  • Taher Shah reveals the first look of his new song

    Taher Shah reveals the first look of his new song

    Taher Shah is all set to make a comeback with First Look.

    After teasing his fans and followers in December with ‘Coming soon’, Shah took to social media to reveal the release date of his new music video.

    Shah shared an image that seems like a top shot from his music video, the picture shows roses arranged in a heart shape with something in the middle. He captioned the picture ‘#FirstLook’ leaving us confused with whether that is the name of the song or the first look of it.

    Shah had returned to social media in December after a break of almost two years. His last tweet, dated to February 2017, had shared that Shah’s song Angel had won an APEX Award, which is a short film and music video festival held in the United States.

    Taher Shah became a social media sensation in 2013 after his song Eye to Eye, which he took 20 years to write, went viral. It became so popular that even Ranveer Singh did a rendition of it.

    Following that, in 2016, Taher released his second music video Mankind’s Angel. While it did not have the same effect as Eye to Eye, it still managed to stir up a social media frenzy.

    In December 2016, it was reported that Taher had left Pakistan after receiving death threats. But it looks like after years of staying low, the singer is returning with a bang.

    As the weather warms up, the Pakistani films are also rolling. A few days after the teaser of Farhan Saeed and Urwa Hocane’s Tich Button dropped, Shamoon Abbasi and Ayesha Omar’s Dhaai Chaal based on Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadav and his activities in Balochistan was shared on social media.

    The producer of the film Dr Irfan Ashraf shared the trailer on Twitter and said that his film was a response to Shah Rukh Khan’s Netflix venture: Bard of Blood.

    In an interview, the film’s lead Shamoon Abbasi while talking about the plot had shared that “the film is based on the time when Jadhav was active in the region of Balochistan and was appointed to sabotage the billion dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.”

    While a release date has not yet been mentioned, the film directed by Taimoor Sherazi and written by Faiza Choudhry is expected to release sometime later this year. It is being made in collaboration with the Frontier Corps.

    Earlier, the Abbasi also shared a BTS video from the making of the film.

    Heartthrob Feroze Khan left fans and followers in a frenzy after he suddenly disappeared from Instagram. Apart from an Instagram story on wife Alizey Feroze’s account, there was radio silence from the actor on the matter. The move was unexpected given the teaser of his upcoming film Tich Button dropped on Saturday and his latest drama serial Ishqiya’s first episode aired last Monday.

    According to Alizey’s Instagram story, Feroze is embarking on a spiritual journey and his sister Dua Malick confirmed the news telling a local media outlet that Feroze is spending time away from social media at the moment to connect with his faith, adding that Feroze doesn’t really care about social media.

However, this is not the first time that the actor has deactivated his Instagram account. Feroze has deactivated his account on various occasions only to come back later.

    It is pertinent to mention here that Feroze’s Twitter account is still active, though there is no activity on it.

  • Nazish Jahangir opens up on her struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder

    Nazish Jahangir opens up on her struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder

    Nazish Jahangir, who is currently popular as Shameela bhabhi in Geo’s Kahin Deep Jalay recently opened up about her battle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    In an elaborate post on social media, the actor talked about being a victim of PTSD for the past ten years and explained to her followers what exactly it is.

    “Many people are unaware that untreated post-traumatic stress disorder can have a devastating effect on those who have the condition and their loved ones. It not only affects relationships with your family, friends and others, it can trigger serious emotional problems and even cause health problems over time,” Nazish wrote.

    She concluded her note writing, “There isn’t a formula that you can insert yourself into to get from horror to healed. Be patient. Take up space. Let your journey be the balm,” adding that she offers prayers regularly.

    Born and raised in Islamabad, Nazish began her career in 2015 when she took part in a play by Anwar Maqsood. However, it was not until 2017 that she made her television debut with the drama serial Bharosa. Following that, Nazish was part of several popular dramas including Alif Allah Aur Insaan, Tohmat and Kamzarf.

    Nazish was also recently embroiled in controversy after Mohsin Abbas Haider’s former wife Fatema Sohail accused her of having an affair with her husband. Mohsin and Nazish both had refuted the allegations then. Later, it was also rumoured that the two were tying the knot – however, they rejected those reports also.

    Addressing these rumours and allegations, Nazish in a recent interview had said, “I was friends with both Mohsin and his wife Fatema and I knew the truth but stayed stay quiet out of respect for Mohsin.”

    “I don’t think social media is the place where we openly and publicly discuss our personal matters and get the whole nation involved in trivial matters,” she said, adding, “It is below my dignity. I am totally against domestic violence but I will always stand by real victims and not those who have an ulterior motive.”

    Meanwhile, Nazish is also set to make her big-screen debut this year with Lafangay alongside Sami Khan, Mani and Saleem Mairaj.

  • ‘Ehd-e-Wafa’s latest episode comes with a bucketful of tears

    ‘Ehd-e-Wafa’s latest episode comes with a bucketful of tears

    Ehd-e-Wafa promised to be an emotional rollercoaster but truth be told, I was not prepared to shed a few tears while watching it. The 21st episode of the drama serial aired last Sunday and though it was a bit of a drag and completely disconnected from the last scene of the previous episode (the last episode ended in Waziristan and this one began in Pindi on a happy note), two emotional scenes – Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) and Shahzain’s (Osman Khalid Butt) reunion and Shehryar’s (Ahmed Ali Akbar) effort to help Khursheed (Muhammad Hunbal) – made the entire episode worth a watch.

    All four members of the SSG (Special ‘S’ Gang) have settled into their respective lives. Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) is now Captain Saad, while Malik Shahzain (Osman Khalid Butt) is a well-known politician. Shehryar (Ahmed Ali Akbar) cleared his CSS exams and is currently serving as an Assistant Commissioner, while Shariq (Wahaj Ali) is an established journalist.

    Shehryar, who is serving as the Assistant Commissioner, comes across his old teacher Firdous Baig, whose son, Khursheed was his class fellow at Lawrence College. In a tear-jerking scene, it is revealed that Khursheed was put behind bars by some powerful land mafia over a dispute. Sheheryar uses his power to release Khursheed from jail and when the two meet and Khursheed throws himself in his friend’s arms. This scene was brilliantly executed and pulls at your heartstrings, leaving you misty-eyed.

    On the other hand, Saad is about to get married to the love of his life, Dua when he happens to run into Shahzain. After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Saad pulls down the barriers between the two and they have an endearing conversation in which they bury their hatchet and promise to start their relationship afresh. If you’ve ever reconnected with an old friend after a long time, you’d feel the scene.

    But everything aside, this episode was without a doubt Ahmed Ali Akbar’s, who owned every scene of his. Ahmed played Shehryar with utmost ease and slipped into the many layers of his character without a hiccup. It was an absolute treat to watch him.

    And we’re not the only ones who thought this episode was an emotional roller coaster. Osman Khalid Butt also felt sentimental after watching this episode.

    Directed by Saifee Hassan, Ehd-e-Wafa is a joint collaboration between ISPR and Hum TV. In the stream of dramas which are either tackling serious topics such as rape (Ruswai) or are the usual masala fest (Jhooti/Kaheen Deep Jalay), Ehd-e-Wafa is a great entertainer and something you can enjoy watching with your family. It airs every Sunday at 8pm.
