top-10-anchors-who-can-join-bol-net-wrok

Pakistan’s “biggest media infrastructure” till date “BOL Network” has taken the entire media circuit by storm with its mega-entry in the industry. BOL has provoked an uproar with its mantra of bringing a magnanimous “Media revolution” to Pakistan’s media scene. Just 3 days to its launch and channels have started feeling the heat already. As BOL is now eyeing all prominent Media Moguls in the business to make them a part of the house of BOL, we have compiled a list of some of the news anchors who are most likely to join BOL.

Already, the leading televangelist Amir Liaquat and the high-profile media legend Mubasher Luqman have been hired by BOL Network.

Let’s take a look at some of the potential media anchors and journalists who are likely to join Team BOL and be a part of its revolutionary ride.

1. Shahid Masood

Through out his career, Dr. Shahid Masood has hopped from channel to channel. From ARY to GEO, PTV to Express News, and Royal TV to News One: he does not seem to stick to one place for long. With a ban on Live With Dr. Shahid Masood on ARY, BOL could soon be Dr. Masood’s next stop.

2. Talat Hussain

Talat Hussain has not been affiliated with any channel lately, however, with BOL Network now in town, he can soon join hands with BOL Network. With his style, intelligence and bona fide presentation skills, any channel will be lucky to bag Mr. Hussein.

3. Najam Sethi

Many don’t know this but back in May 2014, but Mr. Sethi of GEO TV rented his house in Gulberg, Lahore to the BOL team for setting up its office in the city. Can this friendly gesture be an indication of any upcoming commitment to BOL network, even after the 16-month ban? Let’s wait and watch.

4. Meher Bokhari

Starting her career from Samaa TV and then Dunya News, famous talk show host, journalist and anchorperson Meher Bokhari is currently working with Dawn News.meher-bokhari-1

5. Waseem Badami

Waseem Badami joined BOL Network when it first aired back in 2014. Badami, who rose to fame with hard-hitting political talk show 11th Hour, left ARY in October 2014 to join the upcoming media network, BOL.

However, in April 2015, due to some conflicts with the upper management, Badami quit BOL and rejoined ARY Network. Can he rejoin BOL Network now it’s in full swing? Only time will tell.

6. Shahzeb Khanzada

Khanzada rose to fame with his show “To the point” on Express News. Currently affiliated with GEO TV, he can be the next in line to join the channel.

7. Sana Bucha

Bucha has left Geo News twice, as a protest on the appointment of Amir Liaqaut earlier. Now busy with modeling and shoots, maybe the revolutionary BOL might please the choosy Sana Bucha and bring her back again to our TV screens.

8. Shaista Lodhi

Shaista Lodhi has had her share of controversies! Remember when she was accused of airing blasphemous content on her morning show on GEO, and her program got suspended- she even fled the country amidst death threats. Currently hosting the morning show on See TV.

9. Sidra Iqbal

An entrepreneur, corporate trainer, youth icon and a media person: the good natured Sidra Iqbal is the darling of all Pakistani channels. There is hardly a channel she has not worked with and we are sure that even BOL won’t be able to resist making her a part of the grand team.

sidra-iqbal-on-aaj-news

10. Jasmeen Manzoor

Amongst many other names, Jasmeen Manzoor is also being rumored to have been approached by BOL TV.  Renowned for her tough talking and audacity, her career came to a halt when she resigned from Samaa after four years. She later joined Ab Tak News and currently works at News One.

Dr. Ghina, Breaking Stereotypes: A Symbol of Pride

Mother of two, Dr. Ghina is one of the few devoted female surgeons of Pakistan, setting a great example for the upcoming female generation by breaking the common stereotype that the working women are labelled with.

It is said that when a woman is working she has a hard time managing her work & family simultaneously but a quick look at Dr. Ghina life’s is proving this common perception wrong.

