    ‘Was offered ‘Verna’, refused ‘HKKST’ initially’: Usman Mukhtar gets candid

    Actor Usman Mukhtar has revealed that he initially refused to work in his successful drama Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay.

    In a recent interview, the Anaa star mentioned: “I’m generally a little picky with my scripts especially after Sabaat when I received the script of Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, I initially refused to be a part of it.”

    “When I read the script and the novel I thought that the character of Aswad was too toxic. I wanted to do something different this time. Then later on we had a conversation with the team and we changed many things in Aswad’s character. I refused to portray a violent character. The team cooperated with me and changed what I requested them to change in script”, added Usman.

    “Aswad does not come from that background, born and brought up in a household of women. Not a lot of boys were involved in his life,” he stated.

    The Parchi actor revealed: “Now we’re getting a massive response on Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. People are loving the storyline and everything. Meanwhile, I’m also receiving threatening messages that what you are doing to Mehreen is totally wrong, you’ll be destroyed. I used tell them that it’s just a character and drama.”

    He also confessed that this isn’t the first time that he was supposed to work with Mahira Khan as he was also approached for Verna by Shoaib Mansoor but that couldn’t materialise.

    Along with Usman in the Farooq Rind directorial, Mahira Khan and Kubra Khan can be seen in lead roles as Mehreen and Mashal, respectively.

To which the actor immediately replied that he would choose the Mere Paas Tum Ho writer and at the same time he also called Qamar the best man.

    Hamza Ali Abbasi schools social media followers regarding peers and murshads

    Actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has shared an important message regarding peers and murshads on his official Facebook handle.

    The Pyarey Afzal star wrote: “There are many peers and murshads who demand devotion to themselves or personalities of the past with a claim that they can bring their devotees closer to God. God is closer to everyone than their jugular vein (Quran 50:16). We need learned teachers who teach God’s message/religion given to us for the last time through Muhammad PBUH, but as teachers only, as mere humans who can be right and wrong, not infallible sacred personalities demanding devotion to themselves.”

    The Jawani Phir Nahi Aani actor shared another Quranic verse which read: “Devotion is for God only. As for those who take as Lords others beside God and say ‘We are only devoted to them for they will bring us closer to God’ – God will judge them regarding what they differ in. God does not guide liars and disbelievers.”

    He also schooled a netizen, replying in his comments section.

    The Mann Mayal hero often preaches the teachings of Islam via his social media.

    He also revealed in a recent interview that his switch to a more spiritual life was not the product of any particular experience in life. “It was more of an intellectual problem for me. Ever since I was a child, I figured there were only two ways to go about this.”
