    19 years of K3G: Looking back at the film’s most iconic dialogues

    It has been 19 years since Karan Johar’s iconic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham released. The film went on to redefine pop culture and is a favourite in all desi households. In fact, some dialogues from the film have become part of our everyday conversations.

    To mark the film’s anniversary, Johar posted a lovely flashback, saying: “19 years of K3G. I continue to be eternally grateful for the abundant love that continues to come our way. This film will always be a blessing in my filmography.”

    “Thank you for all memes, memories and moments in the past 19 years,” added the director.

    The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in leading roles, with Rani Mukerji appearing in an extended special appearance.

    On the film’s 19th anniversary, here’s taking a look back at some of the film’s memorable dialogues:

    1. Keh diya na … bas keh diya!

    2. Paisa toh har koi kama leta hai … lekin izzat kamana sabke bas ki baat nahi

    3. Dosti ke alava bhi kuch rishtey hote hai … kuch rishtey joh hum samajhte nahi … kuch rishtey joh hum samajhna nahi chahte … kuch rishtey jinka koi naam nahi hota, sirf ehsaas hota hai … kuch rishtey jinki koi deewar nahi hoti, sarhad nahi hoti … aaise rishtey joh dil ke rishtey hote hai, pyar ke rishtey hote hai, mohabbat ke rishtey hote hai .

    4. Zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho … toh hamesha dil ki suno … aur agar dil bhi koi jawab na de toh aankhen band karke apni maa aur papa ka naam lo … phir dekhna har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil aasaan ho jayegi … jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari

    5. Lucknow da kurta, Pathani salwar … tab lage mard, varna lage bekaar

    6. Mere saath prom jaane ke liye tum sabko teen departments mein brilliant hona chahiye … and that is good looks, good looks and good looks

    7. Kabhi kabhi aisa kyun hota hai … ki paraye bhi apne lagne lagte hain

    8. Maafi maange se koi chota barra nahi hota … aur joh maaf kar deta hai uska dil bahut barra hota hai

    9. Ek da vada dil aur duje de vade vade bill

    10. Tussi barre mazaaki ho… barre mazaaki ho

    11. Subah subah shuru ho gayi Madonna

    12. Hey Poo, Movie tonight? Tell me how it was…

    13. What are we waiting for? Christmas?

    14. Chandu ke chacha ne Chandu ki chachi ko chandani raat pay chandi chowk pai chandni ki chamach say chatni chattai.

    15. Mom… Take a chill pill

    Faryal Mehmood wants everyone to leave her marriage alone

    Faryal Mehmood has quashed all rumours and speculation regarding her and husband Daniyal Raheal’s split. Fans and followers had been speculating that all is not well between the couple and that the two are heading towards a divorce just a few months after their marriage.

    In a note posted to social media, Faryal said: “I have been noticing posts all over social media about me and my husband splitting up! Just because I don’t post pictures of him on a regular basis considering we have conflicting schedules, we chose to spend time with each other instead of trying to show and prove to you guys that our marriage is surviving.”

    “I’d like you guys to leave my marriage up to me and Daniyal and focus on issues that are important in your own lives,” she added. “It’s a shame honestly!”

    Faryal and Daniyal tied the knot in an intimate nikkah ceremony in May this year. Earlier when the divorce rumours first circulated, Daniyal posted pictures of the two celebrating Faryal’s birthday to shut them down.

  • A Simple secret to Sheheryar Munawar’s success

    A Simple secret to Sheheryar Munawar’s success

    After working both on and off the screen as an accomplished actor and a producer, Sheheryar Munawar has come a long way since his debut in 2012.

    The 32-year-old delivered one of the biggest local releases of 2019, Parey Hut Love, and is all set to make a comeback on television after six long years in ARY Digital’s Pehli Si Mohabbat. Sheheryar’s stint in the industry as an actor as well as a producer means that he knows how to tackle two different mediums – TV and film.

