Airing one after another hit dramas and creating history by setting new milestones, ARY Digital does not seem to pause anytime soon. Recently, two teasers of the upcoming drama Bewafa have been released and they depict the story of a man who is apparently stuck in between his family and someone else.

Related: Here is why Meray Paas Tum Ho is trending!

The first teaser delineates Ali Rehman Khan talking to someone over the call when suddenly his spouse, Navin Waqar interrupts asking who was he calling. Notwithstanding visible fear on his face, he still tells her that it is someone called Muntansar from work and hands over the phone to her. However, in the next scene, Muntansar happens to be Ushna Shah who is in contact with Ali but his spouse does not know anything about her.

In the next teaser, he brings flowers for Ushna and tells her that he wants to spend time with her and he feels as if he has burnt his home just to keep his hands warm. Navin sees his photos with Ushna and asks whether he had gone for lunch with her. He denies her suspicion and tells her that he was never in contact with Shireen (Ushna).

Bewafa, as its name suggests is a visual delight that delves into the story of a household and the betrayer, Ali Rehman Khan who is apparently in love with Ushna Shah while Navin Waqar is his lawfully wedded wife. The drama is all set to hold you spellbound real soon, only on ARY Digital.

The moment I realised I’m getting married, I knew I wanted to wear my Amma’s nikkah jora. I have always been drawn to old world charm and the nazakat of bridal joras back in the day. There is also a certain emotional attachment that comes with wearing you mother’s jora. Maheen Shah helped me alter it exactly the way I wanted it, preserving its delicacy and purity but also creating something that looks good on me. Having worn it, I can say it was easily the best decision I made. I also did my own hair and makeup because I wanted to keep it simple and minimal. Your wedding day is supposed to be a happy day that you can truly enjoy. It’s okay if you don’t to wear the heaviest jewellery and would rather keep it a little light. Your comfort and happiness is the most important thing!

And Naintara lived happily ever after in Hassad

“Jealousy is certainly a poison you drink, expecting others to die of it,” says Zareen’s mother in the last episode, with teary eyes watching her only daughter living her worst days. Hassad has literally epitomized escalating cancer we call jealousy and enviousness.

From the happy go lucky days to Naintara’s days of predicament, Hassad has grabbed the attention of a huge populace; wider than that of any other drama for the year 2019 by staying in the list of top trending videos on Youtube every week.

The visual delight delves into the story of a person (Zareen) who is always insecure. She not only envies Naintara for having a lovey-dovey husband, but she also fights with her husband demanding his attention and time in spite of knowing he is working long hours for the sake of her better future only.

Related: Reasons why Hassad is trending

Moreover, after the sad demise of Arman, she tries her best to get Naintara out of the house. Women in our country are the most vulnerable humans when it comes to character assassination and Zareen and her entire family uses this tactic to make sure Naintara’s relation with her mother in law and Farhan becomes cloudy.

However, the struggle to generate hatred in the hearts only ended up in bringing Naintara closer to not only her mother in law but also to Farhan, so much so that he agrees to marry her for the sake of a secure future. This turns the flames of hatred to the wildfire of revenge and Zareen leaves no stones unturned to tarnish Naintara’s respect in the eyes of other family members.

Related: Hassad is all about jealousy and enviousness

Naintara spends most of the time trying to prove her innocence but she is constantly humiliated and victimized by Zareen and her family. Zareen’s mother and brother want her to be happy in her household and hence they help her in all the evil plans to make Naintara feel ashamed for the sins she never committed.

Similarly, in the last episode, Zareen and her brother conspire to end Naintara’s chapter once and for all by planning to throw acid on her face. Notwithstanding her mother’s disapproval, Zareen tries to throw acid on Naintara that subsequently kills her unborn child due to stress.

Karma would not have let her get away with such a grave sin. Therefore, in spite of doing her best to ruin Naintara’s life, she becomes mentally retarded and also gets canceled by her husband and mother-in-law who is also her maternal aunt.

Hassad does not only have an exceptional storyline, but it also touches upon one of the most harrowing issues of our society; jealousy. Every person has a different life and we should respect and appreciate that. Also, in order to spend a happy life, we need to count our blessings and ask whether we have done something so especial to be living with all the amenities and comforts that we have.

Indian photographer posts photos of Kashmir that will send shivers down your spine

Ever thought of spending a day without internet, television, mobile phone, or any phone for that matter? Well, the people of Kashmir are living in the absence of any sort of connection with their family members, let alone with the media for forty days. What happens in Kashmir stays in Kashmir and not even the ex-opposition leader of Democratic India, Rahul Gandhi is allowed to get into the warzone, once known as the prettiest piece of paradise on Earth.

