Valentine’s Day Special: Love stories of your favourite celebrity couples
As we all know, the month of February is symbolized as the month of love, which means love is in the air! If you ask me “Pyaar kya hai?” I would say, love varies from person to person and hence, remains an undefined emotion to date.
Today is Valentine’s Day and the world, including us, is celebrating this undefined emotion today. So, we thought why not take a trip down memory lane and share with you the love stories of our favourite celebrities.
Will ‘Gully Boy’ end the dry spell at the Pakistani box office?
Ever since the dawn of the new year, the Pakistani box office has been struggling. No movie, including Manikarnika, Cheat India, and Alita, has been able to click big with the audience. Only the Ranveer Singh starrer Simmba has been performing fairly well and hence, has amassed a total of 21.5 crores.
Superstar Shaan Shahid is all set to launch his own furniture line
We have seen numerous celebrities in the past capitalizing their stardom by launching their own brands in different business fields.

The incredible journey of Saheefa Khattak from ‘Teri Meri Kahani’ to ‘Beti’

A reporter addressed Fahad Mustafa as Fawad and things got out of hand
With the fourth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) just two days away, all the participating teams have gotten busy with their pre-launch activities to hype-up the eager fans. One such event was held by Karachi Kings on last Saturday (9th February 2019), which was meant to be the launch event of the team for this season.
Shaan and Reema all set to reunite on the big screen
One of the fond memories of the 90s’ filmy kids would be seeing the on-screen romance between the most popular filmy couple of the time, Shaan and Reema. The nostalgia today just doesn’t let you settle down with the fact that both the actors have taken different directions in life today and are no more seen working together.
But, as Faiz Ahmed Faiz beautifully says in his poem ‘Yaad,’ dhal bhee gaya hijr ka din, aa bhee gayee vasl kee raat, the two superstars who started their careers in Javed Fazil’s hit musical romantic drama Bulandi, are all set to unite for a romcom slated for release in 2020.
Shaan Reveals
In a soon-to-publish interview by Shaan to Galaxy Lollywod, the Waar actor had mentioned that he was working on a film with his Bulandi co-star, Reema Khan.
Just a couple of days back, the actor shared a snap of himself and Reema with a romantic background. The picture was actually a part of an ad campaign of Everyday and officially announced the planned project.

Shaan in the comments of the post stated that it was basically this ad for Everyday that gave both of them the idea for a romantic film that would feature the biggest filmy jodi of the 90s.
Although Shaan had only hinted at it, it was his wife, Amina Banday’s comment on the post that revealed that the two would be making a comeback.
While the title is under the wraps for now, Shaan confirmed that it’s a new project and announced in the caption that it would come out in 2020.
With Shaan possibly at the driving seat of the project (as he hinted in the interview to us), one can expect an audiovisual treat filled with some heavy dose of romance. The film would be a treat for Reema khan fans too who is missing from big screen after a lukewarm response to her second directorial, Love Mein Ghum.
And since we have mentioned Love Mein Ghum, it is pertinent to mention here that Shaan was also all set to play the lead role in this directorial of Reema’s back in 2008. He, however, dropped out of the project, reportedly, due to differences over the script.
Darlings of Lollywood
After the smashing success of Bulandi, Shaan and Reema became darlings of the lolly-town overnight and were cast together in multiple films. This, despite the fact that many of their films did not work at the box office.
Filmmakers, however, still had faith in the pair and continued casting them in ther countless projects. So much so that the filmy couple became the poster face of Lollywood just like Fawad and Mahira became for Pakistani dramas after Humsafar.
Besides Bulandi, the pair gave some memorable flicks in the 90s such as Nikah, Mujhe Chand Chahiye (though Reema wasn’t opposite Shaan in this), and Chandi to name a few.
How would this reunion translate on the big screen remains to be seen. We hope that the project meets all the contemporary demands of filmmaking and has a mature romance with a strong story, good dialogues, and music.
We also hope that this one does materialise for good, unlike many similar reports in the past that were either untrue or couldn’t eventually be realised for one reason or another.

Lahore High Court orders authorities to collect taxes from cinema houses
Listening to a citizen’s petition, Lahore High Court last Wednesday ordered the Excise and Taxation Department to collect the overdue taxes from cinema houses. It was brought into the court’s attention that the authorities had been practicing negligence and were involved in corruption in terms of tax collection from cinemas.
The court was informed that the government department had been providing tax exemptions to cinema houses without any plausible cause. The petitioner Muhammad Hasnain; through his legal counsel Advocate Usman Khalil, suggested the court that this was due to the prevalent corruption in the department.
