Film stars Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed offered fans a charming glimpse into their thoughts on love, gifts, and relationships during a YouTube interview promoting their upcoming romantic comedy Love Guru.

Humayun Saeed shared that he doesn’t want anything material from his wife, just her “permission and consent.” His unexpected answer even left Mahira Khan surprised.

“I just want her to say, ‘Go, do whatever you want, wander around, and then come back home,’” he elaborated.

When Mahira was asked, “What gift do you want in a relationship?” she smiled and said, “I like small things as gifts,” adding that bangles are something she truly appreciates.

On the topic of love and green signals in relationships, Humayun Saeed added, “Belief is a green signal.”

Mahira praised his answer, saying, “He’s very smart. He gave both answers very intelligently.”

She noted, “First he said that his wife should allow him to do anything, and then he said belief matters, which means he wants his wife to trust him even after giving him permission.”

The video clip quickly went viral on social media.

Actress Sonya Hussaiyn has finally clarified rumours about her career, saying she “has not quit acting” and “does not intend to,” but has simply reduced her workload for now.

A few days ago, Sonya stirred conversation during an interview when she said that if her future husband doesn’t allow her to work in showbiz after marriage, she would consider leaving acting. She also mentioned that since she is now moving into production, she “doesn’t plan to act for too long.”

Following that interview, speculation spread across social media suggesting that Soniya had decided to leave acting altogether. Addressing the rumours, the actress has now set the record straight.

In a recent interview with a social media influencer, she explained, “I haven’t left acting, and I don’t intend to. I’ve just reduced it for now.”

Sonya also spoke about the difference between acting and producing, stating, “Production is a better and more meaningful kind of work.”

She also discussed her upcoming horror film Deemak, revealing that the film has been handled with care because “almost the entire team consists of senior professionals.”

Addressing rumours about her role in the film, she clarified, “I’m not playing a witch, but yes, my character does have some negative shades.”

Responding again to the question of quitting acting, Sonya reiterated, “Since I’ve stepped into production, I’ve cut down on acting for a while, but I haven’t said goodbye to it.”

The hit Pakistani drama Mann Mast Malang, a tale of love, revenge, and feuding families, has found itself at the center of a social media storm after a recent episode featured an intense romantic scene many viewers called “inappropriate” and “offensive.”

Written by Tere Bin writer Nooran Makhdoom and directed by Ali Faizan, the drama stars Danish Taimoor as Kabir Khan and Sahar Hashmi as Riya Asghar Ali. 

The story follows two rival families torn apart after Kabir accidentally kills Riya’s mother sparking a complex emotional and romantic entanglement between the two leads.

While the drama has maintained popularity across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal for its gripping storyline and strong performances, its recent episode drew backlash for a scene that many felt crossed the line of decency. Kabir forcefully grabs Riya and pulls her into a passionate dance sequence, which was meant to portray emotional intensity but instead left many viewers disturbed.

Shortly after the episode aired, X (formerly Twitter) filled up with reactions both critical and humorous. One viral post sarcastically labeled the scene, “Fifty Shades of Gluta Taimoor (Pakistani version).”

Another user wrote, “Every clip of Danish Taimoor I’ve seen today has been against my will.”

Critics accused the show of glamorizing harassment and pushing the boundaries of acceptable content on mainstream Pakistani TV.

“It’s quite sad to see that Pakistani dramas, once celebrated for their subtle romance, are now borrowing indecency from Indian content.”

“Harassment is being normalized in Pakistani dramas.”

Others expressed broader concerns about the impact of such portrayals on audiences, with one comment reading, “These vulgar dramas have destroyed the innocent minds of people.”

Others took aim at Danish Taimoor himself, with fans pointing out a contradiction between his real-life image and the kind of scenes he’s now portraying on screen.

Further controversy erupted after another scene showed Kabir handcuffing Riya to a bed to stop her from leaving. This moment quickly went viral and divided the internet.

Some called it “cringeworthy” and “overdramatic,” while others defended the scene by pointing out how audiences often accept similar scenes in Western or Indian content without backlash.

“Drama is too good. The story, the script, and the performance are perfect, but being this physical is making me hate it.”

“Lately, Pakistani dramas are turning into short-reel dramas we scroll past in our feeds.”

Mann Mast Malang has aired 41 episodes so far and continues to receive both praise and criticism. While many fans appreciate the chemistry between Danish Taimoor and Sahar Hashmi, a growing number are calling for greater cultural sensitivity in how romantic or intimate scenes are portrayed.

Some fans are urging production houses to remember the cultural context and audience expectations, asking, “Are ratings more important than values?”

Angeline Malik has been undergoing chemotherapy following surgery.

On May 28, she posted a short video on Instagram, in which she can be seen lying in a hospital bed.

In the images shown in the video, Angeline appears physically weak, but her strong will and determination are clearly visible.

She shared, “Six chemotherapies have been completed and my morale is still high.”

Angeline wrote, “Going through chemotherapy is no joke. This treatment is very painful, but I am determined to defeat the disease and am hopeful to return to life.”

She added, “One day, one breath, and one heartbeat this is the strength for me.”

After the video was posted, several showbiz personalities commented on her post, sending prayers and encouragement.

Former actress Noor Bukhari also offered spiritual advice, commenting, “Listen to Surah Rehman three times a day for seven days during the treatment. Surah Rehman therapy is a miracle even patients in the last stage of cancer have recovered from it.”

Fans and social media users also flooded the comments with prayers, saying, ‘Best of luck, Angeline. Wishing you a complete recovery, InshaAllah.’

UNICEF has launched a powerful new video campaign with renowned actress and National Ambassador for Child Rights, Saba Qamar, to raise awareness about child marriage in Pakistan.

In the video, Saba Qamar urges communities to speak out and take action. She talks about the dangers young girls face when forced into marriage including poor health, lack of education, and lost opportunities.

“Why should any child in Pakistan be forced into a marriage they didn’t choose,” she asks in the video. “I met a brave girl named Anam Nazir, only 14, who stopped three child marriages in her area. That’s the kind of change we need.”

Pakistan has the sixth highest number of child brides in the world, with nearly 19 million girls married before turning 18. Most drop out of school, and many face serious health risks from early pregnancy.

Unicef’s representative in Pakistan, Abdullah Fadil, said that child marriage often comes from poverty and harmful traditions. “We need stronger laws, more support for girls, and cultural change,” he added. “How can Pakistan move forward when half our children are left behind?”

Unicef praised the recent decision in Islamabad to raise the legal age of marriage to 18 and urged other provinces to do the same. The campaign is part of a larger effort with UN partners to protect children and support youth leaders across the country.

“Saba Qamar is a powerful voice for change,” Fadil said. “Together, we want every child  especially every girl to grow up safe, educated, and free to choose their future.”
