Mahira said she is happy about the show's return to TV.

Sadqay Tumhare is a heartfelt, simple love story. Shano is one of my favorite characters. She was otherworldly, romantic, and just pure love. It is a nostalgic moment to see the show, which is so close to my heart, return to television where it all started.

“I am excited to have this opportunity to connect with the Indian audience once again through Zindagi,” the actor, also known for Pakistani show Humsafar and Hindi film Raees, said in a statement.

According to the official synopsis, a village belle named Shano yearns to meet her fiance Khalil who is settled in the big city. Initially, Khalil is hesitant about his feelings for Shano considering now that he has better prospects in the city but he eventually falls in love with her.

In addition to Sadqay Tumhare, Zindagi’s line-up such as popular show Aunn Zara starring Maya Ali and Osman Khalid Butt, and Silvat, a short film directed by Tanuja Chandra featuring Kartik Aaryan and Meher Mistry, among others.

Hrithik Roshan says making 'War 2' was not easy as the teaser with NTR Jr hits 25 million views

Hrithik Roshan isn’t interested in playing it cool anymore. With War 2, he’s traded sleek for unhinged, and he’s loving every bit of the madness. The teaser’s already clocked over 25 million views, but Roshan’s excitement goes beyond the numbers. For him, it’s about diving headfirst into a character who’s damaged, dangerous, and deeply fun to play.

“There’s something about Kabir,” he says of his return as the rogue RAW agent. “He’s flawed. He’s unpredictable. And I love that.” For Roshan, this isn’t just a hero’s clean comeback but also a chance to get his hands dirty again.

Charli XCX says her next album might flop and she’s totally fine with it

After the explosive success of Brat, Charli XCX isn’t trying to bottle lightning twice. In fact, she’s more than ready for her next album to sink. Not because she’s lost her touch but because she’s no longer creating music to top charts or break the internet. She’s doing it for herself.

Speaking at Cannes in an interview with Culted, Charli shared that she doesn’t feel the weight of trying to outdo Brat. “When I made Brat, I believed in it, but I didn’t know how people would react,” she said. “It just clicked with the audience. That wasn’t something I planned.” Now, with her next record on the horizon, she’s bracing for it to miss the mark and she’s completely okay with that. “You can’t repeat the same thing twice,” she added, “and honestly, if it flops, I’m fine with it.”

Aishwarya Rai reigns the Cannes 2025 red carpet in a £2.9 million ruby necklace and handwoven ivory Banarasi saree

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival with the grace and impact only she can command. For her 22nd appearance, she skipped the usual fashion formulas and stepped onto the red carpet in a handwoven ivory Banarasi saree by Manish Malhotra. With her sindoor clearly visible and a smile that lit up the red carpet, Aishwarya didn’t just attend Cannes but took it back to its roots, on her own terms.

The saree, built like a gown but rooted in tradition, featured hand embroidered zari in silver and a flowing lace train that moved like a dream. She paired the look with a dramatic cape style dupatta that shimmered under the lights, and jewellery that turned heads, over 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds wrapped around her neck. The red lip, the signature hair parted with sindoor, every element was deliberate, and every detail carried a message.
