Atif Aslam took to social media to announce the arrival of his baby boy with the caption ‘Ladies and gentlemen our new arrival Alhamdulilah. Both mother and baby are fine. Keep us in your prayers and don’t forget to say Mashallah’.
Atif was thankful to God so he wrote Alhumdulilah. But someone who works in an Indian tabloid surely did not know what the term means.

However, the writer accepted the mistake and also corrected it.
In retrospect, this is the silliest and one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. But as soon as we realised, we made the change. Too late though. But I learnt two things: 1. Be very careful on the web 2. Alhamdulilah cannot be a name
Desi Martini also posted an apology for the mistake.
An error in our copy on #AtifAslam claiming the name of his child wrong has been fixed. We sincerely apologise for the error and any misunderstanding or misinterpretation it may have caused.

Meanwhile, some people were concerned over whether Jibran is Sindhi or not
Ouch. Danish is still hurting but he’s definitely not going to take Mehwish back. That phone call between the two makes it evidently clear. Or does it?
The episode starts with Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) trying to get her friends to help her out but they are initially averse to the idea of doing so because she has committed the ultimate sin – betraying their friend. She goes to meet Hania (Hira Mani) trying to get help from her, and also trying to figure out what Hania’s relationship is with Danish (Humayun Saeed) and Mehwish’s son Rumi. It is obvious that Mehwish’s main goal is now to get back with Danish and she tries her best to talk to the people who know him to find out where his head is at, before she calls him herself.
Hania also feels for Mehwish as Mehwish tells her about what’s happened
The phone call is painful. Humayun Saeed is such a perfect actor that you can actually feel the pain in his voice as he tells his ex-wife how much he used to miss her. And how they can never get back together.
Danish, stone-faced as he listens to Mehwish on the phone
But the phone call that makes everyone’s heart tug is the one between Mehwish and her son Rumi. He couldn’t sleep without her and one feels so strongly for the child, and also despises Mehwish in that moment; not for following what she wanted and leaving Danish, but for not considering her child’s feelings as well. She tries to make amends with him and as any child, Rumi also cannot help but become warm with Mehwish – she is after all his mother. But when he tells her how his father used to miss her by calling her name, forgetting she wasn’t there, in that moment, you cannot help but feel that Mehwish never deserves redemption. As she cries, you become conflicted. People make mistakes.
Rumi tells his mother how his father reacted after she left him
But as Danish explains to his son later, it wasn’t a mistake. It was a sin. And therefore, cannot be redeemed. He does tell his friend that he’s forgiven her, “Kehdo uska maaf kar dia,” Danish tells his friend, “Khuda ki qasm maaf kar dia,” but as he talks to Rumi he is a little more honest, saying, “jis din mai usko bhool jaonga tou mil jaye gi usko maafi”
Rumi and Danish share a heartfelt conversation, showing they’re a team
It’s an emotional episode because you see Danish struggle. He still loves her and it’s quite possible he always will. And he knows that just one word, and he can have her back. Possibly, more in love with him than he was with her. Her life has turned upside down. She’s gotten a job and is living in a women’s hostel. Right now, Danish has everything that she wants. She just doesn’t have Danish.
Mehwish, trying to atone for her sins, goes to a mazar
Do you feel for her? Yes, you do and Ayeza Khan does an absolutely fantastic job as the arrogant woman who thwarts love and then realizes the incredibly huge mistake she’s made. The acting is what does it. There’s no way you cannot feel, even a little, for her. Her fall from ‘greatness’ is that big. And you wonder that if the tables had turned and this was a husband who had cheated, the wife would most likely take him back.There are many Pakistani dramas that already have that ‘happy ending’. So when she goes to a mazar, remembers her husband who was good and loving, she tries to atone for her sins. And maybe, she can have it. Everyone sins, everyone makes mistakes. Just because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean she doesn’t get a second chance.
Hania’s expression when Danish says he wants to marry her
But according to the teaser for the next episode, it does. Danish is seen asking Hania to marry him, or rather asking someone else in front of Hania, if Hania will marry him. Mehwish ends up in the hospital and he rushes to find out what’s happened. Love is unfortunately love. It doesn’t die, even if you’re side-lined, betrayed or even when you come back.
It’s Mahira Khan’s birthday. The actor who turned 35 on December 21 is without a doubt one of Pakistan’s biggest stars and she’s had a stellar year – her film Superstar is the highest-grossing Pakistani film of the year, she walked the ramp at the Paris Fashion Week and she has been appointed a Goodwill ambassador for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
But did she know that she was going to be a superstar? In an interview with The Current, Mahira said that she never thought she would reach so high but she always wanted to be an actor even though she was a very shy person in school.
“I was in my own little world at that time,” said Mahira when told that the boys in school used to ask their female friends to become friends with her so that they could hang out with her [Mahira].
Mahira further revealed that she was a backbencher in school. When asked the best thing about being a backbencher, Mahira replied, “I had my best friend in class with me. The both of us used to chatter all day long. And I hardly attended [classes] that year in school.”
Watch the complete interview here:
Born in Karachi, Mahira started her career as a VJ in 2006. She made her screen debut opposite Atif Aslam in Bol (2011) and over the years climbed the ladder of success to become one of Pakistan’s biggest stars.
