  • Gohar Rasheed pens a note for ‘abusive’, ‘spineless’ men, cites a scene from ‘Laapata’

    Gohar Rasheed pens a note for ‘abusive’, ‘spineless’ men, cites a scene from ‘Laapata’

    Actor Gohar Rasheed has penned a long note for abusive men who think “physically abusing women is fine.”

    Sharing a clip from his drama serial Laapata, the Digest Writer star turned to social media and wrote: “I hate the display of physical abuse on television. This is why I have always refrained from doing it in at least my own characters. It’s unfortunate but it has been done so frequently on our television that it’s almost become a subconscious reality for us.”

    The Mann Mayal actor further added: “Apparently, physically abusing women is “fine” and any misogynistic, spineless man can get away with it, just like Daniyal thought in yesterday’s episode of Laapata. It may sound strange but The Thappad scene was the only reason as to why I took up the character of Daniyal.”

    “To prove that oppression is a choice. If any insecure man with his fragile ego tries his so called muscles on you, make the choice that Falak did, without any fear! One tight slap back from a brave woman to such weak man in our society would be a giant leap for women kind”, he concluded.

    “Girls like Falak rock. Men like Daniyal shock,” concluded Rasheed.

    In the video, husband (Danyal) slaps wife (Falak) and she slaps him back with a warning to break his hands if he’ll think of doing that again.

    Featuring a far-famed cast of Ayeza Khan, Sarah , Ali Rehman Khan and Gohar , Laapata airs on Hum TV. The drama is written and directed by Khizer Idrees.

    ‘Will choose ‘great man’ Khalil-ur-Rehman over Marvi Sirmed’: Feroze Khan gets candid

    Actor Feroz Khan made it clear on Tabish Hashmi’s chat show that he will choose Khalil-ur-Rehman over Marvi Sirmed.

    The actor said that if he had been asked to choose between social activist Marvi Sirmed and Khalil-ur-Rehman, he would have sided with the writer. Speaking on the show, the Gul-e-Rana star argued for choosing the Pyarey Afzal writer and claimed that looking at the surveys conducted on the internet, most Pakistanis choose him.

    He revealed that initially there were differences between him and the Sadqay Tumharay writer on some issues but now matters have been settled between the two.

    The host asked the actor if he was not part of the industry and as an ordinary person he was asked to choose between Sirmed or Qamar, whose side would he take? To which the actor immediately replied that he would choose the Mere Paas Tum Ho writer and at the same time he also called Qamar the best man.

    “I respect him a lot. He is a very loving person and a great man. We had some differences but we have sorted it. He’s a great guy. So I will choose him,” he said.

    Although the actor did not explicitly say that Khalil had the civility and distinction to speak, he argued that only those who respect others get respect. Talking on the same subject, he also said that now the differences between him and Qamar are over but he did not clarify what were the issues between them.

    Khalil once objected on Feroze being casted in one of his dramas.

    On the other hand, Journalist Shahid Hashmi claimed that Mani will continue as the Board’s chairman.

    In another tweet, Shahid Hashmi said: “As per PCB constitution Mani’s second tenure will be three years but since he doesn’t want to serve the full term a new chairman can come next year.”

    Journalist Absa Komal also shared on Twitter that PM Khan has “selected Ramiz Raja as Chairman PCB.”

    https://twitter.com/AbsaKomal/status/1429796388007780355?s=19

    Meanwhile, it has been reported that members of the PCB’s Board of Governors (BoG) will give votes to the nominated members and the new chairman will be elected. Raja will serve as a board member and then the Chairman will be selected after re-election.

    Ex-Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has backed Ramiz Raja. Here’s what he said: “He hasn’t been going for commentary duties in the last couple of series and that gave us some signals for the future. A cricketer coming in as a chairman would benefit domestic cricket. It will bring in money.”

    People also shared jokes and memes after this news.
