We’ve all taken a family trip away, whether it was to a new city or down to the beach. But one of the challenges in these trips is figuring out what your family will eat while you’re gone.
Meal planning is the key to success when you travel. It saves you time, money and lessens the risk of eating unhealthy foods away from home. Let me share with you my meal preparation tips for your family out-of-town trip.
Have a Meal Plan
Meals are important for any general healthy lifestyle and proper diet plan since it is the main source of nutrition. When planning for a trip, most people usually carry 3-4 days’ worth of food with them.
However, it can be difficult to organize and carry a huge quantity of food items while traveling. It is also inconvenient and expensive to eat at restaurants every night. Take some time to plan your meals and snacks so you stay energized and save money.
What foods can you bring while traveling?
· Cooked meals that have no soups
· Salads with very small amount of dressing
· Fruits
· Baked food such as sweet potatoes, cakes, etc
· Veggies like carrots, cucumbers
· Pasta based meals
Use a Meal Plan App
Instead of spending your precious time figuring out what to eat every day while on a trip, plan for it in advance with a little assistance from apps. That way, you won’t always end up eating junk food at every meal.
A meal plan app helps you in writing a list of food items that will be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Food processors have become must-have equipment in today’s kitchens. You want to make your cooking experience easier, more convenient, and faster? Then you should consider getting one for yourself. The food processor makes your food preparation tasks easier, which means it helps you save time and energy. When using a food processor (machine), you will suddenly find out how much easier it is to chop or grate your ingredients than doing it manually.
That will save you from the burden of chopping vegetables so you can easily prepare your meals and snacks in minutes.
Incorporate All Food Groups
Your body needs all food groups, especially healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates while traveling, to maintain your health and boost your immune system. This is because the foods in each group help your body build and repair tissues.
Protein Food
Benefits of protein food include the essential amino acids that are found in protein that aren’t present in other food sources. Protein is found in beans, nuts, seeds, meat, dairy products, eggs, and soy products. Proteins enhance muscle growth and aid digestion and help the body to repair tissue and produce antibodies.
Fruits and Veggies
Like I mentioned before, you need to include fruits and vegetables in your food for travel. When you and your family will be out on a trip, your bodies will be vulnerable to extra exposure from germs, viruses, and illnesses which can easily cause gastrointestinal disorders if you do not take good care of yourself.
Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber plus will help you avoid many diseases when traveling.
Carbohydrates
You will need energy foods when traveling such as cakes, baked potatoes, pasta, bread, rice. Carbohydrates are good for you. They give your body plenty of energy and are important for fuelling moving muscles. The key to good health is to keep your carb consumption under control, and not just eat carbs blindly.
Invest in High-Quality Food Containers
There is one serious thing to consider when you plan to take a road trip with the whole family – bring your food! That’s right, not only will you save money but also you will reduce the amount of trash. Therefore, you should equip yourself with those cool and high-quality food containers for family road trips.
Make sure they are also durable and will keep foods safe for everyone.
There are food containers with matching cutlery sets that are perfect for eating together in the car without making any mess. Even if the kids are throwing things around, they won’t land on the floor or your clothes – because they are safely stored within these cool containers.
Clean your Food
On your travels, you have neither the time nor the energy to waste on clean-up nor shopping for complicated ingredients. There is a lot of planning that goes into eating healthy while on the road.
You need to decide what foods you are going to travel with and then plan the order in which you will prepare them; washing, peeling, and packaging your fruits and vegetables; preparing meals with little or no refrigeration; storing leftovers and then throwing away what you don’t eat at the end of each day.
What makes a brand iconic? When uniqueness, the ability to aid the clientele, quality and pricing all combine well the brand becomes legendary. A plethora of brands come and go but only a few make their mark.

You know you have lived to the fullest as an Army Brat if you can relate to at least 3 of these. Check these out.
