Saba Qamar makes a powerful comeback to television with Pamaal, an upcoming drama that explores emotional trauma, identity, and resilience.

Set to air soon on Green Entertainment, Pamaal features Saba as Malika — a character shaped by personal struggle and the woman who raised her.

The drama’s first teaser has already sparked buzz online, showcasing Saba’s raw, emotionally charged performance that hints at a deeply moving story.

Known for fearless roles in Cheekh, Baaghi, Fraud, and Sangat, Saba continues to embrace narratives that go beyond surface-level storytelling. She also earned critical acclaim for her film work in Lahore Se Agay and Hindi Medium, strengthening her status in both TV and cinema.

With over 6.2 million followers, Saba quickly stirred reactions from fans who called the teaser “powerful” and “relatable.”

Taking to social media, Saba shared her personal connection to Pamaal and urged women to watch it with open hearts. She clarified that the drama doesn’t follow a typical romantic plot but instead reflects how women often lose themselves trying to meet others’ expectations.

“This is about real women who hide their pain behind smiles, who are strong even when they’re breaking inside,” she wrote.

She explained that Malika’s story captures the quiet endurance and emotional exhaustion many women live with daily. “Most women will see a part of themselves in Malika — in her silence, her strength, and in the battles no one else sees,” she added.

Saba emphasized that Pamaal is more than just a drama — it’s a mirror meant to inspire healing, self-worth, and introspection. She hopes viewers will see themselves in the story and find comfort in knowing they’re not alone.

Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah, known for emotionally rich storytelling, and directed by Khizer Idrees, with Tehreem Chaudhary as producer, Pamaal promises to deliver one of the year’s most compelling serials.

As anticipation builds, Saba Qamar’s heartfelt connection to the project suggests Pamaal may soon leave a lasting mark on Pakistani television.

Actress Mehwish Hayat responded to the viral trend of celebrities and influencers imitating Sahir Lodhi on social media, urging people to practice kindness and respect.

Recently, Sahir Lodhi’s official social media accounts shared videos showing him seemingly “unaware” while preparing for meetings. These clips, which appeared overly staged and featured repetitive expressions, quickly went viral.

As the videos circulated, social media users flooded them with humorous comments. Several well-known actors and influencers—such as Faisal Qureshi, Yasir Nawaz, and Aijaz Aslam—joined the trend by posting light-hearted imitations of Sahir’s dramatic style.

What began as routine content turned into meme material as celebrities and influencers mimicked Lodhi’s behavior, drawing massive attention online.

However, Mehwish Hayat stepped in to call out the mockery. She defended Sahir Lodhi and urged people to show more compassion.

“Every human being deserves basic respect,” Mehwish wrote on Instagram. “One should not abandon the rule of decency and gentleness while criticizing someone’s style.”

She emphasized Sahir Lodhi’s dedication, stating, “He’s worked consistently, shown up with passion, and built a name in an industry that’s not easy to survive in. It’s really not fair how some people mock him, forgetting that he’s human, just like the rest of us.”

She concluded by saying, “You don’t have to agree with someone’s style or choices, but basic respect should never go out of fashion. Let’s normalize kindness, especially toward those who keep showing up, no matter what the world throws at them!”

When cricket fans tuned in expecting a clash of legends at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, they were instead met with disappointment—and controversy. The much-awaited India-Pakistan encounter was cancelled abruptly. Now, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has broken his silence, lashing out at Indian players for what he calls “politics overshadowing sport.”

The cancellation came amid heightened geopolitical tensions following the recent Pahalgam attacks and Operation Sindoor. Several Indian players, including Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, and Yusuf Pathan reportedly opted out of the game, citing public sentiment. While official confirmations were few, Shikhar Dhawan publicly shared an email with organizers declaring his withdrawal, calling it a personal decision in light of recent events.

But for Shahid Afridi, the turn of events was both disheartening and unnecessary.

“We are here to play cricket,” he told reporters, visibly frustrated. “Cricket should rise above politics. A player must act like an ambassador, not someone who becomes a source of embarrassment for their country.”

Afridi didn’t hold back. He questioned the timing of the Indian withdrawals, highlighting the fact that both teams had already arrived, trained, and prepared. “If India didn’t want to play, they should’ve said so before we all came here. What’s the point of pulling out at the last minute after everything’s been arranged?”

Addressing the elephant in the room, whether his presence was the trigger, Afridi responded with humility: “If I had even the slightest idea that my presence would lead to the match being called off, I wouldn’t have stepped onto the ground. Who is Shahid Afridi compared to cricket? Nothing. Cricket should go on; it’s bigger than all of us.”

The ex-skipper also expressed concern over the role of politics in eroding the spirit of sportsmanship. “Sport is supposed to build bridges, not burn them,” he said. “If politics keeps creeping in, how can we ever move forward? Lack of dialogue only deepens mistrust.”

Afridi acknowledged that while disagreements are inevitable, players should lead by example, especially those who once carried the hopes of millions. “We came here not just to play, but to connect, to sit together, talk, and maybe heal a few wounds. Sadly, one or two negative voices can ruin the opportunity for everyone.”
