My Playlist with Sheheryar Rehan
Sheheryar Rehan

RISING Pakistani star Sheheryar Rehan has been dazzling music fans with top tracks like Dil Mera Naraz Hai, Teri Yaadein Kyun and the recently released Jugnu. The young musician’s unique blend of contemporary, traditional, emotive and relatable music elements has garnered him a growing fanbase.

Eastern Eye decided to find out more by getting him to select 10 songs he loves.


Laree Choote by Call: One of my alltime favourite songs. The melody, main chorus, and everything about this song just takes me back in time. It has such a strong nostalgic feel that transports you to a different time, where everything just felt right. For me it’s always a reminder jo hota hai achay kai liye hota hai (whatever happens, happens for the best).

Husn by Anuv Jain: This is one of those songs that just soothes your soul every time you listen to it. The emotions behind every lyric encapsulate you completely. His vocals are truly just ahead of our time.

Sajna by Mitraz: I listen to Mitraz a lot. What they are doing is great. The blend of traditional Indian music with contemporary styles is so catchy. It’s an entirely new vibe. Sajna always puts me in a karaoke mood.

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls: This is another all-time favourite. No matter how old this song gets, it will always be in my list of top numbers. Nothing beats it. The hauntingly beautiful melody, guitar riffs and Johnny Rzeznik’s lyrics are iconic.

His recent release

Jhol by Annural Khalid & Maanu: Ever since the newest Coke Studio season came out, this has easily become a top favourite. I love how this is a new contemporary style Punjabi song. Maanu and Annural’s voices intertwine in such a way that it just hooks you.

 Nadaniyaan by Akshath: It’s a great light-hearted listen. The melody, sound and main chorus are simple, yet so addictive that you can’t help sing along to every word.

Faasle by Kaavish: This song has a special place in my heart. It showcases such a rich cultural heritage and musical tradition. It has a captivating melody that just makes you transcend into another dimension because of its unique musical mix of tradition with modern elements.

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage by Arijit Singh: One of my top favourite artists, Arijit Singh’s vocal range throughout this song is out of this world. Every time I listen to it, I’m always left in awe of how great he is at capturing his audience and creating a soulful experience through his music.

Shape of You (Bhangra Mix) by Diljit Dosanjh and Ed Sheeran: This vibrant fusion of pop and Punjabi beats gets me dancing. The infectious rhythm and catchy hooks create a celebratory atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. Diljit’s energetic vocals, combined with Ed’s signature sound, make this remix a fun, lovefilled anthem I always enjoy.

Deepika Padukone slams Oscars but overlooks flaws in India’s film selection process

A recent Instagram post from Deepika Padukone criticising the Oscars got global attention, but few seem to have noticed it also revealed just how clueless many big-name Bollywood celebrities like her are.

In the short video clip, Padukone called out the Academy Awards for repeatedly snubbing Indian films and talent, using a montage of titles such as All We Imagine As Light, Laapataa Ladies, Tumbbad, and The Lunchbox to illustrate her point. While her suggestion that the popular awards ceremony has consistently overlooked Indian cinema may appear valid, a closer look shows that she is blaming the wrong people.

Rami Malek says filming 'The Amateur' in London made him paranoid about surveillance: “I’m being watched all the time”

Rami Malek’s latest role in The Amateur has left a lasting impression on him but not just because of the action-packed storyline. The actor, best known for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, says working on the CIA thriller has made him more alert and a bit unsettled about just how closely we’re being watched in cities like London.

The film follows Malek as Charlie Heller, a CIA codebreaker who loses his wife, played by Rachel Brosnahan, in a terrorist attack. When the agency refuses to take proper action, he pushes back, demanding training and diving headfirst into a solo mission to track down those responsible. It’s not your typical shootout story and Charlie uses brain over brawn, relying on tech, smarts and cyber tools to get justice.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo reveal ‘Wicked: For Good’ trailer at CinemaCon with “Our wizard lies” twist

The next chapter of Wicked is here or at least a sneak peek of it. At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo gave audiences the first glimpse of Wicked: For Good, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster hit. This time, the story picks up after the dramatic events at Shiz University, focusing on the two witches as their lives move in very different directions.

This exclusive trailer was presented by Grande, Erivo, director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt. Unlike last year’s introduction, when the stars arrived in bright green and pink, nodding to their characters, this time they wore all black, signalling a darker tone ahead.

Is Aaron Taylor-Johnson the new 007? Pierce Brosnan backs him as a ‘great’ James Bond

Pierce Brosnan isn’t one for loud endorsements, but when it comes to Aaron Taylor-Johnson stepping into the shoes of James Bond, he’s quietly confident. The former 007,known for his sharp suits and steady hand in four Bond films between 1995 and 2002, believes Taylor-Johnson could handle the legacy.

“He’d be great,” Brosnan said reflecting on a time they worked together over a decade ago. The film was The Greatest, a family drama where Taylor-Johnson starred alongside Brosnan, Susan Sarandon, and Carey Mulligan. Even back then, the young actor stood out to him. “He walked onto that set and brought this intense energy with him,” Brosnan recalled. “He owned the space.”

David Corenswet’s Superman lies injured as Krypto drags him to safety in a bold twist on the classic hero introduction

James Gunn’s 'Superman' trailer divides DC fans: Krypto, robot medics & comedy spark backlash

We have a latest glimpse into Superman, directed by James Gunn, and this isn’t your typical cape-flapping hero moment. Instead of flying in to save the day, we see a battered Superman lying helplessly on the ground, calling out for help and not from a fellow superhero, but from his dog, Krypto. It’s an unusual start, and it sets the tone for what’s clearly a very different take on the man of steel.

Revealed during Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon presentation and now available online, the extended trailer leans into a quirky, even offbeat tone. Superman, played by David Corenswet, is in rough shape and unable to move. As Krypto loyally drags him back to the Fortress of Solitude, things take an unexpected turn. Instead of crystal tech and solemn silence, Superman is greeted by a squad of cape-wearing robot medics who spring into action to patch him up. One scene even shows them harnessing sunlight to heal his wounds, a visual nod to Superman’s solar-powered strength.
