Juggun Kazim has opened up about being fat-shamed and criticised each time she gave birth.
In an interview with BBC Urdu, Juggun shared that she gained almost 30 kg after giving birth to her first child.
“I used to cry secretly in washrooms,” said the talk show host, adding that she was forced to think and question her decision of giving birth.
Juggun further said that after giving birth to her youngest daughter recently she received some really mean comments from her co-workers on her body.
Talking about the impact of body shaming on mental health Juggun said: “I had really bad Postpartum Depression [because of this].”
“Kasam se dil chahta tha zameen phaatay aur mein uss main girun, aur zameen band hojae aur chapter closed,” said Kazim.
Juggun also shared that she gets some very nasty comments over her chest.
“Mein aaj kal chalti bhi hun toh iss tarah kab nikal kar ke kisi ke meri chest per nazar na pare,” said Juggun, adding: “I don’t want to feel like this, and no girl should feel this way.”
Earlier, after her miscarriage Juggun had opened up about being fat-shamed while being pregnant.
Meesha Shafi has stepped forward to support the Aurat March after it faced backlash over a doctored video, which is being widely circulated on social media.
“Classic, twisted and dark,” wrote the singer on Twitter. “A marginalized, victimized and vulnerable sector of society takes peacefully to the streets on a universally designated single day set aside for them, the usual rabid suspects take it straight into the twilight zone!”
“Corona ko kahin hum na ho jayein,” she added on a humorous note.
In another tweet, Shafi shed light on the main reason behind the backlash.
“And remember, this whole thing started this time because a young lady displayed a poster stating she was sexually abused by a maulvi,” said the singer.
“Pedophiles are running free. Children can’t play. But the #AuratMarch is a western agenda,” she said further, adding: “This is what epic gaslighting looks like!”

Ever since Syra Yousuf posted a selfie of herself and Bilal Ashraf, social media users cannot stop shipping the two and asking them to get married to each other.
Shahbaz Shigri penned a “sappy” birthday wish for ladylove, Aima Baig and expressed his love for her.
Sharing an adorable picture of the two, Shigri said: “There is too much sentimental stuff to unpack and I’m going to try and avoid turning this into a college thesis, but here goes.”
“Happiest of birthdays Aima, my partner, my homie, my muse and my heart. There is no greater happiness in this world than making you happy, and seeing you smile and laugh like nothing else matters,” he continued.
“I know I’ve said this a thousand times, but I’ll say it once more for good measure,” he said further. “Since we walked into each others’ lives, quite randomly I might add, every day has been the best day.”
He further added: “So here’s to many more cheestatically sappy declarations of love and adoration to come!”
Expressing his love for Aima, Shigri added, “I know you aren’t too big on birthdays, especially your own. But I love you, and you have no idea how important it is, the day you came into being.”
“Otherwise I’d be sitting at home, single and bored making fun of some idiot writing a squirmy lovey-dovey birthday msg for his/her partner. So thank you for being born. Ilysm”
“Me to my alternative reality single-self: ohh how the turntables,” concluded Shigri on a humorous note.
In December 2020, Hamza had announced that he will be writing a book on religion and God.
“Will be a little inactive on social media because of that,” he had said, adding that he hopes to be done with it by June 2021.
In the process of writing a book….obviously it,ll be about God …hoping to be done by June 2021 Insha Allah. Will be a little inactive on social media bcz of that.
In November 2019, the Alif actor had announced that he is taking a break from acting to focus on his spiritual journey and get a better understanding of Islam.
“I had this divine revelation some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die,” Hamza had said in a video message, adding that death is inevitable.
“All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the day of judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the day of Judgment.”
Hamza later clarified that he is only taking a break from acting and will continue to make videos and use his voice and popularity to spread the message of Islam and inspire others to undertake this spiritual journey.
Meanwhile, Hamza often engages with his followers on social media and shares his thoughts and understanding of religion with them.
In my opinion, the biggest mistake we Muslims have done collectively is to make it a standard that unless Quran is not understood through the lens of Islamic history, it can never be fully understood. This statement goes very much against a clear and repeated order in Quran.
Yes. I believe as a Muslim tht Bible does contain sum bits of the will of Allah & its my persnl opinion tht what Jesus Peace Be Upon Him said in the book of Mathews as chargesheet against the Pharisees is 100% applicable today to most of the popular clergy of all religions.
Because we have always had the same quran throughout the world for 1442 yrs with even some variant readings well preserved, so there is no incentive to doubt.
Siddiqui, in a recent social media post, opened up on his love for the flute and what drew him to it.
“I started romancing the flute quite fortuitously when a flute seller who looked more like a vagabond playing for the love of music, caught my fancy many years ago in Karachi Boating Basin,” shared Adnan.
“Having had an inherent ear for music, I had trained myself to play harmonica during my young days,” he continued. “So the decision to dabble into a new territory was an obvious transition.”
“Though memory fails me to recall the composition that man regaled me with at the time time, it did leave me with a strong affinity towards the flute” wrote Adnan further. “The next day I found myself wandering through by-lanes of the walled city of Karachi, scouting for a flute that would instantly metamorphose me into Mozart! Well, that didn’t happen and I have made peace with being a Pied Piper.”
“It’s been a long time and I am still in love with the flute,” added the actor. “Despite being self-taught, not once has it rejected my advances to compose seemingly novice notes. It loves me back equally, offering me experiences that are therapeutic and divine at the same time.”
Adnan was recently spotted bonding with Turkish actors. Last month, Celal Al welcomed Adnan Siddiqui and other Pakistani actors Humayun Saeed, Reema Khan and Sadia Khan in Turkey.
