    Humayun Saeed is back in Gentleman and fans are here for it

    The first episode of the drama ‘Gentleman’ aired on Green Entertainment and it’s already getting rave reviews.
    ‘Gentlemen’ is written by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar and features Humayun Saeed, who is coming back to TV, after five years. His last drama was the iconic ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’.

    In the first episode, fans loved the way it was filmed and how the director captured the environment. Humayun Saeed’s acting as Munna was very well received, with fans saying it was very natural.

    The drama is directed by Haissam Hussain and produced by Samina Humayun Saeed and Sana Shahnawaz. The drama stars include well- known Pakistani actors like Zahid Ahmed, Sohai Ali Abro, Ahmed Ali Butt, Adnan Siddiqui, Khalid Anam, Saqib Sameer, Fahima Awan and Yumna Zaidi.


    The story is about Munna, who is a troublemaker on the streets. He falls in love with Zarnab, a journalist who criticises people like him. Munna wants to win her heart, so he goes against his own gang, which is led by his older brother Rehmati. Their relationship goes through ups and downs, with Zarnab realizing that the real bad guys aren’t people like Munna, but people who use them for their own benefit.

    Here are some comments from fans:

  • Time won’t be on your side but follow your dreams: Samina Ahmed, Manzar Sehbai’s take on love, marriage

    Time won’t be on your side but follow your dreams: Samina Ahmed, Manzar Sehbai’s take on love, marriage

    Actors Samina Ahmed and Manzar Sehbai, who are married to each other, recently came on Aamna Haider Isani’s show in which they openly talked about the importance of love, affection and compatibility in a marriage.
    During the interview they said, “it’s not useful to stress about being compatibility before getting married because you won’t really know until you live together.”

    Expressing their views on love,
    Samina said, “Being in love means feeling completely at ease with someone, without having to pretend.”
    Meanwhile, Manzar Sehbai said, “Love is defined differently for each individual; its definition is impossible to generalize. If you want to do something in life, go ahead and do it head on so you do not have any regrets later in life. Hustle and follow your dreams as time will never be in your favour but you will succeed if you keep pursuing your dreams.”

    Hiba Bukhari has nothing but praise for one actor

    Actress Hiba Bukhari is all praise for one actor that she has worked with.

    She talked about acting alongside Sheheryar Munawar for the first time in ‘Radd’.
    In a behind-the-scenes video from the sets, Bukhari shared her thoughts on working with Munawar for the first time. She said, “I was actually surprised by how positive he is. He brings a lot of positivity.”

    Bukhari added, “Even though he’s been in the movies for a while now, I thought it might take some time to get used to working with him, but he’s really nice, sweet, and cooperative. He’s great at discussing scenes and rehearsing dialogues with me to make our on-screen chemistry work.”
    “Many actors don’t prepare like this, even though it’s a basic requirement in our field. Usually, actors don’t like it,” said the ‘Radd’ actor.
    “But Sheheryar does, and it lets us talk about changes before telling the director,” she finished.

  • Who will play Quaid-e-Azam, Fatima Jinnah in Indian partition series?

    Who will play Quaid-e-Azam, Fatima Jinnah in Indian partition series?

    SonyLIV, an Indian streaming service, is producing a series on the partition of the subcontinent, and the casting choices are a bit surprising. Adapted from the book of the same name, ‘Freedom at Midnight’ is about India’s fight for freedom from British rule. It will also talk about the time when India and Pakistan became separate countries in 1947. The show plans to tell stories that haven’t been heard before and show important events from the tumultuous time.

    The focus is on Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Pakistan’s founder. Actor Arif Zakaria, who played Nehru in the ZEE5 show ‘Hutatma,’ will play Jinnah. “In preparing to portray Mohammed Ali Jinnah, I realized how important it was to depict him as a flawed and complicated human being rather than an untouchable hero,” he said. “I want to explore Jinnah’s character deeply, showing his complexity and the reasons behind his actions. By doing this, I aim to present a more real and complete picture of Jinnah.” Well, in the hands of the extremist right-wing wave in Bollywood, that just sounds like he wants to villainize the founder of Pakistan.

    Ira Dubey, known for her role in the Netflix show ‘Scoop,’ will play Fatima Jinnah, Mohammed Ali Jinnah’s younger sister and close aide. Dubey emphasized how important Fatima Jinnah was in her brother’s life, highlighting their close relationship. After Pakistan was formed, Fatima Jinnah helped start the Pakistan Women’s Association, which was crucial for women who migrated.

    Mohammed Ali Jinnah led the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan was created, and he became its first governor-general until he passed away in 1948. His sister Fatima played a big role by his side during his political journey, helping the new nation grow.
    The series is based on a famous book from 1975 by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre. It aims to show the complexities of the independence movement, giving viewers a rich story filled with history. It promises to be exciting as it explores important historical figures and their stories during India’s fight for freedom.

