    Taqi said, “A few years ago, I was severely injured in an accident, which was reported by news platforms.”

    He said that the news went viral. “I received messages from all sides wishing me a speedy recovery. I read the news on a platform on social media, and under it, a user had commented, ‘It would have been better if you had died.’”

    ‘Can’t stand for more than a few minutes’: Hina Khan reveals reality of breast cancer fight

    Fighting cancer is tough, with chemo and radiotherapy sessions, weakness, lack of appetite and other side effects.

    She was diagnosed in June 2023 and has been undergoing treatment since then.

The clip shows that she is rushed into an elevator, where she highlights the sneakers she wore under a sari and explains their importance for her comfort, “What a day it was.. as you all know I have this crippling Neuropathic Pain and it makes standing more than a few Mins at a stretch extremely difficult. This Event was a commitment made months before the side effects of my treatment presented itself. I’ll be honest, initially I wanted to refund and cancel this deal because this Event required me to stand for 1 and Half hour on the stage and I was extremely nervous and not sure if I will be able to pull it off.”

    Hina Khan also explained her choice to wear sneakers under her sari: “Now a days anything cushioned in my feet gives me comfort in walking.. which is why we decided to wear a super comfy pair of shoes beneath my Saree.”

    Despite the pain and obstacles, Hina remain committed to her work and goals. She expressed gratitude for her ability to continue pursuing her dreams, stating, “Blessed to have what I have and even while facing this phase of my life. I am thankful to Almighty coz I am able to do it and learn from so many brave souls. With the show, some strength, Faith in almighty, some pills and the support of my team we managed to pull it off and I am so proud of myself that I didn’t give up ”

    Stage three breast cancer is an advanced stage of breast cancer where the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or organs, including lymph nodes.

  • ‘I haven’t quit acting’: Yashma Gill on Zakir Naik misunderstanding

    ‘I haven’t quit acting’: Yashma Gill on Zakir Naik misunderstanding

    Actress Yashma Gill recently addressed a misunderstanding involving Islamic scholar Zakir Naik and his presumption that she had left the entertainment industry.

    A gathering was held at the Governor House in Sindh, Karachi, on October 5, attended by many people, including Yashma Gill. During a Q&A session with Dr. Zakir Naik, who is currently visiting Pakistan, she shared that, “I had once drifted away from my faith but later returned to religion after listening to Dr. Naik’s statements and watching his videos.”

    Yashma Gill asked Dr. Zakir Naik, “When Allah has already written a person’s destiny, what control does a human have? If someone is doing right or wrong, who is responsible for it, since we believe that destiny is preordained, like a thief who steals?”

    In response, Dr Naik said, “Our sister says she was previously an actress and later became religious after listening to my statements. I congratulate you for returning to the right path from the film industry. It is difficult to leave the media’s trap, but Allah is guiding many people.”

    After the video of the event went viral, Yashma posted an Instagram story clarifying the situation. She wrote, “Last night, I had the opportunity to ask Dr. Zakir Naik a question, and I feel fortunate. I probably didn’t express myself properly due to the mic cutting out frequently and the noise from the crowd, which led to the misunderstanding that I had quit the entertainment industry.”

    She explained, “To clarify, I am still a part of the industry and continue to work as an actress. If you watch the video from the beginning, you’ll understand. I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I am trying to maintain a balance between my religion and career. I deeply value Zakir Naik’s thoughts, as he played a role in bringing me closer to my faith.”

    She added, “I apologize if my words hurt anyone’s feelings.”

    Later, Yashma posted another story addressing those asking why she didn’t correct Dr. Zakir Naik immediately. She wrote, “To those questioning why I didn’t correct Dr. Naik at that moment, my answer is that it would have been highly disrespectful to interrupt him.”

  • New ‘Joker’ film, a dark musical, tops N.America box office

    New ‘Joker’ film, a dark musical, tops N.America box office

    Warner Bros.’ “Joker: Folie a Deux,” a dark new musical Batman spinoff, earned an estimated $40 million over the weekend to top the North American box office, industry watchers reported Sunday.

    But that was far behind the $96.2 opening of the original “Joker” in 2019, a movie that earned Joaquin Phoenix a best-actor Oscar and grossed more than $1 billion worldwide. Industry analyst David A. Gross called it “a weak opening for the follow-up sequel in a superhero series.”

    “Folie a Deux” — French for “shared madness” — again stars Phoenix as the unbalanced titular villain, this time joined by Lady Gaga (playing the cheerily deranged Harley Quinn) as the two sing, dance and plan assorted acts of mayhem. Todd Phillips directs, and the cast includes Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener.

