Nimra Bucha is all geared up to star in another international project, Me, My Mom & Sharmila, after impressing her fans with her performances in Ms. Marvel and Zee5 web series Churails.
Me, My Mom & Sharmila is an adaptation of Fawzia Mirza’s stage play of the same name and will also mark the writer’s directorial debut. It will star Nimra Bucha in the lead alongside Amrit Kaur (The Sex Lives of College Girls) and Hamza Haq (Transplant).
The film is produced by Jason Levangie and Marc Tetreault for Shut Up & Colour Pictures and Andria Wilson Mirza for Baby Daal Productions.
According to Variety, the film, set in 1999, follows Azra (Kaur) over 48 hours as she travels from her home in Canada to her parents’ homeland of Pakistan to bury her father (Haq). Azra struggles to connect with her conservative mother Mariam (Bucha), but her return to Pakistan launches her into memories both real and imagined that reveal their unexpected similarities.
The film is told with humor and deep insight, this journey of self-discovery follows Mirza from her childhood as a Pakistani Muslim in small-town Canada to her adulthood as an actress in the heart of Chicago. Through it all, the two women’s shared love for glamorous Bollywood film star Sharmila Tagore serves as a symbol of the familial love that ties them together forever.
Fawzia Mirza shared a post on her Instagram, thanking the whole team involved in the project:
While opening up about her career trajectory in a recent interview, actor Saboor Aly said that she believes that she is the Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan of Pakistan.
Saboor revealed that Khushhal is five years younger than her and being cast opposite him definitely felt like being Bollywood’s Khans who work with extremely younger leading ladies. Khushhal is a newcomer in the industry and he has just started his career. People loved watching his pairing with Saboor.

Earlier this month, the Fitrat star took to her Instagram stories to share her stance on a viral blooper video from the latest episode of her drama Mushkil.
Saboor also took a dig at the drama’s editor.
Recently social media users paused and screen-recorded a scene where Faraz (Khushhal Khan) is fighting with his brother while his wife Sameen (Saboor) is seen laughing in the frame, completely out of character. She snaps back to the character immediately but even the editing department couldn’t cut out the error.
The clip went viral immediately and then started a plethora of memes on the micro-blogging site. Exposing Saboor’s hilarious acting slip, a fan wrote that it was easily their “favourite” bit from the show. “My favourite bit from the entire show is these guys fighting for life and then the camera pans to Saboor and the girl is out of her character, laughing.”

Another netizen blamed the editing team for not being “paid enough” to see the slip-up.

Based on an estranged equation between three friends navigating through love and life, the Marina Khan directorial Mushkil has been a household favourite for various reasons with the top one being Saboor and Khushhal’s chemistry.
Senior writer-director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has landed in hot waters due to his leaked audio tape with an anonymous woman.
In the conversation, the woman, whose identity remains uncertain, can be heard saying that as per their mutual understanding, she wanted to meet him; however, her skeptical husband didn’t let it happen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xrugolax4g
The women even told him that after that, her relationship with her husband had turned soar and they were not talking to each other.
Thus, she attempted to convince Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar to have belief in her and also told that if he agreed, she would send him her picture showing that she was ready to step outside of her house to meet him but the writer scolded her and even used explicit words.
Qamar has married twice – initially to Rubi Naz and later to Rozina Qureshi.
Recently actress Resham shared her stance on Khalil-ur-Rehman and Mahira Khan’s controversy on Tabish Hashmi’s show Hasna Mana Hai.
On being asked by the host about her opinion on the writer, Resham said that he is talented when it comes to story telling, however his comments about top actress Mahira Khan are derogatory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvbWy3x3Xcw&t=2s
“He said that he regrets signing Mahira for Sadqay Tumhare, but who is he to sign her?,” she asked.
It is the producer or the channel’s call to hire an actor and that too of Mahira’s stature. Khalil is just the writer and doesn’t hold the autonomy on over the project’s casting.
The Naagin star also said that that Qamar likes to connect his name to established stars particularly females to get clout on media.

Previously Resham took to her Instagram handle to write a scathing comment for Qamar after the latter commented on the Masjid-e-Nabvi incident involving PMLN leaders.
