    Ismat Zaidi criticizes newcomers for lack of respect towards seniors

Even today, she continues to excel in her roles in various dramas. As a guest on Ghazal Siddique’s podcast, she highlighted essential changes required within the industry to foster a more positive environment.

    She said, “There should be a criteria for what an artist with so much experience deserves. Many times, the production is paying so much money to an actor who may have started two years ago and ignore the rights of senior artists. I have had these bad experiences in the productions of actors who should have known better.”

    Ismat also shared details about bad experiences with new directors. “There was one director who misbehaved and insulted me in front of everyone. I was extremely disappointed,” she lamented.

    Shahzad Sheikh’s family stayed together even after his parents got divorced

    Actor Shahzad Sheikh is the son of 80s and 90s superstar Javed Sheikh. Shahzad’s childhood was marked by his parents’ separation.

    In an interview with Ahmad Ali Butt, Shahzad Sheikh shared how his mother Zeenat Mangi played an important role in their upbringing.
    “Credit goes to my mother; she never once thought, ‘I haven’t met the kids, so this won’t happen or that won’t happen.’ Always in the summers, during vacations, she sent us to Lahore for two or three months. We spent time with my father and cousins, bonding with them. Obviously, I see regret in my mother’s eyes, in my father’s eyes, that the decision wasn’t right. If you see regret in someone’s eyes, you can’t do anything more than that.”

  • Tabish Hashmi’s take on Celebrity Podcasts

    The podcast format allowed for candid discussions, with Tabish Hashmi, host of ‘Hasna Mana Hai’ show and a renowned stand-up comedian, as the guest.

    Tabish talked about how interviews with famous people work. “Doesn’t this seem strange, a guest asking for huge amounts of money for interviews, like 1 crore rupees?” He wondered why they wanted so much, suggesting a more sensible option of 20,000 dollars.
    Reflecting on his experiences, Tabish shared, “I’ve seen that guests have different reasons for doing interviews. Some ask for a lot of money, while others join because of respect or personal connections. It’s interesting to see how fame and money play a role.”
    Throughout the discussion, Tabish emphasized, “I believe it’s crucial to uphold professionalism and mutual respect in interviews. Despite some difficulties, I’ve found that most interactions conclude positively, leaving both guests and hosts satisfied.”
    At the podcast’s end, Tabish’s thoughts offered valuable understanding of how celebrity interviews really work, giving a peek into the complex dynamics behind them.

    Amar Khan is the daughter of veteran PTV actor Fareeha Jabeen.

    Sharing her experience, Amar Khan expressed, “My father is not currently supportive. In the past, during some vacations, I met him. However, he wasn’t pleased when he learned about my entry into the media industry. Our relationship was quite formal. When I was about to enter the media industry, he sent me an email expressing his concerns. He wrote, ‘You are entering your mother’s profession, and I don’t want you to inadvertently bring shame to the family. I am not okay with it.’ In response, I assured him, ‘I will not bring shame to my mother or your family.’ Since then, we haven’t communicated. Despite my mother’s efforts to reconcile, I find it challenging to develop affection for him.”
    Amar Khan also discussed her parents’ divorce, stating, “I am the only child from my mother’s side. My parents separated; I didn’t spend much time with my father, so I am a single child, brought up in Lahore in a Punjabi family.”
