Bay Dardi dwells on the harrowing cancerous truth that has been rotting the entire country at a swift pace. ARY Digital has brought the topic of HIV and AIDS in the mainstream, putting ample social stigmas related to it, to rest.

Shafay’s friend, Rohail is in relation with Bia’s sister, Rabia, but he has a Casanova personality, playing with the feelings of different girls, to leave them heartbroken afterward.

The remaining family shifts to Karachi and so does Shafay. Shafay takes over his family business. Bia’s brother, who works in Shafay’s company gets severely injured in an accident, resulting in partial paralysis. Bia’s goes for a job interview at her brother’s workplace and to her surprise, finds Shafay sitting there. Shafay appoints her on the job without thinking twice.

Bay DardiShafay gets sick and his mother, Maimoona, played by the veteran, Bushra Ansari, takes him to the doctor. She finds out her son suffering from HIV and AIDS. In lieu of telling this to her son, she decides to keep it in secrecy, getting him married to Bia. Bia and Shafay go to their honeymoon but due to Shafay’s fallen health, they get back. Bia hears Maimoona and Tabrez talking about Bia being affected by the virus too. She thinks about telling everything to Shafay but Maimoona blackmails her. She, in a response, starts to ignore Shafay but Shafay comprehends that his wife is cheating on him.

She tries to suicide but a man saves her and she starts to live with the man and his wife as their daughter.

Shafay comes to know about the disease and how it is transmitted through a razor that was shared by himself and Rohail. He finds Bia and apologizes. Maimoona also apologizes to both of them for spoiling their lives. They go to Bia’s brother’s home but his wife starts to agitate them both for having a dangerous disease. She thinks that the disease is contagious that makes the couple leave for Maimoona’s home again.

Bay DardiShafay gets seriously sick but he manages to take care of his pregnant wife. Bia promises him that he would be the first person to see his child. Upon the baby’s birth, Dr. Ayesha takes the baby girl to her father. While Tabrez says Azaan in her ears, Shafay counts his last breaths. After six years, Momina goes on a television show. She tells about her initiative to educate the Pakistani populace about the potential risks that can cause the disease. She also undermines a lot of stereotypes associated with the disease. She comes out of the studio and meets Tabrez and his granddaughter, Marium. They go the graves of both Shafay and Bia at the end of the finale.

ARY Digital proves to be a pivotal messenger to channel the information about Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), that weakens the immune system by attacking essential cells which fight diseases and destabilize infections. Subsequently, the virus destroys cells so swiftly that the immune system fails to curb infections or diseases anymore. This is the point when HIV can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is the last level of HIV where a human being becomes vulnerable to all sorts of diseases and subsequent death due to an extensively weak immune system. HIV is a contagious disease and can be transmitted to other humans via body fluids in various ways.

Bay DardiAmple men and women in Pakistan hardly have any idea about this dreadful disease. As per a recent report, about 150,000 people have been diagnosed with either of these diseases. People who often live in rural areas are likely the populace with little or no idea about the cause, prevention, and transmission. Abundant residents of urban centers also don’t have any understanding of HIV or AIDS. Before marriage, even the highly literate fractions of society don’t opt for a prior clinical checkup.

ARY Digital has taken an initiative to start an awareness campaign about HIV and AIDS via a medium which is loved, understood and celebrated by the populace within developed cities as well as villages of our country through a visual treat, known as Bay Dardi, starring top-notch artists and a breathtaking storyline.

In Pakistan, when we hear the word ‘suicide’, we associate it with a flawed relationship, a devastating economic condition, or a failing career, without heeding much towards the actual potential reason behind one’s death.

Pakistan has become a country with over 300 suicide cases in a span of tentatively two years. The cases are reported from 35 different cities. These cases of suicide are often subjected to be covered by various theories, with little effort to attain the core issue, a person has taken his life for. Albeit being a forbidden act in Islam, suicide is a reality, that has been poisoning our country rather slowly and the aforementioned 300 cases prove this point.

Going to a larger perspective, the suicide rate is increasing at a vast velocity, internationally. A person commits suicide when he feels that there’s no way to get out of a particular situation. The well-celebrated Dj, Avicii, the Linkin Park sensation, Chester Bennington, the powerhouse of humor, Robin Williams and the B’ Town diva, Jiah Khan, amongst others, are few of the people that probably had fame, an elevating career, wealth, friends, family, cars, luxurious houses but they have still opted to die on their own.

