    Exclusive: Amin Iqbal reacts to Ali Abbas’ controversial confession about him

    Actor Ali Abbas’ acting career kicked off with director Amin Iqbal’s drama Meri Dulari opposite Yumna Zaidi on Geo TV. He weighed 86 kilos before stepping into TV and lost around 9 kilos to look the part.

    However Ali revealed on Nida Yasir’s morning show that on the first day of his shoot, the veteran director slammed him. According to the Meherposh star, Amin told him that he doesn’t look like a star and will never become one, also that he doesn’t have the qualities in him to be a leading hero. This incident dampened his confidence.

    Now in an exclusive interview with The Current while promoting his movie Rehbra, Amin Iqbal responded to Ali’s allegations. The Ishq-e-Laa maker said, “The judgement could be wrong at times as I am a human too but whatever I have said about someone, it has become true. There is a difference between being a star and being an actor.

    “I have introduced artists like Yumna Zaidi, Saba Qamar and Sameer Sohail from Lahore to the showbiz fraternity, even recently when I casted Azaan Sami Khan in Ishq-e-Laa, people scrutinised his casting in the play but respect and disrespect is in the hands of God.”

    “I know his father and grandfather personally and have had good terms with him.”

    Iqbal concluded by saying that now that Ali is in a better space career wise, it could be because of the remarks that Amin gave him early on his career as Abbas must have improved himself after it.

    Earlier this year Abbas appreciated his contemporary Ahmed Ali Akbar in an interview with Maliha Rehman.

    The Mere Apnay star stated that Ahmad has given a superlative performance in Parizaad and it makes him happy that underrated actors like him are now getting leading roles in mainstream projects.

    He added that at the time of Ehd-e-Wafa there was noise about him being sidelined in the play which starred bigger names like Ahad Raza Mir and Osman Khalid Butt alongside him.

    Ehd-e-Wafa emerged as a blockbuster in 2020 and starred an ensemble cast.

    The Fitrat star mentioned that he is the biggest fan of Naumaan Ijaz and takes inspiration from him while performing, especially from his performance in Mera Saeen.

    Raising a very important question on Twitter, Zara said: “And had this been a man slapping a woman and abusing her on a talk show. What would have we done to him?”

    Zara further wrote: “But now it’s a man! What will we do now? Please don’t let the abuser get by. Man or woman!”

    The incident occurred when the two appeared on Express News’ talk show, Kal Tak, hosted by Javed Chaudhry. What started as a discussion about the government’s performance and excessive load shedding in parts of the country, turned into a shouting match between the two over the recent train collision in Sindh’s Ghotki district which claimed the lives of more than 60 people.

    Insights: Fawad-Sanam wrap up Zee5’s ‘supernatural fantasy with a family reunion’

    Actors Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed have reunited for a Zee5 show 10 years after Zindagi Gulzar Hai that pushed the duo to superstardom in Pakistan.

    Their yet-to-be-titled web-series has just wrapped up filming. Their project is being helmed by Asim Abbasi, who also directed Churails and feature film Cake.

    Fawad Khan Sanam Saeed

    According to Variety, the show is a blend of magical realism and supernatural fantasy with a family reunion. Humsafar actor Khan is seen in a role of a single parent who tries to be the father that his own father wasn’t. Saeed, who recently starred in Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam, bears otherworldly secrets in the show and takes it upon herself to heal and bring everyone together.

    The pair posted some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot a few months ago. Khan had described the story as a “genre-bending saga of familial traumas and reconciliations, a tale of love and loss set in a world of magic and mystique.”

    The series, which blends magical realism and supernatural fantasy with a family reunion, is helmed by critically acclaimed director Asim Abbasi who also directed Zindagi’s first Pakistani original “Churails” and the feature film “Cake.”

    Khan plays a single parent who, with his son, tries to be every bit the father his own father wasn’t. Saeed plays the central female character in the series. Harbouring otherworldly secrets, she takes it upon herself to heal, and make whole, everyone who surrounds her.

    The series was shot on location in Karachi and the picturesque Hunza valley.

    “This is a very personal project for me. The shoot which spanned over five months has been the most challenging experience of my life but also the most rewarding,” Abbasi said. “The ensemble have done a beautiful job, and given some career best performances. While we have had many eventful days shooting for the series, the last day of the shoot was particularly action-packed. I remember the car we were supposed to shoot with didn’t work, so we used my personal car instead. During the shot, Fawad really had to burn the rubber, as he had to do a u-turn on a single lane road. It was a perfect shot but now I need new tyres.”

    ‘My mother doesn’t know that Sumbal passed away’: Bushra Ansari makes shocking revelations

    Veteran actor Bushra Ansari appeared on Waseem Badami’s show Har Lamha Purjosh on which she made some revelations about her sister Sumbal’s death.

    Bushra revealed that they still haven’t informed their mother about Sumbal’s death because she is too old, she might not be able to handle the truth. She also mentioned that they have told their mother that Sumbal is in America and the Mera Naseeb actor often pretends to be Sumbal and talks to their mother on the phone.

    Pakistan’s veteran actress Sumbal Shahid passed away due to Covid-19. According to the Pardes star, Sumbal tested covid positive, and was undergoing treatment in a hospital in Lahore where she was placed on a ventilator.

    The star graced in many dramas like Malika-e-Aliya, Ishqaaway and Takay Ki Ayegi Baraat.

    She was best known for her work in Golden Girls and was widely popular for her role in Dolly Ki Ayegi Baraat.

    Her last appearance was in the drama Nand with Shahroz Shabzwari and Minal Khan.

    It is pertinent to mention that Sumbul’s son Shiraz too passed away a year ago in a paragliding accident in Chitral. 

    Earlier in July 2021, she took to Instagram to share her response on the backlash from netizens over dancing with Azaan Sami Khan at a wedding, “I was in a deep grief from last 3 months and that loss is going to be in our hearts till our last breathe. Two days ago it was a family dholki and all my friends were there insisting me to get out of the stress and my sadness.”

    The Biquis Kaur star added, “But sad to see people’s reaction, they just want to see us unhappy because we are famous and specially when somebody is over a certain age, how pathetic. I am telling you this is the best age to enjoy life when you are done with all your duties and Alhamdullillah I have achieved so much in this age I don’t have any regrets if I am over 60”.

    She continued by mentioning, “So this is a cheap weapon of telling elders that you are old and you have no right to be happy, why not ? I don’t understand why young kids feel insecure of older people,” the actress stated further. I m not answerable to any faceless troll because they never leave any one even after wearing hijab, so stop hurting people it’s also not allowed in Islam.
