Best entertainment news in the industry, we break entertainment stories as soon as celebrities post on their social media and do Pakistani drama reviews.
Jannat Mirza and Alishba Anjum, two famous Pakistani social media influencers, are spending Ramadan in Faisalabad with their family.
Both the influencers extended an invitation to viral social media sensation Adnan Zafar, widely known as Ken Doll Dubai, to join them for a special iftari. The trio seem to be enjoying a wonderful meal and engaged in lively conversation.
Here are some pictures from their enjoyable Aftari:
Television host Iqrar ul Hassan is known for his show Sar E Aam and having three wives.
During a recent appearance on Wasi Shah’s show, Iqrar and Qurutulain opened up about their relationship and feelings. Qurutulain expressed her confidence in their bond, stating, “I am not an insecure person. I’ve always believed that Iqrar’s love for me will never fade.” She emphasized her trust in him, adding, “I don’t feel the need to check up on Iqrar. Some wives are always trying to check their husbands’ phones, but that’s not something I relate to.”
When questioned about his deepest romantic affections, excluding familial ties, Iqrar responded with certainty, saying, “Everyone knows that I love Annie the most.” He elaborated, “She is my first love, and no one can ever replace her. This is common knowledge among all my relationships.”
In a recent podcast chat with Ghazal Siddique, Ali Gul Mallah, a well-known figure in Sindhi entertainment for over 27 years, revealed a side of himself few had seen before. Mallah, who became famous for his role in the drama ‘Ishq Murshid,’ talked openly about his life’s ups and downs.
While actors like Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan were already famous, Mallah’s character quickly won hearts in ‘Ishq Murshid,’ making him a new favorite among fans. But beyond his on-screen success, Mallah’s life has its share of struggles and dreams.
During the podcast, Mallah expressed gratitude for his achievements, saying they were blessings from Allah. He also shared a heartfelt wish to go on a pilgrimage to Umrah with his family, showing his strong faith and devotion.
But Mallah’s heart also goes out to those facing hard times. He talked about feeling sad when he sees people who were once well-off but are now struggling.
“I also broke into tears when I talked about my village and extended family. If I ever get a lot of money, I would like to help my family who have faced the worst ever conditions financially.” With emotion evident in his voice, he shared his dream, saying, “I would also like to make a village where people will have all the fundamental rights.”
Who doesn’t have a crush on Wahaj Ali? Well, maybe your neighbour’s grandmother who doesn’t watch TV and perhaps your professor who thinks watching TV is a waste of time.
The rest of the country definitely has a crush on the breakthrough star and that includes admirers from across the border.
During an Instagram question and answer session, famous Indian actress Reem Shaikh shared her admiration for Pakistani actor Wahaj Ali. She revealed that she fell in love with him as soon as she saw him.
When asked about her first impression of Wahaj Ali, Reem blushed and said, “I’m not joking, it was love at first sight.”
Wahaj is known for charming people not only in Pakistan but also in India. His drama series ‘Tere Bin’ was a huge hit, earning him lots of fans. He’s becoming a big star in the entertainment world.
Reem Sameer Shaikh is also a well-known actress in India. She’s worked on many TV shows and movies like ‘Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha’, ‘Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat’, ‘Tujhse Hai Raabta’.
If Wahaj Ali ever decides to work in India, Reem Shaikh would probably love to act alongside him.

He may have played the cold-blooded villain of ‘The Legend of Maula Jutt’, but Hamza Ali Abbasi is known to be one of the most easy-going people in the entertainment industry.
The star spoke about the importance of having an enjoyable atmosphere on set, where everyone, including the cast and crew, joke around. After a five-year break, he returned to TV with a remarkable performance as Shahram in ‘Jaan-e-Jahan’ released in December 2023. “I actually had to break down like a child,” recalled Hamza.
“It was my favourite scene,” he said, reflecting on a poignant moment in the show. “Everyone is very chilled and laidback. No one is hot-headed in our team, cast or crew. Everyone is funny.” Despite the show having a romantic aspect, Hamza emphasized that it’s not just a love story, praising the writers for creating a complex plot. “It’s a very, very good package,’ he said seriously. “I just really hope you like Jan-a-Jahan.” Hamza also has camaraderie with his onscreen brothers and the supportive team of writers, hoping viewers would enjoy the show as much as he enjoyed working on it.
Last week, everyone was talking about Radhika Merchant, wife-to-be of Anant Ambani. The future bride wore stunning outfits at all her pre-wedding events.
For one of the endless days of celebration, Radhika wore a beautiful gown made by Mohammed Ashi, a designer from Saudi Arabia. The gown was light pink with crystal embellishments and had a long train.
She also wore a custom-made Versace gown inspired by New York’s buildings, and a colorful dress by Ashish Gupta paying tribute to disco culture. Her Manish Malhotra lehenga was traditional but with a modern touch.
But it’s not just her clothes that caught attention. Radhika’s jewelry included diamond accessories and traditional Indian jewels.
One memorable look was during her ‘hastakshar ceremony’ where she wore a special lehenga by Tarun Tahiliani. The outfit had beautiful paintings and intricate craftsmanship, showing India’s rich heritage.
The accolades don’t stop pouring in for Pakistani Grammy winning singer Arooj Aftab.
The ‘Mohabbat’ crooner will perform at the famous Glastonbury Festival in London this June. Aftab, known for her soulful singing and mixing classical and modern music, shared the news on her Instagram account.
“UK make plans! We are back at Glastonbury, June 2024.”
Aftab also posted the exciting line-up on the carousel, promising performances from both classic and new artists including PJ Harvey and Cyndi Lauper.
Female artists will headline two out of three slots at Britain’s Glastonbury Festival in June for the first time, with Dua Lipa and SZA joining rock-band Coldplay, organizers announced on Thursday.
Country pop star Shania Twain will perform in the Sunday afternoon “legend” slot. British-Albanian Dua Lipa, known for hits like New Rules and One Kiss, will debut on the Pyramid Stage shortly after releasing her third album, Radical Optimism.
Coldplay, veterans at Worthy Farm, will headline for a record fifth time. The inclusion of US R&B star SZA is a surprise in the lineup. The 34-year-old’s acclaimed album SOS won a Grammy last month, and her single Kill Bill has been on the British charts for months.
The festival, which sold out in under an hour when tickets were released in November, faced criticism last year for an all-male top billing.
Earlier this year, Aftab missed out on double Grammy wins after not winning in the two categories she was nominated for. The Mohabbat singer received nominations for Global Music Performance and Best Jazz Alternate Album.
Aftab’s album Love in Exile got nominated for Best Jazz Alternate Album, and Shadow Forces got recognized for new vocal or instrumental global music. It’s important to mention that Aftab became the first Pakistani artist to win music’s top honors in 2022.

Some social media users argue that in Pakistan, an Islamic country, wearing the hijab should not be controversial. However, others note that not all girls may feel comfortable wearing the hijab.
Overall, the drama has sparked discussions about the importance of respecting individual choices and has garnered praise for its portrayal of hijab values.
