Since the blessed month is upon during summers, it is essential to take care of your diet. Now, this certainly does not mean you need to focus on losing weight. That’s not what we’re here for. Taking care of your diet, especially during Ramadan, means that you need to consume foods that help maintain your energy levels and avoid the unhealthy food temptations you get in this month.

Individuals who choose to fast need to understand what goes on in the state of fasting; Unhealthy eating patterns may lead to discomfort and other health issues.

We have compiled a list of 5 foods that you should avoid during Ramadan to stay healthy

1. Simple or refined carbohydrates

Refined carbohydrates are food that lasts only up to 3 to 4 hours and are low in essential nutrients. These foods include sugars, white flour, pastries, donuts, croissants. So, if you’re looking for good carbs, try to consume nuts, lots of vegetables, lentils, beans, and whole grains.

2. Caffeine

If you’re a coffee-lover, then you would know that caffeine causes insomnia and restlessness. Moreover, in addition to that, caffeine has no properties of keeping you hydrated. Consuming it during Suhoor will keep you longing for water all day. For the time being, control your coffee consumption.

3. Foods that have too much oil

There’s no doubt that oily food is harmful. And before you grab that roll, samosa, or pakora, keep in mind that they have a high percentage of the daily recommended fat. Consuming these regularly may increase fatigue and exhaustion caused by fasting in Ramadan. So, think twice before you for the second one!

4. Foods that have a high amount of salt

Whether you’re fasting or not, an imbalance of sodium levels in your body can make you feel very thirsty. However, if you’re fasting, avoid any food items that have high amounts of salt in them, such as soy sauce, salted nuts, pickles, and chips. Salt can be very harmful.

What’s your Ramadan diet like? If you follow a specific diet plan, especially in Ramadan, let us know in the comments below. We would love to see how you’re keeping yourselves healthy in Ramadan.

There are a lot of emerging technologies these days. Despite there being so much combustion engine usage, a lot of people are looking for alternates. They know that fossil fuels are bound to run out soon and they will need to resort to alternates. Keeping this in mind, BMW has decided to release a hydrogen-based car by 2022.

This comes as pleasant news because many brands are working on alternate methods. It now seems that electricity is not the only way to go when it comes to vehicles. Where there are motors, there are also hydrogen fuel cells. In recent news, BMW teased the presence of such a vehicle on Twitter. It is going by the name of ‘X5’ and there is a lot of prospect for it.

BMW X5 Hydrogen

The vehicle mentioned there is going to be in the SUV category. This means that you can easily take your whole family on a road trip. Not just family but this can be viable for road trips with friends too. When it comes to SUVs, people want comfort and the BMW X5 will offer it all. This SUV will come equipped with a fuel cell e-drive, which emits only water vapour. This fuel cell technology can generate up to 125kW of electric power.

This shows that the vehicle emits nothing but water vapour. This reminds one of the time when news of a water-run car was circulating the internet. Everyone was talking about how the car runs now water. While this is massively different, water vapour does make us recall that time. The SUV also accommodates a pair of 700 bar tanks. They can hold a total of six kilograms of hydrogen. You may feel the car get a bit heavy on full fuel but there is a remote chance of it.

Emerging Tech

The hydrogen tanks guarantee that there will be no problem in the range of the vehicle. While it is known that electric car ranges can be affected by cold weather, there is no such concern here. You can drive in the heat or the cold and you will still get substantial kilometres out of it. Refuelling will only take three to four minutes, which beats a lot of times in the cars of today.

Soon, we shall get to see the hydrogen-powered X5 in the market. A lot of people are looking for alternative energy solutions and this seems like a viable one. Despite there being a negative talk on the market, a lot can be proven wrong by this vehicle. Additionally, we know that it is BMW so there will be no compromise on quality. Let us take a moment to check out how does hydrogen fuel cell technology work. We have a small video for you to ponder upon.

Let us hope BMW succeeds in their venture and we see this technology develop as fast as electric cars.

Despite there being a pandemic worldwide and businesses shutting down, Elon Musk seemingly became the richest CEO of 2020. Why did this happen? What exactly happened at Tesla to make this person into the richest one ever. Today, Elon Musk is the third richest person in the world but he did not get there overnight. However, let us point out that it took merely a few months for this to happen.

Elon Musk And Tesla

Back when Elon sold his old company, he decided to invest in an unknown car company by the name of Tesla. Today, their electric cars are set to bring about a revolution on the globe. In March 2020, his net worth was $24.6 Billion. Right now, he is sitting at a net worth of $165.7 Billion. One cannot even grasp how a company can take this big a leap in less than a year.