    Last week’s box office leader, family-friendly sci-fi tale “The Wild Robot” from DreamWorks Animation, slipped a spot to second, taking in $18.7 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations estimated.

    Lupita Nyong’o voices Roz, an intelligent robot who is marooned on an uninhabited island and, to survive, has to befriend a menagerie of woodland animals — and ends up adopting an adorable gosling.

    Warner Bros.’ “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” also slipped a spot, to third, earning $10.3 million.

    Michael Keaton again plays the creepily hilarious title character with Winona Ryder reprising her role as Lydia Deetz, backed by “Beetlejuice” newcomers Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci and Justin Theroux.

    In fourth was Paramount’s animated action film “Transformers One,” the latest installment in the toy-based franchise, at $5.4 million.

    And in fifth, for the second straight week, was “Speak No Evil,” a psychological horror film from Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, at $2.8 million. James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis star.

    Rounding out the top 10 were:

    “White Bird” ($1.5 million)

    “Deadpool & Wolverine” ($1.5 million)

    “The Substance” ($1.3 million)

    “Megalopolis” ($1.1 million)

    “My Old Ass” ($908,000)

  • ‘Hina Altaf and I may never stop respecting each other’: Aagha Ali on divorce

    ‘Hina Altaf and I may never stop respecting each other’: Aagha Ali on divorce

    Going through a divorce can be tough, bringing a lot of big changes in life.

    Agha Ali recently talked about his experience after divorce from his ex-wife Hina Altaf.

    During a podcast with Ahmed Ali Butt, he reflected on his life after divorce. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m doing good, I’m now doing pretty well, actually. Very happy to say that and happy to feel it at the same time. Life is tough, but what can I say.”

    Talking about her ex-wife Hina Altaf:

    Aagha said, “The good thing is that we should never stop respecting each other. There’s nothing better than this because in most relationships, when they end, people lose respect for each other.”

    “I think that any relationship in your life that you have built with your own happiness, you should put in all your effort to maintain it. You should pray as well, but if you can’t make it work, then the only way out is to separate.” Agha added.

    Thinking about how divorce affects us emotionally, the Ishqaway actor said, “When relationships end, usually nothing remains except hatred so, yes, it was very tough and something I could never have imagined in my life, but again, if you both try with all your heart, then the only option left is to wish each other well and move on.”

    Hina Alaf and Aagha Ali tied the knot on 22 May, 2022 in Karachi.

  • Pro Palestine singer who spoke up against Kamala Harris gets number one spot

    Pro Palestine singer who spoke up against Kamala Harris gets number one spot

    Chappell Roan, a rising singer known for her support of Palestine, recently hit the number one spot on the Artist 100 and Top Album Sales charts for the first time. The success follows her outspoken stance against Vice President and Democrat candidate for President Kamala Harris, and her decision to reject an invitation to perform at the White House Pride event earlier this year.

    In a candid interview with The Guardian, Roan explained why she doesn’t feel pressured to endorse any political candidate, including Kamala Harris, in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. “There’s problems on both sides,” she said. “I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change.”

    Roan encouraged her fans to think critically about their votes. “Use your critical thinking skills, use your vote — vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city,” she advised.

    Her decision to decline the White House Pride event invitation came during her performance at New York City’s Governors Ball music festival in June, where she told the crowd, “We want liberty, justice, and freedom for all. When you do that, that’s when I’ll come.”

    In a more recent Rolling Stone interview, Roan elaborated on her reasoning for rejecting the invite, pointing to the U.S. government’s support for Israel in the ongoing Gaza conflict. She even considered using her potential performance at the White House to protest by reciting poems from Palestinian women but ultimately decided against it after discussions with her publicist.

    “I was trying to do it as tastefully as I could because all I wanted to do was yell,” she explained. “I had to find something that’s tasteful and to the point, meaningful, and not make it about me and how I feel.”

    Despite her firm stance on U.S. government policies, Roan clarified that her decision not to attend the White House event should not be seen as support for former President Donald Trump. “It’s not so black and white that you hate one and you like the other,” she said, addressing misunderstandings among some fans.

    Roan added, “No matter how you say it, people are still going to be pissed for some reason. I’m not going to go to the White House because I am not going to be a monkey for Pride. And thank God I didn’t go because they just made a huge statement about trans kids a couple weeks ago.”

    Her refusal to stay silent on controversial issues has not hindered her rise to the top of the charts. Roan’s success reflects a growing trend of artists using their platforms to speak up for social justice and political issues, making her not only a musical force but also a voice for change.
