How Fawad Khan, Babar Azam, Aima Baig and more welcomed the new year

Live international interview, fireworks display, onstage surrounded by fans — this is how our celebs stepped into 2023.
01 Jan, 2023

It’s day one of the blank canvas of a new year ahead of us — welcome everybody. You’ve made it to 2023, congratulations. Here are some celebrity wishes to welcome you and celebrate this new beginning.

It’s officially that time of the year where we cross out the last digits in the date because it takes time to get used a new set of numbers. Your favourite celebrities are here to remind you that we have crossed the threshold, from 2022 to 2023. Here’s how Fawad Khan, Babar Azam, Aima Baig and many more embarked on the new year, taking their fans along with them.

Fawad Khan’s live CNN interview

Khan went live on CNN on New Year’s eve and looked back on two of his massive projects in 2022, The Legend of Maula Jatt and Ms Marvel. He talked about their significance in Pakistani cinema and their impact on the global audience.

Cherishing your big hits in the past year is a good way to wrap up the year with fond memories. Let’s venture on to bigger things!

Fahad Mustafa’s surprise guest

Did we see this one coming? Nope. Are complaining? Absolutely not. A fun way to wish fans is to pull out the big guns and Fahad Mustafa chose the big guns of the cricketing world, Azam. We love seeing our favourite celebs in one frame.

Aima Baig’s direct wish to fans onstage

Singers have a very cool connection with their fans where they get to see each other face-to-face and what better place to wish your fans a new year? For Baig, it seems like a ritual almost, this is how she moves to the new year.

Hira Mani and Mani’s dinner in the sky

Some say the beginning of the year sets the mood for the rest of the year. If that is the case, we, too, would like to spend it like Hira Mani and Mani’s family, having dinner in the sky. May their year be filled with more adventures.

Alia Bhatt’s cosy dinner party with loved ones

Surrounded by your near and dear ones is the way to do it. Simple but surrounded by love is how Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor decided to welcome 2023.

Syed Jibran ft. a firework display with his kids

Fireworks are a common way people choose to celebrate any milestone. Every year, the night sky lights up and glimmers with the display around the world and Syed Jibran managed to click a photo of his kids with the pretty backdrop.

Sanam Jung literally walking into 2023

A walk where you can feel the sun on your face is sure to bring a smile. Hand in hand with her little one, Sanum Jung is only chasing good vibes.

Kareena Kapoor and the last sunset of 2022

A lovely way to see off the previous year is to sit down with it and watch it fade. Sunsets are magical, it’s pretty epic to bid the last one goodbye. That’s how Kareena Kapoor chose to do it.

Zara Tareen and some self connection

A little self reflection never hurt anybody. If it did, it helped you move on to better things and to a better you. Zara Tareen wants you to reach out to yourself because it’s a good time to sit and decide what paints you want to use on this blank canvas.

Happy New Year from team Images!

Sad that we do not ring in the Islamic new year with as much fanfare.

Fawad should have clarified that it was 'Independence' for Pakistan and not ' Partition'. It was also the most blessed historical event in history of mankind. Interacting with Indian union when Kashmiris in IOK are being brutalised is unacceptable. IOK freedom is paramount.
