Actress Rubina Ashraf believes that social media is more powerful than a sword and a pen in this time and age.Recently, she appeared as a guest on ‘Gup Shab’ show.
“Nowadays, people make headlines not because of their work but because of their statements, because today, social media has become very powerful,” she said.
“People easily express whatever is in their hearts since now, there is more power in social media than a sword and a pen. So, it was bound to happen, but people should use it properly. They must learn,” she added.
Ashraf also believes that “When children of celebrities are born and raised in the same environment, nepotism is inevitable.”
Using her daughter as an example, she added, “If I ever get the chance, I would definitely like to work with my daughter, actress Meena Tariq. She grew up watching me and all my friends, whom she considers her aunts. That’s why she was inspired by us to enter this field.”
A-list actor Hania Aamir’s outstanding performance in the new TV serial ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ has earned her a famous fan.
In her review of ARY Digital’s new serial, which stars Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir, veteran actor Marina Khan highlighted Hania’s portrayal of Sharjeena, the empowered yet vulnerable eldest daughter in the family.
“Hania took the cake for me,” Khan said. “Her performance in the last two episodes was brilliant. How she walked after Fahad [Mustafa] dropped her and looked at the house showed many shades and thoughts going through her mind.”
Marina Khan continued, “Every scene she did after that—the shock, the helplessness, the anger, the compromise—she processed all those emotions perfectly. She took the cake for me.”
Fellow critics and actors Shamoon Abbasi and Rubina Ashraf agreed with Marina Khan’s praise.
“I’ve never seen Hania perform like she did in these last two episodes. She was extraordinary, like acting in an international project,” said Abbasi. Rubina Ashraf added, “Hania is undoubtedly a very capable actor. I’ve been her fan since her debut movie ‘Janaan’ where she outshone everyone.
With all the good scripts that came her way, she never disappoints.”
Bushra Ansari keeps aging with grace and confidence, giving us more reasons to love her. Her stellar comedy skills, her decades long career, and her blunt advice to empower women keeps proving she’s the GOAT. Recently, during an appearance at ‘The Talk Talk Show’, the actress spoke in depth about two prevailing topics that more working women should take her advise on: remembering that its okay to want to work after marriage, and that the right to divorce was granted to them by Islam.
On the show she discussed the basics of establishing a flourishing career while also remaining a full-time mom. The ‘Tere Bin’ actress said that aside from performing on screen, she kept working as a full time mother and a housewife who cooked food and dropped her kids to school. Her advice to stay-at-home mothers, especially women working in the showbiz industry, was to keep multi-tasking in different roles.
“Allah has given us a lot of abilities so we should keep searching for them. This is the advice I also give to girls working in showbiz to keep working after marriage, whether or not they start a family.”
Bushra elaborated that women shouldn’t stop after getting married or after having a child, giving examples of several actors who have done the same. “I worked on my career and raised my children along with this. Along side with Rubina Ashraf, Samina Ahmed, Saba Hamid. We continued to work, while also taking care of our children.”
The ‘Dolly Ki Aegi Barat’ spoke about her divorce from her husband of 36 years, reflecting on her Nikah, when her father made sure to include the ‘right to divorce’ clause. The actress elaborated that in contradiction to what society thinks, the Quran has given women a lot of rights in Islam.
“The right to divorce is written in the Nikkah, which is cut out. When someone is getting married, they can chose to have the right to divorce. This is initiated when a discussion is held with the boy’s family, because they can give you this right. It’s not that a woman can just hand over a divorce, but its a granted right given by her husband and in-laws. So this is something I feel even the boy’s side of the family should understand.”
Ansari said using the right to divorce was not an easy task because ending a marriage can be painful “I had the right to divorce from the first day, but I spent 36 years in my marriage. I would have used it in a snap but no one wants to separate this way. But when the time came, I used this right.”
Rubina Ashraf is back home after battling COVID-19 in the hospital for almost two months. The actor tested positive for the virus on June 2 and was hospitalised on June 6.
In an Instagram post, Ashraf’s daughter Minna Tariq shared the happy news and pictures of her mother back home.
“To the smile, I thought I’ll never be able to see again, the hands I thought I’ll never get to kiss again,” wrote Minna in her post. “My beloved Amma fought for a month and came back to us. Each day I prayed to Allah to give me the most precious thing back. Looking at how each day she would fight back to come to us was the most beautiful feeling.”
“This time not only taught me to care for her more but to know I am nothing without her,” she continued. “This picture and post is mostly to thank all the people who prayed for her, her fans who always messaged and asked about her and wished her well. Please keep her in your prayers.”
Rubina also thanked her fans for praying for her in this difficult time.
A couple of weeks ago, Minna had shared that her mother was still fighting the virus and was in the hospital.
Veteran actor Rubina Ashraf, who tested positive for COVID-19, a few days back has reportedly been hospitalised after her condition became critical. She had been isolating at home ever since her test came back positive.
