    Actress Sana Javed seen avoiding the camera in viral video

    Sana Javed’s response to people filming her without her consent has gone viral on social media.

    Sana is currently traveling with her husband, Shoaib Malik, who is participating in the Legends League.

    While in Birmingham with the team and their families, Sana was filmed without her permission. The actress, visibly uncomfortable, tried to shield her face from the camera with her hands.

    The video quickly spread on social media, sparking a heated debate.

    criticized Sana, claiming she was overreacting.
    Others defended Sana, saying the filming invaded her personal space and privacy. One supporter wrote, “One should respect personal boundaries, regardless of a person’s celebrity status.” Another added, “Celebrities should have the right to protect their privacy. The public should be more mindful of personal boundaries.”

    This incident with Sana Javed is not unique. Actress Dur-e-Fishan Saleem faced a similar situation when she was filmed without her knowledge and also received both criticism and support.

    As one user summed up, “Just because they are celebrities, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any feelings. They’re normal people who get affected by such behavior. The one who made the video should be ashamed.”

  • Marriage in Pakistan is no simple task, says actress Anam Tanveer

    Marriage in Pakistan is no simple task, says actress Anam Tanveer

    Actor Anam Tanveer recently discussed why getting married in Pakistan is harder than in other parts of the world during a podcast with FHM.

    Tanveer pointed out that in many other countries, people can marry who they love without considering religion, social status, or background. However, in Pakistan, these factors play a significant role.

    She gave examples: “In Pakistan, if a guy from DHA likes a girl from Malir, they often can’t marry because of where they live. This shouldn’t be the deciding factor.”

    She added, “If I live in North Nazimabad, a guy might think it’s a cheap and backward area and refuse to marry me. Today, people prioritize where someone lives over compatibility, education, or character. A guy from DHA usually marries a girl from the same area.”

    Tanveer also talked about her ideal partner, saying he should respect women, support his wife, and trust her career goals. She concluded by saying, “I haven’t met a single Pakistani man who respects women well.”

    Babur Junaid Jamshed shares his father’s wish for Shahadat 

    Junaid Jamshed, known for his music and devotion to Islam, left a lasting impact on both, a legacy now carried on by his son.  

    Recently, Babur Junaid appeared as a guest on the Nadir Ali podcast. He talked about the last conversation with his father and his last wish for martyrdom (Shahadat). 

    During the podcast, Nadir Ali respectfully requested permission to share Junaid Jamshed’s last voice note, provided by a close friend. 

    Nadir Ali said, “With your permission, I’d like to discuss your last moments with Junaid Jamshed. I would also like to talk about his last voice note, which was shared by Arsalan Bhai, who used to be with him. I’ve listened to the voice note, and I noticed that Junaid Jamshed often used to say ‘MashaAllah’ and ‘Insha Allah’ frequently, but in his last message, he said, ‘I will come to Karachi’ without adding ‘Insha Allah.’ It seems that Allah had other plans, and it was not meant to be.”. 

    Talking about Junaid Jamshed Shahadat 

    Babur Junaid Jamshed said, “I was at home when we heard about Baba’s news. My mother told me, but there’s something I’ve never told anyone before: he wished for martyrdom. He often said, ‘I acknowledge my faults and wrongdoings; I seek forgiveness,’ which is why he desired martyrdom. Embracing martyrdom was our father’s greatest wish; you wouldn’t believe that he consistently prayed for it. We would become concerned, and my mother would sometimes get upset with his prayers, but that’s how it was.” 

     Junaid Jamshed was a very good, kind, humble, and friendly person, qualities bestowed upon him by Allah.” Babur added.

    Shehbaz-led government finds little support from allies

    As the federal government announced yesterday to ban the main opposition party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the ruling government’s key ally, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), distanced itself from the unexpected and controversial decision.

    PPP’s Information Secretary Shazia Atta Marri has clarified the party’s position by saying that PPP wasn’t consulted on the decision to ban PTI. Her remarks came after the Shehbaz Sharif-led government decided to ban the PTI and start high treason references against their leaders, including Imran Khan.

    Elaborating on the PPP’s stance, Marri said the party would discuss the government’s decision to ban the PTI.

    Meanwhile, Sindh Planning & Development and Energy Minister Nasir Hussain Shah said that the PPP “is not in favour of banning any political party”.

