sarah

In an interview with PTI, Sarah Khan, who recently expressed her desire to explore opportunities in Bollywood and has a unique dream co-star in mind, praised Hindi cinema and mentioned a few favourites along the way.

The actor emphasized the significant fan following that Bollywood has, expressing her eagerness to work in the industry.

Sarah Khan’s Admirations for Bollywood and Deepika

Sarah shared, “For any actor, working in another space is a big deal, so it will be great if I get to work in Bollywood. I would love to. I feel half of my audience is in India, and the other half is in Pakistan. Who is not a fan of Bollywood?” She admired Deepika Padukone and her initial career aspiration to work with Salman Khan.

Sarah Khan’s Suggestions for Her Audience

Talking about her show, in which she co-stars alongside Bilal Abbas Khan, Sarah stated, “I wanted my audience to see Abdullapur Ka Devdas and my portrayal of Gul Bano. It’s an old-school love story set in modern times. It’s about two people who fall in love through letters.” She added, “Audiences in both India and Pakistan love beautiful love stories. We both love ‘shayari’ and a story of love rooted culturally,”

Shedding light on the reasons behind the popularity of Pakistani shows in India, Sarah offered, “These are stories that more or less are happening in our homes and in our neighbourhoods. So people from both countries can relate to it. Our actors are known for their natural acting. Hence the audience feels connected to them.”

She also highlighted the evolving landscape of Pakistani serials, noting a departure from traditional “hero-heroine centric plots.” She highlighted the industry’s shift towards narratives beyond love stories featuring attractive protagonists. According to her, contemporary Pakistani serials explore more diverse and nuanced storytelling, moving away from conventional tropes.

During her school days, Sarah had aspirations of becoming a singer. However, her entry into acting happened by chance. While interacting with individuals from a local television network while recording one of her songs, she unexpectedly received an offer for her debut drama, Badi Appa. Initially taking the opportunity during school holidays, Sarah soon realized the significant responsibilities of acting.

Jawad Ahmad Calls Society’s Tolerance of Profanity ‘Dangerous’

Jawad Ahmad

Singer-turned-politician Jawad Ahmad raised concerns about society’s growing tolerance for vulgarity and profanity.

He recalled his upbringing, saying, “In the household I grew up in, using curse words was unthinkable—whether on my mother’s side or my father’s.” Jawad explained that both of his parents, being educators, taught him respect, and he never heard foul language in his family.

Defining profanity, the Hamain Tum Se Pyar Hai singer said it includes using hateful or false labels to insult someone, such as calling them something they are clearly not—like comparing them to an animal.

He added that curse words also include vulgar references to body parts, misogynistic insults directed at mothers or sisters, or hateful remarks about someone’s caste, appearance, or profession. “Such language isn’t just rude—it targets a person’s character in a senseless way,” Jawad emphasized.

Jawad Ahmad and His Music

Jawad Ahmad rose to fame with his solo song Allah Meray Dil Kay Ander, which reflected his deep interest in Sufism.

Although he never received formal training in music, he writes and composes most of his own songs. He takes inspiration from a wide range of musical legends, including Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, Mehdi Hassan, Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, Tufail Niazi, Pathanay Khan, Hamid Ali Bela, Madam Noor Jehan, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Kishore Kumar, the Eagles, Elvis Presley, and Mohammed Rafi.

To date, Jawad Ahmad has made his mark in the music industry with three solo albums and several drama OSTs.
