    ‘Wanted Sajal and Mohib, worst experience’: Fasih Bari Khan makes shocking revelations about ‘7 Din Mohabbat In’

    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.

    Thinking of retiring from politics if no one bothers me: Sheikh Rasheed

    Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that he is thinking of retiring from politics.

    While speaking to journalist Waseem Abbasi, Sheikh Rasheed said Interior Ministry is a challenging ministry and mentally he is thinking of retiring now.

    “Every day there is an incident in this ministry. It is a sensitive ministry. Security is involved. The Railways Ministry was a normal ministry. But here the work pressure extends to 18 hours a day,” said Sheikh.

    When asked will he be contesting in the next general elections, Sheikh Rasheed responded, “If no one bothers me, I will not be contesting in the next general elections. Two years are left [for the elections] to happen, so I am of the view that I should retire.”

    According to Rasheed, he was not going to contest the 2018 elections, but when Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif said that “I (Sheikh Rasheed) will not be in the next assembly, I just had to contest.”

    Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad Mohammad Hamza Shafqaat has said that the complaint regarding the incident of a cat hanging in a house is ‘fake’.
    

    “Complaint regarding cat incident turned out to be fake after investigation,” DC Islamabad wrote in a tweet.

    Earlier, the police arrested former bureaucrat, Abdul Qayyum, after a dead cat was found hanging in his house located in Bahira Town. He was later released.
    

    The accused denied the accusations but the police suspected the statement given by the accused is false, adding: “Cats are not usually found with ropes around their neck.”

    Shehbaz’s remarks about a national govt are his personal views: PML-N
    
			
    Shehbaz’s remarks about a national govt are his personal views: PML-N
    
			
    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks about the formation of a national government have stirred up a political debate in the country, reported Dawn.
    

    PML-N termed the party president’s views as passing remarks based on his personal opinion about a post-election scenario.
    

    “PML-N president and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif made a passing remark that if the people of Pakistan by the grace of God Almighty gave the PML-N the responsibility to govern again after the next elections, in his personal view he would not mind inviting other political parties, excluding the PTI, to contribute towards solving the massive crisis created by the Imran Khan government over their disastrous tenure in government,” said Marriyum Aurangzeb in a brief statement.
    

    “Any news item carried by any news media stating otherwise is a misrepresentation of what the PML-N president said,” she added.
    

    Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) described the statement as clear proof that the Pakistan Democratic Move­ment (PDM) no more exists. The PPP believed it was an effort by the PML-N leader to keep himself “politically alive”.
    

    Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said that Sharif’s proposal of a national government was “a bid to save his own skin”.
    

    Sharif, while speaking to journalists in Karachi said, “Frankly, I am telling you that sometimes when I look at these huge problems and challenges, I feel convinced that it’s not possible for one party alone [to fix them],” he had said, adding: “It needs collective wisdom. It requires collective efforts. That’s why I think we should have a national government in place to sort out these huge tasks. I don’t know what the exact shape of this idea would be and the right time may make things clearer but for me it’s crucial. Even if we [PML-N] win a majority, we can’t fix it alone.”

    Taliban secretly escorted Americans to Kabul Airport in deal with US
    
			
    Taliban secretly escorted Americans to Kabul Airport in deal with US
    
			
    The US military negotiated a secret arrangement with the Taliban that resulted in members of the militant group escorting clusters of Americans to the gates of the Kabul airport as they sought to escape Afghanistan, two defence officials told CNN.
    

    One of the officials also revealed that US special operations forces set up a “secret gate” at the airport and established “call centres” to guide Americans through the evacuation process. One of the military officials said the arrangement with the Taliban “worked beautifully”.
    

    Americans involved in an unofficial network dedicated to helping Americans and vulnerable Afghans said there were problems — particularly in the beginning — as the Taliban turned away US citizens and legal permanent residents the militant group was supposed to allow through.
    

    The two US defence officials said Americans were notified to gather at pre-set “muster points” close to the airport where the Taliban would check their credentials and take them a short distance to a gate manned by American forces who were standing by to let them inside amid huge crowds of Afghans seeking to flee. The US troops were able to see the Americans approach with their Taliban escorts as they progressed through the crowds, presumably ready to intervene in case anything happened.

    ‘World’s largest’ Holy Quran to be showcased in Dubai by Pakistani artist
    
			
    ‘World’s largest’ Holy Quran to be showcased in Dubai by Pakistani artist
    
			
    A part of the world’s largest Quran made by a Pakistani artist will be showcased at Dubai Expo 2020 which will start in October this year, Khaleej Times reported Tuesday.
    

    Traditionally, the Quran is inscribed on cloth, paper or leather.
    

    But a Pakistani artist, who is also a former UAE expat, used aluminium and gold-plated words on a high quality canvas — for the first time.
    

    The inscription on aluminium is the first in more than 1,400 years of Islamic history.
    

    The artist, Shahid Rassam, is being facilitated by a Dubai-based Pakistani businessman, Irfan Mustafa.
    

    Rassam has won many international awards. He started the project five years ago and will be show-casing part of his project at the six-month-long Dubai expo.

    Police set to arrest Ayesha Sana, Non-bailable arrest warrant issued
    
			
    Non-bailable arrest warrants have been issued against Ayesha Sana in a Cyber crime case, as reported by Samaa.
    

    The arrest warrants were issued by sessions court in Lahore over the non-appearance of the Saiqa fame actress in the case. Her ex-husband Yousuf Baig has registered a case against the De Ijazat star for defaming his family on the internet.
    

    He said that Ayesha uploaded material against his wife and daughter on a website that brought shame to his family.
    

    Last year in June, a case was registered against the actress at police station in Lahore on a complaint from a person named Mian Ali Moeen who accused for defrauding him of Rs 20 million and refused to refund the money when he demanded it. 
    

    The female star eventually handed over a cheque for Rs 20 million, which was unable to be processed due to the lack of funds in her bank account.
