Actress Hiba Bukhari is all praise for one actor that she has worked with.
She talked about acting alongside Sheheryar Munawar for the first time in ‘Radd’. In a behind-the-scenes video from the sets, Bukhari shared her thoughts on working with Munawar for the first time. She said, “I was actually surprised by how positive he is. He brings a lot of positivity.”
Bukhari added, “Even though he’s been in the movies for a while now, I thought it might take some time to get used to working with him, but he’s really nice, sweet, and cooperative. He’s great at discussing scenes and rehearsing dialogues with me to make our on-screen chemistry work.” “Many actors don’t prepare like this, even though it’s a basic requirement in our field. Usually, actors don’t like it,” said the ‘Radd’ actor. “But Sheheryar does, and it lets us talk about changes before telling the director,” she finished.
ASP Sheharbano Naqvi recently appeared in a morning show on Pakistan Television Network where the program host Juggun Kazim appreciated her for her courage and kissed her hand.
Naqvi is being feted continuously since she personally saved a woman from a charged mob in Ichra Bazar, Lahore, at risk to her own safety.
Juggan’s gesture has been getting a lot of reactions. Some think it was a bit too much while other think that the step was taken so that it could go viral.
Sheharbano is making waves for all the right reasons, all across national and international media. Juggun also posted a picture with the ASP and captioned it, “I met my hero today.” In the live show she said that because of Naqvi, she now feels safe in the country, adding that in the future her daughter will feel secure too.
During the course of the interview, the ASP lightheartedly explained the kind of upbringing she has had and what really happened that day. She said that she got to know about the call through her assistant about a religious offence. She emphasized that she immediately stood up to leave. “My mother is so used to me being on duty all the time that she said, have tea first,” Sheharbano related, to which she rolled her eyes like “seriously”.
Naqvi also recorded a session for Juggun’s YouTube Channel where she was again showered with praise but was asked about her future aspirations and the clauses that are helpful in women’s protection.
In the clip, she admitted to a desire to become a published writer in the future.
“Seek help. If you are stuck in a mob, do not argue and just make a call on 15,” she said while explaining that a similar incident had happened in the same market weeks before the Ichra Mob case and that woman out of fear changed her clothes. This provoked these people to force this woman. “Given the strong woman she was, she refused to change her clothes and this lead to that mob gathering around her.”
Speaking to the women of the country, Naqvi emphasised that, “If someone coerces you, for your dressing, views or the person you are with, then please call 15 or seek help from women police officers in the nearby police station.”
Pakistan has launched the largest social protection effort in the country’s history with plans to pay close to $1 billion dollars to the poor in an effort to counter the economic fallout amid the new coronavirus — COVID-19 — outbreak, CNN reported.
The Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme is a financial assistance effort to assist parts of the population that have been worst hit by the ongoing lockdown in the country, according to Sania Nishtar, special assistant to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety.
The programme, which aims to cover 12 million families, is meant to assist them to “buy rations so that they don’t go hungry”.
The premier himself has also lauded the “historic” transfer of cash to the needy, terming it a “great achievement” of his government.
“Today saw the launch of the biggest cash distribution by any government in Pakistan’s history, directly to the most vulnerable and needy citizens in our society,” he said in a series of tweets.
This is a great achievement of our govt to transfer cash to the needy in our society on such a massive scale across the country. Rs 144 billion will be distributed amongst 12 million families over the next two weeks. pic.twitter.com/n0CnbwKWeL
Authorities have used SMS messages and Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) numbers from the country’s extensive National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) to identify and contact eligible families.
By the time this report was filed, the number of confirmed cases in Pakistan stood at 4,688 with 68 fatalities and 727 recoveries.
