    Yashma Gill defends game nights, exercise in Ramzan, urges personal worship
    During Ramzan, the trend of game nights became increasingly popular among celebrities. Some engaged in physical sports such as badminton and tennis, while others played board games before Sehri.

    This trend gained momentum rapidly, with game nights being organised at what seemed to be, a regular basis.
    Actor Yashma Gill attended these game nights and even hosted one during the Ramzan. After she was criticised for being a part of these events, Yashma has now responded to comments.

    Gill said, “During Ramzan, we stay up until Sehri and also engage in worship, so game nights are a good idea. Physical activity is important for health. People who criticize us should focus on their own worship instead of commenting on our activities. We also engage in worship, but along with that, there’s a bit of physical activity. We have more time, so we adjust our shooting schedules accordingly.”

    Assailants reveal sinister motive of firing at Salman Khan’s home

    The Mumbai Police has finished their interrogation of the people who shot at Bollywood star Salman Khan’s house.

    According to reports from Indian media, the two gunmen who fired at Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai’s Bandra area were caught in Bhoj, Gujarat. Both of them are from Bihar area in Gujarat state.

    Unit 9 of India’s Crime Branch completed the investigation and gave the report to the local court, revealing that the gunmen wanted to kill the Bollywood superstar. After opening fire, they threw their guns into the Surat river.

    Now, the police want the court to keep the two suspects for 14 days to find out who planned the attack. Earlier, the suspects were already with the police for nine days.

    The police told the media the suspects didn’t want to hurt Salman Khan or his family, but to scare people.

  • Three billion rupees ka scam: Taylor Swift fans looted with fake tickets to concert

    Three billion rupees ka scam: Taylor Swift fans looted with fake tickets to concert

    As Taylor Swift’s UK tour approaches, fans are being warned about scams that have already cheated thousands of people out of more than £1 million or more than three billion rupees.
    Lloyds Bank says about 3,000 fans have been tricked since July, losing an average of £332 each, with some losing over £1,000.
    Most of the scams happen on Facebook, where more than 90 percent of cases come from fake ads or posts. It’s not just Swift fans getting targeted; scams for other artists like Beyonce, Coldplay, and Harry Styles have gone up too.

    Unofficial Facebook groups are part of the problem. They’re popping up to buy and sell tickets, with many listings on Facebook Marketplace. Scammers promise cheap or sold-out tickets, then disappear once they get the money through bank transfers.

    To stay safe, Lloyds Bank says only buy from trusted places. If possible, use debit or credit cards for more protection.
    As Swift’s tour gets closer, fans need to be careful and listen to warnings to avoiding getting scammed out of their concert experience.

  • ‘Not happening now, just relax’; Yasir Hussain ends pregnancy rumors

    ‘Not happening now, just relax’; Yasir Hussain ends pregnancy rumors

    With all the talk online about celebrities, Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz became the center of rumors with speculation about them expecting another baby. It got really crazy on social media, especially after Yasir said something intriguing on a show with Nadia Khan.
    In the interview, when asked about having another child, Yasir replied, “Second baby Insha Allah jald karenge hum”. Some fans thought this meant they were announcing a pregnancy.
    But Yasir was quick to clarify what he meant.

    He said, “Not happening now, just relax.” So, take a chill pill guys! “It’ll happen when it’ll happen.”
    The clarification came because there were lots of rumors going around. Even though Yasir talked about having another baby on the show, he made it clear they didn’t have specific plans yet. He just said ‘soon,’ not that they’re expecting a baby right now.

    Yasir’s response to the situation shows how important it is to communicate clearly to stop false rumors. It also reminds media to be careful before sharing news that isn’t confirmed. Wrong information can really hurt celebrities’ lives and work.

  • TIME magazine finally recognises Motaz Azaiza in top 100 influential figure list

    TIME magazine finally recognises Motaz Azaiza in top 100 influential figure list

    ‘TIME Magazine’ just released its yearly list of the top 100 most influential people worldwide, highlighting the individuals who’ve made big impacts on the global arena. One standout this year is Motaz Azaiza, famous for being one of the brave journalists exposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

    Motaz, a photo journalist from Gaza, got onto the TIME100 list after gathering a worldwide following who watched the genocide unfold through his camera lens.

    TIME described Motaz as the “World’s eyes and ears in his native Gaza”. The description continued to read, “Armed with a camera and a flak jacket marked ‘PRESS,’ the 25-year-old Palestinian photographer spent nearly four months documenting life under Israeli bombardment: families displaced from homes, women mourning loved ones, a man trapped beneath the rubble. His pictures showed what life is like in Gaza, which most international reporters can’t see because they’re not allowed in there. But doing this was dangerous. Since October 7, at least 95 journalists have been killed in Gaza. This is the deadliest time for journalists since 1992. Many more have been hurt or arrested. Motaz left Gaza in January. Now, he works to tell people about the crisis and asks for help from other countries.”

  • Ali Rehman thinks being compared to THIS Hollywood heartthrob is a compliment

    Ali Rehman thinks being compared to THIS Hollywood heartthrob is a compliment

    In a recent interview with Independent Urdu, Pakistani actor Ali Rehman Khan expressed his surprise and admiration after being compared to a Hollywood heartthrob for the first time.

    Ali Rehman, known for his role in ‘Bebasi,’ was pleasantly surprised and flattered when he was compared to Ryan Gosling. He praised Gosling’s ability to handle serious roles and excel in comedy. “It’s a big compliment to be compared to him. He’s a very big actor,” Ali said.
    “Personally, I have never felt a resemblance… He is one of my favorite actors because I think that Ryan Gosling does serious roles with finesse but his comedic timing, too, is extraordinary. His film ‘Bad Guys’ is one of my favorites. His performance in it is just amazing,” he added.

    Talking about his life, Ali, originally from Islamabad but now living in Karachi since six years, described Karachi as a busy metropolitan city compared to the more laid-back Islamabad. “Karachi is a bustling metropolitan city where day and night merge into one. In Islamabad, you feel the difference between day and night very strongly,” he explained.

    Ali loves Karachi, highlighting its dynamic atmosphere and delicious food, especially the famous dishes of Burns Road. “I love the food on Burns Road. As actors, we can’t eat a lot because we have to watch our diets, but you can find great food anywhere in Karachi,” he said.

    Looking ahead, Ali said he wants to work with leading actresses of Pakistani cinema like Mahira Khan, Sanam Saeed, and Sajal Ali, praising their talent and the potential for diverse opportunities such collaborations could bring.
