The Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah writer Fasih Bari Khan recently appeared in Wo Wala Show and made shocking revelations about 7 Din Mohabbat in. He also revealed that Mahira Khan and Sheheryar Munawar were not his first choices for the film.
The writer, who has a reputation of creating unusual hits with his knack for storytelling revealed that it was the miscasting in 7 Din Mohabbat In which spoiled the humour, turning it into a blunder.
According to Fasih, he always had a bubbly actor, especially Sajal Aly in mind for the role that landed into the Raees diva’s lap. He said: “Mahira is a good actor but the character was not for her. I always had Sajal in mind while writing the character. For the male lead, I had someone like Mohib Mirza in my mind but then that couldn’t happen as well.”
The writer had to change the script on demand and hence the story went haywire.
Known for his unique humour and satire, he stated that if he went on working on a film in the future, he would make sure he does it independently to save his film from tanking at the box office.
The Ghisi Piti Mohabbat writer claimed it was the makers who brought Mahira and Sheheryar on board.
Superstar Mahria Khan took to her Instagram handle to share the poster of her upcoming short film Prince Charming. The web film also features Zahid Ahmed and is the directorial debut of actor Sheheryar Munawar.
The Parey Hut love actor described the short film’s plot as, “It’s a story of Shehrezad. A girl who grew up dreaming of a Prince Charming, Promised by the society, loved ones, the books she read and that’s her only wish.”
Superstar actresses showered Mahira and team with love and appreciation on social media including Ayeza Khan, Sajal Aly, Saba Qamar, Yumna Zaidi, Ayesha Omar, Humaima Malick and Sakina Samo.
The short film will be available for streaming on ‘See Prime’ soon.
Actor Zahid Ahmed posted a behind the scenes image from the wrap up day of his short film with Mahira Khan. Soon digital portals circulated the picture, which gained backlash for the Raees diva as some netizens passed agiest remarks, looking her in a de-glam avatar.
Bulbulay star Ayesha Omar was quick to defend her colleague against the ageist trolls. Ayesha dropped multiple comments on the post.

This is the first time that Humsafar’s Mahira and Daldal‘s Zahid are teaming up together.
On the work front, Mahira will be seen next in HUM TV’s Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay co-starring Usman Mukhtar and Kubra Khan.

Sheheryar and Mahira have earlier collaborated as actors in 7 din Mohabbat In, Parey Hut Love and Ho Mann Jahan. The team is currently also working on the music for the screenplay.
Sheheryar Munawar’s last big screen venture, Parey Hut Love did well at the box office and also got the actor impressive reviews for his performance in the Asim Raza directorial.
Not many know that after Sheheryar’s dramas broadcasted in India including Zindagi Gulzar Haiand Kahi Un Kahi, he was offered two Bollywood movies, his first offer being the Kareena Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor starrer Veere Di Wedding which got delayed due to Kareena’s pregnancy.
The second feature film that he was approached for is the 2017’s Raabta headlined by Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon but he turned it down as he was offered the antagonist’s role which was later bagged by the Padmaavat fame Jim Sarbh. The casting director of the film, Mukesh Chhabra even got angry on him for refusing the part.
Sheheryar has confessed the same in multiple interviews. The talented hero is being seen currently in Anjum Shahzad’s Pehli Si Muhabbat.

