According to reports, Meera was admitted to the American Hospital in Dubai, where doctors have advised Meera to undergo an operation for her condition. However, nothing has been confirmed as yet and final decision will be made once the results of her blood tests return. Nonetheless, doctors have advised her to rest.

The star requested her fans to pray for her quick recovery. The reports also suggested that fans visited Meera in hospital.
The Punjab Wildlife Protection and Parks Department has submitted a challan in court against singer Rabi Pirzada for taking pictures and videos with reptiles including snakes and crocodiles and keeping them at her salon in Lahore.
Under the Punjab Wildlife (Protection, Conservation and Management) Act of 1974 possession of these animals is considered illegal and can lead up to imprisonment and fine.
Rabi’s reptile collection came to light on September 2 when she uploaded a video on her YouTube channel in which she can be seen with the snakes and a crocodile in the frame.
She starts the video by saying that a Kashmiri woman and her snakes are ready to take on India and all these gifts are for Indian PM Narendra Modi and her reptiles will feast on him.
Following the media reports, Rabi took to Twitter to say that she was being framed by “Modi’s friends” because she spoke up for Kashmir. Rabi asserted that she has been shooting with animals for the past five years but no one took notice of it till now.

Meanwhile, committee member Sarmad Khoosat was all praises for the film remarking, “Laal Kabootar is an authentic representation of the new wave cinema in Pakistan. Karachi’s raw and fierce beauty has never been shown like this on screen before.”
Shahid Afridi, Humayun Saeed, Maya Ali, Hareem Farooq, Shehzad Roy, Faakhir and Javed Sheikh have landed in Muzaffarabad to participate in Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Kashmir Solidarity Rally.
PM Imran on Wednesday had announced that he will hold “a big jalsa in Muzzafarabad on Friday 13 Sept, to send a message to the world about the continuing siege” of Indian occupied Kashmir and “to show the Kashmiris that Pakistan stands resolutely with them.”
I am going to do a big jalsa in Muzzafarabad on Friday 13 Sept, to send a message to the world about the continuing siege of IOJK by Indian Occupation forces; & to show the Kashmiris that Pakistan stands resolutely with them.
Bilal Ashraf and Mahira Khan’s latest release Superstar has been a stellar success both critically and commercially. And the one thing that everyone has agreed on is how lit Mahira and Bilal’s onscreen chemistry is and how well the two have acted in the film.
Now that the pre and post-release promotions for the film have wrapped up, Bilal has been sharing some fun BTS of the cast’s shenanigans from the sets of the film. We have to say, BTS is often more fun than the film itself.
The last episode of Hum TV’s hit drama serial Anaa aired Sunday and it finally saw Izzah and Altamash get married.
But what caught our attention in the final scene was the fact that both the actors – Naimal Khawar Khan and Usman Mukhtar – were wearing the same clothes they wore to Naimal’s actual wedding. Naimal got married to Hamza Ali Abbasi on August 26 in a small, intimate nikkah.
Here’s a side by side look:
In real life
Anaa
The dupatta is definitely the same. As is the string of pearls.

Even the shirt looks the same and it appears that the net dupatta which Naimal used for her wedding entry was used as an accompanying dupatta for her drama’s wedding look. Her hairstyle and makeup are also strikingly similar.

Here’s a side by side look of Usman as well.

