    Four onscreen couples driving Pakistani drama fans crazy

    The classic story where a boy meets a girl but faces challenges along the way has been popular for ages, even back in Shakespeare’s time. Pakistani TV shows often use this storyline, and it’s a favorite among directors and producers, because it works really well. And when good-looking actors are part of the mix, fans seem to overlook any flaws in the show and just enjoy the romance.
    In Pakistan’s entertainment industry, there are lots of romantic couples on screen. And there are also many actors who are not only talented but also really good-looking. Pakistani drama fans everywhere are thrilled to see four pairs of actors who have amazing chemistry when they act together.

Their teamwork is expected to be exciting, and fans are eagerly looking forward to it.

    Bilal Abbas and Durefishan Saleem in Ishq Murshid

    The final episode of ‘Ishq Murshid’ is about to hit theaters, and fans on social media are deeply invested. They’ve spent hours debating whether Bilal Abbas’s character, Shahmeer/Fazl, should be forgiven for lying to win over Durefishan’s Shibra. Despite some serious concerns about his character, Bilal’s amazing acting skills have won over even the toughest critics. And with Durefishan’s strong yet understated performance as Shibra, the two actors have carried the beloved drama from beginning to end.

  • Madiha Rizvi, husband have quite the interesting love story

    Last week, writer-poet Junaid Ali Perwez confirmed his marriage to versatile actor Madiha Rizvi with a wedding video shared on social media.
    During their first-ever joint interview after marriage, the ‘Jhooti’ actor dismissed all reports of Perwez being an old friend. Instead, she shared details of how they initially met and developed their relationship.

    Rizvi disclosed that her now-husband is her first cousin, the son of her maternal uncle, and the two have known each other since childhood, while her husband revealed that he is three years younger than the actor.
    Speaking of the age difference, Perwez said, “I never thought of it like that which is why it wasn’t a big deal for me. However, the only challenge – since I’ve never been married before – was to adjust with the kids who are already grown up and bond with them.”

    He added, “We started discussing marriage only after she was sure that the three of us [Madiha’s two daughters and Junaid] could get along well.”
    Madiha Rizvi, the daughter of veteran actor Deeba Rizvi, was formerly wedded to fellow actor Hasan Noman, the son of the late prolific artist Rasheed Naz, from 2013 to 2022. Together, the former couple has two daughters.

    Mathira mentioned that people, including fellow artists, often find her “very rude” as a person because she usually never approaches them when they cross paths in airports. “Firstly I want to say sorry to all those but I feel that it is your private time and I’m not the type of person who would want to invade your privacy, to greet you or ask for a picture or anything,” she said.

    “I really, really like Salman Khan. When I was in Mumbai, I told all my friends to call me if they saw him, no matter when it was,” she told the host. “Once my friend called me when he saw him, and I hurried to that club.
