Bollywood comedian Rajpal Yadav, known for his iconic roles in films such as Phir Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Chup Chup Ke, is a fan of Pakistani comedians. 

Appearing as a guest on Nadir Ali’s podcast, Rajpal Yadav praised the late Pakistani geniuses Umer Sharif and Moin Akhtar for their unmatched talent.

 
“Umer Sharif and Moin Akhtar were the kings of their craft, their talent kept you glued to the screen. You couldn’t afford to look away. Especially in ‘Loose Talk’ , every dialogue and gesture by Moin Akhtar was priceless,” the Indian star said in effusive praise. 

The Dhol actor recalled listening to Umer Sharif’s audio cassettes, describing him as a naturally gifted artist.

Umer Sharif, the Karachi-based superstar, revolutionised stage comedy with his ground breaking shows in the 1980s and 1990s. The comedian, who dabbled in films too, passed away of cancer in 2021 at the age of 66. 

Moin Akhtar, largely known as the most influential humourist of the subcontinent, was a master of improv on television and theatre. The great artist passed away suddenly in 2011 at the age of 61, leaving his fans in Pakistan and India in deep mourning.

Guys, its finally happening! Actors Gohar Rasheed and Kubra Khan are now husband and wife, even though we can safely assume that some wedding ceremonies are yet to take place. 

The two stars have started a new chapter in their lives with a sacred Nikah ceremony in Makkah. 

Gohar Rasheed shared pictures from their Nikah, including one where he and Kubra stood in front of the Kaaba. Another  picture showed both of them placing their hands on the Holy Kaaba.  

Alongside the photos, The Man Jogi actor wrote: “12.02.25 Under the Kursi of Allah… 70 thousand Angels as Witness and Rehmat pouring down on us as rain… Qubool hai.” 
 

Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with love and prayers for the newlyweds.

Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has a massive following across both sides of the India-Pakistan border.

The singing sensation, fresh off a super successful global tour, including multiple concerts in India, has Pakistani fans salivating with a statement that he might be coming here at some point in the future. 

During a live Q & A session on Instagram, Dosanjh was asked by a Pakistani fan if he has any plans of visiting the country. “Haan jee, Pakistan bhee aa jaan gay (Yes, I will come to Pakistan too),” Diljit replied. 

He did add that right now he hasn’t made arrangements of the sort. 

Dosanjh is one of the most popular stars of the subcontinent.

In October 2024, during his Duluminati Tour, actress Hania Amir and her friends attended his concert at 02 Arena in London.

He invited the Pakistani superstar on stage. Various videos of that moment have since gone viral on social media.

Diljit expressed his admiration for Hania Aamir, calling her a superstar.

He affectionately insisted when Hania initially refused to come up on stage, saying in Punjabi, “When a superstar is among us, and she’s just standing in the audience, it cannot happen that she doesn’t come on stage.”

After much encouragement and loud cheers from the singer and the audience, Hania Aamir finally came on stage, where Diljit performed a few lines of his famous song ‘Lover’ for her.

From Hania’s facial expressions, it was clear that this was a fan moment for her, and she was at a loss for words to express her feelings.

She sincerely thanked the Indian singer for the gesture.

She posted the pictures of her concert and thanked Dosanjh on her Instagram post with the caption, “hona ni mai recover. what a night. It was magic.The love, the respect, the soul. Impeccable.It was all heart.

@diljitdosanjh sir ek he dil hai kitni dafa jeeto ge. Pyar aur sirf pyar ”

“The entire team is just  An honour to have come across so many beautiful souls. Truly memorable. Thank you for all your love and warmth ” She wrote.

After joining Dosanjh on stage at his London concert, Hania also received a heartwarming message from his manager Sonali Singh.

Sonali took to her Instagram account to praise Hania Aamir, saying, “@haniaheheofficial you have no idea the impact you had on all of us that day. It’s how you make someone feel that truly lingers forever. You were the ray of sunshine I desperately needed on the day.”

