Moosa Gets to Know Who Actually Zohra Is – Raqs E Bismil Episode 3 Review

This episode was full of surprises and drama. Moosa (Imran Ashraf) is still deeply and madly in love with Zohra even though he has not seen a single glimpse of her yet, without veil. All he knows is that Zohra is a pious lady who observes hijab, and this is exactly the kind of woman he would want to marry.

Contrary to his own belief and sayings, Moosa is in love but he is not willing to accept it. He was seen convincing Zohra (Sarah Khan) to marry her throughout the episode. He seemed like a naive person with a soft corner for people, which is not the real Moosa we saw in the previous episodes.

Zohra on the other hand, appreciated whatever Moosa did for her. However, she prefers showing her true self to Moosa instead of just telling him. No wonder Moosa was surprised to the core when he got to know that Zohra is not someone he has perceived to be. She belonged to a family of entertainers and was part of a high-end party when Moosa spotted her.

Esa and Sakina are still trying to figure out things. Sakina proves herself to be more stubborn while Esa is being patient, but he gives Sakina a reality check for sure. Esa also tells her that he is bearing all this because of her parents, who he respects a lot. But the truth is that he also loves Sakina. Momin provokes Sakina and asks her to see who is “Beghairat”; himself or her ex. Seems like this will intrigue Sakina to search for her ex and somehow, she will end up falling in love with Esa.

What Is Coming Next?

So far, Raqs e Bismil has portrayed an interesting plot with strong characters. This is an unconventional story with ups and downs.

The teaser shows that in the next episode, Moosa’s father will get to know about Zohra. This will make it further difficult for Moosa as he will not be able to control his feelings for Zohra. Let us see what else happens next!

“First Off: Intimacy Is Not Just Sex” – Osman Khalid Butt Replies to a Troll

Pakistan is heading towards a change, at least it seems so, and media is playing a major role in changing the mindsets of people. Thanks to our celebrity influencers who know how much their voices matter and are raising theirs to make a difference.

One of those celebrities is Zahid Ahmed who recently highlighted the dual standards of our society in an interview and said that “It is strange that we are allowed to slap women on TV but cannot show intimacy”.

Zahid’s statement has stirred a new controversy and people are now discussing this matter on social media. Celebrities have also come forward and defended his statement.

One of the celebrities who agree with Zahid is Osman Khalid Butt. Butt posted an Instagram story and wrote, “Strange Indeed”.

One of the users replied to Osman Khalid Butt’s story and said that this is “Just a pathetic excuse to get physical with female actors”.

The social media user also said, “Not to mention the influence it has on society and especially young children and young teens.”

Butt definitely did not agree with this definition of intimacy and decided to school the user. He commented, “Yeah, so reactions like this are wholly predictable,” he further said, “First off: intimacy is not just sex. Secondly, I’d rather my child see a healthy intimate relationship between fictional spouses than, you know, PHYSICAL ABUSE being normalized.” he added in the end, “The nerve to talk about ‘influence’.”

Osman Khalid Butt is very vocal about issues that require attention. Be it showing support for the “Me Too” movement or raising awareness about rape or abuse against women, Butt is always one of the few to raise is voice for the cause.

Time to Say Good Bye to Winter Blues with These Activities

Short days and long winter nights feel so draining. All you want is to stay in your cosy bed and binge watch your favourite shows. However, this is not possible in reality. You have to get up and participate in the real life.

Here are some easy activities that can make your life better and you can patiently wait for spring without feeling gloomy. Always remember: a drop in temperature should not affect your mood or routine

Go for a Sunny Vacation

Take out some time and head for a vacation to any area where exposure of the sun is more. This can be a weekend getaway or a long vacation until the weather changes. Doing so will definitely lift up your mood and you will feel much better.

Make Complex Carbohydrates Part of Your Diet

Carbohydrates in refined form can be a quick fix to feel better. However, in the long run, they make you feel sluggish, and guilty too. A good idea is to consume complex carbohydrates like spinach, lentil and broccoli. They are filling, take time to digest and do not increase your glycaemic index immediately.

