    Mohsin Naqvi gets team’s hotel changed

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took strict notice of the national team’s stay at a New York hotel located 90 minutes away from the stadium, leading to a change in hotel.

    Earlier the hotel where the team had to stay was a 90-minute drive from the stadium, but the changed hotel is just five minutes away from the stadium.

    The Indian cricket team is housed just 10 minutes away from the ground in New York, while other teams’ hotels are more than an hour away.

    South Africa and Sri Lanka have already expressed concerns over the facilities provided during their stay in New York.

    According to Geo sources, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi made it clear to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that if the Pakistani team’s hotel has not changed, he would shift the team to a better and more convenient place at PCB’s expense.

    The national team will leave for New York immediately after the match against USA today, to play a highly-anticipated match against India on June 9 and one against Canada on June 11. The last match of the first round will be against Ireland on June 16.

    The interview also showed clips of the actor involved in making the song, carefully listening during recording.

    Atif also expressed that he had a ‘wonderful time’ working with Sana Shahnawaz and Samina Humayun Saeed, the two women behind Gentleman. He revealed that he was presented with two different compositions, and, after careful consideration, they chose the one that became the final OST. “It was a general consensus amongst us that this choice was the one. The credit goes to them they were fair to the compositions and to the drama itself.”

    Atif remembered how he felt when he first heard the lyrics of ‘Tumhari Chup.’ “These lyrics are relatable for anyone who has experienced longing in any relationship, and that’s the vibe I felt too when I heard the lyrics,” he said.

The combination of Atif’s emotional singing and Naveed’s powerful composition of ‘Tumhari Chup’ has played a significant role in the early success of ‘Gentleman.’

  • Javed Sheikh was going to star with Rekha in famous blockbuster

    Javed Sheikh was going to star with Rekha in famous blockbuster

    Veteran Lollywood star Javed Sheikh has seen many ups and downs in the industry. He is now opening up about some of his struggles.

    Recently, he was invited as a guest on Metro Live TV’s chit chat session on YouTube. Sheikh talked about the tough times he had seen, including losing a lot of money because of his divorce from Salma Agha and missing out on a big Bollywood movie role.


    “I was already divorced when I married Salma Agha, but our marriage only lasted three years. It’s a complicated story that I’ll share another time. After our divorce, there was a lot of conflict and drama. I was supposed to work on a film in India called Khoon Bhari Maang with Rekha, but I was forced to drop out. Similarly, in Pakistan, I was replaced in the film Bangkok Kay Chor by Izhar Qazi, and in India, Kabir Bedi took my place in Khoon Bhari Maang alongside Rekha. I didn’t want Pakistan’s reputation to be damaged in Bollywood, so I didn’t pursue the matter further. If I were a greedy person, I would have left Salma Agha immediately after the film.”


    Javed Sheikh also said, “Salma used to take me to India and wouldn’t let me join my sets in Pakistan. As a result, many films went to other actors. She looked down on Pakistani films and didn’t let me go back to Pakistan, which led to film producers replacing me with other actors.”

    Trending Pakistani dramas: What’s hot on TV in 2024

    If you’re here for a quick update on your weekly drama watch, you’re in the right place. Without further ado, let’s get started on the week in dramas!

    Zard Patton Ka Bunn

    Kashf Foundation’s project’s latest episode focused on important conversations. Meenu discussed with her friend how educated mothers can raise better generations. She said, “Parh likh kar naslen banani hain (Atom bomb nahi). If my mother was educated, she would have brought up my brothers better so they wouldn’t stand in the way of my education.” We agree with Meenu.

    Gentleman


    Love-struck Rehmati and Iqbal Munna need to watch out! Seeing Iqbal Munna and Zarnab together was great, but is their love story moving too fast? Iqbal Munna’s crush on Zarnab was cute, but now Rehmati is also in love, making it complicated. Remember, Zarnab still loves Faris—for now! We’re unsure if Gentleman will focus more on Korangi’s drama or Zarnab’s love life, but Zarnab’s story seems stronger. Rehmati and Munna might have a chance as the plot thickens. Faris seems more focused on his job than Zarnab’s activism. Who will she choose?

    Pas e Deewar


    Pas e Deewar stands out with intense storytelling and fast-paced action. What happens next is anyone’s guess! Shabbir disappointed us by playing Ujala. The plot thickens as Maqbool sets up his sister, and we’re eager to see how Iftikhar reacts. The drama gets points for the scene where Ujala escapes Hamid’s advances—an intense and well-done moment. Hashim’s evil wrath contrasted with Shabbir’s calm, wicked planning is interesting to watch.

    Jaan e Jahan


    Oh, Jaan e Jahan! The emotions are real. Shehraam has Mahnoor’s heart and also the hearts of many viewers. He’s the hero and has finally reunited with his beloved Chooriyan. We hope the days are not far behind. The simple yet heartwarming elements of Mahnoor and Shehraam’s bond are pure love. Tabraiz, despite his evil plans, won our hearts—a tragic fate indeed. But the question remains: will Aliya and Abdul tie up their incomplete love story, or will it end in heartbreak? We’re eager to find out in the final episode.

    Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet


    Farhaad, the pain of being an only son, we feel you! As Farhaad and Freeya grow apart, their journey must continue to find a resolution. Watching Farhaad’s regrets about a conversation he never had with his father was painful. Even more painful were his torn emotions between his mother, wife, and job; his mental struggle was clear and brought us to tears. Kiran’s silent battle must end in triumph. She now holds the key to her father’s restaurant, and we hope this realization empowers her. Stand up, Kiran; your family needs you. More importantly, other girls who might be in your situation are watching you. You need to help yourself first before others can help you. Speak up now, please. The drama is in its 25th episode, and you’re losing precious time!
