this interviewer needs to learn how to interview. The guests are great, the conversations are insightful and interesting, but its hard to truly listen to the guest without constant interruptions. This is a great podcast and im a huge supporter, but for the sake of constructive criticism and honest feedback I really think it should be the guest talking more than the interviewer, and that too with no interruptions!

[@nasreenshaikh6071]

Most of the pakistani interviewers are like that. For example Rabia, Tabish etc…

[@FaizanAli-lv6tw]

I learn so much from yashma about mental health whenever i listen to her❤

[@humayunmaqbool3334]

For the first time in history of her public apprentices yashma Looka good wearing good makeup and hairdo and clothes

[@qudsiaehtram6834]

can't agree more

[@DubaiiDiaries]

Yashma has cleared out the lines on heart break and depression so well, really learned alot from this Podcast, really amazing ❤

[@pakistanibrownwomanvloginu1576]

Beautiful interview and thanks for choosing your guest who add value in life with their conversation. Otherwise you are Fariha, who you cannot invite otherwise. ❤

[@FaizanAli-lv6tw]

Yashma is a very underrated actress, I want to see her in lead role with my fav Wahaj❤

[@RH-tb7le]

I always looking forward to Frieha’s interviews. Great conversations with Yashma! Yashma is very well spoken and has such an interesting personal life! Learned a lot about her in this interview! I agree with a lot of the other comments that some constructive criticism needs to be put out there. Frieha unknowingly makes a lot of noises/interruptions when her guests are speaking. The hmmms and yeahs or achchas after every sentence are very distracting. At some points I can hear yawns and sighs which are not caught on camera. A little work in this area would really elevate the quality of the interview.

[@sandcroft2924]

Only correcting it because lot of people follow you and listen to your podcasts, so they don't get confused. Its Scorpion not Scorpio, (Scorpio is a zodiac sign). xx 😊

[@reems4667]

I reached that part and came to the comments to see if someone cleared that. 😅

[@farwakhan4736]

witty she is, it was interesting to listen to her.

[@AF-ho6nh]

I wonder why so many Pakistani actresses suffer with depression/anxiety. Mahira Khan, Zara Noor Abbas, Hania Amir, Yashma Gill, Maya Ali and Saheefa Jabbar have all spoken about it in interviews

[@muhammadanskhan9425]

Love your podcast Fraiha 😇

[@rown54211]

This woman should stop making podcasts ffs, not everything is for everyone. Guest is so smart and bubbly. Shes ruining the vibe with her constant interruption and irrelevant voice

[@FaizanAli-lv6tw]

Very intelligent and smart girl❤

[@mishaalzk6033]

That conservative brother is crying somewhere seeing how she dresses now😂

[@homnaaziz9572]

Good talk about mental health and how we should not suppress emotions

[@ammararafiq924]

Mam sadaf kanwal ka interview lain

FOR Yashma I'm one of those super 'burger' kids from Karachi. A fruity feminine guy - which is why a lot of what I'm about to say is off brand for me because I'm the number 1 woman supporter - but then the ending is actually quite on brand for me lol. I actually never had an interest in our own industry and our own celebrities because well - 'burger'. I always thought our celebrities were just pretty faces and that there was no intelligence or substance there. I also thought that the content was probably backward and stupid. To be fair I only ever saw a few minutes of Humsafar and got bored of the whole 'cannot make eye contact or speak up' girl and 'cold' male character. I think the only impressive show I ever watched at the time was Churails. Further I had these preconceived notions about Pakistani celebrities which weren't really even my own but just influenced by Aunty gossip and their 'haw haye'. You know - the typical mentality that everyone in the industry is some cheap cunning woman who turned to entertainment because it's an 'easy' way out or for fame. I always felt like celebrities and specifically women are so dehumanized. Their entire worth and character is judged based on their outfit and amount of makeup. I mean this mentality is the reality and I don't think I'm saying anything crazy or anything that we don't already know. My point for writing this is that while all of the above might be true to some extent and for some people - it's just a generalization. Yes there are messy drug addicts and wife beaters and what not but there are also some very intelligent people there too. Like in any other industry. I realize now that my generalization was wrong. And as far as women in the industry are concerned - that's a way deeper conversation about misogyny in our country. I will never understand how sleeveless and confident immediately equates to cunning 'druggie' homewrecker. I mean that's just the mentality of the country we live in I guess - but to build on that, I've actually realized that there are so many good people in our country and so much emotional maturity that gets overshadowed by the negativity. Growing up privileged I always thought peoples tolerance and emotional intelligence was influenced by their class and wealth. That is somewhat true because class and wealth enable you to receive a good education. However I realize that there are some incredible people who manage that level of intelligence and understanding even without the fancy resources - and that makes me so happy. This is really long and I've got a lot of thoughts I'm trying to convey but I'll wrap it up now. It's just really heartwarming to see that there are in fact people with substance in our industry - and I know a lot of it is good PR but I know a lot of it is sincere. If you're reading this lol - I really like your personality Yahsma - and it makes me happy to know that there are people like you in the industry. Also love your character in Habil and Qabil. Never thought I'd watch a Pakistani drama let alone so many of them - but international student homesickness brought me here lol. I know our country is majorly fucked and it's really difficult to stay positive and make sense of the 234732 different opinions and what not - so it's nice to see what I believe to be sincerity and emotional intelligence. So yeah that's been my journey with deconstructing Aunty talk. I know there's a lot of gross bad stuff but it's nice to see the positive stuff too which I genuinely never really see - we're literally a country full of haters. I just wish we could be kinder to each other - but like I said there's 234732 different opinions on how people should live their lives and 0 tolerance - so there's that. A lot of what you said in this podcast genuinely inspired me and I'm not even halfway through. And yeah I'm just sending lots of love and appreciation - in a totally non creepy way lmao. Low key embarrassed that I wrote this long essay - but I'm genuinely so happy to see a smart person in mainstream media - which I now know there are many.

Bad host..

[@user-bbcsjkjfxjk]

2 saal abroad gai parhne lekin accent agya. Karachi ki chapri hai ye fake aunty

[@Khwaab]

May I ask you what accent you are hearing? As someone born abroad, all I can hear is a wholly Pakistani accent. I see a lot of Pakistanis claiming that the actors have a certain accent, but NONE of them speak like a native English speaker, so I´m curious what it is you´re hearing.