Anum TanoliWhat basically could be the potential cause of these deaths, can be the cause of Pakistani model, Anam Tanoli’s death as well. Studies claim depression to be the pivotal factor in the suicides of all these celebrities. For instance, Robin Williams has had diagnosed with depression, followed by dementia, that made him commit suicide. Likewise, depression, caused by betrayal has killed Jiah. Anam, on the other hand, has also become a victim of depression before giving away her life.

As per Anam Tanoli’s friends, she had to bear constant slut-shaming and bullying for the nature of work she has been doing. Ample people have taken to their social media accounts after her demise to tell how important it is, to consider dialogues, as the mode of resolution of an abundance of issues. People have also stressed upon the importance of mental health awareness.

anum TanoliFew A-list celebrities have also come forward to speak their hearts out, on Anam’s sad, or rather discomforting demise. The immensely gorgeous, Armeena Khan takes to Twitter saying, “A young, up and coming Pakistani/Italian model died yesterday. On the face of it, it looks like suicide by hanging.” She closes her post with an ambiguous statement, “I wonder what could possibly have driven a talented young girl like that to take her own life.”

The gorgeous, Mawra Hocane pens down a rather heartfelt description under Anam Tanoli’s photo on Instagram. “I didn’t know her personally but I’m devastated that a young beautiful girl succumbed to the bullies around her. I spoke to a close friend of hers who told me how deeply she was affected by social media trolling & bullying at work. She was suffering from depression & the world was ruthless regardless. I wish she was stronger but I also wish that we were kinder , all of us. Be on a watch, anyone around us could be suffering from depression & your words can take someone’s life,” she says, while telling her fans the reasons Anam’s close friend has told her. She goes on to apologize to Anam, “I’m sorry Anam Tanoli on behalf of everyone who pushed you take such a step. My condolences & love to the family! We may be out here for you on social platforms but we are just like you. we get hurt, we break but we endure & put the broken pieces together to run another show for all of you. Be kind, it won’t cost you a thing, Please be Kind & considerate & compassionate for others & their hearts!” She instructs her followers, “It is about time we treat depression as an illness so we can comfort the ones suffering, at least. Seek medical help without reluctance. Please don’t be afraid of the society, protect yourself first!”

RIP – Anam Tanoli I didn’t know her personally but I’m devastated that a young beautiful girl succumbed to the bullies around her. I spoke to a close friend of hers who told me how deeply she was affected by social media trolling & bullying at work. She was suffering from depression & the world was ruthless regardless. I wish she was stronger but I also wish that we were kinder , all of us. Be on a watch, anyone around us could be suffering from depression & your words can take someone’s life. I’m sorry #AnamTanoli on behalf of everyone who pushed you take such a step. My condolences & love to the family! P.s we may be out here for you on social platforms but we are just like you. we get hurt, we break but we endure & put the broken pieces together to run another show for all of you. Be kind, it won’t cost you a thing, Please be Kind & considerate & compassionate for others & their hearts! #RIPAnamTanoli It is about time we treat depression as an illness so we can comfort the ones suffering, atleast. Seek medical help without reluctance. Please don’t be afraid of the society, protect yourself first!

A post shared by MAWRA ???? (@mawrellous) on

The owner to a magical voice box, Momina Mustehsan shares her depression story and relates it with that of Anam’s. She writes an open letter for the deceased, engulfed with emotions and heartache. She puts up her photo in the post and writes, “Dear Anam, I’m sorry you had to give up. I’m sorry I didn’t understand the intensity of how much you were hurting. I know you were trying your best to be positive and you were a champ. I was super proud of how far you had come in the 9 years I had known you and the person you had grown to become. I swear you had the strength to keep fighting back, staying strong, and standing tall. But you just needed to hear more of that from the people around you, a little more often. I’m so sorry.. I know how it feels when you hit a point so low that it makes you feel like giving up. We all know that feeling. Every single person is fighting their own battle from behind the face we put up for society to make it look like all is under control.” Talking to the cyber bullies and catcallers, she requests, “Let people be. Give them the right to be human sometimes. Give them the liberty to make those occasional mistakes. Because without that, no one can ever learn or grow. Reflect and focus your energies on fixing and working on yourself more than scrutinizing, judging and putting others down. Let’s please all shun bullying and hate speech. When you see it happening to someone, please stand up for them and make it stop. Build each other up, don’t be a bystander watching someone being tormented.”

