    ‘Ahad feared he would lose me’: Sajal Aly makes revelations about Ahad’s magical proposal

    Actor Sajal Aly is opening about her relationship with husband Ahad Raza Mir and how their equation developed over the years.

    Speaking to journalist Maliha Rehman in a recent interview, the Khel Khel Mein spilled the beans on how the Sammi star proposed her.

    “Ahad has talked about me a lot in his past interviews but, somehow, I’m only doing it now,” she smiles. “It’s just that I rarely give interviews and I worry that, if I’ll get asked about Ahad, I’ll just end up going on and on.”

    Walking down the memory lane, the Mom star spilled how Ahad had asked her hand in marriage on the sets of Aangan.

    “We had just got engaged when we started working in Aangan together. He had proposed to me and I had told him that he needed to reach out to my family. The very next day, I had fallen ill and Ahad’s mother had come to take care of me for three days. My father had been very surprised but my sister told him that Ahad’s family were thinking of marriage. Once I got better, Ahad’s parents came to Lahore, met my family and we got engaged.

    She continued, “I later asked Ahad why he had been in such a hurry to get engaged. He told me that he had been afraid that, if he didn’t ask me to marry him, he would lose me, and I would marry someone else.” 

    Speaking about their Zee5 project after grand wedding in Abu Dhabi, Sajal revealed that her and Ahad have now decided to take a break from joint projects.

     “I thought that Dhoop Ki Deewar had a simple story and I would be working with a great team,” she says about the series. “But Ahad and I did decide that we had been acting together far too frequently and that we should take a break from it, unless, of course, the sort of story comes along that we can’t resist.”

    The pair posed with Sajal’s former co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui from the movie Mom in Dubai at the prestigious Filmfare Middle East Awards ceremony. The Yeh Dil Mera diva shared picture on her Instagram stories.

    ‘Ayeza has more followers, Pakistanis made her popular’: Yasir Hussain slams Esra Bilgic

    The Jhooti star Yasir Hussain stated on Naumaan Ijaz’s show G Sarkar that Turkish industry’s canvas is not bigger than Pakistan’s and cited the example of Esra Bilgic that now she has 6 Million followers on Instagram but before Ertugrul’s broadcast in Pakistan, she had one million followers.

    He added that Pakistanis followed her and made her bigger, Ayeza Khan has ten times more followers than her.

    Ever since Yasir Hussain likened Turkish dramas to ‘landay k kapray‘, the actor has been at the receiving end of trolling by fans of Diriliş: Ertuğrul. Cyber trolls even edited Yasir’s bio on Google and listed Esra as his parent.

    Yasir has often found himself at the receiving end of flak with his comments on Turkish actors and dramas. When Diriliş: Ertuğrul initially aired in April 2020, the actor had likened Turkish dramas to ‘landay k kapray’.

    “Landy k kapray aur Turkey k dramay, dono hee local industry ko tabah kardein gay,” the actor had said.

    Later, the actor was reported to have likened Turkish actors to ‘kachra‘ (garbage). According to details, Yasir while sharing a picture of ‘Pakistani Turgut and Pakistani Ertuğrul’ had commented: “Inko koi nahi poochega (no one will give them any attention). Kyunke ghar ki murgi daal barabar or bahar ka kachra bhi maal barabar,” insinuating that Pakistanis do not appreciate local talent enough.

    He was also very critical of QMobile for appointing Esra as their brand ambassador.

    “Apko nahi lagta k Pakistan brand ki brand ambassador bhi Pakistani honi chahiye? Na Indian na Turkish? Pakistan Zindabad (Don’t you think Pakistani brands should have Pakistani brand ambassadors? Neither Turkish nor Indian),” the actor had written on social media.

    Earlier, Yasir responded to a netizen who asked him if he wants to increase his followers on Instagram and stated that he should ask this to Pakistani leading ladies, Mahira Khan and Ayeza Khan. Yasir believes that they are in a race to garner maximum followers.
