Famous actor Affan Waheed took a dig at social media users who criticize artists for showing signs of aging or undergoing surgery.
Currently, Affan Waheed is busy promoting his debut film, Mastani.
He appeared on FHM Podcast with Adnan Faisal with co-star Amina Ilyas to promote the film.
Answering a question during the interview, he said, “Everyone has to grow old; not everyone stays forever young. And when someone enhances their beauty, it’s often said that they’re unhappy with their appearance or that they underwent plastic surgery.”
He further added, “I have a sensitive nature. I get upset and go into depression when I see criticism or trolling on social media, so I try not to pay much attention to it. That’s why I often close my comments section.”
He concluded, “If any artist wants to do something within their moral limits, they should not worry about society. Do whatever your heart desires, just keep moral boundaries in mind.”
Amar Khan, the talented actress known for her versatility and bold characters, shared a scary and experience she went through.
Appearing on After Hours with Ushna Shah, Amar was asked, “Do you have any old ghost stories to share?
Amar indeed had one. “We were shooting at a haveli, or mansion, close to Malir Cantt on the outskirts of Karachi. It was a stunning white haveli with a lot of greenery all around it. There, we shot a few scenes for Bela Pur Ki Dayan. I want to give you a complete visual description of the place. I had to shoot a scene on the roof at 2:00 am in the morning. I was walking barefoot on a stormy and dark night. My hair was blowing in the wind as I was hanging from a cable on the roof. Because I was playing a supernatural character, I didn’t rehearse the scene beforehand. I noticed about twenty dogs running towards the haveli from the road outside as soon as we started shooting.”
The strange vibes on set made her uneasy.
“I stopped the scene and told the team I couldn’t continue because I felt like the dogs were seeing something I couldn’t. It was a really weird feeling. I think the place is haunted. There are graves in the lawn, and I used to recite Ayatul Kursi and all four Qul whenever I entered the haveli,” the Dum Mastam actress added.
As a warning to others, Amar said, “Next time you are going to shoot at that spot, you must extra careful.”
After enjoying a critically acclaimed first season, the popular drama series ‘Tere Bin’ is set to make a grand comeback. Producer Abdullah Kadwani has announced that Season 2 will premiere on Friday, December 29, 2023, offering fans a perfect start to the new year.
“Exciting news for ‘Tere Bin’ fans! The highly anticipated Season 2 is launching on December 29, 2023. Get ready for more heartwarming moments; I promise you will love it. InshaAllah, it’s going to be fantastic,” he said.

Meerab is a fearless, ambitious woman aspiring to be a lawyer, while Murtasim comes from a conservative, land-owning family. Their captivating love story and strong on-screen chemistry resonated with audiences worldwide.
In July, Kadwani hinted at the sequel by sharing a group photo with Yumna and Wahaj, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support.
“The phenomenal journey of ‘Tere Bin’ has achieved unprecedented milestones in Pakistani entertainment history. We thank Almighty Allah and our global audience for their immense love and support. Hats off to Wahaj Ali and Yumna Zaidi for their outstanding performances, and to director Siraj ul Haq and writer Nooran Makhdoom for their exceptional storytelling. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on Season 2.”
The first season of ‘Tere Bin,’ produced by 7th Sky Entertainment and aired on Geo TV, garnered over three billion views on YouTube and enjoyed immense popularity not only in Pakistan but also in India and other countries. The show’s success is attributed to its engaging storyline and compelling performances by the entire cast, including veteran actress Bushra Ansari.
Despite busy schedules, with Wahaj Ali working on a new drama with Maya Ali and Yumna Zaidi starring in ‘Gentleman’ on Green Entertainment and an upcoming Hum TV project with Usama Khan, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of ‘Tere Bin.’ The official announcement has alleviated concerns about potential delays or cancellation.

Children of polygamous marriages usually suffer from mental trauma as both sets of parents tend to fight but Pakistani actress Yashma Gill is an exception.
She shared information about her father’s two marriages and her relationship with both her mothers in an interview.
Recently, she appeared as a guest on ‘Zabardast show,’ where she openly discussed her career as well as her personal life.
Answering a question during the interview, she revealed, “My father had two marriages. His first wife passed away two years ago. His mother-in-law, unfortunately, also passed away before I was born.”
