Affan Waheed breaks silence on refusing to work with Dur-e-Fishan, spills her secret
Actor Affan Waheed appeared on Ahsan Khan’s chat show along with his Pardes co-star Dur-e-Fishan Saleem. The duo indulged in a candid conversations over their personal and professional lives.
The Do Bol star revealed that Dur-e-Fishan was proposed by a white classmate in America when she was doing her bachelors. He said that the Dilruba diva even considered the proposal but eventually turned it down. On being asked about the same by Ahsan, Dur-e-Fishan answered that she was just 19 years old back then so it was too early to get married also she had apprehensions about her mother’s reaction on the same so she declined his proposal after considering it shortly.
Even Dur-e-Fishan made a revelation about the Shehnai hero that he broke up around three months back but is single again.
The host asked he duo about Affan refusing to share the screen space with Dur-e-Fishan in Pardes, on which the Dastaan actor stated that yes he did refused to work with her initially as when he signed the project, an established actress was doing her role who later opted out and the director Marina Khan roped in Dur-e-Fishan for the character and he was just not ready to do the same script with a newcomer which he had envisioned with an established star, also he wasn’t sure of her Urdu language skills.
Even Dur-e-Fishan said that it’s not because he doesn’t want to work with newcomers, its just that he was offered the play opposite a different co-star but after 3-4 days of shoot he expressed his happiness on working with her.
Affan recalled saying, “On set during a scene Dure said, ‘Acha, tum najoom ho? [Are you a horoscope?]’ When the original dialogue was a romantic and intense ‘Acha, tum ilm-e-nujoom bhi ata hai? [Oh, you know astrology as well?]’”
Affan confessed that his favourite female co-stars are Hira Mani, Tooba Siddiqui and Ramsha Khan.

US Senator indirectly urges President Biden to call PM Khan
United States (US) Senator Bob Menendez said that he has asked US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to urge President Joe Biden to have a conversation with Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan in an effort to rebuild the Pak-US relationship, reports Geo News.
While addressing a fundraising event, Menendez said, “I think it would serve us well to have such a conversation and, you know when we have these conversations, they are honest, and that means they are also transparent.”
“Where there is an agreement, we build upon it and where there is disagreement, we talk about how do we get through that disagreement,” said Menendez.
“I hope, I can expand on it — not just about Pakistan in the context of a military or security dimension, but much greater– talking about an incredibly large population that is very young; there is tremendous opportunity to build upon the economic dynamism that we create,” he told the members of the American-Pakistani Political Action Committee (APPAC).
US President Joe Biden, who assumed office in January this year, has not yet telephoned PM Khan.
Earlier this month, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R Sherman on her visit to Pakistan said, “I am sure that this contact [between President Biden and PM Khan] will take place soon, so I don’t think it should mean anything else.”
However, in August, the premier himself commented on the situation and said he was “not waiting for a phone call from the US President”.

Addressing a press conference in Sharjah, he said that Pakistan and New Zealand enjoy good relations and that the upcoming T20 World Cup match between two teams “will be played in right spirits”.
Kane Williamson’s comments came in response to the question asked if he expects any acrimony or grudges following the last-minute pullout of the New Zealand cricket team from their Pakistan tour.
Replying to the question, the NZ skipper said that the situation was very disappointing. “I know the team members were very much looking forward to the occasion and playing cricket in Pakistan, and it was ‘a real shame’ that it wasn’t able to go ahead,” he said on the eve of the match.
“The focus now is here at the T20 World Cup and no doubt after last night’s performance, Pakistan have some momentum and are feeling pretty good about their cricket,” he said.
“But there are also a lot of good relations within the two teams. Over the years, they have played a lot against each other, and several players have played with each other, as well. I am sure it will be played in the right spirit,” Williamson said.
Williamson praised the spectacular performance of Pakistan against India. “It was a fantastic performance. I think Pakistan has come to the T20 World Cup full of confidence, having played in these conditions more than most.”
“They certainly put it on the show last night and showed why they are one of the favorites in the competition,” he said shedding light on Pakistan’s performance against India.
“Tomorrow, I am sure they’ll be very strong again, so, for us, it is focusing on the cricket that we want to play and trying to adjust to conditions,” he added.
Pakistan is set to play New Zealand in their second match of Super 12s today (Tuesday).
