IT RUNS IN THE
FAMILY Sarfraz With
Niazi and Sarah Sarfraz
Sarfraz Niazi and Sarah Sarfraz is a happy couple who inspires one another and are devoted to their family. Sarfraz is a director/ Partner at Jbnjaws Productions and is also a creative director of ThinkEpic agency. Known for his incredible sense of humour, which is the core ingredient of Epic’s latest production, ‘The Epic Show’, being hosted by Sarfraz Niazi himself. On the other hand, Sarah is a homemaker but takes complete interest in her husband’s work. The couple’s marriage is an example of how a couple should live and travel together!
How and where did you both first meet? Sarfraz: Well we met formally, so it was at Sara’s place and our parents were thinking of an arranged marriage but we decided to take a more romantic turn and eventually tied the knot instead of going for an engagement and wasting money and to save my hair that was getting thinner. Sarah: My sister-in-law saw me while travelling by Daewoo and sent a formal proposal. That is how we first met each other. What did you like/ dislike about each other in your first meeting? Sarfraz: Disliked actually nothing, fortunately the food was cooked by my mother-in-law- just kidding, but in the first meeting I think it was the mutual click. Sarah: I fell for how focused and good looking he was back then. How long did it take to decide that he/she was the one you wanted to marry? Sarfraz: I agree, I took my time and she was there, like hanging in believing that I won’t be distracted. Actually when JANUARY 12-18 2020

my elder sister got married, for almost six years I was living with my parents and was used to my freedom, living in my space, no questions asked , being an event manager and then traveling all around the world with Ali Zafar, so life was a rollercoaster. But then I wanted to move on and was ready to be more responsible and own it, the decision to tie the knot was within days. Almost 10 years now MA. Sarah: Quite long actually as Sarfraz wasn’t ready to come out of his bachelor mode that easily, I guess around a year. n How do you demonstrate your love in different ways? Sarfraz: Always blamed for not being expressive, which is true to an extent, I am the one who is not very vocal about our relationship on social media, or taking flowers home, or putting up statuses etc, however my way of love is being extra thoughtful, planning trips, big pleasant surprises, unexpected gifts, making sure giving ample time to family. Sarah: I like to demonstrate my love on a daily basis doing small gestures for him where as his idea of love is showing care in more substantial ways. What frustrates you most about your partner? Sarfraz: The fact that after almost 10 years she still expects (like almost everyday) to be extremely expressive and romantic. I guess I am romantic after all don’t forget I am Gemini. Sarah: The fact that he isn’t expressive or romantic at all. Who makes up first if you have a fight or argument? Sarfraz: Blessed that it’s rare that we fight, most of the time the heated words are exchanged over kids issues, otherwise I am a peace loving soul, but on a serious note we both believe in individual space, and respect that, also this is true that Sarah is the one who makes up first, she cuddles.. I guess she finds me very cute. Sarah: We hardly fight though MashAllah but if we do, I guess I am the one who makes up first. One thing you love about each other? Sarfraz: We do understand that we are two different individuals, souls who have/had their own life, friends, likes/ dislikes etc, hence we respect the space to breath, avoid

suffocation, support and empowering each other, Together we have a beautiful relationship, I guess she values me as a husband and a father, and I value her as a wife and a mother and as a couple we are making a sincere effort in doing justice in keeping a balance in all relationships... all this requires a lot of patience also btw. Sarah: The fact that we both have given each other the personal space that we require. Something you would want to change about your partner partner? Sarfraz: Change is the only constant thing in life, but I am happy and content with the way she is, I am not a very demanding person. Sarah: I wish he’d be more expressive and vocal in our relationship. Something you two have in common? Sarfraz: We are very blessed to have our own good friends, mine are like brothers, common I would say food, watching films, music, spending quality time with our kids, and yes travelling. By nature we are both composed and not very hyper. Sarah: The love for food and travelling. Who keeps the room the tidiest? Sarfraz: Although I feel I do but this is not a scoring game and history will prove that I surrendered.. She does. S Sarah: My husband thinks he does, whereas I disagree. Your best memory together so far? Sarfraz: We are fortunate to travel a lot and that means a lot of memories to cherish, but nothing when compared to the birth of our kids. Also when we performed Umrah back in 2016 is the best spiritual memory so far. Sarah: I think the birth of our first daughter Khadija. Your greatest strength as a couple? Sarfraz: I think we respect each other’s wishes. And uphold the trust especially in the absence. Plus we are forgiving. Sarah: Mutual respect. Describe your relationship in three words? Sarfraz: Blessed, bilss and happy! Sarah: Trust, blessed, and beautiful.

