    ‘Why don’t you marry him’; Dania Enwer reveals her daughter’s advice

     Dania Enwer said, “I got married for the first time at the age of 19, my first marriage lasted for years, but my husband’s drug addiction made things unbearable. His condition worsened over time, and he started abusing and demeaning me, which forced me to end the relationship.”

    Dania now has no information about his whereabouts.

    “He doesn’t even visit the children. I’ve taught my kids to respect their father and shown them who he is, but he hasn’t made any effort to reach out. Wherever he is, I hope he’s doing well,” she said.

     After her divorce, the Jannat Say Aagay actress initially decided to stay single for a while, however, she met someone who brought joy back into her life.

    “I met a good man and was in a relationship with him for two years, I wanted to take things slow, but during the third year, my daughter asked me, ‘If he is a good man, why don’t you marry him?’”

    Dania Enwer admitted her daughter’ words gave her the courage to remarry.

     “I wasn’t just thinking about myself. I was also concerned about my children’s safety and well-being, which is why I took time before making the decision,” she remembered.

    Now happily married, Daniya expressed gratitude for her supportive mother-in-law. “My mother-in-law praised my decision to end my first marriage and continues to give me great advice. I’m fortunate to have her in my life.”

    She also reflected on her journey, revealing that she remarried three years after her divorce. “I got married for the second time at 37,” Dania Enwer added.

    Dania Enwer is married to Farhan Baig, the son of legendary actor Nadeem Baig.

    The actress also candidly shared her thoughts on unrequited love. “One-sided love is useless. I experienced love twice in my life and both times I went ahead to express my feelings directly.”

    “The first one didn’t work out while in the second one, I realised the true meaning of love,” she said while also hinting at her first marriage.

  • Here’s why Yasir Nawaz doesn’t care about drama reviews

    Here’s why Yasir Nawaz doesn’t care about drama reviews

    Given how big the drama industry is in Pakistan, it is natural that all serials will be closely watched and reviewed. This could lead to clashes between reviewers and crew. Director and actor Yasir Nawaz says croyics don’t bother him.

     Appearing as a guest on Faysal Quraishi’s podcast, the Ghair director shared his thoughts on the growing trends of drama reviews and how he handles social media trolling.

    Yasir Nawaz said, “Nowadays, reviews are a trend. Danish asked me if I get angry when people give negative reviews about my dramas. I said I don’t care; let them review it. Though negative reviews for films can harm them a bit, I’ve often said that film reviews should come after a week or ten days. People invest time and money to watch films, unlike dramas, where anyone can comment freely.”

    Faysal Quraishi asked, “Have you come across any weird comments about yourself on social media?”

    Yasir Nawaz replied, “I don’t take social media trolling too seriously now. Initially, I used to get affected. If a page posted a picture of mine or [his wife] Nida’s and there was trolling, I would even call the page admin and ask them to delete it or block the comments. But now I don’t take it seriously.”

    He went on to narrate an incident when Nida’s Formula 1 outfit was being discussed on social media. “It bothered her for two or three days. I told her to ignore it and respond in a way that shows we don’t care. Let them talk; it doesn’t matter to us.”

    When it comes to superstars in the entertainment industry, the Inspector Sabiha actor shared his preference between Sajal Aly, Hania Aamir and Iqra Aziz.

    “I would rate Sajal Aly the highest. When we worked together on Chup Raho, I was captivated by her expressions during edits. She is an exceptional actress and knows how to deliver lines perfectly. I haven’t worked with Hania and Iqra, but Sajal remains my favorite.”

     Yasir Nawaz has starred in dramas such as Badaltay Mausam, Mohlat, Aik Mohabat Sau Afsanay, Jannat, Dil Diya Dahleez Bikhray Moti, Dil Zaar Zaar, Chaudhry and Sons and Mera Dil Mera Dushman.

    Yasir Nawaz’s calm approach to drama reviews and social media trolling reflects his confidence and focus on his work, making him a resilient figure in the entertainment industry.

    Taking to Instagram to request privacy for her family, The Standup Girl actress said that she had decided to not share pictures of her daughter publicly and people should respect this decision.

    “If I don’t show pictures of my daughter, it means I would like to keep it private. Still, people don’t have the audacity to respect this,” Abbas said, urging people to respect boundaries.

    “It’s a REQUEST again to all of you, please stop posting videos of our daughter. And if you already have please, delete them [sic],” she said.

    ‘It’s a REQUEST’: Zara Noor Abbas urges fans to delete daughter’s videos

    Through her statement, Abbas has made it clear that she values her family’s privacy and expects fans to respect the same.

