“Do take ki aurat,” has taken over social media and the Pakistani meme world. The episode was one of the biggest searches on Google yesterday, with people asking what will happen next.
Meme doing the rounds
ARY uploaded a ‘coming up next’ for episode 13 but it doesn’t say much….at all. The teaser shows Danish (Humayun Saeed) remembering Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) and her walking with Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui).
A lot of the shots look as if we have seen them in previous episodes, so here’s to hoping its not one of those ‘remembering’ episodes where Danish and Mehwish are sitting, reminiscing about the past. Boring. Especially after such a big high in episode 12.
High on the success of his film Parey Hut Love, it appears that Sheheyar Munawar has shot yet another ‘exciting project’ with creative genius Asim Raza in Turkey.
Pictures of the actor, director and their team at beautiful locales across the country have been silently making their way to social media over the past week.
Sheheryar later also posted a picture of himself with Asim on Instagram with the caption, “Had the opportunity of working with this genius again, on a very exciting and ambitious (to say the least) project.”
We’re pretty curious to know what the duo is up to. Have they started shooting their next film or is it just an advertisement? Guess we’ll have to wait and watch.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with The Current, Sheheryar had said that we will be seeing him next on the big screen “very soon” and it appears that it will be sooner than we expected.
The mystery surrounding Humaima Malick’s relationship status has been intriguing fans for a while now. The actor has been spotted with a mystery man, Akbar Dedhai, on more than one occasion making fans wonder what the deal is.
In a recent Instagram post, Humaima posted a picture of herself with Akbar and captioned it, “Purest one.”

Under another picture, which also had producer Ammara Hikmat in the frame, Humaima wrote, “With people who matter the most. “La Familia.”

Does that mean Humaima has finally revealed that she is a relationship with Akbar?
We can’t be too sure because Humaima has previously also shared pictures with her alleged beau. However, they were later deleted.
Meanwhile, back in Ramazan, Humaima also performed Umrah with Akbar and shared a selfie of the two in Makkah. This led fans to speculate that the two are married because Umrah cannot be performed without a mehram.
While it does seem that Humaima and Akbar are a couple we can only be sure when the actor makes an official comment on the matter. Till then we’ll have to wait patiently and keep our ‘inner aunty’ in check.
Humaima was previously married to actor-director Shamoon Abbasi. The two separated after a brief marriage and maintain that they are still friends.
On the work front, Humaima will be seen next in the much-anticipated The Legend of Maula Jutt.
You won’t be able to tell that 40 minutes went by in one of the fastest episodes of Meray Pass Tum Ho. Just 12 episodes in, the show is bound to be one of the biggest blockbusters in Pakistani drama history.
Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) has decided to leave her son and husband for loaded Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui). Husband Danish (Humayun Saeed) relents and tells her that she can go and as predicted serves her with divorce papers in this episode.
She doesn’t flinch when he gives them to her but there is a flicker – of shock or happiness, one can’t be certain – but she is definitely taken by surprise when he hands them to her.
One can’t be sure in the beginning of the episode of Danish’s motives. He brings a cake to celebrate his wedding anniversary with Mehwish, which seems like a really weird and creepy thing to do since she’s leaving him for another man.
Making Mehwish cut a wedding anniversary cake with him
The weirdness of it freaks Mehwish out too and she tell Shehwar to come over and get her – eight hours before she actually has to leave. We start to see cracks in Danish’s cool demeanour as he starts passing comments on his marriage with Mehwish – and we finally see that he really is incredibly angry and just very good at hiding it.
Mehwish on the other hand, couldn’t care less and one loses a little respect for her in this episode. When Danish hands her her phone, she finds that the phone is covered in Danish’s blood – blood from an accident he had had the same night. She ignores it – and checks for Shehwar’s message. Ouch.
Mehwish realizing Danish’s blood is on her hands
Her soon-to-be ex-husband and father of your child is bleeding and she couldn’t care less. Seems like a whole new Mehwish. Ayeza Khan had warned her fans not to watch this episode since they would hate her at the end of it. Don’t hate her but definitely don’t like her anymore.
