    Mahira Khan, Aiman Khan are done with the ‘pawri’

    After weeks of ‘pawri-ing it up’, it seems that Pakistan, including our favourite divas Mahira Khan and Aiman Khan, are done with the trend.

    Mahira expressed her feelings on the trend with a hilarious meme featuring Batman and Robin. In the meme, Batman can be seen slapping Robin who tries to recreate ‘Pawri Ho Rai Hai,’ asking him to shut up.

    However, fans were quick to criticise Mahira, saying she was among the first to recreate the Pawri video.

    While one social media user wrote: “Yeh pehly khudi dance kar rahi thi, ab chup karwa re. Ajeeb,” another thanked Mahira for asking for a stop on the trend, saying: “Thank you for being brave enough to speak about the things no one talks about!!”.

    Meanwhile, Aiman also shared the same meme on social media.

  • Aiman Khan says her 8 million following is ‘organic’

    Power couple Aiman Khan and Muneeb But got candid about their relationship in a recent interview with Ahsan Khan. During the interview Aiman also talked about her massive social media following.

    Answering a question about the change she felt in Muneeb after the marriage, Aiman stated: “I think Muneeb has become really happy after marrying me.”

    Talking about his relationship with Aiman, Muneeb said that marriages survive on understanding, compromises and sacrifices.

    He stated: “People say that males are more dominant in our society but let me tell you, in the cities, women are more dominant, especially in the matters of the house. You can’t dictate your wife at home. That’s her department,”

    During the interview Ahsan asked Aiman: “Is your following organic and did you aim to have that many followers or do you make content specifically for your account?”

    To which Aiman replied: “My social media following is organic.”

    “I created my Instagram account 5 to 6 years ago, when I was very new to acting, and I used to do commercials at that time,” adding that when she joined Instagram there were very few users on the platform.

    “I have never created my content specifically for Instagram,” she said, adding that sometimes she doesn’t even have pictures to post on Instagram.

    During the interview, Munneb also shared that he wants to play the role of a soldier in an ISPR [sponsored] drama, adding that he loves the Pakistan Army.

    Talking about why she started acting, Aiman said, “I wanted to do acting, and wanted to come on screen, when people used to see us together [Aiman and Minal] they used to say that we should act in dramas.”

    She further added that they both stated acting in commercials from a very young age.

    Aiman and Muneeb tied the knot in 2018 and their wedding broke the internet. They also have a one-year-old daughter Amal.

  • ‘Please don’t be that fool that runs after numbers,’ says Ayeza after hitting 8 million Instagram followers

    ‘Please don’t be that fool that runs after numbers,’ says Ayeza after hitting 8 million Instagram followers

    Ayeza Khan has dethroned Aiman Khan to become the most followed Pakistani celebrity on Instagram with 8 million followers. Aiman has 7.9 million followers on the social media application while Mahira Khan follows closely behind with 7 million followers.

    “Thank you guys so much for the love and respect! It is exciting to have such a huge number of followers here,” said Ayeza celebrating the milestone.

    The actor then went to talk about her journey as an actor and how she focused on her work and not on increasing her Instagram followers.

    “I must say that the only reason I am able to celebrate this today is that I know how hard I worked to achieve whatever I have on this day,” said Ayeza. “I never focused my work and life towards getting a bigger number of followers. It never works in the long run. My mother has always taught me that it’s important to work hard and build your legacy and be patient. When you have those all the good stuff comes without you knowing.”

    Ayeza further talked about the disproportionate relationship between the numbers of followers and influence one can have.

    “Growing number of followers doesn’t guarantee a long term success if you’re hollow from the inside. There is a reason why someone with a few thousand followers on Instagram can have more influence on people than someone with tons of millions of followers,” said Ayeza, adding: “Please don’t be that fool that runs after numbers.”

    The actor continued: “For me, I never worked towards growing my Instagram numbers. Instead, I have always focused all my energy into my work, my acting and modelling especially, and the fan following grew itself.”

    “I’m thankful to all of you guys because it feels great to have so many people recognise your talent and work, rather than blindly taping that follow button and not even knowing what I actually do,” she concluded.

    Last week, Maya Ali and Hira Mani both crossed five million followers on Instagram.

    Sajal Aly, Aiman Khan, Bilal Abbas Khan and Danyal Zafar have made it to UK-based publication Eastern Eye’s list of ’30 under 30 Global Asian Stars’.

    “The future belongs to the young and one look at rising South Asian stars globally shows it is looking very bright,” said the publication while announcing the list.

    “These terrific talents, bringing something unique to diverse artistic fields, are already breaking boundaries at a very young age and giving us hope at a time when we all need it. Eastern Eye decided to put a spotlight on the brightest of these artists for a first-of-its-kind 30 under 30 global Asian stars to look out for in the coming years,” adds their statement.

    Here’s what the magazine had to say about the four stars and what they had to say in return:

    Bilal Abbas Khan

    “He may have only made his acting debut in 2016, but the Pakistani actor has had a rapid rise since then and starred in a massive number of marvellous projects. The 27-year-old has positioned himself perfectly as the future of film and TV in his country. With more big film and TV projects on the way, he is one to look out for.”

    Speaking about the recognition Khan said: “This is a great honour and I feel humbled to be part of Eastern Eye’s prestigious list. It is the love of my fans that keeps me striving to keep pushing the benchmarks and try harder. I hope and look forward to keeping the pace going in 2021.”

    He added that he never saw this coming and was truly ecstatic.

    Sajal Aly

    “The 27-year-old actress has had a boss-like presence on Pakistani television for over a decade and established herself as an A-list superstar. She will add to her already burgeoning list of world-class projects with more work in major film and TV productions, where she will be the centre of attention,” said the publication.

    Sharing the news on social media, Sajal posted an emoji to express her happiness over the accomplishment.

    Aiman Khan

    “She may only be 22-year-old, but the talented actress is already the most followed Pakistani celebrity on Instagram [with almost eight million followers]. The small screen superstar has been lighting up television for nearly a decade and has the world at her feet right now. With no shortage of offers, she will pick projects carefully and build on her immense popularity.”

    Danyal Zafar

    “The 24-year-old singer, songwriter and musician has inherited all the talent of his superstar elder brother Ali Zafar. The young Pakistani star has been quietly bubbling away with stunning songs, which are getting him noticed globally and ones that will see him cross multiple musical frontiers.”

    Meanwhile, others on the list include Iman Vellani (who will be playing Ms Marvel in the upcoming series), Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Guru Randhawa and British-Pakistani singer Zayn Malik. Bigg Boss contestants Shehnaaz Gill and Asim Riaz also made it to the list.
