    Action to be taken against Saba Qamar, Bilal Saeed for shooting video inside Masjid Wazir Khan

    Though Saba and Bilal in the caption clarified that “this is also the only sequence that was shot at the historical Wazir Khan Mosque” and is a prologue to the music video, the teaser did not go down well with the audiences who called out the actor and singer for hurting religious sentiments.

    “The BTS video that’s making rounds on social media was just a circular movement to click stills for the poster of ‘Qubool’ depicting a happily married couple right after their Nikah. Hurting or offending anyone or being disrespectful to a holy place is as unimaginable and unacceptable for me as for any decent human being.”

    “Despite this, if we have unknowingly hurt anyone’s sentiments we apologise to you all with all our heart,” they added in their post.

    Later, spokesperson of the Punjab Government Mashwani Azhar said that an inquiry has been ordered into the matter and strict action will be taken against those involved in allowing the video to be shot in the Masjid and those who violated the terms of the NOC. Azhar even attached the notification in his tweet.

    “Secretary Aquaf Govt of Punjab has already ordered DG Auqaf to conduct an inquiry of the Masjid Wazir Khan matter where private company shooting Saba Qamar, Bilal Saeed video violated terms of NOC, agreed with the administration,” wrote Azhar on Twitter.

    Pakistani celebrities express shock over Beirut blast, extend prayers to those affected

    Two enormous explosions ripped through Beirut’s port on Tuesday, wrecking buildings across the Lebanese capital. The explosions — which were heard in Nicosia, 240 kilometres (150 miles) away in Cyprus — were logged by seismologists, registering as the equivalent of a 3.3-magnitude earthquake. According to the Lebanese Red Cross, more than 100 people have been killed while over 4,000 have been injured.

    “Until now over 4,000 people have been injured and over 100 have lost their lives. Our teams are still conducting search and rescue operations in the surrounding areas,” a statement said.

    Following the devastating incident, Pakistani celebrities including Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Mehwish Hayat, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Saba Qamar and Asim Azhar extended their prayers to those affected by the tragedy.

    Prime Minister Imran Khan also said that he was “deeply pained to hear” of the incident.

    Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed just said ‘Qubool Hai’

    Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed have left fans confused with their latest post.

    Sharing a picture of themselves at Wazir Khan Masjid, Lahore, Saba and Bilal wrote, “Qubool Hai” in the caption without going into further details.

    Under their posts, confused fans expressed their shock, while others sent them best wishes.

    However, some followers speculated that the picture is from Saba and Bilal’s upcoming music video. The award-winning singer was earlier spotted at Saba’s house where he treated those present to a live performance. Saba’s manager Meshal Cheema had shared a video of Bilal singing with the caption ‘Any idea what’s cooking?’ hinting that the two are working together on a project.

    Moreso, a few hours before Saba posted the picture of herself and Bilal, Meshal shared a picture of the actor on her Instagram stories, saying “News has it that you’re directing a new music video releasing soon and also acting in it.”

    While Saba and Bilal might not have given it away, Meshal certainly did. But we have to admit, when we first saw Saba’s post, we almost fell off the chair. Given the rate at which celebrity weddings are happening, this wouldn’t have been entirely unbelievable.

    Earlier in the day, Saba celebrated 200k subscribers on YouTube while Bilal announced that he has sent clothing brand So Kamal a legal notice for copyright infringement and using his song Baari without permission.

    Yasir Hussain is angry with QMobile for appointing Esra Bilgiç as brand ambassador

    Ever since Diriliş: Ertuğrul started airing in Pakistan, it has taken over the country by storm. The Turkish historical series has a cult following in the country and fans have been very excited since the cast expressed their wish to visit Pakistan. Esra Bilgiç who plays Halime Sultan in the series is particularly a favourite and the actor had earlier revealed that she will be endorsing three Pakistani brands. 

    One of them appears to be mobile company QMobile, who have announced that Esra will be the brand ambassador for their View Max Pro series.

    Following their announcement, Yasir Hussain, who has been very critical of the government’s decision to air the drama on PTV, expressed his anger and disappointment over QMobile’s decision, saying: “Apko nahi lagta k Pakistan brand ki brand ambassador bhi Pakistani honi chahiye? Na Indian na Turkish? Pakistan Zindabad (Don’t you think Pakistani brands should have Pakistani brand ambassadors? Neither Turkish nor Indian).

    The actor questioned why Pakistani actors like like Mahira Khan , Saba Qamar, Yumna Zaidi, Hira Mani cannot be brand ambassadors.

    He added that he is not including his wife Iqra Aziz’s name in the list because she is already a brand ambassador for a mobile phone company.

    Aiman Khan and Minal Khan also supported Yasir’s point of view.

    Back when things were cordial between India and Pakistan, Pakistani artists had also criticised local brands for featuring Bollywood stars in their campaigns.

  • Asim Azhar receives hate for featuring Tiktok star in new song

    Asim Azhar receives hate for featuring Tiktok star in new song

    Asim Azhar’s upcoming song Tum Tum has already created waves before it even released. The reason for this is because Tiktok star Areeka Haq is featuring in the song. Asim’s fans were disappointed with him for including the Tiktoker and sent a lot of hate his way. It is pertinent to mention here that Haq has more than a million fans on Instagram.

