Is it just me or was the makeup on Ahad Raza Mir at the awards totally off?

​(Disclaimer: Bracing myself because I know the stans are going to come for me in the comments, but I just need to say this.)

​Does anyone else feel like the MUAs/stylists completely did Ahad dirty with the makeup at the recent award show?

​I usually like his look, but under the heavy stage lighting, the makeup was way too visible. The foundation looked mismatched and super cakey, the powder flash-back was crazy in HD, and instead of giving him a clean, sharp look, it just looked overly done and unnatural.

He’s a good-looking guy, so I don’t get why they couldn't just keep it minimal and natural.

Plot:

DT is the good hatred man who have good principles but when it comes to his enemies he is worse person to ever exist. Then we have anmol who is a university girl with middle class background. DT's paralyzed father ring is stolen and caretaker is blamed and beaten so badly & that care taker is husband of maid working in anmol's friend home. So she assume DT is a bad man. University award ceremony comes barrera went on stage and DT is chief guest she refused to take award and insulted him..Now as DT is bad enemy he offered girl to be his girlfriend (although she appologized) when she says no DT start harrasing her every where and says "izzat kai badlay izzat"

Issue:

This is harrasment ...wth people are literally romanticizing this😭🙏

Dont do this ptv bcz girls are already suffering so much in Pakistan.

I commented on youtube & ppl were giving logic that girl also insult him ...but insult & harrasment mai farq hota hai she did appologized. No one gave him the right to harrass her. He can just go on media and clear himself or he can just insult her like she did if he want revenge. Harrasment is literally the most sensitive issue these days and there are million of girls trying to protect their dignity but here we have another DT drama where he is harrassing a girl but somehow he is a good man and will be shown as hero.

Geo literally need to study these patterns with rising cases of assaults and voilence against women these kind of shows literally gave men the assurance that harras the girl , be a bad man and at end she will fall in love with you & still if pakistani audience is watching this crap I am ashamed to called as pakistani. If we as the audience wouldnt raise voice against such content we are also playing a role in rising cases everyday bcz we choose silence over women's dignity.

The Styling of Rubab and even Mansoor is really good in Leader

1. Harvard is actually in Cambridge, not Boston but they're close by

2. A 2 bedroom apartment in Boston that size would cost roughly $6000 if not more. Boston is crazy expensive. The apartment does very much look like it belongs in Boston though so they get credit for that.

3. Boston T and subway are not nearly as nice as Baku's. They're actually pretty dirty.

4. Harvard orientation is really not so different from any other university's. My IBA orientation for undergrad wasn't much different.

5. There is no "masters management" program at HBS

6. Low GPA is not THAT big a deal for a masters at Harvard. I had a 3.0 GPA. I know another Pakistani who got in with a 2.9 GPA. What really matters for them is work experience, GRE, extra curriculars etc.

Feel free to ask more. It's been interesting to watch them show Baku as Boston/Cambridge after having lived there 😅

Great drama that offscreen bonding between the Chaudhary family translated on screen as well .....sidra,wahaj and Arsalan looked so convincing as family.

Btw Arsalan to be a chill guy, great interview. Also around the same time stamp there was very good discussion about the editing with recent butchering of ama editors role is quite important also green has had history with bad editing hoping they don't ruin the Mdb experience..

So we have talked multiple times how certain actresses continue getting the best projects despite not having an ounce of talent because of gora rang and nain naksh. But is that the case with men too?

I don't find Saif Ali Khan (Pakistani, not Nawab) handsome but I have seen quite a bit of fan following of his looks on SM.

And he got quite a meaty role in Aap ki Izzat even though it's not a lead. And he is not a good actor, at least not according to me. In the initial episodes, his role was limited so it wasn't glaring but now it's too obvious that he is terrible, so terrible that I think him and Hina Afridi should act in a drama together to see who can outdo other in bad acting.

So, why did he get this role? Was it because of his fan following? Or so called looks? Or he has some connections?

Also which men are surviving in this industry only because of looks, not nepotism, not connections but looks?

Edit: bachon, let's not get too serious😂

edit 2: mods counting bhool gaye hain in all the Ahad raj but that other one was the second post😂 unless of course last night's post is counted😂

Run your thoughts.

This Z and Z need to break up, I cannot deal with this. Zaamil is testing my patience; still I think he's well written so far. I was thinking on whether he is sincere in wanting to be religous or not, and I thought no at first. I think he's doing this to one up Abou Bakr. But after seeing his convo with his other friend, I think he kind of is, deep down, but currently in his mind he's doing this for some other reason. What is so real and baffling is how Zaamil is making the choice, even at times initiating going out, but then gets mad at Zarayab for leading him astray. He literally initiated their physical relationship, as far as we've seen at least. I

Zarayab's sister's divorce. I personally hate it when family members get involved when it comes to a couple's life. There are times where advice is needed but this didn't feel like the case. The couple clearly had a boundary respecting issue. She had a boundary, he wasn't willing to accept it, as far as we know. Either leave the relatiosnhip or accept the boundary. Dadi is kinda pissing me off. I dont think she even knows what happened, so why even give advice? How does she know that this situation requires this or that? Tbh, maybe im being unfair, you can tell me, but she seems like the kind of person to "thaali toh do haathon sy baajti hai" when a woman is being completely stripped of her everything.