Last year, Musk was paid about $11 Billion in Tesla stock options, according to Forbes estimates. This was all part of a compensation plan that was spread out over a decade. This compensation package is divide into 12 tranches. It was first worth $2.3 billion, in 2018. However, it was not until 2020 that this plan started to roll forward properly. Back then, Tesla shares were $70 per piece. Right now, they are over $600 per piece. The total shares were 101.2 million.

Bounding Forward

Each of the 12 tranches of options vests upon both rising market capitalization goals and operational milestones. The market-cap milestones are based on a trailing monthly average. Usually, you may see them starting at $100 Billion and increasing $50 billion afterwards. However, in the case of Tesla, the company rose to a market capitalization of $650 billion by the end of 2020.

After how much the tranch options were worth to Elon Musk, there was a lot of calculation done. Finally, we came to find out that the options added $11 Billion to Musk’s fortune. Elon Musk must hold the newly awarded Tesla share for at least five years. While he may not show up on a lot of lists, you now know how highly paid the CEO is. He started the company from unknown roots and now resides quite high on the food chain.

This opens up a lot of prospects for the company itself. The world is looking to move towards a clean energy era and Tesla just may be a front runner in that race. Their developments in automotive are putting them bounds ahead of the competition. However, we must remember that the goal is the same and everyone wants to be in this race.

This Brand Is Rolling Out Post-Vaccine Cards & It’s So Thoughtful

While the digital world is constantly improvising, sometimes, to connect better, it is not the non-digital practices that introduce more emotions. And when the pandemic has forced you into self-isolation with none or minimal human touch, you need to go to traditional methods to bring emotions back to life. Post Vaccine cards are just that, a way to get back emotions.

Post pandemic world

What would be a reason to celebrate in these times? The covid vaccine course, am I wrong? But the population is large, and the vaccine courses are happening in phases. So while a family may be getting vaccinated, their neighbors may not, nor would their relatives residing in some other town. So how to wish the vaccinated people a return to what would be the new normal?

Simplest, safest, and the most caring way ever devised; cards.

post vaccine cards
Image Source: Youtube

It is true that cards require you to write words in them which you can easily text as well. But with the influx of messages, and notifications, these well thought off messages get lost. However, when you receive a card, you are able to see the effort the sender has put in, so you save it in a box or put it up on your fridge.

Post Vaccine cards

Every time you will look at the card, you will be reminded of the sender and every time you will feel a little emotionally closer to the person you have been socially distancing from.

Isn’t this just the best idea?

So tell others when you hear that they have been vaccinated that you care. Tell them you think about them. And tell it all through these post vaccine cards. Tell it all because cards where you manually write a message for someone, they speak your heart to the receiver. And isn’t it time that we say it all considering pandemic has told us, we do not have forever.

Pakistani Girls Have A Lot To Say About This Bride’s Entry

From time to time, a picture or a video goes to the internet, and for some element within that video, it goes viral. A similar thing happened yesterday when someone posted a video of a bride’s entry. The lavishness broadcasted in that video was blinding. Or it could be the extravagant fireworks present on the scene. Regardless, the video was shared claiming that all girls would want such an entry. But Pakistani girls didnt agree with it.

First, let’s look at the video, shall we?

In the video, we can see that a girl is wearing her wedding dress and someone is holding Quran above her head. She is standing outside a house which is bursting with fire but not in a negative way. Let’s just say, it looks like how we celebrate Shab e Baraat.

People had the best comments for it though.

This Twitter guy said th emost witty thing ever making us literally rolling on floor laughing out loud (roflol). He said this looks less like a bride’s entry and more like an undertaker’s entry, and he ain’t that wrong either.

But since the tweet assumed that all girls want such entries, it was necessary to see how the girls were reacting to it. And well, they made us proud.

Pakistani girls and their Twitter comments

According to them, not all girls want it because by this time the brides are dead tired, not to mention the smoke whch can give even a healthy person an asthma attack.

Some other girls called it extravagant as well. So it is clear that not all girls fall in that stereotype. We are proud of you.

But now, to sum it up, let’s cover the tweet of this guy who thinks he is funny by rolling out that old spider man in Pakistan joke.

But if you want to enjoy your wedding your way without any societal pressures, why not?

The pandemic came like an unseen bombshell that introduced us to a new normal. Just like commercial businesses, industries, and the services industry was hit by COVID-19, similarly, the advertising world bared major setbacks too. The communication had come to a halt, materializing ideas became a challenge, and the growing uncertainty between agencies and brands was rampant.

