    ‘Not haram’: Hira Somroo on rumors of Fahad Mustafa’s alleged second marriage

    Pakistani actress Hira Somroo has put in her two cents on the rumors of superstar Fahad Mustafa’s alleged second marriage, saying that if he has tied the knot again, it is a commendable step as he has done it the right way and not committed a sin. 

    Speaking during her recent appearance on the FHM podcast, Hira discussed inappropriate behavior within the entertainment industry and also addressed the speculation surrounding Fahad Mustafa’s personal life.

    For several weeks, rumors have circulated that the Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad star secretly got married for the second time, though Fahad Mustafa has yet to comment publicly on the matter. However, sources privy to the matter have told The Current that the allegations are not true.

    When asked about the rumors, Hira defended the actor, saying, “Fahad Mustafa is a very decent man. I’ve never heard a single inappropriate thing about him.”

    She further added, “If he has gotten married again, then that’s a very good thing. He got married directly. He didn’t do anything haram. His first wife is also a very understanding woman, I’m sure she’ll understand.”

    The actress expressed confidence that if the rumors are true, the situation would be handled maturely. “I don’t think there would be any fights or drama. I think everyone will live happily,” she said.

    During the podcast, Hira also shed light on her own experiences in the entertainment industry, revealing how some colleagues have behaved inappropriately.

    “Many people in the industry have tried to start inappropriate conversations with me,” she revealed, though she declined to name individuals. “It usually starts with a compliment, and then by midnight, they start asking for pictures.”

    She added that she has often received offers to go out, but has always rejected them firmly. “I just give them a shut-up call and move on,” she said.

    Concluding her remarks, Hira stated bluntly: “If anyone from this industry claims they’ve never experienced such behavior, they’re lying.”

    Muneeb Butt goes viral sharing how his daughters brought him good fortune

    Daughters are angels sent from above to fill their fathers’ hearts with unending love and Pakistani actor Muneeb Butt is no different.

    The actor has declared that all three of his daughters are a source of good fortune for him.

    A promo clip of actress Zara Noor Abbas’s show What MomSense featuring Muneeb Butt is going viral on social media platforms. The host asks Muneeb about his daughters.

    “Every year that a daughter was born in my home turned out to be the best year for me, both financially and professionally. During those times, my dramas were superhits.”

    On a question about him being the flag bearer of family time, Muneeb shared that the complete happiness one feels during family time is unmatched and cannot be found anywhere else.

    It is worth mentioning that the famous Pakistani showbiz couple, Muneeb Butt and Aiman Khan, welcomed their third daughter in August this year.

    Before the birth of their third daughter, the couple was already blessed with two daughters, Amal and Miral. Amal, their firstborn, has often been seen accompanying her parents at public events and on social media, where fans adore her charming presence. Miral, the second daughter, also holds a special place in the hearts of their followers, as the couple frequently shares precious family moments on their social media platforms.

  • Omar Saeed claim’s Fahad Mustafa’s ‘second wife’ runs his production house

    Omar Saeed claim’s Fahad Mustafa’s ‘second wife’ runs his production house

    Photographer Omar Saeed Ahmed has publicly alleged that Hina Amaan has taken complete control over Big Bang Entertainment, the production house co-founded by actor and host Fahad Mustafa.

    In a viral video interview making rounds on social media, Omar Saeed did not mince words, claiming that Hina Amaan has effectively “taken over everything” at Big Bang, and that no decision is made without her approval. “Hina Amaan has taken over everything. Fahad Mustafa’s production house is taken over by her. Everything is done there on her order,” Omar declared in the interview.

    Omar further alleged that those in the industry who fail to maintain a good rapport with Hina Amaan are quickly sidelined or removed altogether. Even veteran directors with major drama hits under their belts, he claimed, have faced professional consequences simply because of a fallout with her.

    “She is the Queen, and a Queen has huge influence,” he said.

    The strong language referring to Hina as “Queen” of the production house has fueled public debate online, with many netizens questioning whether Fahad Mustafa still has creative control at Big Bang or whether he has handed the reins entirely to Hina.

    The bold claims have ignited intense discussion across platforms like Instagram and Reddit.

    Hina Amaan is known to be involved in the production world, and has previously worked as a producer. She has been linked professionally to various entertainment projects and also runs Backseat Films.

    Adding to the controversy are long-standing rumours that Fahad Mustafa and Hina Amaan may be secretly married, although no evidence has ever been presented publicly. Neither Fahad nor Hina have confirmed or denied such rumors.

    However, sources privy to the matter have told The Current that the allegations are not true.

    They alleged that Omar was “taking out old grudges” and had no proof of his accusations.

    Earlier, actor and TV host Fiza Ali bashed rumor-mongers in a blatant statement to look at their “own matters” and “give privacy” to the actor.

    She criticized the culture of gossip, saying, “Before commenting on Fahad Mustafa’s life, take a look at your own homes, your relationships, your health, and your families. Fix your own issues first.”

    “Let Fahad live his life,” she said firmly. “If he chooses to share something publicly, he will. Until then, people need to mind their own business.”

  • A tale of two proposals; Gohar Rasheed, Kubra Khan’s wedding was a long time in the making

    A tale of two proposals; Gohar Rasheed, Kubra Khan’s wedding was a long time in the making

    Actor Gohar Rasheed has shared that tying the knot in the holy city of Makkah was a long-held wish for both him and his wife, actress Kubra Khan.

    In a candid recent interview, Gohar shared the story behind their union, saying that the idea of a Makkah wedding had been a mutual but coincidental desire, discussed casually when they were still just friends.

