'Not entertainment but dangerous storytelling'

In an Instagram Story shared on Monday, actor and model Aymen Saleem questioned the excessive display of abuse in local dramas. "Enough is enough. I'm deeply disturbed by the way a recent drama is portraying abuse — tying up a woman with ropes, showing it in a romantic or a bold light, and then normalising it as part of a love story. This isn't entertainment. It's dangerous storytelling," Aymen stated. She added that such plotlines can have detrimental effects in a country that's plagued with women's issues, including patriarchy, emotional and physical abuse, and societal pressure. "Media has the power to either reinforce or challenge these toxic norms. Dramas should offer relief, empowerment, and progress, not drag us back into justifying harm in the name of love," she said. The Chupke Chupke actor believes that Pakistani television has made strides in depicting "strong, self-aware female leads and breaking generational curses", which is what prompted her to question, "Why are we slipping back?" Aymen's insights are relevant to an industry that produces stories that often stem from strong grounds of morality and depart with positive takeaways. That is why, she believes, such uncensored violence against women has a negative impact. Adding a note to her showbiz peers, she said, "To the writers, producers, channels, and especially the actors: you have influence. People look up to you. Please choose your scripts and stories responsibly. This is not just fiction. This shapes culture." When it comes to her presence on social media, Aymen isn't afraid to speak her mind, whether it is to defend herself or others. In February, she penned a long note unleashing her frustration at netizens taking offence over wedding photos shared by then-newlyweds Kubra Khan and Gohar Rasheed. "The unnecessary moral policing that happens every time someone dares to live their life on their own terms is honestly exhausting," she said. The Paristan actor became well-acquainted with judgemental comments and 'moral policing' after posting pictures of her maternity shoot last November - a decision that raised concerns amongst netizens about her desire to follow 'Western' culture. In this instance, however, Aymen's anger stemmed from a place of empathy as she segued into Kubra and Gohar's wedding celebrations. "No one gets to question someone else's sincerity or faith based on how they choose to celebrate their joy," Aymen wrote. "Faith is personal. Celebration is personal. If you can't find it in yourself to be happy for others, the least you can do is mind your own business."

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan brushes off criticism, calls himself 'the best singer'

Listen to article Social media personality and self-styled singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has responded strongly to criticism of his music and persona, describing himself as "the best singer" and dismissing critics as jealous. This is not the first time Khan has claimed that others are jealous of him. He reiterated that Pakistani singers, musicians, and anchors are envious of his success. Speaking on a recent local television programme, Khan said many people in the music industry refuse to accept him. 'They don't consider me a singer, and that's fine—I know who I am,' he said.

"I create my own music and don't care whether people consider me a singer or not," he remarked. Khan rose to fame through offbeat, self-produced music videos and performances that quickly went viral. His song Bado Badi drew widespread attention—and criticism—which he addressed directly. He insisted his version of the song is completely different from the original. 'Neither Noor Jehan nor Mumtaz gained fame because of the original Bado Badi,' he said. 'Everyone is doing unnecessary 'chaan chaan'. My song is meant for women and is totally unique.'

'I'm doing what makes me happy,' he concluded. 'Those who criticise me can keep doing so. It doesn't affect me at all.' Amid the recent Pakistan-India tensions in May, Khan also released a new patriotic song titled Meray Watan Meray Chaman as a tribute to national spirit and unity. The track was released on May 14 via his official YouTube and Instagram accounts.

Saeed proud of weightlifter Sybil Sohail's gold medal

Farhan Saeed, former frontman of the renowned Pakistani band Jal and now a singer-songwriter and actor, took to Instagram to publicly express his pride after Sybil Sohail became the first Pakistani woman to win the gold medal at the Asian Weightlifting Masters Championship in Doha, Qatar. In a simple Instagram Story, Saeed tagged Sohail herself and wrote, "Proud moment. Congratulations." Adding a Pakistani flag emoji at the end of his short but sweet message to lock in his national pride, Saeed's simple message captured the essence of the country's joy and pride in Sohail's achievement. This was not the first time Saeed has used his social media platform to highlight Pakistani sporting excellence. When javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem clinched gold at the Asian Athletics Championship by defeating a strong Indian contender in the men's javelin final in May, Saeed took to Instagram Story to extend his congratulations on the historic victory. Sohail, 31, competed in the 59kg weight category in Doha. She lifted a total of 95kg — 40kg in the snatch and 55kg in the clean and jerk — to secure her place at the top of the podium. This gold medal marked not only her debut in international weightlifting but also a significant milestone for Pakistani women in strength sports. Previously a decorated powerlifter, Sohail holds titles such as Commonwealth Powerlifting Champion and Asian Commonwealth Powerlifting Champion. Transitioning to weightlifting, she set out with a clear ambition: to raise Pakistan's flag at major Asian events. "I aim to make my country proud, make my family proud. We have sacrificed a lot for the sport, but I need to make sure that all of that effort and dedication pays off," Sohail told The Express Tribune in Doha.
