Dil Tanha Tanha star was invited to Mazaq Raat, hosted by Vasay Chaudhry. The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor asked Arez a bunch of questions in the show’s rapid fire segment.
“Tell me if you have to follow these women on Instagram, who will you follow openly, who will you follow secretly, and who will you block?” the host questioned. “I’ll openly follow Ayeza Khan on Instagram and secretly follow Alizeh Shah,” Arez remarked.
The host then asked him if he would block then Mehwish Hayat? “No, I don’t want to block anyone”, said the Uraan actor.
On the work front, Arez will be seen next in ARY’s Mere Apnay co-starring Hajra Yamin and Ali Abbas.

عارف نظامی صاحب کی رحلت کا سن کر دل بجھ گیا ہے، ان سے طویل تعلق تھا، تحریک پاکستان میں ان کے والد حمید نظامی اور میرے دادا چوہدری اویس اور تایا چوہدری الطاف حسین ہمسفر تھے اسی تعلق سے ان سے وہی تعلق رہا جو خاندان کے بزرگوں سے ہوتا ہے خدا غریق رحمت کرے pic.twitter.com/AnUJFpUflZ
Deeply shocked to learn that Arif Nizami is no more & with him an era of old school journalism has come to an end. As a journalist, editor & anchor, he was second to none. May Allah rest his soul in peace!

The daughter of a former diplomat was killed yesterday in the capital. According to details, the police said the victim was slaughtered after being shot. Another person was also injured in the incident, Dawn News has reported.
“A friend of the girl had been arrested over his alleged involvement in the murder,” police said, “the alleged killer is a son of leading businessman.”
“A man named Zahir Jaffer, who was allegedly involved in the murder, was arrested on the spot and taken to the police station,” the Islamabad police tweeted.
اسلام آباد سیکٹر 4/F-7 میں خاتون کے قتل کا معاملہ قتل کی اطلاع ملتےہی سینئر افسران نےموقع واردات پر پہنچ کر تحقیقات شروع کردیں۔ قتل میں ممکنہ طور پر ملوث ظاہر جعفر نامی شخص کو موقع واردات سے گرفتار کرکے تھانہ منتقل کردیاگیا۔ وقوعہ کا مقدمہ درج کیا جارہا ہے#IslamabadPolice
According to The Current’s sources, the alleged murderer, Zahir Jaffer was working in his family business and had been left alone in the city during the Eid holidays. A college dropout, Zahir’s friends have suggested that he was an active drug user.
People on social media are demanding justice by using the hashtag #JusticeForNoor, with her friends lamenting the death of a person who seems to be “one of kindest humans….compassionate, smiling, offering her little unique gestures of kindness”.
Please don’t use the term ‘crime of passion’. It minimises the nature of the crime & makes it seem like ‘passion’ (particularly of a scorned man) is a valid reason to commit murder. Simply call it a ‘crime’ or ‘murder’. That is what it is. #JusticeForNoor
Beheaded. Right in the heart of the capital. Zahir Jaffer is the murderer. Influential. Elitist. Businessman. @ImranKhanPTI make sure he is punished. He deserves the worst our justice system can give. Torture him to his end. Make sure he gets what he deserves. #JusticeForNoor
I remember Noor as one of the sweetest, kindest and most soft-spoken people that I ever came across in school. Shocked and utterly heartbroken. May Allah bless her soul and may that animal who brutally took her life rot in the deepest pits of hell. #JusticeForNoor

