Acclaimed playwright Khalil ur Rehman Qamar (Pyaare Afzal, Meray Paas Tum Ho) is all set to make a comedy film on the fallen Indian pilot Abhinandan with Shamoon Abbasi in the lead.
The film titled Abhinandan Come On will release February 27, 2020, the same day on which the Pakistan Air force had shot down MIG-21 of the Indian Airforce. Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was captured by the Pakistani forces in Azad Kashmir.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the border, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi (who played Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his last venture) is producing a film titled Balakot. The film is also based on the same events and is expected to show Abhinandan as a war hero.
Former supermodel Zainab Qayyum, more popularly known as ZQ, took a dig at Samina Peerzada for asking an improper question about her father’s death experience and her show and how she felt about it.
Samina’s show, Rewind with Samina Peerzada is a web tv talk show in which she talks to celebrities about their struggles, journey and the challenges they faced. But more than her guests, Samina ends up being in the limelight for asking inappropriate questions which is why she has been a subject of many hilarious memes.
Responding to one of those memes, ZQ brought up her own experience on the show.
aap kay vaalid ki death hui toh kaisa feel kiya? royee? legit question she asked me on heart to heart with simi garewal oops with samina peerzada #Qasmay
Naimal Khawar, aka Mrs Hamza Ali Abbasi, savagely shut down trolls who criticised her marriage to Hamza Ali Abbasi.
Now that the wedding festivities are done and dusted, Naimal took to Twitter and thanked everyone for the good wishes before going on to say that she “would like to address a few things.”
Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful wishes and prayers for me and hamza as we embark on this new journey in our lives. Now that the wedding is over, I would like to address a few things
In a series of tweet, Naimal said that she is “consenting adult woman capable of making my own decisions,” and that she “left acting 9 months ago” and the decision to do that was entirely her’s.
Apart from this, Naimal also shared a lovely black and white picture of herself and her husband.
After a simple, intimate nikkah, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar hosted a grand reception at a posh hotel in Islamabad.
A plethora of celebrities and political leaders graced the event with their presence. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor, Atif Aslam, Vasay Chaudhry and Ammara Hikmat were among those who attended the event.

Is a shaadi even a shaadi without a selfie to wrap it up?
Later in the night, Hamza Ali Abbasi took to Twitter to thank everyone for the best wishes they had sent his way.
Thankful to Allah for all the love, best wishes & prayers from all of you. Feel truly blessed. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/5HR1ZIK4Pi

Hamza and Naimal had a simple, intimate nikkah the previous day. In case you missed it, here are some pictures from the event. Catch the rest of them here.
Wrapping it up with a gorgeous, happy picture of the couple.
When we ran into Kubra Khan at the 7Up Pakistan Wedding Show (oh the irony), we couldn’t help but ask her what gift she would give to her three couple friends who are (or have already) gotten married.
Kubra shares a close friendship with Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz and has a great working relationship with Hamza Ali Abbasi and Sajal Aly.
Yasir & Iqra
“I would give them a painting because they’re both very creative – so something to do with art.”
Ahad & Sajal
“Something to do with music because Sajal sings really well and Ahad is a really good musician as well.”
Hamza & Naimal
“Hmm I would give them my best wishes.”

While Hamza Ali Abbasi has tied the knot with Naimal Khawar, we are still waiting for the other two celebrity couples – Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly; Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain – to announce when they will be saying their ‘qubool hais’.
Mohsin Abbas Haider, who was only last month accused of domestically abusing and cheating on his wife, is reportedly tying the knot with Nazish Jahangir. Nazish is the same woman with whom Mohsin’s wife, Fatima, had accused of having an affair.
The speculations came to light when a fan page in a social media post referred to Nazish and Mohsin as the “Best couple soon.” Under the picture, Nazish commented, “Soon inshaAllah.”
Mohsin proceeded to like Nazish’s comments fueling rise to speculations that the two may indeed be tying the knot.
In an explosive account posted to social media on July 21, Mohsin’s wife, Fatema Sohail, had come forward with accusations of cheating and domestic abuse against the actor-singer. Fatema alleged that in November 2018, she caught Mohsin cheating on her and when she confronted him, “instead of being embarrassed he started beating” her even though she was pregnant at that time. Luckily her child survived and Fatema said that she moved past the incident for the sake of her child. She continued that her childbirth was a complicated process but Mohsin never supported her and was instead, busy having an affair with an emerging model.
At that time, Nazish had denied all the allegations and said that was being unnecessarily dragged into the couple’s marital issues. She said that the entire episode left her mentally shattered and she has no idea why Fatema dragged into this, especially because she considered Fatema to be a friend and well-wisher.
Mohsin and Fatema tied the knot in 2015. Their son Haider was born earlier this year in May.
After a whirlwind week which began with speculations, followed by Hamza’s lengthy acceptance and then a note on the right way of finding love, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar have said their Qubool hais and are now officially man and wife.
Their nikkah ceremony, which was an intimate affair, took place in Islamabad in the presence of family and some very close friends. Both the bride and groom looked radiant in white outfits and since it was a day time event they made sure to take some sunkissed selfies and pictures.
Naimal opted to wear her mother’s bridal dress and jewellery. Islamabad-based designer Maheen Shah did Naimal’s outfit.
“Naimal wanted to reuse her mother’s bridal and we thought it’ll surely make her look like a timeless bride. Playing with the vintage old world charm we paired it with a gold kamdaani kameez with gota and silma work on the front/back border, sleeves and the neckline. We added another organza dupatta with kamdaani chatta, finished with lace, lappa and taamba lace,” said the designer on the bride’s outfit.
Close friends of the couple which included Gohar Rasheed, Ammara Hikmat, Usman Mukhtar, Bilal Lashari, Umair Jaswal and Atif Aslam graced the event with their presence. Senior PTI leader Senator Faisal Javed Khan and Murad Saeed were also present at the event.