You get a new home every year in a new city
Whenever we talk about our background, I get replies like ‘Gujjar Khan, Peshawar, Sialkot, etc’. As an Army brat, it is hard to point to just one city because all the main cities of Pakistan are my home!
I was born in one city, shifted to another for schooling, a different one for College and well, I can tell you I lived in one spot for 2 whole years; I consider it an achievement.
It is safe to say that home is where the Army assigns your dad and you get to call many places your home.
Your Father’s PA Number is very important
Well, when we talk about setting passwords for the WIFI, the locker, car’s crook lock and everything else in between; your father’s PA number comes in good use.
Interestingly, the whole family memorizes the PA number by heart. After all, we frequently use it at the Service’s Mess, Officer’s Mess as well as at the CMH.
Army Brats play these games all afternoon and never get bored
While everyone has a list of serious sports such as badminton, swimming, golf and others, Army kids live in a world of their own. Interestingly, these awesome games have been passed down by generations and nonetheless, never get old or boring.
If Teelo Express, Baraf Pani, Oonch Neech, Chupan Chupai, Stapu, Keesh, Pithu Garam and rolling down on on the golf course ring a bell, you are truly an Army brat!
Zero Concept of Boundary Walls
A mere hedge was enough to keep all the strangers out. Moreover, the colony itself was boundary enough and roaming around in nearby streets without supervision was never a problem.
Sadly, civilians can never experience the freedom of being allowed to be out of the house all afternoon without the fear of being kidnapped or caught.
Batman wasn’t the Batman from DC Comics but surely felt like one
Midsection of waiter holding service bell in plate against gray background
Ah! The struggle to find a loyal maid or butler today is a daunting task. However, it was the opposite in the Army household. A Batman (butler) was no less than a robot.
He worked in the kitchen, washed the cars, fed the pets, ironed the clothes, supervised the gardener, dropped Sahab’s clothes to the Dhobi and stayed up until the whole family was well taken care of. Above all, the same energy and zeal was a part of the deal the next day and even the day after that and even shifted from city to city when Sahab got posted. What lucky days were they.
Your Dad going for Exercise meant he was away for months
Exercise, unlike regular daily workout meant something grand when the leader of the family was assigned to it. Exercise means your father is away for no less than 3 months and you can trick your mom into letting you stay up late, watch more movies and go to the ‘canteen’ to get more snacks.
Mess ke Shami Kabab and Langar ki Daal were the perfect snack
Nobody can beat the taste of Mess ke Kabab and Langar ki Daal is out of this world! If you didn’t swear by these treats, your dad was not in the army.
The best part is, being broke never mattered. You could simply order these and your father’s PA number would act as the perfect currency for these. What happened at the end of the month was another story we shouldn’t get into!
No one knew any Aunty’s name but her Husband’s name worked
CO Aunty, G2 Aunty, Aunty Irfan, Aunty Sohail are the sort of names you knew aunties by! I mean, I still don’t know their real names. Their surnames did the trick.
Tambola was taken super seriously
Truthfully, I really miss Tambola nights. The wonderful open air setting, unlimited coca colas and uncles and aunties playing Tambola while we held our sheets; we took those days for granted. And then the special lingo you still know by heart; ‘Chor with a gun…41’. Lol, does it ring a bell?
There is so much more Army life has to offer. Do you miss those good old sweet days too? Tell your experience in the comments below.
There are a lot of exciting components that need to be taken into account when we talk about skincare. However, since everyone has a different skin type, skin tone and texture, it definitely becomes hard to place your finger on just one product. As one product will never wok for all.

Not everyone ends up in the correct career right off the bat. Some become so hypnotized by their current job that they never spot the warning signs that something was amiss. However, there’s no shortage of signs that you ended up in the wrong career, but spotting them can be difficult if you are still convincing yourself that the job you hold now is the best path for you. Did you know that, according to EdSurge, the average person will hold nearly 12 jobs by the time they are 50?
