Sania Mirza Talks About Weight Loss After Pregnancy

Sania Mirza was blessed with a baby boy and after that, she gained weight, however, after hard work she lost her weight.

In total, she lost 26 kgs after four months of hard work and dedication. From 89 kgs to 63, she did it.

In an interview, she talked about her weight loss journey and said, “I think if I was not an athlete then I would like to be healthy. Of course, my focus was on weight loss because I am an athlete and I had to go back to my job.”

“It’s important for me to be healthy. I am very focused and it is very important for me to be healthy not just on the outside its more from inside.”

She further said, “When I delivered Izhaan after that I felt unhealthy internally, so it’s my personality that I want to be healthy and it ha nothing to do with the athlete. I just want want to say this its important that you take 2-3 hours for yourself and exercise.”

Sania Mirza went through a lot of changes and she shared, “I lost weight very fast but even if it’s slow it’s fine because it beings sanity to you. As a woman, when you conceive and deliver, your body and your mind go through a lot. So many things including hormones change in your body.”

Talking about postpartum depression, she said, “I didn’t go through post-partum depression because I started working out so early. I used to go on walks in the beginning. I believe its important to focus on yourself. After delivering baby your life doesn’t end but it has started.”

When Sania Mirza gained weight people criticized her a lot and threw mean comments on her.

Talking about trolls, she said, “Gosh! I realized people can be so mean. Most of them were women who were judgemental. It’s horrible when a woman who has gone through all this say such things. I feel sorry for them because they have the venomous thing in them to say such mean things.”

“At that time, those comments were hurting me because it’s not in my control that I am producing a child and gaining weight.”

Sania Mirza also shared, “During my pregnancy, I enjoyed a lot and I ate everything which I couldn’t eat on normal days.”

Here is Sania Mirza sharing about her weight loss journey:

Matching Outfits Worn By Pakistani Celebrities And Their Children

There is nothing more special for a parent to develop a connection with their child and make memories with them. This is the reason, the most popular way of making the pictures and special occasion even more memorable and celebrated is to opt for color-coordinated outfits. This is always very exciting for parents to find and wear matching or color-coordinated outfits with their children because it immediately shows them as a single-family unit with a lot of thought and effort that has gone into making their moments special.

This rings true for Pakistani celebrities where they love to wear color-coordinated and matching outfits with their children. Such pictures are mostly seen at auspicious occasions such as Eids but there are also those celebrities who do that for their beautiful family photoshoots or any special day that they want to add more meaning to. This is the reason, these pictures are well received by their fans and also serve as an inspiration to the new parents who are looking for ideas to make their pictures special.

Let’s take a look at the beautiful pictures of when Pakistani celebrities matched their outfits to their children:
Aiman Khan and Amal Muneeb
Aiman Khan celebrated the very first Eid with her daughter this year. Due to it being the very first Eid of Amal, Aiman made sure to make it super special and what better way than to wear a mommy and mini-me matching outfit. Aiman did not just opt for color coordination, in fact, she decided to make Amal wear the exact same outfit as hers, but in a mini version, which was super cute.

Aiman Khan wore a beautiful pastel-toned dress, perfect for summers, and added a multi-colored pastel-toned dupatta. Amal wasn’t too behind in styling because she also carried the dupatta on her tiny shoulders and wore matching bangles as well. These pictures of Mommy Aiman and Baby Amal were very cute.

Ayeza Khan and Hoorain Taimoor
After her marriage and motherhood, Ayeza Khan has shown that she puts in a lot of thought into planning her family photoshoots which document the special occasions they share, such as Eids, Birthdays, and Anniversaries. This has given Ayeza Khan a lot of occasions where she has worn color coordinated and matching outfits with her daughter Hoorain.

In recent photoshoots that were clicked on Mother’s Day, Ayeza Khan and Hoorain wore beautiful matching outfits in green. The photoshoot had a theme where both mommy and baby were having a conversation over a cup of tea. She also wore pink floral loungewear for the sake of photoshoot and it looked beautiful. For her birthday when she had a party at home, she and Hoorain wore similar nightsuits in pink as well. This gives a lot of ideas to mothers of daughters who want to make their pictures special and meaningful.