Adjusting to this new normal was not an easy task for an industry that thrives on communication and human interaction. As agencies and brands embraced the new way of working, they started to route their communication through the digital medium. The level of productivity may not have decreased, but making things work was difficult enough and a challenge in itself. However, with diligence, hard work, patience, and persistence the advertising and marketing sector carved its way through those difficult times that still do continue to haunt us but have not stopped us from being resilient.

Stranger Things has got to be our favourite show and it’s incredible how it appeals to audiences of all ages. As we wait for season 3 anxiously and excitedly, here are some ‘strange’ facts you didn’t know.

1. Eleven Is Modeled After E.T.

The Duffer Brothers, the writers of the show, wanted Millie Brown to resemble E.T. They wanted her to enact the same kind of relationship between her and the others. This also explains Eleven’s focus on more body language than dialogue.

2. The Show Was Almost An Anthology Series 

Being an anthology series means a new story in every season with different characters. So basically, the show would have said goodbye to our favourite cast after the first season. Who’s glad they didn’t?

3. Stephen King Had A Hand In Casting Millie Bobby Brown

The master of horror’s say has a lot of value. When he saw Brown in the BBC show Intruders and publicly praised her, it gave her a leg up! 

4. The Show Is Based On A Real-Time Travel Project

Stranger Things is based on the conspiracy theory about the United States government conducting reality-bending experiments on children. The theory is based on ‘Montauk Events’ much of which the show replicates.

5. Before Netflix, The Idea Was Rejected Multiple Times

The Duffer Brothers estimate their show was rejected 15-20 times.

6. They Auditioned 906 Boys And 307 Girls For The Main Roles.

This show was brought to you after undertaking the gargantuan task of hearing from 1213 child actors. At least it was worth it right?

7. Dacre Montgomery Had An Unusually Shirtless Audition Tape.

Billy has the most “bonkers” characters and his audition was in tandem with that. The Duffer Brothers said, “I’ve watched thousands of auditions now, and it’s by far the most bonkers that I’ve witnessed”.

8. The Gang Went Trick-or-treating Together.

You wouldn’t believe but the gang is actually friends in real life now. They all also go trick or treating together for Halloween! 

9. Approximately 150 Wigs Were Used 

Will Byers’s classic ‘pyala cut’ look is achieved through a wig. Jim Hopper also has a wig now. Plus, a lot of wigs were used for the Halloween scene. 

10. The Boys Needed To Be Told To Stop Farting On Set

As gross as this may be, it is also hilarious. In the abandoned bus scene, apparently, they farted so much that it got “toxic”. They have to temporarily evacuate the bus for this reason. Now, this is truly a strange thing.

Did This Pakistani Drama Predict Bill Gates Divorce?

Bill Gates divorce
Image Source: YouTube

Aside from the infamous Mere Paas Tum Ho, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar has to his crown the badge of yet another very successful drama, Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua. This too starred Ayeza Khan who played a character of a woman who had cheated on and left her husband. Sound very much like MPTH but then again; same writer so that’s expected. Anyway, looking at the drama again, it seems that it predicted the divorce of Bill Gates.

Interesting, right?

Bill Gates Divorce and Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua

At the beginning of this week, we got to know that the billionaire couple who is known to be involved in lots of donations for good causes had parted ways after 27 years of marriage. People weren’t expecting such news and while some were sad, many others were out there making memes on this life event of Bill Gates. While looking up past references for the famous, now separated, couple, Pakistanis stumbled across a clip from the drama Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, and they just couldn’t believe it. It was a dialogue by a character reprimanding Ayeza Khan’s character on her infidelity.

Image Source: Youtube

The Viral Clip

She said that even a poor man feels like the richest man if his wife is loyal to him. To compare her statement by talking about an extremely rich man, she referred to Bill Gates. She said that if even if a billionaire like him finds out that his wife ran away, he’d feel he’s the poorest man.

The way she says it is love though, even if the statement is hugely problematic.

Now, people are creating parallels to the statement but shouldn’t we be a little careful at what we say. By saying that the drama predicted Bill Gates’s divorce we are essentially saying, Melinda Gates had an extramarital affair. This is a HUGE allegation that wouldn’t really matter to the Gates but it will affect us; What we say affects our personality, make us more insensitive. Not to mention, divorce is something very personal, and a hard decision that a couple arrives at after much thought process, shouldn’t we not make fun of that?

