    Former military dictator General (r) Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday was handed death sentence in the high treason case against him.

    According to reports, the court, in its short order, said that it analysed complaints, records, arguments and facts in the case for three months, adding that it found Musharraf guilty of high treason according to Article 6 of the constitution.

    While everyone including members of the media, civil society and politicians had thoughts to share on the matter, people were very curious to know what Mehwish Hayat has to say on the matter given that she had earlier tweeted in favour of Musharraf and was brutally trolled for it.

  • Mehwish Hayat is thinking of becoming an artist by ‘taping karela’ to wall

    Mehwish Hayat is thinking of becoming an artist by ‘taping karela’ to wall

    The banana duct-taped to a wall has been an internet sensation from the last few days and honestly, we all have wondered how this piece of artwork can be worth $120,000 equivelant to approximately Rs18618312.

    Mehwish Hayat voiced our collective concern on social media.

    Mehwish wrote that she was thinking of becoming an artist and taping a karela to the wall.

    “If the Banana was sold for $120K wonder how much that would make…,” she wrote.

    The work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan was sold for $120,000 last week at Miami’s Art Basel.

    What’s interesting is that the banana was, in fact, a work of
    art by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan titled “Comedian” and sold to
    a French collector for $120,000.

    In a video posted on his Instagram account, David Datuna, who
    describes himself as a Georgian-born American artist living in New York, walks
    up to the banana and pulls it off the wall with the duct tape attached.

    “Art performance … hungry artist,” he said, as he
    peeled the fruit and took a bite. “Thank you, very good.”

  • Abrar ul Haq’s new song ft. Mehwish Hayat is very ‘chamkeeli’

    Who needs Bollywood dance songs when we’ve got Abrarul Haq. After Billo, Abrar has given us another wedding jam, though to be honest, it doesn’t quite match up. But then again, Billo is iconic.

    Abrar’s latest song Chamkeeli featuring Mehwish Hayat and Shahveer Jafry as the bride and groom on their wedding day is fun, lively and gives out energetic happy vibes.

    Chamkeeli is picturised on a strong, empowered woman, played by Mehwish who knows what she wants on her wedding day. Mehwish looks every bit the rockstar bride in a bright, red gharara and sunglasses in some of the shots. Shahveer plays the shy groom.

    Some fans speculated that the video shows an older woman marrying a younger boy and praised Abrar for choosing a progressive topic as the backdrop of his video.

    And what’s even more interesting is that Mehwish has also sung a few lines of the song.

    Watch the video here:

  • Man eats $120,000 piece of art

    Man eats $120,000 piece of art

    The world truly has gone bananas.

    A performance artist shook up the crowd at the Art Basel show in Miami Beach on Saturday when he grabbed a banana that had been duct-taped to a gallery wall and ate it.

    What’s interesting is that the banana was, in fact, a work of art by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan titled “Comedian” and sold to a French collector for $120,000.

    In a video posted on his Instagram account, David Datuna, who describes himself as a Georgian-born American artist living in New York, walks up to the banana and pulls it off the wall with the duct tape attached.

    “Art performance … hungry artist,” he said, as he peeled the fruit and took a bite. “Thank you, very good.”

    Datuna’s action left some bystanders in fits. Soon after, a flustered gallery official took him in for custody. Luckily the matter was resolved amicably and no legal action was planned against him.

    As it turns out, the value of the work is in the certificate of authenticity – the banana is meant to be replaced.

    A replacement banana was taped to the wall about 15 minutes after Datuna’s stunt.

    Meanwhile, here’s what Mehwish Hayat has to say on the matter.

  • ‘Innocent till proven guilty’: Mehwish Hayat defends General (r) Musharraf

    Mehwish Hayat who has lately been actively voicing her political thoughts, in a recent tweet, defended former military dictator and President General (r) Pervez Musharraf.

    “This man was our President and guided us through some very difficult times. Like him or loathe him, he deserves the opportunity to be heard,” she wrote in her tweet, asserting that he deserves dignity.

    When someone demanded that the former president Asif Ali Zardari also be given the same opportunity, Mehwish said, “Nobody is above the law, all that I am saying is give him a chance to be heard at least. Guilt or otherwise is the decision of the courts.”

    Designer Maheen Khan agreed with Mehwish’s point of view.

    Meanwhile, Gen Musharraf, who is currently in the hospital for the treatment of an unknown ailment, released a video from his hospital saying that he has not been heard and is being “victimised.”

    The former military dictator is facing a high treason case in Pakistan for implementing emergency rule and suspending the constitution in 2007. The verdict for the case will reportedly be announced by a special court in Islamabad on December 17 after hearing the arguments of the government’s new prosecution team.

    In the video message, Musharraf had said, “As far as this [treason] case is concerned, this is absolutely baseless. I have served my country for 10 years. I have fought for my country. This [treason] is the case in which I have not been heard and I have been victimised.”

    Previously, Khadija Shah of Élan had also tweeted out in favour of Gen Musharraf.

    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.
