SnackVideo takes a trip down memory lane as Annie Khalid’s Mahiya becomes a hit again

More and more musicians are settling in SnackVideo these days, releasing and promoting their groovy music with thousands of users on the platform. Last week, the ‘Mahiya’ Queen, Annie Khalid, made an exclusive debut of her signature song on SnackVideo and kicked off #MahiyabyAnnie Challenge.

So far, there has been around 77k participants in the challenge. Related hashtag 

#SnackMusician has become trending on Twitter in Pakistan, gaining over 1.5k posts and comments.

As an English-Pakistani singer and model, Annie Khalid rose to fame in Pakistan in 2005 when her first single ‘Mahiya’ took the nation by storm. The song became popular due to its catchy tune and simple lyrics, and it was later used in the Indian film Awarapan (2007).

According to Annie, it is the unexpected success of ‘Mahiya’ that allowed her to consider making singing her life career as well as moving back to Pakistan. Since then, the talented singer has done it all from Bollywood item songs to collaborations with big names and her own hit albums, rocking the music world with her impressive fashion and soulful voice.

Till now, the song ‘Mahiya’ still remains a fan favorite, and it got onboard only on SnackVideo. The #MahiyabyAnnie challenge on SnackVideo is breathing new life into the most-played hit song back in the days. Within the hashtag, people can either cover the song itself or create transition videos, dance moves, or duet videos to join the challenge and “shine just like a star.”

Aurat Gardi is Now Available for Streaming on UrduFlix!

Pakistan’s first Urdu OTT platform is marking another one of its great feat with the launch of a women-led, empowering new web series ‘Aurat Gardi’ which is now available for streaming on the official platform.

Starring Javeria Saud and Alyy Khan in the lead, Aurat Gardi is one of those women-centric stories with enthralling and appealing female characters that bring together the whole plot – with a lot of intensity. The plot centers around the setbacks and evils of the misogynistic society that stoops low to make life harder for the women around them – and how sometimes it just takes one strong voice to unite the oppressed and bring about a change.

Directed by Aayan Hussain and produced by Farhan Gauher, Aurat Gardi also brings together an ensemble cast and gives a new light to a sensitive topic. There are certainly still strides to be made for female empowerment in the entertainment world in Pakistan, but UrduFlix – is taking the lead once again to bring important social issues to light.

UrduFlix – recently launched as Pakistan’s first-ever Urdu OTT platform has upped the game and expectations with brilliant new content, and has kept the surprises coming. The platform has also garnered great feedback from the audiences after multiple series including ‘Lifafa Dayan’, ‘Khudkush Muhabbat’, ‘Dulhan Aur Aik Raat’ have been streaming online. The platform is officially live for download for viewers on Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and Roku TV.

Aulaad has an interesting plot, logical scenarios and is well written keeping in mind a purpose. We finally get to see a drama, after a long time, in which the storyline revolves around the elders, I.e., parents. It is interesting to see their perspective, that too from an emotional angle. It has been only 3 weeks Aulaad is on air but the storyline with strong characters already seems promising. On top of it, it is also breaking stereotypes and it is refreshing to see a daughter in law having a caring and loving character.

A well-thought script that is still interesting even though the drama is about to end in the weeks to come. The intriguing plot is what has hooked the audience all this time. Though Guddi and Adam have just started to fall in love, it would be interesting to see where it heads in the upcoming episodes.

The drama is so well-executed and well-written, it gives the vibes of old PTV dramas that we thought will never come back, but it is. Huge round of applause for Urwa and Imran for acting brilliantly. A highly recommended drama you shouldn’t miss out on.

This was a much-awaited episode, thanks to the last epidode where Zohra finally reveals her true identity to Moosa. Now the audience was eagerly waiting to see how Moosa will react to this reality. This episode shows that there is no going back for Moosa. On the other hand, Zohra, too, seems to be liking him, which is a bit off as she gave the impression of being a hard-to-get person. Esa and Sakina are two more characters who are coming in the limelight with each episode.

