Mahira Khan, Adnan Siddiqui express concern over chaos at Zaman Park

A number of Pakistani celebrities have expressed their concern over the chaos at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s residence at Zaman Park in Lahore, Pakistan.

PTI workers and police engaged in a standoff outside the home of PTI leader Imran Khan in Zaman Park for nearly 24, with the law enforcers trying to get through the supporters and arrest Khan, who was voted out as the prime minister last April.


The Legend of Maula Jatt star Mahira Khan tweeted about the ongoing situation and wrote, “This is absolutely ridiculous!”

She also wished for everyone's safety. “Praying for everyone’s safety and for some sanity to prevail!” she added.

Celebrated actor Adnan Siddiqui, on the other hand, felt the support for Khan, in the form of people taking to the streets, was incredible to witness.

"It's incredible to witness people from all walks of life coming together with a shared sense of purpose, fuelled by their passion and dedication," he wrote.

He termed the support for Khan on the roads as "unprecedented" in the country's history. "Such an outpouring of support for a leader is unprecedented in the history of our country," the actor wrote.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
