Dramas in Pakistan have a lot of variety when it comes to the
concept. They are rightly touted to be the mirrors of the society we live in.
While the industry is catching up on social issues that society faces, it has
also been conscious of people with physical disabilities. There have been
instances when makers have not only dealt with the subject of disability with
sensitivity and compassion but also have been very instrumental in changing the
perception of the people and society as a whole towards them. 7th Sky
Entertainment’s latest endeavor ‘Khoob Seerat’ is a prime example. Directed by
Ali Akbar ‘Khoob Seerat’ features Kiran Haq, Agha Ali, Nimra Khan & Kamran
Jilani in pivotal roles.
Let’s divulge the gist of the story; ‘Khoob Seerat’ narrates the
story of sweet and innocent girl Dilkash (Kiran Haq). She is self-sacrificing
and struggles with a walking defect that reduces the chances of her marriage.
No one admires her qualities or tries to look into her beautiful soul;
resultantly, she faces rejection. Dilkash and her parents suffer badly from the
hypocrisy of society. Her best friend Mahira (Nimra Khan), is in love with
Samar (Agha Ali), the man Dilkash loves. Dilkash finds happiness and joy with
them while suffering silently. Her father finally fixes her wedding with his
brother’s son, who is also his business partner. Things further take an ugly
turn when her wedding is called off as the groom refuses to marry her due to
her limp defect. She is heartbroken but recovers from it soon.
Samar’s mother doesn’t approve of his relationship with Mahira.
Both their families lock horns, tragedy strikes, and Mahira is forced to get
married to Wajahat (Kamran Jilani). Samar attempts to commit suicide; he fails
and gets a new life. Dilkash helps Samar in recovering from his loss; he soon
finds a job and gets on track. Life isn’t a bed of roses for Dilkash as her
sister-in-law starts creating problems for her and doesn’t let go of any
opportunity to bring her down. She tries to portray her relationship with Samar
in a bad light and succeeds. Samar realizes the fact of how she stood by him
like a rock through thick and thin. He sends her a marriage proposal, which is
turned down by her father. The reason behind the refusal is Dilkash herself
because she feels Samar only loves Mahira and won’t be able to forget her
throughout his life. She tells Samar that we are friends and will continue to
be. It would be interesting to see how Dilkash deals with the situation; will
she find someone worthy enough to get married?
‘Khoob Seerat’ never fails to involve and entertain the viewers،; it contains enough good material to hold one’s attention. The emotional component is well balanced with a twist and tension-filled moments, and of course, some razor-sharp and punch-packed dialogue in dramatic sequences [penned by Shakeel Arsalan]. It’s the emotional journey of the protagonist that acts as a hook and lingers in your memory. On the whole, ‘Khoob Seerat’ is a gripping watch, leaving the viewers rooting for more. With excellent writing, great directions, and great performances, we are eagerly waiting as to what will happen next?

7th Sky Entertainment has once again given us an
intriguing drama that has all of us hooked to our screens. Starring Neelum
Muneer as Rida, and Imran Ashraf as Zeeshan, ‘Kahin Deep Jalay’ shows stunning
love chemistry between the two most loved actors of small screen, and how their
lives will get disrupted because of Rida’s sister in law, Shameela played by
Nazish Jahangir.
Kahin Deep Jalay is a phenomenal story about love, jealousy,
and trust. It truly represents the idea that those who are not happy for you are
not happy for themselves. Shameela has loving people around her, and she gets married
in a very rich family, yet her complexities have blinded her to the extent that
she thinks ill of everyone else. For her, she comes first and everything should
always be about her.
So far, 10 episodes have aired and each episode has progressed
towards the story plot at a very good pace, keeping the viewers’ interest. Rida
is the only sister of her three brothers who love her dearly. For such a loving
sister, comes a sister in law who is so jealous of the love Rida is receiving
that she starts playing the blame game, trying to prove Rida as an ill
charactered girl.
Shameela is so blinded by her thoughts of jealousy that she
shamefully confronts Rida, telling her to stop acting innocent and stop
flirting with boys. Shameela thinks Rida gets everyone’s attention because she
uses her beauty to woo everyone, but she fails to see that everyone loves her
because of her sweet nature.
The drama has thickened the plot by introducing another
antagonist, Farhan in episode 10 who has been sending messages about Rida on
her brother’s phone. Something tells us that Farhan is going to play a pivotal
role in the episodes to come and he may become the right hand of Shameela in
her evil plans.
