Ali Gul Mallah: Fahad Mustafa’s Father Was My Marriage Guarantor

Renowned comedian Ali Gul Mallah, famous for his iconic “Bhale” dialogue in Ishq Murshid, recently shared his struggles in both his career and personal life. He revealed how girls’ families rejected his marriage proposals because of his acting career. However, he finally got married after Fahad Mustafa’s father vouched for him.

Ali Gul Mallah appeared on Mathira’s show, where he discussed his journey from hardship to success.

During the conversation, he shared, “I was born in Jacobabad, Sindh. I lost my mother when I was a child.” He explained that he had a sister, and after their mother’s passing, their father remarried and had more children.

Recalling his tough childhood, he said, “I was very close to my mother. After her death, my life changed. People started hitting, taunting, and ignoring me. That’s when I learned to bear my sorrows through comedy.”

Ali Gul Mallah admired film star Nadeem and decided to pursue acting after watching Dil Lagi. While working in a garage, he began imitating actors.

However, his challenges did not end there. He shared, “I performed in theatre plays in Jacobabad to earn money for tea and food. But poverty and people’s hatred pushed me to the point where I once tried to commit suicide.” Fortunately, theatre writer Hameed Bhutto saved his life and guided him.

In 1996, he moved to Karachi to pursue acting but faced extreme financial difficulties. “I couldn’t even afford 500 rupees per month to pay my flat rent,” he recalled.

Discussing his marriage struggles, he said, “My maternal uncles, who were also the girl’s parents, refused my marriage proposal because I was an actor.”

Determined to convince them, he said, “Since my maternal uncle admired Salahuddin Tunio, I took him along to propose.” Fahad Mustafa’s father then vouched for him, leading to his successful marriage. “Now, I have three children,” he added.

Talking about his family, he said, “My eldest son is studying cybersecurity at university, while my other son and daughter are in college. My youngest son has an interest in acting.”

Explaining his viral Bhale dialogue, he said, “I used to say ‘Bhale’ in my Sindhi comedy YouTube videos, and Ishq Murshid director Farooq Rind had seen those videos.”

He further shared how his role in the drama was unexpected: “Farooq Rind called me for a scene and told me my role wasn’t originally in the script. The script only mentioned a vegetable seller, and he wanted me to play the part using my Bhale dialogue.”

Ali Gul Mallah’s powerful delivery made the dialogue an instant hit. “People loved my dialogue, and from there, I reached new heights of fame and became loved all over the world,” he concluded.

Tazeen Hussain Says Faisal Rehman Is a ‘Riot’ on Set

What’s It Like Reuniting with a Co-Star After 28 Years? For Tazeen Hussain, It Feels Like No Time Has Passed at All

When Tazeen Hussain reunited with fellow actor Faisal Rehman after 28 years, she picked up right where they left off—as if no time had passed.

“It didn’t feel like 28 years. It felt like 28 minutes—or even 28 seconds!” she recalled, referring to her onscreen husband in Qarze Jaan (2024), during a resurfaced clip from The Rafay Mahmood Podcast. Longtime fans of Pakistani television may remember their first pairing in Shahpar (1997), but for Tazeen, the decades in between haven’t changed a thing.

“Faisal hasn’t changed much—and he told me I haven’t either!” she added. “He’s a riot to work with. That’s how it was back then, and that’s exactly how it is now.”

Tazeen praised Faisal’s spontaneous energy on set, crediting his knack for improvisation. “A lot of our scenes involved improv. He’s amazing at it,” she explained.

She also pointed out Faisal’s playful tendency to tweak scenes without warning. “He’s very clever!” she laughed. “He knows if he tells me what he’s planning, I won’t agree. So he just does it on camera!”

Despite the surprises, Tazeen said their chemistry allows her to respond with instinct. “My reactions to him are totally natural,” she admitted.

Reflecting on one particularly challenging scene—her wedding night sequence in Qarze Jaan—Tazeen revealed how Faisal’s presence helped her stay grounded. “I was so stressed and told [director] Saqib [Khan] I couldn’t do it. But Faisal calmed me down, and the scene turned out beautifully. It worked because he was with me. Having that level of comfort with your co-actor makes all the difference.”

Tazeen praised Faisal for fostering a respectful, relaxed environment on set. “He respects all his co-stars, whether they’re new or experienced,” she said. “And he owns what he does—he’s totally shameless and unapologetic about it. That’s what makes him who he is.”

Meera Makes Emotional Appeal to UK for Visa

The acclaimed actress promptly reported the theft to the local authorities, pointing fingers at one of her domestic help as the prime suspect of Meera's house theft.

Renowned Pakistani actress Meera has issued a heartfelt plea to British authorities, requesting the United Kingdom to consider her visa application on humanitarian grounds. The Lollywood star, whose real name is Syeda Irtiza Rubab, is seeking entry into the UK to visit her ailing sister undergoing cancer treatment in London.

Addressing the UK High Commission and High Commissioner Jane Marriott, Meera said, “My home is in London. My family lives there. My sister is battling cancer and I need to be by her side. I humbly ask the UK authorities to grant me a visa on merit.”

Meera submitted a new visa application this week after a string of setbacks. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the UK immigration authorities had imposed a 10-year entry ban on her—a restriction that has now expired. The ban was reportedly the result of miscommunication during an English-language interview, which caused confusion and led to her movements being restricted by immigration officials.

Following the expiry of the ban, Meera’s attempt to re-enter the UK hit yet another roadblock when her travel agent mistakenly submitted incorrect information, resulting in a denial due to “false representation.” Meera has since confirmed that she is now taking matters into her own hands and will reapply with complete transparency.

Her mother, Shafqat Zahra Bukhari, has also stepped forward in support, emphasizing that Meera’s family home is in London, and several film projects — in which Meera plays lead roles — are currently stalled due to her absence. “The ban is over. She should be allowed to enter. Meera is a respected artist and has worked hard for her place. Let her reunite with her family,” she appealed.

Meera’s younger sister lives in Germany, while another sister — a qualified solicitor — resides in London. Her mother spends most of her time in the UK at the family home, which was reportedly purchased with Meera’s earnings from her acting career.

Despite her frequent travel to the United States as a Green Card holder, Meera’s inability to enter the UK remains a deeply personal and professional setback.
