    Celebrities come together for a short film on coronavirus

    A host of Pakistan’s much-loved celebrities have come together for a short film titled Call To Action to raise awareness on the coronavirus pandemic.

    Among those who feature in the film includes Hamza Ali Abbasi, Humayun Saeed, Reema, Shehzad Roy, Ali Rehman Khan, Zara Noor Abbas, Maya Ali, Anwar Maqsood, Bilal Maqsood, Sheheryar Munawar, Wasim Akram, Shaniera Akram, Ayesha Omar, Iqra Aziz, Yasir Hussain and Mikaal Zulfiqar. The film follows them as they talk to each other on the phones. While the conversation appears to be like one anyone would be having with their friend or family on the phone, each dialogue has a message behind it.

    For example, Shehzad Roy talks about how important it is to keep washing our hands, while Iqra says, “Fasla rakhain, kaheen corona na ho jaye.” Ayesha Omar expresses her annoyance at unverified Whatsapp forwards. The dialogues are fun, short and witty.

    The film has been written and directed by Faisal Qureshi.

  • Who are Sheheryar Munawar’s ‘most special people’?

    Who are Sheheryar Munawar’s ‘most special people’?

    With everything and everyone in lockdown and quarantine, we often find ourselves scrolling through our phone galleries and reminiscing about the happy moments we spent with our loved ones.

    Sheheryar Munawar, who in his previous post made it clear that he was done with the coronavirus, in his latest post shared pictures of himself with his most special people. Among those people is director Asim Raza, Mahira Khan, Adeel Hussain, his Parey Hut Love co-stars Maya Ali, Zara Noor Abbas, Ahmed Ali Butt and Shahbaz Shigri and makeup artist Adnan Ansari.

    “In these times of the lockdown, emotional highs and lows have become part of everyday life. Whenever I’m feeling a little low, going through old pictures always puts a smile on my face,” wrote the actor.

    “I’ve always heard people say ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’, but since I’ve been missing human interaction like the deserts miss the rain (yes, being a little dramatic for effect here) I’ve discovered that ‘A picture is worth a thousand a thousand emotions a thousand memories’,” he wrote further before adding, “Sharing a few pictures of some special people. Some of whom where friends before they become colleagues and some colleagues who became friends…but all of them are now friends who are like family.”

    Check out his post and pictures below:

    Maya Ali shuts down troll for asking if she is ‘still married to Osman Khalid Butt’

    Maya Ali is no stranger to link-ups. Over the years, the actor has been linked to several of her co-stars. But among them all, her onscreen chemistry with Osman Khalid Butt had their fans swooning and the two began to be popularly known as Osmaya.

    While fans rooted for the two to get together in real-life, some people started speculating that the two have tied the knot after pictures of them in wedding attire were shared on social media. Turned out that the pictures were from a magazine cover shoot and not from their “marriage.”

    Nonetheless, every now and then, people raise questions pertaining to their relationship status. On a recent post by Maya, an Instagram user commented, “Is she still married with Osman Khalid Butt? Never seen them together.”

    To this, Maya replied, “Did I, my family or Osman or his family ever mention this thing anywhere? You have a right to ask a question but please don’t give any statements about anyone…Thank you.”

    The comment appears to have been removed.

    Osman and Maya made their debut in Aik Naeey Cinderella, following which they appeared in Aunn Zara. Their third drama together was the superhit Diyar-e-Dil. Their last drama together was Sanam which aired in 2016. Maya has often referred to Osman as her best friend and the two have walked the ramp and appeared on the red carpet together. However, they have never hinted at anything more than that.

    Meanwhile, Maya who has had a stellar year given the success of her second film Parey Hut Love, also reflected upon the past year and shared why it was so special for her.