Limit Sugar Intake

Though sugar intake can make you happy for a while, it will end up making you feel worse than you were in the first place. Even bad is the fact that too much of it can directly affect the functionality of your brain.

Exercise

When it comes to fighting blues and changing moods, nothing is better than exercise. Even if you can go for a 15-minute walk, that will do the job and you will return feeling better and full of energy.

Mehwish Hayat Turns 33 and Thanks Her Fans for the Heartfelt Wishes

Mehwish Hayat Turns 33 and Thanks Her Fans for the Heartfelt Wishes

The Punjab Nahi Jaongi famed actress celebrated her birthday on Wednesday with her close friends and family members. Mehwish Hayat is one of the finest actresses we have in Pakistan who has also represented us internationally on several occasions.

Be it dramas or movies, Hayat surprises her audience with her amazing acting skills. This is the reason she has been awarded Tamgha e Imtiaz by the government of Pakistan.

Those who celebrated the 33rd birthday of Mehwish Hayat along with her family include Azfar Rehman, Faiza Ashfaq, Danish Hayat and Fahad Hussain.

Source: Instagram

Sharing the picture of her birthday bash on Instagram, Hayat thanked everyone for wishing her and sending prayers. She also elaborated on how the last year was full of opportunities and gave her an idea about the things that matter the most to her.

She said, “Thank you everyone for all wonderful birthday messages – your love means so much. As I turn 33 the past year gave me opportunity to reflect, assess my life and see what really matters to me. Work has been so full on, I’d forgotten the simple pleasures in life; getting my mother oiling my hair, beating my brothers and Nephew at video games, watching Netflix with my sister – all things that I’d missed. Believe me nothing in life is as important as family.”

She told everyone to live their lives to the fullest and that too on their own terms, “Let’s not let society dictate the way we want to lead our life. It is possible for a girl in her early 30’s to be totally happy without being married and with children. It’ll happen when it will and not to some prescribed timetable.

Change needs to be systemic. I am a little fed up of celebrities (including me) made ambassadors for meaningful causes that fizzle out after a grand launch and photo op. How many times have we flooded social media, taken out rallies after some distressing event and then what?”

Hayat has always been vocal about topics that are still considered a taboo in our society. She added,
“Depression is real”. Though my life may seem perfect, we all have our insecurities and shortcomings. But as long as we work towards inner healing and connecting with the divine, we are capable of overcoming everything that life throws at us.
The world was put on pause for us to reflect, how we come out of this is up to us. I, for one know the direction I need to take. My mother always teaches that we have to create our own destinies where ever that may lead. I will dare to dream and dare to dream big. Anything is possible if you believe! 💕💪🏻”

We wish Mehwish Hayat a very Happy and Blessed Happy Birthday. May she get more success and fame in the years to come.

These Skin Care Tips you should Follow during Winter Season

Winter brings with it dull and dry skin as it takes away all the moisture. Thanks to some easy winter care tips that are guaranteed to make your skin look healthy and glowing despite the harsh weather.

Stay Hydrated

Water intake is considerably less in winter due to the cold outside. However, one must remember that our body is still losing water in different ways and we must rehydrate for it to function properly. Low humidity is one of the biggest reasons for dull skin. Try sipping water throughout the day to retain that moisture. You can also use hot beverages and seasonal fruits like berries and cherries to compensate for your water intake.

Quick Showers

Hot showers seem like a blessing in winters but they are extremely damaging for your skin. Not only do they dehydrate the skin, they also deprive it of the natural oils. The best solution is to use lukewarm water and keeping your showers short.

Use Moisturizer

As soon as you wash your face, hands or even take a shower, use an oil-based moisturizer to keep your skin healthy and glowing all day long.

Use Sunscreens

Sunscreens are not for summer only; they are equally important in winter too. When gathering your gears to go out, like cloves, cap and sunglasses, do not, in any case, forget your sunscreen because UV rays are still there

Night Time Routine

When you are about to give your body a good rest for 7-8 hours, remember your skin too. A good moisturizer and essential oils can do wonders. Just do not do it occasionally, make it a habit and you will wake up with soft and supple skin each day.

