Eid ul Azha is not just about qurbani and daawats, it’s also the perfect time to relax with your family and enjoy some quality entertainment. While the grills are being cleaned and clothes are being sorted out, Green Entertainment is here to make your festive days even more exciting with two brand-new Eid telefilms packed with comedy, romance, and drama.

Whether you’re looking for light-hearted fun or a sweet emotional ride, these telefilms have something for everyone. Let’s take a look at what’s coming to your screens this Eid.

Saiyyan Thanedaar 

The first telefilm on the list is Saiyyan Thanedaar starring Sahar Hashmi and Ali Ansari. The story follows Filza, a lively girl who dreams of marrying a police officer. That dream seems to come true when Ramil enters the picture wearing the uniform of her dreams.
But things aren’t as simple as they seem. While Filza falls for Ramil, there’s a twist: even Ramil’s own family doesn’t know he’s a cop. So, is he really in the police, or is he pretending to be a cop just to win her heart?

With light comedy, cute romance, and a little mystery, Saiyyan Thanedaar is a full-on desi entertainer perfect for Eid night viewing.

Written by Khurram Abbas and directed by Kashif Saleem, the film is produced by Tehreem Chaudhary and stars Samina Ahmed and others.

Bechara Dil 

Bechara Dil has Shahzad Sheikh plays Umer, a struggling stand-up comedian, while Aiza Awan plays Gul, a smart and sassy manager determined to help him succeed. Their on-screen chemistry adds the perfect spark to the story.

This telefilm mixes comedy with heartfelt emotions offering not just laughs but also relatable moments. Whether it’s the ups and downs of chasing dreams or the charm of unexpected romance, Bechara Dil gives you all the feels in one fun package.

Written by Adeel Razzaq and directed by Zaid Safdar Sandhu, the film is produced by Tehreem Chaudhry and Irrum Awan. It also features Ismat Zaidi, Dua Waseem, and more.

Parwarish isn’t just about big family scenes or a typical love story, it’s about the silent struggles young people face when trying to follow their own path while staying connected to their roots.

 
It is directed by Syed Meesam Naqvi, written by Kiran Siddiqui and produced by Big Bang production. 

Parwarish follows Wali Jahangir, played by Samar Jafri, a young man who returns to Pakistan from the U.S. and steps into a world full of responsibilities he didn’t choose. His father, Jahangir (Naumaan Ijaz), wants him to become a doctor, while Wali secretly dreams of singing. His mother, Mahnoor (Savera Nadeem), feels unhappy and lost in this shift back to family life.

Living in a joint family adds more pressure. Wali’s cousins Amal (Reham Rafiq) and Sameer (Abul Hasan) bring both warmth and conflict. Things change when Wali meets Maya (Aina Asif), Amal’s friend. At first, they argue a lot, but later, as they study medicine together, they come to understand each other deeply. 

Maya’s story is just as powerful. She wants to become a doctor but agrees to get engaged just to keep her strict father happy. Her fiance (Waleed)  played by Hassaam Khan,  turns out to be overly controlling, adding emotional weight to her journey. Her growing bond with Wali feels natural and heartfelt.  

The drama honestly and carefully shows the gap between parents and children. The drama also focuses on small, touching moments  like the sweet bond between Wali and his grandfather (Arshad Mehmud) or the funny family talks that feel very real. 
 
The acting is impressive across the entire cast. I especially loved the character of Suleiman (Saad Zameer Fareedi) and Sameer (Abdul) both were portrayed  brilliantly.
   

Samar Jafri  handles Wali’s character with truth and depth. Aina Asif is strong as Maya, while Reham Rafiq adds charm as Amal. Seasoned actors like Naumaan Ijaz, Savera Nadeem, Shamim Hilalay and Arshad Mehmud add even more  depth  to the story. 
  

Parwarish is about parenting, pressure, and the power of love and understanding. It doesn’t rely on over-the-top drama. Instead, it wins your heart through emotions, relatable situations, and a story many young people and their parents will see themselves in. Every parent should watch this drama.

