    ‘Great debut’: Aseefa impresses Farhan Saeed, Momina Mustehsan

    Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari’s maiden address at the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) jalsa in Multan, which was seen as the formal entry into politics by the daughter of the late former PM Benazir Bhutto and ex-president Asif Ali Zardari, has left people impressed. While followers of the party have made that clear on social media, others have also admired the budding politician.

    Among those who lauded Aseefa are singers Farhan Saeed and Momina Mustehsan.

    “Great Debut,” said Farhan, while sharing a picture of Aseefa on social media. “Any day a better choice to lead PPP.”

    Similarly, Momina welcomed Aseefa into the political arena and hailed it as a big win for women in Pakistan.

    “The hearts and spirits of many young women all over Pakistan must have been reignited seeing more females step into leadership positions in a male-dominated political arena,” said Momina. “Here’s welcoming Aseefa. More power to you!”

    Earlier, Ali Tareen, who is the son of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s close aide and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) bigwig Jahangir Tareen, was offered to join the PPP in response to a tweet calling Aseefa “pretty cool”.

    Aseefa was filling in for her coronavirus positive brother PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari at the PDM jalsa in Multan. Many said she reminded them of her mother Benazir.

    At the jalsa, Aseefa delivered a short and brisk speech. She vowed to stand by her brother “every step of the way”.

    She began her speech by heaping scorn on the “selected” government. “Despite the cruelty and oppression by the selected [government], so many of you have gathered here. This selected [government] will have to go!”

    Speaking about her mother, she said Benazir had carried on her father’s mission — to establish a welfare state — and faced several setbacks.

    “[Former] president Asif Zardari introduced the 18th Amendment and BISP [Benazir Income Support Programme] and fought for the people’s rights,” she said and promised supporters that she would continue their mission and would not back down.

    “They think that we are afraid of arrests. If they arrest our brothers, then they should know that every woman of PPP is ready to take up the struggle,” she said.

    Meanwhile, Ahmed Ali Butt said that Aseefa’s entry “looks like Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 1”.

  • Bilal Saeed, Momina Mustehsan’s ‘Baari 2’ will tug at your heartstrings

    Bilal Saeed, Momina Mustehsan’s ‘Baari 2’ will tug at your heartstrings

    Bilal Saeed and Momina Mustehsan’s sequel to their superhit song Baari premiered on Sunday.

    The song titled Uchiyaan Deewaran (also known as Baari 2) has been written, composed and directed by Bilal. Rahim Pardesi and Hamid Ali Naqeebi have a special appearance in the song.

    “Baari was a narration of the feelings of plenty of us – the heartbroken and the hopeful. We all found a little bit of a reflection of our own stories in it,” reads the song’s official description. “It’s been a year and our stories have evolved. So let’s find out if our stories still match with theirs.”

    “When you are really in love, you become vulnerable and insecurities come out of nowhere. Don’t ever let those insecurities ruin your relationship no matter what you see,” said Bilal, while talking about the song.

    Uchiyaan Deewaran opens with Pardesi introducing his bride-to-be to Bilal. When Bilal asks for his mithai and Rahim goes down to his car to bring the sweets, Bilal and Rahim’s fiancé start talking. In the meantime, Momina comes to her rooftop and sees the two engrossed in conversation. She jumps to the conclusion that Bilal is interested in the other girl.

    This breaks her heart and through the song, Momina expresses her grief of being betrayed once again and shares why she is afraid of opening up her heart.

    The song then follows the two as they remain estranged from one another due to misunderstandings. However, they soon realise the truth and admit their feelings to one another ending the song on a happy note.

    Uchiyaan Dewaraan is a soft and melodious tune which is bound to strike a chord in your heart. Shot in the heart of old Lahore, the music video of the song is also very aesthetically pleasing and romantic. Listen to the song here:

    The song is loved and shared by the fans on all platforms of social media. Here are some reactions of people on twitter:

  • Momina Mustehsan, Muneeb Butt hit out at Kangana Ranaut for promoting ‘anti-Pakistan’ sentiments

    Momina Mustehsan and Muneeb Butt lashed out at Kangana Ranaut for “dragging” Pakistan into all her arguments.

    “Why does Pakistan get dragged into all your arguments?” questioned Momina. “It serves no purpose but takes away from your mission to rightly get justice for SSR (Sushant Singh Rajput), fight nepotism, your own internal state politics and curb religious hatred and prejudice.”

    “Justice can’t be achieved by propagating regional hatred,” she added.

    Butt voiced a similar opinion, saying: “Why are they so obsessed with Pakistan?”

    Ranaut, who has been actively campaigning against the Bhatts including Alia and Mahesh and accusing them of driving Sushant Singh Rajput to suicide, in a recent tweet passed an anti-Pakistan statement in order to make her point against them. Kangana was objecting to Alia’s dialogue in her upcoming film Sadak 2 which is: “In guruo ki wajah se mainay kisi apne ko khoya hai.”