For women in Pakistan education sometimes takes a back seat which was never the case with Dr. Ghina as her parents wanted her to join the field of medicine which she did and through their support she is currently regarded as one of the best surgeons in Pakistan.

Dr. Ghina specializes in Breast and Colon Cancer surgery, she completed her education from Baqai Medical, trained at the Aga Khan University and currently heads the Post Graduate Medical Education Department at Indus Hospital.

No doubt, being a surgeon requires full time attention and devotion and to be on the track Dr. Ghina chose her professional life over her social life. Being a proud Pakistani woman she attributes her success to both her parents who stood by her side in through thick & thin.

Dr. Ghina strongly believes in Almighty’s plans and instills the same values in her children. Despite being a very busy person she manages to help her daughters in their studies. Her daughters are always in an awe of their amazing mother and her preference to spend time with them regardless of being overworked.

Dr. Shamsi feels blessed and happy to have a supportive family which respects her decisions. As content as she is to have an understanding family, she is also very glad to work in an environment where she’s comfortable. Her work helps her be a part of the ever progressive women of Pakistan and she’s proud of it.

If we wish to be truly inspired, we should look upto people like Dr. Ghina who continues to move forward regardless of all the daily life struggles.

Seeta Bagri Drama TVOne ft. Sarwat Gillani: Promos, Timings & Schedule

TV One’s Seeta Bagri talks about inter-faith harmony and religious tolerance   

With an aim to promote religious harmony in the country, the leading television channel, TV One, has teamed up with renowned actor Adnan Siddiqui for Seeta Bagri – a drama serial based on a life of a Hindu girl.

Shot in actual locations, Seeta Bagri gives a sneak peak to the lives of monitories residing in the country showing the flamboyant festivities of Hindu culture.

Written and directed by Iqbal Hosain, the drama has an ensemble cast included Sarwat Gillani, Bushra Ansari, Qawi Khan, Jibran, Shameen Khan, Shabbir Jan and Hasan Niazi.

Encapsulating the life of a Pakistani Hindu girl, the drama shows the trails and triumphs of Seeta and how her Muslim friends stand by her side during turbulent times. As a strong advocate of women education, Seeta gives complementary teaching classes to underprivileged girls of her community.

The drama has elements of romance passion, hidden desires and revenge beautifully immersed into the story making Seeta Bagri the much-anticipated drama serial of the year.

Actor turned producer Adnan Siddiqui while talking about the drama said that he considered it as a CSR responsibility to invest in a story that would send out a positive message to the viewers.

“As it’s my first production I want to take on a project which is not only different but has beautiful message embed into it. I strongly believe that one shouldn’t be different but with a class of difference and I have done the same with this drama,” he said.

While it was not easy for Adnan Siddiqui to invest his money in a project based on minorities, the enduring support of TV One makes the process smoother for him – and the actor was quick in giving the channel the due credit.

“Before coming to TV One, I approached other channels too but they all refused it saying it’s risky to air a story based on minorities. Unlike others, CEO TV One, Seema Tahir trusted me and provided complete support for this project,” he said.

He also added that TV One never hesitates to experiment and promote quality content irrespective of any prejudice.

Apple Announces 27 October Event: New MacBook Pros Expected

According to sources, Apple is being expected to launch a new series of their new generation Mac computers at a press event, which is to be on 27th October. The company sent out invites telling the entire world that they have something in store for them using the caption ‘hello again’ with a colorful Apple logo sporting a touch of a galaxy theme, on Wednesday, 19th October.

Judging from the logo, it is being expected that the company will launch the latest versions of their Mac series with major changes and tweaks. According to rumors, the MacBook will sport a touch-sensitive OLED strip which will be replacing the old screen, running along the top of the keyboard. Rumors also suggest that it will have a biometric sensor for fingerprint scanning and a thinner body, no more USB-A and a reversible USB-C.

According to The Guardian, it is being speculated the 11-inch MacBook Air, the company’s cheapest laptop, will be dropped from the line-up, with Apple offering the more expensive 12-inch MacBook – confusingly, largely the same size as the Air – for those who need a lightweight computer for traveling.

