  • Actor Imran Abbas talks about his mother’s loss

    Actor Imran Abbas has been a big star for more than twenty years, and people still love him a lot for his looks, talent, and kindness. He’s also very open about how much he loves his family. Recently, he shared some of his feelings for his late mother with his fans on Nida Yasir’s show ‘Shan e Suhoor’.
    He suffered a major loss, losing both his parents and a close sister within two years. Tears flowed freely as he remembered his mother waiting for him at home. Imran stressed that we often fail to realize the significance of our parents until they are no longer with us. His bond with his mother was profound; she held immense importance in his life.

    “My mother’s food is the best food I have ever tasted. She used to make my favorite dishes, and even at the end, she made a kheer for me, which was in the refrigerator when she passed away.” He stored that kheer in a freezer, and it stayed with him for two years after her death until one day a house help accidentally threw it away.

    Imran recalled, “My mother’s hair always smelled of fresh jasmine flowers. She observed purdah, so I have never shared a picture of her even after her death, but she was a very beautiful lady.” He revealed that she passed away in his arms.

I wanted something from the old days, a deep red. Warda Salim didn’t make it too bold, which was good, but I wanted the traditional red outfit from our grandmothers’ era. I wanted it as red as possible because my walima outfit was white. His (husband’s) reaction, seen on our Instagram, was just ‘Wow.’ He said, ‘This is the most beautiful thing you wore.’

We often learn important things from our closest family members, especially when we reconnect after a long time. You also notice many positive qualities in them. Every family goes through challenges, and ours became public because of my parents’ fame. Our reunion followed a period of reconciliation.

There was a time when I felt angry about his absence, but now I look at things differently. I try to find positivity in every situation.”

  • Meesha Shafi wins initial defamation case against ARY UK

    Meesha Shafi wins initial defamation case against ARY UK

    A High Court in the United Kingdom has found that New Vision TV, the broadcaster of ARY UK, has defamed singer Meesha Shafi in a December 2020 broadcast.

    The broadcast was aired by ARY UK on December 5, 2020, in which reports were presented by newsreaders and on tickers as evidence.

    In a preliminary hearing, the court found out that the channel had deliberately made defamatory remarks by implying that Meesha was failing to comply with court orders over two years and that the channel depicted Shafi as “someone who does not comply with legal requirements laid down by a court and engages in such behaviour repeatedly”.

    The channel is now required to submit its defence to the court by January 26, 2024.

    “Such an assertion would have the tendency of lowering the claimant [Ms Shafi] in the estimation of right-thinking people generally; it is contrary to the common shared values of our society for people to deliberately ignore court orders requiring them to attend court, and to do so repeatedly over an extended period…The claimant is a very high-profile Pakistani celebrity who has taken a leading role in the advancement of women’s rights, holding herself out as an example to society. Given the claimant’s standing, the words complained of are likely to have a seriously adverse impact on the way the claimant is treated, thus satisfying the seriousness threshold,” the court asserted.

    The court examined the evidence in the broadcast, which said: “She [Ms Shafi] came to Pakistan, did her work and left. Singer Meesha Shafi threw the court orders to the winds. She came to Pakistan, recorded a song, and then returned to Canada. She did not present herself in court. Ali Zafar has filed a defamation lawsuit against Meesha.”

    In 2018, Ms Shafi accused singer and actor Ali Zafar of sexual harassment, in what was thought to be the first #MeToo moment in Pakistan.
