Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has recalled the warm welcome he received in Pakistan during a visit to Lahore.
In a recent interview with Indian media, Hashmi said he, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and other team members travelled to Lahore for the promotion of Awarapan. Although the trip lasted only two days, he said the love and hospitality they received left a lasting impression.
Speaking about the visit, Hashmi said the reception in Lahore was heartfelt and memorable. He shared that the people were extremely warm and took great care of them throughout the trip. He added that while they had some concerns before travelling, those fears disappeared once they arrived.
When asked whether he had any worries about visiting Pakistan, Hashmi said there was nothing to fear and described Pakistanis as “beautiful people.”
The actor also spoke about the popularity of Hindi films in Pakistan, saying audiences there have always shown great love for Indian cinema. He mentioned Jannat as another one of his films that was well received in the country.
Hashmi is currently promoting Awarapan 2, the sequel to his 2007 cult film. Ahead of its release, he shared a nostalgic collage showing his look as Shivam Pandit from the original film alongside his appearance in the sequel.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 also stars Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, and is set to release worldwide on August 14.

Sanam Jung questions Karachi’s e-challan system after six traffic fines
Pakistani actor and television host Sanam Jung says she received six traffic e-challans within a month of returning to Pakistan, claiming that several were issued for violations she did not commit.
In an Instagram video, Sanam said the repeated fines had frustrated her family, particularly her father. She accepted responsibility for the first challan, which was issued for using a mobile phone while driving.
However, she disputed some of the later fines, including one for allegedly not wearing a seat belt. Sanam said fastening a seat belt had become a regular habit during her time abroad and insisted that she never begins driving without it.
Questioning the accuracy of the system, she expressed concern over being penalised for offences she says did not occur.

Tipu Sharif laments Karachi’s disappearing trees and shrinking green spaces
Actor Tipu Sharif has urged Karachi residents to plant more trees as rapid development continues to shrink the city’s green spaces.
Sharing an Instagram video of himself distributing plantation supplies, Sharif encouraged people to take part in tree-planting drives. He remarked that many graveyards now appear greener than residential areas and called for living spaces to be made equally green.
The actor warned that Karachi is losing trees at an alarming rate, leading to hotter streets, poorer air quality, less shade and fewer birds.
Referring to the monsoon season, Sharif said it presented the ideal opportunity to increase the city’s greenery. “The monsoon season is starting in Karachi. There’s no better time to start planting trees. I request you guys to fill Karachi’s roads, footpaths, and alleys. Please plant trees everywhere and increase greenery,” he said.
Highlighting the city’s rapid construction and property developments, the actor warned that continued deforestation could lead to serious environmental and health concerns. “In Karachi, there is not even two per cent of trees left and there’s construction and development happening. After a few years, we won’t even be able to breathe,” he stated.
Regarding his own efforts to combat the issue, Sharif shared that he had been distributing agricultural material across different parts of the city. “Today I am at the forestry nursery, taking 200 peepal trees to be planted in different areas, cemeteries, and places where greenery is lacking,” he said.
“Just think, people who have already passed away have greener surroundings in these cemeteries, while people living today don’t have clean air to breathe. Why is this?” the actor questioned.
Concluding his message, Sharif wrote, “Our one simple goal is to leave behind shade for people we’ll probably never meet. A tree planted today is a gift to future generations. Let’s stop turning Karachi into a concrete jungle and start bringing life back, one tree at a time.”
Sharif is known for his performances in dramas including Tapish, Humrahi, and Sitaron Se Agay. Along with advocating for environmental conservation, the actor also runs an advocacy page on Instagram addressing issues regarding animal abuse and sharing content about distributing food among the homeless.