Your feet and hands, too are part of your body. Please do take care of them and moisturize them along with your face.

What are your favourite skin care tips that you live by?

Internet Trolls Attack Sarah Khan

“Your Father Died Just A Week Ago and You Are Posting About Drama” – Internet Trolls Attack Sarah Khan

The glamorous world of entertainment is very cruel. People do not even think for a moment before posting judgmental comments here. That is what exactly happened with Sarah Khan when she shared a picture of her latest drama Raqs e Bismil and criticism started pouring in.

Sarah and Noor Khan lost their father last week. They have already lost their mother to a long battle with cancer in 2017. Now the three sisters and two brothers are going through a lot of pain after losing both the parents, yet some netizens have got no basic manners.

Source: Instagram

It was Abdul Samad Zia, who was also Sarah Khan’s official wedding photographer, who broke this news on the internet. While many fans commented their heartfelt condolences to the Khan sisters, there were some who thought it was the perfect time to school Sarah Khan.

Ms. Khan shared the picture of “Moosa Aur Zohra” and a troll said, “Moosa n Zohra ki pari hai!!! N ur father? Abhe ek week hua hai unha gaye huye and ur posting about dramas? Oh God, kesi dunia hai ye adakari ki”. To which Sarah Khan responded, “kyun ek maheenay baad post karti to gham kum ho jata? Does that even make any sense?”

Source: Instagram

People should realize that not everyone needs their advice, especially when it is unsolicited and you are giving it to someone who is going through the trauma of losing a dear one.

This is the second saddening news we came to know in the past week. Earlier it was the death of Aiman and Minal Khan which was announced by Aiman’s husband Muneeb on social media.

We are deeply saddened by both the deaths and offer our condolences to the families.

5 Winter Colours You Will See Everywhere This Season

We are in the middle of a pandemic. The lockdowns are there and so are SOPs that must be followed. However, there is one thing that no one of us can miss out on and that is fashion, specifically colours. They have an impact on our personality and can affect our moods, too.

Here is a roundup of 5 colours that will make you look relatable this winter.

Shimmery Silver

Silver has always been a style statement. To make it look classy and sophisticated, use a shimmery shade with muted tones.

 

All Shades of Red

Red is undoubtedly one of the most favourite colours for winters because of its warmth. Burgundy, Cherry Red, Wine and Blood Red are some of the shades that look divine however you carry them.

Fresh Celery

Add a touch of freshness to your winter wardrobe with this green-yellowish shade. Wear it with a dress, denim or skirt, it will not disappoint you

Classic Black

Good news for those who love this colour, BLACK is not going anywhere this season, either. Try it out in different shaddes, cuts and designs to look stylish effortlessly.

Holographic Shades

Holographic shades were the highlights of most runways for Autumn/Winter 2020. They were paired with greys, whites and even pastels to give a more of a clean look. Nothing busy or overworked. Create your own style statement by experimenting with these shades.

Winter wardrobes are fun because of the layers you get to wear, unlike summer where you barely want to dress up. Make the most of this season and include some, few or all of these colours in your collection and you will feel like a fashionista every day!

Which is that one colour you feel like your winter wardrobe is incomplete without?

More tsunamis, Cure for cancer and end of the world – Predicts Baba Vanga who also predicted 9/11 Attacks

Source: Twitter

Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian mystic who was gifted with the ability to see future. Although she died more than 20 years ago, the things she predicted before her death are still coming true. So far, her prophecies about ISIS, 9/11, Chernobyl accident, Diana’s death and dissolution of Soviet Union have turned out to be true. Baba Vanga, who was known for foreseeing future and contacting the dead, was born in 1911 and died in 1996.

More Tsunamis and Natural Cataclysms

Baba Vanga was the first one to mention about the catastrophic 2004 tsunami that killed nearly 220,000 people in Asia. She also said that this will not stop here and many more tsunamis, earthquakes and meteorite strikes will follow. In 2021, her predictions indicate towards more devastating tsunamis.

