Hum TV recently organized the launching ceremony of their latest blockbusters, showcasing two of its best serials to be aired soon. With media personalities and the press in full attendance, the evening was hosted by Aijaz Aslam, Vinnie and Nadia Jamil. The first serial, Maaney Na Yeh Dil was introduced by its main characters played by Ayesha Khan and Faisal Qureshi, who talked about their experience of working in the play. Maaney Na Yeh Dil has been shot in Australia and is written by Sameera Fazal, directed by Babar Javed. Besides Ayesha and Faisal, others in the cast include Faisal Rehman, Nadia Hussain and Deepti Gupta.
Later, the hosts invited the director Babar Javed, who is also the director of the other blockbuster Jhumka Jaan, to talk about the serials. The director pointed out that both the serials carry a completely different mood. While Maaney Na Yeh Dil is an urban story, Jhumka Jaan has a certain amount of pathos in it. Sania Saeed who plays the main character of Jhumka Jaan was later invited on stage to talk about her role.
Overall, a highly entertaining evening, it comprised of scintillating dance performances by Umaima on a medley of songs with a surprise performance by Faisal Qureshi followed by Annie singing her hit number Mahiya Vey. The evening concluded on the note of thanks given by Momina Duraid of Moomal Productions, followed by a charged up performance by none other than Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who truly made the evening a memorable one. |

“Fame and recognition go hand in hand on the basis of what you do. I am not here to just establish myself as a pretty face but prove myself as a good actor.”

A designer by profession, Farah Jehanzeb Khan has recently forayed into showbiz, becoming a success story. After hosting a single episode of Dalda Ka Dasturkhuan, she co-hosted as an expert, the popular segment Kitchen Queen on TV One’s morning transmission. Farah has also hosted the show Picnic designed for kids which was aired every Saturday on the same channel. After having conducted these programmes for many years, she is now seen hosting Food Afternoon with Farah aired on Geo TV. According to Farah, cooking comes naturally to her, “I have always been into cooking because my influences are varied when it comes to food. My dadi belongs to Egypt, my mother is a Punjabi, my father is from Sialkot and my husband is a Pathan from Afghan lineage. So in short, I have experienced a varied array of cuisines. Cooking for the show was certainly an easy task since I had the confidence so much so that my 18-minutes’ segment became so popular that it was stretched for a longer time period.”
For Farah Jehanzeb, the world of glitz and glamour is not new since she is also a designer and has been providing wardrobes to different shows on television. Commenting on her new-found recognition as a host she says, “To a certain extent I do identify with my status of being someone known. Before, when I used to go out especially with my husband Jehanzeb Khan, who is a former film star and model, people would obviously recognize him but not me. I was, of course known among my clientele, but now the role has reversed. Being known is not such a big deal but the biggest adulation is when a mother comes up to me and says that because of me her young daughter has started taking interest in cooking.” |
