Episode 12 of ‘Zard Patton Ka Bunn’ tries to highlight the beautiful relationship between Meenu, played by Sajal Aly and her father, played by Syed Tanveer Hussain. Even when Meenu gets into trouble, her father stands up for her and shows he is on her side. And that is where the episode gets very weird.
When Meenu notices Dr. Nofil struggling to get a signal in the village, she comes up with a creative solution. She builds a ladder leading up to a tree, allowing Dr. Nofil to climb up and get better reception. In episode 12, Meenu’s good deed was overshadowed by a dispute with village children.
While passing by the tree one day, she spots kids climbing the ladder and orders them to come down. But when they refuse, Meenu loses her temper and starts hitting them. A group of people go towards Meenu’s home after the incident to confront her.
Meenu’s father stands up for her even though she has done something wrong and he tells his daughter not to worry and that he’s always there for her. This makes Meenu feel safe and strong.
The angle the story has taken is questionable. A father’s love for his daughter can be depicted without showing violence on children. Meenu comes across as petulant and frankly, a very negative character. Her father’s love seems more like an unwillingness to accept his daughter’s fault.
Zard Patton Ka Bunn is written by Mustafa Afridi and directed by Saife Hassan, and it’s a collaboration production of Kashf Foundation & Momina Duraid Productions.
Episode 5 of ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ is winning hearts with its unexpected twists and engaging storyline. The drama features Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir in lead roles.

The episode shows the couples’ different personalities on full display, making for a hilarious and heartwarming start to their new life together.
The main plot of the drama revolves around the concept of opposites attract, where Hania, aka Sharjeena, portrays the role of a bibliophile and class topper with a practical approach, while Fahad’s character is a little laid-back.

Actor Yasir Hussain shared his thoughts on the topic of adult entertainment in Pakistan. During a discussion on the podcast, ‘Excuse Me with Ahmad Ali Butt’Yasir Hussain was asked, “Should there be adult entertainment in Pakistan?”
Yasir replied “There’s no need to promote adult entertainment. Those who want it will find it anyway. Pakistan ranks among the top countries for watching porn, often competing with Saudi Arabia for the top spot. It’s shameful, but true. Large surveys don’t lie, this is happening. So, why not legalise it and let the government and people make money from it? He firmly stated, “I don’t want to be a part of it, I don’t want to watch or promote adult content.”
While talking about content, which Yasir likes to watch, he said, “I want to watch Punjab’s juggat (a form of comedy), I want to watch Amanullah, Sohail Ahmed, Iftikhar Thakur, Honey Albela, and Sahawat Naz’s content.”
Yasir Hussain has worked in dramas like Badshah Begum, Baandi, and Baaghi. He also worked in films like Karachi Say Lahore, Taxali, and Rabbit.
