    No beard, no show: Zuhab Khan says he needed a beard transplant to get work

    Zuhab Khan, who started acting as a child star, has grown up on Pakistani TV screens while working on numerous projects. Recently, he underwent a beard transplant, which caused a stir on social media.

    In a conversation on Ayaz Samoo’s show, he shared, “I opted for the transplant because I’m at an age where I’m not offered child roles anymore and not yet considered for leading adult roles. Taking a year-long break for the beard was necessary for my career progression. I aim to have a beard for future projects when I’m offered hero roles.”

    Zuhab also opened up about facing rejections in dramas due to his appearance. He revealed that he had to face issues due to his lack of facial hair. “Being turned down for four projects because I lacked the required ‘hero-like’ beard. This was disappointing, especially as I was close to signing one of the projects. These experiences led me to make decisions about my future,” he said.

    Listen to your body, trust your instincts: ZaraNoor Abbas has advice for new moms

    Zara Noor Abbas just had a baby girl named Noor-e-Jahan with her husband Asad Siddiqui. Usually, people talk a lot about the happiness of having a new baby, but Zara wanted to talk about something else too. She went on Instagram to discuss the postpartum period.

    Zara posted pictures with her daughter and photos of cute things like white booties, a pink cake, and toys. There was even a poster saying ‘Welcome home, baby Noor-e-Jahan and Mommy.’ Zara also said thank you to everyone who has been supporting her, like her fans, friends, and family. She talked about how becoming a mom changed her life, making her feel like she had everything she needed.


    “First and foremost- Thank you to all my friends and family and my amazing fans for all the pyaar and duayein (love and prayers). I read all your comments and messages,” Abbas penned in the caption. “It’s just Insane. The journey from nothingness to everything. This rush of joy and power. The feeling that I can conquer anything now. The nourishment of empowerment and love.”

    She continued, “The tears, the all-nighters, the difficulties in understanding what the baby wants. Which cry will signal me of a particular task/action. How to position the head – how to lengthen the body, how to massage the fragile bones that you can hear sounds of.”


    Zara openly talked about the challenges of understanding her newborn’s needs, learning how to take care of a baby, and the confusing feelings that come with the time after giving birth. She stressed how important it is for new moms to accept help, take care of themselves, and be proud of what they’ve achieved without feeling like they have to be perfect.
    She added, “The questions that will only be answered by spending alone time with the baby. The pressure to know it all in these 40 days. It’s superior! It’s a lot! And I feel like we don’t talk much about the journey after the birth. Postpartum. It’s real. It’s as real as pregnancy.”


    Zara highlighted the strength that comes with being a mom, encouraging other new moms to recognize their own strength and ask for help when they need it. She wanted to make it normal to talk about the challenges after giving birth, hoping to reassure other moms that they’re not alone in their journey.


    The Jhoom actor had a message for new moms: take control of your post-baby journey. “To all the new moms, don’t feel like you have to be a superhero. You already became one by giving birth with God’s help. Now, take a break. Let others help you. Rest. Eat. Sleep. Nap. You can tell people to leave you alone. Don’t follow advice you don’t like. Swaddle the baby how you want. Feed the baby however you want. Do what feels right for you,” she commented.


    Abbas ended with an important reminder: “Listen to your body and your motherly instincts.” She emphasized the need to be patient, saying, ‘It will take time to recover, but you’ll be okay, I promise. You know why? Because you’re a mom. And moms, wow, we know how strong they are, don’t we?’”

    ‘Not feeling my best’: Hania Amir reveals struggle with mental health

    Even though her friend and actor Yashma Gill praised her for being a strong support during her hospital recovery, actor Hania Aamir showed once more that behind her smiling photos online, there’s often a hidden struggle.

    On her Instagram, the young ‘Dil Ruba’ actor shared a heartfelt post, revealing her personal mental health challenges. She admitted to not feeling well for some time now. Using her social media reach, she aimed to break the silence around mental health in Pakistani society. Hania reassured her fans that there was “no shame” in seeking professional help.

    The star wished to be honest with her friends and fans, writing, “Yes, this could’ve been dealt with privately but I genuinely feel like we have grown up together on this platform. From my dubsmash to films to dramas (reel and real) to random videos and updates on my life, I’ve tried to be as real as I could be with all of you.”

    Hania stated, “I owed it to myself to look within and do everything in my power to recharge my batteries toward a full recovery.” She emphasized the importance of not battling mental health challenges alone, saying, “No one is equipped to undertake such a journey solo.”

    “I’m doing everything I can to get back to health, but I just wanted to come here and tell you that it is alright to have dark days,” wrote Hania. “It does get better. I know sometimes it feels like there’s only darkness at the end of the tunnel. I get it. You just need to tell yourself that you deserve happiness and you need to take charge, ask for help from the people around you, and seek a professional.”

    Without specifying the cause of her mental health challenges, Hania recognized that many others, like her, have faced similar struggles. Rejecting the typical cultural expectation of hiding emotions during tough times, Hania encouraged her followers to be honest about their feelings and not exhaust themselves by pretending everything was fine. “I don’t want to put up a facade of being okay,” she wrote. “And neither should you. It’s too exhausting.”

    Hania continued by emphasizing that both mental and physical health are equally important. “Remember, mental health matters just as much as physical health, and talking about it shows strength, not weakness,” she wrote. “Please ask for help when you need it. You’re not in this alone.”
    Wrapping up her post with a call to raise more awareness about mental health, Hania concluded, “And if there’s any advice for me or anyone going through depression, please share in the comments. Even the smallest beam of hope and warmth can help.”
    With over 400,000 likes in three days, Hania’s post resonated with her large following, prompting an outpouring of advice and support in the comments section. Hania’s friend and fellow actress Yashma commented, “You are my life, okay? I love you to the moon and back and always there for you,” while another user wrote, “So relatable.”