Where all of this is happening in the drama, we have Zeeshan
who has fallen in love with Rida, sends a marriage proposal to her house, but
gets rejected.
We love how the story give us moments of relief through Zeeshan’s
dream about Rida where the two can be seen in love with each other. With love
in their eyes, the small romantic clips between Rida and Zeeshan are portrayed
beautifully and give us the much-needed timeout from the negativity spread by
Shameela.
Kahin Deep Jalay is at a very exciting turn as Zeeshan’s
proposal for Rida is getting another chance, and we are hoping to see the love
chemistry between the two.

7th Sky Entertainment’s
grand production “Ramz e Ishq”, starring powerhouse performers Mikaal Zulfiqar,
Kiran Haq and Hiba Bukhari in lead roles, has us hooked since the very first
episode. With Ramz-e-Ishq, Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi have brought a
special and rare drama with mind blowing cinematography.
Directed by Siraj-ul-Haq, the drama revolves around the love trio of three youngsters; Roshni, Rayaan and Rania, belonging to a modern-day Nawab family. Their lives are connected with their parent’s past which has set the dynamics of their present relationships.
The latest episode was an emotional roller coaster. Rayaan made sure to expose the culprit who had done all the scheming against Roshni and had blamed the innocent girl for robbing off the khandani jewelry. Turned out, it was Rania who had done the conniving in her hate for Roshni. In the end, due to Saffiya Aapa’s on point melodrama, the matter stayed between Rayaan, Ayesha, and Saffiya and did not go to Nawab Hashmat Al; the head of the family. Luckily, Rania got saved from cruel punishment.
On the other hand, Nawab Hashmat Ali
has finalized the date of Rania and Rayaan’s engagement ceremony without taking
consent of the duo’s parents, let alone the duo. Though, Rayaan clearly tells
Rania that he was never interested in marrying her and breaks all her hopes.
Moreover, Umer has landed himself in
hot waters by daring to betray Nawab Hashmat Ali and it seems that he won’t be
spared. We could clearly sense the fury in Nawab Hashmat Ali’s eyes on finding
out that Umar has flown to Dubai, without informing them. Umar & Roshni’s
divorce still remains a secret for the Nawabs, other than Rayaan who was an eye
witness to it and he is trying to tackle the matter very sensibly.
Undoubtedly, Mikaal Zulfiqar has
essayed Rayaan’s role with perfection, making us fall in love with his
character. His maturity, sensible decision making and charming looks is what
made him steal the show. The way he is trying to help Roshni with the miseries
that fate has landed her into is very kind and impressing.
Well, we are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming episodes to find out what fate has in store for Roshni & Rayaan. Will their childhood dream of being together for life come true? Or will Rayaan give in to Hashmat Ali’s pressure of marrying Rania as per his decision?
One of the most anticipated dramas of this season has to be the Imran Ashraf and Neelam Muneer starrer Kahin Deep Jalay which began last week on a positive note and with its second episode having aired just now, we like how the family saga is unfolding in front of our eyes.
Written by Qaisera Hayat, her name along with producers
Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi of 7th Sky Entertainment is enough
to guarantee the audience that the story is well developed and will contain
meaningful twists and turns which will keep everyone hooked to it right till
the very end.
With the first episode having introduced us to Zeeshan
essayed by Imran who has faced a major setback in life, the second episode further
explained as to why he became penniless despite belonging to a rich background.
A beautiful tale of deceit and greed, Imran Ashraf impressed us with his stellar performance in every scene. Though the one where he shined the brightest was when he along with his mother played by Saba Hamid is brought to his uncle’s home and despite having zero money in his pocket maintains, he says he will not let this set him back in life but will work harder to regain the position he has lost.
Where we saw Zeeshan becoming a little stable, Rida
played by Neelam Muneer is lost in her world of family relations and friends where
she is leading a secure life but with some moments she shared with her friend’s
brother played by Ali Ansar, we realize that Rida is not someone easily
impressed by men.
Over-all it was an entertaining episode, we like how
along with showing the love which siblings share it also focuses on the fact as
to how everything can finish within a second.
With Nazish Jahangir playing a cunning role, we honestly
can’t wait to see the third episode of Kahin Deep Jalay which we hope will
allow us to see Imran and Neelam in one frame. As so far, the duo is yet to
meet and fall in love.
A good second episode, we look forward to watching the drama every Thursday night.