    Talking to ARY News, Sheheryar shared how he manages to tread the fine line between the two polar mediums, highlighting the technical differences between them. “As an actor, even your movements are part of your acting. When you’re studying acting or working, dialogue delivery is one thing but the movement also plays an important role. I feel that differs quite a bit,” he said.

    He explained how on TV since the screen is restricted shots are taken differently. “You shoot a film shot to shot but for TV, you usually do a long master,” he said, adding how since a film is larger than life so you have more liberty to take risks. “But on TV, the screen is smaller so you have to be careful with how far you can go before risking believability.”

    Referring back to his comment about the difference in dialogue delivery, Sheheryar shared that the pace differs as well. “Usually, while doing a film, you add a punch to the dialogue, but on TV, returning to it after so long, I’ve noticed that the pacing of the dialogue is a little slower.”

    Having broken into the industry relevantly recently and by virtue of his work, the actor had hard-hitting advice for the younger lot looking to find a strong footing in the entertainment world. “Complete your education and only then come into this field!” he exclaimed.

    Sheheryar went on to explain: “A good and complete education is perhaps even more important in this field because you become a public figure and your education shows, which helps you.” He also emphasised the importance of being in control and disciplined when it comes to your work.

    “Contrary to what many may have heard, if you want to be successful, you need to be disciplined,” he said, adding, “If you have been called at nine, come in at nine with your homework done, your dialogues and scenes ready and with your research complete.”

    He had one last pearl of wisdom for newcomers: “If you’re going to do this, do it wholeheartedly with hard work. Don’t just run after fame.”

  • Photographers hit back after Shahveer Jafry accuses them of sharing pictures without consent

    Photographers hit back after Shahveer Jafry accuses them of sharing pictures without consent

    Shahveer Jafry got engaged to fashion designer Ayesha Beig on Wednesday in an intimate ceremony. After much buzz, he took to Instagram and confirmed the news himself with pictures from the event.

    All seemed to be going well until the Canadian-Pakistani YouTuber accused the photographers of sharing pictures and videos from his engagement on social media without his consent.

    In a story posted to his Instagram, Shahveer hit out at the photographers covering his engagement, calling them ‘vultures’. According to him, they had posted the videos and pictures without the couple’s consent.

    While Shahveer later reportedly deleted his story, the photographers responded to his allegations saying that they did not upload a single picture without the bride’s consent, who had hired them. They said it was in fact the couple who posted pictures without giving due credits to the photographers.

    The photographers also posted a couple of screenshots which made Ayesha’s consent evident.

    “And to add up, yes we did called Ayesha twice after seeing the story and before taking any step. She didn’t pick didn’t call back then we took the step. And we were never contacted by anyone from this event for not uploading or removing any pix other than just two posts Ayesha asked.”

    “Infact several guests contacted that they loved the pictures and wonder if we could send them the pictures too. We can upload those screen shots too and screen shot of our call log for calling (with time and date) Ayesha twice before we took our first step.”

    Later, in an Instagram post, the studio said they were “already on” to settle at getting public apology or check from their corporate lawyer over ‘defamation’.

    Shahveer and Ayesha have not yet responded to the photographers.

  • Harrison Ford is coming back for a fifth and final ‘Indiana Jones’ film

    Harrison Ford is coming back for a fifth and final ‘Indiana Jones’ film

    Harrison Ford may be pushing 80, but he’s not too old to don the wide-brimmed fedora of adventurer Indiana Jones for one final film.

    Disney has announced that Ford will be returning as Indiana Jones for a fifth and last Indy flick in 2022 — which has been in development for years.

    “We’re in pre-production on the next and final installment of Indiana Jones,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said on Disney’s mammoth investor day presentation.

    “Of course, Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to conclude this iconic character’s journey. Indy will begin shooting late spring of 2021, and will be released in July of 2022.”

    At the helm will be James Mangold, director of racing flick Ford vs Ferrari and Logan, the final chapter in the long-running series of Wolverine flicks starring Hugh Jackman.