Should the career you have now be the product of many job hunts and years of experience? It is more than likely that you may actually be in the right career. However, if you are still young or fresh into your career, it’s possible that the job you have now may not be the best career for you. Don’t allow the warning signs of a bad career match to pass you by without taking any action.
Your Day-To-Day is Beyond Boring
No one ever said work would be the highlight of your day. However, if you are consistently bored each day and none of the tasks assigned to you even remotely catch your interest, consider learning how to write a resignation letter. Your boredom with day-to-day tasks will either stem from a lack of skills being used to complete your work or the ease at which those tasks can be completed.
Regardless of the exact reason, staying on a career path that leaves you bored is no way to live your life. Work will make up most of your life, and the career you hold should excite you to your core. Now, keep in mind that not every day will interest you as much as the last. But you should be able to get excited about your job.
Consider looking into more career paths and doing some research on what certain jobs entail. What seems to be a good match for your skills or interests? Be sure to do sufficient research, however, as you don’t want to end up in a career that is just as bad as the one you escape.
You Constantly Look at Job Postings
A huge red flag that the job you’re in isn’t right for you is if you see yourself looking at job postings all the time. Whether it be jobs at your own companies or others. Also, seriously looking at other jobs is indicative of the fact that you are not happy with your own career.
Clearly, you don’t believe that the job you have now is what you should be doing. When it comes to the best reasons for leaving a job, a lack of a challenge or recognition that there is a skill misalignment will show a certain level of personal introspection to new potential employers. It will also signify that you are a person who knows now what they want to do and that your time wouldn’t be wasted at a new career.
Focus on yourself and identify what it is that you actually want to do. If you wish to get a job that requires technical skills that you don’t have, online degrees are the answer. Consider taking the time to pursue a new education and launch the career that you aspire to.
You Don’t Know Where You’re Headed
Overall, a general lack of clarity on what direction you wish to head in is a big sign. Odds are, you did not guess the perfect career for yourself on the first try. Additionally, the one you hold now is a mismatch.
Not knowing the career you want can be daunting and lead you to accept any opportunity that offers a salary. However, it’s important to slow down and ensure you are entering a job for the right reasons, rather than pure convenience.
Conclusion
The warning signs that you are in the wrong career are easy to spot. Nonetheless, only if you are looking for them. Try not to fool yourself into believing that the job you have is the best option. Especially if you are still relatively new to the workforce. Being in the wrong career is a fate that occurs to many workers. However, a fate that few of those workers ever escape. Don’t let yourself be deluded by a job that isn’t a fit for your skills and interests. Additionally, don’t stop searching until you find a job that fills you with passion

As the saying goes ‘the best investment on earth is earth’. Real estate investments have been making more millionaires than any other sector since decades. However, investing in real estate is not as effortless as it seems.
It requires in-depth knowledge and research. Moreover, numerous other factors help determine if the investment is right for you.
Whether it a plot, plot file, a residential building, or a commercial project; Here are the most crucial factors to consider before you make a move. More importantly, these will significantly affect the returns on your investment.
Market Valuation of the Property
Property valuation is imperative for financing during the initial stages of the investment. Namely, during the purchase, listing price, taxation, and insurance.
Establishing the correct property rate for the market can be tricky. However, this is of key importance in determining the returns on your investment.
Let us give you an example. If you buy property that costs 10% above the market rate, you automatically incur a loss of 10% right at the start of your investment. A wise move would be to buy below the market rate, especially in a downtrend market.
Do your Homework before the Investment
It is adequate to check the property prices from different sources before making a purchase. Moreover, with the technological advancement nowadays, it has become trouble-free and convenient to check the prices of nearby properties online to determine the market value.
For plots, check the prices of nearby plots and view the on-ground locations. See and evaluate nearby amenities such as parks and schools. Consequently, this will allow you to better determine the market value of the plot.
For starters, there are plots with a few drawbacks. Surprisingly, those at the society boundary or near obstructions are usually priced significantly lower than the market. Be careful before you make a move for these sorts of plots.