  • University students walk out on Jerry Seinfeld speech in protest on Palestine

    University students walk out on Jerry Seinfeld speech in protest on Palestine

    Many students of the esteemed Duke University left their graduation ceremony on Sunday, some of them shouting “Free Palestine” when guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, started giving a speech.

    Seinfeld is a known Zionist who has shown support for Israel during the Gaza genocide and according to media reports, sent money to the violent counter-agitators who attacked pro-Palestine student protestors at UCLA. A video on social media shows students in graduation robes and hats leaving the ceremony. Some were holding Palestinian flags. The ceremony was held in the university’s football stadium in North Carolina. Reuters confirmed the date and place of the video.


    One person wore a keffiyeh, a scarf often used to show support for Palestinians. Some others cheered “Jerry! Jerry!” when Seinfeld got an honorary degree. Seinfeld gave his speech without big interruptions.


    Many of you are probably thinking, ‘I can’t believe they asked him to come.’ But it’s too late,” he said, promising to “defend” the idea of privilege. “I believe you should use your privilege. I grew up as a Jewish kid from New York. That’s a privilege if you want to be a comedian,” he added.
    “We know that people feel strongly in our community, and just like we’ve done all year, we support everyone’s right at Duke to share their opinions peacefully. But we also want graduates and their families to enjoy their special day,” said Duke spokesperson Frank Tramble in a statement.

    Seinfeld has been to Israel and openly supported it since October 7, when Israel started the genocide in Gaza. This action led to more than 35,000 deaths including 15,000 children, as reported by health officials.
    The White House mentioned on Tuesday that President Joe Biden is okay with peaceful protests during college graduation ceremonies where he and other officials will speak. The walkout at Duke University’s graduation is the latest example of protests happening on US campuses. Students are asking universities to stop investing in companies that profit from war and to give amnesty to students and staff who have faced consequences for protesting.


    At Emerson College in Boston, there were interruptions during the president’s speech at their graduation ceremony on Sunday. Some students walked across the stage holding signs supporting Palestinians. One woman even unfurled a Palestinian flag.
    Because of these protests, some universities like Columbia in New York and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, have canceled their graduation ceremonies this month. Others have changed the location or format of their ceremonies.

    Celebs express love for moms on Mother’s Day

    As Mother’s Day comes to pass, celebrities are using social media to show love for their moms, including actors, models, and musicians.
    One common theme in their posts is talking about family love. Veteran actress Nadia Jamil wrote a heartfelt letter to her mom along with a montage of pictures, set to a Bollywood song.

    In her post, she talked about how strong and brave her mom is. “Happy Mother’s Day to my rock, where my strength began from, where my life began from,” she joyously expressed. “My friend, confidant, the most generous, forgiving, loving woman I know, one of the most, beyond beautiful women to have lived on this planet.”
    She continued, “I love you Ma. Here’s to healing and learning and unlearning and to the adventure of life still left for us to enjoy together. With Aba, Baba Zain, Nana, Nani, Puchi Khala, all watching us. Please say a prayer for the health and happiness of my best friend… my Ma.”

    Meanwhile, music icon Faisal Kapadia shared a sweet post on Instagram to celebrate Mother’s Day. One picture shows him as a child in his mother’s arms, while another shows his wife Seema with their two sons, Armaan and Gibran. In the caption, Faisal wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day!”

    Singer Zoe Viccaji celebrated Mother’s Day by posting a cute picture with her daughter. They both had matching butterfly-themed face paints and smiled at the camera. Zoe wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there,” in a short note.

    Joining the Mother’s Day celebration trend, Shaniera Akram shared a loving picture representing maternal love through the generations. She posted photos with her husband, former cricketer Waseem Akram, and their three children, two of them from the cricketer’s marriage to his late wife. Shaniera happily wrote, “My children are what makes my life full. I am blessed to have these three.”

    She also said, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmas, new moms, mothers-in-law, and those who we keep in our hearts.” Moms are always there for us, giving hugs when we’re tired or saying comforting words when things get tough. They show endless love and care. So, while Mother’s Day is a special time to say thanks, let’s remember to appreciate and honor moms every day for everything they do for us.

    He also shared his thoughts on why he chooses not to attend award shows saying that, despite his nearly 20-year career, he has only received one award.“Last year, my dramas had record-breaking TRPs, yet I did not get nominated . I don’t attend award shows just to clap. I want to go, but I’m upset with this part of the industry that doesn’t accept me, although I accept them.””I am not part of any lobby,” he said, explaining the possible reason behind his exclusion.

    “Some people in our nation believe they are superior to everyone else and that no one can challenge them,” he said but refrained from taking names.
