Actress Zainab Mazhar recently opened up about her personal journey through heartbreak during a show appearance, speaking openly about love, betrayal, and growth.

She recalled the pain of a past betrayal and described the emotional strength it took to move on. Zainab began her journey in the entertainment industry during her university years, hosting a radio show called Guru. The show became an unexpected hit, with listeners frequently seeking her relationship advice—an ironic twist, considering her own struggles with love at the time.

Although acting wasn’t her original goal, Zainab eventually discovered her passion for the stage. “Acting lets me express emotions I normally suppress in real life,” she shared, revealing how the stage gave her the freedom to laugh, cry, and feel without restraint.

As the conversation turned emotional, Zainab bravely spoke about unrequited love. “One-sided affection isn’t love—it’s torment,” she said, emphasizing her belief in honest communication. She added that she prefers to be upfront when she develops feelings for someone.

Zainab recounted the betrayal that deeply hurt her. “My ex made excuses about being forced into the situation, but I eventually realized it was all calculated deception,” she revealed. The experience left her emotionally shattered and took a long time to heal from.

Now in a better emotional space, Zainab lightened the mood by joking about her ideal partner—someone tall like her, ideally resembling Bilal Abbas or Fawad Khan.

Her transformation from a heartbroken radio host to a confident actress highlights her resilience and growth. In Pakistan’s evolving entertainment industry, Zainab Mazhar continues to prove that vulnerability and strength can go hand in hand.

Pakistan’s entertainment industry has risen in solidarity and sorrow following a brutal honour killing incident in Dagari, Balochistan. A couple was shot dead at close range after being dragged into a desert by a group of men, reportedly on the orders of a tribal jirga. The entire nation was shaken after a disturbing video of the killing surfaced online, sparking outrage , especially among the country’s celebrities.

Leading voices in the entertainment world are using their platforms to condemn the violence and express grief over what they call a “betrayal of humanity.”

Actress Hania Aamir, known for her vocal advocacy on women’s issues, posted a powerful message on Instagram:

“If women were to start killing for honour, no man would remain.”
Her statement quickly gained traction as it bluntly addressed the deeply patriarchal mindset underlying such crimes.

Tamkenat Mansoor, echoing public fury, wrote:

“This society hates women.”
Her comment mirrored the growing sentiment that gender-based violence remains largely unchecked in many parts of Pakistan.

Veteran actor Nauman Ijaz called the killing “deeply disturbing and heart-wrenching,” adding that such incidents reflect a “raw betrayal of basic human values.”

Ahsan Khan, who has previously highlighted social issues through his work, said he wished education were more accessible. “This is not just about violence. It’s about a lack of education and tolerance,” he stated.

Model Hira Khan mourned the loss with a heartfelt prayer for the victims, ending her message with:

“We failed you, and so many others.”

Talhah Yunus of Young Stunners used his Instagram stories to raise awareness, urging his followers to pay attention to the crisis of honour-based violence in the country.

The Balochistan incident is not an isolated case. From January to November 2024, Pakistan recorded 346 honour killings, underlining the systemic nature of these crimes. Cultural codes rooted in ‘honour’ and shame continue to endanger lives, especially of women, across the nation.

While justice remains elusive, celebrities have stepped in as powerful voices, demanding accountability and a cultural reckoning.
