  • Bushra Ansari wears shawl with urdu poetry on it

    Bushra Ansari wears shawl with urdu poetry on it

    Veteran actor Bushra Ansari caught attention on social media when she shared a photo of herself wearing a shawl with Allama Iqbal’s poetry written on it. She was getting ready for a Ramazan TV show.
    In her post, Ansari cleverly joked about the poetry on her shawl, saying, “If you can read Urdu, you’ll understand.”
    The choice of attire and her witty comment was in retort to the recent incident at Lahore’s Ichra Bazaar where a woman wearing a shirt with Arabic writing, was harassed by a fanatical mob.

    Thanks to quick action from the police, led by Assistant Superintendent Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi, the woman remained safe.
    Ansari’s comment is a reminder about violence and ignorance. While some might see her shawl gesture as bold, she’s known for her funny jokes and straight talk.

  • Was Ali Safina mocking Wahaj’s famous shawl scene?

    Was Ali Safina mocking Wahaj’s famous shawl scene?

    People worldwide went wild for Murtasim, the swoon-worthy role immortalised by Wahaj Ali in Tere Bin, and his iconic shawl. Regardless of what shenanigans were going on, the shawl always remained perfectly in place, capturing fans’ hearts. Wahaj Ali’s performance added to the shawl’s allure, making it a sensation, and people couldn’t get enough of it.

    Actor Ali Safina recently donned a shawl in a play, leading to accusations of him mocking Wahaj.

    Ali Safina played the comic role of ‘AK’ in the comedy drama ‘Fairy Tale in Ramadan’, in which he performed comedy while wearing a shawl.

    In an interview, Safina clarified, “I did not make fun of anyone, a comedian makes his own jokes. The drama was shot in the cold nights of December and I was feeling cold.” He said that he asked his female co-star to bring him a shawl or something and he just wanted to put a comedic spin on the drama. At the time he had envisioned Batman as his inspiration when he walked away with a flying shawl but it later became Murtasim’s signature move.
