Mansha Pasha Criticizes Pakistanis for ‘Lack of Self-Respect’ Following Javed Akhtar’s Remarks

Actor Mansha Pasha has strongly criticized Pakistanis for their continued reverence of Indian celebrities, despite repeated instances of condescension, following fresh remarks by Indian lyricist Javed Akhtar about cross-border artistic exchanges.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the Laal Kabootar star shared a news post highlighting Akhtar’s controversial statements. She recalled a 2023 event in Pakistan where, even after Akhtar’s disparaging comments about the country, Pakistani elites were seen sitting at his feet at a party hosted in his honor. Pasha remarked that the real problem lies within Pakistanis themselves, pointing out a serious need for greater self-respect and self-worth.
Her comments come as a reaction to Akhtar’s latest interview with the Press Trust of India (PTI), where he justified the exclusion of Pakistani artists from Indian projects. He described cultural exchange as a “one-way traffic,” emphasizing how legends like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mehdi Hassan, and Ghulam Ali had performed in India, while Indian icons like Lata Mangeshkar were allegedly blocked from performing in Pakistan. Citing the recent Pahalgam attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir, Akhtar stated that the current political climate is unsuitable for any artistic collaboration.
Akhtar further claimed that Pakistani artists who work in India only end up serving the interests of Pakistan’s military and religious hardliners by highlighting the freedoms enjoyed by Indian citizens, freedoms he argues are denied to many in Pakistan. His comments have reignited debates about cross-border relations, especially in light of reports that Pakistani star Fawad Khan’s upcoming Bollywood film Abir Gulaal might not be released in India.
Mansha Pasha’s response underlines a broader frustration among Pakistani artists and audiences. Despite years of hostility and barriers from across the border, many Pakistanis continue to idolize Indian cultural figures without receiving comparable respect in return. Her remarks signal a rising call for introspection and a demand for Pakistanis to assert their dignity on the global cultural stage.

The Evil Eye Took a Toll on My Family: Nida Yasir

The morning show queen and beloved TV personality Nida Yasir has revealed how the evil eye — a concept often brushed off in modern circles — silently crept into her life and affected her family in profound ways.
Known for her radiant personality and infectious energy, Nida has been a household name for nearly two decades. Hosting ARY Digital’s morning show for 16 years, producing popular films and dramas like Chakkar, Mehrunissa V Lub U, Wrong Number, and Nadaniyan, and building an Instagram following of 2.6 million, Nida Yasir has long lived life in the public eye. But now, she’s reflecting on how that very openness may have come with an unseen cost.
During a heartfelt conversation, Nida candidly shared how her children repeatedly fell ill whenever she shared their pictures online. “It’s almost like clockwork,” she said. “Every time I posted their photos, they would get sick. It stopped me in my tracks. That’s when I realized what the evil eye truly means.” Her reflection wasn’t rooted in superstition, but in a pattern she couldn’t ignore. “It’s tried and tested,” she added. “Now I understand why people cover their kids’ faces with emojis. I used to wonder—but not anymore.”
Even today, as she marked her 23rd wedding anniversary with Yasir Nawaz, Nida cautiously prayed for protection from negative energies while sharing a celebratory reel. Married for over two decades and raising three children, the couple has often been seen as an ideal showbiz pair. But behind the glitz and glam, Nida admits, “I have always worn my heart on my sleeve. I love sharing my happiness—with my friends, my viewers, and even strangers. That’s just who I am. But sometimes, even pure joy needs protection.”
Her revelation resonates with many in the entertainment industry and beyond, including actress Beena Chaudhary, who confessed that posting pictures with her husband often led to unexpected arguments on the same day.

HSY Defends Fawad Khan Against On-going Criticism

Fawad Khan is among the biggest stars of Pakistan. He has given many hit projects to Pakistan before he shited focus on his Bollywood career. HSY on the other hand is one of the biggest designers and actors of Pakistan and he is friends with Fawad. Recently Fawad is going through a lot of criticism. It all started with the star promoting his upcoming Indian film Abir Gulaal which then got shelved after the Pahalgam Attacks.
Fawad Khan who never makes any political remarks condemned the attacks. Later on a war started between the two countries and after remaining silent, Fawad shared his side in a measured way as to not offend either side. This made Pakistani people criticize him more as he did not openly support Pakistan. HSY just spoke to journalist Ambreen Fatima and she asked his opinion on the criticism on Fawad Khan.
HSY defended Fawad Khan as he shared that Fawad is a great friend of his. No one can actually tell what is going on in someone’s heart but he knows how big a patriot Fawad is and how much he loves his country.
HSY further added that he also understands where people are coming from. We were all very angry after India’s attack and since people make stars who they are, they feel stars are a part of their lives. They expected more to come from their favourite actor which might not have come. He cannot say anything about if Fawad Khan was pressurized or not as he does not have those details. He knows Fawad and knows he is patriotic but he also understands people’s feelings and criticism.

Nadia Jamil Reveals She Waited 15 Years to Meet Her Soulmate

In a world of swipe-right romances and headline-making divorces, Nadia Jamil steps in as a refreshing reminder of what lasting love truly looks like. On Friday, the actor and activist took to X (formerly Twitter) with a heartfelt post that unfolded like a Bollywood film—full of soul, wisdom, and zero theatrics.
“We were 14 and 15,” she wrote, diving into a teenage love story that nearly didn’t survive family objections, long-distance hurdles, and a global pandemic. She described herself as an “emotional romantic artist” from a liberal home, while he was a “stoic finance whizz kid” from a conservative family. All parents disapproved. But love persisted.
Nadia waited 15 years to marry him—longer than many celebrity marriages last. When they finally wed, their union began a journey defined by resilience, shared challenges, and slow, steady growth.
“The marriage itself is such a story,” she shared. “It’s had its ups and downs. We are both strong personalities, but we both held on.”
True to her honest and graceful style, Nadia didn’t gloss over the hard parts. She recounted the strain of living apart—she in Cambridge with the kids, he in Lahore supporting family. Cancer, grief, financial setbacks, and parenting from different continents tested their bond. But those trials also brought them closer.
To Nadia, the real secret is respect—being flexible, growing emotionally, and holding space for each other’s evolution.
And the love story continues: their eldest son is now engaged, and Nadia is proudly stepping into the role of mother-in-law to a “fantastic young woman.”
Now mentoring other couples, Nadia draws from her own experience. Her advice? Marry your best friend—the one who grows with you, learns with you, and stays when things get tough.
