    Has Amar Khan received international offers for work?

    In an exclusive interview with The Current Life, actress Amar Khan shared her thoughts on international opportunities for Pakistani actors and also opened up about her experience in the entertainment industry.

    When we asked whether she had received international offers, Amar Khan replied, “The interesting thing is there was one offer and I did audition for it, but obviously, it didn’t work out. I am sure I would have been a better option there, but I am sure with OTT platforms, actors are trying their luck abroad. I am sure more avenues like this open up for Pakistani actors.”

    “Your drama is still airing on Geo, what do you think has been the best character of your career so far,” The Current inquired.

    “There is one drama which is very close to my heart but it didn’t get a lot of viewership neither did I get ratings as such at the beginning of this year. I did a drama by Kashif Nisar ‘Breaking News’ which was the first Pakistani drama solely based on journalism. I portrayed a journalist, and while I received a lot of critical acclaim but our saas -bahu audience didn’t like it that much,” the actress added.

    Currently, Amar Khan is starring in the drama serial Dil-e-Nadan with Mikaal Zulfiqar, written by Sadia Akhtar and directed by Saima Waseem. She is playing the character of Nayab, whereas Mikaal is playing the character of Zaviyaar.

    In an exclusive interview with The Current Life, actress Amar Khan opened up about her thoughts on the negativity within the entertainment industry and shared her insights on how actors face criticism.

    When we asked, “Who is most overrated actor and who is underrated,” Amar Khan replied, “Why are you asking this? Don’t ask this, there are a lot of shows nowadays in which overrated, underrated kachra actor, best actor. There are a lot of comments on that, no actor in the world comments on another actor, this only happens in our industry.”

    When asked why do we like to do this, Khan replied: “Because we are an ignorant nation (jaahil qaum) that’s why. I don’t think there could be a shorter answer than this.”

    Talking about how she tackles trolling, the actress said that she recites duas of sabr. “But I think if I say that that I completely shield myself and that I don’t care, there is no one who doesn’t care,” the actress added.

    Is Amar Khan getting married soon?

    It seems that our public’s weird obsession with getting celebrities married off has not ended. At a recent event, famous actress Amar Khan was asked about her marriage plans. The exasperated star replied that she will get married when the right time comes up.

    “This is not something anyone can predict, but [I’ll get married] whenever it is the right time,” she told a reporter.

    When asked if she would ever propose to someone she likes, the ‘Baddua’ actress said it’s important that the other person feels the same way. “It is not about who I like, but it’s important that the other person has similar feelings for me, so I would like to give this opportunity to that individual,” she said.

    Amar also shared that she has received many proposals. She believes in fate and destiny and thinks everyone eventually finds the right person they are meant to be with.

    Talking about the qualities she wants in her future partner, Khan said, “Respect is the most important factor in any relationship. Compatibility, a good sense of humor, and other characteristics are nice, but I believe respect tops all of that. When partners have respect for each other, it gets easier to spend a good life together.”

    Amar Khan, the talented television and film actor, appeared in the Naidan Maizban YouTube show hosted by Danish Nawaz, Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz.

    The host asked Amar, “What have you thought about when a new young person will enter your life, and what kind of person do you want to be – a writer, director, comedian? How do you want your life to be?”

    Amar Khan replied, “Why limit yourself to just one field? The world is vast, just bring me a guy like Ranbir Kapoor”

    The star was quick to clarify which one.

    “Not the Animal one, he was too toxic. I want the Rockstar Ranbir Kapoor.”

    Danish Nawaz humorously commented, “He’ll just spend all day at the shrine.”

    Amar replied, “It’s okay, he’ll be a mystic, rebellious to the world, just not rebellious to me.” 

    Any Ranbir Kapoor lookalike out there, you have a chance!

  • Breaking News is a new-age take on media and companionship with a desi tarka

    Breaking News is a new-age take on media and companionship with a desi tarka

    Green TV’s new serial ‘Breaking News’ is a rather fresh concept among the current lot of dramas currently running on television. True to the Green track record, the serial promises an out-of-the-box story. Two episodes have been released till the time this review is being written.

    The story revolves around Mishaal and Hussain, a pair in love (but not madly so), equally focused on their respective careers. The boy brought up in an urban and slightly privileged background, shows restraint in his countenance. Mishal, on the other hand, is a small-town girl, ambitious and a lot more expressive. She lives in a rented place where her landlady’s teenage son has an eye for her but she is traditional enough to not share it with Hussain even though he asks the reason for her discomfort multiple times.