     The appeal comes after widespread circulation of her daughter’s video from her brother Ahmad Abbas Gill’s wedding, where she was seen being held by family members and surrounded by guests during the celebrations.

    Earlier,  actress Zara Noor Abbas and her husband Asad love spending time with their little girl and often share photos of her, but Zara has chosen not to show Noor E Jahan’s face publicly.

    In a post, Zara wrote, “This is for her sick days, late nights, and early mornings. The moments where only SHE matters. I didn’t know I could feel this way for anyone other than my parents. You teach me resilience, courage, and strength. Thank you for choosing me. I love you, Noor E Jahan. I will do anything for you, InshAllah always and forever.”

    Zara also added that she is not showing her daughter’s face due to concerns about the “evil eye.”

    She mentioned, “Not showing your picture to the world anytime soon because of the evil eye. So please bear with only the Amma in her glory where no Photoshop or body editing is done because I respect and appreciate my body for being so miraculous.”

    Earlier, she gave an interview to Political Insight YouTube channel, where she discussed how accepting parenthood has changed her.

    Zara Noor said, “Becoming a mother has completely eliminated my anger. Now, I value time and get my things done before time. Motherhood has also made me more empathetic towards others, especially fellow mothers, and I’ve become more loving and compassionate.”


    Talking about parenting she said, “Parenting is a learning process, and my goal is to raise my daughter to be a good person and a responsible citizen. Instead of pressuring her to excel academically, I’ll focus on nurturing her kindness and empathy, helping her grow into a caring and understanding individual.”

    “I had been modeling for many years. Then, when producer Sana Shahnawaz saw my modeling and Instagram videos, she contacted me for the drama Sinfe Ahan, my first drama, in which I played the role of a Pakhtun girl. After that drama, I also started acting.”


    “Recently, my drama Faraar is being liked a lot, and I played the role of a Pakhtun girl in that drama too,” she said.


    In response to a question, she expressed her desire to work in action and thriller films. “I wish to be offered work in an action and thriller film.”

    ‘Irresponsible person’; Aliza Sultan takes jab at Feroze Khan

    Parenting is never easy, but single parents often face unique challenges that test their resilience and strength.


    Aliza Sultan, who became an influencer after her marriage ended, has referred to ex-husband Feroz Khan as an irresponsible father. 


    At the start of the new year, Aliza shared a photo on her social media and asked her followers to reflect on their lives by the end of 2024. Many praised her strength, and one user asked about the challenges she faces raising children as a single mother.


    Aliza responded by saying, “Raising two children as a single mother is not an easy task.This task becomes even more difficult when the father you share with is an irresponsible person. Despite all the difficulties, as a mother, you have to do everything. Sometimes you have to be strict with the children, sometimes you have to be gentle with them, sometimes you have to listen to them, and sometimes you have to tell them.”


    Aliza criticized Feroz Khan and his new wife regarding the children’s upbringing. She also praised mothers whose husbands are busy with work, saying, “Those mothers whose husbands are employed are also praiseworthy, as they are not able to give time to the house and children. In such a situation, women who take care of children are no less than heroes.”

    Aliza and Feroz, who is an actor, singer, and YouTuber, got married in 2018 and have two children, Sultan and Fatima. They announced their divorce in 2023. Feroz got married again in mid-2024.

    Known for her unapologetic personality, former supermodel Iffat Omar has opened up about her past relationships, her journey into modeling, and the importance of empowering women in decision-making roles.

    Appearing as a guest on Aik Naya Zaviya podcast, hosted by Haroon Rafique, Iffat Omar revealed that, like many other young women, she too had relationships in her youth.

     Iffat Omar said, “I never denied my affairs or scandals.”

    However, she emphasized that her relationships never turned into scandals because they were with private individuals, not public figures.

    When talking about her entry into modeling, the Mohabbat Aag Si star recalled the pivotal moment that changed her life.

    “When I was in matric, a female journalist took my photos during a program. These photos were published in Jang newspaper, and I received a call from them offering me a modeling opportunity, which I accepted,” Iffat Omar said.

    The Uraan actress also opened up about her marriage, explaining that she met her husband Umar, through a friend and that their relationship grew until she pressured him into marriage.

    “People criticize women by saying that ‘35 divorced feminist women are behind the movement,’ and I’m often counted among them,” she shared.

    With her thoughtful insights, Iffat Omar highlighted the importance of empowering women, stating that true freedom and independence for women would only be achieved when they have a larger presence in decision-making roles, including in parliament. 

     “Women’s freedom and empowerment will only happen when women hold the majority of decision-making roles,” she concluded.
