The IT couple was said by Maria B in the PS and not part of Mein promotions. That PS came out in early Nov whereas Mein started in early August. Maria B was also all gushy about Sajal Bilal chemistry when they did a PS with her during O Rangreza. The ottness is Maria B's MO for years. Besides, fashion PS that use flowery words and titles to describe the couple and chemistry are dime a dozen.

But even if shows and films want to promote a pair, what of it:

• Didn't GM producers do a poll on both actor and character ship names during promotions?
• Didn't GM producers release a poster that said "unmatched chemistry" after the first teaser dropped?
• Didn't one of Nayab promotions poster use the word "ultimate power couple"?
• Didn't Jhoom promotion use the word "impeccable chemistry" for Haroon and Zara Noor.
• Didn't KAM3 promotion use "impeccable onscreen chemistry" for Feroze and Iqra?
• Didn't Hum TV use "magical chemistry of the stunning Maya Ali and the ever handsome Bilal Ashraf" during Yunhi promotions?
• Didn't KMKT leads do a bold magazine photoshoot for Hello Pakistan during the promotions period (in addition to the poster shoot)?
• Didn't Radd leads do a Diva magazine photoshoot trying to be hot for promotions of Radd (in addition to the poster shoot)?

Hyping the lead couple is now part and parcel of promotions of many big shows. So the selective outrage is highly hypocritical.

Maya has also worked with many many other co-actors including Affan, Hamza A, Imran Abbas, Ahsan Khan, Fahad Mirza, etc. but didn't have any link-up rumours with them. Also, what a disgusting insinuation to make about a female actor. Talk about s**shaming! There's also a world of a diff when two single people are linked versus when you are being called an adulterer and homewrecker.

it's better to stay silent here. This forum is run by bullies. They are so obsessed with yumna. They keep tabs on her shows trp, views, characters, movie etc. Yumna Iives in these bullies head rent free 24x7. Chose your mental peace over these silly fights.

Run by bullies is a big word to say when people have been going personal over the top with users over here, didn’t you see people name calling, giving employment certificates, age shaming, calling forum member mommies, karma biting, sl#t shaming actresses non stop when TB was running (ofcourse I am talking about hania as mpht was running parallel) and after that too. I have no issues if you don’t point it out but these superior fans gets her hate the most and talking about the show as Tb , yes didn’t like it and that’s a fact. If 80% liked it , then there are 20% who didn’t as well. So try and better not get personal over here with labelling everyone as bullies except “Yumna stans”

If Gentlemen is not doing good there won't be an impact to Yumna or Humayun's name

Same about Mann Jogi ,it won't hamper Bilal

The fact is these shows are not well made

GM and MJ are not concerning,if they are not good it is not hurting to see the failure even if one likes the actors I really like Yumna and Bilal.

But it is hurting to see ZPKB not getting what it deserves despite being a really good show.The chemistry between Sajal and Hamza is so good and other than leads even the side characters are awesome

Every reviewer says only positive things about this show

Sometimes it's not that easy to get how a mediocre show is getting enormous views(JN) and a viewers not ready to watch good shows

Here is my perspective. I think you have to see the target audience. I think just like Indian shows, their main audience are women , usually the house wives. I think a lot of women like masala shows because let's admit it, real life is hard and we want to escape reality. I seen few episodes of ZPKB, the actors are amazing no doubt but I think its slow build up and its not every one's cup of tea. I could be wrong but this is what I think.

I think this is my issue too although I’m not a housewife but life is tough and stressful enough. Sometimes you’re just looking for an escape.

Same here, I just want to watch masala and sometimes not think about real world issues.

Do you feel she shades Wahaj unnecessarily? I get that vibe from her. Plus I feel they deliberately “forgot” about Jo Bichar Gaye and Mahaj having worked together in the past.

Shady as hell

I saw the interview. I think she is salty, he is not giving her interview. She can be biased.

I don’t think they did. It’s really damaging to Wahaj and Maya. I cannot even for a second buy that they were secretly working with Aima to start this up.

Never in a 100 years will I believe that PTV A-list celebs will market themselves as an adulterer and homewrecker. Two single-people link-up rumours are completely different. There are literally 200,000 cringe ways to hype your chemistry and ship which does not involve hyping yourself as an adulterer and homewrecker.

Wow so people really think Aima is really on Wahaj and Maya's PR payroll Where was she during 22Q, Yunhi, JSA, Ishq Hua and various flop Geo shows this year - they could have really benefitted from Aima.

Btw, Aima is the same person who last month posted she got a mini heart attack and is in the hospital. But some days later, she posted with that she is bad with synonyms and used heart attack when what she really meant was exhaustion and high blood pressure. Aima is a hot mess everyone knows.

Yes she does, it's because he doesn't give her interviews. One interview and she is going to flip

Bullies are the ones that forces the mods to close threads because things don't go their way. Bullies are the ones who arrives uninvited on a threat and intentionally starts a fight and then cry wolf.

It's fine when actresses like ayeza, sajal, maya, hania, dure etc are shaded on or criticised but dare someone say anything against yumna. When these actresses are shaded on, nobody goes around and says everyone is obsessed over them or are jealous of their success but the moment someone says something as simply as yumna's saree s*cks then all hell brake loose. It's fine to say ayeza over acted or her dressing wasn't good and get away with it but if the same is said about yumna then it's hate. Let's not even start talking about maya. She has been getting hate for simply being close to wahaj. Even just few pages back someone casually said maya is used to hate because of her being close to her male co-stars as if she herself invites those hate.
