    ‘Not haram’: Hira Somroo on rumors of Fahad Mustafa’s alleged second marriage

    Pakistani actress Hira Somroo has put in her two cents on the rumors of superstar Fahad Mustafa’s alleged second marriage, saying that if he has tied the knot again, it is a commendable step as he has done it the right way and not committed a sin. 

    Speaking during her recent appearance on the FHM podcast, Hira discussed inappropriate behavior within the entertainment industry and also addressed the speculation surrounding Fahad Mustafa’s personal life.

    For several weeks, rumors have circulated that the Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad star secretly got married for the second time, though Fahad Mustafa has yet to comment publicly on the matter. However, sources privy to the matter have told The Current that the allegations are not true.

    When asked about the rumors, Hira defended the actor, saying, “Fahad Mustafa is a very decent man. I’ve never heard a single inappropriate thing about him.”

    She further added, “If he has gotten married again, then that’s a very good thing. He got married directly. He didn’t do anything haram. His first wife is also a very understanding woman, I’m sure she’ll understand.”

    The actress expressed confidence that if the rumors are true, the situation would be handled maturely. “I don’t think there would be any fights or drama. I think everyone will live happily,” she said.

    During the podcast, Hira also shed light on her own experiences in the entertainment industry, revealing how some colleagues have behaved inappropriately.

    “Many people in the industry have tried to start inappropriate conversations with me,” she revealed, though she declined to name individuals. “It usually starts with a compliment, and then by midnight, they start asking for pictures.”

    She added that she has often received offers to go out, but has always rejected them firmly. “I just give them a shut-up call and move on,” she said.

    Concluding her remarks, Hira stated bluntly: “If anyone from this industry claims they’ve never experienced such behavior, they’re lying.”

  • Tara Sutaria or Sajal Aly? Who wore Shehla Chatoor’s glamorous black dress better…

    Tara Sutaria or Sajal Aly? Who wore Shehla Chatoor’s glamorous black dress better…

    In an unexpected style showdown, Pakistani superstar Sajal Aly and Bollywood actress Tara Sutaria were spotted wearing the same glittering black ensemble by designer Shehla Chatoor, but fans have made it clear who wore it better.

    Sajal Aly debuted the heavily embellished black dress at the 10th Hum Awards, where she also bagged the Best Actor – Female award for her poignant role in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, a drama that tackled themes of female empowerment and societal resistance.

    Despite the major win and the star power she brought to the red carpet coming out of a Ferrari, Sajal’s look fell surprisingly flat for fans.

    Styled with silver crystal earrings and a sleek tied hairstyle, many felt the actress’s overall look lacked the flair expected from a red carpet appearance. Some fashion critics pointed out that the tightly pulled hair made the ensemble appear “overworked” and didn’t complement the starlit aura of the dress.

    On the other hand, Indian actress Tara Sutaria previously wore the same outfit for the cover shoot of Elle India, and the internet hasn’t forgotten. Tara styled the outfit with a touch of wild elegance, her tousled, loosely braided hair and soft fringe gave the shimmering dress a dreamy, effortless charm. The undone styling contrasted beautifully with the precision of the handcrafted cut-dana work, elevating the dress into a full fashion fantasy.

    While Sajal Aly’s powerful on-screen presence continues to win hearts, this style battle has fans agreeing: when it comes to this Shehla Chatoor masterpiece, Tara Sutaria carried it with unmatched grace and attitude.

  • Petition in Islamabad High Court seeks action against ‘Lazawal Ishq’

    Petition in Islamabad High Court seeks action against ‘Lazawal Ishq’

    A petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the controversial reality TV show Lazawal Ishq, accusing it of airing inappropriate content.

    Chairman of the Aman Taraqqi Party, Muhammad Faiq, filed the petition, stating that the show Lazawal Ishq is promoting content that goes against the country’s religious and social values.

    The petition requests the court to direct the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to strictly monitor such indecent content on digital platforms. It also seeks the court’s guidance regarding the role of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII).

    Lazawal Ishq, hosted by Ayesha Omar, is based on the Turkish reality show Ask Odasi. The program features men and women living together in a villa, forming relationships, participating in games, while cameras record their interactions. Eventually, one couple emerges as the winner.

    After the release of the show’s teaser last month, backlash emerged swift and harsh. Some users called it a bold move for Pakistan’s entertainment industry, while others demanded a complete boycott and action against the producers.

    Some users referred to it as a dating show, but the Bulbulay actress clarified that it is not.

    PEMRA confirmed that it had received numerous complaints regarding the show. However, Lazawal Ishq has not been issued a license for television broadcasting in Pakistan. PEMRA clarified that its regulatory authority is limited to licensed channels, while the show is being aired on YouTube and other digital platforms.

    The show has released 13 episodes so far and, despite the criticism, it has also garnered millions of views.

    Fans are an integral part of an actor’s professional life and that is why at events like Hum Awards, celebs go up to fans and give back love by clicking photos with them.

    Heartthrob Hania Aamir, however, was subjected to inappropriate physical contact by fans during the red carpet event of the Hum Awards 2025, held in Houston, Texas.

    While the actress graciously posed for photos and interacted warmly with admirers, a video doing the rounds on social media has raised concerns about the boundaries that some fans crossed while posing with her.

    Upon her arrival at the venue, Hania was swarmed by fans, many of them women, eager to take selfies and hug the actress. In the viral video, multiple individuals can be seen grabbing Hania’s hands and shoulders, with one particular moment showing her visibly uncomfortable as she removes a woman’s hands from her body.

    Despite the discomfort, Hania continued engaging with fans, smiling through the encounter and taking pictures without showing irritation.

    The video quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking debate about personal space and the entitlement of fans during public interactions with celebrities. While many praised Hania’s patience and professionalism, others called out the inappropriate behaviour, emphasizing that admiration should not override basic respect and consent.

    “It’s okay to love someone, but it’s not okay to touch them like that,” one user commented.

    Another quipped: “Woman so goated that even aunties started harassing.”

    “Aunties ka bas chale toh ghar le jayein Hania ko,” joked another, highlighting the intensity of the encounter.