Pakistanis Can’t Stop Trolling This Brand For Their Hilarious Graphics

Graphic designing is used to convey the brand strategy or its message to the clients. The essential purpose of graphic design is to lay a strong foundation for brand strategy. However, the main focus is to create logos and adds which the target audience can associate with the brand’s name.

Sapphire’s Latest Campaign

The beauty of graphics lies in the amount of time you have spent to micro monitor a task. If not done correctly, results can range from something between absurd to outright hilarious. The same situation happened with one of Pakistan’s famous brands recently. Sapphire creates a wide range of apparel for women, men, and children. The latest campaign of sapphire is getting trolled for the graphics on the latest shoot of the men’s collections.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Sapphire (@sapphirepakistan)

The picture shows a person standing on the rocks and a blue sky in the background. However, rather than standing, it seems like he is floating in the air, which looks hilarious.

The Trolls 

Internet is having a field day after looking at these pictures from sapphire’s latest campaign. People commented how sapphire is paying the designer just $5 by the looks of the work.

However, some mentioned that this looks like a marketing strategy to get some attention from the viewers.

Whether it is a marketing strategy or just a lack of effort in finding the right person for the job, this seems like a first for any brand that is home to the most sought-after clientele in Pakistan. From the eyes of a layman person, this can be something that is not noticeable, but from the eyes of a professional, it looks like a work of art of some newbie. Whatever the situation now, sapphire has got some eyes and more buyers for their latest men’s collection.

CSS (Central Superior Services) is regarded as one of the most difficult exams in Pakistan. Many try their luck to join the bureaucracy circle through this avenue. But out of thousands, only a handful make it past even the first round. CSS 2020 was no different. A Pakistani girl made us all proud by securing the top position.

For CSS 2020, eighteen thousand five hundred and fifty-three (18,553) candidates appeared. When the results were results announced by FPSC (Federal Public Service Commission) on Thursday, it was for the written exam. After the results were posted, 376 candidates cleared. The next step is the viva after which 364 candidates were finalized. Maheen Hassan was the top amongst all 18,553. 226 were male and 138 were female. It is interesting to see the gap between genders bridging.

But it also means that only 1.9% out of all those who appeared made it. The percentage makes it more evident, how tough these exams really are. And yet, Maheen proved she was worth it.

Where we heard about automotive brands coming to Pakistan, we also heard about Volkswagen. Now, this is a brand that has been in operation for quite a long time. They have been known to manufacture extraordinary vehicles. The concept of a Beatle vehicle came from this brand. Today, they can be considered as the Disney of the automotive industry. Many huge brands are owned by them.

Volkswagen is also a brand that takes the form of a classic era. The cars themselves give off a premium vibe. Despite there being so much competition, it still hasn’t slowed this company down. The company is making a mark and rising fast. In recent news, it seems that a Volkswagen plant is soon coming to Pakistan.

The Volkswagen Plant

Apparently, there has been news where the construction of such a plant is being discussed. It opens up a lot of prospects and opportunities for Pakistan. Under an agreement from 2018, the company will set up shop here and manufacture vehicles too! Do you understand what this means? More vehicle production in Pakistan means more revenue generation. Our value in the global market could rise substantially because of this.

This plant will have the capacity to produce about 28,000 vehicles every year. While the number may not sync up with the population, it is definitely a good start. Due to the pandemic occurring, the production and construction of this plant were halted. However, 2021 is bringing about a lot of good news for everyone. It is time for us to step into the 21st century, in regards to cars.

Volkswagen Is Impressive

Not only has the company managed to produce cars, but they have also extended their domain. While they did start with combustion engine vehicles, now they are moving towards electric too. The ID series is one that we know of and it is Volkswagen’s electric division. For now, we aren’t sure which models will go into production but we can hope that they will be different ones. Diversity in this era is an important thing and everyone will benefit from it.

Additionally, maybe the construction of this plant can urge other brands to enter Pakistan too. We know that KIA is currently operational in Pakistan and MG has gotten the greenfield status. Pretty soon, we may begin to see another brand of vehicle in the country.

Sony To Redesign PS5 & Set To Start Production In 2022

The world is moving at a brisk pace and everyone wants to catch up. They want to be there when the next tech bubble pops. However, there may be some hindrances to the goal that people may have. The pandemic is a prime example of such a hindrance. Now it seems that Sony might have to re-design the PS5.