Superstar Mahira Khan and veteran actor Humayun Saeed are currently busy promoting their upcoming film Love Guru, which is set to release worldwide including Pakistan, on June 6.

The trailer of Love Guru was released last month, followed by several songs that have been receiving a positive response from fans.

Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed have been on a whirlwind tour promoting the film in the US, UK, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and are now continuing its promotion across Pakistan.

Recently, the duo attended a promotional event where Mahira Khan spoke to the media and made a heartfelt request: “Please pray collectively for the success of the film.”

At the same event, Humayun Saeed showered praise on the film’s director Nadeem Baig, saying, “He is the best director in the country.” He added humorously, “He takes full money from me, but he is the best director.”

Mahira Khan also offered a prayer during the event, saying, “May Love Guru earn more than 100 crores.” She then turned to the audience and requested, “Everyone say Ameen.” She further added, “Now we will pray collectively for the film and everyone will say Insha Allah.”

A video of Mahira Khan’s prayer and her appeal for collective support quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of reactions.

While many appreciated her sincerity, some users criticized the actress, writing that she was “praying for the film’s earnings and success” rather than for more meaningful causes.

TikToker Areeka Haq has faced backlash for her problematic claim that some girls deliberately leak their own inappropriate videos to regain fame and media attention.

She made the shocking statement in a recent interview with Nukta, saying: “Many TikTok girls these days are leaking their inappropriate videos themselves. A while ago, couples on TikTok would make videos together and become famous. But once that trend faded, some girls started leaking videos to stay in the spotlight.”

She further remarked that, “This strategy actually works. These girls get fame again. Earlier, I thought something was happening to them, but now I feel the girls themselves are responsible.”

However, Areeka clarified that not all cases are the same. “Only a small number of girls leak their own videos. Most of the time, girls genuinely suffer,” she said.

Areeka also stressed her own position on the matter, stating, “I didn’t need to do anything just to stay relevant in the media. I’ve never made such videos with any boy.”

Despite making such serious allegations, Areeka did not name anyone. Her remarks come at a time when alleged explicit videos of several TikTokers, including Minahil Malik, Sajal Malik, Samia Hijab, Imsha Rehman, and Aliza Sahar, have surfaced online, sparking widespread conversation around privacy, exploitation, and self-promotion on social media.

Aside from the controversy, Areeka also opened up about her personal struggles as a content creator.

“I started making videos after matriculation, before getting admitted to the eleventh grade. I first made videos on an app called ‘Music Alley’, which later became TikTok,” she shared.

She said her growing popularity attracted criticism both online and offline.

“I was criticised the most after I did a music video with Asim Azhar. People also targeted me when I got into university. The criticism was constant.”

According to Areeka, social media personalities are often treated as public property.

“People feel they can say anything about us. They used inappropriate words too, and all this pushed me into depression,” she revealed.

She credited her recovery to the support of her family, friends, and particularly actress Saba Qamar.

“Saba Qamar took my number from Asim Azhar and called me. She talked to me and helped me come out of depression,” Areeka said.

Actress Aymen Saleem has spoken out against the troubling portrayal of abuse in a recent drama, calling it out for romanticising harmful behaviour in the name of storytelling.

Taking to Instagram, Aymen posted a strong statement criticising the way a female character was shown tied up with ropes by her husband a scene that was framed with romantic music and gestures. Without naming the drama, she expressed her deep concern over how such content is being normalised.

In a powerful Instagram story, she said, “Enough is enough. I’m deeply disturbed by the way a recent drama is portraying abuse  tying up a woman with ropes, showing it in romantic or bold light, and then normalising it as part of a love story.”

She criticised how such scenes are being packaged as entertainment and said this trend is harmful, not harmless fiction. “This isn’t entertainment. It’s dangerous storytelling,” she added.

Aymen pointed out that women in Pakistan already face many struggles within marriage including patriarchy, emotional and physical abuse, and societal pressure. In such a reality, media has a major responsibility.

