Actor Muneeb Butt in his recent interview with host Tabish Hashmi, made some revelations about his caste. The Daldal star stated that his cast, pronounced as ‘Butt’ in Pakistan, is originally Bhatt. However when the Kashmiris migrated to Pakistani Punjab from India, the caste name became Butt from Bhatt due to the Punjabi dialect.
“Originally it is Bhatt, not Butt, when Kashmiris migrated here, the name became Butt. People in Punjab pronounce words differently, such as bhai (brother) became paen. They don’t use B and H together.”
Earlier in an interview with Waseem Badami did not hesitate to call out the government, which promised to give a Rs 2,000 monthly subsidy to all citizens earning less than Rs40,000.
Shedding light on inflation, the Qarar hero had a hilarious response to what the government has to offer to the needy. He joked sarcastically and said he will marry off his daughter with that Rs2,000.
“I have kept them in the bank. I will buy a plot with the remaining amount.”

On Friday, Deadline reported that the show did not have a strong enough showing on Netflix’s worldwide top 10 ratings, nor was its cost versus views on the streaming site high enough, a criteria for any show to be renewed.
Falling behind Stranger Things, which was released at the same time, Resident Evil, which starred Charlie’s Angels actor Ella Balinska, debuted at the second spot on the worldwide trends list with 72.7 million hours viewed on its opening weekend. However, the show did not deliver big for the second week. For the third week, the show dropped, falling out of the top 10 ranking.

Actors Hamza Ali Abbasi and Aisha Khan have always maintained that they have been the best of friends even prior to working on projects like Man Mayal and Jawani Phir Nahi Aani.
The on-screen duo recently had a reunion in Islamabad along with their respective spouses. Going by the pictures, they seem to have a great evening together.
Aisha and her husband Major Uqbah Hadeed Malik recently welcomed their second child, a baby boy. The couple has one older daughter, who was born in 2019. Aisha and Uqbah tied the knot in 2019.
On the other hand, Hamza is gearing up for his forthcoming movie The Legend Of Maula Jatt‘s theatrical release, whereas Naimal Khawar also recently hinted at the possibility of her comeback to the showbiz in another year.
Actor Naveen Waqar is currently promoting her forthcoming film Carma, which will be released on 2nd September across Pakistan.
She rose to fame after starring in the popular series Humsafar with Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in 2011. Naveen later married the comedian and actor Azfar Ali in 2012, but they later divorced for unspecified reasons.
The Ainee Ki Ayegi Baraat star recently discussed how her marriage and divorce affected her in an interview. “Of course, it was difficult for me to go through this tough time during my career, because I was somebody who just started out. My first play was Humsafar and it just skyrocketed, giving me the spotlight”, says Navin.
She added, “It was a very difficult transition to go from there and then pull yourself out of it and stand up again. It required a lot of strength. This whole situation made me realize how strong I was to be able to step out of that and then build myself up again. It was a great transition period for me and yes that has absolutely made me into that person where I don’t want to share my personal life with others.”
It was alleged that Azfar didn’t divorce his first wife while tying the knot with Waqar but falsely told her that he was divorced already.
Last year, while speaking in a live Instagram session, Waqar mentioned, “There is nothing wrong with being single, first of all,” she began. “It is one of the most important phases in a woman’s life where she is independent, where she is getting to live her dreams, achieve her goals, live life to the fullest. I think there is nothing wrong with that.”
Navin went on to highlight the obsession many have with women getting married. “If God forbid, I attend a wedding or an engagement, so many aunties ask me when I am getting married. So, I’m just thinking to myself, ‘Why am I being asked this question relentlessly? There are 15 men behind me who are balding and aging. Nobody says anything to them.’ I usually just respond that it is better to stay single and happy than marrying the wrong person.”
She remarked that if someone is supposed to get married, if that’s in their fate, then nothing will get in the way of it. “So, don’t listen to any kind of trash talk that comes your way. Understand that life is a gift and you are on this earth to do beautiful and amazing things and you do not have to get married in order to achieve that,” said the actor. “If anybody who is single right now, I think it’s a great time to make a bucket list and achieve all the things you want.”
In 2015, Azfar also shared why they parted ways. He said, “I don’t think the reason behind the divorce is important, it’ll be enough to say that we were not getting along and if things are not happy at home, there is no point in dragging them on.”

He broke down and even expressed how hard it was to see his son in that form at the age of just 28. Police continue their investigation and several linked to the case have been arrested.
The Punjabi rapper was very famous for his songs and now those same songs are now bringing cheer across the Indian-Pakistan border. The popularity of his songs is not just restricted to India but his magic also spreads worldwide, and now it has managed to make the two boundaries (India and Pakistan border) bond.
Recently, Indian IPS officer HGS Dhaliwal shared a heartwarming video on Twitter. In the video, Indian Army personnel are seen grooving to Sidhu Moose Wala’s Bambiha Bole, which was being played on speakers by Pakistani soldiers across the border.

Actor Haroon Kadwani is currently riding high on the success of his telefilm Ruposh. However the young star is often compared with Feroze Khan, in terms of his looks and craft.
Haroon reacted to these comparisons in his recent interview with a digital magazine.
“As far as resemblance goes, that’s natural, I can’t do anything about it,” Haroon shares his thoughts. “But in terms of acting, Feroze is not my inspiration. However, for me, it is an honor to be compared to such an established star like Feroze Khan,” he said.
Netizens recently gave polarising response to his viral dancing video.
Unprecedented rainfall over the last few weeks has wreaked havoc across Pakistan since June and left destruction in their wake, with no respite for people as rivers continue to overrun, resulting in flash floods.
Official statistics show that 982 people have been killed in rain and flood-related incidents, while more than 5.7 million people have been affected.
While South Punjab and parts of Swat are going through a disastrous period, the entirety of Balochistan and Sindh is alarming. It is reported that hundreds of people have died as a result of buildings entirely submerging in water.
Prayers for all the flood victims in different regions of the country.
This is the time to stand as a nation and help them as much as possible.
In this hard time, I request all the citizens to help and donate as much as they can for the sufferer of the flood that has caused great catastrophe in Balochistan, Sindh and South Punjab. Let us come out of this as a nation.
In light of the ongoing situation, celebrities and sports personalities have called on the nation to donate generously to provide some measure of relief to the affected people.

Actor Hania Aamir, who is currently riding high on the success of her latest blockbuster drama, Mere Hamsafar, has opened up on comparisons of her and co-star Farhan Saeed’s pairing with Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s chemistry from Humsafar.
Mahira and Fawad’s pairing as Khirad and Ashar from Sarmad Khoosat’s Humsafar has been hailed as the best on Pakistani television in the last two decades. The two will be seen together in two major feature films this year, Neelofar and The Legend Of Maula Jatt.
During another interview with Something Haute, the Sang e Mah diva stated that she was a person who never put herself first, and let the backlash on social media and controversies get the best of her.
The Titli star said “when new actors enter the industry, they are not really trained for fame or how to handle it, and so people learn via trial and error.”
Hania advised the viewers not to put their relationships on media because if things do not work out, it is nearly impossible to clarify about what went wrong. She said even people from the industry start weighing in on your life.
Actress Sadia Faisal reacted to Aamir’s post by saying that celebrities these days even post about when they’re using the loo.
Earlier this year after Hania’s dancing video from Asim Azhar’s concert went viral, the Jo Tu Na Mila singer made an indirect jibe at Hania with a cryptic post.
