    Aik waqt main dou logon say bhi muhabbat ho sakhti hai: Nadia Afghan

    Veteran actress Nadia Afghan recently shared her opinions on the idea of giving up one’s self for love, calling it illogical and unjustified. During a recent appearance on a ‘Mazaq Raat’ episode
    During the conservation, Nadia was quite against the concept of dying for love during the debate, saying that it is nonsense. “Dying for love is just silly. It’s not true at all. Thinking someone would give up their life for another because of love doesn’t make sense.”

    She said that, “Its possible to love more than one person at the same time, despite the common belief that you can’t love multiple people at once.”
    Nadia said, “Different types of love can exist at the same time. One person might understand you well mentally, while another is crucial for your everyday life.”

    She further added, “It only takes four weeks to forget any love; someone who can keep their mobile phone off and cut off all contacts for four weeks can easily forget their love.”
    Nadia shared, “I often find myself advising young actors on love matters during shoots. It is an easy task to forget someone and live a peaceful life without them; it only takes four weeks to forget anyone.”

  • Imran Nazir’s battle against mercury poisoning

    Imran Nazir’s battle against mercury poisoning

    Imran Nazir, known as one of the most powerful hitters in Pakistan cricket history, recently opened up about his experience with mercury poisoning.
    He played a key role in Pakistan’s victory in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. Despite facing injuries and inconsistency in form, Nazir remains a popular figure in cricket history.
    In an interview with host Imran Ashraf, he revealed that he suffered from mercury sickness for six and a half years because someone intentionally put the toxic metal in his food.
    Imran talked about how the disease started, thinking it was just regular pain from playing cricket. He said, “I thought it was normal, like when you swing a bat and your muscle gets a bit twisted.” But the pain got worse and spread to all his joints. Worried, he went to see a doctor, and when he got the test results, the doctors told him to go back to Pakistan right away.
    Mercury poisoning happens when mercury gets inside the body through eating, breathing, or touching. It can cause joint pain, problems with thinking, and damage to organs. Imran’s experience shows how tough it can be for people with this sickness, and it reminds us how important it is to stay strong and have support from others during difficult times.

    Imran went through a tough time when he found out about his illness. “The doctors couldn’t explain what happened.” Even after trying different treatments, like herbal and spiritual healing, Imran realised there wasn’t an easy fix. He said, “I had the idea that there is no cure for this disease.” But through it all, Imran stayed strong. He believed, “Whenever difficulties arrive, you must always stay strong. No one could have ever imagined what I went through.”
    For six and a half years, Imran battled his illness, spending all his money to fight it. He said, “I spent all the money I had during that time.”
    Imran also talked about how the disease affected his personal life, mentioning that people treated him differently. He explained, “When times were tough, I saw how people changed.” Despite facing questions about his health, Imran showed appreciation for his wife’s constant support and care. He said, “I salute her honesty and how she took care of me during those difficult times.”

  • The seat-belt debate- it’s about time Pakistani celebrities were mindful about how their actions influence their fan base

    The seat-belt debate- it’s about time Pakistani celebrities were mindful about how their actions influence their fan base

    It started with a simple reminder: be mindful about wearing a seatbelt when driving with your children. Activist Shaneira Akram directly addressed actor Feroze Khan when he was driving with his infant in his lap, in a clip he posted himself. The activist stressed on the how this scenario put the child at risk had there been a car accident.

    “If your child is in your lap in the front seat and another car hits you even if only going 30km or less, your child will be flung from your arms, hit the dash or hit the windscreen or worse.”

    But this exchange had led to a heated back and forth with Feroze Khan writing that the activist doesn’t have “strength of understanding” after Shaneira called him out for tagging her in a video depicting animal cruelty.

    And now another actor Imran Ashraf has engaged in the argument when he was called out by Shaneira for taking inspiration from Feroze and uploading a clip of himself driving with his child in his lap without a seatbelt.
    “Please say that this is wrong or little lives are at risk!” she posted on her Instagram stories

    This all brings to question that why aren’t celebrities taking heed of Shaneira’s warning and dismissing it off as a simple controversy? As she had stressed in her posts, this was not about targeting a specific celebrity, or creating a spectacle out of something small, but shedding light on an urgent matter that has become a reason why many people lose their lives every year, all due to the careless mistake of not wearing a seat belt. As in 2020, WHO had shared in a report where data showed that around 1.93% of deaths in Pakistan were linked to road accidents. Similarly, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics published a report of traffic accidents in Pakistan from the years 2009 to 2020. The data they published revealed that more than 104,105 accidents had taken place out of which 44,959 were fatal. Moreover, due to such fatal accidents, 55,141 people had passed away and 126,144 were found seriously wounded.

    Given the stress of the situation, is it not better that celebrities take precaution of their platform and the influence they maintain over their fan base, and remain mindful that their actions can have consequences? Other celebrities had taken it on themselves to educate their fellow actors, as well as audiences on how a simple action like wearing a seatbelt can prevent something traumatizing from occurring. Actors Ayesha Omar and Fia Khan had responded to a post uploaded by Niche Lifestyle on their Instagram by sharing that it was absolutely tragic that seat belt precautions are not being taken seriously by celebrities.

    Fia had written: “Thank god @iamshaniera is being heard. Also these Parents who don’t bother to fasten the seatbelts when their kids are sitting at the back. What if you have to break all of a sudden? Where do you think God forbid your kid will go?”

    Social media users had also taken Shaneira’s side in the whole situation, and had criticized celebrities for refusing to understand the precariousness of the situation and not taking the issue of seat-belt safety properly.

    This twitter user pointed out how Pakistani roads can be described as “lawless” because of careless driving and little attention given to the importance of seat-belt precautions, and yet Pakistani celebrities choose to remain oblivious to this reality.

    Other users expressed the same disappointment that Pakistani celebrities refused to understand how dangerous driving without a seatbelt can be

    It’s disappointing that in 2022, driving safety is something public figures still need to be educated about. Anyone who is a household name would have a massive number of followers, and who could imitate their actions without a thought. Therefore argument should encourage celebrities to remember the power of their voice and be more mindful of the type of content they share with their audience.
