The entertainment industry is always up to something; whether big or small, the creative minds in the industry are always churning new ideas. The Pakistani cinema though might be in its infancy, but the filmmakers and actors are constantly trying to be the first ones to bring forth promising projects and last week witnessed a lot of firsts (including PSL).
Here are a few noteworthy achievements:
1) Fawad Khan’s first collaboration with PSLÂ

After a hiatus of almost 9 years from singing as a frontman, (the singer sang Pepsi Battle of the Bands introductory and finale song) Fawad Khan re-routed from rock music and sung the pop anthem of Pakistan Super League 2019, Khel Deewano Ka. Owing to the singer-turned-actor’s rockstar persona, the anthem received mixed reviews after its release. However, this was Fawad’s first collaboration with PSL (as a singer) and his long overdue live performance for an audience.
2) Mehwish Hayat’s first concert

Talking about firsts, we are not oblivious to the fact that Mehwish Hayat is not only a brilliant actor but a promising singer as well. After her Coke Studio debut, Mehwish has garnered appreciation for hr melodious voice. She recently sang the title track of her first web series Enaaya and now she had the chance to perform for a live audience for a brand’s promotional event. The Punjab Nahi Jaungi star’s first concert was a massive hit.
3) Nescafé Basement first all kids bandÂ

Season 5 of Nescafé Basement is taking the internet by storm for all the right reasons. If debuting a child singer or drummer wasn’t enough, the new episode features an all kids band; from vocals to drums, keyboards, tabla, dhol and more, the little musicians have won the hearts of listeners instantly. Recreating Fakhr-e-Alam’s Pyaar Diyan Gallan, the first all kids band of Pakistan is not only adorable but an immensely talented lot.
4) Iman Ali’s pre-wedding festivitiesÂ
