Adeel Chaudhry gears up for his latest project "Mohabbat Karna Mana Hai" on Bol Entertainment

While he waits for his debut Pakistani film Maan Jao Na to release and create a stir in the audience, Adeel Chaudhry is spending time focusing on another serial; this time for Bol Entertainment.

Titled Mohabbat Karna Mana Hai, the drama is a Furqan T Siddiqui directorial and is based on a script by Adeel Razzaq. "Its one big major project for Bol Entertainment with high end production values,

Adding further to the information, Adeel indulges us with the cast, "Mohabbat Karna Mana Hai is a multi-star cast project. It has Noor Khan paired opposite me (Adeel Chaudhry) as the lead; along with the very talented Samiya Mumtaz, Adnan Siddiqui and Alyy Khan, who play significant characters in the drama."

Judging from what Adeel told us about the story, and how it revolves around a romantic, intense love with differences between two families, we feel the drama will have some Romeo-Juliet vibes to it. We're just rooting for our couple to have a happy ending to their story though.

On signing up for another drama alongside Hiddat and Dil-e-Bekhabar, Adeel mentions that he wants his major focus to be on films only and how he is not looking at any more dramas at the moment. "I had to do this drama because I had made a commitment earlier. Although I now feel pleased and majorly proud doing Mohabbat Karna Mana Hai due to its engaging story and very high production values."

Although Maan Jao Na will be Adeel's Pakistani cinematic debut, the actor has already enjoyed the perks of working in a full-fledged Bollywood flick and alongside Shahrukh Khan as well. And now, while we wait for Maan Jao Na and Mohabbat Karna Mana Hai, Adeel gears up for another film for which he will share details soon.

“I learnt the guitar for a good five months” Bilal Ashraf on “Rangreza”

“I learnt the guitar for a good five months” Bilal Ashraf on “Rangreza”

Bilal Ashraf made his acting debut in Operation 021 as a supporting actor but soon got his first lead role in last year’s Janaan, though he couldn’t impress the critiques but the public lauded this lad’s performance. Bilal managed to get a thumbs up from critiques after his amazing performance in Yalghaar. This gorgeous actor is all set to amaze us again in his upcoming film “Rangreza” releasing December 21st.

In the recent trailer Bilal is seen as a rockstar so when asked of what he had to go through to ace this role the actor had the following to say:

“I have put my heart and soul into the film. Even though it was really difficult playing a musician, I was convinced I could do it. I hope the audience like my attempt.”

He was further asked if he had any previous music knowledge to which he had the following answer.

“I learnt the guitar for a good five months and took a lot of training, especially for this movie. It’s been a lot of hard work.”

Though a lot can be figured out about the story line of the movie by the trailer but Bilal shared some insight too.

“The film is a musical journey, and it portrays all the emotions – drama, love and romance, all come together to form a unique story. There’s also a lot of anger portrayed through Gohar’s character, which you can see in the trailer.”

We sincerely hope all the hard work that Bilal and team Rangreza put into this film is paid off and the film takes the box office by storm.

Syra And Asim Clash Over Rehearsals

Syra And Asim Clash Over Rehearsals

Hum Awards powered by Q mobile dazzled Karachi last night, from all sorts of style statements we saw on the red carpet to aesthetic performances it was wowzah. That wowzah level of entertainment looks so effortless on the T.V screen but it really isn’t. Celebrities go through arduous rehearsal sessions just to make that annual event a night to remember.

On one such arduous session when both Asim Azhar and Syra Shehroz were totally exhausted both physically and mentally they had a minor trifle.

The argument started when Asim had been waiting for twenty minutes for his rehearsal to start since the management had given him that time but the choreographer was still busy practicing with Syra.

Everyone started persuading Asim and requested him to wait a little bit more and meanwhile have a cup of tea or something. To which Asim said that they should’ve told him they weren’t free when Asim had contacted them earlier to confirm the timings to which the choreographers were apologetic. Asim insisted that he has no free dates in the future so he must rehearse today he also said he’d contact the management and let them know what’s happening down here to which Syra said “You really don’t need to throw a fit over this” Asim countered this with “I’m really not throwing a fit” after which Syra walked out.

We’re hoping they resolved this issue right there and then prolonging such mundane arguments gets no one no where.

Gohar Rasheed Talks About Rejecting “Neerja”

Gohar Rasheed Talks About Rejecting “Neerja”

Gohar Rasheed is a Pakistani actor mostly known for his work in drama serials like “Digest Writer” and “Mann Mayal”. The actor has also worked in movies like 021, Yalghaar and is currently coming up with yet another feature film Rangreza.

In a recent interview Gohar talked about his journey so far, the actor revealed that his father wasn’t exactly ecstatic about him joining the entertainment industry and was pretty sure Gohar would fail and return home in a few months but God works in mysterious ways and from Karachi’s theater scene Gohar ended up straight in the Best Actor nominees at the New York Film Festival for his movie Seedlings. Since then Gohar Rasheed has become a household name.

In his interview Gohar talked about his faith in God and fate, that one can try his best and leave the rest to God, he also added that tho our nation in general is racist and prefers “fair skin” anyone, no matter how gorgeous, can’t and will not survive without craft and skill. The actor said that he loves playing “the baddie” but won’t mind playing the good guy once in a while to prove his versatility.

When asked about working in Bollywood the actor had the following to say:

“It’s a creative process, acting and film-making. So if I get an invitation with dignity and respect, I’d love to go. My only concern is that the script should be good and it shouldn’t pit me as ‘the Pakistani guy.’ I rejected Neerja for this very reason… because I felt that I was there as a token Pakistani actor which is not what I am about at all! I am more than just a namesake. If it’s a good collaboration, if it’s exploring my potential as more than just ‘that Pakistani actor in an Indian film,’ yeah I don’t mind.” 

 

We agree with Gohar through and through, art is nothing without dignity and sincerity, we wish the actor all the luck for his future endeavors because this industry deserves a better class of villains and he’s gonna give it to us (hard to miss but it’s a Joker reference).

UHT Milk Is Safe – An Awareness Program by Grow Healthy Pakistan & Pakistan Dairy Association

On October 12th, 2017 Grow Healthy Pakistan in collaboration with the Pakistan Dairy Association hosted a blogger’s meet up in Lahore.

The objective of the event was to work towards removing mis-perceptions wrongly associated with the milk in UHT packaging, by educating the public about UHT milk processing and packaging technology and how it is designed to keep milk safe without the need for any preservatives to be added.

All members of the Pakistan Dairy Association presented and reassured the audience about the great care taken to ensure the quality standards of their milk. Those in attendance were told about the modern labs with broad testing capabilities and experts who to continuously check milk quality from the point of collection to the point of sale before the milk reached the consumers. The campaign is to ensure and make the consumer aware about how packaged milk is fully traceable and it’s quality can be verified at any time by regulatory authorities as is now being done by the PFA on a regular basis.

Many people are also not aware that the common practice of boiling loose milk over several minutes at home to kill the bacteria, also destroys most nutrients present within the milk and thus lose its healthiness. Since long life milk has already gone through a controlled boiling process, there is no need to do boil and the healthy nutrients are thus preserved.

For the last 50 years, Long Life Milk (UHT) has become a regular staple in families’ homes across the world and can be termed as the most innovative technology used in liquid food process. Today the majority of milk consumed in countries such France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Brazil and China among others is Long Life (UHT) milk and so Pakistan and Pakistanis are safe with its usage as well.