If you keep up with tech news, you may have heard of the recent silicon shortage. There is a lacking of semiconductor chips. These are widely used in smartphones, consoles, and many other devices. They are a core element to how these tech devices function. However, the chip shortage has brought a lot of production to a slower pace.

Sony Decision

While the PS5 has been one of the most popular consoles of the decade, it is still running short. Sony seems to be struggling to keep up with demand due to the shortage. When asked, the company responded by giving two alternatives. Either they will think of some way to get an alternate resource or they will re-design the console. The second one seems to be quite probable right now.

When we talk about design here, we are assuming that a lot of the changes will be internal. They intend to alter the architecture in such a way as to reduce silicon usage. This way they can produce more consoles in bulk and keep up with demand. Sony can use this strategic move to bring better results to the company itself. People want to buy the PS5 but many are unable to.

A New Design

We are not aware of how the design will be altered, but we know that it is a good possibility this will happen. We hope that Sony is able to keep up with changing times because the shortage is everywhere. Just recently, Apple had to stop a smartphone shipment because the chips were short on the market.

The world of gaming is taking a turn for the better and there is a lot on the way. From virtual reality to immersive gaming, each sector is moving forward on its own. If there is one thing that has been boosted in the days of 2020, it is online gaming. Not only have player charts increased, but they have also helped companies generate a lot of revenue.

Entering Production

According to another report, it is said that Sony will work on the re-design in 2022. This means that you still have half a year to decide. Decide what, exactly? Decide whether you wish to hunt for a PS5 now or wait for and buy the re-designed one.

Nevertheless, we hope you succeed in your venture and are able to experience the full length of gaming.

This French Campaign Highlights A Taboo In The Most Impactful Way

By

Talking about taboo is important because taboo essentially is something that is prohibited, and you ensure it by not even talking about it. So when you start talking about it, you have defeated it for the most part. This french campaign does just that with an issue that is considered taboo, not for one or two countries but most of the world.

Periods and women

The topic in question is none other than periods. Most women have to endure periods, but sanitary pads, tampons, and menstrual cups get weirdly categorized as a luxury. This is why these products are not accessible to everyone. Some women even have to use cloth which is highly unhygienic. But since it is taboo, people don’t talk about it, and awareness doesn’t spread. As a result, women stay quiet about it and have to compromise on school and work during the periods days.

France decided to bring it up in conversation to do something positive for their 1.7 million women who do not have the financial means to spend on this necessity. House of Communication France and Règles Élémentaires teamed up for the task.

French campaign on the taboo

Calling the women who have to disappear during periods invisible women, they decided to highlight the issue through the most visible women. Now, who is the most visible for someone? Weather people! Of course, not in Pakistan; here, we do not even believe the weather forecast. But in countries such as France, residents need to be up-to-date about the day-to-day weather, which is why everyone watches at least the weather bit in the entire news program.

So, for the purpose of this campaign, weather presenters were asked not to go on air and 9 TV channels which included three national tv channels, did just that. And the text was put up that said that the women are not available because they were on their periods.

At the end of the news program, the channels revealed their plan. It sparked a fiery conversation on social media.

This campaign started in February, and within a few months, there is already a positive effect on policies.

Have a look:

More countries should pay heed to this because it’s time everyone realized the sanitary pads are not a luxury; they are a necessity.

Suzuki to Invest $460Mn in Pakistan if New Auto Policy Revised

Suzuki

Suzuki has plan of investing $460 million into Pakistan if the government revises recently announced new auto policy and offers some incentives.

Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company that assembles Suzuki cars for the local market, showed concerns over the new auto policy in a statement it emailed to an international news agency.

Karachi based Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company said that the new auto policy has damaged the investment potential in country’s automobile industry by existing players like Pak Suzuki Motor Co., which is ready to invest  $460 million in Pakistan if incentives and benefits are provided.

Pakistan Suzuki Motor Co. further disclosed that by $460 million investment, a new state of the art plant of Suzuki would be built on urgent basis and the company will also launch 4 new models within next five years – two out of these four would be available in the market by 2018.
5 Most Fuel Efficient Cars In Pakistan

The new auto policy announced by government of Pakistan favors the new foreign automobile manufacturers which have been offered lower duties for bringing them into the business.

Government also wanted to break the existing players’ monopoly like Suzuki, Toyota and Honda that have dominated the Pakistani market for years.

The reason behind giving favors to new entrants is to give a choice to Pakistani car users who are forced to purchase locally assembled cars on relatively higher price; these vehicles are far behind imported cars in terms of quality and features.

