Rejoice ladies, Agha Ali understands us better than we do ourselves. The actor recently came up with the gem that women prioritize wealth and luxury over love and loyalty.
Aren’t we lucky that he understands us so thoroughly?
In a recent TV appearance, Agha Ali reflected on past mistakes, admitting to saying things in interviews that he shouldn’t have and leaving out important details.
“I’ve learned from my mistakes and am working on rebuilding myself after feeling broken,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to honesty in interviews, aiming to show his true self to the public.
And then he did, with the misogynistic comments about women.
Addressing rumors about his character, he clarified, “I’m not a playboy anymore.”
Speaking on modern relationships, Ali remarked that many women today prioritize financial security and a luxurious lifestyle over love and loyalty.
“Money can get you anything in this world, even a partner,” he observed.
Ali’s advice to men was straightforward: “First, earn money, buy a house and a car, then think about love and relationships.”
On a serious note, while his advice to men about being financially secure is pertinent, the rest of his comments about women are quite problematic.
In a society dominated by men, it is not a bad thing for women to think about their financial future neither should they be shamed for doing so.
In Pakistani cinema, the relationship between Moammar Rana and Shaan Shahid has always interested fans. Recently, Moammar appeared as a guest on ‘Daisbook’, hosted by Junaid Saleem, and talked about his rivalry with Shaan.
The co-host asked, “Can you tell us why you don’t get along with Shaan and why you both avoid working together in films?”
Moammar Rana said, “I respect Shaan as my senior, but I think he’s the one who should explain our differences. We were both action heroes, just like Shatrugan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan. Shaan was the action king, always doing daring stunts, while I focused on acting. It’s like the difference between Shatrugan Sinha’s action-oriented approach and Amitabh Bachchan’s focus on acting.”
Both superstars have worked together in several films including ‘Guns and Roses’, ‘Ik Junoon’, and ‘Chupan Chupai.’ Moammar is known for romantic roles in numerous hit films like ‘Kuriyon Ko Daalay Daana,’ ‘Chooriyian,’ and ‘Jhoomar.’
Fawad Khan, the acclaimed Pakistani actor, is rarely involved in controversies but recently became the center of one following the recent announcement of his return to Bollywood after an eight-year hiatus.
Known for his roles in films like Khoobsurat and Kapoor & Sons, Khan’s decision to work alongside actress Vaani Kapoor has sparked heated discussions across social media platforms.
The news of Khan’s comeback, first reported yesterday, has drawn a barrage of reactions, with many expressing disappointment and frustration. Critics on Twitter and other forums have voiced concerns over Khan’s choice to resume his Bollywood career, citing ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan as a backdrop to their discontent. While many Indians are thrilled about his return, Pakistanis have been more critical, leading to mixed reactions overall.
Writer Sadaf Haider shared her thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) about Fawad Khan’s Bollywood comeback. She wrote:
“Fawad Khan: I love him, I hate him, I love him, I hate him. He has everything except Humayun’s confidence. But Fawad, I always fail at hating you. Okay, go ahead and work with a C-grader. We’ll endure it – we have no choice.”

The federal government has rejected the Punjab government’s request to suspend social media platforms for six days during Muharram ul Haram, Geo News reported today.
The Interior Ministry believes that security would be foolproof during the holy month, so there would be no need to shut down social media platforms across the province.
“Security should be made more active and effective,” said the Interior Ministry, adding that mobile signals will be blocked in areas where processions and majlis will be held.
The Punjab government, in a matter of urgent security, has requested to suspend access to all social media platforms for a week during Muharram ul Haram, as reported by Geo News today.
The federal government will decide on the province’s request: “Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi will present the issue before Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today.”
Shia Muslims hold processions across the globe, including in Pakistan, with thousands of policemen deployed to ensure security during the month.
Geo News also reported that Mohsin Naqvi is not in favour of suspending social media; the decision will be made after a meeting with the Prime Minister.
The Punjab Home Department sent a request to the Ministry of Interior to suspend all social media platforms from Muharram 6 to 11, aiming to avoid sectarian violence in the country.