The MacBook Pro line hasn’t been updated since May 2015, when it received a minor suite of upgrades including a speed bump, better battery life, and a “Force Touch” trackpad.

Pakistani Female News Reporter Slapped by a Police Officer On Air: Social Media Outraged!

saima-kanwal-lead

In a shocking turn of events, a female TV news reporter was slapped by a Frontier Constabulary (FC) trooper in Karachi on Friday, and social media is outraged!

In a country where subjects like honor killing and sexual harassment are being raised and discussed openly, and the nation was joyous about the recently passed Honor Killing Bill in the Parliament, a woman reporter has been assaulted on live camera and it’s NOT okay!

The female reporter of a private news channel K-21, Saima Kanwal was doing a report on NADRA office where people were waiting in long queues.

The police officer was constantly misbehaving with the women who were waiting at the NADRA office and even tried to stop the reporter from shooting.

Saima then cornered the police official for manhandling and misbehaving with the ladies and after much provoking and prodding, the police official slapped her on live TV!

Watch full video below:

https://youtu.be/GYaicWuO3Ig

It is being reported that the officer, Hassan Abbas also fired 18 air shots and tortured the cameraman and the driver. There were empty gun shells that were shown lying on the ground as well.

As the video went viral, there were all kinds of reactions being observed. Most of the people condemned the incident labeling it as shocking and violent while there were some people who actually supported it. They claimed that since women demand equality, this is an example of that and had there been a guy in Sadaf’s place, he would have been treated the same way. It is simply not justified to hit anyone, not matter how annoying they are;

Twitter was outraged- here are some reactions:

https://twitter.com/iKhuzaima/status/789316516923727872

The police have confirmed that a case has been registered against the guard for ‘assaulting’ and “conducting aerial firing.” Nadra office has also filed a complaint against the TV Channel K-21 for hindering the official work at NADRA office.

Do you think it was justified to hit anyone like this, be it a man or a woman? Let us know in the comments below.

Aamir Khan’s Response on Fawad Khan’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Controversy Will Disappoint You!

Controversies regarding the release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in India has taken the whole of Bollywood by storm.  Some superstars of tinsel town are quite vocal about ADHM’s ban owing to the presence of the Pakistani celebrity, Fawad Khan in the cast. Other artists prefer to remain silent. Aamir Khan is amongst the latter.

While present at MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival, Mr. Perfectionist was asked by the media about no Pakistani movies and ADHM being screened at the film fest.

Khan smartly saved himself by choosing not to reveal much.

“You have to take this with the MAMI organizers as to why Pak films are not aired”

It seems Khan prefers to stay out of all the hullabaloo and does not want to be caught in the spree of debates.

PSO Denies Any Imminent Fuel Shortage in Pakistan

Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has denied any imminent fuel shortage in Pakistan and assured smooth transition to new fuels in due course of time

PSO would like to refute the impression that is being created by some circles that there will be the shortage of fuel in the country in the next few days owing to the decision of the government to import higher grades of Mogas and compliance of the same by all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).

PSO would like to clarify that as opposed to the claims made; the company has sufficient quantities of Mogas and assures the public that there will be no shortage of fuel for its customers at PSO outlets across the nation.

PSO does not operate on short term gains or minimize its stocks and will continue to honor its commitment of fuelling the nation under all circumstances irrespective of commercial benefit to itself as our topmost priority and commitment is to keep the wheels of the country running.

Being a responsible OMC, PSO has and will always strive to ensure a smooth fuel supply to its customers. All PSO retail outlets are receiving regular fuel supplies and there is no disruption in the company’s supply chain network anywhere in the country.

The present government has decided to replace RON 87 and has also deregulated RON 95/97. 92 RON will be imported from November 2016. PSO has moved ahead on its plan by awarding contracts out of which the first consignment to bring 55,000 tons would reach the country in November 2016.