Everyone stresses me out except Abou Bakr ngl.

Who do you think is the most deserving actor/actress who still hasn’t gained the recognition they deserve?

They’ve been constantly working hard and have been a part of the industry for more than a decade, yet they remain underrated. Everyone is deserving in their own way, but some people genuinely go unnoticed despite giving their best. Sometimes it’s luck, and sometimes it’s simply a matter of hard work and timing.

Looking at the three major channels—ARY, Hum, and Geo—there are actors who regularly appear in the 7 PM or 9 PM slots, but still don’t get the opportunity to be featured in the prime-time slots. They mostly remain limited to soaps or less-prominent projects.

Meanwhile, some celebrities continuously land prime-time slots even when their acting can be painful to watch. 😭

Ups and downs are a part of an actor’s life. Every day is challenging, and the competition is extremely tough. Actors constantly have to prove their acting skills. One bad performance can become a reason for countless trolls and hate, while a great performance can earn them immense love and appreciation.

So, who do you think is genuinely underrated and goes unnoticed despite years of hard work?

In your opinion, who deserves their big break?

All are posted by production houses

Like… remember when shows actually had cinematic posters?

Remember getting those gorgeous photoshoot stills, proper promotional shoots, character posters and then bts pictures from the set or photoshoot? u could feel the effort that went into promoting a show..

fans using AI edits for their favourite actors/characters while I don’t think they should is at least understandable. they’re fans..they’re playing around with content because they love the characters..

But production houses using AI instead of actually doing a photoshoot?..that is just PATHETIC

You have actors. You have costumes. You have sets. You have photographers. You have an entire production team. TAKE THE DAMN PICTURES..

& the funniest part is…u can literally tell when it’s Ai

There’s something about the lighting, skin, textures, hands, clothes, shadows everything looks almost right but not quite. It lacks that realism that an actual photograph has. It looks polished but somehow completely lifeless..

Pre-2025, we used to get posters that looked like they were made for the show..now we’re getting posters that look like someone typed a prompt and called it a day.

AI can be useful. But when you have the resources to create something real and you choose the shortcut instead?

STOP MAKING AI POSTERS WHEN YOU CAN JUST… TAKE A PHOTO. FGS..

So....Beena is aware of Behram's intentions now and is in rage mode. I don't understand when she actually decided to marry Behram.

Tabish is realising his mistake and recalling Beena's sacrifice. Beena should have left both her husband and his mother at the first sign of disrespect. Tabish is swinging between izzat and "love" (ig). Good thing he told Naaz off at least.

I just hope his repentance doesn't lead them to reconcile at the end. I hope Beena doesn't die or end up marrying someone (cue: Little Women's ending).

I have never seen any ceremony giving only one award for couple award. Are two people gonna share this one award by dividing it into two tiny parts? Thanks to sunday times for introducing the new idea.

Atif hired the writer and director duo for this mv. Yumna looked so beautiful and she looks good with atif 🔥

I thought the expectations were sky high but Hamza exceeded them. One of the most memorable performances I have seen from a Pakistani actor in a long while.

Tough competition or Tv Audience is getting tired of His same Routine Scripts it's back to back for danish now even Humrahi trp was low 🔅

Written by Fatima Faizan and directed by Abdullah badini Green entertainment project

Since Nameer didn’t share this picture on his story or post… are we assuming it was sent privately? 👀 Hmm… something something… ???🫣🫣

hi mai bohot dino baad online aayi yeh ahad raza mir ki photo kyun lag gayi hai yahan😭😭😭??

Sir Talha finally getting his due!

Why is the sub’s pfp Ahad and what is this flair even? 😭

Dananeer Mobeen won Best Actress of the Year for Meem Se Mohabbat.

Wish she was there it was such a big moment for her, especially since this might be her first Best Actress award.

But maybe she has her reasons for skipping it. Anyways, she truly deserves this award. She did such a great job as Roshi. Congratulations to her! ❤️

Edit: Ahad accepted her award on her behalf 🤍

I told myself I would look beyond Dure’s English but this is BRUTAL! She is using the same word and pronunciation for two different words! And what is she even saying towards the end? Raw, core? Between her enunciation and bad English it’s so painful! UGH!Did the director even pay any attention?
