Javeria Saud opens up about legal battle with Salma Zafar
Listen to article Actress, host, and producer Javeria Saud has broken her silence regarding her ongoing legal dispute with senior actress Salma Zafar, sharing details during her appearance on Express TV's recent Ramadan transmission. Javeria revealed that after Salma Zafar's allegations against her, she was compelled to seek legal action. She explained that, due to stricter laws, she was able to secure justice, as she had all the necessary evidence to support her case. This led to Salma Zafar receiving a six-month sentence in one case and a three-month sentence in another. Furthermore, Javeria mentioned that Salma Zafar later issued a written apology for her actions. Although going to court was a difficult decision, Javeria expressed that she took this step to set an example for others. In contrast, Salma Zafar had made several claims regarding the case, accusing Javeria Saud's production house of failing to make payments to senior actors, including Shabih Jan. Salma further alleged that Javeria Saud and Saud Qasmi had earned wealth at the expense of losing their honour. These claims were widely circulated in videos on social media.

You can't learn acting from your parents'
Shahzad Sheikh and Momal Sheikh, siblings from Pakistan's celebrated Sheikh family, have carved their own paths in the entertainment industry. As children of the legendary actor Javed Sheikh, they inherited a media legacy but also faced immense expectations. While Shahzad has delivered hits like Raaze Ulfat and Deeware Shab, Momal's standout performances in Mushk and Darrar have earned her acclaim. On Monday, the sibling duo appeared on a local channel's Ramazan transmission hosted by Danish Taimoor and Rabia Anam. In a candid conversation, they opened up about the challenges of being "star kids." Shahzad shared, "Being a celebrity's child has more negative impacts than positive ones. People expect so much because of your background. Yes, you might get a platform easily, but you can't learn acting from your parents. In the end, success depends on your own struggles." He credited his father for emphasising hard work and sustainability over chasing instant fame. "He gave me valuable tips for surviving in the industry," Shahzad added. Momal, on the other hand, revealed that acting wasn't always part of her plan. "I became an actor because of my husband, Nadir," she admitted. "A friend of his, Phoebe Haroon, offered me a sitcom role. Nadir encouraged me to audition, and I got selected. I asked him to talk to my father too because acting had never crossed my mind before." Despite their fame, both siblings pushed the importance of humility. Shahzad admitted, "I sometimes try to throw tantrums, but it's just not in my nature. I can't act arrogant or feel like I'm somebody special." Host Taimoor attributed this grounded attitude to their father, who remains a model of humility despite his success. A legendary actor, Javed has had a remarkable career with hits like Chief Saab and Na Maloom Afraad. On the same day, he opened up about his struggles and unwavering faith during Express TV's Ramazan transmission. "In 2000, Allah took everything from me," the veteran actor revealed. "All my films flopped, and I had no work. People said, 'Javed Sheikh is finished.'" Facing criticism and isolation, he could have fallen into despair but chose resilience instead. "I never stopped going to the studio. I would go, sit, and meet my friends." Javed attributed his survival to his strong belief in God. "I trusted His power. One day, a financier gave me PKR50 million for a film, which became a super hit," he said.
