‘Who is Katrina Kaif?’ asks Hira Mani to a fan as he compares the two

Actress Hira Mani gave a humorous reply to a fan who compared the two in terms of their appearance.

In the comments section of Hira’s picture, a devoted fan couldn’t distinguish if it was really Hira Mani or Bollywood superstar Katrina Kaif.

The fan asked, “Is this Katrina Kaif or Hira Mani?”

Obviously, this was an intentional attempt from the fan by comparing Hira with Katrina to grab her attention on his comment.

Hira’s answer was full of self-confidence and we enjoyed her words a lot.

Hira responded: “Bro Katrina Kaif ki bhi maa. Who is Katrina Kaif? Mujhy kehtey hain Hira Mani” (Bro I am mother of Katrina Kaif. Who is Katrina Kaif? People call me Hira Mani).

Hira is currently being seen in Yun Tu Hai Pyar Bohut on HUM TV.

Ghotki train accident: Azam Swati accepts responsibility

Minister of Railways Azam Khan Swati accepted responsibility for the Ghotki train accident on Monday.

“Being a top official (minister for railways), I take responsibility for this train accident. The other senior officials working under me also take responsibility,” Swati said when asked whether he would tender resignation from his ministry since the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), when in Opposition during the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, had sought the resignation of former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique over train accidents, reported Dawn.

Swati also held all those responsible who, in his words, were involved in corruption and did nothing for the improvement and betterment of railways during the last 25 to 30 years.

“This track is stuck like a bone in our throat. We can neither eat it nor throw it out. I admit that the safety of passengers at this track is compromised,” the minister admitted.

Meanwhile, Swati arrived at the crash site to oversee the rescue operations. Swati said if his resignation meant the deceased can come back to life, he was ready to do so. He assured that those found responsible in the Ghotki train crash will be punished.

Talking to Dawn, Swati defended the induction of new trains in the existing fleet, saying the move was the need of the hour to enhance railways’ revenue.

“Whether we launch new trains or not, we see ourselves at the losing end. There is also confusion whether to rehabilitate or replace this track with a new one,” he argued.

The Ghotki train accident took place after a track’s welding joint broke, causing the Millat Express train to crash onto a down track, says an initial investigation report into the crash, as reported by Geo News.

65 people were killed and over 100 injured during the wee hours of Monday when Sir Syed Express and the Millat Express collided in Pakistan’s Dharki town near the Mirpur Mathello Railway Station.

Police in London, Ontario, citing witnesses, said that 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman jumped the curb in his vehicle on Sunday, struck five members of the same family ranging in age from 9 to 74, and then drove off at high speed, Reuters has reported.

Police have not released the victims’ names, but the London Free Press said that among the dead were Syed Afzaal, 46, his wife, Madiha Salman, 44, and their 15-year-old daughter, Yumnah Afzaal. Syed Afzaal’s 74-year-old mother, whose name has not been confirmed, also died. Their 9-year-old son, Faez Afzaal, is in the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

As per media reports, the family immigrated from Pakistan about 14 years ago.

“We believe this was an intentional act and that the victims of this horrific incident were targeted,” Police Chief Steve Williams said. “We believe the victims were targeted because of their Islamic faith.”

“I’m horrified by the news from London, Ontario. To the loved ones of those who were terrorised by yesterday’s act of hatred, we are here for you. We are also here for the child who remains in hospital – our hearts go out to you, and you will be in our thoughts as you recover,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on Twitter.

“To the Muslim community in London and to Muslims across the country, know that we stand with you. Islamophobia has no place in any of our communities. This hate is insidious and despicable – and it must stop.”

Fawad Khan bullied Sheheryar Munawar during ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’ shoot?

Sheheryar Munawar has opened up about his struggles and shared some shocking revelations about his first play’s shoot Zindagi Gulzar Hai in a recent interview.

In conversation with Something Haute, Munawar said that his experience of working on the hit HUM TV drama was ‘terrible’. In fact, he thinks it’s his worst performance ever.

When he was asked about his bitter experience, the Parey Hut Luv star revealed that it was due to the absence of a mentor despite him being Sultana Siddiqui’s nephew.

Moreover, he also shared that there was nobody to teach him how to convey his lines or understand the character. Even his co-stars were of no help.

Speaking of Fawad Khan, the main lead of the drama, Sheheryar said he was tough on him and that made his overall experience more bitter.

“Fawad was straight out of Humsafar and I was just a newbie. The fact that I was the nephew of the director also contributed to it. He was tough on me. He wasn’t a bully like the ones we see on television, but he was hard on me.”

“That was a very tough one and a half month,” he added.

But they are on good terms now. He respects Fawad as a senior actor and he has also made his cameo in two of Sheheryar’s films.

He further said that the actors weren’t helpful either. Sheheryar was only a student when he was offered the role of Osama in Zindagi Gulzar Hai and didn’t know anything about the reel life.

‘By the grace of Almighty Allah, this is the first train accident of 2021’: Firdous

Special Assistant to Chief Minister of Punjab, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan made a shocking statement on the Ghotki Incident. She said: “By the grace of Almighty Allah, ever since the government came into power, this is the first train accident that happened in this year 2021″.

https://twitter.com/taimoorze/status/1401902200520118278?s=21

Firdous faced backlash from the public calling her statement ‘unbelievable’.

A woman reacted to the comments of Firdous, and wrote on Twitter, “What have we done to deserve this ?”

Allah mian, what have we done to deserve this #TrainAccident https://t.co/YOqwRNaQds

— Hina Khan (@cesthinakhan) June 7, 2021

Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan tweeted a clarification regarding her controversial statement. “This is the first major train accident in the last 15 months. One of my statements given in this regard is being taken out of context.”

گذشتہ کئی سالوں میں پے در پے پیش آنے والے ٹرین حادثات کی نسبت رواں برس اس نوعیت کے خوفناک حادثات میں نمایاں کمی آئی ہے۔ گذشتہ 15ماہ میں یہ پہلا بڑا ٹرین حادثہ ہے۔ اس تناظر میں دئیے گئے میرے ایک بیان کو سیاق و سباق سے ہٹ کر توڑ موڑ کر پیش کیا جارہا ہے۔

— Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan (@Dr_FirdousAwan) June 7, 2021

Two express trains collided on Monday in Sindh’s Ghotki and killed over 50 passengers, while more than 100 others have been injured, said police and rescue officials.

In the midst of the tragic incident of Ghotki, Firdous’ statement was thought to be inept and lacked empathy.

Good Morning, *|MERGE1|*. It’s June 7, time for some productivity!

I often watch movies on Sundays to lighten up my mood. But something unusual happened yesterday. I watched a Hong Kong movie, a romantic drama called ‘In the mood for love’ and Ahhhh! I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a love story about love itself and how it lingers in the minds of its subjects far longer than anyone relationship ever can. This has changed my whole perception about love.

I am still in ‘feels’, don’t know how I am going to work today. Does this happen to you as well? ?

It’s going to be a sunny day but it might rain in Karachi.

The Current Op-Ed: Osaka deserves support, not backlash

Recently, tennis star Naomi Osaka announced that she would not attend press conferences because of her anxiety and mental health struggles.

According to our Op-Ed writer Zahoor Reza, in an ideal world, board officials should have addressed Osaka’s concerns, done what they could do to help her in her bouts against anxiety. Instead, she was pilloried, fined 15 grand, and threatened with suspension following which, she announced to withdraw from the French Open.

This is so sad. I totally agree with him. Mental health and self-care should come ahead of everything else and its high time that people start taking this issue seriously.
