Singer Atif Aslam sang a few iconic songs of late singer Lata Mangeshkar at his recent concert in Dubai and paid a musical tribute to her.
In the video, shared by multiple fan accounts on Twitter and Instagram, the Tu Jaane Na crooner can be seen performing on stage as a large picture of Lata Mangeshkar is projected on the screen behind him.
Lata Mangeshkar was one of the most acclaimed playback singers in the world, with over 6,000 songs and a bunch of top honours to her credit. She was the first Indian to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Her career spanned nearly 80 years and she believed there is no retirement for an artist.
Model Bella Hadid, a vocal advocate of women’s rights and the rights of Palestinians, criticized the discrimination faced by Muslim women in India and elsewhere.
Taking to Instagram, the supermodel shared multiple news items from several countries and wrote, “In other forms of discrimination: I urge France, India , Quebec, Belgium, and any other countries in the world who are discriminatory against Muslim women, to rethink what decisions you have made or are trying to make in the future about a body that is not yours.”
She added, “It’s not your job to tell women what they should or shouldn’t wear, especially when it is pertaining to faith and safety.
It’s not your job to tell women whether or not they can STUDY or PLAY SPORTS, ESPECIALLY when it is pertaining to their faith and safety. Hijabi women in France are not allowed to wear their Hijab to school, to play sports, to swim, even on their ID pictures. You can’t be a civil worker or work in hospitals with a Hijab. To get an internship, most universities will say, the only way to get one is to take off the hijab. It’s ridiculous and really shows how Islamophobic the world is without even acknowledging it. In regards to these new Bills that are either in the process of being passed , or have already.”

A report published in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday has revealed that Instagram is harmful for teenage users. The report is based on Facebook studies over the past three years that examined how Instagram affects its young user base, with teenage girls being most notably harmed.
As per the WSJ report, among teenagers who reported suicidal thoughts, about 6 per cent in the US and 13 per cent in the UK traced them back to Instagram.
The researchers noted that many of these problems are unique to Instagram because it focuses heavily on body and lifestyle, meaning “social comparison is worse on Instagram”.
“Thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse,” the researchers reportedly wrote, as per CNBC.
The research also found “teens blame Instagram for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression”, a reaction researchers described as “unprompted and consistent across all groups”.