    PPP’s Senator Sherry Rehman also confirmed Marri and Shah’s remarks about not being consulted and noted that the party had no idea that such a move by the Centre would be taken and that the party

    David Warner isn’t in our plans for Champions Trophy 2025: Australian chief selector

    Australian chief selector George Bailey has clarified that David Warner is not part of his plans for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

    The selector has firmly closed the door on David Warner’s return to the Champions Trophy in 2025, saying, “You never know when someone is joking. Warner has had a great career, and it couldn’t have been better for him.”

    He said, “Regarding this team, its transfer journey is going on with some different players. We will no longer consider David Warner as his career is over; we will select the squad keeping that in mind.”

    A few days ago, Warner insisted that he would keep the door open for a return to the Champions Trophy, but Bailey has now made it clear that the aggressive opener will not be in Pakistan with the Australian team.

    The left-handed batsman had announced his retirement from ODI cricket earlier this year on the occasion of the farewell Test against Pakistan.

  • Trump appears at convention with bandaged ear after shooting

    Trump appears at convention with bandaged ear after shooting

    Donald Trump received a hero’s welcome Monday as he entered the Republican National Convention arena with a bandaged right ear in his first public appearance since being wounded in a weekend assassination attempt.

    Hours after winning the formal nomination to be the Republican presidential candidate and announcing right-wing Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, Trump marched into Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum flanked by aides and waved at supporters on the opening day of what is expected to be a triumphalist gathering.

    Trump, who is due to give a formal acceptance speech on Thursday, took his seat to the sound of country singer Lee Greenwood’s patriotic hit “God Bless the USA” without delivering any remarks but appeared markedly moved by the rapt ovation he received from a packed venue.

    “It was absolutely amazing. I mean, just thinking what he’s been through, and to come here today because he really cares,” Illinois delegate Susan Sweeney told AFP on the convention floor.

    It was the second huge moment of the day for the Republican crowd, which erupted into cheers earlier as Trump announced Vance, just 39, as his vice presidential pick, rewarding a one-time harsh critic who has become one of his most uncompromising supporters.

    While Trump, 78, is increasingly confident of a shock return to the White House — despite multiple legal problems and two impeachments clouding his first term — President Joe Biden.

    The standard-bearer for a new kind of populism that has come to the fore under Trump, Vance is also one of the least experienced VP picks in modern history.

    But he embraces the ex-president’s isolationist, anti-immigration America First movement and is even further to the right than his new boss on some issues — including abortion, where he embraces calls for federal legislation.

    Strong polling

    He initially made his name with the 2016 memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” a best-selling account of his Appalachian family and modest Rust Belt upbringing that gave a voice to rural, working-class resentment in left-behind America.

    Turning his back on previous Republican opposition to Trump, whom he once said might be “America’s Hitler,” Vance reinvented himself and ultimately won the ex-president’s endorsement in the 2022 Ohio Senate race, launching his meteoric rise.

    Some 50,000 Republicans descended on the shores of Lake Michigan for the four-day convention, four months before election day.

    The gathering comes with the country reeling from a botched attempt by a gunman to kill Trump at a rally in Butler, western Pennsylvania on Saturday.

    The attack — which killed one bystander and left Trump with the bloodied ear that required the bandage — was expected to dominate proceedings.

    Leading in multiple polls, despite being convicted in his hush-money criminal case in New York, Trump is exuding confidence.

    At 81, Biden meanwhile is facing calls from his own side to quit the race over concerns around his age.

    His campaign released a statement saying the Trump-Vance agenda would “take away Americans’ rights, hurt the middle class, and make life more expensive — all while benefiting the ultra-rich and greedy corporations.”

    Message of unity

    Trump told the New York Post he had “prepared an extremely tough speech” about Biden’s “horrible administration” to deliver at the convention.

    As some Republicans — including Vance — sought to blame Democrats’ anti-Trump rhetoric for the attack, Trump said he had torn up that version in favor of one he hopes will “unite our country.”

    Still, that means him having to rein in the instinct to settle scores — demonstrated by his cry for supporters to “fight” in the seconds after Saturday’s attack.

    A diminished figure after his 2020 election loss and a subsequent riot at the Capitol by his supporters, Trump has spent much of the last four years reshaping Republican politics.

    Installing loyalists, including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, atop the Republican National Committee, the billionaire has effectively crushed dissent within the party.

    He scored another victory Monday as a judge dismissed one of the criminal cases against him concerning accusations he endangered national security by holding on to top secret documents after leaving the White House.
