Actor and director Yasir Hussain has hit out at a netizen for scrutinising him for attending Hum Awards in Toronto amidst flood crises in Pakistan.
The social media user slammed Yasir for being in Canada while the country is battling the flood issue. The user also alleged Hussain of being a hypocrite.
Yasir responded to the netizen by saying that, “I am here for work, like you must be going to your work place. Similarly how cricketers are playing cricket. Like cinema people are selling tickets.”
Hussain concluded, “You also go, do your work.”
A-list actress Sajal Aly was quick to react to Hussain’s post. The Alif star said, “Bilkul sahi (Totally right).”
Last year Yasir slammed actress Nausheen Shah for her interview with Tabish Hashmi. The Jhooti actor took to social media and blasted the Dugdugi diva for bringing up the topic again in public domain.
He has also warned her that next time he will upload the evidence on social media.
Actor Sajal Aly’s Hollywood film What’s Love Got to Do With It? just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where the actress stunned her fans in a black ensemble.
Written and co-produced by Jemima Khan, the Shekhar Kapur directorial was screened at the prestigious festival on Saturday. The cross-cultural British rom-com follows a filmmaker Zoe (Lily James) and juxtaposes her journey to love (swiping on dating apps and bad dates) with that of her close friend Kazim’s (Shazad Latif) who decides to opt for an arranged marriage with Maymouna (Aly). It will release in cinemas on January 27.
The Yaqeen Ka Safar diva was seen bonding with Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and film’s producer Jemima Khan’s son.
She also posed with her transnational co-stars including Bollywood’s Shabana Azmi.
After being a fan favourite couple, the reel pair of Sajal Aly and Bilal Abbas Khan are set to reunite in ARY Digital’s forthcoming drama.
The popular ‘O Rangreza’, and Khel Khel Mein duo is all set to share the screen yet again in an upcoming drama serial of ARY Digital. Directed by ace filmmaker Nadeem Baig of London Nahin Jaunga’fame, who also has super hit dramas like ‘Meray Paas Tum Ho’ and ‘Sinf e Aahan’ to his credit, the project is written by veteran actor and celebrated script writer Mohammed Ahmed.
The upcoming drama is tentatively titled Kashaf and is being produced under the banner of Six Sigma Plus Productions of Humayun Saeed and Shahzad Nasib. The currently on-air blockbuster show Mere Humsafar and Habs are also from the same production. According to the reports, ‘Kashaf’ will be a unique story that will touch viewers’ hearts in an impactful manner.
The shoot is already underway and an adorable BTS picture was also released on social media.
Actor Sajal Aly is set to essay the late Fatima Jinnah in a series based on the Indo-Pak independence. Samiya Mumtaz and Sundus Farhan will also be playing Fatima Jinnah’s older portions. All the actresses will perform different phases of the life of Fatima Jinnah during the independence movement.
The writer and director of the series, Danial K Afzal says the prologue is ready for the series based on partition.
“The prologue teaser has three scenes, one of Bombay, one of the ’47 train carrying the beheaded corpses, and the third when she [Fatima Jinnah] stood for the elections,” said Afzal while talking to Dawn.
Each scene in the teaser corresponds to a consequent season. “It will be a series with three seasons and 15 episodes per season.” He explained the series is divided into three seasons. “The first season is going to be pre-independence, the second is going to be during the independence and the third will be post-independence,” said the director.
Afzal said that the series has been scripted entirely from the perspective of Fatima Jinnah and “we’ve only shot the prologue in which Sundus Farhan will play the pre-independence Fatima Jinnah, then the main chunk that is independence will be played by Sajal Aly and post-independence, the whole ’65 era, will be played by Samiya Mumtaz,” he explained.
Mader-e-Milat Fatima Jinnah was a key figure in the independence of Pakistan. Several movies have been made on partition and several actresses got to portray Fatima Jinnah but the biopic on her life specifically has never been made. It has been reported that it will be Sajal Aly (for the phase of age 50) who will depict her along with Samiya Mumtaz (for the age 70) and Sundus Farhan to showcase Jinnah in her 30s.
Dananeer Mobeen will also be seen in the series as a journalist from Bombay.
The series, which is being made by a new production house called Aur Studios, may have a TV release, but is mainly being targeted towards an OTT audience. The teaser is apparently all set to hit screens, but the prologue will release on 14th August.

Actor Sajal Aly took to her Instagram stories to slam the federal government on its announcement of another hike in petroleum prices.
The Mom star termed this announcement as a “petrol bomb”.
The federal government announced that there will be a new hike in the price of petroleum products on Thursday for the next fortnight, putting an additional burden of nearly Rs15-18 per litre on the masses.
The Finance Division, in its notification, said that in view of the fluctuations in petroleum prices in the international market and exchange rate variation, the government has decided to partially apply a petroleum levy, and revise the existing prices of petroleum products “as agreed with the development partners.”
With the fresh hike, the price of petrol will be Rs248.74/litre, diesel will be Rs276.54/litre, kerosene oil will be sold for Rs230.26/litre, and the price of light diesel oil will be Rs226.15/litre.
The coalition govt, since coming to power in April, has raised the price of petrol by Rs84. It had first raised the petrol price by Rs30 on May 26, followed by another increase of Rs30 on June 2. And on June 15, it hiked the price by another by Rs24 today.
Earlier this year the Khel Khel Mein star tweeted that in our society, parents need to learn how to treat their children right as well. These sensitive relations require effort from both sides.
“I believe, along with teaching children how to behave and conduct themselves, we should also teach parents how to treat their children,” she wrote in a tweet. “Parents should get weekly classes (one hour a week, minimum) on how to deal with children and their dilemmas.
The Aangan star highlighted the fact that children are not playthings that can be molded according to their parents’ liking they’re individuals who deserve the same respect and disciplined response that is expected of them. It is a two-sided relationship that requires effort on both sides but the greater side needs to be the parents, to bring another human being into the world is automatically shouldering the duty to raise them and do right by them.
This includes learning to give them the space and attention that they require to grow healthily.