American sitcom Friends is amongst the most viewed television shows of all time. Being a blockbuster series, it lasted for ten seasons and enjoyed worldwide viewership with multiple re-telecasts. The series is currently available on Netflix and has a significant viewership in Pakistan. It revolves around the bonding and regular life routines of six friends in their thirties.
If a local producer decides to buy its copy rights and remake it with a Pakistani cast, Here’s the ideal leading cast:
Rachel Green – Mahira Khan
Rachel is a beautiful fashion enthusiast with an inconsistent love life, she became a rage in pop culture for her dressing sense and hairstyles. Mahira has it in her to essay a role like this going by her great sense of fashion and her impeccable looks making her the right choice for the role.
Ross Geller – Fawad Khan
Ross is a suave paleontologist with three failed marriages and an interest in philosophical conversations which his friends don’t find intriguing. Ross is Monica’s elder brother and Rachel’s on and off love interest.
Joey Tribbiani – Sheheryar Munawar
Joey is a struggling actor and a foodie with flirtatious traits, Sheheryar has played similar roles in his films like Ho Mann Jahan. The Parey Hut Love actor has the charm to pull of this iconic character.
Phoebe Buffay – Saba Qamar
Phoebe is the funniest of the lot with a heart of gold and a failed music career. Saba displayed her comic histrionics on Hum sub umeed se hain and Miss Fire, giving us assurance about a promising comic timing on celluloid.
Monica Geller- Mehwish Hayat
Monica had elements of a bossy, competitive, and obsessive-compulsive nature who wants things to be perfect but still manages to choose the wrong men for herself except for Chandler. Monica is stylish and has the ability of binding the group together.
Chandler – Fahad Mustafa
Chandler is the guy who can make you laugh and can effortlessly confuse you with his sarcasm. Fahad Mustafa is an apt choice for this role going by his performances in Na Maloom Afrad series and Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 which showcased his convincing witty performances.
Sheheryar Munawar has opened up about his struggles and shared some shocking revelations about his first play’s shoot Zindagi Gulzar Hai in a recent interview.
In conversation with Something Haute, Munawar said that his experience of working on the hit HUM TV drama was ‘terrible’. In fact, he thinks it’s his worst performance ever.
When he was asked about his bitter experience, the Parey Hut Luv star revealed that it was due to the absence of a mentor despite him being Sultana Siddiqui’s nephew.
Moreover, he also shared that there was nobody to teach him how to convey his lines or understand the character. Even his co-stars were of no help.
Speaking of Fawad Khan, the main lead of the drama, Sheheryar said he was tough on him and that made his overall experience more bitter.
“Fawad was straight out of Humsafar and I was just a newbie. The fact that I was the nephew of the director also contributed to it. He was tough on me. He wasn’t a bully like the ones we see on television, but he was hard on me.”
“That was a very tough one and a half month,” he added.
But they are on good terms now. He respects Fawad as a senior actor and he has also made his cameo in two of Sheheryar’s films.
He further said that the actors weren’t helpful either. Sheheryar was only a student when he was offered the role of Osama in Zindagi Gulzar Hai and didn’t know anything about the reel life.
While Israel continues to commit atrocities against Palestine and Palestinians despite a ceasefire, many people, including Mark Ruffalo and Gigi Hadid who initially called out Israel for committing war crimes and genocide, have now steered the debate towards Antisemitism, urging people to stop harassing Jews for what Israel is doing. Furthermore, Minister for Foreign Affairs Shah Mahmood Qureshi was also labelled anti-Semitic by CNN journalist Bianna Golodryga after he accused Israel of having “deep pockets”.
Following the brouhaha, Sheheryar Munawar, while sharing his thoughts on the matter, commented: “When reputable foreign media agencies quote more than 200 ‘dead’ (How? Did they one day just internally combust?) and, on the contrary, 12 Israelis ‘killed’, it proves Israel either has deep pockets or has Professor Xavier on their pay roll controlling minds.”
“Or maybe ‘credible’ journalists choose to bring in their own personal biases when reporting on the region (which could count as what racist? No wait, there’s no word for it – it’s known as Islamophobia which in itself justifies the act by using fear as reasoning and takes blame away from the one committing it – wow),” continued the actor.
Munawar further said: “Either way how does stating facts make one anti-Semitic? Does saying Arabs have a lot of oil money make you…umm wait, yeah no word for it…for the sake of argument, Islamophobic?”
In a separate note, the actor explained: “There’s a difference between anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist. Just as every Muslim is not a Taliban, every Jew is not Zionist.”
Munawar further said: “Am I or can the narrative from this side be called anti-Zionist? Yes! But we anti-Zionist because we are anti-fundamentalism, whether Muslim or Jewish.”
Agreeing with Qureshi’s “deep pockets” remark, Sheheryar said: “But when Jewish toxic fundamentalism is backed by $3.8 billion dollars of US Military funding (sponsored by US tax payer money), then I have no qualms about calling a wolf a wolf specially when it doesn’t even have the courtesy to at least try and hide in sheep’s clothing.”
Meanwhile, Hania Aamir called out a local media outlet for “yellow journalism” and portraying Qureshi in negative light.
“Please choose your captions wisely. Other aspects of the interview could have been highlighted but you chose to highlight the one that portrays the only official Muslim representative who is being vocal about the genocide and calling a spade a spade in a negative light,” said Aamir, adding: “Also at a time when bringing about change on a matter of grave concern – terrorism, settler colonialism etc – is relying on social media you need to show a bit more responsibility.”
“Yellow journalism will be called out. Goes for all other publications. Please use your words wisely and realise your responsibility,” asserted Hania.
Protests in solidarity with the people of Palestine were held in several cities yesterday, including Karachi. Mahira Khan, Sheheryar Munawar, Anoushay Ashraf, Faysal Quraishi, Mansha Pasha, Ayesha Omar, Sanam Jung and Hania Amir were spotted amongst other celebrities there.
Have a look at some pictures from the protest:
At least 227 Palestinians, including 64 children, have been killed in 11 days due to Israeli attacks.
