‘I am the Shah Rukh, Salman Khan of Pakistan’ Saboor Aly Opens Up About Working with Younger Male Co-Stars

by Ayesal A
written by Ayesal A

Saboor Aly has been flying high as social media is head over heads with her drama serial ‘Mushkil’, which just ended. Saboor has created a name for herself in the industry and is making waves!

However, little do fans know that she has a great sense of humour which has gone unappreciated. After an image of her laughing during a fight scene in Mushkil, pictures and clips of Saboor started trending, but her interview statement is on a new level.

While talking to a magazine about her journey and serials, Saboor shared that she thinks she is the Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan of the Pakistani entertainment industry because she is working with male co-stars who are younger.

As shocking as that statement might be for many, it’s TRUE! She revealed that Khushhal is 5 years younger than her and he was cast opposite her, giving her the Bollywood vibes which usually show the Khans romancing leads almost half their age.

Despite the age gap, fans are deeply in love with the chemistry Saboor and Khushhal Khan have on screen.

Moreover, she opened up about playing more positive characters on television, she shared:

I am receiving a lot of messages and positive feedback from fans about my role in Mushkil, and a similar thing happened when I was doing Fitrat. However, my character in Fitrat was a negative character, while this time my role is completely opposite. I am receiving a lot of love. The fame one receives when playing a negative character is different from when one plays a positive character.

 

One good thing about this positive character was that Sameen takes a stand for herself. I admired this aspect of the character. Else, I normally have a problem doing a positive character since they are usually subdued and submissive. There are some characters that take a stand for themselves while remaining positive character. Even in our daily lives, it’s not like we’re negative characters, but we still take a stand for ourselves.

Do you want to see Saboor romance younger co-stars in positive leads? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

“Dowry is a Curse on Pakistani Women & Subjects Them to Abuse“ Saboor Aly Sheds Light on the Dowry System in Drama ‘Nehar’

by Sahrish Shakeel
written by Sahrish Shakeel
Pakistani actress Saboor Aly has shed light on the social issue of the ‘Dowry system’ in Pakistan with her latest drama serial ‘Nehar,’ on-air on Hum TV.

Saboor Aly posted photos of her draped in her character. She wrote in the caption that dowry (where a groom demands gifts and money from the bride’s family at the time of marriage) is a curse in our society, “Dowry is a curse on Pakistani women and their families, subjecting the innocent girls to mental and physical abuse and in extreme cases burning the girl to death….”

She said she has also wanted to bring awareness around this topic and is finally able to do so with her upcoming drama serial Nehar now on air on Hum TV, “Always wanted to Bring up this issue to everyone out there so people can feel the pain and agony of countless such victims because this issue has always been very close to my heart. I hope I am able to bring this message into the spotlight.”

Dowry is denied vehemently in close circles, but it’s a traditional practice still prevalent today. This social issue has inundated the lives of so many women and families across the globe and continues to do so to date. It greatly hinders the women empowerment movement as it still affects them regardless of the waves they make in various fields.

It’s important to educate today’s youth and curb this practice. Dramas such as Nehar are a great way to subtly send the message across and fight against this cruel system. On different occasions, politicians, celebrities, designers, and human rights activists have raised their voices to stop this madness.

Finally, in October 2020, the Minister of Religious Affairs officially announced a ban on the tradition of asking for and displaying dowry.

Hum TV’s latest drama serial, “Nehar,” is finally on air. The drama series revolves around the social issue of dowry [jahaiz] and has Saboor Aly, Areeba Habib, and Osama Tahir playing the lead characters. Supporting roles are played by Saima Qureshi, Saima Qureshi, Syed Shafaat Ali, Umer Alam, Farhan Ali Agha, and Munaza Arif. Written by Soofia Khurram and directed by Ali Hassan, the show was released on the 9th of May 2022. You can watch the show on Hum TV Network…

Brand Placement of Lay’s Vending Machine Spotted at Ali Ansari & Saboor Aly’s Reception, Receives Criticism

by Sahrish Shakeel
written by Sahrish Shakeel

Ali Ansari and Saboor Aly‘s wedding festivities have been in the news for days now. Many photos of the couple donning designer clothes from their big day have made it to social media. But, one particular photo of the couple standing in front of a Lay’s vending machine at their reception dinner stirred up a conversation, especially among industry experts.

