PESHAWAR, Sep 03 (APP):Noori Khan was one of the trusted and talented Pashto telefilms and TV drama artists and has not been associated with this field for a long time, but in this short period, Noori Khan’s credit shows a lot.
Talking to APP, Noori Khan said that she entered the world of showbiz five years ago.
There is no dearth of new talent, we have to work hard to convince ourselves that we have started reaping the fruits of our hard work very soon.
She started her career with director AK Khan’s Pashto telefilm. She said that only a good director can recognize the talent of an artist and present it on screen in a good way. One can become one who has a sensitive heart because one who can feel the pain of others is one who is able to portray a sincere character.
She said that she has also modelled on the songs of famous Pashto singers, which she feels proud of. The experience of modelling for commercials was interesting in the sense that the work was done in a short period of time, the remuneration is good and nowadays, because commercials are becoming good, they also get instant fame and popularity.
Noori Khan also showed interest in playing a central role in the film, but like most actors, she also said that she would work in the film. When the quality is good, the new artists come to this field with some plans in their minds.
She said about her choice in acting that it is not a serious acting choice but Maddy looks good to the point of watching. Regarding the environment of showbiz, she said that the number of artists is increasing day by day due to the high production.
Some begin to understand, while apart from all these things, I believe in work and meet with the most open heart, she added. Only Pashto films have supported the industry. If there were no Pashto films, the Pakistan film industry would not have existed at this time, she remarked. “I am currently working in Shahid Usman’s new Pashto film “Janaan”, This is my first film and I will try to do my best and attract the audience,” she concluded.

Heinous criminals held for killing three persons
KHANEWAL, Sep 03 (APP):In a remarkable breakthrough, Khanewal police have apprehended the prime suspect in a gruesome murder case involving a father and son, along with his co-conspirator, motivated by insatiable greed for cattle.
The shocking incident unfolded within the jurisdiction of the Talamba Police Station, Mian Channu.
The captured accused, who are now behind bars, not only confessed to their heinous act but also guided law enforcement in locating the murder weapon.
According to a police spokesman, the alleged perpetrators, Ghulam Shabbir and Fida Hussain Malang had cultivated a friendship with cattle dealers Badar Uddin and his son Altaf, residents of Shikarpur in Sindh.
Both Badar Uddin and Altaf hailed from a nomadic family and were known for their cattle-grazing activities in the region, often accompanied by their two young children.
In a shocking turn of events, the alleged outlaws callously took the lives of Badar Uddin and his son Altaf in their ruthless pursuit of valuable livestock. The criminals also relocated the victim’s family’s minor children to different locations before disposing of the bodies in a nearby canal.
Following these appalling murders, Ghulam Shabbir, along with his wife and son, committed yet another killing act – the murder of their friend and crime partner, Fida Hussain Malang. This sinister act was driven by a dispute over the uneven distribution of cattle.
Fortunately, the swift action of local law enforcement led to the recovery of Fida Hussain Malang’s body from Ghulam Shabbir’s residence.
Similarly, the dead body of Altaf was discovered within the jurisdiction of the Sadar Police Station in Mailsi. Regrettably, the body of Badar Uddin remains elusive, prompting intensified efforts by the police to locate and recover it.
This remarkable achievement by the police underscores their unwavering commitment to justice and the safety of their community.
The arrest of the prime suspect and his accomplices in this gruesome case sends a strong message that those who commit such heinous crimes will face the full force of the law.
