Veteran actor Noor Bukhari has reportedly remarried her ex-husband and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Awn Chaudhry. While the couple has not yet confirmed the reports, Noor left a cryptic message in a social media post in which she referred to Awn as her “hero”. Chaudhry was Noor’s third husband.

Meanwhile, PTI MNA Aamir Liaqat also endorsed the reports by congratulating the couple on social media. He also revealed that Noor remarried Awn for the sake of their daughter. Aamir referred to Noor as a “great lady” for taking this decision.
If the reports are correct, this will be Noor’s fifth marriage. The former film star, who bid goodbye to the entertainment industry two years ago, first tied the knot in 2008 to a businessman named Vikram. The two divorced two years later.

The 37-year-old then married director-producer Farooq Mengal in 2010. However, that marriage also lasted less than a year and two parted ways.

In 2012, Noor tied the knot with Awn Chaudhry. The couple have a daughter together though the marriage lasted only a few months.
Noor then married Wali Hamid Khan in 2015 but that marriage also ended due to domestic disputes even though Khan had said that he found his soulmate in Noor. In September 2017, Noor took khula from Wali through the court.

In late 2019, speculations were rife that the actor has gotten married for the fifth time but Noor shut down the rumours and asked people to stop believing in fake stories.
Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has convened a high-level inter-ministerial meeting to formulate a strategy for tackling the outbreak of coronavirus as it claims at least 81 lives in China, and leaves thousands of others affected.
According to a notification issued by the PM’s Office on Monday, the meeting has been convened “in light of 2,000 coronavirus cases being confirmed across the globe amid the presence of a large number of Chinese nationals in Pakistan and frequent travel between the two countries”.
In mid-December, some people in the central Chinese city of Wuhan began complaining of flu and pneumonia-like symptoms. Some had a high fever. Doctors were perplexed. To find out what might be causing their illness, geneticists analysed the DNA of the virus that had infected them.
At once, the scientists realised the virus was new to science. As of January 23, experts at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Switzerland estimated that at least 557 people have contracted the rapidly spreading disease.
As Pakistan remains at risk if necessary precautions are not taken, the federal-level meeting has been summoned by the premier’s office under the chairmanship of special assistant to the PM on national health services, regulations and coordination.
Outcome of the meeting along with recommendations will be furnished to the PM’s office within one week, the notification said.
NBA legend Kobe Bryant died Sunday when a helicopter he was riding in crashed and burst into flames in thick fog, killing all nine people on board including his teenage daughter.
According to reports, Bryant, 41, was travelling with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other passengers and crew when their Sikorsky S-76 helicopter slammed into a rugged hillside in Calabasas, west of Los Angeles. They had been expected at the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a basketball game.
Bryant, a five-time NBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medallist, is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players in history, an iconic figure who became one of the faces of his sport during a glittering two-decade career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dozens of firefighters and paramedics battled across steep terrain to reach the flaming wreckage at the crash site but found no survivors, officials said.
The National Transportation Safety Board said an 18-strong team of investigators would be sent to California to probe the causes of the crash.
Bryant’s death sent shockwaves throughout the world and left fans stunned. Tributes to Bryant flooded in from former US presidents, pop stars and athletes from different sports. Local celebrities including Mehwish Hayat, Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi mourned Bryant’s death.
Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
So sad to hear the heartbreaking news of the deaths of Kobe and his daughter Gianna. Kobe was a true legend and inspiration to so many. Sending my condolences to his family and friends and the families of all who lost their lives in the crash. RIP Legend pic.twitter.com/qKb3oiDHxH
Totally heartbroken by the news of Kobe Bryant’s passing. He was a legend on the court and an inspiration to millions. His words “Life is too short” couldn’t have been more prophetic . RIP #Kobehttps://t.co/U4MCS6DCXS
News of Kobe Bryant’s death is tragic indeed but a reminder for us all tht sooner/later this experience we call LIFE will end soon for us all. Lets us reflect on our lives, ask the big questions: Is this existence designed with a purpose or is this just chance & chaos? #KobeRIP
His complete devotion to his daughter also made headlines. He is quoted as saying “The best thing that happens is when we go out and fans would come up to me and she’ll (Gianna) be standing next to me and they’ll be like, ‘You’ve gotta have a boy … You gotta have somebody to carry on your tradition, the legacy.’ “She’s like, ‘Oy, I got this. Don’t need no boy for that.’ I’m like, that’s right. Yes, you do, you got this.”
Son of former NBA player Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, the Lakers legend was born in Philadelphia in 1978. The five-time NBA champion began his career in 1996 straight out of high school and lasted until his retirement in 2016. He also was a two-time Olympic gold medalist, helping spark the US squad of NBA stars to titles in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London.
Bryant bowed out of the NBA in 2016, scoring 60 points in his final appearance before his adoring fans at the Staples Center. It was a fairytale farewell to a sporting career that had begun two decades earlier.
After robbing a utility store in Sharifabad, unidentified armed men robbed asked the shopkeeper to forgive them for their offense as they ran away.
According to the shopkeeper, Atique, two men came at his store and robbed it of two 10 kilograms sacks of flour, at least 10 kilograms of pulses, 10 bags of cooking oil and ghee and five kilograms of various spices. They also took his mobile phone and cash on gunpoint and also looted another employee at the store when he came for work.

The shopkeeper said that both the robbers were young and had not covered their faces. He complained that although he had informed the police immediately after the incident, they could not be arrested.
It’s time to bid goodbye to those rickshaws which produce poisonous gases or make noise because Pakistan is introducing electric rickshaws. These new electric rickshaws will run on batteries and will be completely manufactured in Pakistan.
According to manufacturers, this new mode of transport will soon be seen on roads.
“But for that to happen, it’s very important that the government endorses these vehicles. If this rickshaw will be successful in the country and its demand increases, many other vehicles will be converted soon”, an industrialist said.
The three-wheelers were launched at the event ‘Showcasing Pakistan’s First Fully-Electric Three-Wheel Vehicle’ that was inaugurated by PM’s Adviser on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam.
The adviser said, “By the end of this year the electric vehicle policy will be fully launched in the country. The policy will boost the concept of pollution-free vehicles in the country”.
The electric vehicles do not emit smoke or make noise pollution and cut fuel cost as well, Aslam added.

Meanwhile, Adnan Siddiqui shared a picture of himself with Savera Nadeem.
The grand finale of Meray Paas Tum Ho has finally aired putting to rest all speculations over who will die and what will finally happen of Mehwish. While the drama was a phenomenal success, it did stir up controversy with its problematic dialogues and comments by the writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar in his various interviews. The writer was accused of being misogynist and anti-women.
A few days before the finale, upcoming actor, Rehmat Ajmal, who plays Danish (Humayun Saeed) and Mehwish’s (Ayeza Khan) friend Aisha in the drama, said that she is “not proud to be part of something that is so compromising and ill-informed”.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote the message on her public account, saying that she watched Qamar’s interview and “got to know about his problematic views on very many things WAY after the project was completed” and that “I absolutely do not endorse the concepts and viewpoints of Mr Khalil Ul Rehman”.
Following Rehmat’s decision to distance herself from the show, Musaddiq Malik, who is the Associate Director of the play, and also plays Monty in the drama lashed out at Rehmat for “pulling a publicity stunt”.
He explained that “no actors were ill-informed about the play” and everyone “knew everything that they are signing up for”. He added that he was hurt by Rehmat’s comments as “a friend and it has got nothing to do with anyone of you nor does anyone have the right to say bad stuff about her”.