Pakistanis and Muslims in different parts of the world are protesting against the calamity Kashmiris are enduring regularly. A few Indians are also being vocal on the issue because of the blatant abrogation of not just Article 370, but also human rights.

Avani Rai, a photographer, and videographer based in India is one of the few Indians who want the government to at least give Kashmiris a chance to speak. Soon after the lockdown, Rai exhibited the photographs of Kashmir she had taken since 2016. Talking to an Indian media outlet she says, “The reason I am a photographer today is because of Kashmir. I felt the need to pick up the camera when I was in Kashmir.”

The photographer posts at least a photo from the valley everyday unveiling the days they had spent before the ongoing lockdown.

Every time she comes back from Kashmir, she brings “back a lot of love.”

The doctors of Kashmir are certainly as fierce and brave as any soldier in the whole wide world. Working on wounded people in the midst of chaos and wildfire is not something everyone can do.

‘They make a desolation and call it peace.’ Agha Shahid Ali They made the most important decision for the people of Kashmir after shutting them down in their houses and suspending any form of communication with the rest of the world. Under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) of 1973 empowers an executive magistrate to prohibit an assembly of more than four persons in an area. According to 141-149 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the maximum punishment for engaging in rioting is rigorous imprisonment for 3 years and/or fine. (most of those who are celebrating the bloodshed that is waiting to happen have never been to Kashmir and neither do they plan on) We have lost Kashmir forever (the most militarised land on earth). No debate. No dissent. No discussion. Today we have debated about Kashmir without a single voice from Kashmir. They have been silenced without knowing way. We should be ashamed.

In a recent turn of events, the businessman, Shehwaar ends up liking Mehwish. He also displays his admiration for her time and again in both the presence and absence of her husband Danish who is mostly insecure of him for talking to and about her ever since she had danced with him in the Mehndi.

On the other hand, Danish starts to accept bribes for his signatures on various documents due to his wife’s desire for a precious necklace. In order to get her a car to travel, he takes a heavy bribe of Rs 1 Million. However, he returns the amount and as a result, his better half gets sad.

The fifth episode delves into the family’s dinner at Shehwaar’s place, or perhaps his palace. From their formal chat to the talk Shehwaar and Mehwish had while he took her for the home theatre, everything has kept spectators glued to their seats, wanting for more. The dinner scene also gives us another clue of what Shehwaar is up to. He keeps pouring hints about how Danish and Mehwish are not living the lives they should and how the former is not keeping the latter in a way she deserves.

When asked about whether he broke up with his spouse, Shehwaar talks about how absence can not only be taken as a form of a break-up. The episode concludes with the precious gifts he gives to the family.

Following the episode, Adnan took to Instagram to post the video clips shedding light on what a break-up actually means. He wrote, “To me when the hearts are not aligned then there is no point in staying with a person. We often underestimate the power of good moments. We as humans are scared of detaching from our loved ones.”

Seems like ARY Digital has made a promise to let the bar of flamboyancy of its dramas stay at the top and nothing less. After topping all charts of success through one after other exceptional dramas, ARY Digital is all revved up to enthrall the audiences with the absolutely astounding duo of Mikaal Zulfiqar and Sana Javed in the upcoming visual treat, Ruswai.

So far three teasers have released and they depict a juxtaposition of a love story and a gruesome tale of horrors. The first teaser delineates the gorgeous Sana Javed, having a fun time with her family amid laughter and happiness. Just when the family finishes dinner and is on the way back to their car, some lurid men impelled by frustration and criminal minds kidnap Sana right in front of her family members with her father begging for mercy.

The second teaser delves into the love story of Mikaal and Sana and their adorable shenanigans. They seem to be so much in love with each other in three scenes; the one at the beach, the one at a family event and the one at the hospital. It also shows the bubbly nature of Sana and how amazing of a time she spends with her family. However, the teaser also flashes some scenes of the heinous kidnap.

The third teaser sheds light on the ordeal she goes through once she gets back home. Notwithstanding the trauma she finds herself in after coming back, she tries her hard to live a life she once lived but it is not just her who is suffering, her entire family is. Mikaal, who appears to be in the air force strives to get her back to life.

Ruswai is directed by the veteran actress Rubina Ashraf and produced by Humayun Saeed’s Six Sigma Entertainment. The drama incorporates adroit actors such as Osama Tahir, Minah Tariq, legendary actors, Mohammad Ahmed, Usman Peerzada, and Seemi Raheel.
