  • ‘These are just excuses’: Sonya Hussyn on nepotism in entertainment industry

    ‘These are just excuses’: Sonya Hussyn on nepotism in entertainment industry

    Renowned actress Sonya Hussain has denied the existence of nepotism in Pakistan’s entertainment industry during her appearance on the Afterhour show with Ushna Shah.

    “It is not necessary to have family ties to make a place in the industry. These are all excuses, you should do your work,” she claimed.

    While she acknowledged favouritism in the industry, she thinks “there is no such thing as nepotism in the industry, or only fair colour is preferred, but one who knows how to work can make his place based on his work.”

    Dismissing the complaints of most artists needing to get work or securing lead roles as groundless, she added, “People only make excuses that they are not getting work, jobs are given based on nepotism in the industry or only fair complexion is preferred.”

    Hussyn emphasised that hard work pays off and advised the newcomers to avoid making excuses and focus on hard work.

  • Can Emaan Fatima fill in Shehnaaz Gill’s shoes?

    Can Emaan Fatima fill in Shehnaaz Gill’s shoes?

    Tamasha Season 3 is currently at its peak, with each contestant giving their all to win. Among them, one participant, Emaan, seems to be emulating Shehnaaz Gill’s style.

    Shehnaaz, a popular contestant from Bigg Boss Season 13, was known for her mischievous antics and won over everyone’s hearts, including Salman Khan’s. Although she wasn’t the season winner, her charm and innocence made her a fan favorite. She was also close to Sidharth Shukla, the eventual winner of that season.

    However, Emaan’s attempts to copy Shehnaaz’s mannerisms seem limited to just her speech, and so far, she hasn’t been able to win over the audience or her fellow contestants. But the season is far from over, and it’s possible that Emaan might still manage to cast her spell on the audience and the show’s host, just like Shehnaaz did. Only time will tell if Emaan can truly replicate Shehnaaz’s magic

  • Humayun Saeed’s cool reply to Firdaus Jamal’s hate

    Humayun Saeed’s cool reply to Firdaus Jamal’s hate

    Renowned actor Humayun Saeed has responded to veteran actor Firdous Jamal’s negative comments about him. Humayun Saeed agreed with Yasir Hussain’s Instagram story, where Yasir advised hosts to stop asking controversial questions.

    Yasir suggested that hosts should get a written statement from Firdous Jamal about Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan and avoid bringing up these topics in live shows.

    Yaris Hussain wrote: “I love Humayun Saeed and he is the biggest film star of pakistan. But meri nazar mai Firdous Jamaal sahab bhi aik kamaal k adakaar hain. Is umer mai unhain show pe bula k khaas isi qisam k sawaal poochna munasib baat nahihai. In se aik hi baar stamp paper pe likhwa Len k woh mahira Aur humaiyon k bary mai kya sochty hai Aur baksh den”.

    Saeed reshared Hussain’s story and wrote, “Yes, to all the hosts”.

    With his recent remarks on Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, veteran actor Firdous Jamal has sparked controversy once more. Despite the backlash he received in the past, Jamal stands firm on his statements, particularly his criticism of Mahira Khan’s looks and acting skills.

    The conversation then shifted to Humayun Saeed, where the host asked, “Humayun Saeed, who is currently considered Pakistan’s most expensive actor and is seen as a pinnacle of acting in the country, often receives immense admiration from his fans. Given his stature, do you think his acting deserves higher recognition, or should we perhaps give him a bit more credit for his performances?”

    Firdous Jamal said, “Where does Humayun Saeed stand among the great actors? Is he in the league of legends like Marlon Brando or Stephen Boyd, I don’t think so.”

    The host Junaid Junaid Saleem said, “Sir, he charges a lot of money.”

    “Come on, even a prostitute charges money, so what’s the big deal if Humayun Saeed charges a lot,” Jamal replied.
