Hania Aamir and Asim Azhar are taking the Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches very seriously. Asim, who is supporting Karachi Kings this year, teased Hania last night after the Peshawar Zalmi lost the match (PZ). Hania is the official celebrity ambassador of PZ.
Following their Twitter banter, Asim posted a video of the two being goofy.
Earlier, Asim had requested fans to enjoy and celebrate the matches within the limits of decency.
It appears that there is no holding back for Yasir Hussain when it comes to expressing his love for Iqra Aziz because the actor recently got his wife’s named tattooed on his arm, pictures of which are going viral on the internet.
The tattoo is pretty big in size and covers a large portion of Yasir’s arm. Now that’s a big commitment.
Meanwhile, Yasir also shared a picture of himself showing off his tattoo to the other newlyweds: Hassan Hayat Khan and Sadia Ghaffar, who tied the knot over the weekend.
While the trend of tattooing your better half’s name on your body is new in Pakistan, couples in other parts of the world have been doing it for a while. For example, Deepika Padukone had a tattoo of Ranbir Kapoor’s initials on the back of her neck; Saif Ali Khan got Kareena Kapoor’s name tattooed on his arm.
Iqra and Yasir have lately been on a PDA spree and have been sharing loved up photos of themselves from Sadia and Hassan’s wedding on social media.
Actor Sonam Kapoor made an appeal on social media on Sunday night. She requested her fans to be on the right side of history.
She took to Twitter to condemn the continuing violence in New Delhi and wrote, “This is an appeal. You will forever regret it otherwise,”
She also wrote, “Silence is not always golden, it can a sign of moral ambiguity, cowardice and thus destructive.”
Earlier, poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar also raise his voice against the violence.
He tweeted: “So many killed, so many injured, so many houses burned, so many shops looted, so many people turned destitute but police has sealed only one house and looking for his owner. Incidentally, his name is Tahir. Hats off to the consistency of the Delhi police.”
Actors Raveena Tandon, Swara Bhaskar and directors Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt and Anurag Kashyap have also spoken up against the violence in India’s capital.
Many protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) have been taking place in Delhi for months now but the situation appears to have worsened dramatically after shocking incidents of police brutality at universities and a mosque burning down by a mob.
With the fate of Zindagi Tamasha still undecided, it comes as no surprise that its director Sarmad Khoosat is upset and frustrated with members of the film and TV ‘fraternity’. And the director made it very clear in a recent tweet.
It is still not known whether Zindagi Tamasha will ever see the light of the day or not. The film, which was scheduled to hit screens on January 25, was stopped from being released days before its release after the federal and provincial governments feared public unrest.

While the Federal Government had said that the film will be reviewed by the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), the Punjab Government had directed the filmmaker to hold a screening on February 3 so that the film can be reviewed again. However, the screening has not taken place as yet. It is pertinent to mention here that the provincial and central censor boards had earlier cleared the film for release with a few cuts.
Ever since the film was barred from release, director Sarmad had not made a public statement regarding the film. His father, Irfan Khoosat, who had filed a case against Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) for interfering in the smooth release of the film also withdrew his petition for reasons unknown.
Meanwhile, TLP chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi had remarked that he would not let the film release no matter what saying: “We will not let Zindagi Tamasha release and will do whatever it takes to make sure it does not see the light of day.”

