On Tuesday, Netflix reported that it had lost over 200,000 subscribers, during Q1 this year. The last time Netflix lost this many subscriber was in October 2011, almost a decade ago. Consequently, Netflix shares plummeted by almost 25% in extended hours.
The streaming website warned that there may still be trouble ahead. Stocks of streaming websites Roku, Spotify, and Disney also cratered in the after-hours market after the update.
The company forecasted a plunge of 2 million global paid subscribers for Q2.
Netflix exclaimed that the shutting down of its services in Russia and canceling the subscription of its Russian paid members resulted in a loss of 700,000 subscribers. If that had not occurred, Netflix notes that it would have seen a net addition of 500,000 during the quarter.
The company also highlighted that the increasing competition from other streaming platforms, password sharing, and many other factors had also contributed to the loss in paid memberships.

Aulaad has an interesting plot, logical scenarios and is well written keeping in mind a purpose. We finally get to see a drama, after a long time, in which the storyline revolves around the elders, I.e., parents. It is interesting to see their perspective, that too from an emotional angle. It has been only 3 weeks Aulaad is on air but the storyline with strong characters already seems promising. On top of it, it is also breaking stereotypes and it is refreshing to see a daughter in law having a caring and loving character.

A well-thought script that is still interesting even though the drama is about to end in the weeks to come. The intriguing plot is what has hooked the audience all this time. Though Guddi and Adam have just started to fall in love, it would be interesting to see where it heads in the upcoming episodes.
The drama is so well-executed and well-written, it gives the vibes of old PTV dramas that we thought will never come back, but it is. Huge round of applause for Urwa and Imran for acting brilliantly. A highly recommended drama you shouldn’t miss out on.

This was a much-awaited episode, thanks to the last epidode where Zohra finally reveals her true identity to Moosa. Now the audience was eagerly waiting to see how Moosa will react to this reality. This episode shows that there is no going back for Moosa. On the other hand, Zohra, too, seems to be liking him, which is a bit off as she gave the impression of being a hard-to-get person. Esa and Sakina are two more characters who are coming in the limelight with each episode.
Moosa is still struggling to name his feelings for Zohra. At one point, he does confess his love for her though. This is against his own beliefs and is contrary to picture of the woman he imagined he would fall in love with. Turns out, Moosa is head over heels in love with Zohra, even after knowing everything about her. In order to find out answers to his questions, Moosa even agrees to pay for a meeting with his love. It would be interesting to see how Ana Ji handles this situation further as she has already got an idea about what is cooking.
Sakina’s character is a bit smarter than the audience anticipated. She is capable of manipulating people and this is exactly what she is doing with Esa. Esa, who has started liking her, is falling for her tricks.
Raqs e Bismil reflects the dual standards we have for male and female in our society. Like when Sakina was in a similar situation, Pir Sahab behaved differently and now with Moosa, he appears to be more relaxed. Also, Pir Sahab is such an influential figure in his area, yet he went to get his son released, why? This could have easily been done via a phone call.
It is needless to say that Moosa and Esa are two characters who are doing exceptionally good acting. Zohra seemed a little bit less impressive today but Sakina surprised everyone with her performance. Looking forward the next episode now.
This episode was full of surprises and drama. Moosa (Imran Ashraf) is still deeply and madly in love with Zohra even though he has not seen a single glimpse of her yet, without veil. All he knows is that Zohra is a pious lady who observes hijab, and this is exactly the kind of woman he would want to marry.

Contrary to his own belief and sayings, Moosa is in love but he is not willing to accept it. He was seen convincing Zohra (Sarah Khan) to marry her throughout the episode. He seemed like a naive person with a soft corner for people, which is not the real Moosa we saw in the previous episodes.

Zohra on the other hand, appreciated whatever Moosa did for her. However, she prefers showing her true self to Moosa instead of just telling him. No wonder Moosa was surprised to the core when he got to know that Zohra is not someone he has perceived to be. She belonged to a family of entertainers and was part of a high-end party when Moosa spotted her.

Esa and Sakina are still trying to figure out things. Sakina proves herself to be more stubborn while Esa is being patient, but he gives Sakina a reality check for sure. Esa also tells her that he is bearing all this because of her parents, who he respects a lot. But the truth is that he also loves Sakina. Momin provokes Sakina and asks her to see who is “Beghairat”; himself or her ex. Seems like this will intrigue Sakina to search for her ex and somehow, she will end up falling in love with Esa.

What Is Coming Next?
So far, Raqs e Bismil has portrayed an interesting plot with strong characters. This is an unconventional story with ups and downs.
The teaser shows that in the next episode, Moosa’s father will get to know about Zohra. This will make it further difficult for Moosa as he will not be able to control his feelings for Zohra. Let us see what else happens next!
“Your Father Died Just A Week Ago and You Are Posting About Drama” – Internet Trolls Attack Sarah Khan
The glamorous world of entertainment is very cruel. People do not even think for a moment before posting judgmental comments here. That is what exactly happened with Sarah Khan when she shared a picture of her latest drama Raqs e Bismil and criticism started pouring in.
Sarah and Noor Khan lost their father last week. They have already lost their mother to a long battle with cancer in 2017. Now the three sisters and two brothers are going through a lot of pain after losing both the parents, yet some netizens have got no basic manners.

It was Abdul Samad Zia, who was also Sarah Khan’s official wedding photographer, who broke this news on the internet. While many fans commented their heartfelt condolences to the Khan sisters, there were some who thought it was the perfect time to school Sarah Khan.
Ms. Khan shared the picture of “Moosa Aur Zohra” and a troll said, “Moosa n Zohra ki pari hai!!! N ur father? Abhe ek week hua hai unha gaye huye and ur posting about dramas? Oh God, kesi dunia hai ye adakari ki”. To which Sarah Khan responded, “kyun ek maheenay baad post karti to gham kum ho jata? Does that even make any sense?”

People should realize that not everyone needs their advice, especially when it is unsolicited and you are giving it to someone who is going through the trauma of losing a dear one.
This is the second saddening news we came to know in the past week. Earlier it was the death of Aiman and Minal Khan which was announced by Aiman’s husband Muneeb on social media.
We are deeply saddened by both the deaths and offer our condolences to the families.
Imran Abbas and Alizeh Shah have been part of the entertainment industry for quite a while now. The both have been part of some amazing projects and have created their own identity with their work. Both look good together on and off the screen and a rumour has it that they are about to tie the knot soon.
Recently the duo was seen together in Jo Tu Chahay and stunned the audience with their performance. In fact, the chemistry between the two is the main reason the drama became a hit. It is mention-worthy here that Imran Abbas, who has been in the industry for a little longer and is known for his powerful characters in Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan, Tum Kon Piya, Akbari Asghari, Dil-e-Muztar, Alvida and Mohabbat Tumsay Nafrat Hai has never been mentioned in any kind of scandal before and this is why this news becomes even more interesting.
In an interview, Imran Abbas has candidly hinted towards getting married soon and people cannot help but speculate that he is going to choose Alizeh Shah as his life partner. They have already been spending quality time together and, unlike on screen, where they seem to have serious personalities, both are having a lot of fun together. According to sources, the two have been dating for a couple of months now.
Here is a video of them lip-syncing to dialogues from the blockbuster movie Jab We Met.
Imran Abbas took to Instagram and rubbished all these baseless rumors of his marriage. In a question/answer session, his fans asked a lot of questions about his personal and professional life, which the actor answered patiently. It was in response to one of these questions that Imran Abbas spilled the beans on his marriage.
Let us see how things roll out for both of them and we would be more than delighted to see them together, again, in real life. All the best to both of them!
