    Is Minal Khan coming back to TV?

     

    Fans of actress Minal Khan are eager to know if she will return to television.

     

    Appearing as a guest on ‘What Momsense with Zara Noor Abbas’, the actress has shared her thoughts on a possible return to television screens.

     

    “I ask myself this question every morning, and I tell myself, ‘Yes’, because I am manifesting it for myself. If I don’t think about it, it won’t happen. But I feel my baby is still young and needs her mother. But I do miss television,” she said in response to a question about her potential return.

     

    The Jalan star also spoke about an actress she admired.

     

    “I like Hania Aamir a lot. She is beautiful and talented. I really appreciate how she has transformed herself. I feel like she has accepted everything about herself. She knows who she is. I believe that’s what makes a woman strong. You don’t need to explain to anyone who you are when you already know it yourself,” Minal said.

     

    After giving one hit drama serial after another, Minal took a break from TV serials when she tied the knot with Ahsan Mohsin Ikram on September 10, 2021.

     

    She starred in dramas such as Kaash Main Teri Beti  Na Hoti, Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah, Mann Ke Moti, Adhoori Aurat, Mere Meherban, Mol, Joru Ka Ghulam, Hum Sab Ajeeb Se Hain, Nand and Ishq Hai.

    Earlier, in a podcast with with Amana Isani Haider’s, actress Minal Khan shared the challenges she faced and how her sister, Aiman Khan, stood by her side.


    “After I conceived, my sister was the first person I told. She was already three months pregnant, and she was so happy for me. She told me, ‘Now you don’t need to think about anything, Minal. I’m here. It’s not difficult; I know you’ll be scared, but I’ll take you along with me on this journey.’ Thanks to her support, I didn’t feel left out,” she said.


    Reflecting on her postpartum experiences, the Nand actress revealed the difficulties she faced after giving birth.


    “After pregnancy, Alhamdulillah, it went smoothly, but postpartum was very difficult. I got sick right after delivery with a severe infection. I had high fever, one night reaching 106 degrees, and my sister, husband and mother were just standing there, praying. In that moment I realized how vulnerable I was… I couldn’t even take a minute off because I was a mother now,” Minal added.

     

  • ‘They show wives hitting husbands, leaving homes,’ Rabi Pirzada blames TV dramas for rising divorce rates

    ‘They show wives hitting husbands, leaving homes,’ Rabi Pirzada blames TV dramas for rising divorce rates

    Renowned former singer Rabi Pirzada, who left showbiz to pursue a religious path, has voiced her concerns about the rising divorce rates in the country, attributing it in part to the negative portrayal of marital relationships in today’s dramas.

    During a recent podcast with Hafiz Ahmed, she criticised how the shows often depict wives disrespecting and mistreating their husbands, which she believes influences societal attitudes.

    Further, she was also asked about the increasing number of divorces in society, to which the video of Rabi Pirzada’s answer went viral.

    She said, “On the one hand, there are women who their husbands oppress, their children are taken away from them, and then they get married again. On the other hand, something else is being shown in the dramas.”

    “Wives are being portrayed as women with narcissistic tendencies, and their husbands are seen trying to please them,” she added.

    According to her, the women and wives are portrayed as very mean. Their husbands are shown to be rich and good-looking, but they still appear weak in front of their wives.

    Pirzada said, “In dramas, the rich and good-looking husband is trying to please his wife, but the wife does not agree with him and shows her anger.”

    “The wife shown in dramas sometimes spits on her husband, sometimes slaps him, and sometimes leaves the house, which is a very wrong portrayal,” she added.

    Pirzada believes that it has become fashionable for the wife to show contempt for her husband, not accept him, and ignore him in dramas.

    “I do not remember the names of the plays, but most of the plays are being made on similar themes, and the listeners will agree with me,” she said.

    “There is no reason to show such characters and scenes… they will affect every woman’s mind,” Pirzada asserted.
