Mahira instantly clapped back with a savage response.
Aap ki zehniat aap ke lafzon mein saaf nazar aati hai. Meri kamai halal ki hai, warna aap ko achay school bhejnay ka zima mein uthati! Jahan tak baat rahi 2 takay ki.. hum jaisi auretein apney aap par qeemat nahi lagati, na hi kisi aur insaan par https://t.co/BghSMGrgVC
Following this, industry veterans including Humayun Saeed, Shaan and Humaima Malick jumped in to defend Mahira.
Humayun Saeed, who also included Mehwish Hayat in the coversation, asserted that a nation can’t progress “until we learn to respect our women and treat them with dignity.”
So unfortunate that there are still people who point fingers at incredibly hardworking, talented and self-made women like @MehwishHayat & @TheMahiraKhan. They’e role models for millions! We can’t progress as a nation until we learn to respect our women and treat them with dignity
Mehwish Hayat thanked Humayun for standing up for them.
Sad to see that when a man, a colleague, a friend stands up for a woman in this “MeToo era” even that isn’t acceptable .. or appreciated. Thank you @iamhumayunsaeed for your support. Glad to see that there are still a few gentlemen around these days with a sane voice https://t.co/Fhjs1JA3NH
Shaan remarked that Mahira has earned her respect through nothing else but sheer hard work.
Zubaan or alfaaz dono sai ap ka mayaar nazar ata hai.. bohat sharm a rahee hai apko Pakistani kehtay huway .. Mahira Khan is a Pakistani ⭐️ she has earned respect through her work .. learn to live with that #pakistanalwaysfirst
Meanwhile, Humaima Malick gave the troll a hard-hitting response.
Bibi Jee hum sub tu apnay jawab dey gay tum Kia moo lay k khuda k pass jaogi … jo Aik momin or woh bhi Aik aurat ko is tarha mukhatib karahi ho waqai bohat achi insaan or musalman ho tum https://t.co/40pf5wEcWK
Well, obviously, with the entry of Shahwar’s (Adnan Siddiqui) wife, Maham (Savera Nadeem) Shahwar and Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) were not going to get married. Maham enters the scene, sends the moulvi sahib packing, Shahwar to jail and kicks Mehwish out of the house. Her role is complete. She has taken back her money, dismissed her dirtbag husband and gotten rid of the woman he was having an affair with.
Maham takes control
All in one episode.
Oh, and Danish (Humayun Saeed) tells Hania (Hira Mani) that his son Roomi, wants him to marry her. So that’s out in the open now too.
Hania finds out that Roomi wants her to marry his father
Mehwish after getting thrown out of Maham’s house, goes back to her old home, realizing what she has lost. She wanders around, homeless and unsure about what to do. She goes to see her son at school, who meets her nicely, but tells her that he can’t tell his friends she’s his mother.
She meets her son in school who tells her that he doesn’t want her coming around. He’ll talk to her on the phone
She goes to meet Shahwar in jail who tells her to leave, because Maham would have a fit if she found out. All those promises, gone. He says to her that they had a good time when they were together. Mehwish can’t believe it. Her life as she knows it, is over.
Shahwar, yelling for the guards to take away this woman he doesn’t know
Adnan Siddiqui does a brilliant job in this episode of being the totally disengaged, uninterested, in-it-for-the-good-times guy we all knew he was. He looks through Mehwish like she is nothing – at one point screaming for the police to take her away. He says he doesn’t know who she is – and for a minute you might think, has he gone mad? No, he is just making sure he gets out of jail and Mehwish, means absolutely nothing to him anymore.
Mehwish ends up in a park, crying on a bench. In a very strange scene, a little girl tells her mother that look, that lady (Mehwish) is crying just like you. Who this lady is and why she’s crying, no one knows.
Girl watches Mehwish cry in the park
The only plausible reason to keep this scene in the episode is to show that Mehwish, the once rich and almost married beauty is now worse off than someone sitting in a bench on a park, crying. So realistic is the scene, that one realizes that Mehwish, who always had perfectly manicured nails in the series, now has broken, dirty ones. The attention to detail in this drama is intensely perfect.
Danish goes on to partner with his friend in his stock market firm and obviously is going to end up making a lot of money, that also because he bought shares in Shahwar’s company (oh the irony).
Mehwish is going to want Danish back. The teaser for episode 19 proves as much. And in a deep twist, the roles of Shahwar and Maham come to an end. Now comes the face off between Mehwish and Hania for Danish.
Danish’s face in the teaser when he realizes that Mehwish has called him, crying
Hania will most likely not back down, and Mehwish will want the love that she lost. But who will Danish choose? The women he loved with all his heart, who broke it but is still the mother of his child? Or the girl who would most likely never do him wrong, will cherish him, but is in fact, terribly boring? In this delicious episode the series takes a twist. And it will now all be about who is team Mehwish and who is team Hania.
Meray Paas Tum Ho is the biggest drama on air these days. Each episode receives millions of views within hours of being uploaded on Youtube and sparks debate on almost all social media channels.