Marvel Studios has finally announced Ms Marvel. The studio’s first Muslim superhero will debut soon on the highly awaited streaming platform Disney+, which will launch internationally on November 12.
As per reports, the studio is developing Ms Marvel with Kamala Khan, the first Muslim-American superhero taking the lead to headline her own solo Marvel project. The project will be helmed by Bisha K. Ali.
In the comics, Kamala Khan is a Muslim, Pakistani American teenager from Jersey City who one day discovers that she has gained superpowers. She takes over the mantle of Ms. Marvel after Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel and works to keep her Jersey neighborhood safe.
Ms. Marvel series will also revolve around the life of the same teenager Kamala Khan who can stretch and change shape. The project is in early development and no timeline or cast has been set.
Pakistan’s IT bachelor Hamza Ali Abbasi is all ready to tie the knot this weekend and everyone has got their popcorns ready because it’s going to be one hell of an event. Even though Hamza in his wedding announcement has said that both the nikkah and the valima will be simple affairs, we all know where a celebrity is getting married and lots of famous people are invited, the event can hardly count as simple. It’s more of a glittering affair than anything else.
Outfits
Hamza’s outfit is a no-brainer. Whether it’s an award function or a casual day out, Hamza is always seen in a plain black shalwar kameez. Hence it is likely that he will stick to his usual attire, on the nikkah at least. Though we think that he might wear a white shalwar kameez on his nikkah instead. For his reception, he might opt for a sherwani – he is occasionally spotted sporting one. Also let’s not forget, Hamza will be bald at his wedding, given that he recently returned fro Hajj, but we’re sure he’ll sport it with confidence. We do hope he wears better shoes though.
Hum Awards 2018
As for Naimal, we’re can’t exactly say which designer she will wear. On her Instagram, she has donned a variety of Islamabad-based designers from Maheen Shah to Zamrud. In her last Instagram post, Naimal was wearing an outfit by Zainab Salman so it’s possible that she might don an outfit by the designer on one of her functions. As for the colour, given her love for beige attires, we think that she might wear an outfit of the same colour on her nikkah.

Guest List
Everyone has been speculating whether PM Khan will be attending or not, but according to the Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Media, the PM will not be attending as he has stopped making social appearances. However, senior members of the PTI leadership might attend the shaadi.
It is expected that the entire cast and makers of The Legend of Maula Jatt – Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Ammara Hikmat, Gohar Rasheed and Bilal Lashari – will be in attendance.
Naimal’s co-stars from Anaa – Hania Aamir, Shehzad Saleem, Usman Mukhtar – are also likely to be attending the event. Hania has also worked with Hamza in Parwaaz Hai Junoon.
Humayun Saeed has said that he will not be able to attend as he is not in the country. Whether Hamza’s fellow actors from Jawani Phir Nai Aani will be attending or not is unclear. They’ve all sent their congratulations though.
Congratulations Hamza and Naimal! Wishing you both a happy married life… May Allah bless you. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend because I am not in the country but dinner’s on me as soon as I am back! Lots of love and prayers… @iamhamzaabbasi@Naimalkhawarrpic.twitter.com/hKtzTXeaxk
A big Mubarak to @iamhamzaabbasi on your Hajj (Allah qabool karay Ameen) and now MashaAllah life partner. ALLAH made us in pair and may he bless this pair always with love and blessings. Naya Pakistan aur Naya khandan Mubarak. #mashallah
Hamza Ali Abbasi’s wedding to actor Naimal Khawar Khan is without a doubt the talk of the town. After the actor penned a long letter in which he explained his reasons for marrying Naimal, he was brutally trolled.
Hamza in his shaadi announcement had written, “Some people get married for themselves because either they fall in love or because their lonely or maybe because of family or to have kids, these are also good reasons, but believe me when your sole reason is to please Allah then Allah makes a man like me, who could never sustain anything emotional with the opposite gender, could never comprehend the idea of marriage in his head, Allah makes that man go up to his very platonic friend of two years Naimal and tell her that he doesn’t want a relationship (that GF/BF nonsense) neither is he claiming to be in love with her but he wants to marry her with the intention of strengthening his very turbulent efforts to walk a path which pleases Allah and to my surprise she agrees not just to marry me but also expresses her joy in walking this path with me & now we can’t even breathe without each other.”
In a follow-up tweet, he further clarified that there was no “love story” between the two and they were “just friends for 2 years and recently Allah put it in my heart to ask her to marry me.”
Grateful for the flood of invites on TV shows to talk abt our “Love Story”, but as disappointing as it sounds thr is none. We were just frnds for 2 yrs & recently Allah put it in my heart to ask her to marry me for reasons i mentioned and she said yes… Thts the entire story https://t.co/lTl2xCVDYi
Following the floods of jokes and memes on Hamza and his platonic friendship, Hamza again took to social media to pen a long thread on what platonic means and the different ways of finding love.
