    Morning show host Nida Yasir is known to hit back at the trolls. The Nadaniyaan star recently trended on social media due to a blunder regarding Formula cars that she made on live television.

    After trending for days over a throwback F1 racing car video, Nida has finally addressed the ongoing debacle post that clip has resurfaced on social media.

    In 2016, the morning show host had invited two NUST students who had invented their own Formula 1 racing car.

    The super talented duo Abdul Aleem and Mohammad Shariq Waqar had joined the host in hopes to shed light on their project but were left puzzled by the host’s questions.

    As Twitter basked in the meme glory, netizens trolled Nida over her ‘poorly’ researched interview.

    Now, the Uff yeh biwian diva has responded to the controversy by saying, “After watching the clip, I’m laughing at myself, I find the interview hilarious. This was a mistake though. I will make sure that I research first before discussing any topic.”

    “I’ve done several important shows, whose feedback has been very positive. However, no one ever talks about that or makes it viral. That really demotivates me.”, she concluded.

    Actor In Law fame director Nabeel Qureshi criticised the morning show host, saying: “One can always do small research before inviting the guest.”

    Aadi Adeal amjad also turned to Instagram stories to school her.

    On the work front, Nida was praised for her performance in the telefilm Uff Yeh Biwiyaan and its sequel alongside Shaista Lodhi.

    Formula One legend Niki Lauda passes away

    Legendary Formula One driver Niki Lauda passed away at the age of 70 on Tuesday. His death comes eight months after he underwent a lung transplant. If you’ve seen the 2013 blockbuster Rush, you probably know who Niki Lauda is but if you haven’t read on.

    Lauda was born as Andreas Nikolaus on February 22, 1949, in Vienna into an upper-middle-class family, who did not share his passion for cars. In 1968, without telling his parents, Lauda won his first race with a Mini Racer he had bought with his grandmother’s help.

    During his driving career, Lauda suffered horrific injuries on August 1, 1976 when his vehicle burst into flames on the Nuerburgring in Germany. He had severe burns to his face and hands and inhaled toxic fumes which severely damaged his lungs.

    Despite being given the last rites in hospital he made an almost miraculous recovery to race again just six weeks later still bandaged and in intense pain.

    He missed only two races that season but was unable to hold off the challenge of Britain’s James Hunt, who went on to claim his only world title. The rivalry between the two men was also portrayed in Rush.

    The next season, in 1977, Lauda went on to win his second Formula One world championship with Ferrari. He also went on to win a championship in 1984 with Mercedes. Lauda continued to be associated with F1 and was a non-executive chairman at Mercedes F1 since 2012.

    Apart from that, Lauda was also an airline entrepreneur. He bought and sold several airlines including Lauda Air and Niki.
