Atif Aslam Spotted with Bollywood Celebrities in Thailand

atif aslam

It seems India and Pakistan will forever have cross-border tensions. Bollywood will remain firm on its stance of ‘No Pakistani Stars’ in their movies. But one thing they just cannot compromise on is our singing sensation, Atif Aslam.

The crooner remains the most wanted singer across the border. This year alone, Atif has devoted his voice to as many as six tracks in Indian movies. And we bet the list will continue to increase for 2018.

Tere Liye: Atif Aslam’s Latest Song in Namaste England

Just recently, the singer was invited to perform live in a star-studded show in Thailand,  that included various starlets from Tinseltown as well.

Spotted on the occasion was the Dilbar girl, Nora Fatehi!

And the Desi Boys Diva, Chitrangda Singh!

The Baby Doll singer, Kanika Kapoor cast a spell on the crowd with her magical voice.

But amidst all the Bollywood glamor at the gala, it was Atif Aslam who set the stage on fire!

The audience went crazy when he crooned the soulful Tajdar-e-Haram.

And he raised the bar even further with his rendition of Kun Faya Kun.

The Bollywood beauties were smitten by him and the Sanam Re starlet, Urvashi Rautela was spotted fangirling over our powerhouse.

Grand Masti girl Kainat Arora also shared a moment with the singer!

We can’t help being proud of Atif. He appears to be the only Pakistani talent amongst all the B-town artists and was clearly the highlight of the show.

The vocalist is all set to take over Australia with his back-to-back shows in the continent. Pakistani residing there better not miss the chance of hearing him live!

Huawei Trolls Apple by Giving Out Free Power Banks To iPhone Fans!

huawei

Apple enjoys the privilege of having the most loyal customers and every time they launch a new product, the hype they create has no match!

The latest one being Apple’s iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, made thousands to wait in queue before their launch.

Little did they know their major rival Huawei will play a super cool marketing trick on them!

Outside Singapore’s store, the Chinese brand raised the bar by being creative yet extra caring at the same time!

Huawei took advantage of the situation and distributed free power banks and juices among the people who were waiting to get their hands on the latest iPhone as soon as it gets out.

The iPhone XS features a smaller battery than iPhone X and Huawei pointed it out by giving the iPhone users free power banks. And as it reads:

‘Here’s a power bank. You’ll need it’.

As creative as it sounds, the marketing stunt worked. In no time, people were running after Huawei distributors to get a free power bank and juice, because you got to stay energetic in such situations.

The Huawei vans carrying the fruit juices even stated “no traces of apple” written over them.

Successfully, Huawei managed to scatter the diehard Apple fandom who wouldn’t have moved from their places otherwise and that’s quite an accomplishment.

According to reports, as many as 200 power banks were handed out to iPhone fans.

The CEO revealed that there is severe lack of professionalism and transparency in the league that is leading to ‘Pakistani players being misused by foreign individuals’.

Meesha Shafi’s Savage Reply To Sadaf Kanwal’s Statements About #MeToo

sadaf kanwal

The gorgeous Pakistani model and actress, Sadaf Kanwal is recently catching some heat after making pretty bold comments about Mahira Khan and #MeToo movement on a talk show.

During an interview with a renowned designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin on “Tonite with HSY”, the 25-year-old star did not shy away from making extremely controversial statements that have left her fans in utter shock.

Ayeza Khan Trolls Haters Over Plastic Surgery Rumors

Taking a dig at Mahira Khan, the supermodel lashed out at the Humsafar haseena that it’s her fair-skin that makes her so successful in the industry.

What do you think about why people like Mahira Khan, it’s because of her skin color. She doesn’t have any unique thing in her.

She added that anyone can be Mahira and her looks are all that make her desirable.

Her face just isn’t specific.

In yet another daring opinion, the Balu Mahi starlet stated that women should come forward as soon as they are harassed and there is no point in raising the issue after a while.

She said:

I don’t understand this #MeToo trend. I don’t know what to say about it. I mean If I was the victim of harassment under #MeToo then I will raise my voice immediately. I’ll never post about it on social media and make a big deal.

Surprisingly, her co-guest on the show, Amna Ilyas immediately disagreed with Sadaf and said that when someone is harassed, it takes courage to speak up.

She said:

Some people don’t have the courage to speak up so they raise their voices a while later and everyone should talk about it whenever they are ready.

Pakistani Celebrities React to Sadaf’s Take on #Metoo

Of course, Meesha Shafi who has been an active part of the #Metoo movement took a subtle dig at Sadaf for mocking the campaign.

Mentioning the model’s bushy eyebrows, she slammed Sadaf for her views.

Did you notice how Shafi wrote the incorrect grammar in her tweet? It was yet again a savage dig at the supermodel and her bad grammar.

