In a recent interview, when the minister was asked if compromising in marriage was easier or when in government with “razor-thin” majority, Asad said, “There is a actually strong analogous behaviour in both.”
“Just like in a marriage, if you’ve married the person for who he or she is and what they stand for, then you’ll go through the highs and lows, the ups and downs, the difficulties which will come – you’ll make compromises because you’re clear of why you are with that particular person in this big wide universe and not with somebody else.”
He continued, “The same is true with being in government. If you have clarity, if you have conviction of what you want, what you stand for, what you want to achieve, then you know where you want to compromise and where compromise is actually taking you away from what you stand for and why you’re in that government. It also helps you give clarity of when you should stay to continue to be in government and when you should say there are options which are better.”

Ouch. Danish is still hurting but he’s definitely not going to take Mehwish back. That phone call between the two makes it evidently clear. Or does it?
The episode starts with Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) trying to get her friends to help her out but they are initially averse to the idea of doing so because she has committed the ultimate sin – betraying their friend. She goes to meet Hania (Hira Mani) trying to get help from her, and also trying to figure out what Hania’s relationship is with Danish (Humayun Saeed) and Mehwish’s son Rumi. It is obvious that Mehwish’s main goal is now to get back with Danish and she tries her best to talk to the people who know him to find out where his head is at, before she calls him herself.
Hania also feels for Mehwish as Mehwish tells her about what’s happened
The phone call is painful. Humayun Saeed is such a perfect actor that you can actually feel the pain in his voice as he tells his ex-wife how much he used to miss her. And how they can never get back together.
Danish, stone-faced as he listens to Mehwish on the phone
But the phone call that makes everyone’s heart tug is the one between Mehwish and her son Rumi. He couldn’t sleep without her and one feels so strongly for the child, and also despises Mehwish in that moment; not for following what she wanted and leaving Danish, but for not considering her child’s feelings as well. She tries to make amends with him and as any child, Rumi also cannot help but become warm with Mehwish – she is after all his mother. But when he tells her how his father used to miss her by calling her name, forgetting she wasn’t there, in that moment, you cannot help but feel that Mehwish never deserves redemption. As she cries, you become conflicted. People make mistakes.
Rumi tells his mother how his father reacted after she left him
But as Danish explains to his son later, it wasn’t a mistake. It was a sin. And therefore, cannot be redeemed. He does tell his friend that he’s forgiven her, “Kehdo uska maaf kar dia,” Danish tells his friend, “Khuda ki qasm maaf kar dia,” but as he talks to Rumi he is a little more honest, saying, “jis din mai usko bhool jaonga tou mil jaye gi usko maafi”
Rumi and Danish share a heartfelt conversation, showing they’re a team
It’s an emotional episode because you see Danish struggle. He still loves her and it’s quite possible he always will. And he knows that just one word, and he can have her back. Possibly, more in love with him than he was with her. Her life has turned upside down. She’s gotten a job and is living in a women’s hostel. Right now, Danish has everything that she wants. She just doesn’t have Danish.
Mehwish, trying to atone for her sins, goes to a mazar
Do you feel for her? Yes, you do and Ayeza Khan does an absolutely fantastic job as the arrogant woman who thwarts love and then realizes the incredibly huge mistake she’s made. The acting is what does it. There’s no way you cannot feel, even a little, for her. Her fall from ‘greatness’ is that big. And you wonder that if the tables had turned and this was a husband who had cheated, the wife would most likely take him back.There are many Pakistani dramas that already have that ‘happy ending’. So when she goes to a mazar, remembers her husband who was good and loving, she tries to atone for her sins. And maybe, she can have it. Everyone sins, everyone makes mistakes. Just because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean she doesn’t get a second chance.
Hania’s expression when Danish says he wants to marry her
But according to the teaser for the next episode, it does. Danish is seen asking Hania to marry him, or rather asking someone else in front of Hania, if Hania will marry him. Mehwish ends up in the hospital and he rushes to find out what’s happened. Love is unfortunately love. It doesn’t die, even if you’re side-lined, betrayed or even when you come back.
After the proposal of the year, Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain are all set to have the wedding of the year.
According to the very fun and quirky wedding card shared by the couple on their respective social media handles, the two will be tying the knot on December 28 in an afternoon wedding. The official wedding hashtag is #IqYasirDaViyah.
Though we have no information about who is going to be on the guest list, but we’re assuming there are going to be A LOT of people from the industry.
Iqra and Yasir have been very public about their affection for one another and have almost always been spotted together. The two will also be appearing in two projects together: drama serial Jhooti and a feature film expected to release on Eid-ul-Fitr 2020.
Uh-ho, tardy men beware. An Indian bride replaced her groom when the man she was supposed to marry turned up late to his own wedding.
According to a report in the Times of India, a bride from Bijnor’s Nangaljat village married a man from her neighbourhood after her groom and the baraatis arrived late for the wedding. Not only that, the groom’s family was locked up and allegedly thrashed by the bride’s family, who also stole their valuables.
The police revealed that this was supposed to be the couple’s “proper” wedding ceremony – they had tied the knot in a mass wedding programme six weeks earlier. At that time, the bride had not gone to her in-laws’ house because the couple wanted to get married again with “proper rituals”.
The drama doesn’t stop there – the two families reportedly also had their differences over the dowry as well. The bride’s family claimed the groom and his father had demanded a bike and cash and threatened the family if their demands weren’t met.
Nonetheless, the groom’s side was supposed to arrive at 2pm on the day of the wedding but turned up late at night instead. As a result, the bride’s family got annoyed and thrashed the groom’s family. The police had to intervene to have the groom’s side released.
The groom’s family also said they were taken captive, thrashed and the jewellery they had brought for the bride was stolen.
After the police intervened, the matter was settled and the bride married another man the next day.