    Steven Spielberg, who directed the first four Indy flicks, had initially been set to direct the final chapter in the Indiana Jones saga but has instead handed the reins to Mangold. He will, however, remain involved as a producer.

    Ford, now 78, first created the role of Indiana Jones in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, just a few years after achieving global fame as Han Solo in the original Star Wars film.

    Three years later, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom followed. In 1989, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade hit theatres, with Sean Connery playing Indy’s dad. Connery passed away in October this year at the age of 90.

    Nearly 20 years would pass before Ford starred in the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which had box office success but was critically panned.

    Disney first announced plans for a fifth film in 2016, with a 2019 release date, but the project was delayed over creative differences between Spielberg, screenwriters and producers.

    Then the coronavirus pandemic upended Hollywood’s production schedule.

    Kashif has also been sharing pictures of Engin’s trip on his social media account.

    He also introduced the actor to his pet lion. Kashif, who earlier met Engin in Turkey, also framed the picture of their meeting and put it up on his wall along with other pictures of himself.

    Meanwhile, addressing a press conference in Lahore on Friday, the star of Diriliş: Ertuğrul revealed that he had signed multiple new projects in Pakistan and that this visit was the first of many more to come.

    He also expressed his desire to work in Pakistani dramas.

    When asked if he would consider working in Pakistani dramas, Engin responded: “Why not! I would love to work in a Pakistani drama or film, given the right opportunity. If the script is good then why not.”

    The actor also won hearts when he said a few words in Urdu.

  • RFAK steals the second episode of CS2020 with ‘Dil Tarpe’

    RFAK steals the second episode of CS2020 with ‘Dil Tarpe’

    With the first episode of Coke Studio 2020 well-received by both critics and the public alike, Coke Studio dropped Episode 2 on Friday featuring performances by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Meesha Shafi and Ali Pervez Mehdi among others.

    RFAK joined hands with classical singer Zara Madani to perform a beautiful tarana Dil Tarpe, bringing a fusion and Qawwali-like flavour to the track.

    In the song, the protagonist is exhibiting distress by emotionally imploring their beloved to have mercy on the heart; longing for the comfort and peace of their beloved’s company.

    Talking about the song, Zara said, “This song is about longing with a very special spiritual connotation; a conversation taking place between a person and their inner self where one pleads for help from the Almighty.”

    Excited about the new collaboration, Khan said, “I don’t think anyone has ever experimented with a tarana the way that we have tried to in this season.”

    In the second song of the episode, newcomer Wajiha Naqvi debuted with a solo performance titled Yaqeen. The song has been written and composed by the artist herself. Carrying a modern pop-rock style, the song has pronounced elements of Indian classical instruments, thus classifying as raga rock, a popular musical genre from the 60s.

    With its powerful lyrics, Yaqeen tells the story of a woman showing resilience and self-reliance in the journey of life. Speaking about the song, Naqvi said: “If men and women are not encouraged or taught to rely on themselves or have faith in themselves, this usually leads them not really knowing who they are and what they are truly capable of. If each person is given the opportunity to explore and discover his/her own self and true potential, they can contribute to society in a more informed manner.”

    Lastly, Ali Pervez Mehdi and Meesha Shafi came together for a catchy Punjabi folk song Gal Sunn. With a contemporary funk element, the song represents the longing between lovers. The rhythm instruments playing interlocking grooves create a toe-tapping and danceable feel.

    “In these times, going through [Covid-19], I wanted people to listen to something positive and fun. That is why I created this song,” said Mehdi, adding that the song gave him hope.

    “I dance to it and I want everyone else to dance to it too!,” he added.

    Meesha, while talking about the song said: “This song has a lovely flirtatious vibe. It is a beautiful composition. Ali has a beautiful voice and his songwriting is really really catchy.”

    Along with a groovy bass line, Serbian brass players have also been incorporated playing the trumpet, tenor saxophone and trombone enhancing the funk feel to this desi melody.

    Produced by Rohail Hyatt, CS2020 started on December 4 and will have only 12 songs, featuring 13 artists.
