    Fahad Mustafa donates Rs 2 million for Hindu minor suffering from thalassemia

    Fahad Mustafa has donated Rs 20 lakh for a Hindu minor boy suffering from thalassemia during a live transmission.

    A video recently went viral of a Ramzan live transmission hosted by Waseem Badami and Iqrar-ul-Hasan where JDC Foundation’s Zafar Abbas came along with a Hindu doctor whose minor son was suffering from thalassemia.

    During the show, the father told how he has helped everyone and there were times when he treated without taking fees but when he came to know about his son’s deteriorating health, even most of the charitable organizations backed by stating that the charity is for Muslims only. 

    According to the father, his son has only 15 months left to get proper treatment after that it can get complicated which costs Rs 40 lakh (4 million). He also lamented how there are no basic medical facilities for minorities of Pakistan.

    However, during the live show, actor turned producer and now one of the leading game show hosts Fahad Mustafa called and pledged to donate Rs 20 lakh at the very moment.  The Jawaani Phir Nahi Aani actor also requested others to donate for the kid to meet the required amount.

    When Iqrar asked about the inspiration behind his decision, the actor said: “I don’t know, I don’t usually feel that way. But when I saw him, I had to call. May Allah give him long life and Allah will definitely give long life to this kid.”

    Responding to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ARY Digital Network Jerjees (JJ) Seja, who questioned why the committee needs a prolonged live press conference, Chaudhry said: “JJ bhai. Some people get to be on TV just twice a year and only for 30 minutes each.”

    “Not everyone is as lucky as Badami,” he added cheekily. “So let them have some limelight as well yaar.”

    Later, replying to Vasay’s comments, Seja said: “Then some people should start doing what Waseem Badami does and limelight will automatically be their way.”

    “Till then please footage zaya na karein,” he added.

    Badami, who is currently hosting Shaan-e-Ramzan on ARY Digital, is one of Pakistan’s most renowned television hosts.

    Ayesha Omar gets emotional as she recounts opening up about sexual harassment

    Ayesha Omar, in a recent interview with Waseem Badami, opened up about being sexually harassed at the age of 22 by a powerful person in the industry. The actor has shared her experience of being harassed on several occasions but has never named her perpetrator. However, while recounting the experience on Badami’s Masoomana Sawaal, Ayesha got emotional and started crying on live television.

    During the interview, the actor said that she has never cried while talking about this incident before.

    “Maybe it was your question,” said Ayesha, while explaining why she felt emotional.

    “Nobody said it was easy,” said Ayesha later, in an Instagram post, while referring to the interview.

    “Not sure if I’ve ever cried on live television before,” said the actor. “To be able to let your guard down and be vulnerable…to be able to talk about your painful, difficult experiences from an honest place…to relive and recall traumatic times…to describe your feelings and talk to your younger self…it’s not easy.”

    “It’s not even easy doing it one on one with someone trained to ask the right questions, in private, let alone publicly on live television,” she continued. “But I hope by doing so, I was able to make other humans who have had painful experiences or faced sexual/verbal/physical harassment at any point in their lives, feel a little less alone and a little more hopeful…to try to let go of self-blame and self-deprecation and hold their perpetrators responsible.”

    “I am sorry to the person I was; had I shared it then, I would have been a stronger person today. A lot of other girls also suffered at the hands of the same person. Had I spoken up against him then, maybe he might have stopped.”
