Clad in a black dress and a headscarf, Rabi said, “My mistakes are between myself and my Creator, the One who knows what is in the hearts of the people. He is the All-Forgiving and the Most Merciful.”
Throughout the video, released privately to the media, Pirzada quoted religious texts extensively and shared that she had found her true calling in religion.
“I realised that even after I run away from the world, I cannot run away from my Lord. That is when I realised that whenever a woman is dragged into the public debate, so many things go wrong,” Rabi said.
Talking about her leaked video, Pirzada revealed that soon after the video went viral, she was approached for films, television commercials, concerts and other private events. She detailed how people had ridiculed her and accused her of seeking cheap popularity.

“Some said it was a punishment for speaking against Modi or PM Imran,” Rabi said while crying. The singer broke into sobs more than once during the video.
At the same time, “a lot of women also offered to support and protect me, assuring me that no one would be able to raise a finger against me. These included those affiliated with #MeToo and #MeraJismMeriMarzi.”
Rabi also warned those who were sharing the leaked video saying that they would be apprehended.
“I think I have been given a new life, and the meaning of my life is now only religion,” she concluded.

The shocking news about a man from Rawalpindi raping and molesting 30 children left everyone stunned.
According to reports, the suspect, identified as Sohail Ayaz was arrested after a woman filed a case against him for kidnapping her 13-year-old son, drugging him and then raping him for four days. The man even recorded videos of the children and blackmailed to release them if they exposed him.
It is pertinent to mention here that the 46-year-old man is a chartered accountant by profession and worked at a government department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the police.
He has also been imprisoned for raping children in the United Kingdom and Italy. He was then deported from both the countries after he completed his prison sentences.
Among those who spoke up against the heinous act were actors Mehwish Hayat, Mansha Pasha and Sanam Saeed, who expressed their disgust on Twitter.
Mehwish called for a “shut down [of] all the networks and mafias exploiting our children in this way.”
The heartwarming exchange between Indian journalist Ravinder Singh Robin and Saddam Hussain, the driver escorting the worshippers going to Kartarpur has caught the attention of heartthrob Ahad Raza Mir who lauded Hussain for being a real hero.
Sharing the friendly video on his Instagram, Ahad wrote, “This is what every Pakistani feels and stands for: compassion, humanity and peace.”
“Saddam Hassan really sums up the fact that Pakistan welcomes everyone. You are a real hero!” he added.
The actor then requested his fans and followers to help him connect to the driver so he can “meet and thank him for being such a good ambassador of our country.”

The video which has been shared by Ravinder Singh himself shows him asking Hussain what he feels about the gesture by the Pakistani government for Sikhs across the border.
“I don’t think you are as happy as me,” Hussain said smiling. “The way my eyes have welled up with tears. I am very happy.”
He continued, “Seeing you all, I have that feeling that one has when one goes for Hajj. This is the same experience for you.”
The video of this exchange went viral on social media and won everyone’s hearts. In case you missed it, watch it here:

Ahad had previously also lauded the Pakistani government for taking this initiative and praised Prime Minister Imran Khan for being “a true leader.”
Minister for Science and Technology, Fawad Chaudhry doesn’t mince words when it comes to expressing his thoughts.
Recently, while responding to a tweet about the upcoming Bollywood historical saga Panipat, Fawad wrote on Twitter, “When idiots try to rewrite history under RSS influence this is minimum one should expect, agay agay dekheiye hota hai kiya…”
Panipat which features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in the lead is directed by ace filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker (Lagaan, Swades, Jodha Akbar). The film reportedly depicts the story behind the Third Battle of Panipat, which was fought between the Maratha Empire and the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Abdali in 1761.
While Arjun will be playing Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau, Dutt will essay the role of the Afghan ruler Abdali.

The film has not only irked Pakistanis for misrepresentation of Muslim rulers but according to The Print, the Embassy of Afghanistan has also expressed concerns to New Delhi and sought a meeting with the Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar to discuss the film.
The Afghans are critical of the way the former Afghan emperor Ahmad Shah Abdali has been portrayed in the period drama. Abdali is a revered figure in Afghanistan and is regarded as the founder of the modern state of Afghanistan.
The Afghanistan Embassy in New Delhi also wrote to the Ministry of External Affairs regarding the matter, while the ex-Afghan ambassador to India tweeted directly to Dutt over the portrayal.
Panipat is scheduled to hit the screens on December 6. The demolition of the Babri Masjid in the city of Ayodhya, in Uttar Pradesh, took place on the same date in 1992.
Previously Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in last year’s Padmaavat left many historians aghast and irked the Muslims who felt that the great emperor was turned into a vile villain.
