  • Another PIA hostess ‘goes missing’ in Paris

    Another PIA hostess ‘goes missing’ in Paris

    The air-hostess of a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight has “gone missing” in France.

    According to the administration of the flag carrier, 30-year-old Shazia Saeed was part of the crew on PIA’s April 6 Sialkot-Paris flight.

    β€œShe was found missing when the Paris-Lahore flight was scheduled to leave for its destination on Tuesday. The PIA station manager in Paris reported the matter to the authorities there,” a PIA spokesperson was quoted as saying.

    According to Dawn, the Lahore-based hostess may seek asylum in Europe and in that case, PIA may remove her from service.

    The disappearance of PIA flight crew members in Europe and North America is not new as in September 2018, a hostess, Fareeha Mukhtar, who was earlier barred from traveling on international routes, went missing in Canada.

    Mukhtar was suspended from service in 2015 over allegations of smuggling currency and mobile phones.

    She was later traced in Toronto where she was staying with former air hostess Mahira who had also disappeared two years ago.

  • Alia Bhatt…or Sanam Saeed?

    Alia Bhatt…or Sanam Saeed?

    Nothing better than two women applauding each other.

    Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt, while promoting her upcoming film, Kalank, said that she took inspiration from Sanam Saeed’s character Kashf in Zindagi Gulzar Hai to prepare for her role in the film.

    “Abhishek [the director] asked me to watch Zindagi Gulzar Hai,” Alia said in the interview, adding, “The character of Kashaf in the show is very much how Roop will deal with the situation.”

    “She has responsibility on her shoulders so she is not always a happy person. She is vulnerable yet strong. It is difficult (to bring so many) layers – unhappy, vulnerable and strong to a character. Abhishek kept saying that I should be irritating.”

    Sanam Saeed responded to Alia’s comments on Twitter, saying:

    Kalank, a pre-partition drama, also starring Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha, is set to release on April 17.