She wrote that dramas should promote relief, strength, and progress not show harmful acts as expressions of love. “We’ve made strides in showcasing strong, self-aware female leads and breaking generational curses. Why are we slipping back?” she asked.

Calling for change, she urged writers, producers, channels, and especially actors to be mindful about the stories they support and choose.

“This is not just fiction – this shapes culture,” Aymen warned.

She ended by reminding everyone that scenes like these do not reflect love they only make abuse look normal.

Aymen’s statement has sparked conversations across social media, with many supporting her stance and calling for more responsible storytelling in Pakistani television.

Star actress Mahira Khan and controversial writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar have expressed mutual respect in recent podcast interviews, after years of strained relations.

In his recent appearance on The Blue Truth Digital podcast, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar called Mahira his “favourite actress,” while revealing that their differences have officially ended.

“Mahira was, and still is, my favourite actress. That’s why I was upset by her words,” he shared.

“Recently, Mahira said that if she had a problem with me, she should have called and talked to me. When I heard this, I was very sad, because I respected her a lot and she did the same for me,” he said.

He added that if she had directly confronted him, he would have responded with warmth and explanation instead of resentment.

“Even if she had called and scolded me, I would have lovingly told her what the real purpose behind my words was,” he explained.

“When I came to know that Mahira regretted her tweet, I sent her a message that all my quarrels with you are over,” he added.

The feud began in 2020 when Qamar used derogatory language against activist Marvi Sirmed on national television. Mahira publicly condemned his behaviour in a post on X (formerly Twitter), which led to a cold war between the two.

However, on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast in May, Mahira acknowledged that she should have handled the matter privately.

“We were never close friends, but our joint project Sadqay Tumhare was a journey we completed with love and sincerity,” she said.

“Yes, I was wrong. I should have messaged him directly instead of tweeting about it. He is absolutely right.”

Mahira shared that she had been filming Neelofar when she saw news of Qamar’s TV appearance. Reacting emotionally and without checking the full context, she posted a tweet that later spiralled into controversy.

“I just wanted to raise my voice against injustice,” she explained.

Now, with both sides expressing regret and respect, the air between them seems to have cleared.

During the same podcast, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar also reflected on his values and career journey, “I find people who lie to be bad, and also those who differentiate between the rich and the poor. The real poor to me are those with limited means or who earn unlawfully,” he said.

He shared that he began writing at the age of thirteen and faced resistance from his father, who wanted him to pursue a traditional career.

“I didn’t want to write, but I was born a writer. My father beat me many times because he wanted me to become an officer through studying,” he recalled.

He also defended his controversial line “Do Takke Ki Aurat” from the hit drama ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho’: “People criticised it without reason. That dialogue was written for one specific character, not for all women.”

“The actual line was: ‘You were giving me Rs 50 million for this Do Takke Ki Aurat,’ and it was meant only for that particular girl,” Qamar said.

Pakistani artists have expressed deep sorrow and anger over the brutal murder of 17-year-old TikToker Sana Yousuf, calling for strict punishment for the culprit.

The shocking incident, which took place in Islamabad, has left the country in a state of mourning. The tragic fate of a cheerful and lively girl who was just vlogging her life has deeply shaken everyone. Sana Yousuf was shot twice by a man who entered her home and then fled the scene, police have confirmed. 

Following a case filed by Sana’s mother and mounting pressure from social media, police took swift action. The main suspect, Umar Hayat alias Kaka, was arrested from Faisalabad, and the murder weapon was recovered from him along with Sana’s iPhone. 

According to Islamabad Police Chief ____, Umar Hayat is also a TikToker who wanted to befriend Sana. After facing repeated rejections, he shot her to death. 

Many prominent figures from the entertainment industry have reacted strongly to the incident and are demanded justice.

Superstar Mahira Khan shared the news both on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“If we do not punish the murderer, this series will never stop. Let’s bring his face to the fore and make an example of him.”