Danish Taimoor, Hoorain and Rayyan Taimoor
Danish Taimoor too enjoys wearing matching outfits with his son. He is always seen either color coordinating or wearing the same outfits on every special occasion he gets to celebrate with his family. On Eid this year, although their family kept it simple and Danish Taimoor shared a heartfelt message, he as a father still put in some effort to make this Eid special and memorable for his kids. The entire family wore shades of pink whereas Danish and Rayan wore similar kurtas with white trousers.

Fahad Mustafa and Moosa Fahad
Fahad Mustafa’s love for specs has been picked up by his son Moosa Fahad as well. This is why Fahad Mustafa himself has shared quite a few pictures of his son wearing specs, following the style of his father. Fahad Mustafa and his son also wore matching outfits; a green shalwar kameez with silver button detailing to it and threadwork around the collar. To complete the look, they opted for a similar accessory; a pair of black sunnies and they looked perfect.

Faysal Qureshi and Farmaan Qureshi
Faysal Qureshi had a son this year and he got to celebrate his first Eid too. This is why, in order to make it more special and memorable, the father-son duo wore exactly the same outfits. Faysal Qureshi and Farmaan wore elegant black shalwar kameez with gold accents to it, golden embroidery on the pocket with golden zip around the collar. We love a cute zip on Farmaan’s outfit too.

Feroze Khan and Sultan Khan
Feroze Khan picked up similar outfits for himself and his son when he celebrated his very first Eid. He picked up a patterned taupe kurta and paired it with white shalwar. Sultan was just an infant on his first Eid but he looked super cute wearing a matching outfit to his father.

Fiza Ali and Faraal
Fiza Ali is one such celebrity who shows that she doesn’t need to wait for special occasions to make her daughter dress up like her. Be it Eids or Birthdays, she puts in extra effort for sure but every now and then, she continues to share such pictures from her regular life where she and Faraal wear the same outfits and accessories. All these pictures are fun and show that Fiza Ali definitely loves making her daughter wear the same outfits. Be it formal dresses or casual ones, western wear, or even a simple white shalwar kurta, Faraal has to dress up like mommy Fiza and they both look super cute.

Imran Ashraf and Roham Imran
Imran Ashraf too likes dressing Roham up like him. This is why when Roham was a newborn, he celebrated his first Eid with his parents and his father Imran Ashraf decided to make him wear the same outfit as him; a plain off-white shalwar kameez with a golden beige waistcoat. This was such a cute picture. Imran Ashraf and Roham have again been seen in matching plain shalwar kameez.

Javeria Saud and Jannat Saud
Javeria Saud and Jannat Saud also wear color-coordinated outfits. The outfits that Javeria picks up for her daughter are not exactly the smaller version of the ones she wears, but the fabric and color are very much the same. She also adds similar embellishments but makes them age-appropriate for Jannat. This is another brilliant way of looking at the family pictures beautiful while still maintaining the mommy-daughter style separately.

Shehzad Sheikh and Shahmir Sheikh
Shehzad Sheikh also enjoys wearing similar and color-coordinated outfits. As seen in the picture below, he wore a similar white shalwar kameez on Eid, making it a memorable one for their family album.

10 Times Sajal Aly Complimented Ahad Raza Mir

Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir are the nation’s sweethearts. Their couple is well-loved and respected. It was right after their first-ever project Yakeen Ka Safar together that their fans wanted to see them as a couple and their dreams eventually came true when Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly officialized their relationship. They were seen together in TVCs and print photoshoots, soon after they got engaged in June 2019 and then tied the knot in March 2020.

Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly are one of the biggest celebrities of Pakistan and they both enjoy star status due to the love they receive from their fans. They both have huge fanbases separately but then there are also those Sahad supporters who join hands to show love to their idols. This is the reason why every single picture, every move of theirs is closely followed and then appreciated a lot more. Although Sajal and Ahad have kept their relationship quite low profile and due to this reason, every time they post something related to each other, it is nothing short of a treat for their fans and well-wishers.

