For many Pakistanis, Zahid Ahmed embodies the ultimate chocolate boy. He is utterly charming, has a heart-stopping smile and his acting trysts have proved himself to be the quintessential superstar of romance.

From his portrayal of Muhammad Ali Jinnah in Pawnay Chauda August to the resilient Haider in Besharam, the arrogant hero in Gustakh Ishq to the ambitious Shuja in Daldal, Ahmed has successfully become the absolute crush fodder for ladies of the nation.

Netflix Dreams

Now as he jettisons to Netflix, his die-heart devotees are rooting for him as he becomes the first ever Pakistani to star in a Netflix original. Without a doubt, we can say that he is all set to conquer the realms of global entertainment with his latest endeavor.

Plates and glasses. #zahidahmed

A post shared by Zahid Ahmed (@zahid.ahmed.official) on Nov 15, 2017 at 7:25am PST

Zahid spilled the beans regarding his massive achievement as he sat down for an exclusive one-on-one with Brandsynario.

‘It is an epic romance action saga and its casting is not limited to Pakistan. It has an international cast and I am playing the lead most definitely. Shooting starts in February or March next year. Shooting is in several countries’

While Zahid appeared pretty tight-lipped about his Netflix original, he gave away a few details about the story that now has us all excited about its release.

‘The story is based on an existing international, award-winning novel and it has also won the Pulitzer prize award.

It is a factual story and not fictional. The characters are somewhat fictional and have been created to adjust to the story but it will engulf geo-political landscapes around this area as we are adapting it for Pakistan’

The project and its tale has written megahit all over it!

‘it will include a little bit of history, but will be set around modern times. It revolves around how certain groups came to power here and will talk about external intervention of certain powers as well’

Making it to the silver screen!

Many might not be aware but Zahid has signed his first ever Pakistani movie and will be seen in Jhol across Ali Azmat.

In case your butcher didn't show up. #zahidahmed #dressfor3rdayOfEid

Its release has been stalled for quite some time and the flick’s story is now being revamped as Urwa and Bilal Ashraf are apparently out of the cast

It is such a fun film and it depicts a story of one day with four characters that are totally crazy and werid. It is a plot driven film and does not focus on any character.

The inspiration behind Zahid’s character is pretty interesting as well.

It is a fun-Filled comedy & My character is inspired by JOHNNY DEPP’s EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

Our fingers are crossed for all for it — and whatever comes next. Zahid Ahmed deserves it!

The star is not only famous for his superb acting skills but it is his dressing style that attracts a lot of attention from fans and followers.

Feroze Khan Dressed to Impress!

He recently won the Most Stylish Actor Television at the Q Mobile Hum Style Awards.

Khan is now seen promoting his new drama, Khaani across the country and has attended various morning shows together with co-star Sana Javed and the rest of the team. The Khaani lead actor is known to set style trends but just yesterday fans bashed him for what he wore to one of the promotional events he attended.

Can you guess what the actor is wearing? No, it is not a Pyjama suit!

Designed by Jazib Qamar, Khan was wearing a Safari Suit that people mistook to be a night suit and made fun of the actor on social media.

While some said he’d just rolled out of bed, others asked him why he’d chosen to dress so inappropriately for the Shaista Lodhi morning show.

Majority of his followers thought he was in a nightsuit!

After receiving immense criticism, Feroze did not stay quiet and replied back to the haters!

We do believe, he could have chosen a better outfit but if he can rock it then why not? Kudos to the heartthrob for standing up for what he believes in, he has promised to wear it again and again. Looks like we’ll be seeing the star in a lot more safari suits now!

What did you think of this new trend that Khan has set on Safari Suits? Let us know in the comments below.

Once again Bitcoin has managed to make it into the headlines! This time, the cryptocurrency has surpassed the $10,000 milestone for the very first time.

At this point in time, 1 Bitcoin is equivalent to 10,43,706.97 Pakistani Rupees. On the other hand, hedge fund legend Michael Novogratz it can surpass the $40,000 milestone by the end of 2018.

“Bitcoin could be at $40,000 at the end of 2018. It easily could,” Michael Novogratz said Monday on CNBC’s ‘Fast Money.’ “Ethereum, which I think just touched $500 or is getting close, could be triple where it is as well.”

“There’s a big wave of money coming, not just here but all around the world,” said Novogratz

The digital currency is still unrecognized or regarded as an asset by most central banks. It started the year at below $1,000. It is not recognized in Pakistan either and is labeled as illegal by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Gone are the days when we had to fill out forms and apply for visas in order to travel to countries that have been on your bucket list since ages. With the ease of e-visas, the entire process for traveling abroad has become a lot simpler than before.

However, the UAE Capital has announced an even faster way to obtain a visa over the counter in just 30 mins for all Nationalities including Pakistan!

A new visa counter at the Abu Dhabi International Airport to facilitate the visa application process has been launched, the new service will be available to both transit and arriving passengers to the UAE capital.

