    Sami Khan’s crazy moment with female fan surprises wife

    Fans can sometimes surprise their favorite celebrities in the most unexpected ways, creating unforgettable and often hilarious moments.

    Recently actor Sami Khan appeared as guest on Mazaq Raat hosted by Imran Ashraf, where he talked about his craziest fan moment.

    The cohost, Ayesha Shakoor, asked, “I’m sure you receive lines from fans because of how handsome you are. What was the craziest fan encounter you’ve ever had in your life?”

    “It was a very crazy experience in Lahore. Everyone remembers that day in 2012 or 2013,” Khan remembered, recalling that it rained heavily, “so much that people said it looked like it was snowing.”

    “One day, I was walking when suddenly I heard the noise of cars honking, a long line of vehicles. Out of nowhere, I heard a voice. It was a girl’s voice. She called out to me, and I said, ‘Thank you’.

    “Suddenly, she got out of her car, ran towards me, and said, ‘I’m a huge fan, I’m a huge fan.’ I thanked her, but before I could say anything else, she hugged me. As soon as she hugged me, a close-up shot revealed that my wife was walking towards us,” he described.

    “As she walked towards us, I was wondering what I was going to say, of course. The first thing that came was an interrogative question, ‘What was that?’ I said, ‘She was a fan.’ ‘If she was a fan, why did she hug you?’ she asked.

    “I explained it all happened so quickly. I didn’t have time to respond before she hugged me. She said to me, ‘If she had said something else, you have probably done that too’. But I reassured her that wasn’t the case, after which she just said, ‘Make sure this doesn’t happen again”, Sami added.

    Sami Khan starred in dramas such as Dil se Dil Tak, Yaad Piya Ki Aye, Ghar Ki Khatir, and Pagal Khana. Currently, he is starring in DunyiPur, which is written by Radain Shah and directed by Shahid Shafaat.

    Sami Khan and Shanzay Khan tied the knot in 2009.

  • ‘I don’t beg for work’: Fahad Sheikh

    ‘I don’t beg for work’: Fahad Sheikh

    Rejection in the entertainment industry is a harsh reality and actor Fahad Sheikh has faced it too. Even though he’s gained success and praise, he’s faced setbacks along the way.

    Recently Fahad appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat’, hosted by Imran Ashraf, where he talked about the most challenging moments of his career.

    “One of the bitter mosy rejections I’ve faced is when, after Jalan drama, the phone calls finally started coming in. Production houses were suddenly reaching out, but there was still a sense of formality. My principle has always been that I don’t beg for work, and I hadn’t until now,” the actor began.

    He went on to narrate a story. “So, I went for a meeting, dressed in a full black kurta, wearing Peshawari Chappal, with glasses on. I walked in, and there was the director, seated in a small room. I didn’t know him at all. He looked at me, but didn’t care much. He looked towards the GM, and I could sense the dismissive attitude.”

    “Now, I’m standing at the door, thinking about what I should do next. It was an awkward moment; both of us felt embarrassed. And the gentleman who had brought me there was relaxed, probably because he already knew I was being rejected before we even got there. Then they offered me coffee, and I politely refused. We wrapped up the meeting quickly, made our way out, and left the place with disappointment. You know, every new city breaks you a little, but if it didn’t, perhaps the refinement in my work wouldn’t have come,” the Hasrat actor added.
    Fahad Sheikh has starred in dramas such as Uff Ye Mohabbat, Waada, Hasrat, and Bojh.

  • Five Pakistani dramas that left viewers disappointed with their endings

    Five Pakistani dramas that left viewers disappointed with their endings

    Pakistani dramas have a huge fanbase at home and abroad, but lately, there’s been debate about the scripts. TV dramas still attract massive viewership, however, the endings can make or break the whole experience. Unfortunately, many recent dramas have left viewers disappointed with their conclusions, tarnishing their otherwise strong narratives.

    Here are some popular Pakistani dramas that aired recently but disappointed viewers with unsatisfying endings.

    Ishq Murshid

    ‘Ishq Murshid,’ a hugely successful drama, faced a similar fate with its ending. The storyline, centered around Shibra and Shahmeer, started off promising but ended in confusion. The rushed wedding and the addition of another cultural ceremony felt unnecessary. Shahmeer’s character, portrayed as a killer in the end, lacked development and failed to contribute positively. Meanwhile, Shibra’s naivety, despite knowing she was marrying a politician, seemed unrealistic. The drama, which initially had a strong plot, concluded poorly, leaving viewers puzzled. Despite this, the makers profited from cinema screenings.

    Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha

    ‘Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha’ starred Wahaj Ali from ‘Tere Bin’ and Hania Aamir from ‘Mere Humsafar.’ It aimed to be a love story featuring Kaifi Khalil’s famous song, ‘Kahani Suno.’ However, despite high hopes, the chemistry between the leads never clicked with the audience. The drama ended suddenly, with Hania accepting Wahaj’s love, while Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz found himself in another controversy caused by his cousin, leaving viewers puzzled.

    Namak Haaram

    The drama promised us a thrilling murder mystery and a tale of revenge, starring the popular duo Imran Ashraf and Sarah Khan. However, what unfolded was disappointing. By the fifth or sixth episode, the plot became predictable, with unnecessary characters hogging too much screen time. In the end, the hero was killed without achieving anything significant. The heroine, on the other hand, fell into a deep depression, living a life in servant quarters and raising her child alone. It was a letdown for the audience, wasting their time and energy.

    Mein

    ‘Mein’ was a highly anticipated drama, boasting a big budget and starring Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali. However, the outcome was disappointing. Despite having Ayeza and Wahaj as leads, the focus shifted to Asif Uncle’s character, overshadowing the hero. The ending was unsatisfactory, with no character finding happiness. Wahaj Ali’s character was portrayed as foolish and lacking control over life’s circumstances. It was a letdown for viewers who expected more from the drama.

    Tere Bin

    ‘Tere Bin’ was a huge hit among Pakistani dramas, thanks to the amazing chemistry between Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali. However, the ending left much to be desired. The original story involved Meerab experiencing marital rape and leaving her husband, Murtasim, eventually giving birth to their daughter. However, due to public pressure, the makers changed this plot. Unfortunately, this decision left the story feeling disjointed, with Meerab’s actions seeming illogical. Despite its success, many viewers were unhappy with how the drama ended, feeling that the sensitive issue of marital rape was mishandled.

    Actor Ali Abbas is well-known for his strong work ethic and professionalism. During an appearance on ‘Mazaq Raat’, his colleague and host Imran Ashraf revealed that Ali seems to attract a lot of female attention, and almost everyone he meets develops feelings for him. Imran was curious to understand why Ali always comes across as the good guy.

    Ali said, “I have always respected women and I am very chivalrous around them, which warms everyone up around me. I am also very intense in romantic acting, but I make my co-stars comfortable. All these factors combined have endeared me to everyone.”
    Ali further shared, “I also have one-sided love, and that is for Mahira Khan. I have always admired the superstar since her days as a VJ, and that fan love will always remain.”

    This is what he said:
