A contestant from Tamasha Season 5 has unexpectedly found himself at the centre of an India-Pakistan social media conversation after Rakhi Sawant appeared to draw a hilarious comparison between herself and Babrik Shah.

A clip from the popular Pakistani reality show began circulating online after entertainment platform Galaxy Lollywood shared a post highlighting Babrik’s habit of turning tense situations inside the Tamasha house into comedy.

The post caught Rakhi Sawant’s attention, and the Indian media personality left a question in the comments that immediately grabbed social media users’ attention: Is Babrik Shah the “male Rakhi Sawant” of the show?

The comparison comes from Babrik’s increasingly noticeable style inside the house. Whenever an argument starts getting too serious, the actor often responds with a joke, a sarcastic remark or an unexpected one-liner, leaving his fellow contestants entertained.

His reactions have become one of the more talked-about aspects of his time on the reality show. Whether he is facing an accusation, caught in an argument or being questioned about his behaviour, Babrik rarely misses an opportunity to add a humorous twist to the conversation.

One particular moment highlighted in the viral clip shows just how quickly he can turn an ordinary exchange into a punchline.

When the discussion turns toward akhlaaq, or manners, Babrik picks up a sofa cushion and jokingly declares, “Iska naam akhlaaq hai.” The unexpected response leaves the moment feeling more like a comedy scene than a heated reality-TV discussion.

It is this tendency to turn uncomfortable or confrontational situations into entertainment that appears to have prompted the Rakhi comparison.

Rakhi Sawant has built much of her public persona around being outspoken, unpredictable and highly expressive. Over the years, her dramatic appearances and candid comments have made her a constant fixture in internet memes, viral clips and social media conversations.

She has also frequently used humour and theatrics to keep audiences engaged, even when the subject itself is serious or awkward. That similarity seems to be what made the “male Rakhi Sawant” comparison catch fire among viewers.

Babrik, meanwhile, has been carving out his own identity in Tamasha Season 5, with his sarcastic humour becoming increasingly noticeable as tensions rise inside the house.

Ahsan Khan has spent nearly three decades in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, building a reputation for taking on characters that are often very different from one another. From television dramas to films and hosting, the actor has remained one of the most recognizable faces on screen.

These days, Ahsan is receiving attention for his role as Tabish in Aap Ki Izzat, a character whose complicated personal life has sparked plenty of discussion among viewers. In a recent conversation with Maliha Rehman, the actor was asked a rather interesting question: does he actually know someone in real life who behaves like Tabish?

His answer was far more unexpected than a simple yes.

Ahsan said he does know people whose real lives resemble Tabish’s story. In fact, he revealed that he knows not only men but also two women who, according to him, have behaved in a similar way.

The actor explained that while he believes there are more men who cheat, women are not completely removed from such situations. He recalled knowing women who had cheated on their families, left their spouses and eventually returned to their previous families and relationships.

His comments offered a different perspective on the debate surrounding infidelity, particularly because stories involving cheating women are often discussed very differently from those involving men.

Ahsan acknowledged that women generally face greater difficulties and harsher judgment in society. However, he also made it clear that he does not believe this means women cannot make the same mistakes as men.

For him, being sympathetic toward the struggles women face does not mean overlooking their actions. He pointed out that women can also cheat, just as men can, and said his own experiences have shown him examples of this.

Veteran actress and model Jia Ali has opened up about one of the most talked-about chapters in Pakistan’s fashion industry, sharing her perspective on former supermodel Ayyan Ali and the controversy that dramatically changed her career.

Jia, who has remained associated with the fashion and entertainment industry for decades, has often been candid about her experiences. In a recent interview, she looked back at the time when Ayyan was rapidly becoming one of the most recognizable faces in Pakistani fashion.

Ayyan had made a name for herself at a remarkably young age. Her face appeared on major billboards, she walked high-profile fashion shows and quickly became one of the industry’s most sought-after models. Jia and Ayyan had also worked within the same fashion circles, giving Jia a firsthand view of the environment surrounding the young model.

While discussing those days, Jia recalled noticing unusual things around Ayyan. According to her, they would see Ayyan transferring files and expensive cars arriving to pick her up after shoots. Jia said she found it striking that someone so young was suddenly receiving such enormous attention and access.

Ayyan’s career later took a dramatic turn when she was arrested in 2015 in a currency-smuggling case that became one of the country’s biggest media stories. Her arrest, subsequent court appearances and prolonged legal battle kept her in the headlines for years.

Jia revealed that she had actually warned Ayyan during that period. She said she had told the young model that the people surrounding her could eventually take advantage of her and then abandon her when she was no longer useful.

However, Jia’s comments were not simply aimed at Ayyan. In fact, the actress made a broader point about the way women in the entertainment industry are treated when controversies emerge.

According to Jia, society is often too quick to put the entire blame on the woman involved while ignoring the people who may have enabled, influenced or exploited her. She argued that instead of targeting women alone, people should also question those who put them in such situations.

Some users accused Jia of doing exactly what she was asking society not to do. One comment questioned why she was also speaking negatively about women if her message was about protecting them.

Another user suggested that Jia’s remarks came from a place of comparison, claiming that she was targeting Ayyan because she herself had not reached the same level of fame.

A third reaction took a more cynical view of the entertainment industry, suggesting that people often appear principled only when they do not have access to the same opportunities.
