    Faryal Mehmood reveals relationship status

    Actress Faryal Mehmood has been in the spotlight for both her impressive acting career as well as candid opinions. This time, however, she has made headlines for opening up about her relationship status.

    Appearing as a guest on After Hours with Ushna Shah, Faryal opened up about her current relationship status.

    When asked if she was single, she said, “I am single… very much single.” It may be noted that Faryal Mehmood had tied the knot with actor Daniyal Raheal in 2020, but the marriage had ended in divorce.

    On the show, it wasn’t just about her relationship status as the Raqeeb Se actor also voiced discomfort with a growing trend among celebrities, particularly women.

    “This new trend where people sit and praise their lovers on TV is very cringeworthy. For God’s sake, stop it! Especially women… you know, they sit on TV shows and say, ‘This is what happened to me… they are like this… they are like that.’ For God’s sake, respect yourself and keep your dignity. Women talking like this doesn’t look good, especially actresses,” she said while calling out celebrities who openly gush about their partners on TV shows.

    The Laal Ishq actress also talked about narcissism in society, stressing that it was important for people to recognise the basic traits of narcissists. “It is important for society to realise that narcissism very much exists,” she said and noted that narcissists often lacked empathy and showed no guilt for hurting others.

    Faryal Mehmood has starred in drama such as, ‘Farwa Ki ABC’, ‘Khuda Dekh Raha Hai’, ‘Aap Ke Liye’, ‘Teri Chah Mein’ and ‘Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai’.

    She has also starred in movies such as ‘Wakhri’, ‘Nayab’ and ‘Chikkar’.

     

    Earlier, Faryal had also opened up about her divorce during an interview with Ahsan Khan. “The reason why I didn’t want to talk about it is that it’s not just me who is involved.”

    “I don’t want to talk about my ex-husband and his family, who are also prominently involved in the media. Whatever happened between the two of us, I would never want to dish out the details of it.”

    “It’s our personal lives, don’t say mean things about it. It happened because it was bound to happen, you know. It’s fine,” she said.

    The statements had come as Faryal confirmed her divorce. “Yes, it’s true. I mean, I am single but this isn’t something to be discussed.”

  • Fiza Ali gives tough love to teen seeking relationship advice on live show

    Fiza Ali gives tough love to teen seeking relationship advice on live show

    Fiza Ali is known for being outspoken but did she recently cross lines with a girl who asked her for advice?

    During a live show, the television host got angry at a young caller who asked for love advice. This heated exchange is now trending on social media.
    The viral video shows a teenaged girl calling into Fiza’s show, sharing that she has feelings for a boy and asking for advice and a spiritual solution to win his love.

    The 18-year-old caller said that although she has strong feelings for the boy, he doesn’t show any interest in her.

    Fiza Ali, clearly frustrated, asked the girl her age and then lost her temper.

    Turning to the religious scholar on the show, she questioned the moral values of society and why such issues need to be discussed. The scholar responded that proper upbringing is crucial and parents must pay more attention.

    Fiza did not hold back, calling the girl shameless for bringing up such a topic on live television.

    “There should be a limit to shamelessness,” she said, adding that the girl’s parents should be embarrassed.

    After calming down, Fiza advised the girl to focus on her education and make her parents proud instead of getting into a relationship.
    She also emphasized the importance of being a good role model for younger siblings.

    The intense moment has sparked a conversation online, with people divided over Fiza’s reaction and the girl’s request for advice.

  • Tinder now has ‘arranged dating’ feature

    Tinder now has ‘arranged dating’ feature

    Every singleton dreads this question from their parents: “Are you currently dating anyone?” However, thanks to Tinder’s new feature, those days of avoiding this inquiry might be a thing of the past.  

    Tinder has introduced a feature called “Tinder Matchmaker,” which enables users’ friends and family to view and recommend potential matches for them. This feature might have spared Robert De Niro’s character a great deal of turmoil in the film “Meet the Parents,” where he clashed with his potential son-in-law, played by Ben Stiller.

    Tinder Matchmaker is currently available in the UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, and Vietnam. It will gradually expand to other countries.  

    This feature builds on the common practice of users seeking their friends’ opinions by handing them their phones. According to Melissa Hobley, the chief marketing officer, “For years, singles have asked their friends to help find their next match on Tinder, and now we’re making that so easy with Tinder Matchmaker. It brings your circle of trust into your dating journey, helping you see potential matches you might be overlooking from the perspective of those closest to you.”  

    Tinder, which initially launched in September 2012, has significantly transformed the online dating landscape. In September, it introduced a $500 invite-only membership tier called Tinder Select, catering to “elite” users, offered to less than 1 per cent of users.   

    Additionally, in August, the company announced testing an artificial intelligence tool designed to select a user’s best-looking photos for their profiles, with the hope of increasing the likelihood of getting swiped right. This tool will analyse a user’s photo album and choose the five images that best represent them. 

  • ‘We didn’t want a haram relationship’: Hira Khan on why she, Arslan Khan married early

    ‘We didn’t want a haram relationship’: Hira Khan on why she, Arslan Khan married early

    Celebrity couple Hira Khan and Arsalan Khan were guests on a recent episode of Express Entertainment’s ‘The Talk Talk Show’ with Hassan Choudary. During the conversation, Hira Khan opened up about the couple’s decision to get married early, even though the two had just began their careers, and didn’t wait to settle down before tying the knot.

    “If you’re planning to do something as blissful as Nikkah, then there is no way it will prevent rizq from coming in your way. It’s not true that you will face hurdles in your work life,” Hira said.

    “A lot of people told us ‘brands won’t pick you.’ ‘Your image would change because you would be a married couple, you would be out of that millennial category’”, recalled the ‘Guru’ actress. “But that never bothered us. We were doing this with the intention that we don’t want a haram relationship, even engagement for a long time. We just want to be religiously right, nothing bad will happen if your intentions are pure.”

    Actor Arsalan Khan said it’s better that couples settle down early rather than later in life “If you’re going to get married later in life, then isn’t it better that you do it now? If you’re thinking no, I’ll do it later in life, that means your intentions are not right. Because you’re thinking if you find someone new you’ll ditch the woman and marry them.”

    “I only wanted to create a stable life,” the ‘College Gate’ actor said. “I wanted to focus on my career, and I need to have someone back home whom I could talk with without worrying about whether this relationship is good, is it breaking?”

    “We think we married quite late,” joked Hira. “We should have married even earlier.”