For houses and buildings, the construction cost, condition of premises, and rental income all add up to determine the value. Hence, check the construction costs per sq. foot, depreciation in construction of old buildings, and rental value in the vicinity.
Legal status of the property
Non-approved societies, fraudulent schemes, and mass-level scams loom upon the real estate sector of Pakistan. Hence, it is of utmost importance to check the legal status of the property and the society.
You need to be aware of the laws that apply to the vicinity you buy property in. It is ideal to hire a lawyer who has a deep insight so that he can walk you through the whole process effortlessly.
Moreover, it can be done by checking the websites of relevant authorities. Namely, LDA for Lahore, CDA for Islamabad, KDA for Karachi, and similar government authorities in other cities.
Imperative things to check are approval status, approval date, and the current objections placed by the authority before making a purchase.
Another crucial factor to keep in mind is to ensure the status of Phase and Block approval of any society. For instance, if phase-1 of a society is approved, it does not mean all other phases are also approved. Hence, after confirming the status of the society, the next step will be to evaluate the specific property which you plan to purchase.
Almost all of the societies have a property verification process in place. You can simply verify the property by visiting the society office and proceed for the verification process on the prescribed format of the society. Moreover, it is also ideal to check that the property in question has any outstanding dues with the society. If there are any outstanding dues, it is better to convey this to the property owner to clear those dues before finalizing the deal.
Make an Exit Strategy
Similar to any type of investment, planning for your exit strategy is the most crucial step. It will affect your capital gains on the investment. This strategy should answer the following questions:
When will you sell the property?
What did the location look like at that point of time?
Who will be the buyer of your property?
This is often ignored by investors and buyers as they are only focused on the developer or development highlight. Thus resulting in a loss or slow gain in capital investment.
Additionally, be sure to plan the time frame of your investment. In order to clearly define your investment time frame, frame it in 3, 5, or 10 years. It is important to visualize the location after x number of years.
The future development and accessibility of the society or project are of key significance. Often commonly ignored is the fact that who the buyer will be at the time of selling. For instance, if you are investing in an under-development society, your buyer can be the person who wishes to construct a house. On the other hand, if a commercial building is in question, it can be a new business or an established brand planning to open a new outlet. For a property with rental income potential, you can predict that there will be tenants who will be interested to rent it.
As the society or a project goes through different investment cycles, the best gains can be achieved when you focus on and plan your exit strategy based on the final end buyer.

It is unthinkable that some of our favorite top celebrities today were once mere ordinary citizens like us. They led their day-to-day lives normally and slowly gained the recognition they so dearly deserve.
Interestingly, every year we witness so many actors come and go, never to be heard of again. It requires dedication, commitment, hard work, and luck to reach the top. Moreover, the showbiz industry is full of stars, however, only small percentages make it to the prime time screen, becoming household names globally. While so many Hollywood actors became A-Listers after joining a superhero movie, the truth is that it works differently in Bollywood and Pakistani media industry.
We decided to shed light on all the B-grade actors that worked hard to reach the top to join the A-Lister team globally and you won’t believe your eyes.
Chris Hemsworth
The Australian actor Chris Hemsworth began his career in 2002. Interestingly, he appeared in various television series and movies as a B-grade actor. However, 2011 was his year when he was to star in a thriller named Shadow Runner, produced by Sony Pictures but the movie never went into production.
However, The Marvel Cinematic Universe cast him as Thor in their famous Superhero movie in 2011 and things changed for him drastically. Apparently, Hemsworth gained 20 pounds of muscle for his God of Thunder role and it paid off. The movie grossed $449.3 million and the movie was ranked in the top 15 that year.
Later, he starred in The Cabin in the Woods, Ron Howard’s drama series Rush, Thor: (The dark world) 2013 and Snow White and the Huntsman 2012. Moreover, he scored In the heart of the sea 2015 and Avengers Endgame as an A-Lister actor and made millions.
