    Yasir Nawaz once got a false reading from a palmist

     
     
    Imagine a palmist telling your wife you have four kids from two marriages, while that is completely untrue. 

    Director and actor Yasir Nazwaz couldn’t help but laugh when he shared that he once found himself in the strange prediction on Hasna Mana Hai. 


     
    Appearing as a guest on the show with host Tabish Hashmi, Yasir shared some funny and surprising stories from his life.
     


     
    Yasir remembered a strange moment when a palmist made a completely false claim about his family.


     
    “I don’t even remember his name; he had come on Nida’s show. During the break or after the show ended, he randomly said to Nida, ‘You have three kids, but Yasir has four kids.’ Nida responded, ‘What do you mean?’ He added, ‘I did the math; Yasir has four kids and two marriages.’ Nida clarified, ‘No, no, there’s only one marriage and no such thing,’” Yasir Nawaz explained.

    Things took an unexpected turn after the palmist’s comment.


     
    Yasir Nawaz said, “Later, Nida shared with me that this strange guy had said such things and left. What a foolish man! Fifteen days later, my trainer brought a child, and I held the child for a picture, which was then posted online. People started asking, ‘Whose child is this? What’s going on?’ I’ve dealt with people who are unnecessarily presumptuous like this.”
     


    The host asked, “Tell me something, you have so many fans around the world, share a memorable incident with a fan, like at the airport?”


     
     
    Yasir Nawaz replied, “This happened in Islamabad. My weight at that time was around 105 or 110 kg. Actually, it was exactly 108 kg. I was quite healthy back then. Nida (my wife) was with me. She was casually dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. A woman approached us. This sweet and innocent woman came up to us. She said, ‘Assalamu Alaikum, I’m a big fan of yours. I’ve watched all your dramas.’ She was so happy. I thanked her, feeling proud. She had her daughter with her.”
     
     
     
    But things took a funny turn when the woman mistakenly thought Nida was Yasir’s daughter.  


     
    Yasir Nawaz laughed and said, “Now, Nida wasn’t wearing any makeup, the woman was all excited and asked if the girl with me was my daughter. I laughed and said, ‘Yes, she’s like my daughter.’ The woman smiled and said, ‘Oh, Silah right?’ I played along and said, ‘Yes, this is Sila.The woman then asked Silah to come over for a picture. She spent around 10 minutes with us. Nida couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. I joined in the comedic mood too. But after that, I decided to seriously work on reducing my weight. The woman left thanking me, saying she had such a good laugh.”

  • Here’s why Laila Zuberi turned down Raj Kapoor’s Bollywood offer

    Here’s why Laila Zuberi turned down Raj Kapoor’s Bollywood offer

    What would you do if a Bollywood legend like Raj Kapoor offered you a role in his film?  For veteran actress Laila Zuberi, the answer was simple: stay true to Pakistan. 

    Appearing as a guest on  Tabish Hashmi’s Hasna Mana Hai, Laila revealed a significant offer she once received and declined from Bollywood legend Raj Kapoor.

    One of the audience members asked, “You have done many famous and hit dramas, Mashallah. Have you ever received an opportunity or an offer from another country, and you chose Pakistan over that?”

    To this, Laila replied, “Yes, absolutely, something like that happened once. We were invited to the Sharjah Cup, where we met Raj Kapoor Sahab, and he offered me a role in his film. 

    “We even had some pictures taken, and he asked me for an autograph. He said they show our dramas at his Pune Academy for teaching purposes. It was a very proud moment for me, but I thought that I should work for Pakistan.”

    In the same conversation, the Jafaa actress shared a surprising and slightly unsettling experience with an overly excited fan.

    “Another time, a fan followed me around so much that she said, ‘I want to wash your feet,’ and she was that persistent. One day, she came to me and said her only wish was for me to give her the water I used to wash my feet so she could drink it. I was quite disgusted by the thought and couldn’t bring myself to do it,” Laila shared.

    The host, Tabish Hashmi, asked, “I heard that beggars have often interacted with you in life. Once, when you were playing the role of a gypsy in a drama, a group of nomads approached us. Where was this?”

    Laila Zuberi also spoke about her immersive acting experiences, including playing a nomadic girl in the drama Khak Ja.

    “This wasn’t on set. We were shooting a drama called Khak Ja in Quetta. I was playing the character of a nomadic girl wearing tattered clothes and looking rugged. We were shooting on the streets, and many beggars gathered around us. The producer asked them to move because the shoot was in progress. The beggars replied, ‘You’re making something for her. Why not make something for us too?’” she explained.

    Laila Zuberi starred in dramas such as  Aabroo, Chhaon,  Koshish, Guest House, Durr-e Shehwar,  Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri, and  Pagal Khana, and is currently starring in Jafaa.

    People were paid to troll me: Nadia Khan 

     
    Television host and actress Nadia Khan shared that she was a target of organized trolling, with people being paid to criticize her.
     