Located at Terminal 3 transit area at the Abu Dhabi International Airport, the new counter will activate the new four-day or 96 hours, transit visa for all nationalities traveling through Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The new counter will issue various types of work and tourist visas available to travelers who did not currently fall under the present ‘Visa Upon Arrival’ scheme. Pakistanis can now approach the visa counter in Terminal 3 to obtain the visa within 15 to 30 minutes.

The easier visa process is a key part of Abu Dhabi’s ongoing efforts to increase tourism to the capital. People having connecting flights can now choose to obtain the visa and visit the city.

The visa is priced at Dh300 and can be used by passengers having planned trips from Abu Dhabi or intermediate flights through their destination. However, travelers will only be applicable for the speedy visa if their layover exceeds four hours.

Toyota Pakistan is ready to change its game! The company is making its name, at first by stopping the booking of its 1300cc cars and being applauded for it and now it is reportedly about to invest a whopping amount of $40mn in the auto sector.

According to the report, Toyota Pakistan wants to increase its production output, of the main reasons for the cancellation of the bookings. The company is looking forward to expanding its vehicle production by 10,000 vehicles.

Currently, Toyota Pakistan produces a total unit of 54,800 cars however it has become a bit difficult for the manufacturer to keep up with the demands especially for their popular variants of the Corolla, including the GLi and XLi.

There has also been an increase in the demands for their Fortuner as well. However, it is currently being predicted that Toyota is planning to bring an end to either XLi or GLi to introduce a new 1300cc car. Either the Toyota Vios or a new variant of Yaris (Vitz) can be seen on the roads soon.

Toyota is also gearing up to launch the new Toyota Camry hybrid for Pakistan’s auto sector. The company has worked on expanding while making the most of the potential in the auto sector.

We wish Toyota Pakistan all the best for their future vendors. Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more news and updates.

While protests are to be carried out to convey a message and to highlight the problems in society, the concept, and definition is altered in Pakistan, it means to close down businesses, burn cars, hurt our own people, and ensure everything possible can be done to raise hell.

World Happiness Report 2017: Pakistan’s Rank Will Surprise You!

Nov 27, 2017

Happiness is a state of mind with deep satisfaction and contentment. It is rightly said,

“we all are in a pursuit of happiness”

Recently, The World Happiness Report 2017 has been released by the United Nations that identified which pocket of the world is the happiest. Once again, Nordic and Western European countries rule the roost.

The Graph Shows the 20 Happiest Countries in the World

New World Happiness Report out today. Top 5: Norway Denmark Iceland Switzerland Finland https://t.co/YEk7viK9ZF #InternationalDayOfHappiness pic.twitter.com/YT32Me7Brh

— Action for Happiness (@actionhappiness) March 20, 2017

The Top 10 Countries in the Happiness Report are:

Norway
Denmark
Iceland
Switzerland
Finland
Netherlands
Canada
New Zealand
Australia
Sweden

The war-struck and economically challenged nations of the Sub-Saharan African Regions scored lowest, with the bottom scoring countries being the Central African Republic, Burundi, Tanzania, Syria, Rwanda, Togo, Guinea, Liberia, South Sudan, and Yemen.

Can you guess where Pakistan stands on this list? It is on number 80.

Surprisingly, Pakistan has been listed as number 80 out of 155 on the list of the happiest countries in the world. Looks like our ‘Choti Choti Khushyan’ enabled us as a nation to be included in the list.

Pakistan has ranked well ahead of the other South Asian countries including India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The report also delves into different case-studies, including why Africa remains terminally unhappy, why China’s smiles are on the rise, and why America, despite its economic stability, is not among one of the top happy nations.

The happiness report suggests Nicaragua, Latvia, Sierra Leone, Ecuador, Moldova, Bulgaria, Russia, Slovakia, Chile, and Uzbekistan’s levels have improved greatly.

The report took into consideration the basic factors for happiness such as:

GDP per capita
Healthy life expectancy
Social support
Freedom
Generosity
Absence/Perception of corruption

The study also talks about America and the crisis it faces,

“America’s crisis is, in short, a social crisis, not an economic crisis.”

LU Nan Khatai’s Latest TVC ft Irrfan Khan is Going Viral

By

Nov 27, 2017

With every passing day, advertisements in Pakistan seem to be improving for the better. The recent campaign rolled out by confectioners, LU Bakeri for their brand ‘Nan Khatai’ has taken the internet by storm. Featuring renown Bollywood actor, Irrfan Khan, the commercial is a definite treat for the sore eyes.

The stunning advertisement follows Irrfan Khan’s journey from India to Pakistan in search of the purest form of Nan Khatai that is only available with Bakeri’s Nan Khatai. Irrfan has his own style which brings the authenticity the ad needs due to the traditional feel it brings.

Kudos to the creative team, from the background score to the powerful dialogues everything is spot on. Set in Lahore the commercial brings the actor to Pakistan all the way from India, in order to find out the secret behind the authentic taste of his favorite biscuit.