Danish’s biting responses and out of the blue reactions make this episode a truly riveting watch. Humayun Saeed has done it again, proving he is the best actor in the industry. He succeeds in making everyone watching feel for him and also feel incredibly uncomfortable watching him behave and react so strangely. He offers his cheating wife and her lover tea and asks them to sit in his house- until he tells Mehwish to leave with Shehwar.
Danish made Shehwar and Mehwish chai after he gave Mehwish permission to call Shehwar over to take her
When walking them to the door, he says to Shehwar that, “waisey tou bohat intelligent businessman lagte hain aap, lekin yahan bhao karte huye hairaan kardia aapne mujhe. Is do takay ki larki kay liye aap mujhe 50 million dey rahe thay…“ and that’s it.
Danish telling Shehwar that Mehwish is a do take ki aurat
Mehwish hears it and realizes that that’s the moment she truly lost her husband – not when she told him she wanted to leave, not when he found out that she had an affair, not when he gave her divorce papers.
Mehwish realizes she’s lost her husband forever
She realizes that she’s lost the man who truly loved her when she’s walking out of her house and he reveals how he truly feels, you can tell – she has a flicker of admiration and fear for him. Admiration that he finally, finally stood up for himself and fear because now she knows that she can never come back.
Aisa ho nahi sakta keh Mahira Khan kisi shaadi per dance karain aur uski video viral na ho.
And that is exactly what happened when Mahira took over the dance floor with close friends designers Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, Kamiar Rokni and Feeha Jamshed at a recent wedding.
Watch them groove and twirl to Noor Jahan’s classic melody Sonay Diya Kangana in this video:
Mahira was last seen alongside Bilal Ashraf in the hit film Superstar. She is gearing up to shoot for her next film Nabeel Qureshi’s Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad alongside Fahad Mustafa.

Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and his directorial feature Kaaf Kangana may not have been a box-office success but the film and its maker has been dominating headlines for one reason or another.
First the film and its ‘interesting’ trailer, then Neelum Muneer’s bizarre item song, then DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor defending the item song and lastly Qamar himself saying that women should rape men if they want equality.
Yup, our head is spinning as much yours is.
Nonetheless, Qamar’s statements stirred up a social media storm and everyone began to call him out for his misogynistic and outdated comments.
Osman Khalid Butt, who is touted to be one of the most ‘woke’ celebrities to exist in the Pakistan film industry also called out Khalil ur Rehman for his comments.
‘Mard ke paas inkaar karnay ki kabliyat nahi hoti,’ I wail as my wife leaves me after my nth extramarital affair. ‘Barbaad bhi tussi karrahay ho, aur fir galaan vi,’ firing one last potshot as she slams the door in my face.
In an interview, the renowned screenwriter had said, “A few weeks ago, a feminist group had a conversation with me regarding equality. I asked them if they’ve ever heard about a gang of men kidnapping a woman? They assured me they have. I asked them then why don’t women do the same?”
“If you wish to strive for equality then kidnap men as well. Rob a bus, gang rape a man, so that I can understand what you [women] mean by equality.”
Qamar has several successful dramas to his credit including the current superhit Meray Paas Tum Ho.
Defending his ideas and “philosophy” around how he sees society, Qamar said that Meray Paas Tum Ho was “the story of several men, not just one”.
“I have come across multiple married couples who go through the same ordeal. I’ve observed when a married woman cheats, she doesn’t feel ashamed at all. The reason behind her not feeling guilty is because she has been backed by another man. When an unmarried woman cheats, she feels guilty.”
“Man in Pakistan misses the point of feminism” Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar, writer of the most misogynistic scripts on Pakistani TV labels himself a feminist but only of “good women”. WTH
Award-winning director Mansoor Mujahid and his friend Anab Zehra Hameed were handed life imprisonment for murdering their friend Faisal Nabi. The court also ordered them to pay Rs200,000 each as compensation to the legal heirs of the victim.
