    3. Memes from the Last episode of ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’

    Remember, when MPTH lead character Danish was talking even after the heart rate monitor showed a straight line. From the “straight line” to “Mehwish slap” and  ‘do takkay ki aurat’, all the memes were quite lit. Memes then light up the audience after a dull finale.

    8. Bakhtwar Bhutto Zardari’s Engagment

    PPP’s Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari got engaged this year and all eyes were on her corona-exclusive wedding. Her engagement card became controversial when it required guests to provide a coronavirus test result before coming to the engagement but the talk of the town was her shawl. The shawl was embroidered with memories of her family, her favourite things and also her love for food.

    9. Nawaz Sharif eating pizza in London

    Former PM Nawaz, despite conviction in corruption cases, was allowed to travel abroad for medical treatment.

    While criticism continues to pour in amid government’s efforts to bring him back, his daughter Maryam Nawaz seems to believe none of the stuff he has been seen doing is bad for his health.

    10. Photoshoped picture of Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s hand

    PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz was recently trolled by social media users after she shared a supposedly edited picture of the much-awaited Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) rally of the joint opposition in Lahore.
