Ramzan is a month of restraint and patience, which, actress Ayesha Omar thinks is important for us to learn in order to refrain from being quick to pass judgement and hurting others.
In an Instagram post, the ‘Bulbulay’ actress called this her favourite month because it helps her practice self-control and discipline, as well as purify the mind, body and soul:
“My favourite month has started. Time to practice self-control and discipline, time to reset, to detox, to purify the body, mind and soul, time to find our centres and our ground, time to ponder over our being and our habits, time to practice compassion and kindness towards ourselves and others, time to pray and meditate and set a precedence for the rest of the year.”
Actor and singer Ayesha Omar was a guest on UrduFlix’s “The Shoaib Akhtar Show” where she offered advice to young women who wanted to form a career in the entertainment industry.
Omar stressed that the most essential tip for women to remember is that if they’ve shifted to a new city, it is safer to live in an apartment building rather than a house: “I was just giving this advice to a girl who had shifted to Karachi and was an actor. She was terrified because someone had smashed the windows of her car outside her house. I told her it’s essential that if she’s living alone, she lives in an apartment rather than a house. This is for all women who are divorced, or moving out of their parents homes and want to live independently, it’s the safest thing for them to live in apartment buildings. Given the realities of this country, we have to adjust to it. You can’t change them. You have to be careful, you can’t fight everything.”
The second tip Omar revealed was to learn to be independent, and stop relying on other people to complete your tasks:
“Take care of your health and your expenses on your own. You cannot expect that you’ll find help out there. It’s your body and your life so take care of it. I take care of my own food, clothes and makeup wherever I go, and there is a lot of joy in doing so. You’re less stressed out as well… I’ve learned that if there are 20 people whom you keep requesting to do your work, those 20 people won’t do it. So you must conserve your energy and do things on your own.”
Sanam Jung was also a guest along side Omar, and she also told aspiring actors to remember not to reveal your personal struggles to people in the industry.
“Never share your home issues or financial problems with anyone in the industry, because they take advantage and they will take you for granted.They will know how desperate you are for work, so they’ll call you at inappropriate hours,” she said.
Actor Sami Khan was trending on Twitter yesterday when a clip of his appearance at “The Fourth Umpire”.
The hosts of the comedy show used inappropriate expressions about Khan’s career. In the clip shared by Galaxy Lollywood, the actor can be seen being asked about his film career, pay grade and other questions that are deemed insulting
As this clip went viral, celebrities came to defend Khan and criticized the hosts of ‘The Fourth Umpire’ for their cruel behavior.
Muneeb Butt defended Khan as an “amazing artist and phenomenal actor” and called out the host Sheikh Qasim for his misbehavior
“Sami bhai is an amazing artist and a phenomenal actor no one has a right to insult him like this Strongly condemn this act of sheikh Qasim he should apologise!”
Actresses Ayesha Omar and Armeena Khan also came to Khan’s defense, by pointing out that the clip was not funny at all and was infact, quite uncomfortable to watch.
“This was so uncomfortable to watch. @sami_khan.official is a fabulous actor and one of the most respectful, committed, professional and joyful people to work with and bravo to him for handling this with so much grace. degradating your guests or anyone else is not funny at all. If he wasn’t successful, he wouldn’t be a guest in their show” wrote Ayesha Omar.
Armeena Khan said “So rude and not funny at all. Sami is a phenomenal actor, incredibly popular within the fraternity, a true professional. A gentleman and one of my fav co-stars. He maintained his composure despite all the insults thrown at him here. You’re the best Sami!”
Actor Ghana Ali shared that Khan had many succesful shows in the past, and because he wasn’t currently the most popular actor doesn’t mean he won’t ever be.
“Is this man ok? there are so many hit projects of his , if Sami bhai dosent have successful career then who does he’s consistently on top from years hes an amazing actor! And extremely humble , how can they even allow him to talk to him like that … that’s a shame”
Sami Khan addressed the controversy on his Instagram stories last night where he shared that success and failure was not in the hands of people, but rather in the hands of God.
Ayesha Omar made headlines in both Pakistan and India when her sensual photoshoot with the former Pakistani cricket player Shoaib Malik went viral on social media. Rumors began swirling about estrangement between Malik and his wife, former Indian tennis player Sania Mirza, with speculations of a divorce in the works. Omar and Malik became the target of gossip, with stories of the two having an affair which led to the cricketer’s marriage falling apart.
Now on a talk show with Shoaib Akhtar, Omar made it clear that she isn’t interested in married men.
“I will never be attracted to a married or committed man ever. Everyone knows me… that goes without saying,” she said.
When Akhtar asked her about the controversial photoshoot, Omar responded that the rumors of their affair started in India and then arrived in Pakistan.
