Indian singer Dhvani Bhanushali recently released her latest song Mehendi that is a blatant replication of the Pakistani song Gagar, sung by Pakistani singer Alamgir.
The song has garnered more than 20 million views within two days of its release. Interestingly, the music of the Indian song is quite similar to the Pakistani iconic song Gagar.
However, Pakistani singer Umair Jaswal, who recently did a rendition of Alamgir’s song in the Velo Sound station’s season 1, pointed out the clear copying of the tune and shared the news on his Instagram account.
He questioned the Indian singer for copying the tune and tagged his fellow music artists who worked with him on Gagar’s remake. Originally made by veteran singers, the song Gagar is a famous song from the ’90s. Let’s have look at both songs:
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has fined news channel Neo News Rs 200,000 for airing “insensitive, degrading, insulting, and nasty” remarks by Abdul Razzaq, Dawn has reported.
The complaint was filed by tennis player Aisamul Haq Qureshi with Pemra’s Council of Complaints through Barrister Khadija Siddiqi.
As per Pemra’s order the complaint filed said the female host on the show also “degrades and shames the career adopted by female cricketers, expressly stating that female cricketers mostly leave cricket when they get married”.
The Council of Complaints also observed that the comment on women leaving cricket after marriage was a “generalisation” that “leads to blatant discrimination against female gender”. The female host is insinuating that short hair is too masculine and that women cricketers are somewhat an anomaly,” the council said.
Razzaq was “implying a presupposed notion that cricket is a sport only meant for boys, who define the masculine nature of the sport,” the council said.
Earlier, this year in July, Abdul Razzaq and Nida Dar appeared in NEO TV’s program in which, one of the members interrupted Dar while she was talking about her profession and said that women cricketers leave their profession and get married.
Abdul Razzaq was quick to jump in, saying, “Oh, they don’t get married.” “Aap inko hath mila kay dekh lein, yeh larki to nahi lagtein,” said Razzaq. (If you shake her [Dar’s] hand, she is anything but feminine). The video clip went viral on social media and Abdul Razzaq faced backlash for his comments.

The Bulbulay diva stated in a recent interview, “I didn’t have a time for a committed serial but when ‘Bisaat’ came along, things just fell into place. The drama, Fahim Burney directorial has an ensemble cast, which means that no one actor or actress bears the burden of the entire serial. The work is equally divided amongst everyone and all characters have an equal presence in the show, the character offered to me is very interesting that I couldn’t say no.”
Actor-Singer Farhan Saeed and Khaani star Sana Javed are set to feature together in HUM TV’s upcoming drama serial Kaala Doriya. Writer Saima Chaudhry of Suno Chanda and Chupke Chupke fame has written the serial.
Musician and actor Azaan Sami Khan has responded to a troll for referring to his father as ‘Ghadaar’ under his Instagram post. The Superstar fame composer replied back with a dignified response to the netizen.
In July 2021, supermodel Sabeeka Imam questioned Azaan’s casting in drama serial Ishq-e-Laa co-starring Sajal Aly and Yumna Zaidi.
“So it seems like you need zero onscreen acting experience and you could also debut with both the AMAZING Yumna and Sajal,” she wrote.
“Mujhe bhi itni hi achi LUCK chahiye where I don’t have to earn it or prove myself first & it just gets handed to me on a plate,” she added.
Earlier actor Muneeb Butt also claimed that he thinks, the Tu singer is a product of nepotism.
It is pertinent to mention here that Azaan will make his acting debut alongside Yumna Zaidi and Sajal Aly in Ishq-E-Laa. Directed by Amin Iqbal, the script is penned by the veteran writer, Qaisera Hayat of Alif Allah Aur Insaan fame.
