Fame Triggers Anxiety: Hania Aamir

Hania Aamir fans are accustomed to her radiant smile and uplifting Instagram posts about mental health. However, in an interview with BBC Asian Network, Hania revealed a lesser-known side of her life. Despite her success, the pressures of fame often trigger anxiety for the actress, leading her to a deeper reflection on the responsibilities that come with her public persona.

Fame is Both a Blessing and a Source of Fear: Hania Aamir

Hania, dressed casually in a sweatshirt, spoke about her commitment to making a positive impact through her fame. A long-time advocate for mental health, she has been openly vulnerable on social media, encouraging her followers to address their own mental well-being. “I post openly about mental health so that other people don’t have to go through it alone,” she shared. Hania’s goal is to break the taboo surrounding mental health and spread awareness about available remedies.

For Hania, her fame is both a blessing and a source of fear. “I get scared of the fame I have,” she admitted. This introspection drives her to use her platform for positive change. “When I meet God, what am I going to tell Him? That I posted pretty pictures and made a lot of money? It doesn’t sit well with me. All I want is to have a positive impact and make people laugh. That’s it.”

Pressures of Netflix

Hania’s upcoming Netflix project, “Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo,” brings additional pressures. The series, based on a popular novel, features an impressive cast, including Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed, Mahira Khan, and Hamza Ali Abbasi. The project’s global audience adds to the weight of expectations.

“It’s crazy,” Hania confessed. “Khushal and I feel it the most because we’re the youngest. We don’t know what’s going to happen. We just hope that it’s good!” Despite having 13 million followers on Instagram and a robust fan base, this project is a significant leap in her career.

“Honestly, my first reaction was ‘What?’ and ‘What am I doing in it?’” Hania shared, wearing a cryptic smile. She hinted that the Netflix adaptation would differ slightly from the novel but remained tight-lipped about specifics. “It’s exciting, and it’s a huge deal for me to be working with such great actors,” she said. “I’m just grateful that Pakistan is having its first Netflix series! You just need to be true to your character and do your job. The more you stress about it, the more underwhelming your performance will be.”

The Evil Eye Took a Toll on My Family: Nida Yasir

The morning show queen and beloved TV personality Nida Yasir has revealed how the evil eye — a concept often brushed off in modern circles — silently crept into her life and affected her family in profound ways.

Known for her radiant personality and infectious energy, Nida has been a household name for nearly two decades. Hosting ARY Digital’s morning show for 16 years, producing popular films and dramas like Chakkar, Mehrunissa V Lub U, Wrong Number, and Nadaniyan, and building an Instagram following of 2.6 million, Nida Yasir has long lived life in the public eye. But now, she’s reflecting on how that very openness may have come with an unseen cost.

During a heartfelt conversation, Nida candidly shared how her children repeatedly fell ill whenever she shared their pictures online. “It’s almost like clockwork,” she said. “Every time I posted their photos, they would get sick. It stopped me in my tracks. That’s when I realized what the evil eye truly means.” Her reflection wasn’t rooted in superstition, but in a pattern she couldn’t ignore. “It’s tried and tested,” she added. “Now I understand why people cover their kids’ faces with emojis. I used to wonder—but not anymore.”

Even today, as she marked her 23rd wedding anniversary with Yasir Nawaz, Nida cautiously prayed for protection from negative energies while sharing a celebratory reel. Married for over two decades and raising three children, the couple has often been seen as an ideal showbiz pair. But behind the glitz and glam, Nida admits, “I have always worn my heart on my sleeve. I love sharing my happiness—with my friends, my viewers, and even strangers. That’s just who I am. But sometimes, even pure joy needs protection.”

Her revelation resonates with many in the entertainment industry and beyond, including actress Beena Chaudhary, who confessed that posting pictures with her husband often led to unexpected arguments on the same day.

HSY Defends Fawad Khan Against On-going Criticism

Fawad Khan is among the biggest stars of Pakistan. He has given many hit projects to Pakistan before he shited focus on his Bollywood career. HSY on the other hand is one of the biggest designers and actors of Pakistan and he is friends with Fawad. Recently Fawad is going through a lot of criticism. It all started with the star promoting his upcoming Indian film Abir Gulaal which then got shelved after the Pahalgam Attacks.

Fawad Khan who never makes any political remarks condemned the attacks. Later on a war started between the two countries and after remaining silent, Fawad shared his side in a measured way as to not offend either side. This made Pakistani people criticize him more as he did not openly support Pakistan. HSY just spoke to journalist Ambreen Fatima and she asked his opinion on the criticism on Fawad Khan.

HSY defended Fawad Khan as he shared that Fawad is a great friend of his. No one can actually tell what is going on in someone’s heart but he knows how big a patriot Fawad is and how much he loves his country.

HSY further added that he also understands where people are coming from. We were all very angry after India’s attack and since people make stars who they are, they feel stars are a part of their lives. They expected more to come from their favourite actor which might not have come. He cannot say anything about if Fawad Khan was pressurized or not as he does not have those details. He knows Fawad and knows he is patriotic but he also understands people’s feelings and criticism.

Nadia Jamil Reveals She Waited 15 Years to Meet Her Soulmate

In a world of swipe-right romances and headline-making divorces, Nadia Jamil steps in as a refreshing reminder of what lasting love truly looks like. On Friday, the actor and activist took to X (formerly Twitter) with a heartfelt post that unfolded like a Bollywood film—full of soul, wisdom, and zero theatrics.

“We were 14 and 15,” she wrote, diving into a teenage love story that nearly didn’t survive family objections, long-distance hurdles, and a global pandemic. She described herself as an “emotional romantic artist” from a liberal home, while he was a “stoic finance whizz kid” from a conservative family. All parents disapproved. But love persisted.

Nadia waited 15 years to marry him—longer than many celebrity marriages last. When they finally wed, their union began a journey defined by resilience, shared challenges, and slow, steady growth.

“The marriage itself is such a story,” she shared. “It’s had its ups and downs. We are both strong personalities, but we both held on.”

True to her honest and graceful style, Nadia didn’t gloss over the hard parts. She recounted the strain of living apart—she in Cambridge with the kids, he in Lahore supporting family. Cancer, grief, financial setbacks, and parenting from different continents tested their bond. But those trials also brought them closer.

To Nadia, the real secret is respect—being flexible, growing emotionally, and holding space for each other’s evolution.

And the love story continues: their eldest son is now engaged, and Nadia is proudly stepping into the role of mother-in-law to a “fantastic young woman.”

Now mentoring other couples, Nadia draws from her own experience. Her advice? Marry your best friend—the one who grows with you, learns with you, and stays when things get tough.
