    Female celebrities speak up against online abuse

    While scrolling through social media, you often come across abusive and vile comments, targeted at female celebrities, which make you shudder if they catch your eye for even a moment. Recently, several popular female celebrities have spoken up about being abused online and have called for a stop on it.

    Here are all those who have expressed their anger online.

    Mahira Khan

    This is not the first time Mahira Khan has opened up about online abuse and its repercussions.

    Hania Aamir

    Hania Aamir has spoken up on more than one occasion about being bullied online but her recent Instagram story was directed at Hina Altaf who commented that Muneeb Butt is a bad actor.

    Ayesha Omar

    Ayesha Omar is currently vacationing in Greece but it appears that Pakistani citizens are not having with her vacay style and are voicing their disapproval in the comments section. That propelled Ayesha to post this in her Instagram stories.

    Iqra Aziz

    In just the past week, Iqra Aziz has talked about cyber abuse twice. Once before her engagement to Yasir Hussain and once after. In her first post, Iqra talked about how it takes a few words to bring someone down and tell them that they aren’t good enough. In her second post, post-engagement, she said that she is shutting out all those who are spreading hate and vitriol online.

    ‘Parey Hut Love’ has more stars than you can count

    The trailer of Asim Raza’s much-awaited romantic drama Parey Hut Love released Friday and the one thing that caught our attention was the plethora of stars in the film.

    Apart from the star-studded lead cast which includes Sheheryar Munawar, Maya Ali, Zara Noor Abbas, Ahmad Ali Butt, Hina Dilpazeer and Freiha Altaf, there were glimpses of Mahira Khan, Meera, Fawad Khan, Cybil Chowdry and Sonya Jehan in the film.

    • Mahira Khan
    • Sonya Jehan
    • Cybil Chowdry
    • Meera
    • Fawad Khan

    And given that it’s an Asim Raza venture, we’re pretty sure there’ll be plenty of more cameos.

    The three-minute trailer was fun, colourful, festive and glamourous and the premise of the film appears to be shaadi – no points for guessing that.

    Parey Hut Love releases on Eid-ul-Azha.

  • ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ faces another twist

    ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ faces another twist

    Ever since the teaser for The Legend of Maula Jatt was dropped, the film has had to face some issue or another. The film, which was initially scheduled to be released on Eid-ul-Fitr this year, has now been postponed and a new release date has not yet been announced.

    The film was mired in controversy when Sarwar Bhatti came forward and claimed that Maula Jatt was his property. He then filed an application for a stay order to prevent the director from using the character, name and dialogues and asked for the film to be banned from releasing. However, the Lahore High Court, after listening to the hearing, forwarded the case to the Censorboard and asked them to determine whether copyright issues exist or not.

    In the latest turn of events, it has emerged that the Punjabi classic was reportedly produced by six partners that made up the Bahu Films Corporation, of which Chaudhry Jamil and Sarwar Bhatti were the main investors. This means that Sarwar Bhatti does not solely own the copyrights to the film. Chaudhry Jamil’s son has come forward with the claim and accused Sarwar Bhatti of misrepresenting facts and concealing important information.

    Meanwhile, Sarwar Bhatti has rubbished the claims saying that he separated his business from Chaudhry Jameel in 1984, ten years before he was murdered. He also accused the film’s director, Bilal Lashari, and producer Ammara Hikmat of using “cheap tricks to corner him.”

  • Game of Thrones – The Pakistani style

    Game of Thrones – The Pakistani style

    The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is currently on-air and we couldn’t help but wonder which actor would have played which character, had the show been a Pakistani one. Here’s who we think would have been the best fit for the different GoT characters.

    Fawad Khan as Jon Snow

    If there’s anyone who can look this good while knowing nothing, it’s Fawad Khan.

    Saba Qamar as Daenerys Targaryen

    The macho Mother of Dragons can only be matched by the might of Saba Qamar.

    Mehwish Hayat as Cersei Lannister

    There is zero doubt that the fire of Cersei can only be matched with that of Mehwish.

    Hamza Ali Abbasi as Jamie Lannister

    Fighting with one hand and being tossed around by moral dillemas, Hamza and Jamie go together.

    Rozi Khan as Tyrion Lannister

    Even though this chai wala isn’t an actor, there’s no one who could play Tyrion better. He just needs to be silent and stand there and we’ll all watch in awe at the resemblance.

    Mahira Khan as Sansa Stark

    Beychari Sansa ko fit hoti hai beychari Mahira. Waiting to see how she grows into a warrior princess.

    Imran Abbas as Bran Stark

    Other than the fact that they look scarily similar, Imran Abbas has got the focus needed to be Bran.

    Mikaal Zulfiqar as Robb Stark

    Hot stuff, dies early, hi Mikaal Zulfiqar.

    Sajal Aly as Arya Stark

    Seems innocent doesn’t she? Sajal has got the sting that is needed to be the strong Arya.

    Shahroz Sabzwari as Joffrey Baratheon

    This evil cutie pie could only be played by Shahroz.

    Nayyer Ejaz as Sandor “The Hound” Clegane

    Haayee The Hound! Can you spot any difference? (Other than the obvious pagri of course).

    Shamoon Abbasi as Khal Drogo

    It’s like Shamoon was made to play Khal Drogo.

    Ahmed Ali Butt as Samwell Tarly

    Can you think of anyone else?

    Mawra Hocane as Margaery Tyrell

    Looks sweet, but can be utterly ruthless.

    Ali Azmat as Varys

    We didn’t pick Ali Azmat because both are bald. He’s got the edgy smoothness needed to be The Spider.

    Resham as Melisandre

    Resham is the perfect match for Melisandre’s conviction and intensity.

    Ali Zafar as Ramsay Bolton

    Ramsay created a lot of trouble with his conniving ways so who better than our very own Teefa.

    Sanam Saeed as Brienne of Tarth

    Sanam has got the stoic might to play Brianne of Tarth.
