39 years after its release, Tanhaiyan remains one of Pakistan’s most beloved drama serials. At the time it aired, the drama was a monster hit, both here and across the border.

 Did you know Bollywood’s showman Raj Kapoor once sent a special message to veteran actor Behroze Sabzwari after watching Tanhaiyan? The story will leave you amazed. 

Appearing as a guest on After Hours with Ushna Shah, Behroze Sabzwari shared an incredible story about receiving praise from Bollywood legend Raj Kapoor after his performance in the iconic drama Tanhaiyan.

The host Ushna Shah mentioned, “You have worked with such big stars, and you even worked in Tanhaiyaan. It’s said that after Tanhaiyaan, you received a call from Raj Kapoor. Is that true?”

Behroze replied, “Yes, it’s a huge honor for me. Actually, I didn’t get a call directly, but I received a message through Haseena Apa.  Marina Khan and Shehnaz Sheikh were also part of it because this happened in 1986. At that time, I was shooting in China. It was a Pak-China co-production called Rishte Aur Raaste for PTV. Since I was in China, I couldn’t attend cricket matches in Sharjah that year, which we artists used to attend annually.”

“Raj Kapoor met Haseena Apa and the other cast members, he was very happy after seeing Tanhaiyaan and was starting a new film at that time, in which he eventually cast Zeba Bakhtiar. I received a message saying, ‘When Kabacha (the guest) visits Bombay, he will be my guest,’” the Zindagi Gulzar actor added.

But the story didn’t end there. Several years later, Behroze finally got confirmation that the message was real.

 “In1992 we had gone to Sharjah again, as we did every year. This time, I met Randhir Kapoor in an elevator. Randhir Kapoor said, ‘Kabacha Sahab, would you like to have coffee with us?’ I replied, ‘It would be an honor!’ He then said, ‘You have no idea how much my father loved you in Tanhaiyaan.’ At that moment, I realized that the message I had received back then was indeed true.”

The Yunhi actor shared some special memories of working with the late Qavi Khan, describing him as a truly unique person.

The host asked, “Can you share a memorable moment with Qavi Sahab?”

Behroze replied, “I did a lot of theater and television with Qavi Sahab. Believe me, there is no one like him. As a producer, he made 12 films, out of which only two were successful, and 10 remained unreleased. His last film left him financially broke. At that time, he couldn’t even pay the artists who worked with him. But, after 15 years, when he finally received financial stability by the grace of Allah, he made sure to repay all the artists he owed money to. This is the greatness of Qavi Khan.”

 Describing his relationship with Qavi, Sabzwari added, “I felt very close to him. Despite being older than me in age and experience, he treated me like a friend. He never acted superior, even though he had every right to, given his stature.”

YouTuber and content creator Rajab Butt has gained fame over the past few years with his family vlogs and prank videos. Known for his collaborations with big creators and a few  controversies, Rajab became the top Pakistani YouTube creator last year. Now, he’s starting a new chapter in his life with his soon-to-be wife, Eman.

Rajab Butt and Eman are getting married, and their first dholki night was a joyous occasion. The couple celebrated with their families and friends, performing traditional haldi rituals. They both wore beautiful traditional outfits. 

A special highlight of the evening was Eman’s brother playing the guitar and singing a song for her. Towards the end of the night, Eman also delighted everyone by singing a lovely song.

Here are some delightful moments from Rajab Butt and Eman’s first dholki event:

In a city where dreams are made, singer and music producer Bilal Saeed says he found his own path to success, overcoming fears and embracing new opportunities. 

Appearing as a guest on ‘Hasna Mana Hai’, Bilal shared his experience of working in India.

“When you went to India and collaborated with Neha Kakkar and many other Indian singers… what was the experience like?” asked a member of the audience.

“It was a lot of fun… I really enjoyed it… the reason is when I was in Mumbai, the ‘big film industry’ thing hit me. I felt like fulfilling dreams there was no big deal… ‘tomorrow, I could become Shah Rukh Khan’… there are so many opportunities there,” Bilal replied.

He also talked about how hardworking Indian artists are.

“What I really liked was that they are very hardworking. They respect work a lot and take it very seriously. And when working, you don’t think about who you are… when you’re on set, you’re just working. There’s no star status. No one cares about anything else. I really liked that. I feel that kind of openness should exist in our industry,” Bilal added.