Gweneth Paltrow
Interestingly, Gweneth Paltrow began her career with her father’s movie named High in 1989. She starred in various feature films such as Shout, Shallow Hal, Infamous, Sliding Doors, and many others. However, you might remember her in Shakespeare in Love in 1998.
Nonetheless, she was among B-grade actors till her breakthrough in Iron Man 2008 as Pepper Pots, Tony Stark’s assistant. Her resurgence was extraordinary when fans began to recreate the look for Halloween and she became the talk of the town.
Then onwards she starred in Contagion, The Avengers series, Iron Man 3, and many more. Today Gweneth Paltrow is a big name and we owe it to her hard work.
Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe, today aged 56 was once a name nobody knew. Believe it or not, he began his career in the media industry in 1964! Woah, that’s a long time ago. However, Gladiator 2000 was the feature film that got him the spotlight and the recognizable name every man spoke about.
Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman is infamous for his acting skills but he was among so many struggling actors before his breakthrough role in the X-men series.
Jackman became known outside Australia in 1998 when he received the Olivier Award for the best actor in a Musical. However, he secured his name on the map in 2000 as the mutant wolverine we all love. Undoubtedly, Jackman’s stunning on-screen presence and performance led him to numerous important movie roles afterward.
Did you know Hugh Jackman was offered the role for James Bond before Daniel Craig eventually played it?
Margret Robbie
Margret Robbie is an Australian actress and producer. Interestingly, Robbie played a role in About Time (2013) alongside Rachel McAdams and the film received positive reviews. This for sure brought her under the spotlight.
However, her real breakthrough took place with Robert Scorsese’s film The Wolf of Wall Street. She aced various other important film roles and how can we forget her mesmerizing performance as Harley Quinn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson was the highest-paid actress from 2018 to 2019. Your favorite actor’s first appearance on the big screen was in 1996 in Manny and Lo. Additionally, she transitioned to adult roles in 2003 and became her generation’s most talented actor.
Indeed, her performance was met with high praise and she appeared as the Black Widow in 2010 for the MCU. Guess what? She dyed her hair red and took strength training classes to show Favreau that she was the ideal choice.
Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson’s incredible role as the perfect vampire in the Twilight series will probably go down in history for good reason. Interestingly, it not only gained him global recognition but also brought him under the spotlight among his fellow actors.
Afterward, Pattinson began securing independent feature films but lost his brand image along the way. Nonetheless, he is making a comeback with his role as Batman in the DC films and the fans simply can’t wait to see it in 2022.
Chris Pratt
Today, Chris Pratt is one of Hollywood’s most cherished actors with numerous blockbuster films under his belt. However, it wasn’t so long ago when he was seen in TV series and nobody truly knew him.
However, Guardians of the Galaxy was his breakthrough when he played Peter Quill and became super popular.
Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender is one of those actors that shine in every role even if the movie’s budget is low and isn’t a blockbuster success. However, his big breakthrough owes to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds from 2009. After that, when he joined X-Men: First Class, Michael Fassbender was a name everyone knew about.
After joining the franchise, his career took a boost and his filmography became a success. His performance in 12 years a slave, Macbeth, and many more made box office hits and he became an A-lister actor then onwards.
Anya Taylor Joy

The youngest in our list, Anya Taylor Joy, today 24 years old is now listed as the top actors in Hollywood because of her hard work and incomparable performance. Indeed, she is serious, her expressions are worth noting and her overall screen presence is awesome.
Believe it or not, Anya Taylor Joy has been performing in movies since 2014 when she dropped out of school and moved to New York City. Apparently, her first role was in a horror-comedy ‘Vampire Academy’ which was a so-so success. However, she came under the spotlight in The Witch.
Above all, she solidified her global brand image with the series The Queen’s Gambit when everybody wanted to look like her, talk like her, and also began taking chess lessons like her! This 7 episode series was a hit and a global success. Let’s see what Anya Taylor Joy has to bring to the table in the future.
