In these difficult times post covid , I stand with all the Pakistani films makers who despite all the difficulties had the courage to come up with their movies and request the cinema owners not to prefer foreign content over local. #supportpakistancinema
Marr marr ke kuch local films release hui wo bhi Doctor Strange ki nazar ho gayeen…
Aisa konsa mirgi ka dorra par raha tha ? 2 weeks baad ki appointment le letey doctor Sahab ki 🤷🏼♂️#PakistaniCinema#DoctorStrange

Putting up a foreign film when there are 5 good pak films going housefull, WHY?!Pak cinema revives after decades, gets damaged by a pandemic & then just as its about to restart a foreign film is released WHY?! Lets find a good reason why it couldn’t be delayed by a few days WHY?!
Ever since big production houses have stepped into filmmaking, the idea of ‘supporting Pakistani cinema’ has been promoted by the stakeholders. Even a critical review gets major criticism from the producers because how dare someone criticizes local films. It is almost as if the public in general and the critics, in particular, owe these filmmakers praise and appreciation solely because they invested time and money into making these films. Therefore the idea is that since these producers are adding to the ‘revival’ of Pakistani cinema, every patriotic Pakistani should be watching these films and also liking them! The ‘ideal’ therefore is just as crazy as it sounds! The producers have more expectations from their viewers than they expect the public to have from them! Therefore, somehow, watching and promoting Pakistani films is considered another way of being patriotic.
While it is true that watching local films will add to the revenue and contribute to the revival of cinema, it is unfair and even silly of the producers to expect people to spend their hard-earned money on films that are rarely as entertaining as some of the foreign films which these producers consider a threat. This reminds me of the time when Turkish dramas started airing on local channels and the local industry felt threatened. At the end of the day, the public does and will ‘support’ quality content whether it is local or foreign and they should be given the choice to do so!
Verdict of the Public
Since the stakeholders were publicly supporting delaying Dr. Strange’s release, there were plenty of people who decided to share their two cents on the issue. It can easily be stated that the majority of the people were waiting for Dr.Strange’s release. They also felt that the Pakistani filmmakers should understand the fact that people will watch Pakistani films if they provide the kind of entertainment which draws people to the cinema houses.
Producers fixate on Eid releases & shoot themselves in the foot. Why are 4 (not even counting that last one) films released on the SAME day?! Only 1, max 2, can succeed. Can anything really be a HIT? Producers need to get plan better. Also yes, stronger content. #PakistaniFilmshttps://t.co/F7jQAVMDf9
Yep. Never seen people queuing up to buy tickets for Pak movies. Sad but the audience is not to be blamed,it’s the makers & actors blatantly & poorly ripping off BW & the fact that Pak has no actors or actresses with movie star glamour to get ppl to watch even if the movie is bad
When you see media industry crying about Pakistani cinema’s being hijacked by Foreign films. Man, it’s so hard to even look at your posters. The world is entertaining into 5th dimensions and you still want to screen “Bajre di whatever” over Dr. Strange? 😭 Cinema Revival? Ffs 🤢
Genuinely asking all the people who like watching Pakistani films. Most Pakistani films I’ve seen are mediocre and cringe af. But what are some of the movies you’ve seen (released in recent years) that are well-made and engaging?
Never forget that the current discourse on Pakistani cinema isn’t about giving visibility to our films but about a group of people crying about not making enough money
It is pretty clear from the public reaction that the viewers want the option to choose from a variety of films. The majority of the cinema-goers are also not too keen on watching all of the Pakistani films released this year. The reasons for this are obvious as well – the most common being the lack of quality content and lack of interest in watching the same actors perform on the big screen who the viewers watch on the small screen on daily basis! The public is also not willing to take up the challenge of contributing to the revival of the Pakistani films since they would much rather watch a foreign film that offers better content.
Final Remarks
So, is Dr. Strange’s early release a threat to Pakistani film revival? The answer is clearly in negative but a delay of in the release could have been a bigger threat to cinema businesses in the country since many Marvel fans had already bought the tickets for the film. However, the substandard films being produced by the makers in Pakistan are definitely a more real threat. Cinema-goers who would much rather watch Pakistani films will do so irrespective of the foreign films that are released. If the cinemas were earning enough revenue from Pakistani films alone, they would have given them more screens as well, that is simple logic! You cannot force businesses to sacrifice their own revenues in order to contribute to the revival of the Pakistani film industry! The producers also should not expect the public to oblige. At the end of the day, the people decide what they want to watch in cinemas and they have clearly given their verdict!