The latest episode saw Mehwish and Shehwar finally about the tie the knot when Shehwar’s first wife, Maham, played by Savera Nadeem slaps a dramatic entry.
While the slap itself created waves, turns out Ayeza’s ivory and hot pink outfit, by designer Zainab Chottani also was a big hit.
According to Samaa News, the designer has been receiving tonnes of queries about the dress, which has already become a bestseller.
“I have received an influx of queries about the bridal dress,” the designer said, adding, “Since we are overbooked till April 2020, people are pre-booking the same dress for their weddings in June and July.”
Speaking about how the outfit ended up in the scene, Zainab shared: “They wanted to shoot the pre-wedding sequel in our studio when Mehwish goes for wedding shopping. Later they borrowed the dress for the scene.”
There was a even a bit of argument over the price of the dress – while the designers insisted on quoting Rs 3 lakhs, Chottani refused, saying it was too low a price for the Rs 795,000 (7 lakhs 95 thousand). The two then agreed to mention Rs 6 and a half lakhs.
Meray Paas Tum Ho has been directed by Nadeem Baig and written by Khalil ur Rahman Qamar. The drama also starrers Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui and Hira Mani.
From Maya Ali to Humayun Saeed to Zara Noor Abbas – Pakistani celebrities are partying it up in Oslo, Amsterdam and London giving us major FOMO. Thankfully the mercury has dropped drastically in Pakistan as well, so we don’t feel too left out.
In case you missed it, a number of celebrities including Humayun Saeed, Maya Ali, Adnan Siddiqui, Ahmed Ali Butt, Hira Mani, Aima Baig and Asad Siddiqui went to Oslo, Norway for the IPPA Awards. After Oslo, half the party moved to London, while others went to Amsterdam.

Ahmed Ali Butt is quite the funnyman and he has proven that on several occasions.
Whether it is on camera, or in his interviews (check out his exclusive interview with The Current here), or in his Instagram captions, he sure knows how to tickle your funnybones.
Recently, Ahmed has been playing with Meray Paas Tum Ho‘s dialogues and it’s characters and results are very comic. See below:

What is Hamza Ali Abbasi really upto? The actor toldthe world that he is quitting the entertainment industry to follow his spiritual journey, but his friends are saying that he will soon directing a film.
In a recent interview, Hamza’s close friend and colleague, Humayun Saeed revealed that the former actor will be donning the director’s hat and will be directing a patriotic film.
“Hamza was thinking about becoming a scholar for a quite some time and had started studying to be one,” Humayun said, adding, “Actually he has decided to leave showbiz for a certain period of time. In future, he would do characters that are more towards patriotism and spirituality.”
“Besides, he is coming into direction. I have planned a film on the subject of nationalism which will be directed by Hamza. Everything is almost done except deciding the name of project,” he shared further.
In November 2019, Hamza had announced that he will be quitting acting to focus on religion, his relationship with Allah and to spread the message of Islam.
“I had this divine revelation some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die. All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the day of judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the day of Judgment.”
At the same time, Hamza had said that though he will be quitting acting, he will continue to make videos and use his voice and popularity to spread the message of Islam and inspire others to undertake this spiritual journey.
“My perspective of life has changed since I realised that I have to meet my God. With this realisation, what I decided to do is that I now wish to talk to people. I wish to spread the message.”
Hamza had asserted that making movies is not haraam, adding that he might even consider making movies that are not vulgar and propagate the message of peace and patriotism.
And looks like the actor is doing just that.
Meanwhile, when Hamza had announced his decision, Humayun had sent best wishes his way.
Wishing Hamza Ali Abbasi all the best for the new journey he has decided to embark on. May Allah give you the strength to stay steadfast and may He give you success in all your endeavours @iamhamzaabbasipic.twitter.com/khRyOzQsII
The moment we were all waiting for. There were rumours that Kubra Khan was going to play Shehwar’s (Adnan Siddiqui) wife who he has a terrible marriage with, but the episode ends with the entry of Maham, Shehwar’s domineering wife played perfectly by Savera Nadeem. Maham, a towering figure enters the episode and slaps Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) as she introduces herself to her about-to-become sautan.
Maham’s entry has Anushay hiding in the corner
The episode does have some difficult to understand situations. How did Shehwar suddenly decide to marry Mehwish after he had so adamantly said that marriage ruined love? There’s no explanation about his change of heart. And why is Roomi, Danish’s son, so fixated on getting his father married to Hania (Hira Mani)? The obsession stems from the fact that Danish obviously doesn’t want to get married and he will marry Hania because his son wants him to. Otherwise he wouldn’t be the true lover of love that he has been projected to be so far.
Roomi trying for the hundredth time to get Hania to get his father to marry ‘another girl’. How she doesn’t know yet, that the girl is her, is very strange
There’s also the concept of fake and real friends that plays into this episode. Danish is lucky to have a friend who is helping him with his work, staff that is helping him with his life. His life has literally changed in days and as he says to his friend, “log jubh aapse subh kuch cheen layte hain tou khush hojao, kyuinke Khuda tumhe sub kuch deyne wala hai,” (when people take everything from you, be happy. Because God is about to give you everything) and it seems like Danish is about to get everything.