Raqs-e-Bismil | Episode 4 | Digitally Presented By Master Paints | HUM TV | Drama | 15 January 2021

The Love Story Finally Begins! Raqs e Bismil – Episode 4 Review

Moosa is still struggling to name his feelings for Zohra. At one point, he does confess his love for her though. This is against his own beliefs and is contrary to picture of the woman he imagined he would fall in love with. Turns out, Moosa is head over heels in love with Zohra, even after knowing everything about her. In order to find out answers to his questions, Moosa even agrees to pay for a meeting with his love. It would be interesting to see how Ana Ji handles this situation further as she has already got an idea about what is cooking.

Sakina’s character is a bit smarter than the audience anticipated. She is capable of manipulating people and this is exactly what she is doing with Esa. Esa, who has started liking her, is falling for her tricks.

Raqs e Bismil reflects the dual standards we have for male and female in our society. Like when Sakina was in a similar situation, Pir Sahab behaved differently and now with Moosa, he appears to be more relaxed. Also, Pir Sahab is such an influential figure in his area, yet he went to get his son released, why? This could have easily been done via a phone call.

It is needless to say that Moosa and Esa are two characters who are doing exceptionally good acting. Zohra seemed a little bit less impressive today but Sakina surprised everyone with her performance. Looking forward the next episode now.

This episode was full of surprises and drama. Moosa (Imran Ashraf) is still deeply and madly in love with Zohra even though he has not seen a single glimpse of her yet, without veil. All he knows is that Zohra is a pious lady who observes hijab, and this is exactly the kind of woman he would want to marry.

Source: Hum TV

Contrary to his own belief and sayings, Moosa is in love but he is not willing to accept it. He was seen convincing Zohra (Sarah Khan) to marry her throughout the episode. He seemed like a naive person with a soft corner for people, which is not the real Moosa we saw in the previous episodes.

Zohra on the other hand, appreciated whatever Moosa did for her. However, she prefers showing her true self to Moosa instead of just telling him. No wonder Moosa was surprised to the core when he got to know that Zohra is not someone he has perceived to be. She belonged to a family of entertainers and was part of a high-end party when Moosa spotted her.

Esa and Sakina are still trying to figure out things. Sakina proves herself to be more stubborn while Esa is being patient, but he gives Sakina a reality check for sure. Esa also tells her that he is bearing all this because of her parents, who he respects a lot. But the truth is that he also loves Sakina. Momin provokes Sakina and asks her to see who is “Beghairat”; himself or her ex. Seems like this will intrigue Sakina to search for her ex and somehow, she will end up falling in love with Esa.

What Is Coming Next?

So far, Raqs e Bismil has portrayed an interesting plot with strong characters. This is an unconventional story with ups and downs.

The teaser shows that in the next episode, Moosa’s father will get to know about Zohra. This will make it further difficult for Moosa as he will not be able to control his feelings for Zohra. Let us see what else happens next!

Imran Abbas and Alizeh Shah have been part of the entertainment industry for quite a while now. The both have been part of some amazing projects and have created their own identity with their work. Both look good together on and off the screen and a rumour has it that they are about to tie the knot soon. 

Recently the duo was seen together in Jo Tu Chahay and stunned the audience with their performance. In fact, the chemistry between the two is the main reason the drama became a hit. It is mention-worthy here that Imran Abbas, who has been in the industry for a little longer and is known for his powerful characters in Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan, Tum Kon Piya, Akbari Asghari, Dil-e-Muztar, Alvida and Mohabbat Tumsay Nafrat Hai has never been mentioned in any kind of scandal before and this is why this news becomes even more interesting.

In an interview, Imran Abbas has candidly hinted towards getting married soon and people cannot help but speculate that he is going to choose Alizeh Shah as his life partner. They have already been spending quality time together and, unlike on screen, where they seem to have serious personalities, both are having a lot of fun together. According to sources, the two have been dating for a couple of months now.

Here is a video of them lip-syncing to dialogues from the blockbuster movie Jab We Met.

Fun between the scenes 💫 Alizeh Shah and Imran Abbas BTS from the sets of “Jo Tu Chahay”

Imran Abbas took to Instagram and rubbished all these baseless rumors of his marriage. In a question/answer session, his fans asked a lot of questions about his personal and professional life, which the actor answered patiently. It was in response to one of these questions that Imran Abbas spilled the beans on his marriage.

Let us see how things roll out for both of them and we would be more than delighted to see them together, again, in real life. All the best to both of them!