    Mishal is played by Amar Khan and Hussain is played by ‘Fairytale’ star Hamza Sohail. They both look the part and the styling is on point for the strata they represent.

    There is a parallel story of Naveed Khan played by Ali Safina, the corrupt television anchor born to a journalist father who died a terrible death after reporting against a local politician. As a kid, he was beaten for the same crime his father committed. He is a masochist- inflicting pain on himself- and conducts a completely staged show against ethical norms, only to get the ratings. He is also lenient towards his content director Hussain’s idealism which in most instances is in clash with his desire to get views and ratings.

    Like other Kashif Nisar’s ventures, the drama is real and relatable but less bleak. That may prove to be wrong in the future as the teaser for the coming episode promises things turning topsy-turvy for the lead characters. The negative side of media and the risk journalists put themselves through has been shown in multiple projects including the recent ‘Ishq e Laa’, but a dedicated project to the modus operandi of media, the rat race of ratings and the rhetoric of “screen ki sage par jab sach lutta hai wo bikta hai”.

    Airing twice a week, the show is a window into the optics of news medium, the 24/7 media feed culture, and the dirty politics of breaking news keeping morality at bay. The tug-of-war that goes between anchors in this industry will provide insight into how they contribute to the industry with this crisply written script.

    ‘Watching SRK on-screen is an event’: Amar Khan in awe of Shah Rukh Khan’s screen presence

    Actor Amar Khan took to her Twitter handle to share her excitement about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film Pathaan‘s release.

    Amar tweeted, “Reviving back so many Single screens . Now that’s the hysteria of a King! Ufff last saw his zero in Pakistan, then films got banned on both sides. Watching Shahrukh khan on screen is not viewing a film it’s witnessing an event. This man withstood all TVs, VCRs, digital & and whatnot.”

    Earlier this month, Khan appreciated Bhansali’s work and expressed her desire for a filmmaker like him to be born “on this side of the border.” She further stated that there is a dearth of women-centric storylines in Pakistani cinema.

    Amar Khan wants Pakistan to have proper acting schools

    “The success of Gangubai Kathiawari dispelled two myths: that heroines cannot be box office heroes. And that good old-fashioned dialogues are not appreciated by everyone. Sanjay Leela Bhansali made his simplest film infusing it with deep emotion and complete drama,” a fan wrote on Twitter.

    Following suit, Khan shared the fan’s post by reflecting on the lack of similar projects in Pakistan. “Hopefully in 2023 someone like Bhansali is born on this side of the border too, or we will be doomed to watch only male-centric films! We have never made female-oriented films that are commercially successful, it’s just the same old repetitive storyline circling a man,” lamented the Daraar star.

    Amar Khan wants Lollywood to create more female-centered, commercially successful films

    Looking back at the year 2022, Pakistani cinema produced commercially and critically successful films like Kamli, Joyland and of course, Maula Jatt. This year was the start of listening to voices that didn’t just circle around men. Now actress Amar Khan has expressed hope that the conversation keeps going on, while the industry releases more movies that champion women voices and don’t revolve around male-centered notions.
    Yesterday on Twitter, the actress shared a post applauding the success of Bollywood movie “Gangubai Kathiawari” which has surpassed all other productions to become the number 1 movie at the Indian box office. The post applauded director and writer Sanjay Leela Bhansali for breaking the stereotype that women-led movies don’t become instant hits, and that movies infused with emotional dialogues rather than intense action scenes wouldn’t interest anyone.

    Amar Khan wrote that she hoped Pakistan would follow the same footsteps as its neighbor and soon start creating more films that were female-centered and also commercially successful.
    “Rab kare 2023 mein koi aik adh bhansali border k is paar bhi janam le.Warna we have never made a female oriented commercially succesful film.They continue to be male centric!!”

    ‘Sajal ka anjaam bohat bura hona chahiye tha’: Netizens unhappy with Daraar’s finale episode

    Geo Entertainment drama Daraar directed by Sheherzade Sheikh and written by Misbah Nosheen concluded its run yesterday. The hit drama starring Syed Jibran, Momal Sheikh, Tara Mehmood, Amar Khan and Behroze Sabzwari is getting polarising responses for its finale episode.