It is to be noted that the High Octane Blending Content (HOBC) sold in Pakistan is RON 97. The local refineries (except for Attock RON 87) will be producing 90 RON petrol from the beginning of November 2016 as well.

The policy steps taken are a paradigm shift for Pakistan’s oil industry and in providing clean fuels that will assist the climate change plans of the country. PSO assures the people of Pakistan that the transition to new improved quality fuels will be a smooth one.

Clinton vs Trump Presidential Campaign: Who Will Win?

trump-vs-clinton

Recently participating in the third and final presidential debate, Clinton dominated Trump, leading by a significant number of points, which increased, with every debate. It was estimated that there is an 87.3% chance that Clinton will win these presidential elections, considering that she is in a battle against Donald Trump.

Although, the security failures ahead of the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi still remains to be a fault on her part, with her promising policies she has since made up for her mistakes.

On the topic of immigration, Clinton has vowed to everybody that she would “offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship.”.

[fb_embed_post href=”https://www.facebook.com/HuffingtonPost/photos/a.443444786129.234228.18468761129/10154335305121130/?type=3&theater/” width=”550″/]

 

One of the lines that stand out the most from her campaign speeches is the one where she fights for equal pay. Being the first female nominee for president she has said that, “Donald Trump can accuse me of playing the woman card all he wants, but if fighting for equal pay and affordable childcare and paid family leave is playing the woman card, then deal me in.”

Watch the Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump 3rd Presidential Debate below:



Hilary Rodham Clinton is considered to be one of the most influential politicians in the world. Having always impressed others with her worldly views, she was making a name for herself at the ripe age of 21 as she was asked by her university to give the commencement speech at her class’ graduation.

hilary-clinton

After her marriage to Bill Clinton, she stayed by his side despite his ups and downs.  She continually juggled her job at the law firm and raising their only daughter, Chelsea. Running for the President again, she has finally brought some much-needed hope that America needs.

Donald Trump, a former TV personality known for his affiliation with the Miss Universe franchise, decided to run for president this year out of what looks like pure boredom.

He holds no aura of professionalism as various incidents have come up rendering him inadequate to run for president.

trump

A recent video released of him making crass and suggestive comments that hint to him sexually assaulting various women. Along with these failures, Trump continues to fail these debates, there is still a chance for him to win these elections even though he has made several claims of them being rigged in Clinton’s favor.

Here are some funny Trump vs Clinton reactions that’ll make your day!

Pakistan vs West Indies Second Match: Can the Shaheens win to Whitewash the Cup?

It’s Pakistan vs West Indies once again, and this time, the Green Caps cannot afford to make even a single crucial mistake if they want to take the cup away from right under the Indies noses and win the Haier Cup Series with a whitewash. The Green Team has performed an excellent game play throughout the cup so far, managing an unbeatable win in both the T20 and ODI platforms.

The second Test Match will start today in Abu Dhabi and will be played with the traditional red ball following an action packed innings in a day-night pink ball match, which Pakistan won by a margin of 56-runs. The hosts managed to score a massive score of 579 for 3 while West Indies went all out for 357. Skipper Azhar Ali made his career best 302-runs in a historic match, as Pakistan also became the first Asian country to play a day-night match, in their 400th Test.

Top 10 Most Handsome Cricketers From Around the World

“It will be tough. With the kind of confidence the West Indian batsmen have got, it will be difficult to get them out in the second Test,” said Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq. “I think both teams are used to the red ball and have more idea of it — batsmen and bowlers know how the red ball behaves — spinners and fast bowlers will get more help and there will be reverse swing.”

“We did miss him (talking about Babar Azam),” said Misbah. “The pink ball used to be unplayable when we used it in domestic matches in Pakistan but here it didn’t work like that.” That hints Babar will likely replace Sohail Khan and will make way for experienced batsman Younis Khan who had missed the first Test as he was recovering from dengue fever.