If you’re in a relationship or planning to get married – be careful about these things:
1. Pressure from friends and family
First things first. You should not marry because your amma (mother) forced you to tie the knot with your khala ka larka ya larki (daughter or son of your mother’s sister). It’s your life and only you will be dealing with your matters. Your parents will not come to rescue if you lack compatibility with your partner. So, think logically before getting into any sort of a relationship.
2. If you’re lonely or depressed
If you think that marriage is a cure for your loneliness or depression – you’re mistaken. Yes, having a great life partner does contribute positivity in life, but getting married solely to solve the above-stated issues will be a disaster. There can be multiple reasons for depression – it can be because of medical or hormonal changes in your body. In that case, it is best to consult a mental health specialist instead of getting married.
3. Love will solve everything
This only happens in Pakistani dramas and Bollywood films. Because, in reality, love will not solve everything. In fact, it will add problems in your life if you’re not good at solving your problems. A good relationship demands great problem-solving skills, right decision making, and above all, lots of commitment.
4. Unrealistic expectations
“Tumnay toh kaha tha ke shaadi ke baad (you promised that after marriage).”
Yes, It is a trap, nothing more than that. A person who cannot fulfill commitments before marriage will certainly be unable to keep promises after marriage.
5. Being unforgiving
“Mein tumhein sari zindagi maaf nae kar sakta/sakti (I cannot forgive you for the rest of my life).”
This attitude will only affect your life. There are chances that your contemporary partner will move on and may find someone more understanding. It is imperative to let things go and be more optimistic – only if your partner is putting effort.
There are innumerable relationship advices on the internet. However, the ability to learn and adjust to the situation is invaluable.
Rumours are strong that Pakistan’s ‘it’ celebrity couple, Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly are tying the knot in March 2020 and that too in Turkey.
While there has been no official confirmation from the two, speculations are rife and fans are excited for the wedding.
Ahad and Sajal announced their engagement in early June, though people say that the two made it official months before they revealed the news to their fans. Hence, it is quite likely that the two will secretly get married before making an official announcement.
Meanwhile, the two are currently setting our screens on fire with their performances and chemistry in Ye Dil Mera which airs on Hum TV every Wednesday.
A Karachi-based matchmaker, who is popularly known as Mrs Khan, on live television said that rising divorces are due to women’s inability to bow down before their husbands and because they argue too much.
“We were told from the start that we should hold our tongue and keep it in control,” Mrs Khan said. “If a woman keeps her tongue in check, we wouldn’t have to face these problems. Such problems arise when women are unable to control themselves and try to dominate their husbands.”
She continued, “We were told that when the husband comes home, his shoes and clothes should be properly placed. There should be a roti on the tawa just ready to be served with the salan, which is supposed to have been prepared beforehand. But girls nowadays – they say that will not make rotis or do any work.”
“Phir shaadi kyun ki?” she asked angrily. “If you’re not capable of doing this, then don’t get married…Until and unless you’re not a proper woman then don’t get married. Marriage means responsibility.”
When the host interrupted Mrs Khan and said that girls say “Hum maasi ban kar thori kisi kay ghar ja rahe hain, hum toh biwi ban kar ja rahe hain,” Mrs Khan attacked her.
“Were they maids in their parent’s house? Or are they some minister or governor’s daughter? You’ll have to do it [house work] like your mother. Who would take care of you and your needs, give you food etc? Who would bring money to the house? The same rules apply in your own marriage.”
She then reiterated her earlier point that no matter strata of the society girls belong to they must always keep their mouths shut and never voice their opinions.
She then proceeded to say that the media has ruined women and encouraged them to “open their mouths” while the husband listens silently.
Needless to say, Mrs Khan’s comments sparked outrage among women who were disgusted by her misogynist and outdated comments.
Yeppp. Our culture is literally tailor made for abusive & demanding men, and women like Mrs Khan cash in on that by browbeating other women into accepting this heinous lifestyle.
What’s her feelings about abusive husbands ..nikamey husbands ..then husbands must not sleep on the mattress the girl brings in dowry .have some shame Mrs khan ..
I’m amused & I feel pity for Mrs Khan. This is the result of someone giving up their sense of self, and accepting being subjugated & submissive as an identity.
Happy to have a marriage which is totally opposite of what she’s describing
Fantastic response to “Mrs. Khan” from @HBhurgri. Mrs. Khan is the marriage bureau owner who berated married women who speak out and won’t be household drudges.
And men had a field day because they found a woman who agrees with their misogynist thoughts.
Ha Ha Ha working women are becomes evil nature just because of money that ignore every kindness Mrs Khan is absolutely right especially media women are the worst human no manners no murcy no love with one man because many stupid mian are teaching them evil ways
A woman in UAE has asked for divorce because her husband loves her a lot and is too obedient.
Most women would not want any other type of husband — one who cooks, cleans and does not argue at all! But a wife in the UAE has sought divorce for this very reason!
Apparently, she felt choked by his affection and wants to divorce him. She says her husband’s love was choking her.
“He never yelled at me or turned me down,” the woman told the court.
“I was choked by extreme love and affection. He even helped me clean the house.”
In their year-long marriage, the husband sometimes cooked for her and there were no disputes.
The wife complained that her life turned into “hell”. Why? Because the husband was so good to her.
“I long for one day of dispute, but this seems impossible with my romantic husband who always forgave me and showered me with gifts.
“I need a real discussion, even an argument, not this hassle-free life of obedience.”
The husband said he did nothing wrong. “I wish to be a perfect and kind husband,” he said.
The husband has asked the court to advise his wife to withdraw the case.
“It’s not fair to judge a marriage from the first year, and everybody learns from their mistakes.”
The court ordered the adjournment of the case to give the couple a chance at reconciliation.
