    Rumours of them tying the knot had been doing the rounds for a while now. It was initially reported that the couple was going to have a destination wedding in Turkey but Ahad refuted those reports. Sajal and Ahad’s mom had been teasing fans with pictures hinting that wedding preparations were in full swing. However, an official date has still not been revealed.

    The couple, who reportedly met on the sets of their super hit drama Yakeen Ka Safar, had announced their engagement in June 2019.

    The teaser ends with an injured Captain Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) trudging through the trees.

    Directed by Saifee Hassan and written by Mustafa Afridi, Ehd-e-Wafa is centered around the SSG, short for Secret ‘S’ Gang, consisting of Shehryar (Ahmed Ali Akbar), Shariq (Wahaj Ali), Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) and Shahzain (Osman Khalid Butt). The series won the hearts of the audiences because of its heartwarming storyline and great performances by the ensemble cast which also includes Alizeh Shah, Hajra Yamin, Vaneezah Ahmed, Zara Noor Abbas, Faraz Yahya, Syed Muhammad Ahmed and Adnan Samad Khan (Gulzar) among others.

  • Is Karachi cop’s novel coming to Netflix?

    Is Karachi cop’s novel coming to Netflix?

    Omar Shahid Hamid’s best-selling debut novel The Prisoner is coming to Netflix, though it’s unclear whether as a movie or a series.

    In an exclusive interview with The Current, when asked when his novel is being made into a movie, the officer responded, “Its production is underway and it is hoped that a deal will soon be made with Netflix or some streaming service.”

    “And most likely, we’ll start shooting it in summers. So…fingers crossed,” he added.

    Inspired by his experiences in the police service, Omar penned the novel, while on a sabbatical. The book is centred around an American journalist who is kidnapped.

    A brief synopsis of the novel reads: “On an unusually cold December evening in Karachi, American journalist Jon Friedland is kidnapped from one of the city’s poshest neighbourhoods. His captors plan to post a video of his execution on Christmas Day. The kidnapping has come at a bad time, embarrassing the Pakistani government in front of their US allies. The clock is ticking. Will the police and Intelligence Agencies recover Friedman alive?”

    “The story careens through the streets of Karachi, taking the reader into an all too real world of jihadis, corrupt police officers, and bloodthirsty political henchmen – all placed together in a city where no one is quite what they seem.”

    Hamid is also the author of The Spinner’s Tale (2015), The Party Worker (2017), and The Fix (2019).

    Khalil ur Rehman did not offer Sonya Hussyn ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’

    Waseem Badami’s talk show, Har Lamha Purjosh seems to be a birthplace for controversies. Recently, writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar appeared in the show and denied the Sonya Hussain’s claim that she rejected the role of Mehwish in the blockbuster drama serial Meray Pass Tum Ho.

    Speaking on the show, Qamar said, “Even if she had accepted the role, the final ball would have been in my court because no director or producer can finalise the cast on my script without me having the final say. Sonya was never in my books for that role.”

    Khalil ur Rehman also said that Hussyn had not reached the “calibre” to do justice to his script.

    He further said, “When Sonya met me in Lahore, I asked her whether she had refused my script and for what. Sonya had stated that when the role was offered to her, Humayun Saeed hadn’t been cast as the male lead. So I do not know what is the truth.”

    While responding to one of the questions of the host, he also said that the narrative of Rehmat Ajmal being not happy with her role was only because she wanted to develop a repute.”
