Soni to sue Pakistani actress Meera
Mahesh Bhutt’s wife Soni Razdan has decided to take legal action against the Pakistani actress. In a statemtent, Soni Razdan said, “Yes, I am meeting my lawyers to file a legal suit against Meera. This is not the first time Meera has tried to malign my husband. A few years ago she had made bizarre allegations against him in an Urdu daily in Pakistan.”
“I am very angry. You can’t say anything about anybody. Look at the work Mahesh is doing now. It goes far beyond the Meeras and slushy gossip. She needs to behave responsibly, and since she is not doing that, she needs to be taught a lesson,” added Razdan. While on the other hand, Meera said, “Why are they doing this to me? How can Mahesh be my boyfriend? I’m only 26. Please tell them not to file a suit.”
The actresses like Meera and Veena Malik should at least look up to Ali Zafar, Atif Ali and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who have gained popularity with their effort and honesty, not with such cheep publicity-gaining-tricks that are embarrassing the whole Pakistani nation.

We love pop savvy Pakistanis: Josh
Pakistanis are people that know their music and are mature listeners as compared to India who are mostly driven by Bollywood music, the band Josh told in an interview. The band members, Rupinder Magon and Qurram Hussain are in Pakistan to release their album ‘Beyond Kismat’ which is being sponsored by an international fast food chain. When asked why they choose Pakistan to release their album when they could have done so anywhere in the world, they replied that Pakistanis are addicted to good lyrics and rhythm. “They certainly know pop music and appreciate it to the maximum level. The people at the concerts know the lyrics to our songs,” they said.
It’s an honour for any musician when the audience is able to sing your song when you put the microphone in their direction. And we have gotten that response here which compelled us to release our album from here, said Rupinder. Their album would be released on May 30, worldwide, whereas a copy would be given for free at fast food outlets against a purchase of their product. The best thing about the people here in Pakistan is that they love music and don’t differentiate between nationalities. Their warm response has always compelled us to visit this place again.