The Jeeva star said that Khalil has gone mad and he needs to admitted to a mental hospital before he starts biting everyone with his poisonous teeth.
Writer-Director Khalil-ur-Rehman recently took to his twitter handle to share his take on the Masjid e Nabvi incident involving PML-N.
He asked that when was this ordered that we can’t term a thief as one at the holy place?
Film Star Shaan Shahid recently criticised cricketer Fakhar Zaman’s recent performance on the field during the Asia Cup 2022 series. During the last match between Pakistan and India, Zaman could not perform to his full capacity, for which he was also scrutinised on social media.
The hashtag of Fakhar Zaman’s name was also among the top trends on Twitter.
During the match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup, actor, Shaan was extremely displeased with Fakhar’s performance. He took it to his Twitter, where he denunciated Fakhar’s batting and fielding, in multiple tweets.
Fakhr 16 balls 15 runs only 2 balls from the middle of the bat … and you are suppose to be playing national cricket wow
Post his comments, several netizens trolled him for his remarks. The social media user told him that only 2-4 films of his are worth watching out of his filmography ranging over 500 films.
The Majajan star clapped back at him by saying that there is a difference between arts and sports.
Earlier this year, the Zaraar hero grilled former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar for wishing former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on his birthday and not wishing birthday to former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
“Happy Birthday @sachin_rt . Hope you’re having a wonderful day,” wrote Shoaib Akhtar while sharing an old picture with Tendulkar.
Wah bhai inki to yaad hai .. @ImranKhanPTI ki 5 th October ko birthday thee 2021 main .. ek bhi message nahi apkay twitter account per .. bhai ?
Shaan, in the comments section of twitter account, expressed anger at Shoaib for wishing birthday to Sachin, reminding the former pacer that he had not wished former Prime Minister Imran Khan on his birthday.
“Wah bhai inki to yaad hai .. @ImranKhanPTI ki 5th October ko birthday thee 2021 main .. ek bhi message nahi apkay twitter account per .. bhai?,” wrote Shaan.
Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are actively promoting their upcoming film Brahmastra as the release date draws closer. There have been calls for the boycott of Brahmastra as well for different reasons. Whether it is Karan Johar’s backing of the film or Alia Bhatt’s controversial comments in a recent interview, the movie has been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Recently internet users dug out an old Ranbir Kapoor interview from ten years ago and cited it as a reason to boycott the film.
The video of the interview is being reshared now with fresh calls for a boycott of his forthcoming biggie.
Not just a boycott, the beef controversy resulted in an embarrassing affair for the lead couple of the film. Members of right-wing groups Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, created a huge row in Ujjain today ahead of the visit of actors Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Ayan Mukerji. They were to visit the famous Jyotirlinga at the Mahakaleshwar Temple this evening.
Ahead of the visit, the right-wing workers gathered at the main gate and the conch gate meant for VVIPs to show them black flags. The police had to use batons to bring the crowd under control.
After promoting the film in Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, the lead actors of Brahmastra had taken a flight to Ujjain hoping to visit the Mahakaleshwar Temple along with director Ayan Mukerji.
Since Alia Bhatt is pregnant, she decided not to go to the temple amid the ruckus. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor returned to Indore without darshan. From Indore, they will take a flight to Mumbai, said Ashish Singh, the Collector of Ujjain.
After the situation was brought under control, only Ayan Mukerji went to the temple and had darshan, said Mr Singh.
Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Akkineni Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles and is a fantasy adventure film that draws heavily from mythology. It is slated for release on September 9.
Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen and IPL founder Lalit Modi took the internet by storm when they made their relationship official a little over a month ago. However, rumours about their break up have started doing the rounds since Modi has changed his bio and profile picture on Instagram.
The IPL founder and business tycoon announced his relationship with Sushmita on his social media space on July 14th this year. Proclaiming his love for the former Miss Universe, he also changed his profile picture on Instagram, along with his bio. It read, “founder @iplt20 INDIAN PREMIERE LEAGUE finally starting a new life with my partner in crime. My love @sushmitasen47.” But things have changed now, which has sparked breakup rumours. Modi has not only changed his display picture, but his bio too, as he removed the part about Sushmita. However, the duo has not made any official statements yet.
