Nida Yasir surely knows how to make an interview memorable. She went viral last year for not knowing how Formulae 1 cars work but this time, her gaffe is even more hilarious.
In an interview on ‘The Shoaib Akhtar Show’ on Urduflix, host Shoaib Akhtar conducted a round where he asked quick questions from guests Nida Yasir and Shahista Lodhi. When it was Yasir’s turn, she was asked: “What year did Pakistan win the ’92 world cup?” And Yasir’s reaction went viral
Actor and morning show host Nida Yasir recently appeared on The Talk Talk Show where she marked the leading ladies of Pakistan out of ten for their acting skills.
The host Hassan Chaudhry first asked her about Sarah Khan, and Nida gave her 7.5 marks for her acting chops. She then marked 8.5 to Ayeza Khan, 9.5 to Maya Ali, 7.5 to Minal Khan, and 7.5 to Mawra Hocane.
The Nadaaniyaan diva stated that there isa scope for improvement in their performances.
Nida also addressed other controversies surrounding her. She has long been under scrutiny for the type of guests she invites on her morning show, Good Morning Pakistan. From the likes of Dananeer Mobeen, Ayesha Mano to Ahmed Shah, Nida has invited them all to her popular show.
However, throughout the years, many spectators have also criticised the TV host for not highlighting people with more academic achievements, and only catering to people who go viral online for ‘foolish theatrics’. Taking her chance, the famous host has finally set the record straight and reminded her audience about the many times she has provided limelight to such guests on her show.
“I want to respond to this criticism by recalling the time I invited Ayesha, the girl who became viral on TikTok for her dance to my show. Many people started asking me why I didn’t invite a specific guest who has won academic awards. The truth is, you cannot even fathom how many shows I conduct that feature academic champs, but they never get high ratings,” said the Hum Tum actor.
She then went on to highlight how Mobeen and Zara Naeem were invited on the same day together. “Once I even invited 7-8 people on one show, and they all possessed so many talented skills, but the episode went unnoticed. I also invited Zara and Dananeer together, still, people only remember the latter one better. How does the audience not recall Zara? This is not my fault, but actually of the people who want to see these guests on my show.”
Yasir elaborated her stance by speaking about the repetitive narratives used in dramas. She noted, “If our Pakistani dramas are still stuck on producing family politics storylines, it’s because of the demand too. The channels will obviously try to create more dramas that give them more profitable responses.”
Tired of the ongoing fuss, the Nadaaniyaan actor then put forth an interesting question for her critics. She asked, “When I do invite educated people to my show, why aren’t people watching them?”
She also further explained how fans request her to feature guests on her show. “I also would like to add that people even tag me in photos now to show who they want to see on my show. When I woke up one morning, I saw a picture online of the ‘Lahore Da Pawa – Akhtar Lawa’Â man doctored beside me, and that’s how I learned about the viral meme circulating on the internet. I also once got a call from a man who married a woman much younger than his age asking me to invite him as a guest because he’s gone viral. Like, should I just invite you because of your marriage?”
Yasir then concluded the conversation by highlighting how viewers don’t give her the complete credit she truly deserves. “People just watch the viral clips of my show and assume that’s the only type of guests I invite, but that’s really not the case. I run a morning show that takes place every day, so I keep a proper balance of my guest list,” expressed the Yeh Zindagi Hai actor.Â
Senior actor Amber Khanâs daughter Alizeh is currently trending on social media for her weight loss transformation. The youngster has shed 36 kgs in a span of six months.
Alizeh has revealed in a recent vlog that she has done lots of exercises and dieting to maintain to lose the unwanted weight.
Alizeh shared that she has been doing intermittent fasting in order to lose weight. She used to fast for 18 hours between meals and she had left bread and rice completely. She also added that sometimes she would eat junk food but then she will compensate for the later meals. She also kept working out which helped her achieve her goal.
Earlier this year, Alizeh received some mean comments from netizens for her appearance on Nida Yasirâs morning show.
Senior actor Shabbir Jan recently appeared as a guest on comedian Nadir Aliâs podcast where he spilled the beans on his live feud with morning show host Nida Yasir.
Jan said that it was a planned gimmick to garner television ratings. He said that yes the artists are paid for their appearances on these morning shows, but there has to be a limit for what they expect the guests to do on their show for ratings in return for the money.
The senior actor shared that Nida and other people from the ARY administration visited him and they were apologetic about what had transpired. He said that there should be a limit to what is happening in order to make people watch your show.
Shabbir Jan also refuted the rumours that ARY administration put a ban on calling him again after the whole incident. He also added that he generally gets angry quickly and it was his control that he only walked off the show.
Earlier on Nauman Ijaz’s show, G Sarkar, Jan revealed that Nida asked him a question about flirtation, and after his reply, she declared his answer was false.
Shabbir expressed his dislike and left the show. Talking about the show, he added âit was a stupid segment, you should know with whom you are talking and what exactly are you asking.”
In a live show on ARY today, television host and salon owner Rabia Anum walked out of Nida Yasir’s morning show, âGood Morning Pakistanâ. Rabia was invited to the show as a guest, alongside Fiza Ali and Mohsin Abbas Haider.
According to sources, Rabia was not told that she had been invited alongside Mohsin on the show. Rabia had been vocal against Mohsin after Mohsinâs former wife Fatima revealed that she had been a victim of domestic abuse during their marriage.
Rabia decided to leave the show after a few minutes of the show being live. According to reliable sources, while walking out, Rabia said on live television that she cannot share a platform with a wife-beater.