Ryan Reynolds
This 44-year-old actor has struggled since 1991 to make his name stand out from the crowd. He played lead roles in various comedy feature films such as Just Friends, The Proposal, The Change-up, Definitely maybe, etc.
Nonetheless, he was always among the B list actors until he played the wise mercenary Deadpool in 2016 and became a box office success. Surprisingly, the movie broke records and was the highest-grossing X-Men films.
Curryflow is dedicating this article to an ageless style. I mean, what is it with some celebrities being ageless. Interestingly, they stay forever young, beautiful, and as happy as they were decades ago. On the other hand, the rest of us are bathing in youth serums, pulling out a white hair, and dyeing them to at least match our current age.
Do they owe it to their miraculous genes or it is the magic of the day (botox and photoshop) saving their image? Nonetheless, whatever they are having, I actually want some of it too.
Scroll down below to check out the top celebs from around the world who are truly Benjamin Button-ing really hard!
Hollywood
Here are you top favorite celebs from Hollywood who might have gained or dropped a few pounds but reveal that age is just a number and youth comes easy to them.
Tom Cruise
Again, is it possible to believe that Tom Cruise is 58 years old today? For all we know, Tom Cruise probably lives in a time machine. This dude gives me serious fitness goals.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston has to be my favorite Hollywood diva. Het ageless beauty gives me goals and I cannot believe that Friends (TV show) is as old as 2004. Time truly flies.
Liv Tyler
Liv Tyler, now 43 first played her breakthrough role in Stealing Beauty in 1996. However, her appearance in Ad Astra in 2019 looks exactly the same. Need inspiration? Follow Liv Tyler.
Demi Moore
Do you know Demi Moore just turned 58? Well, my mother is 58 and she doesn’t look like this! Where are all the grey hair and wrinkles? She actually looks like an enhanced, better version of herself. Right?
Alicia Silverstone
How much time do you think has passed between these two snaps? Maybe 5 or 10, right? Try guessing 22 and win the bet. I cannot believe how one picture was taken in the 1990s and the other not a year or two ago. And here I am looking 10 years different in pictures taken 2 days apart.
Paul Rudd
From rocking his look in 2000 when he did Gen- Y cops to still rocking the same look in 2020 at the age of 50. This American actor really knows how to stay youthful.
Elijah Wood
Uh.. did time just stop for him? Surprisingly, I cannot tell which picture was taken first. However, jokes apart, the picture on the left was taken in 2001 at the premiere of ‘Lord of the Rings’. Apparently, the picture on the right was taken 10 years after that.
Halle Berry
Wow. She still wears the same eye shadow and her lipstick shade hasn’t changed much either. That is one way to look the same. Had it for wrinkles or a different hairstyle, I would be able to easily tell that these pictures are many years apart.
Rihanna
Rihanna sold her first album in 2001 and it made her millions. This girl really shows us the ‘work it, own it’ look like none other!
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock joined Bollywood in the late 1980s. Interestingly, these pictures taken decades apart are easily believable that they are days apart. Just a new haircut and less blush on make all the difference there is.
Adam Levine
‘She will be loved’ released in 2004 and became our jam instantly. Moreover, Adam Levine is more famous for being a cool judge on ‘The Voice’ for 16 seasons straight. But can you tell that these pictures are 16 years apart? He is the same handsome hunk he was back in the day.
Bollywood
From dancing in meadows to jumping off the roofs to kill the villains, memories of our favorite B-town celebs are truly everlasting. Also, it is important to mention how some of them are still the same when it comes to energy levels, flexibility, and even their youthful looks.
Aamir Khan
Is he 56 or just 35? Aamir Khan has aged gracefully and it doesn’t show it on his face nor on his work. He is still the happy-go-lucky person we know who produces awesome, unique feature films that leave a vital impact on us. Tarey Zameen Pe and Secret Superstar are two that need the recognition they deserve.
