    She appeared as a guest on the show Fuchsia, where she  shared the ups and downs of her personal life.

    Ayesha said, “My first husband’s name was ‘Jahanzeb’, and I’ve always maintained it as a memorial to him. We were married for seven years before he passed away, having fallen in love when we were quite young. My first husband had given our children my grandfather’s name. That’s why I decided to keep it. When I remarried, my second husband graciously accepted my decision to keep the name and was happy with my situation as it was.”

    Urwa Hocane wants her husband Farhan Saeed to ‘focus’ on her

    Urwa Hocane, the famous actor who’s now producing films, wants her husband, heartthrob actor-singer Farhan Saeed, to focus on her.
    The two were again chatting playfully in the comments on Farhan’s latest Instagram post.

    When the star of ‘Mere Humsafar’ recently posted a new picture and asked for suggestions in the comments, his loving wife advised him to focus on her.

    Saeed asked in the caption of the two-picture gallery from a recent gig, “This year I should focus on?” Hocane simply commented, “Me,” followed by a series of emojis.

  • ‘Women harassment should be treated as criminal act’: Hamza Ali Abbasi

    Actor and model Hamza Ali Abbasi has raised his voice for women’s rights, insisting that it should be illegal to harass women.

    Recently, he was invited as a guest in ‘Meri Saheli’ show on Samaa TV, the actor participated via video and highlighted the importance of working women for families.

    He said, “I see myself as a proud human because the women in my life—my mother, sister, and wife—work freely and have their own identities and personalities. Empowered working women not only support their families but also bring peace of mind to men.”
    While talking about harassment in offices, he said, “In today’s era, empowered women are also financially supporting their entire families. But the reality is that they also face harassment in the workplace, not only in Pakistan but worldwide. Like men, women in Pakistan are also facing the challenge of lower salaries compared to men.”
    Hamza Ali Abbasi said, “To create a conducive environment for women in our society, we (men) have to play a key role. Whether it’s in the workplace or elsewhere, where women’s rights are being violated, don’t accept such behavior, and raise your voice against it.”

    The actor believes that harassing women should be illegal in order to deter future instances of this kind of behaviour.

    In addition, he stressed that males ought to respect women, work together, see to it that they are safe, understand Islamic principles, and educate themselves on Hazrat Khadijah (RA)

  • Geethika Tiwari’s comment on Feroze Khan’s photo goes viral

    Geethika Tiwari’s comment on Feroze Khan’s photo goes viral

    Indian actor-model Geethika Tiwari left a mysterious comment on the latest photo posted by her co-star, Pakistani heartthrob Feroze Khan.
    Khan shared a new photo on his Instagram on Thursday evening, shirtless, showing off his well-defined abs.

    In the caption, he wrote, “- they wish to be close to me.” The post got over 150k likes and many comments for the superstar. But one comment from his upcoming co-star, Indian actor Geethika Tiwari, caught the attention of social media users.
    She commented, “Abhi tak no no no no chance,” seemingly in response to the caption.

    Earlier, the Indian celebrity praised the ‘Tich Button’ star during a Q&A session with her Instagram followers. Last month, she wrote, “@ferozekhan is a very talented person in the entertainment industry. He captivates audiences effortlessly on both big and small screens with his charm and great acting skills.”

    She received more than 500 questions about Khan. Tiwari added, “Feroze’s kindness and warmth make a lasting impression on everyone he meets.” She ended with, “See you all guys in the theatre soon.”
    It’s worth noting that Feroze Khan and Geethika Tiwari will soon appear together in an upcoming film called ‘Luck Lag Gayi’.

  • Karan Johar slammed for excluding Fawad Khan in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ tribute

    On Friday, Bollywood’s ace producer and director Karan Johar shared pictures from the time he was filming Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in 2016. The pictures showed Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai having fun on set.

    Karan captioned the post with a heartwarming note and wrote, “‘The experience of filming ADHM was one of my best on-set experiences.’” He continued to praise the three actors for their talent and commitment to their roles, writing, “‘Anushka and Ranbir were such a treat to direct… I always wanted to direct Aishwarya and she gave Saba so much dignity, poise, and beauty.’”

    In the same message, Karan talked about how he learned about “the Ranbir process” and came to really respect it. “I got to know and love him as a person and appreciate his detachment from stardom or movie star trappings,” he wrote.
    Right after the Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani director posted the pictures, fans noticed that Fawad Khan’s name wasn’t there in the message, despite him playing a huge role in the movie. They shared their disappointment in the comments.