The agency behind the ad is, Spectrum Y&R and has been produced under the banner of SeeMe Productions.

Irrfan Khan asks the question that embodies the true value that the biscuit holds for him and the reason he’s traveled miles away,

“Riwayat se jura khasta maza sirf Lu ki Bakeri, NanKhatai mai hi kyu milta hai?”

The ad received praise from Pakistanis who loved the entire concept the ad portrays

However, not everyone was happy about the casting of a Bollywood actor in the ad.

A question that’s on a lot of minds.

The other confusion that seems to be troubling the Pakistani audience is whether Irrfan visited Lahore for the shoot. People are also wondering the reason behind casting a Bollywood star in a biscuit commercial. However, we do believe the message the brand is trying to put across fits the actor well.

Watch LU Bakeri Nan Khatai’s latest TVC ft. Irrfan Khan!

Apart From Aamir Liaquat, Another Pakistani Celebrity Exposed BOL!

By

Nov 27, 2017

We all remember the time BOl TV created an uproar in the entertainment circuit of Pakistan with its launch. The network entered the race to leave the rest behind with its power-packed talk shows, popular media moguls, and state-of-the-art infrastructure.

But seems like its dream of creating a vast media empire seems to be crashing now that its members are gradually resigning and are exposing the media house like nobody’s business.

It all started when Aamir Liaquat dropped a bomb on all of us by declaring his divorce from BOL Network & ended his year-long relationship with his ex.

Apparently, his dues were not cleared by BOL and now Aamir is demanding to be paid for his services.

The journey has come to an end & not a friendly end. Now I am not part of #BOL. They owe me my dues. #KhudaHafizBOL

— Aamir Liaquat Husain (@AamirLiaquat) November 18, 2017

He defamed the network’s name, claiming that he was paid to slander various personalities by the channel.

So more drama unfolded as BOL Hit back at Liaquat and claimed all his allegations as false.

Jumping on to this hullabaloo was Hamza Ali Abbasi and of course, he sided with BOL in this discussion.

By Allah in whose hands my life, izzat & rizq is, every word i speak on BOL is my own, i believe in every opinion i express with all my heart & soul, the channel has never given me any dictation. I would never deceive ppl by saying anything i dont believe in just for some money.

— Hamza Ali Abbasi (@iamhamzaabbasi) November 19, 2017

Dont want to be a part of the whole Amir Liaquat controversy but had to clarify this. https://t.co/n0a73w6ROv

— Hamza Ali Abbasi (@iamhamzaabbasi) November 19, 2017

What people did not know was that back in August, veteran actor & comedian Sajid Hasan exposed BOL with allegations similar to that of Liaquat.

Apparently, he too was a victim of no rewards and complained about dirty politics in the network.

While the screenshot is 4 months old, it has now resurfaced and is going viral on social media.

These charges by BOL’s biggest former icons are a big question mark on channel’s reputation and standing.

How will BOL channel fight all the claims and respond to negative publicity, let’s wait and watch!

The Mayor of Karachi, Wasim Akhtar, has also expressed concern over the negligence of the concerned authorities in-charge. The alternative accommodation for the residents staying in the old buildings that have been deemed unsafe has not yet been sorted out by the government.

In a previous report by the SBCA, some of the buildings on the list are from the following areas:

Saddar Town – 15 buildings
Lyari – 20 buildings
Liaquatabad – 18 buildings
Ranchore Line Quarters – 28 buildings

She has been granted this status for her ‘outstanding contribution’ to the fight against hate crime and criminal gangs.

Shabnam has always been passionate about her professional and once reported that she had joined police in 1989 in London against the wishes of her parents who wanted her to get married and have children.

“My parents wanted me to get married early and settle down. I opposed and joined the police to make a difference. When my parents saw that I was fighting crimes and helping people in need, they became happy and proud of me.

She further talks about her journey,

Those were times when there were not many Asian and Muslim women in the police. Women from our background are still reluctant to come to the police but I think they should apply for the police jobs.”

As cited on UK Metropolitan website,

“Shabnam is seen as a role model, both internally and externally within communities across London. She is committed to engaging with diverse communities and has delivered a number of events across London on hate crime, domestic abuse, and delivers empowerment presentations to women from the hard to reach groups.”

In November 2016, she led the Girls Allowed event for over 400 young girls between the ages of 14 – 25, attended by the Deputy Mayor of Policing and Crime, Sophie Linden.

Shabnam works against hate crimes and domestic abuse and has won dozens of awards for serving across London in her 28 years of police service. She is also a public speaker and gives presentations on empowerment to women belonging to hard-reach groups.

The talented Pakistani said,

“Becoming detective superintendent is a big achievement for me because I worked for 6 years for this position. I have fought crime gangs, I have been kicked, attacked, punched, assaulted, chased and gangs have targeted me. I worked at the London Olympics and at many other high profile events. I was supported by my bosses for this position when I applied for it. I would like more Muslim and Asian women to be in the police”.
