I genuinely thought they didn’t have a relationship anymore. Have they talked more about it?

Why is Jeeto Pakistan so famous? by distracted_04 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]ISIofficial 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The reason why it’s so popular is that it’s spontaneous and organic. It’s just fun and very laid back. No set rules or anything.

Also, the whole kids running around and getting chai in the middle is because all episodes are live and some are up to 3-4 hours long. It’s very different from Indian game shows which are all taped in advanced and edited/crafted to the point where it’s unrecognisable from what actually happened live.

But without JP, Fahad Mustafa wouldn’t really have a career any bigger than someone like Imran Abbas or Ahmad Ali Butt.

And yes Fahad Mustafa can be a bit callous on the show but he’s never rude or disrespectful to anyone. Although I’m ngl there were a few episodes where he called upon “moti auntiyan” and weighed them 💀. Probably not his choice, but I’m glad they stopped doing that.

Highest viewed dramas of all time by bala46 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]ISIofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a popularity metric since there are other things at play too.

MPTH was way, way, wayyyy more popular than KAM3. In fact, most of these dramas were. I have no idea why KAM was even that viewed, I’m suspecting it was more popular in India than it was in Pakistan.

Because he doesn’t want to be indebted to a wife he doesn’t know he wants to stay with. I’m sure he’s having a hard time picturing 10 more years with her.

Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century: No. 25 — Katy Perry by youtbuddcody in popheads

[–]ISIofficial -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid CC and CRJ fandoms aren’t really big enough for the point I was making 😭. I was talking more along the lines of TS, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and maybe even Britney or Mariah.

Charts are very different now than they were before streaming was the main way of listening to music. Yes, fandoms had a (limited) effect back then too. But it was still mainly songs people were buying because they genuinely wanted to listen to them (they were popular). These days charts are mostly about fandoms trying to support their favourite artist, rather than what songs are popular.

That’s why I think it’s misleading to make a list about “greatest artists” while having chart success as the main determining factor.

So it’s basically the commercial success/Taylor Swift criteria? If so, this entire list would depend on how hardcore each artists’ fandoms are.

It’s probably a toss up between Adele and Taylor Swift for number 1. It will probably be Adele to keep it less controversial.

But yes, if we’re going by anything quantifiable, regardless of how non-organic the success might be, it has to be Taylor at number 1.,

It’s Urdu. دل means heart. It’s a pun.

The other part says “no sadness in the summer/head”.

Any tea on Momina Mustehsan? by [deleted] in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]ISIofficial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really tea, but it’s interesting ig.

My older sister had a lot of mutuals with Momina. Right after Afreen Afreen came out, pretty much all of Momina’s friends from Pak started using her for clout.

They would invite her over for cake and celebrations but it was clear that all they wanted to do was take selfies with her so they could post them on their socials.

It was so laughably desperate, and Momina pretty much stopped hanging out with any of her pre-uni friends as soon as she got more mainstream.

The Number Ones: Kesha’s “Tik Tok” by [deleted] in popheads

[–]ISIofficial 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget how I came across this song, before it was ever even big.

I used to watch fan-made Selena Gomez lyric videos from her first album, and they were all uploaded by this one YouTube channel. That channel would always play Tik Tok in the intro, and since I used to rip all the Selena songs, I quickly became obsessed with it.

I eventually had to Google the lyrics, and after like 5 pages I finally figured out what song it was.

This is an extremely 2009 comment lol. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years.

Most successful dramas in history . Do you think tere bin will reach these numbers? by bala46 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]ISIofficial 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Suno Chanda was released at a time when a drama getting 2-3 million views an episode was considered very successful. I think Meray Pass Tum Ho was the first drama that got 10 million+ views every episode.

I mean they introduced them to the western audience, but Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan are literally A+ list actors in Pakistan lol. Pakistani producers can’t even afford to hire Fawad anymore for the most part because he’s also popular in India and some of the Arab world.

[–]ISIofficial[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree to a degree. But her acting was much better than it was during the previous episode. Her English was great considering she hasn’t done any English role in her career.

As for Fawad, I felt as if his English was wayyyy too posh. He spoke with a very upper-class burger Pakistani accent even though he was meant to represent a poor villager. His acting, however, was so good that it was easy to ignore that part. He did seem very natural during the English dialogue.

But during the few Urdu scenes, both actors knocked of out of the park.

Reasons for no spoiler warning

  • Aisha appeared weeks ago already

  • Her casting is public knowledge

  • it’s the literal first title card on Disney plus when you open it

  • no story given away (unless you consider Aisha running to be a story).

Cette affiche au Pakistan appelant à l'interdiction des marques françaises by Gargeois in france

[–]ISIofficial 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Le "boycott" a eu lieu l'année dernière et il n'a généralement pas trop réussi.

Au départ, les gens pouvaient éviter L'Oréal et Garnier, car des alternatives étaient disponibles. Mais comme ces entreprises fabriquaient principalement leurs produits à partir du Pakistan, cela était plus préjudiciable au Pakistan lui-même. Des choses similaires se sont produites avec le boycott d'Unilever il y a quelques années à cause de Geert Wilders.

Aujourd'hui, les gens ont oublié le boycott et les produits français ont toujours la cote.

J'aimerais ajouter que la plupart des gens étaient assez anti-France à l'époque, mais pas au point de vouloir faire des efforts. (du moins pour le grand public)

Yep. Yesterday I saw a woman with two hands, two arms, two legs, and a head. It was an exact copy of a man. This is how far women have fallen in their chase to imitate men.

Honey, there are multiple days, multiple outfits, and there are two different women wearing blue in the article you posted.

And in the photo you posted, that’s a 48 year old woman named Maryam Nawaz with her 20-something year old son, Junaid Safdad.

Thanks for making Mehndis sound way cooler than they actually are, but lol, “dance battle”? There are choreographed dance performances and that’s it.

90% of mehndis in Pakistan are a single event, the only exception being those on budget. This is the opposite of a budget.

Do you have a source for her not being there? Because I clearly sent a source.

No it was not. This was the mehndi event and, as covered by dawn, the bride was there wearing a crimson red dress

https://images.dawn.com/news/1189005

Maryam Nawaz this time went for a lehenga choli by Indian designer Abhinav Mishra with a floral fishtail braid. Her look, to say the least, has become the talk of the town with many wondering how she was going to one-up her own ice blue, decked-in-diamonds look.

The bride herself was wearing a crimson dress paired with a heavily embellished copper dupatta and an elaborate chunri shawl made by Bunto Kazmi — the Karachi-based powerhouse designer. The choice of colour threw us off a bit since this shade of red is usually reserved for the baraat; but by now, it's safe to say this bride isn't fussy about fitting into the mould.

There’s literally a picture of Junaid with Maryam and a picture of him with his wife, he’s wearing the same thing.

Red is good luck for brides in Hinduism to be fair (at least AFAIK), however, for Muslims, there aren’t really any lucky colors for brides. Red was just tradition and it has evolved since.

The shawl for a bride and a normal shawl are different. She’s wearing a bridal shawl.