Salman Khan
Salman Khan turns 55 years old but the image of him dancing shirtless to ‘O o Jane Jana’ from 1998 is still fresh. Above all, he is inspirational to all his global fans when it comes to maintaining his physique and charm.
Moreover, he often shares his workout details on his official social media account in case you feel like taking your exercise to the next level.
Shilpa Shetty
Botox and surgeries have really worked well in her favor. However, the reward for her physical fitness goes to no one but her. Shilpa Shetty is a mother of two beautiful babies and she brings all the mamas from the block to shame. She doesn’t look 45 at all!
Alok Nath
This daddy dearest has rocked the same look since the 1990s, hasn’t he? I cannot remember him in any other role than being the head of the family and he always looked the part. He still does. How amazing is that? Surprisingly, Alok Nath, the perfect man-dad was born looking older. That sums it up!
Simi Garewal
Best known for her ideal talk show with renowned celebs and she still looks as gorgeous as she did decades ago. Believe it or not, Simi Garewal turns 73 this year and has aged so gracefully that I think maybe she sold her soul for her everlasting youth like none other.
Rakhi Sawant
Well, this I have to owe to botox, surgeries, and everything else in between. Apparently, this Indian dancer is not only famous for her moves on the dance floor but also because of her ageless skin and youthful charm even at the age of 42.
Akshay Kumar
If we use Akshay Kumar as an example, 53 is the new 15 for sure! Seriously, how is he pushing past 50 so gracefully? Moreover, his karate moves are still on point and so are his humor and wit. Way to go Akshay.
Madhuri Dixit
One truth and one lie alert! Madhuri Dixit is turning 35 this year. (SPOILER ALERT) she just turned 53 and I cannot believe my eyes. She is the diva of the B-town and has appeared in more than 70 Bollywood feature films. How is she still so gorgeous?
Pakistani Celebrities- Lollywood
Adnan Siqidui
This model turned actor is still a heartthrob that all fans drool over when he comes on-screen. Surprisingly, Adnan Siddiqui turns 51 this year in October and he is as fresh as ever.
Zeba Bakhtiar
Zeba Bakhtiar made her first debut alongside Rishi Kapoor in 1991 in Bollywood and she still looks the same in my opinion. I mean, she will be 60 in 2 years and I think she has been sipping on collagen shakes all her life. Indeed, she is ageless, youthful, and as stunning as she was decades ago.
Shaan Shahid
I bet you didn’t know his real name is Armaghan Shahid. Apparently, Shaan’s career began in 1990 alongside Reema Khan in Bulandi. He has, since then worked in countless feature films, both in Urdu and Punjabi.
Above all, he has won so many awards for the Best Actor (Male) and still holds his charm. Fearless, fabulous and 49, Shaan Shahid awesomely maintains his appearance and image even today.
Humayun Saeed
For once, I believe Humayun Saeed looks like a younger and physically fitter version of himself at 49! Don’t you all agree? This scandal star has always been every female actor’s first choice and his on-screen charm is unmatched.
Main hoon Shahid Afridi, Bin Roye, Jawani Phir Nahi ani and Mere paas tum ho are just a few top hits he has under his belt. Indeed, we cannot wait to see what he has in store for us in the future.
Mahnoor Baloch
Again, if we use Mahnoor Baloch as a fitness example, 50 should be the new 20. Interestingly, her face suggests she hasn’t aged a day. I think she has secretly been bathing in the youth fountain to maintain what she has to showcase. Indeed it is truly inspiring and unbelievable.
Reema Khan
This is an important name our list cannot be complete without. Reema Khan also stepped into the media industry in the early 1990s. Since then, she has only paved her way to the top, reaching hearts of millions and still holding an irreplaceable spot.
The internet tells us that Reema Khan turns 49 this year, but she still looks 30. In my opinion, she is actually getting better with age. She has become graceful, mature and stunning. Maybe all those thumaks and weird jumps in movies finally paid off.
