    Kangana Ranaut’s controversial Bollywood film ‘Emergency’ postponed

    Bollywood actress and politician Kangana Ranaut’s controversial film ‘Emergency’ has been delayed after the Indian Censor Board refused to give it a green signal.

    According to media reports, the film’s negative portrayal of the Sikh community, has led to the postponement of the film’s release.

    The trailer of the film created a sensation all over Punjab as soon as it was released. The Censor Board has directed that the controversial scenes of the film be deleted, considering the sentiments of the Sikh community.

    The decision of the board has come after a legal notice by the Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal, asking for the film’s release to be stopped due to fear of communal riots and spread misinformation.

    The movie was expected to hit theatres on September 6.

    ‘Shadi key bad bhi boyfriend se salam dua hai’; Mariyam Nafees on relationship boundaries

    Famous actress Maryam Nafees has revealed that she is still in touch with her ex-boyfriend, and her husband is aware of this.

    She was recently invited to a podcast where the host asked Maryam, “If a girl follows you, what advice would you give these girls for a good marital relationship?”

    She responded, “Girls should tell their husbands everything, but it should not be about meeting ex-boyfriends. Every relationship has certain boundaries that both should follow. I also tell my husband everything.”

    She gave her example to explain this and said, “I am still in touch with my ex-boyfriend, even though we are no longer related, but I am very close to my ex-boyfriend’s family. His sister is still my best friend, and my husband knows this too; he has no objection to it either.”

    Maryam married Aman Ahmed in 2021.

    She’s still beautiful’: Waseem Abbas defends Mahira Khan

     
     
    Veteran actor Waseem Abbas has spoken up against recent controversial remarks by fellow actor Firdous Jamal over co-stars Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan. Abbas was invited as a guest on ZAH Entertainment’s YouTube show. He sent out a straightforward message that age should not be considered when judging the capabilities of an actor.
     
    Host Zaheer Ahmed asked him, “An artist sarcastically remarked about Mahira Khan, saying that even a bad mother is still considered a mother, and similarly, he criticized Humayun Saeed, implying that even though everyone engages in criticism, it should be done within limits. What does Sir have to say about this?”
     
     
    Waseem Abbas replied, “What can I say about this, I think we have no right to talk about someone’s age. I don’t care about anyone’s age, Mahira Khan is still beautiful. She was last seen on screen in ‘Maula Jatt’ and we should accept that she looks very beautiful in the film.”
     
    “As seniors, we should be very careful while sharing our opinion about our co-stars. Any actor’s performance can be criticized, but it is not appropriate to discuss his age,” Abbas added.
     
    Waseem pointed out that Jamal criticized Humayun Saeed in the same way, saying, “He is not Marlon Brando.”

People love them, and their films are doing extremely well at the box office. When they are raking in box-office profits, what else could you want.”

    Tauqeer replied, “Saba Qamar is a brilliant actor. She did a wonderful role with me in the drama serial ‘Thakkan’. Let me tell you why I respect her so much. Let me confess that I auditioned Saba once and rejected her. She was not selected because I didn’t find her dedicated. She used to hurry on and speak in a rush while uttering her dialogues. She herself admitted doing so. I wanted to select such people with whom I could work for a longer period of time as I wanted to induct them into my academy while I was selecting fresh artists for my ARY Digital drama serial.”

    But Saba didn’t give up. Now, she’s one of the most brilliant and versatile actresses in the Pakistan entertainment industry, a veritable power house of talent.

    Babrik Shah explains why he said no to Bollywood

    Actor and model Babrik Shah has gone through all the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. After a hiatus away from the limelight, he appeared as a guest on GNN Studio Podcast where he talked about professional setbacks. During the podcast Shah said that in 2006, he received the opportunity to move to India for work, but he refused.

    “I felt that I cannot live in India because India is a very dirty country, which is considered to be the second dirtiest country in the world,” was the unusual reason he cited.

    Babrik then revealed a second reason for not moving to India. “The second reason for not moving to India was the halal food of Muslims, the third reason was the riots in India, because there is no peace there. One reason was that the Indian government does not issue us any passport, and neither can we marry anyone in India nor can we buy a house.”
    The host asked, “Adnan Sami sahib has left everything and gone away.”

    Babrik replied, “Whatever Adnan Sami got from India was found on the British passport, India does not even issue a passport to anyone on a Pakistani passport. And the other important reason is that Adnan Sami is a singer and a singer for India. They produce 2000 films in 29 languages every year and 10,000 songs are made in these films, so Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Atif Aslam, and others all of them manage to work in India.”

    The Zameen Kay Khuda actor shared the experiences of other Pakistani artists who had traveled to India, saying, “After Muammar Rana, I also went to India for work, at that time. The artists, directors, assistant directors, and cameramen there told me that you stay here, you are a talented actor, we will make you a star, you will be cast as a hero in films.”