To honour the selfless efforts and sacrifices made by doctors, nurses, paramedics and frontline health workers during the ongoing pandemic, Ferozsons Laboratories Limited, a leading pharmaceutical company, launched a nation-wide initiative to turn three iconic monuments – Faisal Mosque, the Lahore Fort, and Frere Hall –  into beacons of blue light on 4th and 5th May. The activity took place with the collaboration and generous support of the Capital Development Authority (CDA), the Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA), Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), as well as the Ministry of Interior. The initiative aimed to pay tribute to the healthcare community, the unsung heroes of the pandemic.

Representing all those who bravely battled the pandemic and lost their lives in service of their patients, Management of Ferozsons Laboratories, Government Officials and Family Members of Doctors initiated the illumination of the monuments by lighting candles in memory of their loved ones.

Speaking on the occasion, CEO of Ferozsons Laboratories Limited, Mr. Osman Khalid Waheed, said “We are all indebted to doctors and frontline health workers everywhere, who risk their own lives every day to put patients first. This initiative aims to show these true heroes the nation’s gratitude and support.”

Mr. Kamran Lashari, the Director General of the Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA), paid tribute to the medical community and commented, “The healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly against COVID-19 are the real heroes. I am extremely glad to see the efforts of Ferozsons to commemorate the efforts of these frontline workers. I’m very happy that my department, walled city and metropolitan were a part of this initiative. Health workers, we salute you.”

In Karachi, Mr. Laeeq Ahmad, Administrator of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), on the lighting of Frere Hall, said “We must never forget the workers at the frontline. Every day is a struggle for them and by lighting up Frere Hall, we want to tell them that we see them, and we stand with them.”

Mr. Amer Ali Ahmed, Chairman CDA, with whose generous support the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad was illuminated blue, commented, “These unsung heroes deserve our highest appreciation and support. In the Holy Month of Ramazan, we remember their sacrifices and stand by them, just like they have stood by us.”

This event was a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifices made by doctors and healthcare workers across the country. Their daily acts of heroism, which often go unnoticed, deserve our highest gratitude, encouragement and support.

From Aalim Online To Jeeeway Pakistan – What Went Wrong?

By

aalim online

Aamir Liaquat is a personality that got introduced to the general public from Aalim Online, a show that featured various religious scholars. It was there that we saw Doctor Aamir Liaquat Hussain. And now, in 2021, we see Aamir Liaquat doing Naagin Dance on the set of Jeeeway Pakistan. The audience finds it hard to digest. Why? Because our first interaction has established him as a religious scholar.

Jeeeway Pakistan 2.0

In almost every episode of Jeeeway Pakistan 2.0, we get to see Aamir Liaquat doing something that doesn’t sit well with us. First, it was the Naagin dance where he started moving as a Naadin would and then started rolling all around the floor.

Another instant was when Saboor Aly was invited to his show and she felt so uncomfortable that she had to call him out on live television requesting him to keep his eyes away from her. Moreover, he insulted Fahad Mustafa by saying he is not worthy of being a host. The reason he gave was that Fahad insults his guests. He further goes on to doing self-praise saying he would never insult his guests. But in every episode, we have seen him insult his guests’ general knowledge (Zarnish Khan), their knowledge of Urdu (Ali Ansari), their personal life (Sanam Jung).

Not to mention how in the most recent episode, Aamir Liaquat kept pestering Ayesha Omar and Nabeel to get him a role at BulBulay.

Of course, people do say that it is all scripted. But just because it is scripted, does it justify what an influencer displays to the masses?

Aamir Liaquat and his performances

All that aside, these days when you watch the second season of Jeeeway Pakistan, it seems like Aamir sahab conducts the show as his own 1 hour 15 minutes long audition where he starts off by singing. He then moves on to displaying and proving himself right in every discipline. As the show segments change, he also delves into dancing and acting. And he does all that by ensuring that the guests say the least possible words.

So what happened here?

From what we can see, it seems that Aamir Liaquat wants to be known as an entertainer. An entertainer who can sing, dance, get casted in dramas, films, and also make intimate jokes with female guests. While all that, he also wants to be the highlight in general knowledge because he is a scholar. Now, here is the thing. When you delve into education to the deep end, your personality develops and you grow. You become a better version of yourself. But with Dr Aamir Liaquat, it did not happen. He claims to be a doctor and he continues with his behaviour that does not align with his education level. And this disjuncture is what people are finding hard to consume. Especially since the person we see in Jeeway Pakistan seems a step down from who we used to see in Aalim Online.