    Following the backlash on social media, Asim responded by tweeting:

    Meanwhile, several celebrities including Saba Qamar, Yasir Hussain, Hania Aamir and Zara Noor Abbas extended their support to the singer and Tiktok star and requested people to stop spreading unnecessary hate and learn to respect each other.

    “Please be kind towards each other,” asserted Saba. “Learn to support each other. Don’t make these beautiful, young talented people depressed with hate comments and trolls because you have no idea how harsh and unkind it is.”

    Saba Qamar

    Yasir said that Tiktok has more talent than television and that Asim featured Haq because of her talent.

    “We all need to grow up,” remarked Hussain.

  • Saba Qamar is winning the internet with her latest video

    Saba Qamar is winning the internet with her latest video

    Saba Qamar just dropped another video on her YouTube channel and people cannot get enough of her unfiltered sass. Titled The Chay Show featuring Saba Qamar, the episode shows Saba being interviewed by makeup artist Shoaib Khan, dressed up as Suhail Warraich.

    During the episode, Saba answers some of the most asked questions from female celebrities. She is witty and unfiltered with her responses which is why the episode has been much appreciated on social media.

    For example, when the host asks Saba if she has done a lot of romance in real life like on-screen, Saba replies, “Kaisi baat kar rahe hain. Islamic Republic of Pakistan main aurat romance nahi karti, bachay aasmano say girtay hain (Women don’t romance in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Children fall from the skies).”

    Later when he asks how many people Saba has dated, Saba said, “Aap hee bata dein. Aap behatar jaante honge.” When the host insists she answer, Saba launched a tirade saying: “Since a young age, girls are taught that it is better to die than to leave the first man in your life. This one sentence also ruined eight years of my life! He used to lie, misbehave, assault, and later apologise. Because commitment and marriage were the same for me, I kept going on for eight years thinking ‘it’ll get better’ but he didn’t get better, in fact, he ruined my mind!”

    She further said that he later went and got married to someone in his family.

    This answer, in particular, was lauded by Twitter users.

    Saba Qamar shares her fondest memory with Irrfan Khan

    Saba Qamar, who had the honour of working with Irrfan Khan in the film Hindi Medium, in a recent interview opened up on her time with the actor on set and shared that he sang a song for her the first time they met.

    “I’ve learned a lot from Irrfan,” said Saba. “Working with him was nothing less than a fan moment for me throughout. As an actor, I believe that acting is actually behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances. And I actually saw that in him.”

    Saba said that her on-set memories with the late actor were all about “fun conversations.”

    “There was never a dull moment when he was around. We used to crack jokes with each other all the time. He always used to make me learn new things and give pro tips on life,” she said, adding that he was also very philosophical.

    Recalling one her fondest memories with him, Saba shared that on their first meeting, Irrfan sang a song for her.

    “When I entered the room where he was sitting, he started singing the song Badan Pe Sitaray…for me. I’ll always cherish the entire time I’ve spent with him.”

    Saba further said that she wished that “things were better between our countries.”

    “I am of the belief that acting is a form of blended art that shouldn’t be restricted to a particular type or even a country. It should be assorted in such a way that even we enjoy it and so do our fans and audiences. It is this assortment which I miss. I’d love to do more movies for my fans if I get any opportunity.”

  • Money Heist’s Pakistani lookalikes you won’t believe

    The Netflix series has been trending in Pakistan and was number one when part four came out. It was even bigger this time since this year it included invaluable help from Pakistanis for the rebellious gang. Every Pakistani fan was so excited to have Pakistan be a part of the revolution and the joy hasn’t died down yet.

    So we had to ask? Doesn’t every single major character in the show look like a Pakistani actor? Don’t believe us? Here we go:

    We have to begin with the Professor because we love him. And who better to play him than the distinguished Fawad Khan, who keeps his cool, deals with so many people and always looks like he has a plan. Moreover, with a beard and glasses, you can barely tell the two apart.

    Monika is everyone’s hot favourite this season and there is literally no difference between her and Ayeza Khan; and after seeing her stellar, strong performance in Meray Paas Tum Ho we all know that Ayeza can totally pull the role off.

    Rio’s innocence can only be replicated by Shehroz Sabzwari. He might not act well enough to be Rio but he’s definitely got the look.

    We literally couldn’t tell these two apart. Meesha definitely has the looks, and the fire, to play the rebellious Tokyo.

    Dashing and smooth? Adnan Siddiqui is the top search result for Berlin.

    Fire, spunk and the guts to take the police and government on, Nausheen Shah is the perfect fit for Raquel.

    Our favourite, our warrior and the star of this season, Nairobi, could only be played by the impeccable Saba Qamar.

    Did you think we could actually forget Denver? No way! We can’t forget how similar Ali Rehman Khan looks to this conflicted and emotional character.

    Even though our beloved Humayun Saeed didn’t make the final cut, we all remember the time when rumours began that he was a part of part four.
