    Nadia Khan is not OK with veteran actor Behroze Sabwari’s misogynistic comments, whether they are recent or old.

    In her show, she said, “I think it is okay if he only talks about himself, I have a problem when he pass statements on women. In a recent podcast, he talked about his ex-daughter-in-law. Sometimes, he talks against other women, he also criticizes women for their clothing, and he keeps an eye on how women dress up. Sometimes, he talks against me, it has become a pattern now. Hina Bayat made a brilliant video on his recent viral statement. I really liked her stance. I think it is true that he is enjoying being discussed on various platforms after such statements.”

     Earlier, Behroze Sabzwari was invited as a guest on Nadir Ali’s podcast, where he made several controversial remarks about women. He said, “In Pakistan, a lot of people have motorbikes. Obviously, everyone can’t afford cars. There is inflation and people are barely surviving, but I have noticed one thing: the dressing of women is not appropriate while sitting on bikes. Some women wear weird clothes which cannot be called appropriate. They are not good at all. The clothes are not only see-through but usually are very tight. It shows home training. Women should be fully covered while sitting on the motorbike. This should be strictly kept in mind. Men should also control their eyes, and women should be dressed in an appropriate manner.”

    Pakistan’s most expensive film is set to make its debut in cinemas, marking a new era for the film industry.

    Actors Usman Mukhtar and Faran Tahir, recently appeared on FHM podcast, where they talked about their film ‘Umro Ayyar’, calling it the most expensive production in the country’s history.

    Usman Mukhtar, who plays the legendary ‘Umro Ayyar’, highlighted the need for local support for Pakistani science fiction projects.

We’re making important content for our youth, bridging the gap between them and our traditional stories like Umro Ayyar.”

    The actors found great satisfaction in the film’s basis in classic literature. Faran provided more information on the creative methods used in the production, especially the use of European stunt directors with prior expertise on popular television shows like ‘Game of Thrones.’

    “We identified gaps and brought in international talent where necessary. However, we also established our own VFX studio in Islamabad, which is now fully operational,” he pointed out.

    Faysal Quraishi reveals that Indian streets empty out for Pakistani dramas

    Actor Faysal Quraishi recently appeared on LetsTalk with Sadia Salman. The star talked about how much Indians love Pakistani dramas.
    “I was told by a famous Indian choreographer that when Meri Zaat Zara e Benishan and Humsafar were airing, streets in India would shut down. People loved them that much! He shared this with me personally, and I was amazed by the impact our Pakistani dramas had across the border.”

    While discussing the credibility of awards in the entertainment industry, Faysal said, “I believe that awards should be judged by industry experts, not by audience votes. Globally, credible awards are given by juries comprising field experts. I’d be proud to receive an award decided by experts, not just based on popularity. Currently, audience-based awards often favor those with massive followings, rather than true talent.”

Because you have all the power in that,” he explained. “You create your perception about how that person is. It’s in your mind as a beautiful image. It’s not dependent on the response from the other end. You’re at peace in your mind.”

    Intrigued by his perspective on one-sided love, the interviewer asked if Khushhal had ever experienced it himself, either falling for someone or having someone fall for him. His answer surprised some: “No,” he admitted, “I am just in love with my work.” It seems his dedication to his craft currently takes the place of romantic relationships.

    Bollywood dreams: Sonya Hussyn discusses Bollywood offers, fantasy co-stars

    Its not unusual for talented Pakistani actors to get noticed by Indian filmmakers. One such actor is Sonya Hussyn, who recently shared that she was offered projects from India.

    In an interview with ‘Independent Urdu,’ Sonya talked about her career and who she would like to work with. She mentioned Ali Zafar as her favorite on-screen hero, saying he has a special charm.

    “I never really thought about it, but when it comes to movies, I find Ali Zafar very charming. He has that charisma of a movie hero. There are many good actors, like Fawad Khan, who also have charm, but when it comes to acting, I would choose Ali Zafar,” she said.

    But things got interesting when Sonya talked about her experiences with offers from the Indian film industry. She revealed that she was approached for three different projects. “I have received three film offers from India. One was a Shakespeare screen adaptation of Measure for Measure. The other was a sequel to some old Santosh Kumar film – I can’t recall its name,” she noted.

    One offer, in particular, caught her attention—a film with the famous Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi. “For that one, I even had a meeting with the relevant people but then the exchange with India stopped altogether,” she explained, referring to the stop in collaborations between India and Pakistan after the Uri attack and the subsequent ban on Pakistani artists working in India.