According to reports, a sessions court in Karachi found Mujahid and his friend Anab guilty of killing banker Faisal Nabi Malik, in an apartment in Defence Housing Authority in June 2013.
The prosecution, in their arguments, said that Mansoor and his friends were consuming drugs at Anab’s apartment when he allegedly shot dead the victim after they got into a heated argument on June 20, 2013.
They further added that the male accused along with his female partners shared a common intent to kill the victim. They shot the deceased with an unlicensed weapon and dumped the body in the parking lot of an apartment complex after stabbing and burning it with acid in order to hide his identity.
Sharing further details, the prosecution said that when an inquiry officer along with some relatives of the deceased questioned the accused, Mansoor confessed to having shot his friend twice while Anab disclosed to have stabbed the victim and poured acid over his body to confuse his identity. They led the police to a place where the body, pistol, daggers, bloodstained pillow and bedspread were found.
It added that Anab further disclosed during interrogation that the deceased had assaulted her a few days before the incident and she wrote it in her diary which was read by Mansoor.
Meanwhile, the victim’s driver had also seen the accused coming out of the place where he had dropped the victim.
Mansoor is the director of the award-winning film Seedlings, whose Urdu title was Lamha. The film stars Mohib Mirza and Aamina Sheikh in the lead while Gohar Rasheed was also part of the film. It won the ‘Best Feature Film’ (People’s choice) and ‘Best Lead Actress’ awards for Aamina Sheikh at its World Premiere in The New York City International Film Festival 2012.
It also bagged the ‘Best Feature Film’ award at the DC South Asian Festival in Washington in May 2013.
Mansoor was also involved in the making of numerous documentaries, music videos and narrative work for television.
In an earlier interview, Mujahid had said that he did not intend to kill his friend but it was in fact an accident.
The anticipation for Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly’s latest drama Ye Dil Mera was high. Even though the drama’s teasers made headlines for all the wrong reasons and were touted to glorify workplace harassment, fans and audiences were excited to see the real-life couple on the big screen.
The first episode of the drama aired this Wednesday and it was off to a mysterious start as audiences are introduced to the characters.
Noor-ul-Ain, played by Sajal Aly, is a happy-go-lucky girl with a dark past – viewers are just shown snippets of it. She lives with her overprotective Agha Jaan, played by Adnan Siddiqui, who has his daughter followed by guards at all times. Agha Jaan is so possessive of his daughter that he has his men beat up Aina’s university colleague because he flirted with Noor. So we’re a little wary of Agha Jaan’s character – he seems dubious.
On the other hand, we are introduced to Amaan, played by Ahad Raza Mir. From the glimpse the audiences are given, we’re assuming that he also has a mysterious past. Amaan is confident, successful and rich and Ahad gives off strong Christian Grey vibes as Amaan. There is more to Amaan than what meets the eye.
Noor and Amaan cross paths at a dholki where Amaan draws a sketch of Noor. What’s puzzling to both Aina and the viewers is that Amaan in his sketch drew a mark on Aina’s neck, a reminder of a haunting past, that she has covered up. The two later meet again when Amaan visits Aina’s university for an internship drive.
The pace of the first episode was a little slow while the flow was slightly bumpy because of weak editing. But considering it was only the first episode, we’re prepared to give it some time.
As far as the acting is concerned, Sajal, Ahad and Adnan delivered strong performances. Particularly noteworthy was Ahad’s performance as Amaan. Amaan has many shades to him and Ahad played them all finely – his expressions, mood and body language changed swiftly according to the mood of the show and deserve a round of applause. Looks like all his theatre work has polished his acting skills – not that he didn’t have them before.
Ye Dil Mera has been penned by the award-winning Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Aehsun Talish of Suno Chanda fame. Along with Ahad, Sajal, and Adnan, the drama’s cast also includes Rabia Butt, Zarnish Khan and Mira Sethi.
Hum TV has described it as a tale of “love and revenge” and from the look of it, the drama will be a thrilling one – unusual for the Pakistani screens.
