    Azra Mansoor lauds Mawra Hocane for a very special reason

    Senior Pakistani actress Azra Mansoor has praised actress Mawra Hocane for making prayers a priority during filming.


    In a recent interview, Azra addressed misconceptions about actors in showbiz, noting that many people assume that actors aren’t religious. “That’s not true,” she clarified.


    “Not all artists are religious, but many in our industry are very close to their faith.”


    Reflecting on her experience working with Mawra Hocane and Mohib Mirza on the drama ‘Jafa,’ Mansoor shared, “Both actors would take time to pray during shoots.”


    Mansoor expressed her admiration for Hocane in particular, saying, “I was pleased to see Mawra Hocane. When it was prayer time during shoots, she would pray first and then return to filming her scenes.”


    She also spoke about her religious practices, saying, “I work during Ramadan and observe fasts, despite some inappropriate comments directed towards actors. We artists are human too, and humans make mistakes. We’re not perfect.”

    ‘Barzakh’ leaves Fawad Khan emotionally shaken

    How happy are we that superstar Fawad Khan is out and about promoting a new project? Very very happy!

    The former rock star and now famous actor is always in the spotlight. His new supernatural web series, ‘Barzakh,’ will be released online on July 19. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Fawad discussed his latest project and the special appeal of Pakistani dramas.


    Fawad said he knew ‘Barzakh’ was a great project after reading the script. “When I read the script, I was sold,” he shared. “The script, the team, and especially the director, Asim Abbasi, were amazing. I’ve seen his earlier work, and he is a fantastic director.”


    Fawad recalled shooting for his role and laughed about how “unhinged” his character, Sheheryar the psychiatrist, becomes as the show goes on. “He’s a candidate for therapy himself! I’m laughing about it now, but shooting it was emotionally disturbing on many levels.”


    After their successful show ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai,’ Fawad was excited to work with Sanam Saeed again. “She is an incredible actor,” he said warmly. “I feel very comfortable working with her. As actors, our job is about reacting to each other, and she makes it so much easier.”

    Actress Sana Javed seen avoiding the camera in viral video

    Sana Javed’s response to people filming her without her consent has gone viral on social media.


    Sana is currently traveling with her husband, Shoaib Malik, who is participating in the Legends League.


    While in Birmingham with the team and their families, Sana was filmed without her permission. The actress, visibly uncomfortable, tried to shield her face from the camera with her hands.


    The video quickly spread on social media, sparking a heated debate.

    criticized Sana, claiming she was overreacting.
    Others defended Sana, saying the filming invaded her personal space and privacy. One supporter wrote, “One should respect personal boundaries, regardless of a person’s celebrity status.” Another added, “Celebrities should have the right to protect their privacy. The public should be more mindful of personal boundaries.”


    This incident with Sana Javed is not unique. Actress Dur-e-Fishan Saleem faced a similar situation when she was filmed without her knowledge and also received both criticism and support.


    As one user summed up, “Just because they are celebrities, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any feelings. They’re normal people who get affected by such behavior. The one who made the video should be ashamed.”

  • Marriage in Pakistan is no simple task, says actress Anam Tanveer

    Marriage in Pakistan is no simple task, says actress Anam Tanveer

    Actor Anam Tanveer recently discussed why getting married in Pakistan is harder than in other parts of the world during a podcast with FHM.


    Tanveer pointed out that in many other countries, people can marry who they love without considering religion, social status, or background. However, in Pakistan, these factors play a significant role.


    She gave examples: “In Pakistan, if a guy from DHA likes a girl from Malir, they often can’t marry because of where they live. This shouldn’t be the deciding factor.”


    She added, “If I live in North Nazimabad, a guy might think it’s a cheap and backward area and refuse to marry me. Today, people prioritize where someone lives over compatibility, education, or character. A guy from DHA usually marries a girl from the same area.”


    Tanveer also talked about her ideal partner, saying he should respect women, support his wife, and trust her career goals. She concluded by saying, “I haven’t met a single Pakistani man who respects women well.”