    Labelling someone as a “Pakistani tout” is nothing new and Indians often use this label to bring down someone whose point of view they don’t agree with.

    Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film Sadak 2 has been mired in controversy ever since the trailer dropped. The trailer has become the ‘most disliked’ trailer on YouTube and the makers of the film have been accused of stealing a song from Pakistani artist Shezan Saleem a.k.a JO-G.

  • Celebrities who refused to endorse skin-lightening products

    Celebrities who refused to endorse skin-lightening products

    The murder of a black man George Floyd, allegedly by a police officer, in Minneapolis has sparked protests and outrage all over the world. While in the United States, people are taking to the streets to protest, in other parts of the world people are expressing their anger on social media. Celebrities and prominent personalities across the world are also raising their voice on the matter.

    The incident has also started a debate on the obsession with fair skin, especially in South Asia and the use of skin lightening products. Celebrities who have endorsed fairness products – like Sajal Aly, Mawra Hocane, Priyanka Chopra, Disha Patani – are being called out for doing so.

    Following the debate, journalist Haroon Rashid asked his followers to name “Pakistani/Bollywood celebrities who have never endorsed a skin lightening product.” Several Pakistani female actors, including Mahira Khan, Hareem Farooq, Sanam Saeed, Ayesha Omar and Momina Mustehsan responded to Rashid’s tweet and said that they had never endorsed skin lightening products, despite multiple offers.

    Long before this debate, Yasir Hussain had publicly lauded his wife Iqra Aziz for rejecting an advertisement for a whitening cream. He said that even though a lot of money was being offered, Iqra stood her ground and rejected the offer.

    Later when Haroon asked if those, who have in the past endorsed such products and later apologised for doing so, should be used as examples in a bad light, Mahira said they shouldn’t be.

    “We are quick to cancel, not to converse,” said Mahira.

  • The weekend of fashion fails

    The weekend of fashion fails

    While the rest of us were glued to our TV screens to catch the last episode of Meray Paas Tum Ho, our celebrities were attending the Hum Style Awards in Karachi. The same weekend the Grammys took place in Los Angeles which means that there were a lot of red carpet looks to debate over. However, there was little to no ‘fashion inspo’ considering that our stars did not exactly put forward their best fashion fronts.

    Here is the fashion rundown from the past weekend.

    Nay – Momina Mustehsan

    Red seems to be Momina’s favourite colour. Either her hair is red or her outfit is – and in this case the amount of red in this outfit is a bit too much. Plus her hairstyle is just too basic and her makeup typical. Considering it was the Hum Style Awards, the singer could have experimented with her look.

    Yay – Ayesha Omar

    Ayesha Omar is the ultimate style icon and here’s proof in case you needed it. Ayesha looks absolutely glam in this outfit by Elan.

    Nay – Mansha Pasha

    From the stockings to that embroidery to that boring hairstyle, Mansha’s look failed to hit the mark.

    Yay – Mahnoor Baloch

    Mahnoor Baloch can make anything look good.

    Nay – Ghana Ali

    First of all, what is that design? And secondly, what is that fitting?

    Also can we take a moment to discuss how bad the background wall. Totally takes the attention away from the person.

    Nay – Rubya Chaudhry

    No words.

    Yay – Reema

    The evergreen Reema can give the younger lot a run for their money with her sophistication.

    Nay – Sana Fakhar

    The hair, the makeup, the dress, the yello Chanel clutch – so many things wrong with this look.

    Now that we’re done dissecting the Hum Style Awards celebrity looks, onto the Grammys now.

    Priyanka Chopra

    Priyanka has been trolled enough for that look, so we’re not going to say more.

    Cardi B

    Uhm, from that purple eyeshadow to the hairstyle, what was Cardi B was thinking?

    Camila Cabello

    This outfit is a mess and not a hot one.

  • Momina Mustehsan, Bilal Saeed’s ‘Baari’ crosses 1.5 million views

    Momina Mustehsan, Bilal Saeed’s ‘Baari’ crosses 1.5 million views

    Momina Mustehsan’s duet with Bilal Saeed Baari has crossed 1.5 million views on Youtube in less than 36 hours.

    The soft, melodious song has been set in the heart of Lahore in Yousaf Sallauddin’s Haveli, while the iconic Badshahi Masjid can be seen in the background.

    Bilal plays a young man visiting the city from abroad. He waits with Rahim Pardesi (who has a special appearance in the song) to catch a glimpse of Momina as she passes by on her way to college with her friends.

    According to the singers, the song encapsulates young love and the happiness it brings in life.

    “Love is the beginning of everything in life; it leads to unimaginable happiness. This winters, feel the warmth of love with Baari,” reads the caption.

    Also would like to add here that we absolutely love the wardrobe which has been done by Mohsin Naveed Ranjha – it perfectly complements the background and setting of the song.

    Baari has been written and composed by Bilal who has also produced the music video.