Bahnhofstrasse What says Switzerland if not its lavish brands? If you’re willing to invest in some magnificent, quality items make it to Bahnhofstrasse Zürich’s main downtown street and perhaps one of the world’s most prestigious shopping boulevards. This bustling avenue is home to some of the famous fashion houses and renowned banks. A unique blend of art and culture, no trip to Switzerland is complete without paying a visit here. Many visitors indulge in the finest Swiss chocolate on Bahnhofstrasse and some premier restaurants nearby. A stroll is a pretty convenient option to explore the entire boulevard owing to Zürich’s walkable and pedestrian-friendly culture. Lindenhof Hill For stunning, panoramic views look nowhere besides Lindenhof Hill. Adjacent to Limmat River, this serene spot is easily accessible from Zürich’s main train station, Grossmünster Church and Weinplatz, offering a bird’s eye view of the city. A melting pot for chess players, tourists as well as locals flock in great numbers to unwind, walk and relax on this hilltop that also includes prehistoric, Roman and medieval remains. Some theories even suggest the area is a moraine hill - which means it was once a glacier! The views, especially during sunset, are spectacular from Lindenhof. Lake Zürich On the outskirts of Zürich lies the breathtaking, tranquil lake fed by the pure, glacial waters. Lake Zürich offers a perfect retreat to nature and much needed getaway from the mundane, chaotic life. Although it passes through the centre with its tributary better known as the Limmat, this Alpine lake offers plenty of swimming spots and hiking options, making it a must see. And since Switzerland is reputable for its nonchalant beauty, the lake offers some incredible views with the Alps in the backdrop. Tourists also prefer taking a tour of the lake through the many cruises available. The lake is approximately 20-25 minutes away from the centre with train being the fastest option to travel with. Grossmünster Make it to Grossmünster to familiarise yourselves with Zürich’s glorious past. This Romanesque church and its two twin towers are the real charm of the city with centuries of history dominating the Swiss skyline. Located in the old town, Grossmünster holds a lot of significance in Protestant Christianity that existed in Switzerland during the 16th century. Along with Fraumunster, Predigerkirche, and St. Peterskirche, it is one of the oldest and largest churches in Zürich. The heritage building gives visitors a glimpse into the medieval history with some original frescoes and battle scenes still vividly inscripted inside. Zürich’s many trams make the church easily accessible from other parts of the city. Switzerland is a pleasant experience, soulful and luxurious to say the least. A destination everybody dreams of visiting at least once in a lifetime. Zürich can be your perfect gateway to explore wonders in the rest of the country.

Ayesha Omar has been through harassment, not yet ready to talk Popular actor and presenter, Ayesha Omer recently opened up about being a victim of sexual harassment while discussing the MeToo movement in an interview with Ahsan Khan. The television personality started off by talking about how important the movement is altogether and how it has empowered victims. The actor went onto say that the movement is brave because of its people, although it may also be exploited but that does not make the movement harmful. The star then ended up revealing that she too has been harassed and is not brave enough to open up about it yet, but someday she might. “I have been through harassment in my career and life, so I understand how it feels. I don’t have the courage to talk about it yet, maybe someday I will. But I can totally relate with everyone who has been through it.”
Mehwish Hayat shuts down Aamir Liaqat over sexist comments “Can’t believe that just 72 hours into 2020 & the world is already teetering on the edge of war,” Mehwish Hayat tweeted after a US airstrike killed Iranian leader Qasem Soleimani in what is potentially the most harsh order from Trump in Middle East. “Tamgha-e-Imtiaz ka matlab ye nahi ke item girl imtiazi bayanat den. (Getting a Tamgha-e-Imtiaz doesn’t mean that an item girl is fit to make distinctive remarks.),” Aamir Liaqat tweeted. And of course Hayat had an epic response. This “item girl” is exercising her democratic right to have an opinion whereas you keep stooping to making personal jibes and nothing more. Man up! BTW whatever happened to the case you were filing against me for Load Wedding? I have been waiting with bated breath ...
