  • Yasir Hussain’s family dynamics changed after his parents passed away

    Yasir Hussain’s family dynamics changed after his parents passed away

    Family dynamics can change a lot after losing loved ones, and Yasir Hussain is no exception to the rule.

    The actor has recently talked about the passing of his parents reshaping his perspective on relationships and responsibilities.

    Appearing as a guest on Meri Maa, hosted by Noor Ul Hassan, Yasir opened up about the lasting impact of his parents on his life.

    The host asked, “Why do we have so much bitterness towards our loved ones here?”

    Yasir replied, “I don’t know, but I feel that in our environment, the kind of atmosphere we have, there are many financial struggles and issues. The majority of people are dealing with financial problems. So, as you grow up, your primary concern isn’t about loving your people; it becomes about taking care of them, providing for them. When you enter that mindset of being a provider, you naturally become a bit stricter and more burdened, and that affection can decrease.”

    Hussain fondly recalls his father’s approach to parenting, emphasizing a warmth that was always present, saying, “He was the kind of father who would hug and kiss you in the morning, showing love, because he wasn’t caught up in those issues. I believe the relationship he had was unparalleled, he understood that nobody ever starved. That was a remarkable thing.”

    The host again asked, “You once mentioned that your mother gave you some advice that included traveling the world. Could you share what her guidance was for you?”

    The Taxali Gate actor said, “Yes, my mother told me to get married, but first, travel the world. I didn’t quite understand what she meant by that. She told me to explore before settling down, and then she left for Rawalpindi. Eventually, I realized that traveling the world was crucial, especially since my education wasn’t extensive. I had tried to complete my degree but didn’t succeed. My mother knew that I was earning and working, so she understood that I might not continue my studies. People often say that traveling broadens your exposure, and I found that to be true. Traveling has greatly helped me in writing, acting, and directing. It’s not just about reading books; it’s about meeting people and experiencing life.”

    “My mother had a unique way of treating all the children equally, ensuring balance among us. Parents have a special understanding of these dynamics, which is why, after their passing, the first feeling is that the bond they created has shattered. They maintained a certain attitude and exchange of love that kept everyone united. When they are gone, and the harmony is lost, you realize how important that connection was.”

  • Yasir Hussain clears the air; Called for legalising theatre dances, not pornography

    Yasir Hussain clears the air; Called for legalising theatre dances, not pornography

    Renowned actor Yasir Hussain has addressed rumors claiming he called for the legalization of pornography, clarifying that he only advocated for the legalization of theatre dances in Lahore to boost government revenue.

    Previously, social media and news outlets alleged that Hussain supported the legalization of pornography after he mentioned “adult entertainment should be legalized” during Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast.

    In a recent interview on Faysal Qureshi’s podcast ‘Pressure Buhat Hey,’ Yasir explained, “The dances in Lahore theatres are considered ‘adult entertainment’ because children do not attend them.”

    Hussain suggested that the government could generate income if these performances, which he said require expensive licenses globally, were legal. He proposed that instead of the standard Rs1,000 ticket price for regular theatre shows, these performances should charge Rs4,000, with the extra amount going to the government.

    “So much revenue could be generated if it were legal. Currently, these shows happen daily, but illegally. If they were legal, the only change would be that the government benefits financially,” he said.

    Hussain pointed out that the government often raids theatres, collects money, and shuts them down, only for the shows to restart days later. He emphasized that this system brings no benefit to the government.

    He further added, “If we were truly pure, Pakistan wouldn’t be ranking first or second in porn consumption. We are involved in this, so why not legalize these dances?”

    He also urged the censor board to assign age ratings to films, a practice used worldwide, to allow the Pakistani film industry to grow. He said that if a movie was restricted to a certain age group, only the producer would face a partial loss, but the film shouldn’t be banned entirely for adults.

    He added that banning content on YouTube was pointless since it could be uploaded on other platforms. He also suggested that PEMRA should impose stricter regulations on television content, as children can easily access inappropriate material with a remote.

    Hussain criticized a recent scene in a TV show where twin sisters accidentally switch husbands, calling it inappropriate and not humorous. He argued that content deemed suitable for films should not be allowed on television, while the same content is being restricted in cinemas.

