    Log 100 affairs maaf kar detay hain, aik shadi ko nahi bhultay: Nadia Khan on second marriage

    Nadia Khan was invited as a guest in ‘Meri Maa’ hosted by Said Hasan. During the interview, she revealed how she remained steadfast for 10 years against all odds to keep her relation intact with her first husband, disclosing that her initial marriage was based on love. The proposal surfaced as soon as they met for the second time.


    “If I tell you the definition of love marriage according to the 90s, you would laugh. My second meeting with him was at our engagement event. I liked him, but there was no dating of any sort,” she said.

    Nadia professed that she knew within the first 10 minutes that marriage was a wrong decision. “But I came from a very conservative and strict family, and I had it in my mind that I had to make it work somehow. I was in that relationship for 10 years and did all I could to make it work somehow.”

    In an interview with VOA Urdu, he said, “I rejected the role of ‘Juni in Jaan Se Pyara’ several times. I like playing complex characters like the ones in ‘Besharam’ and ‘Ishq Zah e Naseeb’ because there’s a lot to discover. Roles like Juni are difficult because they’re very realistic, without any added drama. Even though I said no many times, director Meer Sikandar persuaded me to take on the challenge.”


    In ‘Jaan Se Puara Juni’ Zahid plays a very straightforward and simple role.The drama cast includes The Hira Mani, Mamya Shajaffar, Faiq Khan Faiza Hassan and Omer Shehzad.

  • Karachi’s fashion industry made me cry: Ali Xeeshan makes startling revelations

    Karachi’s fashion industry made me cry: Ali Xeeshan makes startling revelations

    Ali Xeeshan rose to great heights as a young designer, hailing from Lahore, and known for his retro-cool designs.
    Recently, he was invited as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast. Xeeshan talked candidly about the ‘mistreatment’ he faced in the fashion industry. He also discussed the comments made against his mother by a prominent editor. Xeeshan responded forcefully to influential members of the fashion business who, he believes, are a group of selected elite.

    Talking specifically the Karachi fashion industry’s attitude, Xeeshan said, “After I was given a platform in Lahore, I became an instant star there. But the Karachi fashion industry didn’t like it because people started recognizing me as a fashion designer. So, I decided to go to Karachi. As a young fashion graduate, I felt intimidated by all the big names in the industry. While I was sitting with them, Raheel Rao from Diva magazine showed me his article about my fashion show in Lahore. He said, ‘Look, I reviewed your work. Read my article about you.’ He criticized my work harshly, calling it ‘trash’ and ‘worthless.’ His words hurt me deeply. The Karachi fashion industry made me cry. I went to my car and cried as if I had lost something dear to me. I am a fashion graduate, and he had no right to critique my work without a degree. He had no authority to question my talent.”

    Talking about Raheal’s remarks regarding his mother, Ali said, “He kept teasing me while I was organizing a fashion show in Lahore. My mother was away on Umrah, so I had kept a chair empty for her. During the fashion show, he called it a circus in town and even posted on Facebook about me, saying, Holy Cow, What The __ is Ali Zeeshan is wearing! You don’t have the right to criticise my fashion or work. Later, at the after-party, he tapped my shoulder and asked, “Which mother gave birth to this guy? I couldn’t hold back my anger and ended up slapping him. I’m sorry I lost my temper. I want to urge everyone to stop bullying others and just accept them as they are.”
    In response to Xeeshan’s accusations, The Current reached out to Raheal Rao for comment. However, Rao declined to comment on the matter.

    ‘Still looked better than the people sitting at home typing nonsense’; Alizeh Shah hits back at haters

    Alizeh Shah is not holding back her anger at being targeted by trolls. Faced with the usual pointless criticism that Pakistani netizens specialise in, she hit back at the haters who were not happy with her outfit.

    Recently, she attended an ‘Hum Style Awards’ event where her outfit sparked discussions online. At the fashion and style awards, the actor from ‘Mera Dil Mera Dushman’ made a bold fashion statement.


    She wore a black, strapless midi dress with faux fur. Many people online said the dress reminded them of Kylie Jenner’s lion-head dress from the Schiaparelli show last year. However, the actor’s choice received a lot of criticism from social media users. Some even said it seemed like she was copying Indian influencer and former ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant, Urfi Javed.


    After pictures from the event surfaced, one person on social media said, “She just got inspired by Urfi,” while another wrote, “I’m going to have nightmares now.” Another person even said that Shah lost her ‘attractiveness.’ But, Alizeh Shah didn’t let the negativity get to her.


    She posted a message on her Instagram stories in response to the criticism. “Still looked better than people sitting at home typing nonsense,” she wrote.

    Britain’s King Charles recently revealed that as a side effect of his cancer treatment, he lost his sense of taste. Despite the setback, the monarch appeared healthy and cheerful as he joined his son, Prince William, in a significant public event.

    During a ceremony on Monday, King Charles bestowed an important military role upon Prince William, marking a rare occasion where both father and son were present together. The event signified the King’s return to public duties following his battle with cancer.

    Amidst laughter, Charles conferred upon William the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a position the monarch held for 32 years as Prince of Wales. The ceremony occured in front of an Apache helicopter, with soldiers witnessing the event at the Army Flying Museum in southern England. William later flew the aircraft.

    Speaking proudly of his son’s past achievements, Charles commended the heir apparent’s skills as a pilot, highlighting his previous service in flying helicopters for Britain’s Royal Air Force, particularly in search and rescue missions.

    The engagement marked Charles’ first official task since resuming work at the end of April, following a three-month hiatus for cancer treatment. Similarly, William, aged 41, took a break from his official duties in March and April to support his wife during her chemotherapy treatment to prevent cancer. William shared on Friday that his wife is “doing well.”

    Expressing both sadness and optimism during the handover ceremony, Charles bid farewell to his role with the Army Air Corps, expressing confidence in the Corps’ future under his son’s leadership. He was grateful to all involved and proud of his longstanding association with the Corps.
