    Actor Sajal Aly recently discussed her viewpoint and choice on marriage in an interview at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. The talented artist was accompanied by Jemima Goldsmith and legendary performer Shabana Azmi.

    When asked about her thoughts on love and arranged marriage, the Alif actress stated, “It is too early for me to say anything about love or arranged. But I just feel like, I just believe in love marriages, I just believe in love. And anyway, a wedding is just a risk be it arranged or love. That’s all I can say.”

    Earlier this year, Sajal shared her take on the meaning of true love while chatting with Hello Pakistan while shooting for its cover with her Sinf-e-Aahan costar Sheheryar Munawar.

    In March 2022, Sajal officially parted ways with her ex-husband Ahad Raza Mir.

  • Yasir Hussain is looking forward to son Kabir’s friendship with Alia Bhatt’s daughter, netizens react

    Yasir Hussain is looking forward to son Kabir’s friendship with Alia Bhatt’s daughter, netizens react

    Actor and director Yasir Hussain is known for expressing his controversial takes on social media. Now the Jhooti star has made an unexpected comment while sharing the news of Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s newborn daughter.

    The Baandi star wrote, “Tabhi Aaj kabir bohot khush hai. Do mulkon ki dosti k liye mai tayaar hun.” (No wonder why Kabir is happy today. I am ready to help both nations befriend each other.)

    The post was an indirect prediction of Kabir Hussain’s bond with the Kapoor baby.

    Netizens trolled the Koyal director’s comments for his statement, registering their opinions.

    Yasir yet again received flak for his statement as netizens started a troll fest on social media.

    Hussain recently grabbed headlines for mocking actors who claimed to skip Hum Awards, in solidarity with the flood victims.

    The Lahore Se Aagay hero wrote, “Jo actor(s) baqwas kar rahay hain ke wo khud nahi gaye, unko business class ticket nahi di. Maine chat parhi hai beta. (I have read the chats, the actors who are claiming utter rubbish that they skipped the award show themselves, weren’t provided with business class tickets.)”

    Hussain’s statement for actors who skipped the award show came after Azfar Rehman announced on Instagram that he opted out of his participation in the 2022 HUM Awards in Canada to express solidarity with the flood victims in Pakistan.

    The Aatish star was praised by his industry colleagues and netizens for his generous act.

    He said he has withdrawn “by choice with due respect to the coveted event”.

    “Sorry to disappoint my fans in Toronto Canada, I shall not be attending the HUM Awards this year even though I’m nominated in the best actor in a negative role category. I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters drowning in the floods. I request the authority at the awards to kindly donate my ticket and stay money to the flood relief,” he wrote, adding the hashtag Pakistan Zindabad.

    Celebrities like Ayesha Omar, Mehwish Hayat, Nadia Afgan, Ali Kazmi, Sadaf Kanwal and Shagufta Ejaz praised Rehman for his stance.

    The award show organisers and attendees were scrutinised on social media for their timing. Amongst these attendees was Yasir Hussain, who has now made an indirect dig at Azfar.

    Although Hussain didn’t tag Rehman in his post but since Azfar is the only mainstream actor who announced this publicly, it is pretty evident that Yasir has slammed him.

    Last year on Aagha Ali and Hina Altaf’s The Couple Show, Yasir Hussain said that Azfar thinks that he’s a great actor but he’s absolutely not.

    A netizen recently commented a derogatory remark under his post, calling him, “a barking dog and a flop actor”.

    Yasir sarcastically replied to the troll by saying, “MashaAllah language.”

    ‘Remember praying to God to kill me’: Ayesha Omar shares horrific details of road accident with Azfar Rehman

    Actor Ayesha Omar has opened up about her horrific road accident with celebrity friend Azfar Rehman.

    In 2016, Omar was in a car accident with fellow actor Azfar Rehman and their driver on the Karachi to Hyderabad highway. Reflecting on the incident, she explained, “When I got into an accident, I faced my greatest fear of getting into an accident and that someone would come and kidnap and sexually abuse me, which felt worse than death. When it happened, the fear amalgamated.”

    She continued, “I was on the highway at the time, and I was in the middle of the road lying there, and a car stopped. A group of six to seven men got out… I have three to four broken bones so I couldn’t move, but I wasn’t bleeding. I was conscious and in shock and was screaming in pain. They came towards me to help but I was scared that they were going to come and sexually assault me. It happened recently with another woman. I had that fear six years ago… I remember bracing for the worst and praying to God to just kill me.”

She said, “But, they were just trying to help… that’s when I realised you cannot let your fears take over your life. Prepare for the worst but you have to believe in a positive outcome.”
