    Superstar Shaan Shahid’s new spy thriller movie, ‘Red, White, and Green,’ will feature his old co-star Humaima Malick, as per an Instagram story shared by the ‘Legend of Maula Jatt’ actress.

    It’s the second time he’s teaming up with Humaima and Mohib after their work together in ‘Arth’ back in 2017.’

    Arth’ was quite different, focusing on love, betrayal, and self-discovery. Shaan played Ali, who gets involved with Humaima’s character, Umaima, while Mohib’s character, Umer, supports Ali’s wife.

    ‘Arth’ wrapped up with a positive vibe, telling a touching story about love, betrayal, and finding redemption. It showed how important it is to respect yourself and grow personally.

    ‘I had a panic attack on live TV after mom’s tribute’: Janhvi Kapoor

    Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor still grapples with the sudden death of her mother, superstar Sridevi in 2018.

    She recently shared a personal experience on the show ‘Mashable India’ hosted by Siddhaarth Aalambayan. She talked about how she suffered a panic attack during a dance show upon watching a tribute for her late mother Sridevi, soon after her death.
    Janhvi Kapoor reflected on the challenging time, describing how she was still dealing with the grief and loss when she had to go to promote her Bollywood debut film.

    Kapoor shared an experience from her time on a dance reality show. Shortly after her mother passed away, contestants honored her memory with songs, and Kapoor had a panic attack.
    Janhvi Kappor said, “I went on a dance show and it was right after the incident.I was promoting Dhadak, and it was all very new. My team was taking care that I don’t get reminded of my mother. I was taken aback when the show surprised me with a tribute to my mother. They played an audio-visual montage of her songs with a heartfelt voiceover, and the children danced in homage. While it was a beautiful gesture, I wasn’t emotionally prepared for it.”

    Janhvi also said, “My breathing had stopped. I burst into tears and started wailing. Running from the stage, I made my way to my van. Had a proper panic attack. People were like, ‘Does she really not give a f*?’ they edited out my emotional response and replaced it with a different tape of me smiling and clapping, but it was a far cry from how I was really feeling in that moment. They chose to show something very different from the truth.”

  • Why did Saife Hassan threaten his parents with committing suicide?

    Why did Saife Hassan threaten his parents with committing suicide?


    Veteran actor, director and writer Saife Hassan was invited as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat’ hosted by Imran Ashraf.
    During the show, Saife Hassan talked about threatening to harm himself if his parents didn’t allow him to marry his girlfriend. But it was just a bluff, and the pair have been married for thirty years now.

    He said, “I was only 18 when I fell deeply in love with a girl my age, and I was determined to marry her. Although my family was supportive, her parents were opposed to our union due to my youth and lack of financial stability. In my desperation, I told my parents that if I couldn’t be with the girl I loved, I would take my own life. It was a reckless statement, but I was willing to do anything to be with her.”

    While we agree with doing everything to convince your parents about marrying the girl of your choice, threatening them with suicide is a route we don’t recommend.

    ‘I refused anti-state roles’; Sajid Hasan on Bollywood offers

    Veteran actor Sajid Hasan was invited as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast ‘Excuse Me’.

    During the recording, Sajid discussed his relationship with Sahira and Rahat Kazmi on the ground-breaking series ‘Dhoop Kinare’, which was a major turning point in his career.

    He also discussed declining parts that would have encouraged an anti-Indian attitude.
    Speaking about the reasons behind his dislike of actors portraying anti-state roles, he said, “I’m disappointed with Tiger 3, which I’m currently watching, as it contains harmful stereotypes and biased content against Pakistan. I strongly dislike this approach and believe it’s unfair to actors. Even when I was new to the industry and faced pressure to play such roles, I’ve always rejected them. I believe our relationships with people from other countries should be respectful and positive, even if we disagree with their views. Moreover, I urge Pakistanis to appreciate the freedom we have, which was fought for by Quaid E Azam, and recognize the value of living without oppression, as I personally experienced suffocation during my time in India.”

    Nabeel Zafar isn’t interested in playing father roles

    Actor, director and producer Nabeel Zafar was invited as a guest on the FHM podcast.
    During the podcast, the actor expressed frustration with the lack of strong and unique scripts in today’s dramas, and stated that he will only consider taking on a character if the script meets his high standards.


    Talking further about not working more in dramas and not portraying the role of an on-screen father, he said, “Nowadays, it has become a trend that when a film is not successful, its script is picked up and turned into a drama. We’ve essentially turned dramas into films, which is fundamentally wrong.”

    “I decline roles because I’m not interested in playing a father figure on screen. I’ve already become a father in real life, and I don’t want to portray a character who gets divorced and then remarries, or one who asks his son if he’s eaten. I can’t relate to such storylines, which is why I turn down drama offers.”
