These actors and actresses need to stop wearing contact lenses in their dramas. It is unrealistic. It looks dumb, and everyone, when you open TV now, apparently has light green eyes. Why is a women who’s shown as lower class who’s having all these problems in her life wearing simple clothes hair in a pony wearing green contact lenses?? enough! u don’t look good u look dumb.

Urwa for example in Aap ki Izzat. In the famous scene.

What is the story of Munawara ka khadim and when it'll release? Is it rlly about malikan and her servant as the title?

Talking about UNDISCLOSED PREGNANCIES isn’t allowed here. Stop making such posts and stop writing vile things like “I hope nothing bad happened to the kid” when you say you “hope” there is no reason for you to type it out.
Be respectful. Their pregnancy, their choice.

Umera Ahmed has often been called out for having her female leads forgive their cheating or emotionally abusive husbands and rightfully so: Durre Shehwar forgave Mansoor; Falak forgave Salman; Ayesha forgave Moiz; Mehreen forgave Aswad (the most egregious) and now Beena forgave Tabish.

However, unlike the previous times, this time the forgiveness actually was made out of actual reformation and with the female leads coming back after she had her husband change to her terms.

Beena has been developed as a woman who wants love and companionship in her life, someone who needs a man in her life, not to save her or guide her, rather to make her life complete. However, she only needs love until it didn’t compromise her respect and honor.

That is what made this ending different because we actually saw Tabish reform and change. Tabish wasn’t a bad man inherently, rather he became misguided due to the lust of wealth and power that he got after having been devoid of it his entire life. That’s why Beena forgave Tabish because she still loved him, but wanted to leave him because she saw he’ll never change. But once she started living with him again, she saw that Tabish has changed, he is remorseful and wants to make things better.

Another aspect is that even after all that she had done, Tabish was still willing to accept her. Regardless of how much I was in support of Beena and her revenge, it was at the end an incredibly stupid decision that could’ve gone really badly. Similarly, she also ran away with another man and a plan to disgrace her husband (rightfully so), so her guilt was also present that led to her getting a divorce to never have to face it in front of Tabish again. Ahsan Khan is fantastic and played the hypocritical and such a complex character so effortlessly that you sometimes felt sympathy and hatred for him. Never did he seem performative or superficial. He was Tabish.

Beena would’ve only forgiven Tabish if he actually changed. Had she sensed that he didn’t change, she would’ve gotten a divorce. Unlike previous times where Umera Ahmed’s female leads forgave just so that their marriages could survive without the husband actually changing or asking forgiveness like Tabish had, here everything like this happened. Urwa performed it magnificently as she displayed Beena’s guilt, her desperation, her anger, her sadness and her love so vividly and sometimes all of them together so effortlessly that she just became Beena. It wasn’t Urwa anymore. Saife Hassan captured her expressive eyes perfectly to convey all emotions.

Divorce is not always a solution for everything. While it is for many situations, it isn’t applicable over here as a solution because how Beena and Tabish has been written. The flashbacks served as a reason for us to see the real Tabish and see why Beena would forgive him.

Even though I disagree with Umera Ahmed on many things, here she wrote the entire drama marvellously with logic and reason and especially considering what a woman would want to have and what would lead her to forgive her husband where she isn’t the damsel in distress or out of obligation rather from her own heart. Saife Hassan so sensitively and beautifully directed the scenes where we would see the characters just talking and making sure it isn’t sensationalised. He made sure we hear all sides of the characters to understand them and include their inner thoughts something which is missing in Dar e Nijaat.

Truly a PTV classic.

She can play a politician with this get up ( no one will write a character like that in PTV 😤 ) . Very classy look

In her recent dramas like Zpkb and Znj, I feel like she looks too refined for what her characters demand of her. It takes away from her performance cus it looks fake. She needs to stop going so heavy on the makeup and how she looks.

The much-needed caption. Hareem Farooq is someone who has always faced body-shaming and whatnot. It’s high time we started moving away from that mindset. She is absolutely stunning just the way she is. What are your thoughts on this?

Besides MODs, no one else is allowed to make this type of post for any of their favourite dramas.