Apparently, the couple had a brand placement at their reception dinner. Given that masses were following their wedding, it was a smart move to place the vending machine at the event. However, if you think of it, weddings are grand and often known for the quality of food served to guests, at least in our culture. Placing a vending machine full of Lays chips didn’t quite make sense to a lot of people for that very reason. However, in my opinion, this might work at Mehndi’s where street-style food is served.

Are Brand Placements at Celebrity Weddings Going to be the New Norm?

Why not? It is a smart move. Weddings are big in our culture and celebrity weddings are like national matters. A lot of the general public tends to follow celebrity weddings. Placing brands at the events may do wonders for the brand if placed smartly and subtly.

Last year in December, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal sold their wedding telecast rights to Amazon for 80 crores. It was a huge, highly anticipated wedding of Bollywood. So Amazon, as a brand would massively benefit from it when the documentary series of their wedding is out, it will likely make great numbers globally.

Wedding day is a special day for all brides and grooms, and so is for their families and friends. To make this day memorable, everyone puts in their efforts so the bride and groom can enjoy their big day. It is not Essential to Meet Unrealistic Beauty Standards. Practically both the bride and the groom must be comfortable in their skin to be able to enjoy their day thoroughly.

Saboor-Aly Spills the Beans on “Gora Complex” in the Showbiz Industry

by Laiba
written by Laiba

Pakistanis are obsessed with fair complexion and especially when it comes to women. Some would describe this as a ‘post-colonial hangover’. Naturally, the obsession follows TV and film, where we only like to see women who meet unreal beauty standards. Actors often struggle to sign a role just because of their skin’s complexion or weight, or height.

Pakistani actress Saboor Aly pointed out the “Gora complex” in the showbiz industry still exists, bluntly. She said certain directors and writers do not prefer other actors over their favorite ones who are usually actors they have worked with before, who then also meet all their other criteria’s which is just plain sad.

After she finished talking about this, the host of the show asked her, “Does this still exist, strongly? to which she giggled and said, “Yes, that is why clinics that offer whitening injections are still in business.”

She added, “It very much still exists. I have witnessed castings where actors are hired even when they do not know how to act, but because their skin color meets the requirement, they are hired instantly without a second thought. Those projects could’ve been done better by other actors”, but because we are stuck with this mindset, our content suffers, and so does the art.

We see them in massive projects, but only because they were given a chance which everyone should get. There should be proper auditions for roles, and everyone who wishes to audition should be given a possibility regardless of their skin tone.

It is often that writers only write characters keeping in mind women with a fair complexion which ultimately means that our industry lacks inclusivity. More scripts should be based on different women in different scenarios.

Saboor Aly Caught on Camera Third Wheeling a Newly Married Couple

written by Laiba

Amid the pandemic, weddings are in full swing. We have seen many celebrities on social media present at these events adding their fire to the dance floor. Our favorite, Saboor Aly, was also seen attending a friend’s wedding just recently; however, the star was caught in a rather unusual condition.

We have all seen the couple’s hanging out with a third-wheeler which is, we think, pretty common in Pakistan but have you ever seen a third-wheeler sitting between a newly wedded couple on their bed? This was new for us too!

Check Out For Yourself!

A video of the star sitting between the newly wedded couple is making rounds on social media. In the video, a friend who is recording the clip says, Saboor is acting as “Kabab Mein Hadi” right now, which we all agree with. We know it was nothing serious and just a couple of friends having fun. However, netizens didn’t appreciate Aly’s third-wheeling of this kind and went on disapproving of her actions.

Does not she look ravishing?

Here are clips of the star from the dance floor:

Many stars were present at the event, including Sajal Aly, Saboor Aly, Zara Noor Abbas, and others. It was a star-studded event overall.

On the other hand, after coming across thousands of trolls and memes regarding the similarity between Money Heist and 50 Crore – here is what the upcoming Pakistani film’s director had to say:

“We understand the similarity with the internationally renowned series but for us it is much bigger than that. We are not just inspired by the story lines of the western movies like Oceans Eleven and other similar hits but are also extremely thrilled to bring a similar concept to the Pakistani film industry.”

Nonetheless, despite of constantly being trolled on the internet due to similarity in content – the upcoming movie is going to be quite an entertaining and an action-packed film and is going to be something new to see on the big screen in Pakistan.