 
Actress and writer Yasra Rizvi has opened up about why many celebrities hesitate to talk about religion in public. 

 
Appearing as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, the Aagan actress shared her thoughts on religious discussions in the entertainment industry.

 
Yasra believes that entertainment industry personalities avoid speaking about religion because they fear criticism. 

 “People often taunt us, saying, ‘Now actors will teach Islam?’” she said.    

Yasra Rizvi urged celebrities to come forward and share the true teachings of Islam.   

 “If we, as Muslims, don’t spread the right knowledge, then who will,” she questioned. Yasra  warned that if people continue to shy away, misconceptions will grow, and society will suffer.  

 
The Wo Dobara actress emphasized the importance of properly teaching Islam to the younger generation.  
 
 
“Most parents treat Islam like a school subject, limiting it to Quran reading and religious studies,” Yasra Rizvi explained.

Indian comedian and creator of India Got Latent, Samay Raina, has deleted all videos of his show from YouTube following a heated controversy.

The controversy began when Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, commented  on “parents and sex” during  Samay Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent. 

 On Instagram, Samay Raina expressed his distress saying, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all Indias Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time.”

He assured authorities of full cooperation.

“I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank You ,” Samay Raina added.

Ranveer Allahbadia also posted a video on Instagram, addressing the controversy and apologizing. 

He said, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate; it wasn’t even funny. Comedy isn’t my forte, I just want to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I want to use my platform, and no, it’s not. I won’t use it this way. I’m not here to justify or explain, just to apologize. I made a mistake in judgment, and it wasn’t cool on my part.”

Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, faced backlash for making an inappropriate remark on Samay Raina’s show India Got Latent. He asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”

His question sparked outrage on social media, with many criticizing him for being insensitive and crossing a line.

Star Pakistani actor Meera was a decade ago banned from entering the United Kingdom (UK) over confusion during an immigration interview in English, Geo News reported Wednesday.

According to the report, Syeda Irtiza Rubab, known by her stage name Meera, was refused entry by the UK and subjected to “restriction of movements” for 10 years, which her family blames on “confusion out of an English language interview” during which both the actor and interviewing officer could not understand each other.

The report quoted Meera’s mother Shafqat Zahra Bukhari as making a heartfelt appeal to the UK High Commission in Pakistan to grant her daughter a visa so she could travel to the UK to meet her family and work commitments.

The actor’s suffering, however, did not end after the 10-year ban, reports said, as Meera was also refused a visit visa later when her travel agent entered false information into the application.

While Meera’s younger sister lives in Germany, the youngest sister is a qualified solicitor in London and her mother also lives mostly in the UK at the house the family bought with Meera’s money several years ago, the ban has kept the actor from entering the country.

“[Now] the entry ban is finished. Meera should be allowed to enter the UK. There are several film projects she plans to do in the UK. These projects are on hold because Meera has a central role and these can only be completed when Meera is in the UK,” Meera’s mother told Geo News’ Murtaza Ali Shah.

To a question about reason behind the ban, Meera’s mother said that her daughter couldn’t understand the language when asked questions in English. “The immigration officer at the Heathrow airport asked her about ‘transit’ but Meera kept mentioning ‘transaction’ in response.”

“She had to travel somewhere else. She asked for a transaction. I believe that both sides misunderstood each other. Meera didn’t give my full name to the immigration officer as well when asked about the mother’s full name. They kept asking the same question and Meera couldn’t grasp it.”

Zahra went on to say that Meera’s English wasn’t that good 10 years ago, but since then, she has been in the US for 10 years, and she speaks fluently now.

“Several investors and businessmen here want to invest in Meera’s films and have been approaching her,” she said, adding that Meera should be given a visa by the UK government so she could continue her film and drama work.

Meera, the report added, had confirmed hiring a new lawyer who was working on her new application for a visit to the UK.