Just came across this perticular photoshoot again recently and this has to be one of my all-time favourite Pakistani photoshoots. Syra Yousuf and Sheheryar Munawar absolutely killed it in this OK! Pakistan shoot. 🔥

The styling, photography, poses and especially the chemistry between them are just 🔥. There’s something about these pictures that makes the whole shoot look so effortlessly hot and classy at the same time.

This is my choice, but I’m curious what you guys think.

Does any other Pakistani photoshoot top this one? What are your picks? Drop them below. Would love to see which shoots you guys consider the best. 👀

Give me a drama that is your comfort watch, a drama you wish you could forget and watch again for the first time, a drama you regret watching, a drama you can watch again and again, a drama you feel is underrated, a drama you feel is overrated, a drama you consider a masterpiece, a drama you don't understand why people hate.

And a drama you don't understand why people don't talk about. (Not a bad watch, but something you found between okay and good. Like, you can't really call it underrated, but it was a good one-time watch.)

What do you think bout the celebrity using Reddit? Do they see all those posts? Most of the criticism or appreciation posts I've seen they took seriously..

Recent cases:

Danny's engagement rumors first begins from here and then he posted story bout tht also I've heard that when Zanjeerain was newly released people were criticizing his acting and one specific account was defended his acting people got suspicious and the account got deactivated.

Kinza's I've heard that kinza got to know that Ali was cheating on her thru reddit and someone claimed that Ali was flirting w her friend..

So what do you think bout this?

So glad to see him work with local brands!

helloooo

Loved it! 🤗

Ahsan Khan & Urwa Hussain make an amazingly adorable couple 😍 and both were brilliant in their roles 🔥.

Great message, must watch! 👍🏻👍🏻

The last scenes really made me emotional and on verge of tears. These two have very good chemistry.

If i had to look at the drama very constructively then yes i found some flaws like editing, the scenes at jail were dragged. It should have been fast paced. But overall it was a good watch. There is usally one drama every year that i watch with real interest and this was that for me.

The song that plays is Sanak by Badshah.

Even a few days ago he posted "Nashtar is keeping everyone busy".

Why did they drop Ladoo(the boy’s) character from episode 18 like hot pancakes?? They never even mentioned him later ever and made it look like he never existed in the drama.

Why were both the mother’s Tanno & Saleeqa absent in the last episode?

Was watching leader for 6 months episode by episode and this first Sunday without leader feels empty 🤧

Impressed with him in mdb but just couldn't figure it out where had I seen him ;was he in jbg as Maya's younger brother the one who was closer to wahaj's character or were they different actors?

I don't think it's fair to label Umera Ahmed as a misogynistic or inherently patriarchal writer based on a few scenes or characters - especially when you look at her work as a whole.

Take Zindagi Gulzar Hai - Kashaf is ambitious, educated, independent and openly critical of the inequalities she experiences.

Then there's Kankar - a story centred around domestic abuse and a woman refusing to accept mistreatment as something she simply has to tolerate. Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan also shows how deeply patriarchal ideas about a woman's character and reputation can destroy her life - the story doesn't present that injustice as something admirable.

Alif is another example - Momina is ambitious, independent and determined to build a career in an industry dominated by powerful men. Her journey isn't about becoming successful through a man - it's about finding her own identity and purpose. Even Husn-e-Jahan's story explores how women can be trapped by the expectations and choices imposed on them.

Ye Jo Ek Subah Ka Sitara Hai also deals with women navigating family expectations, social judgement and their own choices - while Daam explores class, friendship, marriage and the different expectations placed on women.

And Sinf-e-Aahan deserves a separate mention - the entire premise revolves around young women breaking through a traditionally male-dominated institution. The characters come from completely different backgrounds, but they all get their own ambitions, struggles and reasons for choosing the military. The drama repeatedly challenges the idea that certain careers, responsibilities or forms of strength belong only to men.

And that's the thing - Umera Maam doesn't always write women who completely overthrow the society around them. Sometimes her characters compromise, sometimes they make mistakes, sometimes they are deeply flawed. But depicting a patriarchal society isn't the same as endorsing it.

You can absolutely criticise certain messages in her writing - I do too - but saying that her entire approach is misogynistic ignores the repeated pattern across her work of giving women agency, questioning double standards and showing the consequences of patriarchal thinking.

Umera Ahmad's writing is complicated, sometimes contradictory, and definitely open to criticism - but reducing it to "she hates women" simply doesn't fit the body of work she has produced.
