Aamina Sheikh, known for her exceptional acting talent, is not only celebrated for her compelling performances but also for her unwavering commitment to promoting arts and culture. During an interview with MomKast, Aamina Sheikh talked about that she planned to put her career on hold and focus only on her children.
Aamina said, “I would shoot a scene and I would nurse my daughter in between then I would go back to shooting, Nursing is such a big commitment on your body, so I wasn’t getting any break by feeding in between scenes, I was basically running a double shift.”
“After that, obviously her schooling and her routine became a priority. I also had to face some other challenges in life due to which I had to put my work aside and figure out the way forward, for myself and for my child, hence my move to Dubai.” Sheikh added. Recalling the difficult decision she had to make as a working mother, Aamina Sheikh shares, “And for a while, I had to choose what takes priority here? My child, and her future, or my passion? And I chose her. I took that break. I had to really redesign things and reestablish my family, my ground. I put work on the back burner and Alhumdulliah I could, monetarily speaking, because many women don’t have that option or support in their marriage, or are financially challenged. Well, I had that support from my parents and having worked so much and been so financially mindful all my life.”
After a long break, Aamina Sheikh is making a return to the spotlight with an exciting new project. She will soon be seen in Netflix’s upcoming series Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.

The former national cricket team captain, Shahid Afridi, has said it is unsuitable for the cricket board to bring ‘players face to face to save themselves’.
The former captain told the media, “The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is a father to the players. I have played for the Pakistan team for 20 to 22 years, and there have been many problems during my tenure.”
He said, “Mohsin Naqvi has PCB and Ministry of Interior, so now he should decide to choose a post. If he follows the advice of the Chairman PCB Advisor, then he cannot do anything. The adviser does not know about cricket, so he will not be able to guide him in the right direction.”
Talking about India’s visit to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, “We have been going to the cities of India in difficult situations, and we have played despite the threats, but if you don’t want to come to Pakistan, then don’t come.”

In a move aimed at stimulating economic activity, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has lowered its key policy rate by 100 basis points, bringing it down to 19.5 per cent.
SBP Governor Jameel Ahmad announced the rate cut during a press conference on Monday, highlighting that June 2024 inflation figures were slightly better than expected. He noted that the inflationary effects of the Federal Budget for FY25 aligned with earlier predictions.
Furthermore, Ahmad pointed to an improvement in the external account, evidenced by an increase in the SBP’s foreign exchange reserves despite substantial debt repayments.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) justified the rate reduction by emphasising the room for easing monetary policy while maintaining control over inflation. The MPC believes that despite this reduction, the policy stance remains sufficiently stringent to steer inflation towards the medium-term target of 5–7 per cent.
This policy adjustment comes after Pakistan’s recent agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the announcement of the federal budget.
Market sentiment, as reported by Arif Habib Limited (AHL), anticipated the rate cut, with a poll indicating that 55.7 per cent of respondents expected a reduction. AHL’s report predicted the rate would drop to 19.5 per cent, a level not seen since March 2023.
Additionally, Topline Securities also forecasted a similar reduction, attributing it to receding inflationary pressures.
The decision follows key events including the entry into a new $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme with the IMF and the latest federal budget.
These developments, along with recent improvements in macroeconomic indicators, have influenced the central bank’s move to lower the policy rate.
Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) Vice Emir Pir Zaheerul Hasan Shah was arrested on Monday for inciting violence against the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, Geo News reported.
His arrest came after a case was filed against him for an inflammatory speech targeting the CJP outside the Lahore Press Club during a protest against the SC verdict in the Mubarak Sani case.
In February 2024, in the Mubarak Sani case the Supreme Court ruled that Ahmadis, while declared non-Muslims, retain the right to profess and proliferate their religion.
TLP, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S), Mili Yakjehti Council Pakistan (MYC) and Wafaqul Madaris-ul-Arabiya (WMA) voiced severe opposition to the court’s verdict in this case.
Pir Zaheerul Hasan Shah had gone in hiding in Okara but he was arrested, while his FIR includes provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act amongst others.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated, “The state will not allow anyone to issue a fatwa calling for someone’s murder.”
“There has been malicious propaganda about the chief justice and he has been targeted for a long time,” said the federal minister.
Former Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood recently appeared on senior journalist Mansoor Ali Khan’s podcast where Mahmood stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) narrative about US conspiracy in Khan’s ouster from power in 2022 was “not true at all.”
Khan asked the PTI leader whether the US was behind PTI’s removal from government, to which Mahmood replied, “They didn’t do anything at all. In politics, you have to make a lot of narratives; not all of them are hundred per cent true.”
Shocked at his reply, the journalist said, “Sir, this is a lie you told.” Shafqat Mahmood replied, “You can call it a lie or it’s just politics.”
In 2022, the founder of PTI, Imran Khan, alleged that the US conspired against his government in the infamous “cipher”, which, according to Khan, was the evidence of the conspiracy.

Sheheryar Munawar, known for his powerful performances in dramas like Pehli Si Muhabbat and Kuch Ankahi, talked about domestic violence and the man-angle. During an interview with Fuchsia Magazine, Sheheryar said, “Parents teach children to be brave, not to cry, and never to show weakness. But after marriage, wives often don’t let husbands express their emotions. They say things like, If you lose your job, just start another business quickly. When men are told not to feel pain or cry, they become very harsh, leading to domestic violence.”
Talking about the psychological effects of societal pressure on men Radd actor said, “When men are burdened with numerous responsibilities and aren’t given the chance to express their emotions, it leads to issues in their personalities. In our society, there are many women who inflict forms of oppression on men that we can’t even imagine.” Sheheryar Munwar is currently starring in Radd, which comes on ARY Digital.
