Fresh off the success of her new song Te Quiero with Haadi Uppal, Aima Baig, in a recent social media, commented that in the last three to four years of her career the one thing she learned is that the “most difficult thing to pull off in this industry is to satisfy our society. According to how they want us to look like or what they want us to wear, what they want us to sing or what they want us to say.”
Pretty sure, all female actors will be agreeing with Aima on this.
“Whereas I thought it is a free country, where men and women both have been given the right to follow their heart and live their own life,” she added.
Aima then went to recall when she started her career as part of Mazaaq Raat’s team, before adding how blessed she feels to have achieved the success she has.
We knew Bilal Maqsood is a multi-talented artist, but we had no idea that he is ambidextrous as well. Ambidexterity is the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well.
The singer showed off artistic skills by drawing a couple in lockdown using both his hands at the same time, the video of which is truly mesmerizing.

Ayyan Ali was arrested at Islamabad airport on March 14, 2015 for travelling with $500,000 and later, a currency smuggling case was filed against her for allegedly trying to smuggle money to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Meanwhile, in November 2018, Ayyan had promised to return with a bang and had shared an update regarding her ongoing cases.
Following the drama of a leaked video, Rabi Pirzada on Thursday released a video statement asserted that she has bid goodbye to the entertainment industry in order to focus on her religious obligations.
According to Geo News, the singer in a video statement apologised to her fans for her past behaviour and shared details of her new spiritual journey. The video is reportedly her first appearance since an explicit video of her went viral on social media a few weeks ago.
Clad in a black dress and a headscarf, Rabi said, “My mistakes are between myself and my Creator, the One who knows what is in the hearts of the people. He is the All-Forgiving and the Most Merciful.”
Throughout the video, released privately to the media, Pirzada quoted religious texts extensively and shared that she had found her true calling in religion.
“I realised that even after I run away from the world, I cannot run away from my Lord. That is when I realised that whenever a woman is dragged into the public debate, so many things go wrong,” Rabi said.
Talking about her leaked video, Pirzada revealed that soon after the video went viral, she was approached for films, television commercials, concerts and other private events. She detailed how people had ridiculed her and accused her of seeking cheap popularity.
“Some said it was a punishment for speaking against Modi or PM Imran,” Rabi said while crying. The singer broke into sobs more than once during the video.
At the same time, “a lot of women also offered to support and protect me, assuring me that no one would be able to raise a finger against me. These included those affiliated with #MeToo and #MeraJismMeriMarzi.”
Rabi also warned those who were sharing the leaked video saying that they would be apprehended.
“I think I have been given a new life, and the meaning of my life is now only religion,” she concluded.
