    Saheefa Jabbar Khattak criticizes society’s obsession with ‘nonsense’ family vlogs

    We live in a world where the internet offers limitless knowledge, yet it seems we have collectively decided that watching someone burn toast in their kitchen is the peak of entertainment—at least according to actress Saheefa Jabbar Khattak.

    Saheefa Jabbar Khattak believes that people in our society are not using the internet and social media wisely. Instead of consuming informative and educational content, she stated, “they waste time on ‘nonsense’ like family vlogs.”


    In a recent podcast interview, Saheefa criticized our society’s media habits, noting that the popularity of family vlogs is leading the younger generation to follow this career path.


    “Our society mainly watches family vlogs, which provide no knowledge,” she said.

     “People prefer this content, so family vloggers get millions of views and earn a lot of money—more than my father or husband, despite their education.”


    Speaking about her own Instagram, she said, “If I start posting about my family and home, my views will increase. If I show what I’m cooking, my kitchen mistakes, or pranks with my husband, my posts will get more views.”


    She concluded, “Unfortunately, this is what our society wants to watch, and that’s why these vloggers are so popular.”

    Actress Nargis reconciles with husband after saying he beat her up

    Life always has unexpected twists, and sometimes they come with a surprising dose of forgiveness.

    Actress Nargis and her husband, Inspector Majid Bashir, have reconciled in the Lahore Sessions Court following allegations of assault. 


    Nargis had previously filed a case against her husband in the Defence C area of Lahore, accusing him of assaulting her during a dispute over money. In the police complaint, she stated: “Majid tortured me during a financial dispute.”


    However, the couple has now resolved their differences. A reconciliation agreement has been submitted to the court by mutual consent by both parties, after which the actress’s husband has withdrawn his application for interim bail from the court.

  • This is what Bushra Ansari thinks of actor son-in-law

    This is what Bushra Ansari thinks of actor son-in-law

    Veteran actress Bushra Ansari, known for her decades-long career in the Pakistani entertainment industry, has shared what she thinks of her son-in-law, actor Asad Siddiqui.

    Appearing as a guest on Subah Saverey Samaa Ke Saath, the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actress shared her thoughts on why her talented son-in-law hadn’t yet been able to secure his place in the country’s entertainment landscape.

    When asked which actor or actress she thought had a lot of potential but had not yet received the right roles and were underrated, Ansari said it was her son-in-law.

    “I think… if I don’t sound biased… it’s Asad Siddiqui… he is my son-in-law… my son. I feel he has potential, his voice is very good, Masha’Allah, his face and smile are good… he is a good actor. I don’t think he has gotten his due place yet,” she said.

    Asad Siddiqui, despite coming from a family of showbiz legends, is a self-made star who has impressed audiences with his diverse performances in both positive and negative roles.

    While Ansari believes that his talent deserves even greater recognition, Siddiqui believes the casting practices in the country are “biased”, and argues that selections are often based on connections and appearance rather than talent.

    In a recent appearance on Ushna Shah’s talk show, Siddiqui spoke openly about his concerns: “I have distanced myself from certain industry gatherings, citing instances of ‘sweet words’ shared in person that turn into criticism behind backs.”

    Siddiqui also highlighted that casting often favors those with lighter skin tones or personal connections, a practice he called “unfair and apparent on screen.” He argued that these dynamics dilute merit and affect the quality of production.