According to Yashma Gill, before the death of her stepmother, the two mothers had a very good and deep relationship.”She revealed, ‘I have a large family, especially when everyone, including my siblings and step-siblings, gets together. We all share a close bond, and in the last years of my stepmother’s life, the two moms also developed a good relationship.
She said, “I have a good relationship with my step-siblings. They are all married and live in their own homes, while my mother lives with me in Lahore.”
Disney/Marvel superhero comedy “Deadpool & Wolverine” clawed its way back to the top of the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $18.3 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
The Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman vehicle has now topped the box office for four of its five weekends out, logging impressive total ticket sales of $577.2 million domestically and $634 million internationally.
Last weekend’s leader, sci-fi horror film “Alien: Romulus” from 20th Century Studios, slipped to second, earning $16.2 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period.
The tale of a terrifying encounter between space colonists and a face-eating alien is directed by Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez. Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux and Spike Fearn star.
Sony’s “It Ends With Us,” a romantic drama based on a popular Colleen Hoover novel, had $11.9 million in ticket sales. Blake Lively stars and co-produced the film, which has performed unexpectedly well for the genre, taking in a global total so far of $242 million.
“It’s among the highlights of the summer,” said analyst David A. Gross, adding that “it’s another sign of the industry’s improving health.”
New psychological thriller “Blink Twice,” from MGM Studios, placed fourth, at $7.3 million. The story of a cocktail waitress (Naomi Ackie) who visits the mysterious island of a tech billionaire (Channing Tatum) was directed by actress Zoe Kravitz (daughter of singer Lenny Kravitz and actor Lisa Bonnet) in her directorial debut.
Given the glutted field of crime thrillers, Gross said, how well such films perform is “almost always cast-driven.” In this case the cast, along with Ackie and Tatum, includes Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment and Geena Davis.
And in fifth was Sony’s new biblical drama “The Forge,” at $6.6 million, not a bad opening for a movie that cost $5 million to make. A spinoff from 2015’s inspirational drama “War Room,” it tells the story of a floundering, directionless 19-year-old who finds motivation to get himself together.
Famous actor Yasir Hussain responded to the news of the ban on wearing jeans for girls at Government College University Lahore (GCU) with a poetic line, quoting Ali Zaryoun: “Kis ny jeans kari mamnu, pehno achi lagti ho!”
His comment subtly points at the importance of personal choice in attire.
GCU Lahore recently introduced a new dress code prohibiting female students from wearing jeans and T-shirts on campus. Male students are required to wear dress shirts and pants, while all intermediate students must adhere to a uniform policy.
The university administration has stated that students who do not follow the dress code will face fines. While this move is intended to balance cultural and religious values with a professional academic environment, some students have opposed the regulations, arguing that such bans are unusual in universities.
Actor and model Bilal Qureshi took to social media to express his concern about former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s health after a troubling dream.
Qureshi posted a story on Instagram with the caption: “I saw IMRAN KHAN in my dream and He is not in good condition ☹️ May ALLAH always bless him with good health.”
A few months ago, Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, also voiced her concerns on X (formerly Twitter) regarding her brother’s safety while he is incarcerated in Adiala Jail.
She wrote: “Imran Khan informed us in jail: “I am concerned that they have suddenly changed my security guards at midnight.” When asked, he was told they that they had gone on leave for 2 months.”
Actor and model Babrik Shah is known for being outspoken and true to form, he had another opinion that may ruffle a few feathers.
During an appearance on Desi Book, Babrik Shah shared his thoughts on the blockbuster film ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt.’
Host Junaid Saleem asked, “I was reading your statement in an interview, where you said about Maula Jatt that Hamza Ali Abbasi and Fawad Khan are like a ‘burger family’ and that Maula Jatt and Noori Natt are not like that.”
Shah replied, “They are a burger family, now, just imagine a guy from a burger family trying to speak Punjabi. Where will he even get that deep, commanding voice like Noori Natt? And then there’s Sultan Rahi, he had that manly vibe, that power in his delivery, which is just not there anymore. It doesn’t have that same feeling. And the way they’re speaking Punjabi nowadays, it’s like they’ve just learned it or someone taught them how to speak it. That’s why I said it had a very ‘mummy daddy’ style, lacking that true masculine essence.”
Talking about the remake the outspoken model said,“Maula Jatt was a masterpiece of its time, a true classic that stood the test of time. It should never have been remade.”