Recently, Sushmita was spotted with her ex-beau Rohman Shawl quite a few times, which left netizens asking about Lalit Modi. Although Sushmita and Rohman announced their break up last year, they maintain a good bond.
Back in July, he shared a slew of pictures with Sushmita on his Instagram space from their holiday together. Sharing the photos he wrote, “Just back in London after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families – not to mention my # better-looking partner @sushmitasen47 – a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon. In love does not mean marriage yet. But one that by God’s grace will happen. I just announced that we are together”
The post created a lot of buzz on social media, with many speculating if the duo is going to get married soon. However, the ex-IPL boss soon clarified that the two are ‘just dating’.
Sushmita had shut trolls with an apt note, who referred to her as a ‘gold digger’ soon after the announcement of their relationship. A part of the note posted by the Aarya actress read, “I dig deeper than Gold…and I’ve always (famously) preferred Diamonds!! And yes I still buy them myself!!! I love the all-heart support my well-wishers & loved ones continue to extend. Please know, that your Sush is ABSOLUTELY fine.. cause I’ve never lived on the transient borrowed light of approval & applause. I am the Sun….perfectly Centred in my being & my conscience!! I love you guys!!!”
Lalit Modi has been in London since 2010 when he left India amid investigations into tax evasion and money-laundering cases.
Sen, who was crowned Miss Universe in 1994, made her debut in Bollywood with the 1996 film Dastak. She has starred in films like Biwi No 1, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Main Hoon Na and No Problem.
Sushmita has two daughters – Alisah and Renee. The 46-year-old actress was last seen in the web series Aarya 2.
The sprinter, Naseem Shah, said in a recent interview that he only focuses on his matches. “I don’t know who Urvashi Rautela is. People usually send me videos but I have no idea,” the young star from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa clarified when asked about the viral video Urvashi shared on her social media.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt-qYgN8zOs&t=8s
Urvashi took to her Instagram and replied with a strong statement. The Bollywood star stated that her team shared fan made edits without her knowledge on her Instagram handle. She wrote, “Couple of days back, my team shared all fan-made cute edits (around 11-12) without any knowledge of Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela posted an edited video of her and Naseem Shah smiling at each other.
Twitterati claimed, initially, Urvashi was following Naseem Shah on Instagram, however, she unfollowed the Pakistan pacer after the latter disclosed he doesn’t know who Urvashi really is.
After India and Pakistan’s nail-biting group stage match, Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela posted an edited clip on her Instagram in which footage is cut to make it seem as if Shah has smiled at her and then she smiles back.
The clip seemed edited as in the first clip, the scorecard was at 1-1 while in the second clip of Urvashi returning the smile, the scorecard jumped upto 97-4.
NASEEM WASN'T LOOKING AT HER 😭😭😭, THESE ARE HIS EXPRESSIONS WHEN HE ALMOST GOT KOHLI WITH AN INSWING. https://t.co/cSjLoxcHQG
A user wrote, “NASEEM WASN’T LOOKING AT HER, THESE ARE HIS EXPRESSIONS WHEN HE ALMOST GOT KOHLI WITH AN INSWING.”
A user expressed his disappointment after finding out that Urvashi was not there for Panday or Pant but for someone else.
“Some were saying she was there for Hardik Pandya, others were saying Rishabh Pant, but this lady was clearly ahead of all of us.” tweeted a user.
some were saying she was there for hardik pandya, others were saying rishabh pant. but, yeh baaji tou bohat hi agay nikal gayi hain. 😭 https://t.co/MiEy9QvSnp
Actor Azekah Daniel took to Twitter to share the reason for walking out of a talk show’s set. The Cheekh actress schooled the comedians on the show of being oblivious to the fine line between joking and bullying. The Noor Jehan star showed her disapproval over the nature of jokes made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYEhJTOwrA&t=48s
She stated, “So today I walked out of a show because some comedians clearly don’t understand the difference between humour or degrading someone. Tears rolled down as I left the set full of people. Jokes are meant to be funny not hurt someone’s feelings.”
Netizens appreciated Daniel for not taking insensitive jokes with a pinch of salt and for shaming such humour publicly.