Will 2021 be End of the World?

Vanga said that the world will witness “Three Giants” uniting along with a Dragon. She alarmed us of devastating events that will change our fate and destiny.

And no, her followers believe that the world is not going to end before 5079, so we can relax for a while now.

“The day will come when cancer will be tied with iron chains”. Baba Vanga did not specifically state when the cure for cancer would be found. However, she predicted that the humanity will get rid of this deadly disease in the beginning of the 21st century. Could 2021 be that year?

Was Baba Vanga Really Right About Her Predictions?

Well, most of the time she was. However, there were times when her prophecies did not make any sense and did not come true either. To be honest, no one exactly knows what the future holds, it is just that some people foresee somethings on the basis of their knowledge – sometimes it is a hit and sometimes it is a miss!

Let us see how Baba Vanga’s predictions unfold in 2021.

Imran Abbas To Marry Alizeh Shah Soon?

Imran Abbas and Alizeh Shah have been part of the entertainment industry for quite a while now. The both have been part of some amazing projects and have created their own identity with their work. Both look good together on and off the screen and a rumour has it that they are about to tie the knot soon. 

Recently the duo was seen together in Jo Tu Chahay and stunned the audience with their performance. In fact, the chemistry between the two is the main reason the drama became a hit. It is mention-worthy here that Imran Abbas, who has been in the industry for a little longer and is known for his powerful characters in Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan, Tum Kon Piya, Akbari Asghari, Dil-e-Muztar, Alvida and Mohabbat Tumsay Nafrat Hai has never been mentioned in any kind of scandal before and this is why this news becomes even more interesting.

In an interview, Imran Abbas has candidly hinted towards getting married soon and people cannot help but speculate that he is going to choose Alizeh Shah as his life partner. They have already been spending quality time together and, unlike on screen, where they seem to have serious personalities, both are having a lot of fun together. According to sources, the two have been dating for a couple of months now.

Here is a video of them lip-syncing to dialogues from the blockbuster movie Jab We Met.

Imran Abbas took to Instagram and rubbished all these baseless rumors of his marriage. In a question/answer session, his fans asked a lot of questions about his personal and professional life, which the actor answered patiently. It was in response to one of these questions that Imran Abbas spilled the beans on his marriage.

Let us see how things roll out for both of them and we would be more than delighted to see them together, again, in real life. All the best to both of them!

PSL 2021 To Be Played in Karachi and Lahore Only Due to COVID-19

All 34 matches of PSL 2021 are likely to be played in Karachi and Lahore only. Though the news is not yet official it is said that PCB is considering organizing an equal number of matches in both the cities. 17 matches will be played in Karachi while Lahore will host the same number of matches. The decision of limiting matches to only two cities is because of the recent COVID-19 situation.

Preparations for PSL 2021 already underway: PCB CEO Wasim Khan | -  GeoSuper.tv
Credit: Pakistan Cricket Board/ PSL

Previous year, all matches of PSL were played in Pakistan for the first time ever since its inception in 2016. The matches were played in four cities including Multan, Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.

For 2021, the PCB was planning to add in Peshawar as another destination but due to the ongoing pandemic, this seems a tough choice and the board is contemplating to distribute matches between two metropolitan cities only.

This will become a challenge for Karachi and Lahore, especially for Karachi which faces major traffic issues whenever matches are staged here. Also, the law enforcement agencies will face a tough time managing peace and security city-wide for 15 days, and that too nonstop. However, this is too early to comment on it.

Multan too was a good option but lack of infrastructure, logistic problems, shortage of proper accommodation for international players and players’ security would be difficult. The same is not true for Rawalpindi though, which can be used as a third venue if the officials want to reduce burden on the two mentioned cities.

For now, the PCB is taking into consideration all the available venue options which will then be shared with the six franchise owners. The owners will then take the final call.

An official from PCB stated that all franchises are ready for PSL 2021 after clearing their previous charges. The PSL 2021 is expected to happen in February-March.