    Many viewers were left disappointed with the conclusion since they wanted to see Sajal (Momal), who was guilty of destroying her cousin sister’s family, getting mercilessly punished. Almost all viewers were angry by the incomplete conclusion. A few viewers appreciated the morally instructive ending of Shaheer, believing that unlawful partnerships are bad for society.

    However, fans stated that the drama’s plot was too gruesome and required a decent ending that depicted Sajal’s punishment for destroying a home and deceiving Irha, her parents, and Shaheer. The majority of viewers were unhappy with the conclusion.

    ‘Don’t even know Bipasha Basu’: Armeena Rana hits out at trolls for remarks on her pregnancy shoot

    Actor Armeena Rana Khan faced flak for being “too western” in her maternity shoot, a netizen even accused her of plagiarising Bipasha Basu’s pregnancy shoot. However, the Janaan star clapped back at haters.

    While sharing a screenshot from the comment section of her maternity shoot picture, Khan showed how she shut a troll for being a “hypocrite” for wanting her to confide to his perfect ‘desi woman’ standard. “Troll me all you want, I don’t care and will never care,” she wrote reiterating that it’s her online space and she shares all updates with her fans and well-wishers and not with haters.

    She went on to share the brutal comments she has received on the post. A person commented on how her maternity shoot looked like a “Hollywood copy” and that women shouldn’t copy the “Kafir (sinners)” to feel empowered. “Hey ladies, Don’t be like Fatima. She’s a hypocrite,” wrote Khan.

    Triggered by the negative comments, Khan put up a PSA for everyone following her. “Next up, I will talk about my delivery and all of the details when it happens. [This is] my space, not yours,” she wrote in a series of Instagram Stories. “If I haven’t triggered you religious fanatics enough yet, watch this space.”

    She also went on to encourage other women to share their experiences of motherhood, and otherwise and claim their space after a fan congratulated her for finding the strength to do the same. “Claim your space, ladies. Motherhood and all its aspects are indeed beautiful. We should discuss our experiences. Let’s lift the ‘shame’ which isn’t even Islamic by the way, but has more to do with misogyny and our oppressive culture,” Khan exclaimed.

    Khan, on a roll, pointed out the lack of logic in a certain troll’s comment who insisted on her to feel “shameful because she’s a Muslim woman.” She said, “When you see a pregnant woman in public on the streets, do you wear those horse blinkers or do you avert your eyes? I doubt you do either. It all depends on how filthy your mind is,” she concluded her series of posts.

    ‘Chor Chor’: Aiman Khan slams Nawaz Sharif, Muneeb shares anti PML-N twitter trends

    Actor Aiman Khan termed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as ‘thief’ on Instagram. The Baandi heroine commented this under his recent interview in which he called out Imran Khan for his economic administration of Pakistan.

    Earlier this month she slammed Reham Khan for her viral video.

    The Ishq Tamasha star expressed her disappointment on the video in which the Janaan producer can be seen saying to Imran Khan, “Kidhar hai Niazi? Dar gaya kya?”.

    Aiman’s husband, Muneeb Butt shared anti PML-N trends on Qatari Twitter.

    Recently he also lashed out on Reham for her latest tweet about actors supporting Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    Reham took a dig at celebrities who are supporting Imran Khan amidst the No-motion battle.

    Muneeb was quick to hit back at her by saying that when she produced the Hania Aamir starrer Janaan, she took advantage of being Imran’s wife.

    The Yeh Na Thi Hamari Kismat star termed Reham as a graceless ex.

    You can get exclusive details in our new show, Maslay Aur Masala:

    Earlier Muneeb bashed Nauman Niaz for his conduct with Shoaib Akhtar. After the nail-biting T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Dr Nauman asked Shoaib a question, which turned into a fight when Dr Niaz asked Akhtar to leave the show.

    The clash started off when Nauman asked Shoaib Akhtar a question. Shoaib said Hassan Ali should not have bowled in the beginning as the ball was reversing later.

    Shoaib asked Nauman about Shaheen Shah Afridi’s ball reversing. “Did you see the game?”

    Nauman replied, “Yes, I saw the match.” In response, Shoaib Akhtar said again, “Were you lost?”

    During the same conversation, Shoaib went ahead and talked about giving credit to Lahore Qalandars while talking about Haris Rauf. However, Shoaib continued by mentioning Shaheen Shah Afridi.

    Actor Muneeb Butt has responded to the controversy by extending his support to the veteran cricketer.

    He also suggested to value national heroes while they are alive rather than after they pass away.
