    ‘Games, recreational stuff’ should not be part of religious programs: Noor ul Haq Qadri

    Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Noor-ul-Haq Qadri has written a letter to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and has proposed different guidelines for Ramzan transmission.

    “I would like to draw your kind attention to a very sensitive issue which has been observed since last few years that various TV channels telecast Ramzan transmission in the holy month of Ramzan. During these transmissions, different programs/shows are anchored/presented by a number of hosts who due to lack of proper Islamic Education hardly qualify to anchor/present such programs. As a result, different controversies are created and the general public rush to social media trolling such content and also complain to this ministry as well as the other authorities.”

    In order to foil the emergence of such controversies, the following guidelines have been proposed for Ramzan transmission for observance by all media channels:

    • Religious programs during Ramzan Transmissions shall be anchored/presented only by religiously well-versed and educated persons
    • Anchor/presenter and all the participants shall follow modesty in their dress code and appearance to honour the sanctity of the holy month of Ramzan
    • No person shall be allowed to discuss controversial religious or sectarian issues. Sanctity of religious personalties of all sects/religious communists must be ensured
    • Game shows or recreational stuff shall not be aired immediately before or after Sehar/Iftar timings, moreover, the games and such stuff may not be part of religious programs
    • Promotion of religious/sectarian harmony and propagation of Islamic teachings shall be the prime focus of Ramzan transmissions
    • Unethical/ immoral stuff, activity and advertisement shall not be telecast during the holy month of Ramzan

  • ‘What’s wrong with people?’: Alizeh Shah responds to criticism on new song

    Alizeh Shah has hit back at those criticising her choice of outfit rather than talking about important topics like Palestine. The actor is being targeted for her clothes in the music video of her debut song with Sahir Ali Bagga. Alizeh was also the top trend on Pakistani Twitter on Monday with people passing indecent remarks over her physical appearance.

    Responding to the attacks, Shah said: “I find all the memes and criticism amusing.”

    “However, the fact that a trivial topic to discuss is now the most trending issue in our country instead of becoming a voice of Palestine,” continued the actor.

    “What’s wrong with our people,” she questioned.

    The song named Badnamiyan is produced by Amria Sahir and is directed by JoviFilms and is penned down by Imran Raza.

    Shah was recently seen in the Ramazan special drama serial Tanaa Banaa along with Danyal Zafar. The on-scene chemistry between Danyal and Alizeh was admired by many.

    5 best moments from ‘Chupke Chupke’

    Safe to say, we’re not getting over Chupke Chupke anytime soon given the amount of light-hearted entertainment it provided us during Ramzan this year. The show has been a hit with the audiences with episodes trending on televsion and social media. The highlight of the series included the love story between Faazi (Osman Khalid Butt) and Meenu (Ayeza Khan) and Haadi (Arslan Naseer) and Mishi (Aymen Saleem).

    Since Chupke Chupke ended on a high and happy note, we decided to take look back at some of our favourite scenes from the romantic-comedy show. Though it was extremely hard to narrow down the list to just five, we did our best. Check it out:

    Faazi and Meenu’s first romantic scene

    First time pyaar ka izhar and Bebe’s raid

    Faazi’s reaction to Meenu’s foot injury

    Mushtaq Plumber and Hajra Padicure Wali

    Haadi and Faazi’s patch-up and Faazi requesting Haadi to placate Meenu for him

    Chupke Chupke was a complete package with a high dose of entertainment and emotions, power-packed performances, romance and comedy.

    In a video that has gone viral on social media, Fahad takes a live call during the show and asks the person their name. When the person responds “Sania,” Fahad asks her if she is Sania Mirza to which Malik says: “This can not be her.”

    However, the caller proceeds to say: “Yes, this is Sania Mirza Malik.”

    Fahad, who by this time is in fits, says: “Bahu ki call aai hai, welcome to the show.” Meanwhile, Shoaib is in shock.

    “Did my husband failed to recognise my voice?,” questions Sania then. At this point Malik immediately stands up, holds his ears and apologises to his wife for failing to recognise her voice on the call.

  • Ramzan dramas: On-screen couples with killer chemistry

    Ramzan dramas: On-screen couples with killer chemistry

    Take a flashback to the past few years, we have been observing the trend of airing sitcoms or romantic-comedy dramas on different channels during the month of Ramzan. Although this trend initially received much criticism. However, with the passage of time, people have started to enjoy watching these entertainment packages. Chupke Chupke and Tanaa Banaa of HUM TV are giving us laughter dose after every Iftaar, while Geo TV has given Ishq Jalebi. 

    These dramas are offering comedy, controversies and family politics but they’ve also given us four delightful on-screen couples. Zain and Zoya from Tanaa Banaa, Hadi and Mishi, Meenu and Faazi/Ustaad Jee from Chupke Chupke and Basim and Bela from Ishq Tamasha.

    Zain and Zoya

    Zain (Danyal Zafar) is a young boy who fell in love with Zoya (Alizeh Shah) at first sight. The couple has interesting chemistry with Zain expressing all his love for Zoya and Zoya just starting to realise that how much Zain loves her. While Zoya is stubborn, Zain is a loving and caring husband. The two are poles apart and this keeps the drama interesting.

    Hadi and Mishi

    Arslan Naseer is playing the role of Hadi while Aymen Saleem is acting as Mishi in Chupke Chupke. There is a unique hidden chemistry between this couple that was initially growing in the form of one-sided love. But now that Hadi has also fallen in love with Mishi, this love story has taken a new turn and one of the reasons why you tune into Chupke Chupke every night.

    Meenu and Faazi /Ustaad Jee

    Ayeza Khan is playing as Meenu and Osman Khalid Butt is playing as Faaz aka Meenu’s Ustaad Jee. Faaz used to teach Meenu so she calls him Ustaad Jee. However, in a strange turn of event the two ended up getting married and while they were initially embarrassed by this development, they are now slowly beginning to catch feelings.

    Faaz, who didn’t like Meenu for her carelessness and ignorance towards studies, is now falling for her innocence. Meenu too has started to like him and their cute ways of showing affection is making the drama more interesting. With many twists and turns, their wedding is at stake and everyone is eager to see what will happen next and what new problem will arise for the newly weds.

    Basim and Bela

    Ishq Jalebi stars the Madiha Imam and Wahaj Ali in leading roles. Basim who is on the lookout for a shortcut to go abroad is in cahoots with Bela (Madiha Imam). She is his sidekick, best friend, and partner in crime in all that he does and also his maternal cousin who was orphaned as a child and lives with them. While Basim may not have realised how much Bela truly loves him, we the audiences can definitely see it and are absolutely loving the chemistry the two have with each other. With scenes that will make your heart have a happy dance, these two stars are a treat to watch and we’re anxious to see what Ishq Jalebi has in store for them next.

    While each couple has its own charm, my favourite has to be Meenu and Faazi. Both Osman and Ayeza have brought Meenu and Faazi to life brilliantly. Very much like Faaz, I used to detest Meenu and didn’t want him to marry her. But as the story progressed, I am also enjoying their naivety, blamelessness and non-romantic fondness. Looking forward to seeing how they will cross all obstacles among them and finally become husband and wife.
