    Humaima Malick prays for the strength to ‘carry hijab’

    Humaima Malick has shared that she wishes she could ‘carry [the] hijab’ all her life.

    Sharing a picture of herself with Noor Bukhari, Malick praised the former actor for her guidance and penned down words of appreciation for her.

    “There are very few people in life who expect nothing from you but your own good,” Humaima captioned the picture. “Noor you are so noorani meri pyaari Noori. May Allah bless you always and forever.”

    She then thanked Noor for the scarf, saying a little prayer of motivation for herself and asking fans to do the same.

    “Thank you for this beautiful gift, I loved wearing this scarf. May Allah add me in His loved ones and give me [the] strength to carry hijab all my life,” said Malick.

    Earlier, Malick’s brother Feroze Khan also quit the entertainment industry to pursue his religious calling.

    Later, the actor said that he will not be quitting after his “Sheikh” Sultan Muhammad Ali ordered him not to quit.

    “He believes the industry is a source of spreading the message from one place to another,” said Feroze. “He also told me that I needed to be at this place. I have to do something out of this, I have to make something out of this. So I’m reading into a lot of scripts, looking into a lot of scripts — I may act, I may produce, but I’m here.”

  • Yasir Hussain vs Nausheen Shah: Who said what?

    Yasir Hussain vs Nausheen Shah: Who said what?

    Yasir Hussain should just add ‘controversy’ as his middle name given the number of controversies he is involved in. The actor is famous for his online banters and heated exchanges with followers and colleagues. This time, the actor has gotten into an online feud with Nausheen Shah after he claimed that she attended his wedding as an uninvited guest.

    While appearing on Vasay Chaudhry’s new talk show Ghabrana Mana Hai, when the host asked Hussain if anyone from the entertainment industry attended his and Iqra Aziz’s wedding uninvited, Yasir went on to name Nausheen Shah. A series of wisecracks followed after which Yasir tried to gloss over the matter by saying that he admired Nausheen’s sense of style. This made the situation even worse.

    As expected, the clip from the interview went viral on social media with people criticising Vasay and Yasir for their crass comments.

    Nausheen initially ignored the matter, opting to post two quotes on her Insta-story instead.

    “Weak people revenge. Strong people forget. Intelligent people ignore,” read one, while another said: “When you are building an empire you don’t pay attention to nonsense. I am too busy to get distracted.”

    Later, while speaking to a local media publication, Nausheen said that there was no truth to Hussain’s claims.

    “Would anyone go to someone’s house uninvited? I wouldn’t go to anyone’s house if I wasn’t invited, let alone someone’s wedding,” she said. “A fool is known by his speech and a wise man by his silence. Yasir called me himself and invited me. I feel so sorry for Yasir because certainly has serious memory issues. I also feel really sorry for Iqra. She is taking one for the team,” she snapped back.

    Later, responding to Nausheen’s comments and social media outrage, Yasir said that social media needs to get over the whole issue. In a series of Insta-stories, he defended his comments saying that he was telling the truth and if that made him wrong, then the TV channel airing the show was also wrong and the bloggers and Instagram pages pumping up the issue were also at fault.

    Poora system ghalat hai mai akela nahi (the whole system is wrong and not just me alone),” said Yasir, adding that if audiences wanted to watch shows following the Koffee with Karan format, they needed to be able to bear with the answers as well.

    “Enjoy the show and move on,” said Yasir. “Sarr per sawaar na ho jao.”

    The actor further went on to say that he once requested a blogger to publish a poem on rape victims that he read, asking them to also post good things about him, “Magar nahi. Negativity hee bikti hai, positive cheez post kar k likes lena mushkil hai toh enjoy karen sab.”

    Ghussa aur sawal kyon?” he questioned.

    In another story, Yasir stood by his stance and asserted that Nausheen did attend his wedding uninvited.

    “I shared the truth about senior actor Nausheen ‘that some people came forcefully’,” wrote Yasir.

    “If Miss Shah insists, then I can share the voice notes she sent after which I sent her the location of the wedding. She continued to annoy everyone at the event. She was desperate to come to my wedding just as she is being right now. After sharing to ignore things, she couldn’t even resist herself for 30 minutes,” continued the actor.

    “And Miss Shah please stop using my wife’s name for views. You feel sorry for her? Good… After your voice note, she also felt sorry for you,” he added.

