  • ‘Marriage is very important but not the end game’: Sajal Aly

    ‘Marriage is very important but not the end game’: Sajal Aly

    Powerhouse Sajal Aly is an inspiration to many fans, not just for her performances but also for being remarkably level headed.

    The actress recently gave an interview to Fuchsia Magazine at the launch event of Zard Patton Ka Bun. The conversation turned to society’s expectations, and Sajal did not hold back.

    “Marriage is often pitched as the endgame for a woman in our society, but that’s not the truth. Marriage can be a beautiful and important part of a woman’s life, but it’s not the ultimate goal. What marriage should be is a support system, and that’s only possible if you find a supportive partner. A woman should always seek independence through education and never lose her sense of self.”

    She also shared that, unlike her character Meenu, she never dreamed of becoming a doctor when she grew up. ‘I like always, connected deeply with the character of Meenu and loved being a part of a socially relevant show. Meenu’s story is so important, and I felt honored to bring it to life,” she remarked.

    The toughest part of the show for her? Surprisingly, riding the bicycle. “The bike was too big and I fell down a few times. I was scared and hurt, but I didn’t give up,” she said.

  • ‘New actresses should work on a few things’: Sadia Imam on Hiba Bukhari’s look

    ‘New actresses should work on a few things’: Sadia Imam on Hiba Bukhari’s look

    ‘New actresses should work on a few things’: Sadia Imam on Hiba Bukhari’s look

    Actress Hiba Bukhari is appearing in two dramas right now, ‘Radd’ (ARY Digital) and ‘Jaan Nisar’ (Geo).
    Recently, Sadia Imam, co-host of the show ‘Kia Drama Hai’, talked about Hiba Bukhari’s appearance in ‘Jaan Nisar’. She also discussed her ‘Radd’ look.

    Sadia Imam said, “Hiba looks suitable in ‘Radd’, portraying an educated girl from a lower-middle-class family. However, her makeup stands out, particularly the glossy lipstick, which seems out of place when matte makeup is currently in style. I’ve seen her previous work with Faysal Quraishi, and I even messaged him from Germany with some advice for her – to refine her eyebrow shape and lose weight, which she did and looked lovely afterwards. Still, I wish she had opted for a more subtle, matte makeup look in Radd.”

    The advise seems like a weird bit to offer publicly. Comments on an actor’s weight or makeup should not be publicly expressed.

  • Why Mariyam Nafees isn’t focused on playing a heroine opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi

    Why Mariyam Nafees isn’t focused on playing a heroine opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi

    Actress and model Mariyam Nafees gave an interview to ‘Independent Urdu’ where she talked about her character Zeenat in ‘Jaan e Jahan’.

    “If I wanted to play the lead opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi, I could have. He’s one of the most famous actors in Pakistan. But I don’t care about playing a heroine opposite him because we’ve known each other for years and are more like friends. Being cast as a lead opposite him isn’t a huge priority for me. If it happens, that’s good, but I’m not actively looking for it.”


    She also said, “I was initially supposed to play another character in ‘Jaan e Jahan’, but it was later removed from the script. Then, I was offered two more characters, and I chose to play ‘Zeenat’ because she had a huge impact in the drama and her character arc was perfect.”

  • Ali Gul Mallah criticized for body shaming Durefishan Saleem on TV show

    Ali Gul Mallah criticized for body shaming Durefishan Saleem on TV show


    Actor Ali Gul Mallah, who played the character of Bhallay/Fazal Bakhsh in ‘Ishq Murshid’, marked a significant turning point in his career with the hit TV show. However, his recent comments on Durefishan Saleem have landed him in controversy.

    Mallah was invited on Sahir Lodhi’s show and he was asked to give advice to Durefishan Saleem.
    Ali Gul said, “May Allah grant her success, and she should take care of her health a bit, become a bit healthy, and make her health better, meaning she should go on a diet.”


    Fans are not happy with Ali Gul Mallah’s statement and they are criticizing him:

  • Nabeel Zafar isn’t interested in playing father roles

    Nabeel Zafar isn’t interested in playing father roles

    Actor, director and producer Nabeel Zafar was invited as a guest on the FHM podcast.
    During the podcast, the actor expressed frustration with the lack of strong and unique scripts in today’s dramas, and stated that he will only consider taking on a character if the script meets his high standards.


