Faryal and Amir tied the knot in 2013 and have been embroiled in more than just a few controversies over the years.
While Amir was mired in cheating claims, a family feud between Faryal and her in-laws threatened to break apart the couple. In 2017 Amir split from his wife and publicly accused her of cheating on him with boxer Anthony Joshua, before withdrawing his claims and reconciling with his pregnant wife.
But with the latest baby, it appears that all is well and we hope things stay this way.
A man, reportedly a dentist, allegedly sold ice (methamphetamine) to students at a government school in Jhelum.
According to the Jhelum DPO, “We seized the drugs from the bags of two students of grade six. When we questioned the students, they told that they had gotten the drugs from a dentist.”
The DPO added that an investigation was instantly conducted into the matter after which the dental clinic was raided. While the doctor managed to escape, an employee working at the clinic was arrested and taken into custody.
As per reports, three packets of ice have been seized from the clinic.
A case has been registered and further investigations are underway.
It was a dream come true for Saeed Ullah, who came to Karachi from Quetta to meet his favorite Peshawar Zalmi players on Friday during Pakistan Super League (PSL) match.
While talking to the media he said, “I feel as if I am dreaming. I am so happy.” Saeed was invited from Quetta to meet his favourite players of the team Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Kings won the match but for the differently-abled fan who couldn’t walk, it was an experience of a lifetime.
He thanked Zalmi owner Javed Afridi for inviting him all the way to Karachi so he could meet his favourite stars. “Our fans live in our hearts and these special fans are really close to our hearts,” said Afridi. “Zalmi’s name and fame are all because of their [fans] prayers.”
Karachi Kings’ Coach Dean Jones won hearts and the internet after a video of him clearing the mess and trash after the match went viral on social media. Jones picked up the mess from the enclosure after his team beat Peshawar Zalmi on Friday at Karachi National Stadium.
#DeanJones@ProfDeano Thank you for the display of such greatness and humbleness and We are proud of you being here and helping us learn being better than we are! This is what we need to learn! https://t.co/6RDEEPC3Om
People are praising the international cricketing star for showing a sense of responsibility towards society. Few other Karachi Kings’ cricketers were also seen in the background picking up the garbage.
Earlier, Jones’ team Karachi Kings was also involved in controversy during the match with Peshawar Zalmi. One of the Kings’ members was spotted using a mobile phone in the players’ dugout area during the match. After this, people started criticising this as ICC rules do not permit the use of a mobile phone during the match.
Jones cleared the air on social media by sharing that the person wasn’t any player but he was the CEO of the team. He said he was doing his job arranging the practice session for the team.
Like in ALL T20 cricket. The manager/CEO is the only one allowed to have a phone. In this case Tariq.. our CEO is doing work. Here he is organising us Practice times for today. Thanks for your concern. https://t.co/UORGtmMlro
Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has announced to empower women through the allocation of domestic animals to them, so that they can support their families and earn a livelihood, The News reported.
Addressing the Ehsaas Amdan (income) programme launching ceremony in Layyah on Friday, the premier said the government had decided that women will be given one cow, one buffalo and three goats, so that they could run their households.
Addressing the gathering, he said the government had launched the programme — which he described as “the first of its kind” in Pakistan — to alleviate the sufferings of the poorest members of society. Soon people will get more good news about their wellbeing and country’s prosperity, PM Imran added.
The premier assured the nation that Pakistan’s difficult time was over now, and the country had been put on the right track. He said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was making efforts for its vision of formation of an Islamic welfare state on the patron of the state of Medina.
The PM said the government was working on different projects to establish an Islamic welfare state. He said neither he was afraid of death nor defeat, and believed in making his best efforts to leave the matter to Allah, whose all decisions would be acceptable to him.
Not her debut film Bol, nor her Bollywood film opposite Shah Rukh Khan Raees but Mahira Khan’s ‘most special’ film is Superstar.
The superstar in an Instagram post shared that Superstar “is and will always be the most special film of my life”.
Reason being: “Not only because it gave me so much, but also because it taught me lots. I lived it for years. It was enough for me to have just seen it getting made.”
In a separate post, Mahira thanked her fans, stylists, my makeup artists, hairstylists and designers for helping her win the Most Stylish Film Actress.
“If it was up to me I’d live in my white shalwar kameez,” she wrote.
