  • ‘Husbands fat-shaming wives is justified’: Hira Mani opens up on weight issues, losing 8 Kgs

    Actor Hira Mani recently shared in an interview alongside her husband Salman Saqib that husbands who taunt their wives on weight gain are essentially helping women maintain their bodies.

    ” I can’t do hard weights. I do, however, take a clean diet. I have a terrible sweet tooth. So whenever I treat myself with Falooda, I train harder.”

    Mani was then inquired if he ever had to lose weight. “I did,” he told the host. “I exercised, I did calorie deficit, portion control, intermittent fasting, OMAD.” Hira chimed in, “No matter how busy we are, Mani and I make sure to go for a run or a walk once a day. He [Mani] helped me shed the extra weight I had put on. I had no trainer this time around, Mani helped me through it and the results were amazing.”

    She added, “I had gained so much weight! I weighed around 64 kgs. That’s when Mani pointed out.” Mani further commented, “Yes, but remember you watched that drama serial of yours.” Hira recalled, “Yes! I saw that show and couldn’t recognise myself onscreen and thought, ‘Who is this aunty?’ That’s when Mani said, let’s go for a run. He helped me reduce 10 kgs in three months. No other trainer could help me achieve this target.”

    Mani quipped, “She also controlled her diet.”

    The Kashf star went on to reveal how Mani ‘taunts’ her often with how well-maintained Bollywood actors are. “He would taunt me so much!” Hira shared, “Mani would often say look at Katrina, look at Kareena – well, even Kareena is fat now – look at Deepika! I keep telling him that I am not Deepika or Katrina. I have two kids! He taunts. But I think that’s fair too. Husbands who taunt their wives are justified in doing so if it helps women to lose their weight.” Hira then goes on to thank Mani.

    “But even Hira taunts me now!” Mani remarked. “She taunts me as well now. She says look at Hrithik, look at Shahid. So now, I have to lose weight as well.” Hira then said, “I mean, Imran Khan has gotten so many treatments done on his face, his hair. So has Maryam Nawaz Sharif. So I said, ‘Mani, you should also get a hair transplant.’

    Earlier in an interview with Urdu News, she said that she would have married her husband Salman Saqib even if he was already married to someone else.

    The Sun Yaara star stated, “People often ask me why I credit my success to Mani. My only response to that is that there is no one else like him. He is a supportive husband, a responsible father, and a talented artist.”

    The Do Bol diva also talked about the controversy surrounding her confessions in an interview with senior actor Samina Pirzada. she said, “People criticise me because I stole Mani’s number from my friend’s phone and messaged him behind her back, but the truth is, I have no regrets. People can say what they want,” adding, ” Even if Mani was married to someone else, I would have married him regardless.”

    Hira and Salman recently appeared on Ahsan Khan’s chat show, Timeout with Ahsan Khan and she revealed that Mani makes new ids on social media to abuse political rivals of the opposition party as he supports Mustafa Kamal.

    On the work front, Hira is currently featuring in Yun Toh Pyar Hai Buhat opposite Affan Waheed.

    ‘Alizeh ne to kaha me aungi hi nahi’: Nida Yasir makes a revelation about Alizeh Shah

    The cast of ARY Digital’s Yeh Na Thi Hamari Kismat, headlined by Hira Mani, Muneeb Butt and Aiza Awan appeared on Nida Yasir’s morning show, on which the cast got candid about their drama and social media interests.

    While discussing the primetime slots of television, Hira revealed that she was warned by her industry friends when she signed a 9pm slot’s drama, Mein Haari Piya. She was told that dramas of this slot are like soaps and A-listers shouldn’t do it.

    Muneeb mentioned that they signed this new drama knowing that it will air at 8pm’s slot.

    Nida was quick to add that when Yasir Nawaz’s drama Mera Dil Mera Dushman was moved to the 9pm slot he also got really angry and disappointment, she added further that his co-star Alizeh Shah got upset and said that she wouldn’t come to the shoot because she had issues with the drama’s time slot.

    Actor Naveed Raza appeared on Timeout With Ahsan Khan, the Khel Khel Mein star opened up on Alizeh Shah and Yasir Nawaz’s feud. He also revealed about a blasting phone call between Alizeh Shah and Humayun Saeed.

    Due to Covid’19 pandemic the shooting schedules got disturbed of the team. Humayun being the producer tried to convince all the actors to allot new dates to wrap up the show, he also wanted to extend the successful drama, however according to Naveed, the Ehd-e-Wafa star refused to cooperate and even lashed out at him saying, “You will give me work? I am not short of offers.”

    She also refused for an extension of the show.

    The Punjab Nahi Jaunga star was left embarrassed.

    Naveed said that, “Talking to your senior actor like this is called rudeness, which is completely wrong.”

    He concluded by saying that no matter how successful you are, you cannot talk to a senior like that.

    Earlier in June 2021, celebrity couple Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir appeared on Ahsan Khan’s show Time out with Ahsan Khan. During the interview, Nida revealed that Yasir had regrets about working with Alizeh Shah in the drama serial Mera Dil Mera Dushman.

    On being asked by the host, Nida said that Yasir had some difficulty working with the Ehd-e-wafa star and building a chemistry with her since they played a married couple in the serial.

    Naveed stated, ‘Yasir is a veteran actor and director, who gave her the right to misbehave with him?”

    He added, “She demanded to cut his lines and scenes with her.”

    ‘When the two used to be in the make-up room, and Yasir would dry his hair, she asked the assistant to shift Yasir’s seat somewhere far and cited that the heated air of the dryer is bothering her.”

    She should be grateful that a star like Yasir worked with her.

    In July 2021, the Ishq Tamasha star has shared her stance on the matter by saying that, “Everyone connects to a person differently, just like our families, we don’t get along with everyone.”

    She added, “We can’t always get along and one should expect the same behaviour same as they behave themselves, if you will misbehave with me, I will not stay quiet. I will respond back.”