The Tokyo 2020 chief Toshiro Muto did not rule out the cancellation of Olympic Games.
As per details, the chief of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee on Tuesday did not rule out a last-minute cancellation of the Olympics, as more athletes tested positive for Covid-19 and major sponsors ditched plans to attend Friday’s opening ceremony.
Asked at a news conference if the global sporting showpiece might still be cancelled, Muto said he would keep an eye on infection numbers and liaise with other organisers if necessary.
“We can’t predict what will happen with the number of coronavirus cases. So we will continue discussions if there is a spike in cases,” said Muto.
“We have agreed that based on the coronavirus situation, we will convene five-party talks again. At this point, the coronavirus cases may rise or fall, so we will think about what we should do when the situation arises.” Covid-19 cases are rising in Tokyo and the Games, postponed last year because of the pandemic, will be held without spectators. Japan this month decided that participants would compete in empty venues to minimise health risks.
There have been 67 cases of Covid-19 infections in Japan among those accredited for the Games since July 1, when many athletes and officials started arriving, organisers said on Tuesday.
Japan, whose vaccination programme has lagged behind that of most other developed nations, has recorded more than 840,000 cases and 15,055 deaths and Games host city Tokyo is experiencing a fresh surge, with 1,387 cases recorded on Tuesday.
Muto, a former top financial bureaucrat with close ties to Japan’s ruling party, is known for his careful choice of words, while officials are facing a domestic public angry about coronavirus restrictions and concerned over a possible spike in cases triggered by Games attendees arriving from abroad.
Organisers, for whom International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach said cancelling the event had never been an option, have promised to keep the Games “safe and secure”.
But experts see gaps in an Olympic “bubble” that mandates frequent testing and has been designed to limit participants’ movements.
Seiko Hashimoto, who sits alongside Muto as organising committee President, said that safety measures introduced to reassure the Japanese public had not necessarily done so, and that she was aware that popular support for the Games had dropped.
“I really want to apologise from my heart for the accumulation of frustrations and concerns that the public has been feeling towards the Olympics,” Hashimoto told the same news conference.
‘Unprecedented challenges’
The first major test of how an Olympics can be held in the midst of a pandemic may well come in the men’s soccer tournament, when Japan face a South Africa side that could struggle to field 11 players due to the coronavirus. That match is due to take place on Thursday, a day before an opening ceremony that top sponsor Panasonic as well as Fujitsu and NEC Corp will skip. Toyota Motor dropped all TV ads linked to the Games on Monday.
Bach, who Kyodo news agency said would meet Japan’s Emperor Naruhito on Thursday, said on Tuesday organisers could never have imagined the “unprecedented challenges” of bringing the global event to Tokyo, praising the “heroic efforts” of medical personnel and volunteers around the world amid the pandemic. Two members of Mexico’s Olympic baseball team tested positive for Covid-19 at the team hotel before their departure for Tokyo, the country’s baseball federation said on Tuesday.
The athletes, Hector Velazquez and Sammy Solis, who tested positive on July 18, have been isolated, as have all team members pending results of more tests, it said. Kenji Shibuya, former director of the Institute for Population Health at King’s College London, said that the organisers’ bubble system was already “kind of broken”. “My biggest concern is, of course, there will be a cluster of infections in the (athletes’) village or some of the accommodation and interaction with local people,” he added.
Organising committee President Hashimoto said members of the public were concerned “because they feel that the current situation appears to show that the playbooks that were meant to guarantee security is not providing a sense of safety.”
In a poll in the Asahi newspaper, 68 per cent of respondents expressed doubt about the ability of Olympic organisers to control coronavirus infections, with 55 per cent saying they were opposed to the Games going ahead.
The first feature poster and teaser of Rafta Rafta featuring Atif Aslam and Sajal Aly was released earlier this month, set against the picturesque backdrop of the night sky in Skardu, the visuals show Atif and Sajal romancing each other on a camping trip, hinting at oodles of romance and chemistry.
The Yeh Dil Mera star posted one of her looks from the much awaited song, donning a red dress. Dhadak fame Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor showered the comment section with red hearts, flaunting her fondness for the glam look of Sajal.
Punjabi superstar Sonam Bajwa also commented under the post expressing her appreciation.
Do Bol diva Hira Mani also praised this look of hers.
While Atif has previously worked with some incredible artists, this is the first time the Mom actress is sharing the screen with him.
On the work front, Sajal is currently shooting for Amin Iqbal’s Ishq-e-Laa opposite Azaan Sami Khan and Yumna Zaidi.