Let’s take a look at the few times Sajal Aly complimented her husband Ahad Raza Mir on her social media handle:
Praising Ahad Raza Mir’s Performance in Parwaz Hai Junoon
Sajal posted a heartfelt note for Ahad Raza Mir and not only that, she shared what she felt when she saw his mother cheering for him. Sajal felt she could relate to it because she had seen her mother doing the same for her. Sajal also spoke about Ahad’s brilliant performance in his debut film Parwaaz Hai Junoon, telling him that she was proud of his great reveal.

Wishing Him Happy Birthday
It was probably for the first time that Sajal dedicated a post to her co-star right after they finished shooting for Yakeen Ka Safar. This is when their fans started speculating that they might be in a relationship. Sajal wished him simply but the words Superstar are enough to show how she sees him as an actor and as a person in her life.

Using Aangan’s Dialogue As Her Feelings
Sajal Aly picked up one of the best dialogues from drama serial Aangan which both Ahad and Sajal were a part of. Interestingly, she penned down that dialogue to promote the drama by sharing its clip but when reading between the lines, it can be clearly understood that she feels that in her heart too.

Complimenting Her Husband On His Stage Performance
Ahad Raza Mir is a theater actor and he has performed internationally in a lot of plays. Sajal took it to her Instagram to appreciate Ahad’s talent and acknowledge that playing Hamlet was nothing short of an accomplishment. It goes to show how Sajal is one of the biggest fans of her husband and appreciates his talent a lot.

Cutest Caption
This TVC came right after the couple of Dr. Asfandyar and Dr. Zubia was the new rave in the drama world. Everyone loved seeing Ahad and Sajal together and loved their chemistry as well. Sajal once again cutely shared the tagline of the TVC and fans could not help read between the lines that she was hinting as something that was bound to happen in the near future.

Ye Dil Mera
Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir gave one of the finest performances of their careers in their recent drama Ye Dil Mera. The title of the drama was related to the love story of Amaan and Ana. Sajal decided to share a picture of her co-star and fiance and simply stated Ye Dil Mera, clearly showing that she was referring to Ahad Raza Mir.

Sajal Loves Ahad’s Smile
Out of the few pictures Sajal had initially shared of her wedding, this one had a very special meaning to it. Sajal was waiting to be welcomed by her groom on their wedding day and all that she could see through the veil was Ahad Raza Mir’s smile that she absolutely loves, hence the caption.

Sketching Ahad Raza Mir’s Beauty
Sajal Aly tried her hands on sketching and she decided the only one she wanted to sketch was her husband Ahad Raza Mir. However, she knew she tried her best but she complimented him yet again saying that she couldn’t do justice to his beauty and it was hard to capture. How sweet!

Making Desserts For Her Husband
Sajal Aly tried her hands on baking and decided to make cinnamon rolls. She was unsure of the outcome, that’s why she asked her husband Ahad Raza Mir for his opinion, obviously, she made it for him in the first place and presented it in such a beautiful manner.

Sajal Likes Ahad Raza Mir’s Photography Skills
Sajal recently shared a picture of hers which was clicked by her husband Ahad Raza Mir. She was unsure of what to caption it but the one thing she was sure of was the fact that she really liked her photographer. We too believe Ahad Raza Mir did a good job in capturing Sajal Aly’s beauty.

Sabaat Episode 14 Story Review – Zero Character development

Tonight’s episode of Sabaat yet again suggested that this drama is not going to deal with mental illness seriously like many other Pakistani dramas we have watched in the past. My expectations while watching Sabaat are completely different now. In the beginning, I was expecting it to be more meaningful and well-put-together but now it is pretty clear that Sabaat is another mediocre drama with a star cast. The production values are impressive and Sarah Khan has definitely put in a lot of effort to look and act differently this time around but the character she is playing does not have enough to offer. Miraal/Dr.Haris track is more likely to be a love story since they are not just meeting in cafes but also talking on the phone after working hours! Anaya and Hasan’s relationship is gradually turning out to be the better aspect of this drama although Hasan’s idea of inviting their friends at the office was such a bad one! Anaya’s relationship with her parents remains the best part of this drama but I honestly think that the writer needed to put in more life and substance into Miraal’s character. Miraal could have been a complex and grey character but so far she comes across as a brat who needs to get a life, nothing more and nothing less!!

