    Did you know Ali Abbas and Ramsha Khan are cousins?

    Ali Abbas and Ramsha Khan, who are currently sharing the screen opposite each other in Ghissi Piti Mohabbat, are cousins in real-life.

    In a recent interview, Ali revealed that Ramsha is his first cousin.

    “I don’t think a lot of people know this but Ramsha is my first cousin. She is my aunt’s daughter,” shared Ali. “Since childhood, we hung out – all the cousins – and she used to call me Ali Bhai.”

    “Now there we were holding hands and we had to look into each other’s eyes and deliver all these lines [in Ghissi Piti Mohabbat],” he added.

    Abbas further shared that he had to tell director Ahmad Bhatti that they had this problem.

    “Then the ice broke, we sat down because we were destroying the scenes and we decided to put the cousinship aside and to focus on work,” he said further.

    Fahad defends Jalan, Nand

    Meanwhile, Fahad has vehemently defended his drama serials Jalan and Nand..

    Defending Nand and Jalan, Fahad said: “People are watching Nand and Jalan. If they weren’t watching the dramas then they won’t be talking about it.”

    “I am proud of Balaa, Cheekh, Nand and Jalan. We can’t educate people with every drama but we do what we can. I try to attract people with unique titles of my dramas. That’s why my dramas have such titles. If Nand had another name, people might not watch it.”

    He continued: “This is the age of social media and people are watching ‘pocket films’. To keep the audiences engaged for 26 to 30 episodes, we try to make content that creates curiosity and keep viewers hooked.”

    Fahad then went on to say that people and critics should wait for a drama to end before passing their judgements and remarks.

    “People are talking and criticising them [Jalan, Nand] because they are recent dramas. Being the producer of these two dramas, I own and like both of the dramas. Poor or rich, everyone is talking about them,” stated Fahad.

    Concluding his remarks, the actor said: “I think this drama does not have any unethical content. If anyone didn’t like it, then they have mental issues.”

  • Faryal Mehmood wants everyone to leave her marriage alone

    Faryal Mehmood wants everyone to leave her marriage alone

    Faryal Mehmood has quashed all rumours and speculation regarding her and husband Daniyal Raheal’s split. Fans and followers had been speculating that all is not well between the couple and that the two are heading towards a divorce just a few months after their marriage.

    In a note posted to social media, Faryal said: “I have been noticing posts all over social media about me and my husband splitting up! Just because I don’t post pictures of him on a regular basis considering we have conflicting schedules, we chose to spend time with each other instead of trying to show and prove to you guys that our marriage is surviving.”

    “I’d like you guys to leave my marriage up to me and Daniyal and focus on issues that are important in your own lives,” she added. “It’s a shame honestly!”

    Faryal and Daniyal tied the knot in an intimate nikkah ceremony in May this year. Earlier when the divorce rumours first circulated, Daniyal posted pictures of the two celebrating Faryal’s birthday to shut them down.

  • ‘Leave the judging to God’: Ahsan Mohsin Ikram responds to backlash

    ‘Leave the judging to God’: Ahsan Mohsin Ikram responds to backlash

    Ahsan Mohsin Ikram, who has recently been criticised for his alleged relationship with Minal Khan and for posting loved-up pictures of the two, has reacted to the backlash by asking people to worry about “his/her own life instead of others”.

    “Oh you who believe! Let not some people among you laugh at others, perhaps they may be better than them,” said the actor in a story posted to his Instagram.

    He then went onto say: “Human beings tend to judge others. They describe differences and are quick look down and those who may be different from themselves. It is as though they think that they are so right and so special, that anyone who is not like them has something wrong with them. We may not admit this, even to ourselves judging others and mocking them, openly or covertly, that is probably the most behind our attitude.”

    Ahsan then said that to “respect the differences is to respect the God who made us all so unique”.

    “Each one of us is special the way we think, talk act or behave,” he asserted. “Diversity adds to the richness of the world.”

    “Islam teaches us not to condemn others. Leave the judging to God. Worry about, and judge, only yourself,” he added.