    An Instagram user commented, “The caption is so beautiful, but not a single line for Fawad? Why, Karan?” Another user wrote, “How smoothly you skipped mentioning Fawad Khan… Surely it wouldn’t have been that damaging? Disappointed here in Lahore.”
    This is not the first time Karan has been controversial when it comes to his professional relationship with Fawad. In 2017, during a session with two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the Student of the Year director subtly hinted that he would not be open to working with Fawad (and presumably other Pakistani artists) in the future.

    “It was a tough time for me. I don’t think I would want to repeat that experience ever,” said Karan when Sharmeen said she hoped to see Fawad directed by him again. Karan continued to say that he wishes Fawad would find the best platform to showcase his talents. “I have great regard for Fawad’s talent. So just like you [Sharmeen], I hope and wish he finds the best platforms because he is a prolific actor.”

    In 2018 on Koffee with Karan, in a game of rapid fire between Sonam Kapoor and her siblings, the former was asked who she pairs well with on screen. When her brother, Harshvardhan, suggested Fawad, Sonam quickly jibed back with, “But Karan sent him back!”
    The statement was met with a look of horror from Karan. He then avoided commenting on the matter and asked Sonam for another name, to which she replied, Salman Khan.

    Pakistani actors have been unofficially barred from acting in Bollywood films since the hard-liner BJP-led government of Narendra Modi took the government.

  • Sharmin Segal hits back at ‘Heeramandi’ criticism

    Sharmin Segal hits back at ‘Heeramandi’ criticism

    Actress Sharmin Segal has talked about how she handles online harassment and criticism of her work in a podcast interview before the web series’ ‘HeeraMandi’ release earlier this month.

    “I feel a lot of pressure, and sometimes it shows in strange ways. But I have a great support system. My sister is my strongest support; she’s also an assistant director on the show. This setup allows me to vent when I need to.”

    She continued by saying that she won’t keep putting too much pressure on herself. “I want to prove myself, but I’m also realistic now. I hope everyone loves Alamzeb [her character in Heeramandi], but some people will always have their opinions.”
    Segal was called the weakest member of the ‘Heeramandi’ ensemble cast, and fans questioned why Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave her such a big role based only on their relationship. The star disabled comments on her most recent Instagram photos in response to the vicious bullying that was going on on social media. For those who don’t know , Segal is the niece of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who previously worked with him on successful films such as ‘Bajirao Mastani,’ and ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ before making her cinematic debut in ‘Malaal’.

    On May 1, Netflix released ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,’ which is about the courtesans who resided in Lahore’s red light district.

  • Want to help Gaza? Stream Macklemore’s song as many times as you can

    Want to help Gaza? Stream Macklemore’s song as many times as you can

    With his most recent song Hind’s Hall, rapper, Macklemore has once again entered the political sphere, endorsing rallies by American college students in favour of Gaza. The Seattle native shared the explosive song on social media and pledged to donate all streaming service profits to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which supports Palestinian refugees.

    Previously, the song was not available on big platforms like YouTube and Spotify but is now streaming on all platforms, ironically, with a warning that it may be inappropriate for some users. However, the description highlights that all the proceeds will go to the UN agency for relief work in Gaza.

    The song’s title originates from Columbia University student protestors who changed Hamilton Hall’s name to Hind’s Hall in honour of six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was cruelly slain by Israeli forces in Gaza. The song’s images combine video of police aggression against student demonstrators with tragic blasts in Gaza, a moving show of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

    He said, “When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E. What was it again? Oh yeah, f**k the police.”

    The musician continues, criticising US diplomatic backing for Israel and President Joe Biden. He also states that he will not be voting for the incumbent in the next election.
    “Where do you draw the line for genocide? Destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque,” as well as “Forcing everyone into Rafah and dropping bombs.”
    He squarely blames Biden for the bloodshed, stating, “The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all.”
    With over 2,000 students detained nationwide during a wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, including over 100 at Columbia University alone, the song’s release coincides with the protests. Last week, pro-Palestinian demonstrators took over a Columbia University building, intensifying a conflict with authorities who have started penalising students for failing to take down tents erected on the New York campus.

    One protestor screamed from within, “This building is liberated in honor of Hind, a six-year-old Palestinian child murdered in Gaza by the Israeli occupation forces funded by Columbia University,” and others outside repeated him.
    Minutes after the protesters gained access to the building, New York City police officers arrived outside the school gates in unmarked cars, the Columbia Spectator newspaper reported. It said police told the paper they would only enter school grounds if someone was injured.