Previously in 2021, an instagram user had taunted Omar by asking her when she will be getting married to Malik, and she shut down the rumor directly:
“Absolutely now. He is married and is very happy with his wife. I respect Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza a lot. Shoaib is a good friend of mine and also a professional colleague. He respects me a lot as well. There are also relationships like these which don’t revolve around marriages,” wrote the Bulbulay actor.
Actor Ayesha Omar is ready to embark on the next phase of life and start a family soon. In a recent tell-all at a digital talk show, the Habs diva spoke at length about her personal life, plans to get married, have children – of herself, and adopt.
She also confessed that she is now ‘ready’ to be a mother and have a family. “I think now I’m ready to be a mother and I want to start a family soon,” Omar told the host.
Omar added, “I want to get married and adopt two children and somewhere along the way, I’d love to have a baby of my own too.”
“Until now I wasn’t ready but now that I am, things will start happening,” the celeb divulged.
In her latest Instagram post, she posted a picture of her to highlight society’s role in forming a person’s most private thoughts and emotions.
“We seldom realise for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not our own, for we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by society,” the quote read.
Celebrity athletes Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza carved their own unique cross-border love story when they announced their marriage 12 years back.
The tennis star and veteran cricketer are parents to a son Izhaan Mirza Malik.
However, netizens started to express their concern for the duo’s marriage after Mirza shared some cryptic posts on Instagram.
Sania Mirza has been sharing posts about rough times on her social media:
She also shared a picture with her son Izhaan with a caption that moments with her son help her get through the hardest times:
According to some local publications, Sania was affected by Shoaib’s budding friendship with a female contestant on his show, The Ultimate Muqabla. However, the authenticity of this matter is doubtful.
These posts made social media users furious.
Latest Development:
Shoaib was recently asked to address the alleged divorce in an interview, he slammed the constant media pressure on the topic. Shoaib said, “It is our personal matter. Neither I, nor my wife is answering this question. Leave it alone.” He neither denied the news, nor accepted it.
When questioned about stepping into showbiz, Shoaib said that he will always be open to any prospect saying, “I do not close any door for myself. If a good opportunity comes up, I will not refuse.” He added that he has already hosted a couple of shows.
After excerpts from this interview went viral, Shoaib surprised his fans by updating his Instagram Bio. Malik added, “Husband to a superwoman, @saniamirza”.
Actor Mehwish Hayat even liked this update when a portal posted this.
However, the all-rounder added that he barely gets much time to dedicate to a showbiz career with his family.
The duo recently announced their chat show for an online platform. This cross-border couple would be hosting The Mirza Malik Show together for Urduflix.
In an interview with Gulf News, the couple shared the show will not be controversial in any way and aims to spread the cross-cultural love they experience in disguise. “It will be a whole lot of love and laughter. I think those two things are very important to us, even as people,” revealed Mizra, explaining the concept. “Everybody that we know, knows that we deal with most things with humour and that is something that helps us a lot.”
Both ace sportspersons, with their demanding careers, deal with a high emotional quotient on a daily basis and the couple shared that their collective coping mechanism is humour and that will be evident in the show as well “The goal is to try to bring that laughter, love and joy, not just to the audience but also to the guests that are going to come on the show,” shared Mirza. “We don’t want to reveal everything. It’s not a comedy show but it is a show where we are going to try to have as much fun as possible and still try to find meaning in it.”
Malik sheepishly shared how Mirza has been coaching him on acting and hosting given her past appearances in many talk shows, including the most-talked-about notorious chat show, Koffee With Karan.
“I have been taking classes from her as she’s good! It’s going to be great fun for me. I’ve done some shows, but it was only on a social media platform and all those shows were with my friends. I had so much fun while doing them (interviews), and a lot of people enjoyed it also. I always wanted to do a show from the studio and that’s what is going to happen,” shared the cricketer.
Shoaib also wished his ladylove on her Birthday with a special post.
The celebrity pair were glimpsed together in a recent behind-the-scenes clip of their upcoming reality show The Mirza Malik Show.
The two can be seen posing with actors Fahad Mustafa, Humayun Saeed, and Adnan Siddiqui. The picture was posted on Instagram by Pakistan’s first Urdu OTT platform Urduflix. Another image was also posted, drawing interest from fans who got a first look at the pair’s forthcoming talk show.
The celebrity couple appeared together on Ahsan Khan’s talk show earlier this year, where the duo displayed their fun camaraderie.
During a segment of the show, the Indian Tennis star stated that “Shaoib Ke par nikal ayen hain, kuch zyada hi nikal ayen hai, lagta haikatnay parenge.”