Danish and Roomi are happy with each other and getting loads of money
But Mehwish is made of some strong stuff too. She doesn’t look or feel embarrassed when her friend Anoushey asks her about leaving her husband and child to have an affair with a married man. She takes it in stride and doesn’t pay any attention to the rumours (that are bound to be true) about Shehwar having forged his wife’s signatures and living in a house in her name.
Mehwish doesn’t care at all about what people think of her
Maham will take over the next episode and it’s going to be a brilliant one. With the already strong presence that Savera Nadeem exudes, she is the perfect person to play a woman who is not to be messed with. The only character that is still very weak is that of Hania. Hira Mani is playing the role like a dheemibeychari and compared to the other strong female characters, she’s coming across as not having a clue. Here’s to hoping that the writer didn’t have a beychari in mind for Danish and Hania develops into a character strong enough to take on the memory of Mehwish.
Humayun is currently trending as the number one star in Pakistan after his latest drama Meray Paas Tum Ho set new records in Pakistani television history.
Episode 16 isn’t coming slow and the teaser for Episode 17 has a lot more to promise.
Danish (Humayun Saeed) after his hero act of beating up and threatening villian Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) has found a new love for being rash. The episode starts off with Danish hanging out with his son Rumi and it’s really hearwarming to see how their father son realtionship is blooming. It seems like their relationship has changed for the better since Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) left.
Father son love
Wedding is in the air for Danish as well as his son Rumi announces that Hania (Hira Mani) is the best girl for Danish and works on getting the both together till the end of the episode. What this loosely suggests is that Hania and Danish will most likely get married because it is the cute thing to do.
Hania and Danish might get together while Mehwish’s plans keep getting delayed
Shehwar on the other hand is pissed off at Danish and feels kinf if onsulted at being beat up so badly. He tells Mehwish to go sort out her son’s issues herself and meanwhile finds out that his company is getting bankrupt and its shares have badly fallen.
Rash Danish finds out that Shehwar’s company is in a temporary crisis and decides to invest all the lakhs he made for selling his house to buying shares in Shehwar’s company (which obviously means that he will take over Shehwar’s company one day). He also gets a really nice looking place on rent and decides to live a little.

The fast paced episode is the perfect lead in to the teaser for Episode 17. Mehwish and Shehwar are getting married, it seems, and there’s a knock on Mehwish’s room door and we are willing to bet it’s Shehwar’s wife. Now thats what we are all waiting for.
YES. Seems like its finally time to see Danish (Humayun Saeed) stand up for himself and fans of the drama are loving it. Episode 15 promises that the future of the drama isn’t going to be with weak and sad little Danish but someone who is ready to be strong, for the sake of his son.
Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) is adamant to take her son with her and Shehwar will go to any lengths (for now) to make her happy. Shehwar calls Danish and tells him to make sure that Mehwish meets her son in three days or else.
Shehwar doesn’t know what’s coming when he tells Danish to get Rumi to meet his mother
Danish, scared that Shehwar and Mehwish will take his son away because they are rich and powerful, tries to convince his son Rumi to meet his mother.
Rumi looking at his dad as Danish tries to convince him to meet his mother
Rumi looks at his father and says, “you are not my strength, you are my weakness,” which could mean two things: he will do anything for his father or he believes that his father is not strong enough to take a stand against his mother and her lover. Danish believes its the latter and finally gets the courage to stand up to Shehwar.
The slap we have all been waiting for
He barges into Shehwar’s office and grabs him by the collar, threatening him against physical harm if he ever comes near his son or tries to take his son away. Shehwar’s employees watch the whole thing and one thing is obvious – money cannot buy courage.
Finally, finally, we see Danish as the hero. A man who didn’t stand up for his wife (not that what she did was worth standing up for) but as a father, he realizes that his strength is his child and he won’t let anyone take that away.
He speaks to Rumi on the phone before he goes to warn Shehwar and tells him that Rumi doesn’t need to meet his mother if he doesn’t want to and that he, Danish, really is his son’s strength.
Shehwar realizing the game has changed when Danish throws his rich and powerful behind on the table
The strength isn’t about physical strength at all but it is about standing up against being bullied and bullies is exactly what Mehwish and Shehwar are. Danish has sold his apartment as well and is about to start his business and with his newfound strength, he is bound to be successful. What is so riveting about this drama is that it is no longer going to be about the love of a woman but the love of family and children. And one has to give it to Rumi (Shees Sajjad Gul) for his fantastic acting in this episode. The way he cries, silently, in his bed, while the scenes change between a deliriously happy mother and her lover and a lost father, reflects brilliant acting. We actually feel for him.
Fantastic acting by Rumi
Mehwish tells Shehwar in one of the scenes that Danish will give into anything because he is a coward. After last night’s episode one thing is for sure. He’s not going to give up on his son – come what may.
