Meesha Shafi Back on Karachi Stage for World Culture Festival

Meesha Shafi
Day 30 of Karachi’s 39-day World Culture Festival (Arts Council) ends with Mega Musical Concert 3.0 and Kamli film creators’ session—plus Meesha Shafi’s long-awaited Karachi stage return!
“You’ve made my heart happy!” Meesha told the crowd. “Performing here after years is pure joy—let’s party!” She called the festival a “much-needed, wonderful initiative.”
The packed concert also featured Faris Shafi, Azerbaijan’s Sahib Pashazade, Darabu, and rising Pakistani stars Gizri & Junoon Elia Lawn.
Earlier, a panel on 2022’s Kamli brought together director Sarmad Khoosat, writer Dr. Umair Ahmed, Arts Council President Muhammad Ahmed Shah, and Noor-ul-Huda Shah. Sarmad thanked fans for connecting with the film: “Art unites—this festival is living proof!”
He looked back at Pakistan’s thriving cinematic past, stressing, “Music is essential to culture and heritage”—which is why he included 6 songs in Kamli. Touching on the film’s themes of migration and relationships, he said: “No one leaves home without a reason; decline comes from bonds breaking or circumstances forcing change. Cinema should move people.”
Sarmad also shared his lowkey vibe: he’d rather message close friends than post on social media. And he teased a 2026 project—set to launch the same quiet way!

Sanam Jung questions Karachi’s e-challan system after six traffic fines

Sanam Jung

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

Tipu Sharif

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 TapishHumrahi, 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.