  • Lahore ki university mai jeans banned? Yasir Hussain has something to say

    Lahore ki university mai jeans banned? Yasir Hussain has something to say

    Famous actor Yasir Hussain responded to the news of the ban on wearing jeans for girls at Government College University Lahore (GCU) with a poetic line, quoting Ali Zaryoun: “Kis ny jeans kari mamnu, pehno achi lagti ho!”

    His comment subtly points at the importance of personal choice in attire.

    GCU Lahore recently introduced a new dress code prohibiting female students from wearing jeans and T-shirts on campus. Male students are required to wear dress shirts and pants, while all intermediate students must adhere to a uniform policy.

    The university administration has stated that students who do not follow the dress code will face fines. While this move is intended to balance cultural and religious values with a professional academic environment, some students have opposed the regulations, arguing that such bans are unusual in universities.

    Legalize porn in Pakistan to benefit the economy: Yasir Hussain

    Actor Yasir Hussain shared his thoughts on the topic of adult entertainment in Pakistan. During a discussion on the podcast, ‘Excuse Me with Ahmad Ali Butt’Yasir Hussain was asked, “Should there be adult entertainment in Pakistan?”

    Yasir replied “There’s no need to promote adult entertainment. Those who want it will find it anyway. Pakistan ranks among the top countries for watching porn, often competing with Saudi Arabia for the top spot. It’s shameful, but true. Large surveys don’t lie, this is happening. So, why not legalise it and let the government and people make money from it? He firmly stated, “I don’t want to be a part of it, I don’t want to watch or promote adult content.”

    While talking about content, which Yasir likes to watch, he said, “I want to watch Punjab’s juggat (a form of comedy), I want to watch Amanullah, Sohail Ahmed, Iftikhar Thakur, Honey Albela, and Sahawat Naz’s content.”

    Yasir Hussain has worked in dramas like Badshah Begum, Baandi, and Baaghi. He also worked in films like Karachi Say Lahore, Taxali, and Rabbit.

    Veteran actor Aurangzeb Laghari, who received the Pride of Performance award for contributing to Pakistan’s entertainment industry, revealed in a recent interview that he had to change careers because of the severe lack of acting opportunities. Multiple news outlets reported that Laghari has opened a furniture showroom in Lahore.

    In response to this news, Actor Yasir Hussain, took to social media to highlight the diminishing opportunities for drama actors who do not live in Karachi.

    The ‘Karachi Se Lahore’ actor shared his disappointment on Instagram. He reposted the news and wrote, “All the dramas are made in Karachi, and they don’t invite anyone from Lahore to join. PTV used to give work to people from all cities, but now they don’t.” He also criticised the channel for not producing good-quality dramas. “PTV hasn’t made a good drama in the last 20 years. It’s such a shame. Where are shows like ‘Tanhaiyaan,’ ‘Dhuwan,’ ‘Aangan Terha,’ ‘Waris,’ ‘Angar Wadi,’ and ‘Guest House’?”

    In the same interview where Aurangzeb Laghari revealed his new career, he also confirmed that he hasn’t found acting work because the industry has moved to Karachi. “All the main offices for channels are in Karachi. There is little work in Lahore, so I work very little,” said the actor. He added, “I feel like Punjabis aren’t given the same encouragement because we aren’t in the same city.”

    ‘Not happening now, just relax’; Yasir Hussain ends pregnancy rumors

    With all the talk online about celebrities, Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz became the center of rumors with speculation about them expecting another baby. It got really crazy on social media, especially after Yasir said something intriguing on a show with Nadia Khan.
    In the interview, when asked about having another child, Yasir replied, “Second baby Insha Allah jald karenge hum”. Some fans thought this meant they were announcing a pregnancy.
    But Yasir was quick to clarify what he meant.

    He said, “Not happening now, just relax.” So, take a chill pill guys! “It’ll happen when it’ll happen.”
    The clarification came because there were lots of rumors going around. Even though Yasir talked about having another baby on the show, he made it clear they didn’t have specific plans yet. He just said ‘soon,’ not that they’re expecting a baby right now.

    Yasir’s response to the situation shows how important it is to communicate clearly to stop false rumors. It also reminds media to be careful before sharing news that isn’t confirmed. Wrong information can really hurt celebrities’ lives and work.
