    Lahore ki university mai jeans banned? Yasir Hussain has something to say

    Famous actor Yasir Hussain responded to the news of the ban on wearing jeans for girls at Government College University Lahore (GCU) with a poetic line, quoting Ali Zaryoun: “Kis ny jeans kari mamnu, pehno achi lagti ho!”

    His comment subtly points at the importance of personal choice in attire.

    GCU Lahore recently introduced a new dress code prohibiting female students from wearing jeans and T-shirts on campus. Male students are required to wear dress shirts and pants, while all intermediate students must adhere to a uniform policy.

    The university administration has stated that students who do not follow the dress code will face fines. While this move is intended to balance cultural and religious values with a professional academic environment, some students have opposed the regulations, arguing that such bans are unusual in universities.

    ‘I feel like I have royal blood in me’: Hareem Farooq

    Actress Hareem Farooq, who is currently playing a negative role in the recently released drama Bismil, has revealed that as a child, she felt she was part of a royal family and always dreamed of becoming a princess like Lady Diana.

    Hareem Farooq appeared on Nida Yasir’s morning show, accompanied by other actors from Sawira Nadeem Samit’s Bismil team.

    In response to a question during the show, Hareem said, “Since childhood, I had a desire to be a princess like Lady Diana, and I always used to ask my parents about my relationship with the royal family.”

    According to the actress, she felt she was part of the royal family and only wanted to be a princess, but her parents always forbade her from having such dreams.

    She said, “When the ghost of becoming Lady Diana left my mind, I thought of becoming a social leader like Mother Teresa.”

    She added, “Then I considered that to become like Mother Teresa, I would have to make a lot of sacrifices; I would have to give up a lot, which is a difficult task, so I gave up that intention too.”

    Farooq clarified that she never considered becoming an actress as a child; she did not want such a life. The actress said that she is a woman who enjoys life, and “the day I do not laugh, I feel that my life has been spent in vain.”

    According to her, “Problems come in everyone’s life, and problems have to end one day, but it is good to face problems and live with a smile and always thank God.”

  • Bollywood set to make biopic on legendary Pakistani host, Begum Nawazish Ali

    Indian streaming platform EORTV has announced that they are in the process of making a biopic based on the life of the queer icon and Pakistani television host Ali Saleem, who was famous for his cross-dressing alter ego Begum Nawazish Ali. His popular talk show ‘Late Nights With Begum Nawazish Ali’ featured interviews with actors, politicians and even religious figures. In 2010, Saleem, along with actress Veena Malik, were the first Pakistanis to take part in the famous reality show ‘Big Boss’.

    Saleem had described himself as gay, bisexual and even transgender.

    According Deepak Panday, the CEO of EORTV, the channel was planning to approach actor Mallika Sherawat for the role. He also elaborated on the reason they had chosen to film this story:

    “This is a strong story, a story of boldness and courage. The character is multifaceted and needed someone as courageous and undaunted as the Begum thyself. I am planning to approach Mallika Sherawat for this role as she would be apt for a fearless performance like this. It is important to create stories like these that can encourage more and more people to be open about their sexuality and sexual preferences. This is going to be a story of an unapologetically fearless man who’s leading a life of his own choice in spite of living in a politically warm environment”.

    He further went on to say:

     “Begum Nawazish Ali’s background and childhood is interesting but the journey he makes in due course of his life is even more interesting. He has interviewed the who’s who from business, politics, entertainment with gusto. He has courted satire and controversy but managed to make a place in the hearts of the common man. His life will make for very compelling content on screen”.
