During a recent interview, actor Adeel Hashmi spoke out about his horrific experience of sexual abuse in a 1980s secondary boys school with renowned makeup artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Masarrat Misbah.

“I was in grade 7 or 8, and because I was in a public school, my class had many students who had been failing for a couple of years,” Hashmi revealed in a heartfelt interview. Since I had just been promoted from grade 6, they had been in the same class for years, so they were much older than me.

“I wasn’t large or tall either. I am extremely timid, almost like a cross between a cat and a mouse in terms of temperament. And these eight or ten students would pick on me,” the well-known person recalled. “I can tell you about one incident that happened around that time, but I probably won’t tell you everything, and I might cry a little bit in the middle. In the seventh grade, I experienced sexual assault.

When this wasn’t a [widely accepted] idea, they would sexually abuse me. This is a school for guys alone. Hashmi recalled that “no teacher, no elder, my brother, or my parents could do anything.”
The actor revealed that he struggled to find the guts to talk about his experience with his parents and professors since he was unsure of how to handle the matter. “I only recall once telling my brother that these hostel kids are bullying me, and I wonder if I should tell our father about it,” he stated. And he said, “No, you have to figure it out on your own.”

In addition, Hashmi stated that this incident was only one of many that he had experienced. In contrast to the common desire for people to relive their childhood, he is grateful that those days are in the past and doesn’t want to think about them ever again.

Aiza Awan recently appeared as a guest on the PSL special show ‘Har Lamha Purjosh. She actively participated in enjoyable activities and openly responded to the innocent questions asked by host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain.

During a segment, Awan disclosed that it is indeed accurate that the majority of her budget is allocated to travel expenses. When questioned about her most opulent journey, the actress highlighted Europe and revealed that she has extensively traversed the majority of the region.

When questioned about whether she has stopped portraying the conventional damsel in distress characters in movies, the actor of ‘Tere Bina Mein Nahi’ responded with a straightforward “no.” Due to my exclusive focus and extensive experience in this genre, it has become my area of expertise. As a result, I have developed a high level of proficiency in portraying emotions, particularly crying. Therefore, I have gained a deeper understanding of those characters and have developed a certain level of enjoyment for them.


Furthermore, Awan revealed that novice performers typically arrive on the sets early and depart late; however, she acknowledged that this practice is not wholly unjustified, as one needs to exert great effort during their initial phase of striving.

Aiza Awan’s most recent acting role was in the popular drama series ‘Tere Bina Mein Nahi’, where she appeared with renowned actors Shahzad Sheikh and Sonya Hussyn.

The expert stated, “Social media followers are just a passing trend,” during a program. She also said that users on social media have all the time in the world and are “purposeless.”

Furthermore, she made oblique references to the fact that Pakistani award ceremonies are primarily preset and predetermined and that a particular group of people consistently win honors.
In answer to a separate query, Qazi said that all drama serials in recent years have the same storyline, which is reused repeatedly with “different angles.” She said, “It’s the same plot and material with a few minor changes to try something fresh.

“We never spoke then…”: Amar Khan discusses his connection with his father, who is alienated.

In a moving interview with former supermodel and current businesswoman Frieha Altaf for her podcast “FWhy,” Amar Khan revealed that her parents divorced when she was just two years old, leaving her mother, seasoned actress Fareeha Jabeen, to raise her alone at that time without any help from her father.

Khan said, “My parents separated when I was two, I guess,” recalling her upbringing in a Lahore family home with her maternal side of the family. I thus didn’t get to see my Abba too much. He had family in New York, which is why he was there.

She said, “I was raised by a single parent.”

The “Baddua” actor, who studied cinema, revealed that she had always wanted to be an actor but was hesitant to tell her mother about it because of all the struggles she had to face to become an actor.

She entered this field out of enthusiasm when she first started. She was a single mother, though, so she would accept any role—after all, it was her bread and butter—even if it was not the most important one, Khan added.

Khan shared a poignant story from her school days in which she was denied the opportunity to take examinations because she had not paid the semester fees. Khan appreciated this privilege, noting that her mother’s sacrifices had cleared the path for her daughter’s professional goals.

She revealed, “He wrote to me in a lengthy email when he learned that I was going into show business. We didn’t know each other well, but we had a formal connection. He said that my entering into show business like my mother would unintentionally bring dishonor to the family. “I don’t think I’ll bring shame to Mom especially and of course not to you also,” I responded in response.

Because of the way mom had taught me, I was unable to break the ice with him, show him a great deal of respect, and be friendly with him. After that, we didn’t communicate. We haven’t communicated since I graduated from BNU at the time,” Khan said.