Bigg Boss 14 contestant and social media star Sonali Phogat’s sudden demise has left her family and fans in a state of shock. Earlier it was reported that the BJP leader passed away due to a cardiac arrest, however, her autopsy report brought shocking details to the forefront.
Recently, Sonali’s post-mortem report surfaced on the web and it stated that there were multiple ‘blunt force injuries. Following the results, Goa police have now filed a murder case.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYEhJTOwrA&t=48s
Sonali, who rose to fame with TikTok videos, passed away on August 22.
Phogat’s death soon took an ugly turn. According to the latest media reports, the BJP leader was drugged during a party before her death. Shocking, right? Reportedly, her associates Sudhir Sagwan and Sukhwinder, who were recently interrogated by the Goa police for their connection with the alleged murder, had mixed a chemical in her drink.
Giving details of Sonali Phogat’s case, Goa Inspector General Omvir Singh Bishnoi told a section of media, “It was seen that one suspect gave her some substance forcefully. She was given some obnoxious chemical and after that, she was not in control.”
“At 4:30 am when she was not in control, the suspect took her in the toilet and there is no explanation of what they did for two hours. The duo are arrested. The FSL team will take them to various places. The duo will be produced in court soon. Seems to be that she died under the influence of this drug,” added the officer.
Soon after Sonal Phogat’s autopsy report had surfaced, police had begun interrogating his close aides. It was being said they were just questioned and not arrested. On the other hand, the BJP leader’s family alleges that she was r*ped by her assistants.
The alleged murderers mixed a chemical in her drink.
The latest report from Republic World, Sonali Phogat’s assistant Sudhir Sangwan, who is accused of her murder, has now confessed to his crimes during the investigation. She was brought to Goa from Gurgaon in the garb of a photo shoot.
The report quoted a source close to the Goa police as saying, “There was no planning to shoot in Goa. Sudhir and his aide had actually conspired to murder Phogat.” His aide Sukhwinder Singh, restaurateur Edwin Nunes, and alleged drug peddlers Dattaprasad Gaonkar and Ramdas Mandrekar are also being arrested for Phogat’s death.
Goa police had also confirmed that all the relevant documents have been recovered that are enough to get Sudhir Sangwan convicted in the murder case. They have now enough proof to stand strong in court during the trial.
Previous reports revealed that Sonali Phogat and her aides partied at the Curlies restaurant on the intervening night of August 22 and 23. CCTV footage of the incident also went viral on social media. In the video, Sudhir Sangwan was seen forcing Phogat to have a drink laced with drugs.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Jivba Dalvi had said that Phogat was administered methamphetamine, and some left-over drug was recovered from the restaurant’s washroom.
Earlier this year when actor Ayesha Omar shared a horse-riding video from the sets of her film, Rehbra costarring Ahsan Khan, her post received backlash over their supposed explicit pose. The Bulbulay diva later edited the caption to include a note specifically aimed at those who had something unpleasant to say about it.
“P.s. turned off comments! Don’t want negative energy around. We just doing our work baby and laughing through the hard, tough shoot to keep our energy, mood and focus up. It was freezing and raining and we hadn’t slept properly in days because of nonstop shoot. We had 30 minutes to finish the entire sequence. We still put in our best with smiles on our faces. And that’s NOT easy,” she wrote in the caption.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8FJ6o2QGw&t=26s
The duo was quick to respond on their personal profiles, with Omar adding in a short note in her original post’s caption. In the note, Omar clarifies the context of the clip, including the cast keeping up morale in the midst of difficult shooting conditions. She wraps up her note by shutting down all unfounded rumors about a romantic relationship between her and Khan.
The Udaari hero also posted an Instagram story to defend the film from the trolls, taking a more humorous approach. He directly addresses the trolls who have torn apart a simple scene from the film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYEhJTOwrA&t=48s
Now the Fraud star has opened up on the scene in an exclusive interview with anchor Shahzad Iqbal on his show, Jashn-e-Cricket.
Although initially Ahsan couldn’t control his laughter on being teased by Shahzad for the scene, later he revealed that the video was misinterpreted by netizens.
Khan also shared the context of the scene and justified the duo’s positioning on the horse.