When asked by Tabish Hashmi how a Hafiz [someone who has memorised the Quran] became a singer, Bilal shared how he felt about it and who supported him.

“In the beginning, I wouldn’t even go to Sialkot… I’m from Sialkot and I was so scared of my teacher that if I saw him anywhere, I would turn around and take another route. I was afraid that he might judge me for starting singing.”

“However, I think credit goes to my father. He said he was going to let me do this so that someday I don’t say to him that he never let me do anything,” Bilal added.

Earlier, ‘Superstar,’ the much-awaited album by singer Bilal Saeed is out, and the buzz on the latest release from the song is already going high as ‘Misunderstood’ which is now up on YouTube on One Two Records. And with that message, it carries into being an empowering anthem as it calls for the listener to accept their weaknesses and stand above those battles.

On Instagram he wrote, “This goes out to all those who bear their struggles in silence, a gentle reminder that vulnerability is a mark of courage, not weakness. It’s okay to stumble, to feel the weight of the world, and to shed tears in the darkness. But remember, it’s also okay to rise once more.”

The music video for “Misunderstood” is directed by Abdullah Haris, with music by Alex Shahbaz and mixing by Bloodline Music. It beautifully captures the essence of the song’s theme, creating a visual experience that resonates with its emotional depth.

Rumors are rife that renowned Indian musician AR Rahman is taking a break from work after his divorce from wife Saira Banu, after 29 years of marriage. However, his children have strongly denied the rumors.

AR Rahman and his wife Saira Banu announced their divorce last month. Following the announcement, news started circulating that AR Rahman will take a break from music for a year. 

However, his daughter Khadija Rahman and son Amin have strongly denied the rumors.
A post was shared on social media platform X, which said that AR Rahman is going to take a break from music, to which daughter Khadija replied: “Please stop spreading such useless rumors.”

AR Rahman’s son Amin shared a screenshot of the news on his Instagram story, writing, “This is fake news. This is wrong.”

Earlier, his son, Amin, has expressed disappointment over the circulating rumours regarding his father.

Following the announcement of his divorce, AR Rahman, his former wife Saira Banu, and their children requested privacy, but the appeal fell on deaf ears.

After 29 years of marriage, A.R. Rahman and Saira Banu announced their separation on Tuesday evening, asking the public to respect their private lives. Despite this, rumours have been circulating, with some linking Rahman’s divorce to Mohini Dey’s recent split. Rahman’s son has dismissed these speculations as baseless and disheartening.

On social media, Amin shared a picture of a child and his father, captioning it, “What’s the difference between these two? Just their age.”

In his post, Amin further wrote, “My father is a legend, not just because of his work but because of the values, respect, and love he has earned over the years.”

Amin expressed frustration over the spread of false and unfounded rumours, urging people not to circulate incorrect information regarding his parents’ marriage.

He clarified in an Instagram post that there is no connection between A.R. Rahman’s divorce and Mohini Dey’s separation.

Earlier, Rahman’s daughter Raheema also took to social media, writing, “Always remember, rumors are spread by haters and fools, and only fools believe them. Live life honestly.”

In an exciting update, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has confirmed that he will share the screen with Bollywood legends Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, as all three are “in agreement” to work on a film together.

Aamir Khan revealed during his recent appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah that both Shah Rukh and Salman agreed with him on a potential film when they last discussed it six months ago. He shared that the superstars are now waiting for the “right script.”

Recalling their discussion, Aamir said, “About six months back, Shah Rukh, Salman, and I were together, and we spoke about this. I was the person who brought this up. I told Shah Rukh and Salman that it would be sad if the three of us don’t do a film together.”

“Salman and Shah Rukh were equally in agreement, and they said, ‘We must do a film together, the three of us…’ So hopefully it will happen soon,” Aamir continued.

“But it will need the right kind of story, so we will have to wait for the right script, but all three of us are looking forward to it,” he added.

The three Khans of Bollywood surprised their millions of fans in March by coming together in one frame to perform at the pre-wedding bash of Anant Ambani, son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, with Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar.

During an Instagram live session later, the ‘3 Idiots’ star talked about the possibility of them starring in a film together.

“It’s been quite a while now. We should do it. This is the right time,” Aamir Khan said.
