By Rehan Shahzada Once upon a time when there was only one channel called “PTV” (Pakistan Television) and the people of Pakistan were emotionally attached to this channel not because of their hosts but the amount of filtered entertainment which was the symbol of PTV and which truly represented the ideology and culture of that 80’s...
Since morning, I have been reading Facebook statuses like “RIP Mehdi Hassan” and “Mehdi Hassan Sahab you will always be missed” etc.
When I woke up today and checked my FB stream, these were a few related statuses that came on the top stories of my Facebook news feed. One can imagine, how one would feel after receiving this shocking/drastic news at the early phase of the day.
Being a web publisher, I searched Google News to get the confirmation of the news from any authentic and reliable source. As doubted, no mainstream media had covered the news lately and the only source which made the headline “Legendary Mehdi Hassan passes away” was the web portal RadioandMusic.Com. We are not sure who first spread this false rumor, but a couple of publications that first published this story online, has already taken it off now, which again confirms that no such thing occurred.

Meesha Shafi and Mahmood Rahman are both in trouble for allegations against stealing equipment from Farhad Humayun’s studio, what some online sources say is probably a vocal processor. The Lahore court has even issued a warrant on Monday against these two former-members of Overload. However, Mahmood is in denial of any such legal action against the two of them saying, “The report is completely false”. Some sources, however, say that they have confessed to their guilt of doing such an act.
Farhad still maintains that this is the case, but he would not like to make a big fuss out of fear of giving bad reputation to Overload’s former band members. Despite apparently showing a soft corner for Meesha and Mahmood, he used strong words saying:
“I guess the word got out because the court issued a statement. It usually does when criminals don’t appear for the hearing.” (more…)
Ali Azmat in a recent interview talked about Junoon’s 20th Anniversary Album and also explained the issues between Junoon’s front man Salman Ahmad and him. Ali told that he actually wants to do something for music but music is only a matter of cash for him(Salman).
“I don’t want to associate my name with Junoon anymore because he has used false marketing”, said the rock-star Ali Azmat. (more…)

Update: The song “Saanson mein” was supposed to be release with a movie soundtrack of a popular bollywood Movie, but at the time of soundtrack release, it couldn’t be included in the movie for some reasons. Artist and Bollywood producers are still in contact with each other. And will soon collaborate for another Bollywood venture.
However, we have confirmed from Zaain’s management that this specific movie “Tell Me O Khuda” HAS NOT ANY SONG OF ZAAIN in it, as they have not been notified about it yet. Therefore this leak should be considered only as a rumor and false promotion without any known intention. The artist management and us are unaware about the anonymous source pushing the song and the video.
As we reported few months ago that Chue Chue Fame Artist Zaain-ul-Abideen has sung a song for Bollywood Movie. Today, that song has apparently released/leaked, as we are tipped by an anonymous source.
Below is one video trailer from Hema Malini’s Movie “Tell Me O Khuda” starring Esha Deol, Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Arjan Bajwa, Dharmendra, Hema Malini etc.
One song “Saanson Mein” from the movie soundtrack is apparently sung by our own Zain-ul-Abideen, as we reported earlier. The movie soundtrack of Tell Me O Khuda is composed by Pritam and is expected to release on 23rd September 2011.
Listen the full song in the below embedded video: ( the song Sanson mein is also included in Zaain’s Debut Album ZEAL ) (more…)
There has been complete state of uncertainty about the release of upcoming and most talked Pakistani Urdu feature film BOL. We have been hearing about its release since last September. First, Atif Aslam told some media persons that its gonna hit in Sept. 2010 to the Cinemas. But it couldn’t ! then we were told by a film crew member that its gonna be release in both Pakistan and India at the same time , that’s why it is being delayed. The New Date was Jan 2011.
Just moments ago VJ Mahira added another date and hoped for its release. She wrote a status on Facebook which read:
‘BOL’ will release in April hopefully
Here is the screen shot of the status update and profile of Vj Mahira Khan Askari :
So Folks, don’t get so much excited about the movie and take a chill pill, as the movie is not releasing very soon , as Pakistan hasn’t witnessed media releases on time.
We have some weird and shocking news about the delaying situation of BOL The movie but we are keeping our mouth shut as requested by the sources. Once we get the green signal it will be revealed as well here. So keep checking this blog regularly and in case you just missed our complete coverage about BOL
Update: We have just been reported by Hassan of ApniISP that the facebook profile of Mahira Khan Askari is not an official one and any status updated to it can’t be taken as a statement. Therefore, we are updating back our readers about this false story that was tipped to us by someone and we just published it after checking the authenticity of the profile with 54 mutual friends with it. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but here arise a question again how such fake profile of a renown celebrity hasn’t even reported and deleted. Unfortunately even after this news the film management and marketing team of BOL is sleeping and not disseminating information about the release of this upcoming high rated flick.
Here is that FAKE PROFILE OF VJ MAHIRA KHAN ASKARI, Please Report It. Thanks
