    Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy collaborates with Kamal Khan for series on the Partition

    Oscar-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy’s production house SOC Films has launched a new series HOME1947 based on the Partition.

    According to a press release, the HOME1947 Series is a deeply personal exploration of the lives and stories of the millions that were displaced in 1947 during the creation of two new independent states, India and Pakistan.

    “HOME1947 is a series of 7 short films conceptualised and produced by SOC Films, which recreate the long-lost sights and sounds of what millions once called home and explores this world not through the words of historians and politicians, but through the eyes of those who lived through it,” read the official press release.

    The series kickstarted with the release of a short-film titled Beila, directed by the critically acclaimed and award winning director Kamal Khan of Laal Kabootar fame.

    Beila chronicles the journey of a mother singing her baby to sleep on a crowded train in the chaos of 1947 heading towards an unfamiliar destination. The short film starres Faiza Gillani in the lead, who reportedly sang the song live on set in a one take performance.

    The HOME1947 Series first premiered as part of the HOME1947 Exhibition at the Manchester International Festival in the UK followed by exhibitions in Mumbai, Lahore and Karachi. It has been co-commissioned by the British Council in Pakistan in collaboration with the Manchester International Festival and Super Slow Way.

  • Sheheryar Munawar visits Nankana Sahib with ‘brother from another mother’

    Sheheryar Munawar visits Nankana Sahib with ‘brother from another mother’

    The historic opening of the Kartarpur Corridor has thrusted Pakistan’s Sikh heritage and culture into the spotlight, as a result of which, more and more people are attracted towards these places.

    Sheheryar Munawar recently took a trip to Nankana Sahib, one of the Sikh religion’s holiest sites, and he was blown away with the experience.

    Taking to Instagram, Sheheryar shared a few photos from his trip and wrote, “My brother from another mother, Karan Singh is visiting us from London and wanted to pay his respects at Nankana Sahib.”

    Sheheryar shared that he left early morning from Lahore for Nankana where he and his friends were “welcomed with such warmth by the management there.” He said that they spent about two hours there “soaking in the beauty, spirituality, and history of this magnificent place.”

    Concluding his experience, Sheheryar said that he felt very content with his visit.

    “In a region where we have seen extreme polarisation of ideologies and the use of “hate” as a political tool, it is very reassuring to know that my country and her people are one that appreciate and cherish diversity. Just as we stepped out of the premises, in that very moment, my heart was as content as the smile on my brother Karan’s face.”

  • Hum jaisi auretein apney aap par qeemat nahi lagati: Mahira Khan lashes out

    Mahira Khan rarely loses her cool. But after a Twitter user slut-shamed her, Mahira hit back with a hard response.

    It all started when Mahira tweeted about, what we’re assuming is, the Musharraf verdict.

    Replying to Mahira’s tweet, a Twitter user reverted to name-calling the actor and demeaning her.

    https://twitter.com/MomalFayax/status/1207643435248828418?s=20

    In response, Mahira hit back at the user with a savage tweet.

    Whether you agree or disgree with someone’s ideas, thoughts or profession, no one gives you the right to abuse or belittle someone. About time we understand that.

  • Hamza Ali Abbasi takes his words back about not accusing judges of being anti-Army

    Hamza Ali Abbasi takes his words back about not accusing judges of being anti-Army

    Ever since a special court on Tuesday awarded death penalty to former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf for high treason, there is pretty much nothing else anyone can talk about.

    Hamza Ali Abbasi, who is one of Pakistan’s most vocal actors, has been tweeting furiously on the matter. Earlier in the day Hamza had requested people who support Musharraf to express their views without accusing judges of being anti-Army or pro-Nawaz Sharif.

    However, after the special court issued its detailed verdict, an excerpt of it went viral on social media, Hamza remarked that he takes his “words back about not accusing judges of being anti-Army or anti-Pakistan.”

    “We direct the Law Enforcement Agencies to strive their level best to apprehend the fugitive/convict [Musharraf] and to ensure that the punishment is inflicted as per law and if found dead, his corpse be dragged to the D-Chowk, Islamabad and hanged for three days,” read the excerpt.

    Earlier, he had tweeted that PML-N and others need to apologise for their allegations on the judiciary, during the cases against the Sharifs.

    He also added that the courts should apply the same procedure to Ishaq Dar others who are not present in the country.

  • Hamza Ali Abbasi to make Islamic videos

    Hamza Ali Abbasi to make Islamic videos

    Ever since he announced that he will be quitting acting to focus on his spiritual journey, we’ve not seen or heard from Hamza Ali Abbasi – which is strange because the actor usually has plenty to say on practically every topic.

    In case you’re wondering where he currently and what is he upto, we have an answer straight from the actor.

    In a Twitter conversation, when a user asked Hamza why he is inactive on Twitter these days, the actor shared that he was “studying Islam to make some very important Youtube videos.”

    Previously, Humayun Saeed in an interview had revealed that Hamza will be directing a film based on the topic of patriotism and nationalism.

    “I have planned a film on the subject of nationalism which will be directed by Hamza. Everything is almost done except deciding the name of project,” Humayun had said.

    ‘The End’: Sabeeka Imam opens up on her relationship with Hasnain Lehri

    Supermodels Hasnain Lehri and Sabeeka Imam have been in a low-key relationship for a while now. While they’ve mostly kept their quiet on their relationship, a few months ago there were speculations that the two have called it quits. However, there was no official confirmation from the two.

    Sabeeka has now revealed that she and Hasnain have parted ways due to “irreconcilable differences.”

    In an Instagram post, Sabeeka wrote, “And so this journey officially comes to an end. It has been a long time since we both realised that our paths are destined to be separate. After multiple attempts and much consideration we have called it quits.”

    Writing further, she said, “I am sharing this on social media because I’m tired of answering questions about my status and going through interrogations about why. I’m tired of people’s opinions and involvement. I’m tired of pretending that things are ok so that I can keep a facade going. I’m tired of people assuming that I’m engaged or getting married.”

    Sabeeka shared that “there was a proposal but unfortunately it did not materialise due to irreconcilable differences.”

    In the end she requested her fans and followers to “just let this difficult time pass as our friends and families are involved and I don’t want them to go through any further pain or disappointment.”

    Sabeeka and Hasnain have often walked the ramp and done multiple shoots together – the latest being one for Saira Shakira.

  • ‘A son of the soil’: Mehwish Hayat, Shaan respond to Musharraf verdict

    Former military dictator General (r) Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday was handed death sentence in the high treason case against him.

    According to reports, the court, in its short order, said that it analysed complaints, records, arguments and facts in the case for three months, adding that it found Musharraf guilty of high treason according to Article 6 of the constitution.

    While everyone including members of the media, civil society and politicians had thoughts to share on the matter, people were very curious to know what Mehwish Hayat has to say on the matter given that she had earlier tweeted in favour of Musharraf and was brutally trolled for it.

    Here’s what Mehwish had to say on the verdict.

    Meanwhile, here’s what she had tweeted earlier:

    Other celebrities who shared their thoughts on the matter included Shaan and Hamza Ali Abbasi.

    Elan’s creative director Khadija Shah also expressed her disappointment on the court’s verdict.