Following the controversy, Sanam Saeed also posted an empowering message on her Instagram for all to learn.

 

Needless to say, fans are not happy with Sadaf for talking about the sensitive issue so lightly.

Fans of Mahira Khan were also quick to bash the model on her contentious words.

RIO’s New TVC Compels You to Have RIO Right Away & Connects Audience to the Brand Emotionally!

Peek Freans RIO

In the world of media and advertising, one of the hardest tasks is to create content for children! They need to be hooked on to engaging content or they lose interest immediately. They are also brutally honest when it comes to their likes and dislikes.

When it comes to ads, a child will switch the channel or be least interested if the advert does not have all the elements needed to create an engaging commercial. Music, vibrant colours, artistic designs and cartoons, is what captivates and engages them on-screen.

One brand that has successfully broken the barrier between themselves and their target audience is Peek Freans RIO. The cream-filled biscuit sandwich is the most popular biscuit across Pakistan.

Munching on a New Concept 

By consecutively producing successful campaigns and connecting to their mass audience, there was still a missing piece of the puzzle. To fill in the gap, the brand rolled out an out-of-the-box campaign with the introduction of the “Obos“.

Obos are fictional characters created by the brand team to relate to children and provide the emotional bonding with the product. Keeping the characteristics of their audience in mind, each Obo was given a unique personality.

Obos are very playful, full of mischief, creative, enjoy pulling pranks, and most of all, will do anything for their favourite snack, Peek Freans RIO! Whether it be climbing up the mountain or going on a safari hunt in the tropical forest, even the desert cannot stop them from getting their hands on the yummy biscuits.

Painting Social Media Blue

In order to create pre-hype on social media for their latest work, the brand rolled out a small clip titled, ‘The Curious Case of the Missing RIOs’.

The brand creatively used many different components to intrigue their audience. From creating massive hype on social media by the inclusion creativity and of course, the element of mystery and surprise.

To build more hype and create even more curiosity amongst the audience, the brand gave a sneak peek of what is in store for them!

Voila! The Obos were then introduced to the world. Soon, Peek Freans RIO rolled out their first commercial with these little creatures and a magical world of creativity and imagination where the Obos can do anything for the snack.

Brand’s Creativity + Children’s Curiosity = Formula for Success!

RIO-Obos

Not only did EBM stir away from the cliched campaign ideas, they created a new platform and a new world of fun. Keeping the same objective, yet narrating it through various stories, that RIO is irresistible to young and adult alike!

The campaign reflects all the elements the brand stands for, fun, the perfect snack, enjoyable, shareable, and more. Time and time again the brand has proved to be indeed children’s favourite be it their product or ads.

How to Stay Trendy This Fall with the OPPO F9

Oppo F9 Launch

The style statement of a person is what makes him or her signature. Whether it be the latest trends in the modernized fashion world or your own swivel on an old trend, style matters!

A good majority of us look up to contemporary fashion gurus to help us get a more chic vibe, yet we stumble over the basics of the world of bravura. Being a true fashionista means that you know what the basics of design are each season. Let’s take you on a journey of trends this season.

Colour Palette Matters

Oppo F9

If you think colours are yet ‘another’ aspect of chic clothing, you immediately need to begin rethinking fashion. Aesthetics are the epitome of fashion. If you look at the gradient design and striking Sunrise Red and Twilight Blue colours of OPPO F9, you get a grasp of the right colour combos. The gradients on the F9 are gracefully developed and are exactly what designers are looking at these days.

Take this fashion sense to the world of style icons now. Ali Xeeshan—a famous designer—recently released his OPPOF9-inspired collection that blends black, red and blue with the already appealing floral patterns to offer you a dress that has the ‘wow’ factor engraved in it. The point is, don’t just pick a colour, put thought into what part of the palette complements your style statement the best.

Structured Silhouettes

Accessorize and Capture

Oppo F9

A chic attire is not enough to make you a true fashionista! You need to accessorize yourself with elements that compliment your overall look. If you’re rooting for a fancy-wear, carry a clutch, not a bag, and wear heels, not flats. Goggles will further let you speak fashion with authority.

Now, you’re ready to make your mark in the world of fashion, when you’re ready to take over that event when you’re ready to steal the show. But if all of it isn’t posted online, did it even happen?

We say no.

You don’t just dress-up and speak fashion to go to an event and come back with words of praise. You do it so you can cherish your style statement and be an inspiration for those around you! That’s why you need to capture it with a camera that does justice to your appearance.

That’s where the new OPPO F9 comes into play. Its 16MP + 2MP Dual Rear Camera, and the staggering 25MP (with AI tech) front camera is designed precisely to do justice with the best moments of your life! It never dies on you with the VOOC Flash Charge, you can capture every moment!

So capture your modish look, upload it, and let the world know that you’re the fashionista they need to follow this fall season!