Aijaz Aslam
Aijaz Aslam has to be the maestro of youth because he looks exactly the same! Fresh as ever, Aijaz Aslam turns 50 this year and I have started believing that 50 is the new 20 for sure. Period!
Hadiqa Kiani
Another 46 year old dazzling diva doesn’t seem to own a single wrinkle. All I can witness is a few different haircuts, different makeup products and different clothes. Can you tell all these pictures are years apart? They all look they were taken for the same photo shoot in different attires.
The internet has allowed us to open the doors to find perfect doppelgangers for our favorite celebrities. Interestingly, you will come across uncanny resemblances and striking facial similarities. And then you will see real-life doppelgangers you won’t be able to take your eyes off from. Today, social media has taken the word ‘lookalike’ to a whole new level and fans simply cannot stop enjoying the fun.
Today’s revelation is not only eerie but is also hilarious. I am not sure who discovered it, but we have to give credit to our creative minds for this one.
Pakistan’s one of the most handsome and famous actors Fahad Mustafa has an uncanny resemblance with the Bollywood star Deepika Padukone. It is unbelievable, right? Let’s look at the stars in detail and then I will prove it to you with photographs!
Fahad Mustafa
Fahad Mustafa is also Fahad Salahuddin. Interestingly, he began his career in 2002 and paved his way to the top in the Pakistani media industry with hard work, dedication, and consistency.
Apparently, he starred in various drama series such as Umrao Jan Ada, Lahasil, and Tum jo Miley but he was first noticed in Sheeshay Ka Mahal. Later, he chose to dice into television production and created various notable drama series.
More importantly, today he hosts the renowned entertainment game show named ‘Jeeto Pakistan’. Moreover, his fans cannot get enough of him. He hosts impeccably and is extremely friendly and sweet with all his co-stars, helpers, and his audience.
He started hosting the game show in 2014 and is still rocking it.
Fahad Mustafa’s Awards
With an actor with so many amazing drama series under his belt, it becomes mandatory to award him for at least a few. Hence, Fahad Mustafa was nominated for many drama series such as Haal-e-dil, Mein Abdul Qadir Hoon and Load Wedding.
Nonetheless, he won the Best Film Actor for his feature film named Actor In Law. Secondly, he also won the Best Actor Award (critic’s choice) for Load Wedding.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone was born in 1986 in Denmark. Interestingly, being a daughter of a famous Badminton player, she also became a badminton enthusiast and trained daily for many hours. However, she felt it was not her cup of tea and jumped into modeling in 2004.
Apparently she gained the spotlight right away and starred in a TV commercial. Later, she walked on the runway for Lakme Fashion Week and instantly won the model of the year award. Consequently many offers started pouring in and she simply couldn’t refuse.
2006 was the year she debuted in feature films alongside Aishwarya Rai. However, you most probably remember her for her role in Om Shanti Om and we can all agree that she looked drop-dead gorgeous.
She also won various awards, struggled her way through film to film, married her co-star Ranveer Singh and is still working effortlessly to stay at the top of her game.
The unbelievable resemblance between the two
Well, now that you know both the celebrities, let me unload the bomb and reveal how they are both cut from the same cloth.
It all started with a Twitter tweet on February 28th 2021. Fatmid Ul Husnain posted it and all the celeb fans couldn’t stop agreeing with him. Trust me when I say, you won’t be able to unsee it!
Then came the Hilarious Face Swap
Wow! Now, this is truly something. If Fahad Mustafa and Deepika Padukon both had a sister, she would surely look like this digitally crafted beauty! Do you all agree?
I mentioned earlier how I will prove the resemblance with pictures and here they are. God has his ways to make us laugh every now and then but this uncanny resemblance is the highlight of my day.
Sorry to state but whenever I will watch Jeeto Pakistan, I will always imagine him as Deepika Padukone with a beard. As much as I hate saying this, my brain cannot simply rethink otherwise and for good reason. I simply cannot delete these images from my head. What’s the case with you?
