Afridi debuted in an ODI tri-series tournament in Nairobi, Kenya and, most famously, hit a 37-ball hundred the first time he batted in international cricket. That record stood for over 17 years and was even more outrageous for the fact that it had been achieved by a 16-year-old. After that, he has been known for his blasting cricket and later he was named “Boom Boom”.
Several notable personalities including Shoaib Malik, Alan Wilkins Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) wished Lala on his birthday.

Allah Rakha Rahman, professionally known as A. R. Rahman, is an Indian composer, musician, singer, and music producer. On his birthday, January 6, we (The Current) asked our followers to share their favourite songs of him. Here are the ones that topped the list:
Kun Faya Kun
While the entire album of Rockstar is mindblowing but one song that stood apart and continues to be a classic is Kun Faya Kun. The song has been sung by Mohit Chauhan, Javed Ali and Rahman himself while the soulful lyrics have been penned by Irshaad Kamil. The film features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
Nadaan Parinde
Another magical song from Rockstar. The powerhouse performance by Ranbir, soulful vocals of Mohit Chauhan and unimaginable composition of Rahman makes it another hit.
Jai Ho
After the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire won Best Picture at Oscars, its song Jai Ho became an anthem for Indians at the time, symbolizing India’s victory. This song makes everyone groove even today. Rahman also won Best Original Song for Jai Ho at 2009 Oscars.
Dil Se Re
The song which features in Shah Rukh Khan and Manisha Koirala’s Dil Se continues to weave its magic even decades later. While Rahman sang and composed the song, its lyrics were penned by Gulzar. Anuradha Sriram and Anupama also gave their vocals to this beautiful song.
Taal Se Taal Mila
Released in 1999, Taal and its entire music album was a super hit in its time. The song, Taal Se Taal Mila has two versions: one has been sung by the epic duo – Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan and the other version is sung by supremely talented, Sukhwindar Singh. All songs from the film still have the same charm.
Any song that Rahman touches leaves an indelible mark in people’s memories. This remains one of the top reasons why the humble musician has a global fanbase.
Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar celebrated his 98th birthday on Friday.
While the veteran actor received a plethora of wishes from across the world, the sweetest one was without a doubt from Shah Rukh Khan, with whom Kumar shares a beautiful bond.
“To the one and only, who amazed and inspired the world by just being himself,” wrote Khan on social media. “I cherish and remember every time we’ve met in vivid details and you have always loved me like your own. Love you too much.”

Dilip Kumar’s wife Saira Banu, in an interview had once said that if she and her husband had had a son, he would have looked like SRK.
“I have always said that if we had a son, he might have looked like Shah Rukh,” said Banu. “Both he and saab are alike and have similar hair, which is why I like to run my fingers through Shah Rukh’s hair when we meet.”

It is also pertinent to add here that both Shah Rukh and Kumar’s ancestral roots can be traced to Peshawar’s Qissa Khwani Bazaar. Khan is reported to have visited the city twice during his childhood.
Earlier this year in September, the KP archaeological department announced that it had allotted Rs 50 million for the renovation and restoration of 15 historical sites in the province including the Kapoor Haveli and Dilip Kumar’s house located in Peshawar’s historical Qissa Khwani Bazaar.
“This is our cultural heritage and we take pride in preserving it. We are very proud that Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor were from Peshawar,” KP Director of Archaeology and Museums Abdul Samad had said.
Kumar’s house in Peshawar
Kumar’s wife Saira Banu had praised the government’s decision to restore her husband’s childhood home.
“I wish the provincial government success in its efforts and sincerely hope that this time the dream comes true. MashAllah,” the actor had said. “My heart fills up with joy each time I receive the same news about the ancestral home of Yousuf Saheb in Peshawar which the provincial government has been repeatedly trying to turn into a monument for posterity. It has come up so many times in the past and I have appreciated the tenacity with which the government is pursuing the mission of turning the house into a museum for the public to visit and feel the vintage charm of the house where Dilip Saheb grew up like any bright boy of the province.”
Popularly referred to as the ‘King of Tragedy’, Dilip Kumar was born as Muhammad Yusuf Khan on December 11, 1922, in Peshawar. He made his acting debut with the 1944 film Jwar Bhata. He is best-known for iconic roles in films like Devdas (1955), Naya Daur (1957), Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Ganga Jamuna (1961), Kranti (1981), and Karma (1986). He was last seen on the big screen in Qila in 1998 and was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994, and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
