  • ‘Mufti Qavi secretly monitors actresses,’ alleges Veena Malik

    ‘Mufti Qavi secretly monitors actresses,’ alleges Veena Malik

    Actress Veena Malik’s long standing feud with religious cleric Mufti Qavi has shifted into the fifth gear with the actress’ allegation that he secretly monitors actresses.

    “Mufti Qavi secretly monitors all the actresses. He knows everything about everyone,” Veena said on Hafiz Ahmed podcast.

    Malik then said that the controversial cleric once told her, “You possess beauty and charm.”

    She also talked about other matters including participation in Bigg Boss, and failed marriage.

    She said, “In the past, I enjoyed working on the Indian reality show Bigg Boss, but I never understood why people still criticize me for it. I even received threats after the show. Before becoming a part of the show, there is a written contract, that clearly states that there will be 56 cameras inside and 56 cameras outside the house at all times. It is their choice what to show and what not to show.”

    Answering the podcast host’s question about Mufti Qavi, she said, “Mufti Qavi secretly watches all the actresses and all their shows. He once told me, ‘You have beauty too.’ So, I asked him, ‘How do you know that I have beauty and charm?’”

    “The way I was shown in Bigg Boss, how did Mufti Qavi know all that? That was the question I asked him then, upon which he got angry.”

    She also said, “If honor and humiliation are in the hands of a human being, they will not take a minute to ruin your life, I don’t understand how people can be so hard-hearted.”

    Mufti Qavi once criticized her in the past and said, “Veena Malik can watch Bigg Boss with her children?”

    She replied, “My children are well aware of my work and they can see everything with me.”

    Earlier, Rumours are circulating on social media about actress Veena Malik’s marriage once again, following her teasing of fans and the public with hints about the mystery man in her life.

    When Geo Digital had a special conversation with her regarding this matter, she said, “This important change in life has been kept in front of everyone. When I finalise the date of the wedding, I will tell everyone. I will even reveal the groom’s face.”

    She laughed and added, “Those who are eager to see Shehryar Chaudhry’s face will get their wish fulfilled on the wedding day.”

    Remembering the past, Veena shared, “I started my career at a very young age and then decided to get married soon.”

    “Shehryar liked me but kept it to himself. On the other hand, I was busy with my career and life. During that time, I also studied for six years and completed my B.Sc and Masters, but I had no intention of getting married or settling down. It all happened very suddenly, and believe me, I am happy to feel all these emotions now. As for the children, they are more understanding now,” she explained.

    Veena Malik married businessman Asad Bashir Khattak in Dubai in 2013, and they have two children. However, the marriage ended after three years, with Malik citing incompatibility as the reason.

    “Shehryar Chaudhry belongs to a well-established family in Islamabad. He has a business of cars and property. Our first few meetings were in Islamabad because I am also from there. In these brief meetings, I found Shehryar to be a wonderful person. He is educated, handsome, and also a Hafiz of the Quran, and that is a quality that won my heart,” she shared.

    “I wanted a life partner who was both religiously and worldly connected,” she said.

  • VIDEO: Selena Gomez ignores Indian fan asking her to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’

    VIDEO: Selena Gomez ignores Indian fan asking her to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’

    American singer Selena Gomez is trending online after a video surfaced where an Indian fan requested her to chant “Jai Shri Ram.”


    Photographer Pallav Paliwal shared the video on Instagram, sparking mixed reactions from social media users with many finding the moment “embarrassing.”


    In the clip, the fan asks Selena to say “Jai Shree Ram” to mark Diwali 2024. The chant is a traditional Hindu phrase meaning “Victory to Lord Ram.” Selena, appearing slightly confused, simply smiles and replies, “Thank you, honey,” instead of repeating the chant.


    The video has received critical comments. A user wrote, “I feel embarrassed for him,” and a Hindu commenter remarked, “I’m Hindu, and this is embarrassing.” Another added, “You chose to make her say, Jai Shri Ram. bro, you wasted your chance.”

    The clip appears to have been shot at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where Selena attended and won the award for Best Actress for Emilia Pérez. Gomez was recently back as Alex Russo when Disney rebooted its Wizards of Waverly Place on October 29, 2024.

    Earlier, Selena Gomez got into trouble after posting an innocuous picture on Instagram.

    In the picture, there was a Starbucks coffee cup in the background. People got really mad at her because she not only bought coffee from Starbucks but also showed it off on her platform. This upset people because there’s a global boycott against brands connected to or supporting Israel, and Starbucks is one of them.

    But some fans got upset, as Starbucks had been boycotted by supporters of the Palestinian cause and labour unions alike. One person criticized her for not knowing about the campaign against Israel called Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).


    People who support the BDS campaign are asking others to stop supporting Starbucks as Israel continues genocide in Gaza. One fan commented, “She really deserves all the hate she can’t be that stupid,” saying that Selena Gomez can’t really be unaware that Starbucks is connected to Israel’s controversial apartheid of Palestinians.

    In reply, the singer directly addressed the criticism. She admitted she didn’t know about the issue and said sorry if she upset anyone. She responded to the comment, saying, “I did not know. So apparently I am that stupid. I’m sorry.”
    The criticism shows how much the BDS movement is growing. They want companies and people stop supporting Israel because of the conflict with Palestine.


    After Israel started a military operation on October 7, which led to the deaths of many Palestinians, people criticized Gomez for not showing support.

    When she said that one post wouldn’t make a difference, she faced a lot of criticism. Then, her makeup brand’s Instagram page posted about the crisis in Gaza and said they wanted to help. They also shared the donations they made to organizations like the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies – Magen David Adom and Palestinian Red Crescent Society.


    However, one X user pointed out how Gomez was still “both siding” the situation, especially given that Magen David Adom is Israel’s National Emergency Pre-Hospital Medical and Blood Services Organization.

    “She’s donating to Magen David Adom who support the IDF and the killing of Palestinian kids,” said the user of the site formerly known as Twitter. “This is a ‘both sides’ post. Why are you donating to MDA which is literally supporting the IDF? Supporting both sides is not activism.”

    Last month, actress Naeema Butt during her appearance as a guest on Something Haute hosted by Amana Isani, Butt shared candid insights into her experiences in the entertainment industry, including an unusual incident where she was refused a role for something as simple as having long hair.


    “There was a time when I was refused a role because of long hair. I won’t change my look for a role”


    On top of her experience with role limitations, Naeema emphasized the commitment to embracing her natural look, encouraging other to do the same. “Please don’t try this, girls, you are beautiful… owning my skin, and I’m doing it so you can do it too,” she urged her fans.
