    Nora Fatehi says early days in Bollywood were ‘painful’

    Nora Fatehi, the Canadian-born Bollywood actress and dancer who has shot to fame, reflected on her early days and struggles in Bollywood, describing them as “painful”.
    During a recent interview, Nora discussed the efforts she made to establish herself in the industry, and the challenges she faced during her initial days in India.

    “When I arrived in India, I had only 5,000 rupees, and at that time, I had no idea what 1,000 dollars meant. I used to live in an apartment with nine mentally ill girls, two of whom I shared a room with.”
    She alleged that the agencies through whom she wanted to enter the showbiz world were also involved in her harassment.
    “While living with nine girls in an apartment, I used to question myself about the difficult situation I had put myself in. Even today, those initial dreadful days still shock me,” she recalled.

    “In the beginning, talent hunting agencies made me work more and paid me less. I survived for a long time on just one egg and bread. It was one of the most difficult times for me. I also needed treatment after moving to India, but I did not have enough money to go to a good hospital for my treatment.”

  • Abrar Ul Haq makes musical comeback

    Abrar Ul Haq makes musical comeback

    Abrar Ul Haq made Bhangra popular in Pakistani pop music. His songs ‘Aaja Ni Baija Cycle Tey,’ and ‘Billo De Ghar’ are timeless hits played at every wedding. Bollywood recently remixed his song ‘Nach Punjaban.’ After quitting politics last year, Abrar Ul Haq has returned to making music.
    Abrar was a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s show where he said, “If we put a little effort into it, just like my songs from 15 to 20 years ago,
    such as ‘Jatt Charya Kacheri,’ at that time, no such songs were coming from India.

    They followed this trend, and after that, they started making songs in the same way. Anwar Aziz, our respected politician from Narowal, once met me in court and said there is a compliment for you, especially this Sikh guy is following your music style. Basically, Pakistan should take pride as we started the trend.”
    He was of the opinion that old singers are always angry at new talent. “This used to happen to me, and now singers of my generation are doing it to youngsters. Music of every generation should be respected and enjoyed.”

  • I’ve signed a paper saying I won’t play Momo’s character anywhere else: Hina Dilpazeer

    I’ve signed a paper saying I won’t play Momo’s character anywhere else: Hina Dilpazeer

    During a recent Ramadan show, Pakistani actress Hina Dilpazeer, famous for playing the beloved character of Mumtaz, also known as Momo, in the popular sitcom ‘Bulbulay,’ revealed something surprising. She said she’s not allowed to play the ditzy Momo anywhere else. This includes not just on TV or in movies, but also at events or award shows. It’s part of her contract.

    Momo’s character is an older lady who’s sweet but forgetful. She often forgets names, even of her own family and everyday things around the house. Her mix-ups and funny mistakes are loved by viewers. When she messes up, she says “oof” and puts her hand on her forehead, which has become a famous reaction on the show.

    Talking about her situation, Dilpazeer said, “I have it written down that I can’t play this character (Momo) anywhere else. Yes, I did a commercial where I was asked if I could play Momo, and they said yes, but it was only for the commercial.”

    Apart from Dilpazeer, the main cast of Bulbulay includes Nabeel, Ayesha Omar, and Mehmood Aslam. The show debuted in 2009 and has become one of Pakistan’s most successful TV series. It holds the record for being the longest-running TV show in the country.
    Momo’s character has gained a big fanbase over time, becoming one of Pakistan’s most loved and well-known TV characters. Her funny timing and actions have made her popular with viewers of all ages, making Dilpazeer’s role a key part of Bulbulay’s success.

    Talking about Momo, she praised the writer Ali Rehman for creating such a great character and her funny chemistry with on-screen son Nabeel. Since they had worked together before, it was a lot of fun. “A lot of times, we had to do multiple takes,” reminisced Dilpazeer, “which would often irritate Khoobsurat (Ayesha Omar) because Nabeel, Mehmood, and I would constantly laugh at each other’s gestures and cues.”
