The entertainment industry is a notoriously cutthroat place and actress Mariyam Nafees agrees.

Appearing as a guest on Gup Shap hosted by Vasay Chaudhry, she discussed how she navigates relationships in the entertainment industry. 

Rabbania Shirjeel asked, “Mariyam you are quite vocal about social issues, so how do you navigate within the industry?”

 Maryiam replied, “I try not to get into it too much. I say, ‘you do your thing, let me do mine.’ I’ve learned that no one is truly your friend here. The few friends I have in the industry were already my friends from before.”

 Speaking about the trend of social media best friends forever (BFF), Jaan – e Jahan actress emphasized, “They’re mostly just for show. Real friendship is something very deep, and not everyone you work with or post pictures with is truly a friend. Most people are just colleagues or acquaintances. I have a very small circle of genuine friends who have stayed consistent through everything, and they mean a lot to me.”

When it comes to her professional life, the Yaqeen Ka Safar actress stays focused on her work.

“When it comes to navigating projects or scripts, I just focus on doing my part for those 12 hours on set. Thankfully, we now have writers, directors, and producers who are willing to listen. If there’s something in a script that doesn’t align with what I want to portray, we discuss it and usually find a middle ground,”  Maryiam Nafees explained.

Earlier, actress Maryiam Nafees fearlessly expressed her opinions on various matters during an interview, be it politics, social issues, or her industry.

Appearing as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s show ‘Mind Na Karna’, Mariyam was asked about having more than one spouse, as cricketer Shoaib Malik’s marriage came up in the discussion.

She said, “I respect that Islam allows men to have up to four marriages, but our religion also says men can’t treat their wives equally. I think very few women can accept their husbands marrying again.”

Nafees said that if her husband wants to marry again, she won’t object, but will instead ask for a divorce. “If someone isn’t happy in their marriage, they should end it and marry again, whether it’s the second or third time. But I want to emphasize that it’s tough for men to treat multiple wives equally, as our religion states.”

Babar Junaid Jamshed, son of the late Junaid Jamshed, has spoken on record about his father’s marriages for the first time.

Babar participated as a guest in a podcast.

While answering a question, he revealed that his father, the late Junaid Jamshed, had a total of three marriages.

Babar said, “According to my information, apart from my mother, he had two other wives, one of whom died in the plane crash with my father. Apart from my mother, he had no children from the other two wives; we are only four siblings.”

He said, “I remember that once he asked me that people say your father has had multiple marriages, but tell me if I have ever done injustice to your mother or you people? To which I replied no, Baba, you have fulfilled all your responsibilities and have given us a lot of love. He was satisfied after hearing this.”

Junaid Jamshed died in a plane crash on December 7, 2016.

At the peak of his career, Junaid Jamshed gave up singing and music to embark on the path of preaching.

His last journey was also for the propagation of religion, and he spent the last days of his life in Chitral preaching Islam and inviting people to come towards the true light.

Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently attended the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she delivered an emotional speech on women’s empowerment.

The event’s official Instagram page shared a video showing the actress on stage, with her name displayed behind her: “Aishwarya Rai, International Star,” omitting the surname Bachchan.

This led to a flurry of social media reactions, with many users speculating that Aishwarya had officially removed Bachchan from her name. 

However, a fact-check by News18 confirmed that Aishwarya’s full name remains unchanged on her verified Instagram profile, where she is still listed as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Some social media users suggested that the exclusion of Bachchan was a professional choice rather than a personal one, emphasizing Aishwarya’s identity.

 The speculation comes amid ongoing rumors about Aishwarya and her husband Abhishek Bachchan’s alleged separation. 

Adding to the buzz, Aishwarya recently shared photos of their daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday party, which notably did not feature Abhishek.
