Love Guru Triumphs Over Housefull 5 at UK Box Office

Love Guru Beats Housefull 5 — the headline is making waves across South Asia and beyond, as Pakistani cinema scores a landmark win at the UK box office. Love Guru, the romantic comedy backed by producers Humayun Saeed and Salman Iqbal, has emerged as a commercial juggernaut, even eclipsing Bollywood giant Housefull 5, led by superstar Akshay Kumar.

A Pakistani Blockbuster Rises
Written by Vasay Chaudhary and directed by Nadeem Baig, Love Guru features a star-studded ensemble including Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Ahmed Ali Butt, Ramsha Khan, and Javed Sheikh. The film delivers a wholesome blend of family-friendly humor, romance, and cultural charm — a refreshing change for many viewers tired of formulaic comedy sequels.
Within just nine days, Love Guru grossed over £266,000 (around PKR 10 crore) in the UK. In its second weekend alone, it pulled in £75k, beating Housefull 5 which earned £56k during the same time — a £19k lead that shocked many in the industry.

Audience Applause and Online Buzz
Social media has exploded with praise for the film. One viewer tweeted, “Just watched Love Guru — it’s absolutely worth watching. Loved every bit of it.” Another added, “No cheap comedy, no vulgarity — finally something I could watch with my family.”

Of course, not everyone was quick to accept the film’s success. Skeptics argued that comparing Love Guru to a big-banner Bollywood film is “unfair,” citing Akshay Kumar’s prolific yearly releases. But loyal fans were quick to counter, stating that Love Guru beats Housefull 5 not just in numbers, but in quality and authenticity.

Nausheen Shah Says Society Still Resists Women in Showbiz

Nausheen Shah

Despite it being 2025, a significant portion of Pakistani society still discourages women from pursuing careers in showbiz—at least, that’s what veteran actor Nausheen Shah firmly believes.

During a recent appearance on a local talk show, the Jaane Jahan actor openly expressed her concerns. “People still feel uncomfortable being associated with women who work in showbiz,” she said. “They aren’t just hesitant to know them—they’re hesitant to be related to them. Let me be clear on that.”

Nausheen argued that even though Pakistan’s entertainment industry continues to produce television dramas at a rapid pace, many people still consider it inappropriate for women to have such a visible public profile. According to her, this mindset creates major hurdles for women hoping to enter the field.

She explained, “Our job requires us to be in the public eye, and society finds it especially difficult to accept women in that position. That’s the root of the problem—our attitudes and beliefs.”

Expanding on the public discomfort surrounding women in the spotlight, she added, “People don’t want their daughters or daughters-in-law appearing on television in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. Many still think this way. Sometimes, even your own relatives—your uncles, your extended family—will ask, ‘What is this? Why are you doing this?’”

Nausheen shared that she too faced backlash from her own family when she began her acting career. “My mother was completely against it,” she revealed. “She was devastated. And honestly, this happens everywhere. It’s not unusual.”

Reflecting on her journey from modeling to acting, Nausheen credited her progress to her commitment to setting clear boundaries. “Knowing your limits is absolutely essential,” she said. “If you don’t, how will you survive? You have to make sure people understand where you stand—and if they don’t, then you need to take action.”

Despite the persistent stigma against women in media, and the added pressure of motherhood, Nausheen emphasized that both men and women face unique struggles in any career.

“A woman may naturally feel more responsibility for her children,” she noted. “And men show love in different ways. But in today’s world, I believe both men and women face their own challenges—equally.”

Nida Yasir Spotted Without Makeup — Internet Can’t Stop Talking

In an age dominated by glam and filters, Pakistani morning show host and actress Nida Yasir has taken the internet by storm — not with a designer look or TV appearance, but with a refreshingly raw and makeup-free outing.

Nida Yasir Candid Moment That Broke the Internet

A viral video captured Nida Yasir at a local cloth market in Karachi — dressed simply in a black suit with a black shawl and her hair tied back in a neat ponytail. What stunned netizens, however, wasn’t her attire, but her no-makeup face — a rare glimpse of the popular celebrity away from the glam and lights of morning television.

The moment was unfiltered, genuine, and utterly relatable. While some were surprised to see Nida in such a low-key avatar, many praised her for embracing her natural look and confidently engaging with vendors, even bargaining like any regular customer.

The Woman Behind the Showbiz Persona

Best known as the face of Good Morning Pakistan, Nida Yasir has long been admired for her charisma and vibrant hosting style. With a career that spans acting hits like Nadaniyan, Jannat, and more recently, the Eid telefilm Mulazim Online, she’s proven her versatility in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.

But beyond the screen, Nida is also a savvy entrepreneur, running a boutique clothing line that showcases her taste in fashion. Her market visit — hunting for fabrics herself — added a layer of authenticity to her fashion credentials.

Fans Applaud the Realness

Social media lit up with admiration for Nida’s grounded nature. Her 2.6 million Instagram followers had grown used to curated studio snapshots, but this real-life moment resonated on a whole new level. Many applauded her humility, grace, and confidence — proving once again that authenticity never goes out of style.

In a world obsessed with perfection, Nida Yasir’s no-makeup moment reminded us that sometimes, it’s the rawest versions of ourselves that shine the brightest.

Did Hania Aamir’s ‘Dua’ Break Asim Azhar & Merub Ali? Social Media Thinks So!

Asim Azhar and Merub Ali’s split has not only saddened fans but also dragged in an unexpected third party—none other than actress Hania Aamir. While the breakup was officially termed mutual and respectful, the internet, as always, had its own version of events—turning heartbreak into hilarity with meme-worthy theories and sharp-witted speculation.

Asim & Merub: A Love Story That Ran Out of Rhythm

Asim Azhar and Merub Ali were the golden couple of Pakistan’s entertainment world—three years of companionship, public engagement, family approval, and shared screen moments. But in a late-night social media post, Asim quietly dropped the news of their breakup. He described the decision as one reached with “mutual respect” and “deep consideration.” What followed, however, was not sympathy—but an unexpected meme storm.

Their Instagram unfollowing confirmed that the love story had truly ended. But fans were far from done dissecting it.

Hania Aamir: From Ex to Alleged Dua Wali Baji

Enter Hania Aamir. While Asim’s breakup was making headlines, Hania was peacefully performing Umrah with her family. But somehow, netizens found a mystical link between her spiritual journey and the sudden end of Asim and Merub’s relationship. And thus began the jokes.

One user hilariously wrote, “Lagta hai Salar ki tarah mangi thi dua”—a cheeky reference to the viral drama Ishq Murshid. Another joked, “Asim & Merub ka system hang krwa aayi Hania,” as if her presence at the Kaaba had magically rebooted Asim’s relationship. The memes spiraled on from there, with fans humorously suggesting that Hania’s “jis ne mujhe sataya woh khush na rahay” prayer finally bore fruit.

To be clear, Hania Aamir has had no involvement in the breakup—publicly or otherwise. Her history with Asim Azhar is well-known, having ended a few years back. Yet, their past relationship continues to haunt the digital landscape with every new development in their personal lives.

Whether it’s coincidence, cosmic timing, or just the internet’s never-ending imagination, Hania’s Umrah and Asim’s breakup collided to create a viral moment. But behind the memes, it’s a gentle reminder that real people live behind the headlines—and sometimes, they just need space, not speculation.