This is a picture of me from when I was going through turmoil not very long ago. It happens to the best of us. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we all hit points in our lives sometimes when all seems to be falling out of our control. Dear Anam, I’m sorry you had to give up. I’m sorry I didn’t understand the intensity of how much you were hurting. I know you were trying your best to be positive and you were a champ. I was super proud of how far you had come in the 9 years I had known you and the person you had grown to become. I swear you had the strength to keep fighting back, staying strong, and standing tall. But you just needed to hear more of that from the people around you, a little more often. I’m so sorry.. I know how it feels when you hit a point so low that it makes you feel like giving up. We all know that feeling. Every single person is fighting their own battle from behind the face we put up for society to make it look like all is under control. Fortunately or unfortunately, with the growth of social media, random people’s uncalled-for opinions and hate speech make their way to us. Now more than ever, we need to learn to love and value ourselves, and KNOW our own selves and our own worth, so that peoples opinions of us don’t get to us and impact our perception of ourselves. For the trolls: Let people be. Give them the right to be human sometimes. Give them the liberty to make those occasional mistakes. Because without that, no one can ever learn or grow. Reflect and focus your energies on fixing and working on yourself more than scrutinizing, judging and putting others down. Let’s please all shun bullying and hate speech. When you see it happening to someone, please stand up for them and make it stop. Build each other up, don’t be a bystander watching someone being tormented. #BullyingIsNeverOkay

A post shared by Momina Mustehsan (@mominamustehsan) on

Having all this being said, depression is real, and so is mental illness. The endurance of suffering varies from person to person but as humans, it is our prime responsibility to make sure to hear and to be heard because keeping it all in the head can sometimes be just the beginning of the many sufferings.

Hotel Marriott, in Karachi, was shimmering with exceptional pieces of art depicting absolute mastery on the 4th and 5th of September. The art exhibition was organized by the renown, Hashoo Group, in order to pay homage to the epitome of talent, the recipient of the prestigious Pride of Performance award, Eqbal Mehdi.

Eqbal MehdiAbundant art enthusiasts have come under one roof to exhibit sheer joy, celebrating the flamboyant work, done by Late Master Eqbal Mehdi. One of the many spectators has shared her views about this event. She says, “I’m deeply moved by the level of originality in these paintings. These are not just paintings, they are as expressive as entire novels, having a depth along with apt detailing.” The attendees have not only praised Eqbal’s artwork, they also talked about the idea of coming up with the exhibition, at length.

Having inaugurated by none other than the living legend, Anwar Maqsood himself, the exhibition garnered guests from all corners of the country. The people who have graced the event with their presence were not confined to a particular age group or class, the event has accumulated attendees without any barriers or filters.

Eqbal MehdiAlbeit incorporating Pakistan’s big guns, the showcase was much more than that. We spoke to the Head Of Hashoo Art and Antiques, Syed Sharafat Hussain, asking him the reason for this extravaganza. He replied, “All the amount garnered from the sales of these masterpieces will be accommodated for the schools for poverty-stricken children in the Northern Areas and the Cholistan Desert. With a slogan which says, ‘Spreading smiles to miles’, we plan to not only provide academic education to these children, various skills will also be taught with the help of immensely talented teachers with a passion for philanthropy.”

The marketing and communication manager of the group, Laila Farah Naz has emphasized on the brilliant work of the maestro, Eqbal Mehdi. She says, “Eqbal worked excessively to demonstrate the vibrancy of our culture. The paintings he made speak volumes about our heritage and history.” She went on to say, “Fine arts’ students are usually taught about international artists, with little information about the exquisite talent Pakistan always had. I think it is the high time when we teach our students about commendable artists like Sadequain, Eqbal Mehdi, Abdur Rahman Chugtai, etc.”

The juxtaposition of majesty and austerity unveils Pakistan and the people living within its boundaries, with an ace. Have a look at some of the ultimately powerful paintings Eqbal made.