Anaya and Hasan
All the scenes covering Anaya and Hasan’s track were realistic. The conversation with Anaya’s parents and the sweet romance in the office made their scenes likable. Some of the conversations were stretched and could have been chopped down. It is however strange that Hasan continues to ignore the fact that Anaya and Miraal simply cannot work in the same office especially considering the fact that Miraal is her boss. The writer has already established the fact that Anaya cannot work anywhere else since the last time Hasan tried to work elsewhere, there was great opposition. Anaya for now is putting up with everything in order to keep the ‘peace’. Sadly, Anaya too in a way is turning out to be one of those people who simply let Miraal get away with everything. Hasan thought it was alright to invite their friends to the office without informing ‘the boss’, that was like asking for trouble! Even when Hasan suggested it, I was hoping that Anaya will tell him that this was not a good idea but she went along with the idea. This confrontation was definitely not needed and could have been easily avoided!

It was good to see Anaya sharing her problems with her father and it would have been even better if they got the chance to talk about it. Hasan’s mother also sensed that Miraal might be the reason behind Anaya’s sudden absence. For now, Hasan and Anaya are being ‘nice’ because they do not want to cause more problems for Hasan’s mother. I hope that things change in that department since both these characters have strong personalities and they are educated, they can easily move out of the house and stay in touch with Hasan’s parents. People live independently after getting married, there is nothing unusual about it therefore this whole issue now seems more forced than ever. Hasan and Anaya can live a simple life peacefully free from all the unwanted insults and trouble since they are definitely not dependent on materialistic things for happiness.

Miraal and Dr.Haris
There was only one scene in this episode that covered Dr.Haris’ attempt to make Miraal understand what she needed to do in order to change her thinking and attitude. Miraal did not pay much heed to his advice in fact her dialogue ‘aap meri counseling kar rahe hei ya mujhe depressed kar rahe hei’ was funny! She is so used to hearing what she wants to hear that these polite reality checks make her ‘depressed’!! So basically, Miraal wants Dr.Haris to make her happy – essentially do what everyone else has been doing for years, which is fundamentally the root cause of her mental disorder. Miraal’s scenes tonight clearly suggested that she is also falling for her doctor. She doesn’t want to listen to him and is still quite focused on ‘eliminating’ Anaya but she enjoys talking to Dr.Haris! Showing gradual change in Miraal’s attitude would have made this track more meaningful otherwise Haris could have been Miraal’s love-interest only, why introduce him as the therapist?

Haris’ creepy friend continued to play the role he played in the previous episode. It is truly upsetting watching such a big production house normalizing such behavior. Surely, these scenes are not adding much to the story but give the wrong impression about the profession. Yes! This must happen but why show it so casually like there is nothing wrong with it.

Miraal is no longer seeing ‘naani’ therefore I am assuming that Haris has been able to make Miraal feel less insecure but then is that a good thing? Doesn’t Miraal need to understand that she will eventually be left alone if she doesn’t change her ways? This track is seriously confusing! Any guy Miraal would have fallen for could have made her realize the things, Haris is trying to make her realize. He hasn’t done anything yet which a businessman or an engineer couldn’t do – if you know what I mean!! More than once in this episode, Miraal blamed Hasan’s shadi for making her mentally upset! So basically these 3 sessions with Dr. Haris have not changed her thinking at all.

Final Remarks
Tonight’s episode of Sabaat had some likable scenes, Anaya/Hasan and Anaya’s family’s scenes are always refreshing. The progress in Miraal’s track wasn’t too impressive. Hopefully, a huge loss in business will turn out to be an eye-opener for Miraal! As I said, I don’t have high expectations from this drama anymore. Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani look cute together, hopefully, they will move out of this house and start a new life! This drama definitely needs to pick up pace and a change is much-needed.

Can someone please tell me why this employee wanted the day off? His dialogue delivery wasn’t audible. I think I know what he said but not too sure!

Did you watch tonight’s episode of Sabaat? Do share your thoughts about it.