    Talking further about not working more in dramas and not portraying the role of an on-screen father, he said, “Nowadays, it has become a trend that when a film is not successful, its script is picked up and turned into a drama. We’ve essentially turned dramas into films, which is fundamentally wrong.”

    “I decline roles because I’m not interested in playing a father figure on screen. I’ve already become a father in real life, and I don’t want to portray a character who gets divorced and then remarries, or one who asks his son if he’s eaten. I can’t relate to such storylines, which is why I turn down drama offers.”

  • Why did Dr Arooba say no to Geo’s drama offer?

    Why did Dr Arooba say no to Geo’s drama offer?

    Dr. Arooba Tariq, television host, recently shared her experience of being offered a lead role in a major Geo TV drama during a podcast with Hafiz Ahmed. She revealed that despite the significant offer, she declined the opportunity due to her father’s disapproval and her own reservations about the intense scenes requiring close physical contact with co-stars.


    “In the media industry, people tend to remember you by your face, especially if you’ve previously appeared on TV shows. As a result, I received a significant offer from Geo TV to play the main lead in a big drama. They genuinely wanted me to be a part of the brilliant ensemble cast of the play.

    In an attempt to convince me to take the job, they even brought me to the studio to experience the set and recording processes. My father, on the other hand, was not into it, so I was limited to hosting. I was still thinking about going to the Shahnoor studio, though. Following this, I came to the conclusion that acting was not for me, especially in light of the dramatic sequences that required close physical contact with co-stars. I declined the opportunity since, as a novice, I would not have any creative control over altering such daring situations.

  • Sonya Hussyn and Sami Khan shine in ‘Aik Chubhan Si’

    Sonya Hussyn and Sami Khan shine in ‘Aik Chubhan Si’

    It’s too early to know where ‘Aik Chubhan Si’ will go, but with Sonya Hussyn and Sami Khan on screen, there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Here’s why we’re giving this one a go.


    The story is different from the usual stuff on screen. There’s no love story with our hero and heroine falling in love at first sight. This Pakistani drama is about post-marital (non-marital) bliss. Naila and Haroon are happily married, but we see a husband who’s not too happy to serve Naila’s family. However, the story’s subtle and relatable details keep us watching.


    Naila insists on looking after her uncle because he raised her. Haroon agrees, but reluctantly, with no toxicity (yet) in his attitude. There’s curiosity about Maheen, played by Hira Khan, as her character seems to have more to reveal, especially in the final scene of the first episode. Is there a hint of mystery, thrill, or something else in the drama? The first episode sets the stage and keeps us intrigued to learn more.


    As the drama unfolds quickly, we hope the story won’t fall into the trap of overly stretched plots and typical ‘other woman’ conspiracies.
    Sonya Hussyn and Sami Khan share great on-screen chemistry. If you’re a fan of this couple, then Aik Chubhan Si is a drama you should try. They appear comfortable on screen and make their characters believable and true to life. Their effortless interactions make the drama more enjoyable to watch.


    Fahad Sheikh plays Moiz, Hira’s cousin, and his performance here is a step up from his past roles. Whether it’s the direction or Fahad’s acting, his character evokes sympathy, even in the first episode. We’re looking forward to more from him. Hira Khan’s character seems a bit toxic, but we hope she will prove to be more complex and interesting.


    ‘Aik Chubhan Si’ is written by Rukhsana Nigar and directed by Mohsin Talat. The cast features Sonya Hussyn, Sami Khan, Asma Abbas, Hira Khan, Fahad Sheikh, and others.

  • ‘I was told it is haraam’: Salma Hassan on working with ex-husband

    ‘I was told it is haraam’: Salma Hassan on working with ex-husband

    Actress Salma Hassan recently appeared in ‘Hasna Mana Hai’ which is hosted by Tabish Hashmi.

    The host asked her at one point, “In our society, divorce is a taboo. Naturally, when people get divorced, they don’t see each other, visit each other, or talk to each other. But you and Afzar continued to work together even after the divorce. Doesn’t it feel awkward?”

    She replied, “I was told this is haraam and how can you work with your ex-husband. I’m an actress, so I’d work with anyone. And for our daughter’s sake, I want to put our differences aside and have a good relationship with her father.”

    There you go, that’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.
