Navin Waqar Discusses Heartbreak, Privacy, and Industry Reinvention

In a candid and introspective conversation on the Adnan Faisal Podcast, Navin Waqar explored the intricacies of her personal and professional life, providing fans with a rare glimpse into her thoughts and experiences.

Navin Waqar Opens Up On Relationships And Breakups

Navin began by sharing a profound insight into her emotional journey, expressing how her heartbreaks have shaped her. She revealed, My heart broke terribly, and when I put it back together, I took out a lot of things from it. Like, don’t trust everyone blindly…I do not have it in me to withstand tragedy. I’m a very sensitive person.”

She expressed, “When I have a disagreement with my friend, it feels like my world is ending until we reconcile. I struggle to sleep, experience nightmares, and grapple with the fear of losing that person. MashAllah, I’m fortunate to have such people in my life, the absence of whom I can’t fathom. After healing from a breakup, you remove things from your heart, such as trust. Now, you have to prove yourself to me because mere words are no longer effective.”

Additionally, Waqar also touched upon the evolving dynamics of relationships in today’s technologically driven world. She stressed the importance of authenticity, cautioning against the illusions presented on social media. “Our lives have become so technological. What you see on-screen or on Instagram, it’s not true…Leave filters, when people portray themselves as great, you don’t know how a person is in real life.”

Navin Waqar Talks About Marriage

Opening up about her views on marriage, Waqar highlighted the significance of character, stating, “Are they a good person or not?” She expressed concern about the superficial nature of modern relationships and the challenge of discerning authenticity in a digital age.

Discussing her single status, Waqar shared her contentment with being a self-proclaimed hermit. “My friends tease me and say that I can only find someone if I leave my house. I don’t leave home. I’m a hermit and I love it…You stay where you’re happy,” she quipped. While acknowledging her single status, Waqar stressed her belief in destiny and divine timing. “I believe that if something is written in your destiny, it will find you, one way or another. I’m not setting out to find it. If God has written someone in my destiny, it’ll happen…I’m looking, but I’m not looking.”

Privacy First

Despite her public persona, Waqar revealed her preference for privacy, especially regarding her personal life. “I like my privacy. I post about very few things, like work, working out, or pets. I think that it’s good if I engage people in a limited capacity. I don’t like sharing everywhere I go and everyone I meet,” she disclosed.

Khaled Anam Laments Decline in Muharram’s Sanctity

Veteran actor Khaled Anam openly criticized how people now commemorate the tragedy of Karbala, arguing that Muharram has lost its sanctity and become a commercial event.

Speaking on the Off The School podcast, Anam lamented the shift from tradition, saying, “When finances enter the equation, things take a different direction.” He pointed out that some people who forbid music have no issue adding drum machine beats to naats and nohas. “These are not tunes!” he stressed.

He noted that senior artists no longer guide juniors, and juniors, in turn, reject any mentorship. “They just say they’re earning millions on YouTube and know better,” he added. Anam criticized the current trend of stylized Muharram videos, saying, “This is not a film!”

Recalling the past, he praised the respectful tone of PTV’s Muharram programming, where presenters wore black sherwanis and maintained solemnity. He contrasted that with the current culture: “Karbala and Muharram have become just another event — like Ramazan transmissions — with albums released just for the occasion.”

He criticized record labels for dictating what naats get recorded and condemned the glamourization of mourning. “You can’t blow-dry your hair and wear full makeup to perform a noha with theatrical gestures,” he said, gesturing in frustration.

Summing up his views, Anam declared, “People need to make the occasion meaningful without losing its message. The sanctity has been lost.”

Saqib Sumeer Shares Chilling Encounter with a Jinn

Pakistani actor Saqib Sumeer shared the most terrifying experience of his life when he encountered a girl allegedly possessed by a jinn.

During a recent TV program, Saqib recalled how his casual friendship with two neighboring girls took a frightening turn. “I was living in a rented house when I became friends with two girls who lived next door. One day, they told me that a jinn would sometimes possess one of them,” he said.

Wanting to help, Saqib told them to call him whenever it happened. When the jinn returned, the girls contacted him. Concerned about gossip, Saqib invited them to his house instead of going to theirs.

As the possession began, Saqib described how the girl’s hair covered her face and she made strange noises. Frightened, he began silently reciting Surah An-Naas — until the jinn looked at him and said, “Stop reciting.” The chilling moment left him trembling.

Despite his fear, Saqib stayed calm and continued supporting the girls through the ordeal. “It was the scariest moment of my life — something I’ll never forget,” he said.
