    Fiza Ali gives tough love to teen seeking relationship advice on live show

    Fiza Ali is known for being outspoken but did she recently cross lines with a girl who asked her for advice?

    During a live show, the television host got angry at a young caller who asked for love advice. This heated exchange is now trending on social media.
    The viral video shows a teenaged girl calling into Fiza’s show, sharing that she has feelings for a boy and asking for advice and a spiritual solution to win his love.

    The 18-year-old caller said that although she has strong feelings for the boy, he doesn’t show any interest in her.

    Fiza Ali, clearly frustrated, asked the girl her age and then lost her temper.

    Turning to the religious scholar on the show, she questioned the moral values of society and why such issues need to be discussed. The scholar responded that proper upbringing is crucial and parents must pay more attention.

    Fiza did not hold back, calling the girl shameless for bringing up such a topic on live television.

    “There should be a limit to shamelessness,” she said, adding that the girl’s parents should be embarrassed.

    After calming down, Fiza advised the girl to focus on her education and make her parents proud instead of getting into a relationship.
    She also emphasized the importance of being a good role model for younger siblings.

    The intense moment has sparked a conversation online, with people divided over Fiza’s reaction and the girl’s request for advice.

    How did therapy help Sonya Hussyn heal her bond with her father?

     
    Actress and model Sonya Hussyn has captivated audiences with her talent and beauty, but her journey to stardom was not without its challenges.
    During an interview with ‘Zarbardast’, Sonya Hussyn was asked by the host, Wasi Shah, “Any regrets in life?”
     
    Talking about her hard childhood and her strained relationship with her father, Sonya Hussyn said, “I didn’t realize the impact of my parents’ troubled marriage on my relationship with my dad until much later. Growing up, their problems affected my bond with him, and our relationship was always rocky. It wasn’t until I got into a relationship years later that my ex pointed out that I was seeking the protection and comfort that a girl typically finds in her father. It was a psychological phenomenon that I didn’t understand at the time, but it’s very common. I had to seek help to work through it.”
     
    “I decided to tell my father I loved him as an adult, and it was a really touching moment for both of us. He cried a lot, and I could see the depth of his feelings.” Hussyn added.
     
    Talking about her reconciliation with her father, Sonya said that since then, she has been trying to make up for lost time and strengthen the bond as much as possible. “Although my father isn’t very expressive, he shows his pride and support for me and my accomplishments in his own ways, and that means the world to me.”

  • Time for nation to stand against ‘digital terrorists’, says DG ISPR

    Time for nation to stand against ‘digital terrorists’, says DG ISPR

    Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) addressed a press conference today, stating that the entire nation needs to stand up against “digital terrorists.”

    “Digital terrorism is being carried out on social media. The army is standing up against terrorists and digital terrorists. The time has come for the entire nation to stand up against them,” he stated.

    He underscored that critical national issues were being politicized in the country, referring to Azm-e-Istehkam as an example.

    “Azm-e-Istehkam is a comprehensive and integrated counter-terrorism campaign, not a military operation per se as it is being presented,” the DG ISPR said during a press conference in Rawalpindi.

    He further said, “Azm-e-Istehkam is not a military operation. Why is Azm-e-Istehkam being made controversial? There’s a strong lobby which wants the objectives of Azm-e-Istehkam not to be fulfilled. It is being politicized.”

    Meanwhile, the military spokesman also dismissed rumours that the establishment had no role in the recent Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP) protest: “There’s so much fake news that people keep saying whatever they want to. Since the protesters cleared the area peacefully, it was being claimed that there’s ‘someone’s hand’ behind it.”

  • Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi’s seven day physical remand approved in new Toshakhana case

    Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi’s seven day physical remand approved in new Toshakhana case

    An accountability court has approved a seven-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi, in the newly filed Toshakhana reference.

    Previously, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had sought a fourteen-day remand; however, the court turned down this request while ordering NAB to produce them in court on July 29.

    Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been imprisoned for almost a year now in many cases, including the cipher, Toshakhana, and Iddat cases.

    However, a court suspended his sentence in the Toshakhana case, while other courts overturned his convictions in the cipher and iddat cases, respectively.

    Chances grew that Khan would be out of jail but all hopes dwindled when NAB charged him and his wife on fresh charges related to the sale of state gifts.