     During her appearance on Hasna Mana Hai, Nadia talked about how concentrated negativity was often aimed at her Ramazan and other TV shows. 
     
     The host Tabish Hashmi asked, “The question is, I noticed during your recent Ramadan show that it often seemed like some things were being forced, with a lot of questions being asked and controversies forming around how Nadia Khan was questioning people?”
     
     Nadia replied, “If this had happened a few years ago, there wouldn’t have been any issues, but now there’s a new model of policing on social media. Different channels and people work against each other. When a new show starts, people on social media claim that money is being paid to troll you.” 
     
     She emphasized the pressures she faced from industry rivals, explaining, “I was told that to counter this, I should also spend money on it. I said don’t have extra money for such nonsense. I decided to let it be, but I have to say that this is a reality. A new trend was emerging, and if it had become a hit, other channels would have been uncomfortable with it. Money was indeed spent to troll that show, to create viral content against it.” 
     
    Nadia is currently leading her show Kya Drama Hai on Channel 24, where

  • Syed Mohammad Ahmed reveals his favorite death scene

    Syed Mohammad Ahmed reveals his favorite death scene

    In Pakistani dramas, some actors seem to die in almost every role. Actor and writer Syed Mohammad Ahmed is one of them.

    Recently Syed Mohammed Ahmed appeared as a guest on ‘Hasna Mana Hai’ where he shared his favorite death scene.

    A fan in the audience asked, “Sir, like you appear in almost all Pakistani dramas, and coincidentally, you often die in them as well. So, which is your favorite death scene?”

    Syed Ahmed replied, “The best one was in Sabaat, and the funniest death was in Neeli Zinda Hai. I was hit on the head. The third one, which will be a good death, is coming soon. It’s in the drama Sunn Mere Dil. I’m going to die in a different way, and the camera angle was different too.”

    The host asked, “If you had to write your own death scene, how would you write it?”

    “I would write it so that there’s just a mention that I’ve passed away quietly in the background, without showing any dramatic scene or anyone crying over it,” The Meray Pass Tum ho actor replied.

    He has starred in dramas such as Shaista Shaista, Durr-e-Shehwar, Suno Chanda 2, Sinf-e-Aahan and Radd.

    Currently Syed Ahmed is starring in Sunn Mere Dil, written by controversial writer Khalil-Ur Rehman Qamar and directed by Haseeb Hassan.

    Bushra Ansari does not like that Chahat Fateh Ali Khan got overnight fame

     

     Nowadays, with social media, it’s easier than ever to become famous overnight.  Social media sensation Chahat Fateh Ali Khan gained to fame by creating funny parodies of well songs. He gained 20 million views on YouTube in just one month with his most recent rendition of ‘Bado Badi,’ a song by Madam Noor Jahan.

     Veteran actress Bushra Ansari, however, takes exception to social media fame. The comedian appeared as a guest on ‘Hasna Mana hai’, where she talked about the overnight sensation.   When host Tabish Hashmi asked, “Nowadays, I’ve seen singers like Chahat Fateh Ali Khan performing in a certain way, do you find it funny, or do you see it insulting,”

     Bushra replied, “May Allah grant him a long life, I feel sad to see how people go viral for certain things. I just don’t understand it, it’s beyond my comprehension. This trend is definitely wrong, and there are others involved as well. I can’t recall their names, but some are quite strange. I’m shocked by how songs are misused in this way.”  While Bushra Ansari is entitled to her view, Chahat has said in many interviews that he works very hard on his songs and that it took him many years to gain fame.

     She is currently starring in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum which is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood. Its airs on ARY Digital on Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM.

So, he too does not perform,” said Hashmi.

    “That song is so powerful, so satirical and musical that you could listen to it in the car,” Sanjay remarked.

    The other person Sanjay mentioned was Faris Shafi, pointing out that the rapper’s lyrics are quite impressive.

    The clip circulated widely on social media, and even got an acknowledgment from Ali himself.

    Fawad Alam reveals which bowler made his legs tremble

    Test cricketer Fawad Alam has spoken about facing the most dangerous bowler in his career.

    Aisam ul Haq Qureshi and Fawad Alam appeared on the Geo News programme “Hasna Mana Hai,” where they both faced a flood of questions.

    Vicky Chaudhry, a cricket who played with Babar Azam at the Malton White Club, also took part in the show and posed the question to Fawad, “Which bowler makes your legs shiver?”

    To which he replied, “Shaun Tait is one such bowler who I played for the first time in Australia, so at that time I only played two balls of Tait.”

    “Although my legs do not tremble, there are some bowlers I enjoy playing with. Shaun Tait is one of the fastest bowlers I’ve enjoyed playing with, and I’ve never seen a bowler like that before,” Fawad added.

    Vicky asked whether there was a bowler he thought was easy to handle.

    Fawad said that it is possible to presume that some of a team’s bowlers may be attacked, but you can’t assume that all of the bowlers are “halwa” or easy to play.