Mawra Hussain expressed grief and rage on TikTok, diving into the societal roots of the tragedy.

“When our drama industry and films show forced relationships, obsessive love, and even ‘no’ as a romantic gesture, they are actually poisoning young minds,” she said.

“Then when a girl refuses, boys consider it an insult to their ego because we’ve taught them that ‘no’ means ‘yes’.”
She added, “This murder is not just the crime of one individual, but the result of social thinking we’ve cultivated for years. If we don’t stop presenting toxic relationships as love, this series will continue.”

Maya Ali called the murder inhumane and another tragic episode in the name of false honor.

“The heart is broken. An innocent girl who only had the courage to say ‘no’ lost her life. What kind of honor is this that justifies taking someone’s life? My condolences to Sana’s family. Words cannot describe this pain. But regret is not enough—we need justice. Not just for Sana, but for every girl wronged in the name of honor, ego, or coercion.”

She urged the government and law enforcement agencies to make such criminals an example “so no other daughter becomes a victim of such brutality.”

Nimra Khan also shared emotional videos on Instagram, saying, “I usually don’t speak on such incidents, but when I saw Sana’s picture and videos, my soul trembled. Was she killed just because she was an influencer?”

She added, “The misuse of Islam must stop. This religion teaches respect, tolerance, and peace.”

Imran Abbas wrote on Instagram, “The news of the murder of a young girl has shaken my heart. The government must take strict action against such barbaric crimes especially those committed in the name of so-called honor.”

Sajal Aly asked, “A girl just said ‘no’ and was killed. What kind of senseless society are we living in? We must learn to respect others’ boundaries and feelings.”

Dur-e-Fashan Saleem commented, “When a woman says no, many men show their true faces. Their love turns into rage and respect into possession. This incident is a mirror of toxic thinking that teaches men control, not respect.”

Farhan Saeed posted after the arrest, “He must be made an example. I can’t even imagine what Sana’s parents are going through.”

Sidra Niazi wrote, “For how long? Don’t girls have the right to live freely? When will their lives be considered precious?”

Zara Noor Abbas said, “This incident is heartbreaking. It’s painful to think people believe they have the right to take someone’s life. It’s a threat to humanity.”

Asim Azhar wrote, “An innocent girl just refused and lost her life. I request all parents please teach your sons to be better human beings.”

Zubab Rana shared in her Instagram story, “Who is responsible for her death? It breaks my heart to know she is no longer in this world.”
She also tagged Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, demanding justice.

Renowned fashion designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY) has come to the defence of movie stars Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Hania Aamir after they faced criticism for not speaking out more strongly against India during recent tensions. HSY said he knows all three personally and believes they are “true Pakistanis who are even ready to give their lives for the country.”

In a recent interview, HSY addressed the public’s disappointment towards the actors.

When asked about the backlash, he said, “Yes, they didn’t speak the way people wanted them to, but they did speak in their own way.”

He added that people had higher expectations of them because of their status in the industry.

“The public must have thought Fawad, Mahira, and Hania would react strongly against India, which perhaps they didn’t, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t patriotic,” he said.

“According to my understanding, they gave a reaction, but people found it lacking,” he added.

Standing up for his fellow celebrities, he added, “I know all three of them well. The criticism they’re facing is understandable, but I will stand by my fellow actors.”

Talking about Fawad Khan, he stated, “Fawad is a patriotic Pakistani. He speaks less in general, but he has a deep love for the country.”

Praising Mahira, he shared, “Mahira is also a staunch Pakistani. She is ready to die for her country.”

About Hania Aamir, he said, “Hania is new in the industry, but she’s my friend and I know her well. She, too, is a true patriot ready to give her life for Pakistan.”

Fawad and Hania faced backlash for not using strong language against India during heightened tensions. While all three actors condemned the attacks on May 7, their statements were seen as too mild by many.

However, Mahira Khan reportedly gave a strong statement during the Pakistan-India tension, which was appreciated by her fans and supporters.
