Model and actor Anzela Abbasi has said that her mother played the role of both parents in her life, ensuring that she never felt the absence of her father.

In a recent appearance on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, Anzela spoke about her parents’ divorce, her upbringing, and her relationship with her mother and father. 

She said, “My mom had me in her twenties, which is quite young to have a child. It’s not that she wasn’t working, but for me, she played the roles of both mom and dad. I never felt my father’s absence and had no complaints about her in that sense.”

Anzela added that while she sometimes felt hurt as a child because of her parents’ separation, she later understood that “every person has their own emotions.”

 She explained that her mother managed both parental roles while raising her and balancing professional life at a young age.

Talking about moving out of the family home, Anzela said, “I had that conversation when I was 22. I moved out and decided that I would earn and become independent. It was quite a debate with my mom, but after moving out, our relationship improved. She trusted me, and would come over, she would bring food, and we used to have a good time. Later, I moved back in with her when she asked me to get settled in life.”

Speaking about her father, actor Shamoon Abbasi, Anzela said, “I admit he is a great actor, but I don’t know which side of him to relate to. Honestly, I don’t follow my parents’ work; it’s their job. When I was younger, I could relate to him because I have seen him multitasking. He is an actor, director, producer and writer. Now, I want to try everything, but I don’t necessarily look up to him in that way.”

She also shared a lesson she learned from him, saying, “What I learned from my father is to keep working on my craft and continually improve myself in whatever I do.”

Anzela Abbasi is the daughter of actors Javeria Abbasi and Shamoon Abbasi. Her parents married in 1997 and separated in 2007. She was born two years after their marriage. She gained recognition for her performances in dramas including Laal Ishq, Gila, and Haqeeqat, and married Tashfeen Ansari in August 2023.

Pakistani actor Amna Malik, who is currently starring in the hit drama ‘Jama Taqseem’, has revealed how she “once told a Jinn to return some missing money”, and actually got it back.

Appearing on Tabish Hashmi’s show ‘Hasna Mana Hai’, she said that some money of hers once disappeared from her house. “Before that, my jewelry or clothes used to go missing every now and then,” Malik said, adding how she first suspected that it was her domestic help’s doing, but it was not that.

“Someone told me that Jinns roam around houses and some Jinn‑children play pranks by hiding things […] if the Jinns are good, you speak to them and they return the items,” she said.

Malik recalled how she addressed the unseen presence and said, “Whoever you are… in my house, young or old, please do not hide my things… return them.”

Later in the evening, she said, the money that had gone missing was found.

Malik said it scared her and her children, but since then, “Whenever something goes missing at home, I talk to the Jinns.”

Fans were quick to react to the story, with one commenting, “Jinn peson ka kia krty .” Another joked, “Netflix ki subscription leni ho gi for this show.” 

This is not the first time a Pakistani celebrity has narrated some sort of supernatural experience of theirs.

Actress Samina Peerzada also once shared a similar story, recalling that she was attacked by a Jinn right before the shooting of her horror film Deemak.

“I asked the house help two or three times to turn on the light, but when no one did, I went to the backyard myself and turned it on.” 

“Someone pushed me hard from behind. I fell far away and got several injuries. But there was no one there except me. It was a Jinn.”

Despite the shock, she said she carried on. “After the incident, I bandaged my injury and went straight to the shoot. I completed the shooting.”

Actor Hira Soomro also once shared her own supernatural encounter while staying at a hotel in the picturesque Naran Valley. 

On a podcast she said, “I am 100 percent sure jinns exist in Naran, that place feels heavy.” 

She also recalled how her hotel room door “kept opening and closing on its own” and how she “heard the flush in the bathroom go off twice without anyone inside”.

Rumors about trouble between singer Aima Baig and her husband, fashion designer and Rastah CEO Zain Ahmad, grew stronger this week after both took unusual steps on Instagram.

Aima deactivated her Instagram account last month, and now Zain has deleted all wedding photos from his profile. Fans noticed the change within hours and immediately began discussing the possibility of a split.

This is not the first time fans have questioned the couple’s relationship. In October, Zain suddenly unfollowed Aima on Instagram. The move triggered speculation of differences between the two, but Zain later said that a technical glitch caused the issue. He also said that their wedding photos did not disappear and that he moved them to the archive folder.

Aima and Zain married in August 2025 in Lahore. Their marriage has not completed one full year, yet online discussions about a possible separation have returned with full force.

Before marrying Zain, Aima was engaged to actor Shehroz Shigri. The two met during the shoot of the film Parey Hut Love. The singer announced the end of the engagement in September 2022.

After that breakup, Aima and Zain grew close. Fans often saw them together at public events, and Aima commented warmly on Zain’s posts. Many took the interactions as confirmation of their relationship.

In recent months, Aima stepped away from the music scene and reduced activity on Instagram. She used to post casual stories, chat with followers and share updates about her songs, but she has been quiet for a while now. Zain stayed focused on his brand, and Aima’s silence added to the curiosity.

Now that Zain has removed all their photos, fans believe something serious may be happening. Neither Aima nor Zain has commented on the speculation, but social media remains full of prayers and good wishes for both.
