Pakistani actress Ammara Chaudhry has shared a deeply personal and “frightening” experience about the challenges of living alone, highlighting a terrifying incident during her battle with COVID-19.

During a recent appearance on a private TV show, Ammara Chaudhry spoke about the increasing number of young men and women living alone in major cities like Karachi, often for work or studies.

She emphasized that while there are various reasons for this, solo living is far from easy. “There are many times when one profoundly feels the absence of their loved ones,” she stated. This feeling is particularly strong upon returning from shoots and intensifies significantly when one falls ill.

Ammara, whose family resides in Lahore while she lives in Karachi for work, recounted a particularly harrowing experience from two years ago.

Ammara revealed that she contracted COVID-19 while in Karachi for shoots. During this period, the absence of her family was acutely felt. The day after testing positive, she lost consciousness for an entire day, with no one aware of her condition. Concerned by her unresponsiveness, her family contacted her landlord, explaining the situation. The landlord then sent someone to check on her well-being.

“When I regained consciousness after being unconscious for a whole day, my phone was flooded with calls from home,” Ammara shared. Her family had even booked tickets to Karachi, gravely worried. The landlord later informed her that he had only knocked on her door at her family’s insistence, having previously assumed she had returned to Lahore.

Ammara Chaudhry’s candid account underscores the isolation and potential dangers faced by individuals living independently, especially during health crises.

Yumna Zaidi has revealed why Season 2 of the hit drama serial Tere Bin, announced nearly two years ago, still hasn’t been released.

In a recent appearance at an event in the US, the actress said, “I think the project was announced too soon.” She went on to add, “I believe the real responsibility for the delay lies with both the producers and the actors.”

Yumna clarified that while fans should remain hopeful, nothing is finalised yet. “You all should hope for Season 2, but I don’t have any specific information in this regard yet, because it is still under completion,” she explained.

Tere Bin, which aired on Geo Entertainment from December 2022 to July 2023, gained immense popularity not only in Pakistan but also internationally. Riding on its success, producer Abdullah Kadwani announced Tere Bin Season 2 in July 2023.

The 58-episode series followed the turbulent love story of Murtasim, played by Wahaj Ali, and Meerab, played by Yumna Zaidi, a married couple navigating misunderstandings, emotional tension, and a deep yet complex feelings for one another.

However, nearly two years since the announcement, there has been no official update on the second season. In fact, both Geo TV and Seventh Sky Entertainment have removed the Season 2 announcement post from their official social media platforms, further fueling speculation about the project’s release.

Superstar Humayun Saeed recently recalled an unexpected moment from 2005 when he danced alongside Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta at the Zee Cinema Awards.

During a podcast, Humayun shared that he, Reema, Adnan Siddiqui, and other Pakistani artists received invitations to attend the award show in London.

He recounted a light-hearted moment on the flight: “My co-actor Fakhar joked, ‘What if Shah Rukh calls you on stage and asks you to dance with him? How would you feel?’” Humayun laughed at the time, unaware that the joke would soon become reality.

“When we landed, I noticed something odd. Instead of joining the rest of the artists on their bus, the organizers asked me to board a separate one,” Humayun said.

When he asked why, they explained that he had a rehearsal scheduled with Shah Rukh and Preity for a dance performance the next day. “I was shocked. Fakhar’s joke had come true!” he said.

Humayun described his interaction with Shah Rukh Khan warmly. “He greeted me like he already knew me and even helped me learn the dance steps.”

The joint performance received thunderous applause. “The audience—about 50 to 60 thousand people—gave us a standing ovation. They appreciated seeing Indian and Pakistani actors dancing together,” Humayun shared.

The 2005 Zee Cinema Awards marked a rare and iconic collaboration between Indian stars Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, and Pakistani actors Reema and Humayun Saeed—an unforgettable moment still cherished by fans across borders.
