There really never is a dull moment within the Pakistani entertainment industry. We’ve had quite the thrilling year, from our celebrities either getting married or raising various controversies – 2018 was full of a LOT of times when celebrities legit broke the internet and left us all speechless.
So, let’s begin, shall we?
1. When Mr. and Mrs. Panther appeared on a morning show together
…Where Aamir’s wife admitted to calling him ‘panther’ as a nickname.
2. When Javed Sheikh tried to kiss Mahira Khan
Mahira was so embarrassed by all the trolling Javed Sheikh was receiving, she had to intervene and make it clear that she respects him immensely – but still – it was MEGA awkward LOL.
Congratulations my favourite @TheMahiraKhan for winning the best actor award for #Verna 😃 you truly deserve it ❤ and I love you a lot ❤ #MahiraKhan #LSA2018 pic.twitter.com/Il5skyFZ1H

3. Momina Mustehsan and Ahad Raza Mir’s Coke Studio of ‘Ko Ko Korina’ that almost started World War III

4. Zayn Malik literally ruining Kailash Kher’s iconic ‘Teri Deewani‘…
5. …And then declaring himself a non-Muslim
zayn malik: leaving islam.
fully understand why so many things are haraam in islam, the music industry and alcohol being an example. they just distance you from your religion till you’ve lost all faith.
zayn’s a prime example of letting fame get to his head. cancelled. 🤮 pic.twitter.com/qhghOfw2XK
