Actor Namrah Shahid has expressed her opinions on the current issues of celebs Falak Shabir, Sarah Khan, Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan and has urged people not to judge others based on speculations or assumptions.

In a recent interview, Namrah remarked that outsiders rarely get the whole picture when it comes to a person’s actions. She added maybe it was Ramsha’s own decision. Talking about the speculations of Ramsha Khan quitting entertainment after tying the knot with Khushhal Khan, she remarked. “If a woman decides to step away from work, it’s not necessarily the husband or the family that is to blame for that.

She also named actress Iqra Aziz who has done lesser assignments after she became a mother. “Such decisions are personal and should not be automatically associated with pressure from family members,” said Namrah.

Commenting on musician Falak Shabir’s criticism for his comments on advocating modest dress codes, Namrah suggested perhaps the singer’s opinions were misconstrued. There was a better way to get the word across, she felt, but she didn’t feel his intentions were bad.

Namrah also commended Sarah Khan and said she is one of the most graceful and renowned actors in the profession. But she said her familial upbringing instilled morals and conduct in her and Sarah always ‘held herself with dignity’.

The actress said people should be wary about speculating on celebrity marriages and personal lives, because the public sometimes forms opinions based on inadequate information.

The interview also covered Namrah’s acting career. She remembered being offered a role in the drama Aik Aur Pakeezah, where she was to perform fully in Saraiki.

Initially, she was not sure about taking up the task and was motivated by actor Saqib Sameer to take up the part. The experience helped her grow as an actress and became a significant milestone of her career, said Namrah.

The Punjab government has ordered the closure of all theatres in the province from the 1st to the 13th of Muharram, according to a statement issued by the Punjab Arts Council.

The statement said no stage dramas, theatrical performances and cultural programmes will be allowed throughout the period in observance of the sacredness of Muharram.

Theatre managements have been asked to follow the restriction in letter and spirit and keep all entertainment events suspended for the first 13 days of the Islamic month.

Security arrangements for Ashura are also being finalised across the country.

Pakistani musician Asim Azhar has come up with a statement after being trolled for his recent song’s cover version ‘Tu Hai Wohi Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha’ and controversy involving social media star Rajab Butt.

Social media was divided over the singer’s take on the famous track, with many users condemning the performance and saying the original song had been ruined.

The dispute escalated when Rajab Butt posted a lip-sync video in support of the song. Asim Azhar thanked the influencer for the gesture but his reply prompted more criticism from social media users who questioned his decision to recognise the support.

Asim Azhar reacts to controversy over his TikTok video. Amid the rising reaction, Azhar took to Instagram to remark that someone praising him and him replying to someone’s appreciation does not mean that he shares the same ideas or principles.

He said he understood the worries of his followers and supporters and agreed with many of them, adding that his purpose was just to respond to kindness with compassion and that the problem was not as serious as it had been portrayed.

On a happier note, the musician asked fans to keep on enjoying his new music and luscious mangoes.

The clarification has not stopped debate on social media. Some admirers believe the singer should not have taken Rajab Butt’s assistance while followers of the influencer have condemned Asim Azhar for stepping away after public response.
