    ‘Hello Pakistan’ says Karan Johar as he runs into Sarwat and Fahad

    Power couple Fahad Mirza and Sarwat Gilani, who have quite literally stirred up a storm as they vacationed in Italy, ran into Bollywood powerhouse Karan Johar at Doha International Airport on their way back to Pakistan.

    That of course, called for a selfie moment.

    Just wondering, who has the best pout out of the three? We can safely say that Fahad is definitely giving Karan a run for his money.

    Interestingly, Sarwat has turned the comments on this post off.

    Fahad even recorded a video of himself and Sarwat with Karan in which the filmmaker says “Hello to everyone in Pakistan.”

    Meanwhile, Sarwat and Fahad’s PDA in Rome set the internet on fire. The two shared a picture of themselves kissing in front of the Fontana Di Trevi-Roma.

    Noor reportedly remarries ex-husband, PTI-leader Awn Chaudhry

    Veteran actor Noor Bukhari has reportedly remarried her ex-husband and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Awn Chaudhry. While the couple has not yet confirmed the reports, Noor left a cryptic message in a social media post in which she referred to Awn as her “hero”. Chaudhry was Noor’s third husband.

    Meanwhile, PTI MNA Aamir Liaqat also endorsed the reports by congratulating the couple on social media. He also revealed that Noor remarried Awn for the sake of their daughter. Aamir referred to Noor as a “great lady” for taking this decision.

    If the reports are correct, this will be Noor’s fifth marriage. The former film star, who bid goodbye to the entertainment industry two years ago, first tied the knot in 2008 to a businessman named Vikram. The two divorced two years later.

    The 37-year-old then married director-producer Farooq Mengal in 2010. However, that marriage also lasted less than a year and two parted ways.

    In 2012, Noor tied the knot with Awn Chaudhry. The couple have a daughter together though the marriage lasted only a few months.

    Noor then married Wali Hamid Khan in 2015 but that marriage also ended due to domestic disputes even though Khan had said that he found his soulmate in Noor. In September 2017, Noor took khula from Wali through the court.

    In late 2019, speculations were rife that the actor has gotten married for the fifth time but Noor shut down the rumours and asked people to stop believing in fake stories.

    ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’ has ended but the drama hasn’t

    The grand finale of Meray Paas Tum Ho has finally aired putting to rest all speculations over who will die and what will finally happen of Mehwish. While the drama was a phenomenal success, it did stir up controversy with its problematic dialogues and comments by the writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar in his various interviews. The writer was accused of being misogynist and anti-women.

    A few days before the finale, upcoming actor, Rehmat Ajmal, who plays Danish (Humayun Saeed) and Mehwish’s (Ayeza Khan) friend Aisha in the drama, said that she is “not proud to be part of something that is so compromising and ill-informed”.

    Taking to Instagram, she wrote the message on her public account, saying that she watched Qamar’s interview and “got to know about his problematic views on very many things WAY after the project was completed” and that “I absolutely do not endorse the concepts and viewpoints of Mr Khalil Ul Rehman”.

    Following Rehmat’s decision to distance herself from the show, Musaddiq Malik, who is the Associate Director of the play, and also plays Monty in the drama lashed out at Rehmat for “pulling a publicity stunt”.

    He explained that “no actors were ill-informed about the play” and everyone “knew everything that they are signing up for”. He added that he was hurt by Rehmat’s comments as “a friend and it has got nothing to do with anyone of you nor does anyone have the right to say bad stuff about her”.

  • ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’ memes light up audiences after a dull finale

    ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’ memes light up audiences after a dull finale

    If there is one thing Pakistanis are an expert at, it has to be memes. While the finale of the blockbuster Meray Paas Tum Ho left audiences wanting more, the memes that came after it is what we are living for.

    Here are some of our favourite memes:

    The writer of the drama, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar was brutally trolled for killing Danish.

    There were plenty of ‘Bhutto Zinda Hai’ memes.

    People couldn’t help but quote Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    Or bring in former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

    Danish’s death even made it to the headlines.

    Umar Akmal’s rendition of the title song of the drama was also brought in.

    Danish’s death even caught the attention of US President Donald Trump.

    Some people made fun of those who watched the finale in cinemas.

    And then there were those who marked themselves safe from the drama serial.

  • What was that? The Finale of Meray Paas Tum Ho

    What was that? The Finale of Meray Paas Tum Ho

    Here we were thinking Meray Paas Tum Ho reflected the reality of our society, cheating, divorce, attempted suicide and forgiveness but it turned out to be an unbelievably bad episode of a cheap rate soap opera.

    Doctors should protest the incredibly bad portrayal of them in this drama. Which doctor and hospital in their right mind allows children in intensive care units? And that isn’t even the worst of it. Which doctor says ‘okay’ when a patient suffering a heart attack says , “I’m fine doctor” let me take my mask off and speak to my child as my heart flatlines. Ajeeb ending with the only goal being to make Danish (Humayun Saeed) into such a big martyr that koyi shaqh hi na ho that he could not live if he couldn’t be with Mehwish (Ayeza Khan). And apologies to Humayun Saeed. The man is a stellar actor but he cannot act in a death scene. His dying routine was so so bad that no wonder Mehwish didn’t come to help him. Who could believe a man could die like that?

    Sweet isnt it? The scene where Danish is dying and Mehwish is crying and it seems like dekho isko chor nahi sakta is liye isko marna hoga. Even if you are a hater on the acting (like us) the scene was moving because it reminded us of Danish’s bad times (when he was a good actor) and how much we truly felt his pain.

    The most infuriating part of the finale was, that in true Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar style, Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) delivers one of the most sexist and misogynistic dialogues of the whole series. “Aisi aurat ko mard barbad nahi karta, uske andar uska apna ghar tornay ki himmat bardbad karti hai. Aisi auratein yeh nahi dekhtein keh unko kya mila hai, woh yeh dekhti hain kay doosron ko kya mil gaya hai. Andhi hotein hai aisi auratein….lske liye kisi ka Shehwar Ahmed hona zaroori nahi hai.”

    WTH.

    Like seriously, this is a bit TOO much. The guy who started it all, the snake Shehwar gets a clean chit, with his wife wanting him back and he walks away with dignity and respect, putting all the sick blame on Mehwish. Not on. At all.

    Rumour has it, three endings were recorded for this drama and we really wish they had picked another one. the 15-20 minute recap was highly unnecessary as was the long-winded conversation between Rumi and Danish. For once, we would’ve liked a drama that ended with the man forgiving the woman but with biased writers and actors that oblige, that seems far from coming true.

    Mansha Pasha defends ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’

    As Meray Paas Tum Ho inches closer to the finish line, the hype surrounding it is increasing. While some love the show, others are criticising it for being misogynistic and sexist. Nonetheless, everyone agrees with the fact that the show is one of the biggest hits of recent times.

    Mansha Pasha, in a tweet, congratulated the entire team of the drama for its success adding that “one may disagree with personal opinions but no one can deny the success and the talent of everyone involved”.

    Soon after, the actor started getting trolled for supporting it. However, Pasha had strong responses to all the criticism.

    Using Game of Thrones, Hannibal and You as examples, Mansha explained that a drama should be seen as entertainment and people should not take it seriously or get influenced from it.

    When someone brought in Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s problematic statements, Mansha remarked that “a writer’s personal opinions should not be confused with his work.”

    Did you know that Mansha has also acted in a drama written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar?

    At the end of it all, Mansha thanked her fans for engaging with her and sharing their perspective on the matter.