    He further explained his stance by quoting a Hadith.

    “According to Hadith, fortunate is that person who is so busy with his own faults, that he has no time to think about the faults of others. Even if you see something we don’t like in someone, you may be guilty of the same thing, but are less likely to see in yourself.”

    Concluding his comments, Ahsan said: “Also, there may be a lot good in the other person which you are not aware of. The fourth Imam (a) taught us to see every person we meet as better than ourselves.”

    Fans, followers and social media users have criticised the alleged couple for sharing pictures of themselves in which they can be seen hugging one another. Netizens believe that the actors are giving out wrong message thorough their actions.

    Former actor Noor Bukhari was among those who expressed her reservations over the alleged couple’s public display of affection.

    In a post featuring the two, Bukhari commented: “I really [like] both the sisters. But if they are married, then being close and posting these pictures is fine.”

    “But if not, they are misleading the youth by making it alright to post intimate pictures before marriage,” stated the actor, adding, “Or maybe they are nikaofied (married). Aur unke parents khush hain (And their parents are happy).”

    Though Ahsan has turned off the comments on his post, the picture of the purported duo has gone viral on social media with people leaving hateful comments.

  • Adnan Siddiqui opens up on how ‘Mom’ left him ’emotionally drained’

    Adnan Siddiqui opens up on how ‘Mom’ left him ’emotionally drained’

    Adnan Siddiqui has often opened up about the challenges that come with being an actor. In a recent Instagram post, the actor recalled how his Bollywood film Mom left him emotionally exhausted and drained.

    “I have always felt that acting tests you emotionally,” said the actor. “Whether it’s a deliberate call by the script or of a wily director to bring out the best of his/her actors.”

    “I have often been confronted with situations in dramas and movies which I would rather not happen to me in real life. We are never comfortable with our fears and insecurities, on-screen or off it. It can be quite taxing emotionally, and never a pleasant experience to film such scenes,” he continued.

    “I remember being thrown into a very poignant moment while shooting a scene of the movie Mom. The director, Ravi Udyawar briefed me that my character Anand Sabarwal, who is seeking justice for his daughter Arya, has his back to the wall.”

    He further shared: “’Adnan, Anand the man is still fighting gallantly but Anand the father feels defeated.’ I can still recall his brief. I nodded and thought to myself, ‘It’s easy’, till the cameras rolled and I started with the shot.”

    “Being a father of two beautiful daughters, I could relate to the severity of Anand’s pain. I almost lived his frustration, anger, helplessness and fear of losing the battle for his daughter’s justice. I was completely numb and emotionally drained by the end of the shoot. In fact, I still shudder at the thought of Anand’s anguish,” he wrote.

    “Nothing breaks you as much as your child’s suffering and your inability to alleviate it. I pray to Allah that no parent gets to live the reality fictional Anand had to. May Allah keep everyone’s children safe and healthy,” he concluded.

    Mom is a crime thriller film directed by Ravi Udyawar. It is centred around a mother (Sridevi) who sets out to avenge the rape of her stepdaughter (Sajal Aly). Adnan played Sri Devi’s husband and Sajal’s father in the film. The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna in supporting roles. The movie marked Sridevi’s 300th and final major film appearance before her sudden demise on February 24 2018.

    Upon its release, the film was a critical and commercial success with critics and audiences lauding the performances.

    Earlier, in 2017 when the film released, Adnan had shared his experience of working with the team.

    Posting pictures from the sets of the film, the actor had written: “It would have been impossible if it wasn’t for people like Boney Kapoor sahab, the man who taught me quite a few things about filmmaking.”

    “Sri Devi jee, who proved why she was and is one of the best the world will ever see. And undoubtedly, our home-grown bundle of exceptional talent Sajal Aly, who didn’t allow a single scene to be ordinary. These were my beacons throughout this project. The man who didn’t give up on anyone of us, the captain of the ship – our director Ravi Udyawar was an iceberg when it came to tackling petty to big issues and guided us all to victory.”

    Mom is available to stream on Netflix Pakistan.
