Yashma Gill should add stand up comedy to her skill set, because seriously, we’re in fits since this hilarious revelation.
At the ‘The Talk Talk Show’ the actress narrated that efforts to get married led to a hysterical situation for which her on-set colleagues still mock her to this day. Yashma revealed she had wanted to get married for some time, but because of her hectic work schedule it was difficult for her to find someone she liked, adding that she wasn’t a fan of the proposals her mother was sending her.
All of this, the ‘Bebak’ actress recalled, led her to joining a matrimonial site.
“I joined a matrimonial site, but they couldn’t believe that they were speaking with Yashma Gill,” the actress laughed. “So they requested me to hold a video call to confirm if it was truly me. We talked on video call and they asked me about my preference and everything.”
But then, the actress said the rishta website asked her to pay four lacs for registering on their website, and then fork out another four lacs after she secures the rishta!
“I said no thank you, I’ll find someone on my own”, Yashma chuckled, putting an end to her rishta hunting process.
Actor Usman Mukhtar recently stated in an interview that he would rather think of other career options than disturbing his mother and shift to Karachi for more acting opportunities.
The Sabaat actor appeared on Gloss Etc by Maliha Rehman and talked about his current drama Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, his role and other aspects of the story.
While talking about more work opportunities, the Anaa actor said: “I have lost some projects but for me, my mother comes first before anything else. and she’s unwell so I can’t leave her in Islamabad and come,”
He said, sharing that he has taken up very few projects where he had to travel to Karachi for longer periods of time.
“I would rather consider other career options and move to Karachi for more acting work . It is my duty to be there for her and I don’t think that’s anything inspirational or out of this world. She is the most important person of my life and she needs to be comfortable in the situation she is in.”
The Parchi star has also lost projects due to his reluctance to move to the port city. He is, however, willing to travel for about two-four weeks for projects only when there’s someone to look after his mother in his hometown.
Usman will be seen next in Sinf e Aahan, a collaboration between Six Sigma Plus, Next Level Entertainment, and ISPR. It will air on ARY Digital.
Meanwhile, female stars Mehwish Hayat and Resham cheered the actor for his love of his mother.

Ahsan Khan, who is a pro as far as hosting shows is concerned, is coming back to our TV screens with a new show called Time Out with Ahsan Khan.
Speaking exclusively to The Current, Ahsan shared that his new show is a “weekend celebrity show full of entertainment”.
“The kind of stuff we are doing, the way we have designed the show is very very different from the run of the mill stuff you see on television,” said Ahsan. “It’s nothing like what has been done before in Pakistan. It has a new feel, new set and a few fun games.”
“I think it will be very entertaining and enjoyable,” he added.
When asked how he has not yet gotten bored with hosting, considering he also hosted the hugely popular Bol Nights with Ahsan Khan recently, the actor said: “Bol Nights was 40 minutes long but did not cover the entire lives of my colleagues and celebrities. A lot of them are very interesting and I would like to have them on my show again.”
Giving a sneak peek into the show’s format, Ahsan went onto say that his upcoming show is different from his previous experiences.
“We have introduced a few new games on the show, so we will be playing a lot. This new show also has a very different kind of feel to it which you’ll see when you watch the episodes.”
“At the same time we are considering new people,” shared Ahsan. “We have so many celebrities. I mean if I interviewed around 125 people [for Bol Nights], we still have another 500 to go.”
“I think there is still so much left to explore,” stated Ahsan. “So many of my colleagues have new things and projects happening in their lives which I would love to talk to them about.”
Khan went onto say that he also plans to invite people from different walks of life on his show including sportspersons and other high achievers.

Pakistan former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has opened up about his spiritual side. While the cricketer, also referred to as the Rawalpindi Express is known for his aggression and hard talk, in an interview insisted on revealing another side of himself.
In the recent interview with Mira Sethi, Shoaib said, “In my life I have been taking lessons from Islamic scholars. I have read Islamic books for knowledge.”
“Then the fantasy of life started again. From the age of 16 till 36, I left everything and lived my life. I saw the world,” he continued.
He further said: “I’m not a scholar, but I’m very close to my religion. Our religion gives us freedom and advises us to give freedom to others too. Our forefathers were brilliant personalities as they were very close to our religion. I have even visited Karbala and it was a great experience.”
Talking about women and their choice of clothing, he said, “If you can’t help women at least give them space. Whatever they wear, it is between them and their Allah. Who are you to say anything? [Tum mamay lagtay ho? Saray thanaydar ban kay aa jatay ho].”
Talking about his wife, he said that she does the niqab and that it is her own decision.
