    ‘Speaks Nonsense, ignores husband, tries to become Benazir’: Nausheen slams Maryam Nawaz

    Actor Nausheen Shah took to her instagram stories to take jibes at the Vice President of Muslim League Nawaz, Maryam Nawaz.

    The Deewar-e-shab star wrote, “Being Maryam Nawaz is so fun. Just wake up and ignore your husband. Go out in protocol of your father’s slave, speak nonsense, and try to become Benazir by shouting to the limits of the throat. Sleep.”

    Recently Nausheen adviced politician Firdous Aashiq Awan, on Tabish Hashmi’s chat show, “She must do less makeup and focus on politics”. 

    PML-N leader Hina Parvez Butt grilled Nausheen for her remarks. Butt sarcastically hit out at her by saying that being Nausheen is a joke as she wakes up, rants and strokes controversy.

    Earlier when a clash started off between Nauman Niaz and veteran cricketer Shoaib Akhtar on national television, the Pehli Si Mohabat diva, Nausheen Shah extended her to support to the ‘national hero of Pakistan’.

    She took to her Instagram stories and stated:

    In an exclusive conversation with The Current, the Deewar-e-Shab star mentioned that Nauman is just a journalist not the owner of the channel and hence he should behave and conduct himself accordingly.

    On the work front, Nausheen was last seen in Bebasi co-starring Alizeh Shah and Ali Rehman Khan.

    Recently he also lashed out on Reham for her latest tweet about actors supporting Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    Reham took a dig at celebrities who are supporting Imran Khan amidst the No-motion battle.

    Muneeb was quick to hit back at her by saying that when she produced the Hania Aamir starrer Janaan, she took advantage of being Imran’s wife.

    The Yeh Na Thi Hamari Kismat star termed Reham as a graceless ex.

    In a recent development in the PTV Sports controversy, PTV has sent a legal notice worth Rs100 million to ‘Rawalpindi Express’ after he stepped down during the live transmission of Game On Hai.

    Akhtar, 46, after receiving a legal notice for ‘breaching his contract’, expressed disappointment with the state-owned television.

    Taking to Twitter, the former cricketer turned analyst wrote: “Utterly Disappointed. After miserably failing to safeguard my respect and repute while I was working for PTV, they have now sent me a recovery notice. I am a fighter & will not give up & fight this legal battle. My lawyer Salman Niazi will take this forward according to law.”

    PTV reportedly sent the recovery notice to Akhtar for “being absent from shows during the T20 World Cup and for resigning from his position without serving a notice period”.

    He was served Rs100 million defamation notice due to the loss incurred by the state-run sports channel, after his appearance on an Indian news television channel in Emirates.

    Furthermore, PTV also demanded a three-month salary payment from the former fastest bowler for his non-notice period resignation.

    ‘It is my fault’: Dr Nauman Niaz apologises to Shoaib Akhtar

    Pakistanm Televison (PTV) Sports anchor Dr Nauman Niaz has finally apologised to Shoaib Akhtar for his verbal spat during a live TV show.

    There was a strong backlash from Pakistani cricket fans, after Nauman Niaz had told Akhtar to leave the show during a live transmission in the presence of cricket veterans such as Sir Vivian Richards and David Gower. People demanded that Nauman be fired for insulting a cricket legend like this.

    The panel was discussing the Pakistan-New Zealand T20 World Cup match, which Pakistan won by five wickets.

    In a statement on a YouTube channel on Thursday, the TV host said that the reaction to what he did on air was justified and he said, “I apologised thousands of times over my conduct.”

    “Whatever the reason, I had no right to do all this on-air, it was my fault. Shoaib Akhtar is a star and I love his cricket,” Niaz continued to take responsibility for his actions.

    Nauman added: “Shoaib was contracted with us on the basis of exclusivity. People thought I was just a host but they don’t know that I also sign salaries of all employees, including Shoaib. It was an overlapping [on my part] and again there is no justification for it.”

    Niaz also shared how his father was also upset about his behaviour. Akhtar also stated on a programme on Geo News, ‘ Jashn-e-Cricket’ that he has forgiven Dr Niaz for the benefit of the country and state institutions.

    Earlier, PTV also launched an inquiry into the spat and took Dr Niaz and Akhtar off-air until completion of the probe. While reacting to the news, Akhtar said that he resigned on-air.

    Akhtar resigned on-air and walked off the show later.

    Many came to Akhtar’s defence after the incident:

    The Punjab Nahi Jaoungi star said: “Arguments happen during TV shows but no host tells their guest to leave. That was no way to address any guest, let alone one of the biggest international stars Pakistan has ever produced. What happened, happened; Dr Noman should have at the very least apologised to @shoaib100mph.”

    While Ahmad Ali Butt called out Nauman for not handling the situation well as a host and he also added that “no matter what the excuse is, you can not insult them (the guests).”

    The Jawani Phir Nahi Aani actor also urged Nauman to apologise from Shoaib Akhtar.

    Not only him, but the netizens are also very angry at Nauman for insulting the legend and demand his apology from the former.

    TV host Dr Nauman Niaz and former Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar indulged in a tense and aggressive banter in a live show on Pakistan Television (PTV) soon after the Pakistan and New Zealand match.

    ‘I resign from PTV’: Shoaib Akhtar, Nauman Niaz exchange hot words on air

    On Pakistan’s state-run sports channel PTV Sports, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar and host Dr Nauman Niaz had a hot exchange of words during the live transmission of the Pakistan and New Zealand match.

    After the nail-biting T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Dr Nauman asked Shoaib a question, which turned into a fight when Dr Niaz asked Akhtar to leave the show.

    The clash started off when Nauman asked Shoaib Akhtar a question. Shoaib said Hassan Ali should not have bowled in the beginning as the ball was reversing later.

    Shoaib asked Nauman about Shaheen Shah Afridi’s ball reversing. “Did you see the game?”

    Nauman replied, “Yes, I saw the match.” In response, Shoaib Akhtar said again, “Were you lost?”

    “Aqib Javed brought Shaheen Shah Afridi and made him a part of the player development program,” said Shoaib. Here, Nauman said in the middle of Shoaib’s speech that “Shaheen Afridi had played under-19 for Pakistan.” On this Shoaib said, “I am talking about Haris Rauf. Nauman Niaz reiterated that Shaheen had played for Pakistan. Shoaib Akhtar responded rather seriously, “Sir please! Somebody came to work.”

    “You are becoming rude. I didn’t mean to say this … but if you’re getting over-smart then go. I’m saying this on-air,” responded Nauman.

    The host took a break from the show. After they returned on-air, Shoaib was once again asked a question by Nauman.

    “The way I was treated on national television, I don’t think I should be sitting here. I am resigning from PTV,” said Shoaib before walking out from the studio.

    After the squabble, there were speculations that the entire fight was pre-planned. Shoaib took to Twitter and wrote, “Multiple clips are circulating on social media so I thought I should clarify. Dr Nauman was obnoxious and rude when he asked me to leave the show, it was embarrassing especially when you have legends like sir Vivian Richards and David Gower sitting on the set.”

    “I tried to save everyone from embarrassment by saying I was pulling Dr Nauman’s leg with this mutual understanding that dr noman will also politely apologise and we will move on with the show, which he refused to do. Then I had no other choice,” added Shoaib.
