  • ‘Every frame is a painting’; Heeramandi captivates audiences

    ‘Every frame is a painting’; Heeramandi captivates audiences

    Netflix’s new series, ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,’ is now available on the streaming service. It’s created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and it’s all about the world of courtesans. People have had lots to say about it.

    Some love the amazing acting and catchy music, while others have questions about how the show was put together.

    One person shared their thoughts on social media about the show, praising the acting, saying, “Heeramandi has to be congratulated for its pitch-perfect acting by Richa Chadha and the actor playing Ustad Ji. Manisha Koirala as a flawed madam was outstanding. I liked Sonakshi too. Songs were superb.” However, they also felt that the director went a bit too far with the grandeur, saying, “Just wish the director had not overindulged and got carried away by his reputation for grandeur. There’s a thing as ‘give me excess of it so the appetite may sicken and so die.”

    For some people, the series really connected with them because it showed how women faced challenges throughout history. One person said, “People who aren’t familiar with Heeramandi: ‘This is such a powerful story showing the real struggles of Indian women.’” But for others, they were drawn to it more for its beauty. One viewer jokingly said, “When I watch Heeramandi: ‘I want those clothes, that jewelry, and definitely those ghagras”.

    Another user said, “Bhansali made something amazing! Really impressive art, dance, acting, and dialogue. It’s such a delight to see another fantastic movie from the legendary Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”

    Despite all the praise, some people had different opinions. One viewer thought Manisha Koirala did a great job, but they didn’t feel the show was as good overall. They said, “Manisha Koirala was amazing in Heeramandi. But the show itself didn’t impress me much.”

    It’s not just the acting that got people talking. Some moments of deep emotion also stood out. One viewer vividly described a scene with Alamzeb and Tajdar: “Alamzeb writing poetry in her diary, and Tajdar softly guiding her hand towards his chest to use it as a flat surface, I am speechless.”

    And of course, the music got a lot of love too. One viewer was amazed by the teamwork of Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali: “The combination of Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali in ‘Chaudhavi Shab’ is pure magic. Every scene looks like a beautiful painting. The visuals are just extraordinary.”

    People really admire Bhansali’s talent. One person said, “No one does it like him.” Another praised Sonakshi, saying, “She was amazing in just one scene of the first episode.”

    ‘Girls are not display items’, Maya Khan on rishta rejections

    A video of actress and TV host Maya Khan talking about how people search for girls for marriage is making rounds on social media and it seems like a lot of people agree with her.

    In the video that got a lot of attention, she talks about how people visit a girl’s house to consider marriage, but they end up not marrying her

    The actress said, “After seeing the girl, the people who come ask the girl’s parents for a few days and then say on the phone that their istikhara is not correct, they cannot have a relationship. In the same way, the girl’s parents get a call from someone else to come to see the girl and then the family asks the girl to stay at home or leave the office early.”

    Maya Khan stated, “The people who come for the second time also do the same, see the girl, leave after drinking tea and water and ask for an answer after a few days.”
    She added, “Calls for girls to see relationships are coming again and again and every time the girls are decorated and dressed like a ready-made item in a showroom.”

    The actress’s video discussing Pakistani culture regarding girls’ relationships became really popular. Users commented on it and agreed with her. They said that some people pretend to pray for guidance (istikhara) when they don’t really intend to marry the girl.

    Supermodel Bella Hadid is stepping back from her glamorous career and starting afresh in Texas with her partner, Adan Banuelo.
    “After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love into something that, in the long run, wasn’t necessarily giving back to me,” Hadid told Allure magazine, as reported by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’.

    She explained that her life in Texas is different now, with a strong group of friends. She said that she enjoys her time with them without feeling the need to overdo it when getting ready for a night out.

    “For the first time now, I’m not putting on a fake face. If I don’t feel good, I won’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself… And I’ve never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,” she said.

    Hadid emphasized that when people see her in pictures and say she looks happy, she genuinely is. “I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days,” she added.

    Over the past year, Hadid has been quietly working on her mental and physical health. She has opened up about her battle with Lyme disease on social media and has shared that she is “finally healthy.”

    Sidhu Moosewala murder suspect Goldy Brar alive and free, US authorities verify

    Goldy Brar, the main suspect in the killing of Indian rapper Sidhu Moosewala was falsely reported dead in a shooting in the US. The Fresno Police in California has clarified that the man killed in the firing incident wasn’t Brar.Sidhu Moose Wala – renowned for fusing modern hip-hop and classic Punjabi music – was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in May last year in Mansa, Punjab.

    “At first, it was said that Brar got shot while he was outside a house with a friend. But Fresno Police said it wasn’t true,” Lieutenant William J. Dooley of the Fresno Police Department stated.

    “The confusion came from wrong information on social media and news sites,” Lieutenant Dooley explained. “The person who got shot was actually Satinderjeet Brar, a gangster from Canada with ties to Bollywood and Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang.”

    Satinderjeet Brar, wanted for crimes in Canada, was called a terrorist by India’s Ministry of Home Affairs. He once threatened Bollywood star Salman Khan in a TV interview in 2023.

    During the interview, Brar also admitted to killing Sidhu Moosewala, saying, “Sidhu Moosewala was an egoistic person. He misused his political and money power. It was necessary to teach him a lesson, and he was taught one.” Brar added, “Bhai Sahab (referring to Lawrence Bishnoi) had stated that he wouldn’t apologize. Baba will show mercy only when he feels merciful.” He also asserted that they have more targets, and they won’t stop until they achieve their goal.

    Miftah Ismail cries while remembering treatment meted out to his family by PTI govt

    Miftah Ismail, former finance minister of Pakistan, got emotional during a talk show on Dawn News when journalist Wasatullah Khan asked him about his feelings after the recent “clean chit” he got from the court in the LNG case.

    Miftah remarked, “Today should have been a happy day but it was a bitter day for me because of memories.”

    Miftah broke down then, getting teary-eyed while saying, “They raided my home and breached my wife’s privacy by opening her closets.”

    “I remember this and I will take Imran Khan to the court,” said Miftah.

    He stated that an inquiry had already been conducted in Sindh in which he was exonerated and even though all the departments were based in Sindh but they opened a new inquiry on Sheikh Rashid’s request in Islamabad.

    He further said, “I will take Irfan Mangi to court who was the DG NAB in Islamabad, Javed Iqbal (DG NAB) and Imran Khan to court.”
