    Justice for Animals: Ushna Shah to give 100,000 reward for information on puppy murderers

    Renowned actor Ushna Shah voiced her outrage against three animal abusers who callously threw a puppy from a balcony. The video of the three men went viral after Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation, an animal shelter, raised the issue. Shah stated, “They threw puppies down a balcony for pleasure… that’s serial killer behavior. Perhaps a gap in my vocabulary isn’t the worst thing.”


    Following this, she posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “I am putting a 100k bounty on their heads: Help me find them. If any lawyer wants to take up this case pro bono and help keep them behind bars for the maximum amount of time (once they’re found), please get in touch. (Bounty is a rhetorical term. Don’t kill them, duh).”


    She added, “I am personally offering a reward of 100,000 PKR. (50K per monster) to anyone who turns these two in. Once they are behind bars, the reward will be given personally to me in cash. As well as a meet and greet with the winner and their family. Spread the word and find these perpetrators.”


    The puppy killers have been identified as Asad and Talat, and have not yet been arrested by the police.
    Asad is the primary suspect as he was the one recording the video and ordering a third person, Qasim (who has been arrested) to throw the puppy off the balcony.


    Talat Khan was also involved in instructing Qasim to commit the same act.

  • ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ is the latest hit drama starring Humayun Saeed, marking his return to television after four years. In the show, he plays Iqbal Munna, a local from Korangi with an unexpected innocence. Fans can’t help but compare his character to the beloved Munna Bhai from the 2003 Bollywood film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS,’ portrayed by Sanjay Dutt.


    In a recent chat with his co-star Yumna Zaidi, Humayun revealed that his role was like Munna Bhai. He said Khalilur Rehman wrote it that way. Yumna added some mystery, saying, “Maybe,” suggesting surprises in the story.


    The actor also talked about the idea that Ahmad Ali Butt’s character, Dilbar, Munna’s faithful buddy, is like Circuit from Munna Bhai MBBS. He hinted, “Wait for the fifth episode; you’ll get the answer then. You gotta watch it.”


    Yumna assured fans that things would get clearer as the story goes on. She said, “I think it’ll make more sense after the next episode. And as the show goes on, I believe people will stop comparing and noticing these similarities. We’ve already moved past it ourselves.”


    Facing criticism for its portrayal of “gundagardi” in Korangi, Humayun defended the show, saying, “There aren’t real gangsters like we’ve shown in Korangi. It’s all make-believe. We tried to make it as real as possible in this fantasy world. We even thought about setting it in a made-up place, not Korangi. But we went with Korangi, and even then, it’s harmless.”

It’s such a shame. Where are shows like ‘Tanhaiyaan,’ ‘Dhuwan,’ ‘Aangan Terha,’ ‘Waris,’ ‘Angar Wadi,’ and ‘Guest House’?”