She also cried while exiting the show. She elaborated on the fact that if today she will compromise on her morals, and share the platform with Mohsin, she will never be able to raise her voice for her daughters or friends when they would be at the receiving end of domestic violence.
However, right after the first segment, which was shot at the beginning of the show, Rabia left the show, which has been edited out. Mohsin was accused of domestic violence by his former wife, Fatima Sohail, in 2019. The controversy grabbed national headlines and Mohsin was boycotted by certain influential personalities of the fraternity. He was also kicked out of Mazaaq Raat. A lower court in Lahore even found Mohsin guilty of threatening his former wife.
Actor Mathira has lashed out at model and host Kiran Butt for age-shaming superstar Mehwish Hayat. Kiran recently asked Khalil-ur-Rehman on Ahmad Ali Butt’s show that people speculate by Mehwish’s age a lot these days so is this the reason Qamar wouldn’t work with her?
Mathira commented under a blog’s post who shared this video clip. The Raasta diva slammed Butt for her remarks. Mathira also wrote, “I bet Kiran is one of those girls who are stuck on 25 (years of age) for the next 25 years.”

Earlier this month, Mathira took to her Instagram stories to hit out at fellow actress Kiran Tabier for her recent comment about the Blind Love diva. A fan recently told Kiran that she looks like Mathira’s twin sister.
The Parizaad star expressed her disappointment on the same and sarcastically told the netizen that if she’s a woman, her thinking needs a salute.
Mathira responded to it by saying, âBeing compared to me is not swearing or a bad word. But if u think then thatâs your head Anyways. Apki Soch ko salam Karna Chahie. Why do people think I am that bad?”
In March 2022, Mathira schooled senior actress Naima Khan for her remarks about a women’s body on Nida Yasir’s morning show. Naima Khan said on the show, “I get uncomfortable whenever I see someone fat. Though young girls are against me, I replied to them that I thought you are Aunty standing here. You should look like a girl.”
She also discussed in the morning show that young girls should maintain their bodies so that they could prevent diseases such as blood pressure and diabetes.
Netizens have expressed serious concerns over these statements on social media.
Mathira referred to Naima an âauntyâ and told her to focus on herself. She thinks that Naima has an uneducated and toxic thought process, the Blind Love diva couldnât comprehend how Naima could utter something so unethical during a morning show.
On Tuesday, model Mehreen Syed took to Instagram to announce the news. “Mashallah, Allah’s mercy. Congratulations,” she wrote. Judging by her caption, the couple has been blessed with a baby girl.

Actor Eshal Fayyaz has clapped back at a troll on Instagram for slut shaming her under the comment section of her recent post.

âWhen the rumours of my and Khalil-ur-Rehman’s marriage spread, I was so afraid that I locked myself in the room and I was sitting alone, crying in my room,â said Eshal. “My mother explained to me that sitting in fear will not do anything. Go in front of people and explain, after which I faced the public and clarified all the rumours.”
The actor further said that Qamar is like family to her and lashed out at social media for spreading false rumours. Fayyaz further remarked that life was very easy when social media didnât exist but after its takeover people have become negative and harass others.

The next morning I found out about my motherâs death, I just spent the whole day praying to Allah to create an easy way for me so I can go back home and see my mother. This thing hurts me the most that I was not there with my mother during her last moments.â

Later, a clip from The Current’s exclusive interview with Nida is resurfacing on web in which she stated the reason of doing so.
âThe reason is that I have seen photographs of a lot of actresses on random pages with captions. They [other actresses] mustâve posed considering them their fans but the captions on Facebook etc say âMeet my friend, [XYZ],â she said.
âI donât judge anyone ever since, but Iâll get photographed with families, with female friends, but not with male fans,â Nida Yasir remarked.