West Indies are likely to remain unchanged as captain Jason Holder takes positives from his team’s fight in Dubai. “There were a lot of positives from the first Test, so we need to keep that momentum and approach,” said Holder. “We gave two chances to Ali and paid the price for that so we have to take our chances,” said Holder of the two dropped catches of Ali on 17 and 190.

Pakistan vs West Indies Squads

Pakistan (squad): Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Azhar Ali, Sami Aslam, Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan, Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Yasir Shah, Zulfiqar Babar, Rahat Ali, Sohail Khan and Imran Khan.

West Indies (squad): Jason Holder (captain), Kraigg Brathwaite, Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope, Leon Johnson, Alzarri Joseph, Marlon Samuels and Jomel Warrican.

Third Test

The third and final Test will be played in Sharjah from October 30-November 3.

Sajjal Ali’s Upcoming Bollywood Debut Movie ‘Mom’ Now in Trouble!

sajjal

Seems like Sajjal Ali’s upcoming Bollywood debut titled ‘Mom’ has also landed itself in hot waters. The movie went on the floors in March this year in Delhi and also features Adnan Siddiqui in a vital role.

Amidst the Pak-India soaring tensions, the movie faced a halt right one day before the end of the schedule. According to Pinkvilla, the reason behind the trouble is that there are two Pakistani actors in the movie, namely Sajjal Ali who plays Sri Devi’s daughter & Adnan Siddiqui who plays her husband.

Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the aggravating Indo-Pak tensions are the reason why the film Mom is facing major troubles!

An inside source revealed: “After Delhi, we had a two-month schedule in Georgia in May. The remaining portions will most probably be shot in Mumbai but it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon given the current situation. We’re waiting to hear about the final schedule.”

Producer of the movie, Boney Kapoor, who is also Sri Devi’s husband explained how only a day’s work is left in the movie’s completion but he refused to comment about the film’s release.

Sajal Aly is playing the role of an 18-year-old daughter of Sridevi. Here are some pictures of her on the sets of the movie along with other stars.

Shaan Shahid Ends Fight With Ali Zafar, Congratulates The Singer on Pakistani Movie Debut!

shaan shahid

The whole of Pakistan’s entertainment industry is a witness to the aggressive feud between Shaan Shahid and Ali Zafar. But it seems, both the stars have now come to peace. Just today, the actor took to Facebook and congratulated the singer on his new upcoming movie.

See what Shaan Shahid shared about Ali Zafar here!

[fb_embed_post href=”https://www.facebook.com/officialshaanshahid/photos/a.166053436835168.36470.162094090564436/1107340399373129/?type=3/” width=”550″/]

Earlier, at a film awards show in 2014, Shaan  badly bashed Pakistani superstars who ventured into projects from across the border. The veteran seemingly took a subtle dig at Ali Zafar, while labeling all the artists as “cheap sell-outs”.

In the same ceremony, Ali Zafar while accepting an award said in his speech that it was wrong of Shaan to blame stars who went to Bollywood as “sell-outs”.

“We make excuses to hide our weaknesses, sometimes, in the name of patriotism, sometimes, in the name of other things. We should speak the truth and the time has come when the new generation should be told the truth,” said Ali Zafar.

But the fight between the duo seems to have come to an end with Shaan Shahid’s heart-warming post. He surely made us all proud by welcoming Ali Zafar in the industry.

Shaan Shahid Criticizes Pakistani Celebrities For Not Supporting Pakistan Army

In light of recently cold war between Pakistan and India, Pakistani celebrities are being driven away from Bollywood. Thus, Ali Zafar’s upcoming Indian movie is in great jeopardy.

However, the news of his movie debut is indeed a big achievement for the singing sensation. The announcement is out at a time when Pakistani cinemas are in dire need of local entertainment ventures. With the recent ban of Bollywood movies in Pakistan, seems like it’s time we start promoting our own movies even more.

Ali Zafar’s Pakistani Movie Debut is Finally Happening & We Can Not Wait!