Earlier, Sarmad had also appealed to the Prime Minister, President, Chief of Army Staff and the Chief Justice of Pakistan to facilitate the release of the film.
Celebrities who voiced their support for Sarmad in this time include Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Sanam Saeed, Mansha Pasha and Osman Khalid Butt.
Mahira Khan took to Instagram to tell her fans who she wishes she was.
Mahira posted a video of a woman skiing while having a cup of tea (or coffee) saying that she wishes she was a morning person.
Mahira has 5.6 million followers on Instagram, the largest following of any Pakistani actress.
Acclaimed director Wajahat Rauf has started shooting his fourth film with Ali Rehman Khan and Hania Aamir. The film titled Pardey Main Rehnay Do will be the duo’s second outing – they both first appeared together in Janaan as siblings.
Rauf and his wife Shazia Wajahat shared pictures from their first day on the sets of the film.
According the director, the film is based on “a social issue which has been dealt with in a light way.”
Meanwhile, the film has had its fair share of challenges. It was initially reported to be directed by Mohsin Ali of Chupan Chupai fame, who has also penned the script, and Ahsan Khan was on board as the male lead. However, the script ended up with Rauf who selected Sheheryar Munawar as his lead. Munawar later backed out of the project due to unknown reasons and Ali ended up replacing him.
Pardey Main Rehnay Do is being produced by Rauf, under the banner of his production house Showcase Productions along with Zayed Sheikh. It is scheduled to release sometime in 2020.
It’s official. Syra Yousuf and Shahroz Sabzwari have ended their seven-year marriage due to “irreconcilable differences”.
Both Syra and Shahroz made the announcement on social media, requesting their fans and the media to “respect their privacy” and give them their space.
Rumours of the couple’s split emerged on social media in late December following which Shahroz took to Instagram to clarify that he and Syra were just “separated” at that point and were working towards reconciliation.
Explaining the situation, Shahroz had said, “I want to start with describing the issue. What has happened between Syra and me is our personal matter. We have not divorced, we are just separated. Syra is my wife! And I don’t understand how people are saying that ‘the news has been confirmed, they [Syra and Shehroz] are not together after seven years of marriage.’ Who said this? Was it me, or was it Syra, or our family, or our cousins, who said this? No one!”
Speaking further, the actor explained the difference between a divorce and separation asserting that he and Syra are are only separated.
“What is separation? My wife and I were having some issues so we decided that instead of spoiling our relationship and the family’s decorum, we should give each other space. And this is called separation. And after attaining that space, we get to understand whether we can reconcile or not, and then bigger decisions are made.”

Shahroz also addressed the rumours that the couple split because of a third person, namely Sadaf Kanwal.
“Another rumour claims that they’re not together because of a girl, Sadaf. Again, who said this? Was it me, or was it Syra, or our family, or our cousins, or our friends, who said this? No one!” he remarked. “But you all still decided to drag someone’s sister, daughter, into the matter and became the jury and judge yourself.”
He had said that he met Sadaf a month before the episode and that too only for work.
“Just because she danced with me does not mean we have something going on, and it’s so bold of you all to assume that a person I met one month ago is responsible for a separation that happened six months ago.”
Sadaf and Shahroz are said to have met while rehearsing for their performance at the third IPPA Awards held in December last year in Oslo, Norway.
Meanwhile, Sadaf had also asserted that “Shahroz and I are just friends. I met him a month ago while he was already separated from wife Syra.”
Syra and Shahroz tied the knot in 2012 after a long on-off relationship which began in 2006. Although the two did not share the screen very often after getting married, they were still one of Pakistan’s most beloved couples. They have a five-year-old daughter together, Noorey.
The two will reportedly also be appearing in a romantic-comedy together this year. Much of the film has already been shot in Bahrain.
Sadia Ghaffar and Hassan Hayat Khan’s wedding festivities have kicked off and pictures from the event are going viral on social media. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a star-studded wedding? The couple recently got engaged in a small ceremony but the wedding functions are full of mauj masti and dhol dhamaka.
The mayun event was very bright with lots of celebrities, Saadia was donned in a simple white lehenga while the groom put on a yellow mayun kurta.
Celebrities including Sajal Aly, Yasir Hussain, Iqra Aziz, Saboor Aly and Kinza Hashmi danced with the couple.
The mayun was followed by a dholki ceremony where Sadia was wearing an emerald green and gold outfit by Khadija Batool, coupled with Ali Javeri jewels. Hassan kept it simple in an off-white sherwani.
Parey Hut Love’s Haye Dil Bechara is the shaadi anthem of the season and has everyone hooked to its groovy tune. But our happy bubble popped when a Twitter user alleged that the song has been ‘inspired’ by a Spanish song titled Sofia by Spanish-German singer Álvaro Tauchert Soler. The song, released in 2016, was a hit in Europe, reaching number 1 in Poland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belgium and Switzerland.
On the other hand, Haye Dil Bechara’s music has been composed by Azaan Sami Khan, while the film’s director Asim Raza has penned the lyrics of the song sung by Jimmy Khan.

Do you think Haye Dil Bechara has been inspired or copied?
Meanwhile the team of Parey Hut Love, including director Asim Raza, producer Sheheryar Munawar and music composer Azaan Sami Khan have not yet responded to the claims.
However, journalist Fifi Haroon stated that the story was previously done and dusted.
Newlyweds Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain are currently in the process of setting up their marital abode and in a video posted to Iqra’s YouTube channel, the couple shows their fans and followers how they set up their living room to make it “Less house, more home.”
According to Iqra, “A room should feel collected not decorated.”
Iqra teased the vlog on Instagram with a one minute video.
We can see the bright colors on the walls, plants in the lounge and some very fascinating paintings, sculptures as well as a portrait of a famous poet Juan Elia in the living room.