    “Both of us had thought about it on our own,” he recalled. “I had imagined that whenever I get married, it would be in Makkah. Kubra had the same thought independently. We had mentioned it to each other once, just as friends, saying that whenever either of us gets married, it should be there.”

    He laughed as he remembered the moment they realized their shared dream would become a reality with each other. “So when it was finally our wedding, we said, let’s do it in Makkah.”

    Reflecting on life after marriage, Gohar spoke about the peace and clarity it has brought. “There’s a reason why marriage is considered a beloved act in the eyes of Allah,” he said. “It filters out unnecessary distractions. When you’re single, there are a million pointless people around you, but after marriage, they just disappear. It’s like Allah clears the path and leaves behind only the genuine ones.”

    The Maula Jatt actor also opened up about proposing to Kubra, not once, but twice. “She said no the first time,” he admitted. “Of course, it hurt, but I respected her decision. When I proposed again, she said yes. And that’s when everything started falling into place.”

    Now 40, Gohar emphasized that age should not dictate when one marries, wisdom and readiness should. He encouraged people to prioritise personal and professional growth before stepping into marriage.

    “Marriage should come when you’re emotionally and mentally prepared, not when society expects it,” he advised. “Otherwise, it leads to frustration and blame.”

    The actor described their Makkah ceremony as deeply spiritual and serene, attended only by close friends and family. Following the nikkah in February 2025, in Saudi Arabia, the couple hosted grand wedding celebrations in Pakistan.

    The entire cast and crew of Sher was also present.

    She also thanked her husband, Falak Shabbir, calling him her biggest support system, and paid tribute to fans for making Sher a success. “You’re the real reason the roar gets louder each time!”

  • Feroze Khan says account was hacked after deleted Instagram story asked his wife not to return home

    Feroze Khan says account was hacked after deleted Instagram story asked his wife not to return home

    Pakistani actor Feroze Khan, no stranger to public controversy, has once again found himself in the spotlight after an Instagram post announcing the end of his marriage to Dr. Zainab went viral only to be deleted shortly afterwards, with the actor claiming his account was hacked.

    The now-deleted post, which circulated widely on social media before its removal, accused Dr. Zainab of blackmail and psychological pressure, stating, “I’m simply forced and blackmailed to be in a relationship… After my mother was abused and so was my sister the relationship died for me.” The post further alleged attempts to alienate Khan from his family and children, ending with a dramatic appeal: “Don’t come back home, thank you… I am sure my fans would trust me.”

    However, in a follow-up, Khan denied authoring the statement, claiming his account had been compromised. “Was hacked.”

    This latest incident adds to a growing list of personal controversies involving the Khaani star. In 2022, Khan’s high-profile divorce from his former wife Alizey Sultan made headlines, particularly after she accused him of domestic abuse. Khan has consistently denied the claims.

    Despite the backlash, Khan maintained a steady presence in the entertainment industry, appearing in multiple hit dramas and films, often portraying intense or conflicted characters, with viewers fixed on the mirroring of his increasingly volatile off-screen persona.

    In recent years, the actor has also been embroiled in disputes with fellow celebrities, including a public spat with singer Muneeb Butt and superstar Hania Aamir, who have called out his alleged toxic behavior.

    The latest controversy has again raised questions about Khan’s personal life. In the alleged post, he admitted to seeking mental health treatment and taking medication, saying what’s “killing me is someone is making me look like an a**hole to my own people.”

    Neither Dr. Zainab nor her representatives have publicly responded to the accusations or the hacking claim. Social media, meanwhile, remains flooded with speculation, with fans and critics weighing in on the actor’s turbulent personal life.

  • Sanam Jung turned down soap ad because she doesn’t like ‘showing shoulders’

    Sanam Jung turned down soap ad because she doesn’t like ‘showing shoulders’

    Actress and television host Sanam Jung recently revealed that she declined a major endorsement deal with a popular soap brand because she was uncomfortable with the nature of the advertisement.

    In a candid conversation on the comedy talk show Hansna Mana Hai, Sanam opened up about the personal boundaries she’s maintained throughout her career, especially when it comes to her on-screen appearance.

    “When I first entered the industry, I made a conscious decision not to appear in soap commercials,” Sanam shared. “Most of them require showing your shoulders, and even though the setup just pretends that the actor is bathing, it still gives off that impression. Personally, I don’t like that.”

    She further elaborated on an early opportunity she turned down from a well-known brand. “When I received an offer from a very big soap brand, I told my manager that it didn’t feel right to me,” she said. “My manager replied, ‘If you keep saying no to everything, you won’t be able to grow in this field.’”

    Despite the industry pressure, Sanam stood her ground. “Everyone has their own values and principles. I believe we should hold on to them,” she said. “Even today, I only take on projects that feel right to me.”

    Apart from her professional choices, the actress also shared a humorous yet terrifying travel anecdote from a recent trip with her daughters. Recalling the incident, Sanam said she was rushing through Doha airport with her daughters, aged eight and one, fearing they might miss their flight to Karachi.

    “I was running with my younger daughter in my arms when I tripped on a tile and fell in the most dramatic, filmi way,” she laughed. “The baby fell out of my arms too, it was a scary moment.”

    Fortunately, two fellow travelers came to her aid. “They asked me where I was going and when I told them, they said, ‘There’s still time for the flight, why were you running?’ What could I say? I just have this fear that the gate will close and I’ll be left behind.”

    Sanam Jung is married to Syed Abdul Qassam Jafri, who works as a pilot for an international airline. The couple are parents to two daughters.
