    Actor Ayesha Omar has posted a lengthy note on Instagram, shedding light on a throwback moment from her 2020’s Dubai trip.

    “My heart was heavy and my mind was a mess, while posing for these. Instagram is never a reflection of reality. You can never tell what’s actually going on in someone’s head or life by what you see in a photo. Sanya and I both were going through terrible times, but we made it through, and came out stronger and softer,” wrote the Zindagi Gulzar Hai star.

    “Today, I’m grateful for so much. The list is endless. But especially for all the love and support I get from all of you.. through my good times and bad, through my highs and lows… thank you, all of you. I’m just so grateful. Everyday,” Ayesha concluded.

    Paris Hilton was quick to extend her support to Ayesha.

    The lead vocalist of Romanian popstar band Akcent Adrian Claudiu Sînă also left a heart emoji under the Bulbulay diva’s post.

    Akcent hints at making new PSL anthem after controversy

    The official anthem of the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Groove Mera has stirred up a storm in the country. While some, including celebrities, have appreciated the song, others have strongly criticised the composition and choice of artists.

    After Shoaib Akhtar claiming he could have done a better job with the anthem, several fans have requested Romanian band Akcent to remake the song, in what appears to have become a tradition before the start of PSL every year.

    Responding to fans’ requests, the official account of Akcent said that the band might remake the PSL 6 song.

    In another comment, the band said that they might make the official anthem for the next edition of the PSL.

    Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday defended its decision to hire Naseebo Lal, Aima Baig and Young Stunners to perform the anthem, saying that the three artists were chosen as the board wanted to feature voices that were new and had not sung any PSL anthem before.

    Earlier, Akcent had also tweeted: “PSL 7 or PSL 8?”

  • Akcent’s lead vocalist had a ‘fantastic’ cup of tea with DG ISPR Gen Asif Ghafoor

    Romanian pop band Akcent’s lead singer Adrian Sina, after his concert at the Alhamra Cultural Complex in Lahore, paid a visit to the ISPR Headquarters where he had a “fantastic cup of tea” with DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor.

    Taking to Twitter, the singer shared a short video of himself with Gen Ghafoor in which he says, “I am so happy that I had a chance to travel from Romania to Pakistan to meet General Asif Ghafoor and ISPR.”

    Sipping on his tea, he added, “I discovered, once again, that Pakistani tea is fantastic.”

    The Director-General of the ISPR had invited the band to have tea at his office when they announced their visit back in October.

    Meanwhile, Akcent’s concert in Lahore on Sunday was embroiled in controversy. The pop band was initially scheduled to perform at Governor House to ‘express solidarity with the Kashmiris’.

    However, the event drew ire on social media with users questioning the logic behind holding a concert to raise voice for Kashmir. Following the backlash, the Punjab government, including Governor Chaudhry Sarwar and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, withdrew its support and logistics. The government also did not allow the organisers to provide Kashmir flags to the concert participants. All flexes referring to the oppression of Kashmiris were also pulled down.

    Since the Romanian band was invited and payments were made, it performed at the Alhamra Cultural Complex before a large crowed but without any gesture for held Kashmir – it was held as a music concert without any political or diplomatic agenda.

    The development upset many including Sina, who was reportedly disappointed that he could not speak a word about the Kashmiris. Sina’s press conference, which was scheduled at the Governor House, was also reportedly cancelled.

    Chief Minister’s Taskforce on Women Development chairperson Tanzila Imran Khan, the host of the event, also expressed her disappointed saying that she herself had contacted the band’s lead and made payments from her own pockets to raise voice for the Kashmiris.