The opening ceremony of the fifth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) failed to impress the audiences. Apart from the lukewarm performances, the one thing which the audiences hated was Ahmed Godil, the host of the ceremony. Following his act on stage, netizens took to social media to troll Godil. Memes on him were plenty and people left no stone unturned to bash him.
Following the immense backlash and hate, Ahmed while talking to a private news channel said,”Meri ghalti kya hai? I was doing my job. Meri maa behan ko to bakhsh do yaar. Main ne kya ghalti ki hai. (What is my mistake? I was just doing my job. At least leave my mother and sisters out of this).
Godil explained that all he did was try to warm up the crowd before the ceremony officially commenced.
“I was asked to go on stage to get the audience excited before the opening ceremony,” he said. “I was not even the host of the event. Fakhre Alam was always the host. I didn’t even know the broadcast had begun because I had the slot before the show itself.”
Godil further shared that he had not slept after the ceremony as people wouldn’t stop harassing him and his family. He added that his private number was leaked because of which he had to shut down his phone.
“Pichli do raton se main soya nahi hoon. Hum subah 5 bajay ghar aaty thay or phir 10 bajay hamain wapis report karna hota tha. Where did I go wrong? Kya main ne stage pe koi badtameezi ki? Kya main ne kisi ko gaali di? Ap log chahaty kya hain? (I haven’t slept since the past two nights. We had to report at 10 am every morning and would work till 5 in the morning. Where did I go wrong? Did I misbehave on stage? Did I abuse anyone? What do you all want? I am so hurt”).
Ahmed then proceeded to show his phone to the audiences and said, “This phone is on flight mode since last night. Someone leaked my contact number on Facebook.”
“Aap ne kya expect kia tha mujhse. Main aik host hoon. Main yahan pe aa k kapray utar k nachoon ga. Main ganay gaoonga. Main America gaya or Atif Aslam or Sonu Nigam ke shows ko host kiya. I am the only Pakistani host jisne Indian artist ka show host kia hai. Aap koi host dikha dein mujhay utha k. There is no one. (“I am just a host. What was I supposed to do? Take off my clothes and dance? I’ve been a host for a long time. I’ve hosted shows for Atif Aslam in America. I’ve done this before, I didn’t just come out of nowhere. But what did I do so wrong?)” he said.
Godil shared that since the PSL ceremony he has replayed his performance multiple times to try to find out where he went wrong. He shared that he is under severe mental pressure and fears that his career could end because of the trolling.
Godil is a host, VJ, RJ, actor and model. He did his Bachelor’s from Iqra University and Master’s from SZABIST. Before hosting PSL V, he also hosted the FebFest and Karachi Eat.
Sultan of Swing Wasim Akram’s life is being made into a movie.
The film titled Akram: An Era was announced at the opening ceremony of the fifth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the National Stadium in Karachi.
According to the press release, the film will go on floors at the end of this year. The cast and release date has not yet been locked.
Akram: An Era will be produced under the banners of 502 Productions and Pomelo Films with Executive Producers Adeel Niazi and Arsalan H. Shah steering the project. Niazi will also be directing the film.
Sharing his thoughts on the film, Akram said, “The fact that films are being made on cricket and, more importantly, sports stars is not only a good sign for the film industry but for the sport as well. Movies are a unique portal to engage a whole new generation, I am looking forward to participating in the production and cannot wait to see how this pans out.”
The movie is said to not only highlight Wasim Akram’s many accomplishments but also shed light on his personal life and endeavours outside the stadium.
Akram: An Era is currently in its preliminary stages of pre-filming and the production house will be commencing with auditions and screen tests soon after PSL 2020.
Previously, a film was made on the life of Shahid Afridi. The film starred Humayun Saeed and Hamza Ali Abbasi in key roles.
Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFU), lawyers and civil society members have decided to launch a nationwide movement for getting trashed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s Citizens Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules, DAWNreported.
Addressing a press conference at the National Press Club on Thursday, the journalists’ union, lawyers, and civil society termed the government’s notified rules unacceptable, and demanded that the government revoked them.
Members of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), the Islamabad High Court Bar Association (IHCBA) and Media Matters for Democracy attended the presser.
Many prominent journalists were of the view that these rules exceeded the mandate given by the 2016 Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act. In addition, they all said the regulation was a clampdown on online content as the final extreme in the series of restrictions on freedom of expression as well as press freedom in the country.