Wahaj Ali Stands out With His Exceptional Performance in “Ehd-e-Wafa”
Wahaj Ali has acclaimed a lot of fame in a short span of time because of his tremendous acting skills and his ability to ace different kinds of roles. Currently starring in one of the most anticipated dramas of this year, Ehd-e-Wafa, Wahaj has been outshining with his spot-on acting in the serial.
Directed by Saife Hassan, written by Mustafa Afridi, and produced by ISPR and Momina Duraid Productions, the serial has garnered a significant fan following. The strong bond of friendship of four friends in college (Saad, Shahzain, Shariq, and Shehryaar, played by Ahad Raza Mir, Osman Khalid Butt, Wahaj Ali, and Ahmed Ali Akbar respectively) and the fun friendship dynamics play a big role in the drama getting critical acclaim and praise.
The first three episodes that have aired till now focused mainly on introducing the characters and the fun-filled reckless adventures of these four friends, who call themselves the Special S Gang (SSG). They escape the hostel and get past the restrictions just to get some fun and food outside. All the friends bring a new element to the drama- but the character that stands out the most is Shariq, who has a lot of different dimensions to his character. Translated wonderfully on-screen by Wahaj Ali, he has managed to stand out among the ensemble cast. He shares amazing on-screen chemistry with the rest of the actors, making it a treat to watch for the audience.
In all three episodes, Wahaj Ali made his presence felt amongst more senior artists. His character Shariq has a lot of shades; he is a sensible and caring boy, but at the same time he also has a comic side to his personality and Wahaj has translated Shariq’s character on screen impeccably. His solid performance in last night’s episode left a great impression, especially the scenes in which he was worried about the consequences of Saad getting caught and later when his sister was beating him because of the complaint she had received about him. While watching Wahaj getting beaten by his sister and apologizing for what he did, his expressions were so on-point that we could actually feel our heartbreaking for him. The episode ended with him hugging his sister as both of them cried, and it surely touched our hearts, watching Wahaj Ali crying and trying to make his sister understand what had happened wasn’t his fault.
The drama has just begun and there is a lot left in this journey. Looking forward to what turn the story will take from here, and what Wahaj Ali has in store for us, because his performance has surely raised the bar high in this drama.
We always look for that store or shop who offers great variety and amazing discounts on most of their products. Chase Up is one of those stores which we always look for. They are working since 1984, from a family-owned business to 6 stores in Karachi, 1 store in Multan and 1 store in Faisalabad. The latest addition to this legacy is the store in the Gujranwala, which is launched on this 27 September.
Chase is selling a wide variety of clothing, footwear, Groceries, housewares, ladies fabrics, and health and beauty products to name a few. Chase Up plans to open more stores in Karachi and throughout the country in order to touch more and more customers every day with its ever-expanding range of quality foods at highly affordable prices, which is another great news.
During the major occasions (i-e Eid Celebrations, Birthdays, Ramazan and New Year) in the country, Chase Up offers amazing discounts to their customers.
One of the best point about Chase Up is, they also have a policy in which you can return to replace or refund. I don’t think most of the stores do this offer to their customers.
Chase up falls into the category of Hypermarket/Quality discounting in the retail sector. As already mentioned, chase up is opened its store in the Gujranwala, the city is situated in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. This is the biggest shopping center in the city.
In the inaugural ceremony, the CEO of the Chase up Mr. Salman Bashir, Jawad Bashir, Mustafa Bashir, Muhammad Rehan, Rao Jameel, Azhar Baig, and Syed Saim was present. On an opening day Chase up Gujranwala offered a discount of 15% to their customers, which bring whole Gujranwala to the chase up to avail this amazing discount.
That was the moment when gates were opened at the Gujranwala
RPO Gujranwala inaugurated the store, praised the Chase Up building and the store’s high-quality items. This store is located at the main GT Road, Gujranwala.
Hoga Saaf Pakistan’s Strong Presence at the Climate March Played a Key Role in its Success
The world is under great pressure considering the global climate change that is about to sabotage the habitat of 8 billion people. To bring the consequences into consideration of those who have been ignoring this for too long, people from across 26 cities in Pakistan joined the narrative and raised their voices against the ongoing climate crisis. A hundred banners were held up in a crowd with slogans which included “Mil kay lagayen gay jaan tou hoga saaf Pakistan” and “The climate crisis won’t wait, so neither will we.” The attendees shared their stories about the result of global warming and then marched on one of the sides of the busy Abdullah Haroon Road.
Karachi, being a coastal city, has become progressively aware
of the change in weather conditions. Since 2015, it has experienced the
deadliest heat wave resulting in about 1,200 deaths. With the climate crisis