She also revealed on the show that Shaoib spends a lot of time in the toilet, surfing the internet, and getting all the news updates.
While Shoaib spilled the beans about their first meeting in 2004, he said that a media person introduced the two to each other and Sania showed him a lot of attitude.
However, when they met the next time in 2009, Sania thought him to be very good looking and the duo fell in love after developing an understanding.
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.
The Daldal star
Armeena was last seen in Mohabbatien Chahatein costarring Junaid Khan and Hira Mani.
Earlier this year when actor Ayesha Omar shared a horse-riding video from the sets of her film, Rehbra costarring Ahsan Khan, her post received backlash over their supposed explicit pose. The Bulbulay diva later edited the caption to include a note specifically aimed at those who had something unpleasant to say about it.
“P.s. turned off comments! Don’t want negative energy around. We just doing our work baby and laughing through the hard, tough shoot to keep our energy, mood and focus up. It was freezing and raining and we hadn’t slept properly in days because of nonstop shoot. We had 30 minutes to finish the entire sequence. We still put in our best with smiles on our faces. And that’s NOT easy,” she wrote in the caption.
The duo was quick to respond on their personal profiles, with Omar adding in a short note in her original post’s caption. In the note, Omar clarifies the context of the clip, including the cast keeping up morale in the midst of difficult shooting conditions. She wraps up her note by shutting down all unfounded rumors about a romantic relationship between her and Khan.
The Udaari hero also posted an Instagram story to defend the film from the trolls, taking a more humorous approach. He directly addresses the trolls who have torn apart a simple scene from the film.
Now the Fraud star has opened up on the scene in an exclusive interview with anchor Shahzad Iqbal on his show, Jashn-e-Cricket.
Although initially Ahsan couldn’t control his laughter on being teased by Shahzad for the scene, later he revealed that the video was misinterpreted by netizens.
Khan also shared the context of the scene and justified the duo’s positioning on the horse.
Romanian singer Adrian Sina, who is better known as Akcent has expressed love for The Current’s latest interview promo with Ayesha Omar and Ahsan Khan.
In the interview, the Bulbulay diva is seen opening up on her connection with Akcent. Ayesha reveals, “It started when he once stated in an interview that from Pakistan if he wants to collaborate with someone in acting or singing, it’s Ayesha Omar.”
Since then the two have been connected on Instagram. Adrian was quick to drop multiple red hearts in the interview’s comment section.
The Rehbra duo also answered multiple entertaining questions ranging from their bold shoots to controversies.
Earlier this year Akcent announced that he will be arriving in Pakistan to spend the holidays in Hunza. He aims to show the world that Pakistan is a ‘safe and beautiful country.
The How Deep Is Your Love singer turned to Instagram and Twitter simultaneously and posted a video wherein he can be heard saying “Hello, this is Akcent and I am so happy to see you again in Pakistan.”

In the caption of the video, Sina said “Hello Pakistan, This time I have decided to spend some of my holidays in Hunza Pakistan to show the world that Pakistan is a Safe and Beautiful country.”
The Romanian singer has held several music concerts in Pakistan in the past.
Pakistani fans welcomed Akcent’s announcement in the comment section. Ayesha was quick to warmly welcome him to Pakistan.
She commented “Welcome!!!!” followed by a heart emoji.
Last month, he also turned to social media and said “I have been to Pakistan many times and I always felt it like a home.”
Actor Naumaan Ijaz is receiving flak on social media for putting actress Ayesha Omar in an uncomfortable spot on his chat show.
He started off by telling the Bulbulay star that it is considered about her that she does many controversial things, He asks her if she does it intentionally?
The Parizaad actor then cited examples of her bold shoots and said, “Kabhi apki bold shoots aa jati hain, kuch ap statements aisi deti hain,”
He added that in his opinion she shouldn’t have opened up about certain topics from her past just because someone from the industry broke her silence on the topic. It can damage your image, he said.
Ayesha seemed to be uncomfortable throughout his questioning. She replied by saying, “Kisi ki dekha dekhi nahi, (I don’t do it because others are doing it.)
Naumaan cut her in between and said that we need to be conscious about the society we’re living in.
Ayesha then answered that, “I try to bring the truth to the forefront and be authentic.”
Naumaan asked her, if she gains anything by being honest?
He later cited the example of the Rehbra diva opening up about sexual harassment in the industry and asked her that why did she talked about it?
This made Ayesha emotional and she said that it gives strength and inspiration to oppressed women. “I got strength when a colleague opened up about and its not to gain limelight,” she said
Naumaan then changed the topic and commented on her dress that why has she come wearing a night suit on his show?
Netizens are calling out Naumaan for his statements and conduct with a female actor and termed his stance as sexist.
