    Though the coronavirus pandemic continues to unleash its wrath, summer’s almost here and we’re craving some excitement in life. And there’s no better way to welcome the summer than with a trip to the hairstylist to refresh our hair. Our favourite celebrities have been doing the same so take some inspiration from them for your summer look.

    Mawra Hocane

    Mawra decided to go for a completely new look which is making her feel “fresh as a daisy”. The actor kept her long locks but went for a heavy fringe, which is making her look super cute.

    Saboor Aly

    Saboor is rocking that bob with such finesse, that it makes us want to chop off all our hair and opt for a hairstyle just like hers. Have to say, it’ll be ideal for the summer.

    Mansha Pasha

    Mansha also chopped off her long locks opting for shoulder length hair and looking absolutely fabulous in them. This hairstyle is perfect for those who want a bit of change but don’t want to experiment too much.

    Neelam Muneer

    Aamna Ilyas

  • Adnan Siddiqui recalls memories with Strings with an unseen music video

    After entertaining us for more than three decades, Strings called off their partnership as a band on March 25, leaving fans heartbroken across the world.

    Among those upset with the news was Adnan Siddiqui. To express his sorrow over the development and to recall memories with them, Adnan shared an unseen music video from 1993, which featured him alongside Natasha. The video was directed by Bilal and shot in Gwadar and Hawk’s Bay.

    “Millions of us are still anguished with Strings ending their divinely gifted partnership of more than three decades. An entire generation grew up on their legendary music,” wrote the actor in the caption. “Whether it was the first brush of love, careless abandon of youth, heartbreak or experiments with finding our calling—Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia were always there with their symphonies, ballads [and] rock songs.”

    “I am also overcome with a flurry of emotions and gush of memories as I see them going their own way,” shared the actor further. “My personal and professional association with them dates back to the late 80s, almost from the time Strings made a splash in the world of Pakistani music for the first time.”

    Recalling the memories, Adnan said: “My first performance with them was in 1989 during a stage show at Funland where they played Maine Tujhe Kabhi Dekha Na Tha. We were in our early 20s, ready to take on the world. From then on till 2015 World Cup, we worked together at intermittent intervals.”

    “In Aankhen Chhupa Ke from their third album Duur in 2002, I shared space with my wife. The video was shot on a shoe-string budget at Mubarak village. The World Cup theme Phir Say Game Utha Day was the last time we performed together. I think I would be the most common face in their videos,” he remarked.

    Talking about the video he shared, Adnan said: “Sharing here a rare gem from their talented stable with an almost juvenile looking yours truly. The song is Aaj Main Khudi Say Ladta Gaya.”

    “The year was 1993. Bilal decided to expand his genius to direction, but more so to give me orders and directions,” said Adnan. “Natasha and I shot it at Hawk’s Bay and Gwadar desert in Balochistan. A rather bold video for its time with animal carcass and snakes featuring along with two good looking people and a very hummable song.”

    Replying to Adnan’s post Faisal said: “Thank you for always being there.”

  • VIDEO: Saba Qamar’s beau Azeem Khan responds to ‘harassment’ allegations

    Saba Qamar recently confirmed that she will soon be getting married to Australia-based entrepreneur Azeem Khan. Soon after the announcement, a woman alleged Khan of harassment in an “open letter to Saba Qamar”.

    “I am one of those women he needlessly dragged all across social media,” said the woman in the letter. “For what? A few likes and views?”

    She alleged that Khan leaked pictures and videos of her from a female-only group and posted it on social media because of which she received rape and death threats.

    “His posts led to multiple messages in my inbox from guys telling me they will find me and they will rape me or kill me,” said the woman adding: “We won’t stand by women who stand by men like these.”

    Khan, however, has denied the allegations and says that he has been wrongly accused.

    In a video message, the businessman said: “I only want to say one thing, what is the point of uploading statues on social media. Let’s come through a proper channel.”

    “I don’t care about Saba’s past, neither does she care about mine,” he added.

    Ahad also praised his wife, calling her “a beauty”.