    Meanwhile, speaking to another publication, Shah said: “I am just shocked. I am following a different path than this and I really don’t want to get involved in this sort of controversy. Yasir and the host chose to discuss all this and they can keep discussing it if they like. I was ignoring the whole matter but I am thankful for all the support that I have gotten from the media and from my fans commenting on social media.”

    “If I had known that going to Yasir and Iqra’s wedding was such a big problem, I wouldn’t have come. I don’t really want to get involved in this,” she repeated. “The only reason why I am saying all this is that you reached out to me.”

    While the industry till now has chosen to remain silent on the matter, Noor Bukhari commenting on a post said: “I have worked with Yasir and Nausheen Shah. We were in London and Yasir and Nausheen were good friends. And Nausheen is not somebody who will go anywhere without an invite. But this shouldn’t be dragged this much. He should have apologised politely.”

    Anoushey Ashraf, who had earlier gotten into a spat with Yasir on social media, also lashed out at the actor, saying: “People don’t remember what you said and what you did but they certainly remember how you made them feel.”

    ‘Bushra Bibi is more than a mother to me’, says Noor Bukhari

    Noor Bukhari has said that Bushra Bibi is more than a mother to her.

    Earlier in June 2018, Bukhari had shared a picture of herself and Bushra Bibi in Saudi Arabia, where the two had gone to perform pilgrimage. Bukhari had captioned the picture with the hashtag ‘My spiritual Teacher’.

    ‘Leave the judging to God’: Ahsan Mohsin Ikram responds to backlash

    Ahsan Mohsin Ikram, who has recently been criticised for his alleged relationship with Minal Khan and for posting loved-up pictures of the two, has reacted to the backlash by asking people to worry about “his/her own life instead of others”.

    “Oh you who believe! Let not some people among you laugh at others, perhaps they may be better than them,” said the actor in a story posted to his Instagram.

    He then went onto say: “Human beings tend to judge others. They describe differences and are quick look down and those who may be different from themselves. It is as though they think that they are so right and so special, that anyone who is not like them has something wrong with them. We may not admit this, even to ourselves judging others and mocking them, openly or covertly, that is probably the most behind our attitude.”

    Ahsan then said that to “respect the differences is to respect the God who made us all so unique”.

    “Each one of us is special the way we think, talk act or behave,” he asserted. “Diversity adds to the richness of the world.”

    “Islam teaches us not to condemn others. Leave the judging to God. Worry about, and judge, only yourself,” he added.

    He further explained his stance by quoting a Hadith.

    “According to Hadith, fortunate is that person who is so busy with his own faults, that he has no time to think about the faults of others. Even if you see something we don’t like in someone, you may be guilty of the same thing, but are less likely to see in yourself.”

    Concluding his comments, Ahsan said: “Also, there may be a lot good in the other person which you are not aware of. The fourth Imam (a) taught us to see every person we meet as better than ourselves.”

    Fans, followers and social media users have criticised the alleged couple for sharing pictures of themselves in which they can be seen hugging one another. Netizens believe that the actors are giving out wrong message thorough their actions.

    Former actor Noor Bukhari was among those who expressed her reservations over the alleged couple’s public display of affection.

    In a post featuring the two, Bukhari commented: “I really [like] both the sisters. But if they are married, then being close and posting these pictures is fine.”

    “But if not, they are misleading the youth by making it alright to post intimate pictures before marriage,” stated the actor, adding, “Or maybe they are nikaofied (married). Aur unke parents khush hain (And their parents are happy).”

    Though Ahsan has turned off the comments on his post, the picture of the purported duo has gone viral on social media with people leaving hateful comments.

    If the reports are correct, this will be Noor’s fifth marriage. The former film star, who bid goodbye to the entertainment industry two years ago, first tied the knot in 2008 to a businessman named Vikram. The two divorced two years later.

    The 37-year-old then married director-producer Farooq Mengal in 2010. However, that marriage also lasted less than a year and two parted ways.

    In 2012, Noor tied the knot with Awn Chaudhry. The couple have a daughter together though the marriage lasted only a few months.

    Noor then married Wali Hamid Khan in 2015 but that marriage also ended due to domestic disputes even though Khan had said that he found his soulmate in Noor. In September 2017, Noor took khula from Wali through the court.

    In late 2019, speculations were rife that the actor has gotten married for the fifth time but Noor shut down the rumours and asked people to stop believing in fake stories.