People are convinced that the two wore the same outfits, but we’ll have to wait for an official word from the two before drawing any solid conclusions. But hey, we’re all here for it.
Meanwhile, Usman bid a fitting goodbye to Izza and Naimal with an emotional Instagram post.
“Altamash was no one without Izza,” he wrote before going onto praise Naimal for executing the character with “such flawless grace and acting.”
We knew that Meera Jee is a Priyanka Chopra fan but at a time when everyone is calling Priyanka out for being a warmonger, we did not expect Meera Jee to come in and fangirl over Priyanka.
Priyanka’s latest shoot for Vogue India with renowned designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee has been dominating our Instagram feeds for the past couple of days. However, most comments under the pictures call out Priyanka for promoting war with a lot of comments referring to her infamous conversation with Ayesha Malik e.g. “Are you done venting?”, “Girl don’t embarrass yourself.”
In midst of all this, our very own Meera Jee comes in and tell Priyanka she looks beautiful while also telling her that she’s in New York. Talk about being subtle.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Exhibit D
Meera Jee does live in her own world. What do you have to say about this?
India has been at the receiving end of jokes after it’s space mission failed. From ministers to the public, everyone in Pakistan has been poking fun and having a laugh at their failure.
Hamza Ali Abbasi, who is in the centre of all things current (and political), also had a few thoughts to share.
Taking to Twitter, the actor remarked that India is “delusional.”
The tragedy is tht we have a neighbour who wants to destroy Pak, is fueling nuclear race, arms race & wants to land on the moon only to add to a mere delusion of itself as some super power while most ppl in both countries live below poverty line. #IndiaFailed#IndiaOnTheMoonpic.twitter.com/izbF5rTyKv
In a successive tweet, he wrote that India wants to “go to the moon just to stroke their false ego.” Ouch!
Any country, including Pak, which has the tech to produce weapons like MIRVs can send a probe to the moon given they r willing to spend massive resources. It doesn’t matter if Ind moon mission failed, the tragedy is they want to go to the moon just to stroke thr false ego! https://t.co/OsLR5L4s9u
India’s space mission failed on Saturday after it lost contact with an unmanned spacecraft moments before it was due to make a historic soft landing on the Moon. Blasting off in July, India had hoped to become just the fourth country after the United States, Russia and regional rival China to make a successful Moon landing and the first on the lunar South Pole.
But in the early hours of Saturday India time, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi looked on and millions watched with bated breath nationwide, Vikram, the lander named after the father of India’s space programme, went silent just 2.1 kilometres above the lunar surface.
However, PM Modi comforted the glum scientists and a stunned nation from the lunar programme’s command centre in Bangalore, saying India was “proud.”
Don’t know why but Sadaf Kanwal appears to hate Mansha Pasha.
On a recent appearance on the talk show BOL Nights with Ahsan Khan, when the host Ahsan Khan asked Sadaf to name one person who shouldn’t be in the industry, Sadaf responded Mansha Pasha.
When Ahsan expressed his shock and asked why, Sadaf replied, “Bas aisay hee.”
Azfar then remarked that this is the rapid-fire segment and Ahsan is trying to make it into “an elaborated fire.”
Ahsan then commented that Mansha is a very good actress. To this Sadaf responded, “I know, I’m also a very good actress.”
Mansha being Mansha couldn’t resist hitting back at Sadaf.
This is not the first time the two have feuded publically.
Late last year, Mansha had taken to Twitter to comment that the women in the industry “need to step up and learn to speak better.” In case you didn’t know, Mansha was referring to Hira Mani (“From stole my husband from my best friend and cheated on my fiancee”), Sadaf Kanwal (“Jab Me Too hota hai ussi waqt kiyon nahi boltein”) and Momina Mustehsan (“Quotes from Uncle Ben and your friendly neighbourhood spider-man”).
From stole my husband from my best friend and cheated on my fiancee, to jab Me Too hota hai ussi waqt kiyon nahi boltein, to quotes from Uncle Ben and your friendly neighbourhood spider-man.
The women of this industry need to step up and learn to speak better.
Sadaf hit back at Mansha by taking a dig at Pasha’s dressing style.
In response to Sadaf, Mansha posted the following tweet:
While we are all learning about clothes, makeup, hair and how to take perfect selfies, lets also learn how to talk about REAL issues that matter in the REAL world.
As public figures, lets not reduce ourselves merely to the clothes on our back and use our voice for good.
The Pakistani drama scene is currently very lit with new and interesting dramas hitting our TV screens. Here are the dramas that have caught our attention.
Meray Paas Tum Ho
Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan and Adnan Siddiqui’s latest blockbuster has an interesting storyline and the first three episodes have us hooked.
Sanam Baloch and Ali Rehman Khan’s Khaas focuses on the troubles of a married couple and highlights mental abuse in a relationship. It is safe to say that the drama’s storyline is fresh and realistic which makes you want to tune into it every week.
Gul o Gulzar
The drama’s plot focuses on the life of two opposite friends Gul and Gulzar. Saboor Aly who plays the cunning, manipulative Gul has given a brilliant performance and we can’t praise her enough.
Bewafa
Bewafa hasn’t hit the TV screens yet, but it is set to air from this Monday. From the teasers, we can tell that the drama will be a love triangle in which Ali Rehman Khan will have two wives.
Kismat
One episode down, Minal Khan’s latest drama on Hum TV seems typical but we think it’s going to be pretty masalaydaar. The first episode has crossed 1 million views already.
