Actor Ahmad Ali Butt took to his Instagram stories to take a jibe at PM Shehbaz Sharif for load shedding across country.
It is being reported that cue to higher demand and reduced generation due to fuel shortages, reduced gas supplies to power plants, Pakistan is experiencing 6-10 hours of electricity load-shedding.
Prime Minister (PM) Shahbaz Sharif and former Minister of Energy Hammad Azhar exchanged accusing remarks on Twitter.
“Mian Nawaz Sharif’s government halted the worst load-shedding in five years,” the Prime Minister declared in a tweet. The PTI administration failed to procure fuel on schedule or fix power plants. As a result, present load shedding is in effect. Power generation costs the population Rs100 billion per month due to inefficient plants. “We’re working on it”.
The Punjab Nahi Jaungi star told PM that the problem of load-shedding that he has claimed to be working on, wasn’t during Imran Khan’s tenure.
In February 2021, PTI MNA and host Aamir Liaquat Hussain posted a video on his official Instagram handle in which he hit out at trolls for comments on his viral videos with his third wife, Syeda Dania.
He tagged actor Ahmad in the caption.

On the work front, Ahmed will be seen next in Punjabi Hatte Dinde Chakk opposite Neeru Bajwa and Gippy Grewal.

Politician and television personality Aamir Liaquat Hussain recently opened up about his marriages in an interview. The Aalim Online star stated that people judge because of his political and personal decisions.
Aamir mentioned that he marries young to save them from the ‘sins of youth, TikTok and social media”, which according to him has ruined young girls. He believes that it is his duty to marry young women to give them a husband and also a father figure.

He shared his statements from the interview on his Instagram handle.
Veteran actor Saba Faisal’s daughter-in-law has posted a series of cryptic posts on her Instagram handle. Netizens are assuming that these posts are targeted at her in-laws with whom she has shared problematic equation in the past.
You can get all the exclusive details in our new show, Maslay Aur Masala:
EarlierSaba hit back at netizens for blaming her for Salman and Neha’s differences.
Saba’s son Salman married Neha in 2019 in a series of lavish events. The ceremony was attended by a plethora of celebrities including Cheekh‘s Saba Qamar. Earlier in July 2021 gossip mills were abuzz with the separation and divorce rumours of the young couple.
Last year social Media was abuzz with Neha Malik and Salman Faisal’s separation and divorce rumours, however Saba Faisal’s daughter-in-law has opened up on the controversy.
Netizens additionally blamed Salman’s mother actor Saba for being the reason of their differences.
Neha then cleared the air about their alleged separation. She took to Instagram and congratulated her husband on his splendid performance in CPL and the victory of his team ‘Islamabad Nova’.
She additionally answered probably the most requested query which was about their separation and denied the rumors. Neha confirmed that they haven’t parted ways.
“Those asking about the ‘patch up’. We never broke up or had any personal fights,” she wrote on her Instagram stories.
On the work front, Salman was last seen in Dil Mom Ka Diya opposite Neelam Munir.
Maryam rose to fame with HUM TV’sDiyar-e-Dil, starring alongside Osman Khalid Butt, Mikaal Zulfiqar, Sanam Saeed and Maya Ali. She was last seen in Jhooti as Iqra Aziz’s sister-in-law and Fitrat.
Celebrity couple of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza appeared together on Aagha Ali and Hina Altaf’s chat show, The Couple Show.
On being asked about that one male star that Shoaib would never want his wife Sania to work with on-screen, Shoaib was quick to take Adnan Siddiqui’s name. He told Sania that he will make her understand why in private, to which Sania replied that ‘I know him and I think I got it, why.”
The host Aagha Ali also said that we all got it.
Actor Adnan Siddiqui has a reputation of being a woman charmer and some even term him as a casanova.
On HSY’s show the Meray Paas Tum Ho star revealed that his Ahista Ahista co-star Mawra Hocane was warned about his flirtacious nature so she was being extra conscious while shooting with him in America.
During the rapid fire round of the show, Aagha asked Shaoib about his favourite actress, to which the former captain asnwered that in Bollywood, it is Kareena Kapoor, and in Pakistan its Hania Aamir. He added that she is very young though.
After creating a stir with a sizzling photoshoot alongside Ayesha Omer, Malik recently paired up with the Dilruba diva.
As a follow up question when the host asked him about an actress he would like to romance on-screen, he said that he would prefer Ushna Shah and mentioned that she is his good friend.
Earlier Shoaib was praised for his reel chemistry with the Bulbulay diva.
A string of claims began when model Manal Saleem took to her Instagram stories to state that clients should avoid making her shoot with any actress or celebrity due to their “self entitled attitudes.”
While Manal refrained from naming the actress in question who reportedly called her a “dou takkay ki model,” she did state that people guessing who the actress was were not too far from hitting the nail on the head.
The situation unraveled further when make-up artist Omayr Waqar weighed in on the matter as well, stating that “It’s just one person – not all actresses are the same.”
This controversy sparked a debate between the general public, who not only took turns trying to guess the individual being discussed, but also shared how they felt that entitlement and an overtly inflamed sense of pride are traits that are both unnecessary and unbecoming of any person – especially when it is a person in a position of relative power.
Within a span of barely two days, however, accusations grew from being merely speculative in nature, to others within the industry sharing their experiences.
Models Mydah Raza and Mushk Kaleem took to their Instagram stories to discuss how “this actress is notorious for being unpleasant on set,” like an alleged bully, and how the encounter spoke more to the actress’ own insecurities.
Stylist Anila Murtaza shared an Instagram story with a thought bubble with the name ‘Sana’ in it, and makeup artist Ikram Gohar stated that he knew it was none other than Sana Javed being discussed, calling her a “horrible and unprofessional actress.” Make-up artist Rhyan Thomas applauded those speaking up, sharing that he had the worst experience working with the star, stating that “people like them think no end to themselves.”
Shortly after, make-up artist Ikram Gohar went into great detail to further explain his stance, talking about how Sana Javed is “horrible and unprofessional,” and he will never work with her again.
Moreover, Ikram talked about Sana allegedly calling him to a place in DHA for her nikkah makeup trial, during which she mistreated him over an eyeshadow look, and refused to let him use the washroom at the place they were in, urging him to utilize a rest room at a restaurant in front of the space in which the trial was ongoing.
He stressed upon the fact that the industry consists of many names that maintain professional decorum, regardless of their star power.
In addition to this, Rhyan Thomas shared an incident where he was called in by models Sana Javed and Sadaf Kanwal for the PISA awards in Dubai, where Sana allegedly displayed behavior that was both unprofessional and petty.
Given that two models had to be catered to, timings were set accordingly by Rhyan. However, as per Rhyan’s recollection, upon his arrival, Sana claimed to be suffering from a migraine and went to take a hot bath that lasted an hour. After this, she allegedly wanted to have hookah, for which she took Rhyan to the lobby to spend time with other celebrities. This ordeal took another two hours, during which Rhyan claims that he was in touch with Sadaf as well.
Upon heading back to her hotel room, Sana allegedly “threw a fit,” due to her being late for the red carpet. With Sadaf’s calls alerting Rhyan, Sana apparently confiscated Rhyan’s phone, and “put the hotel’s landline on hold” to ensure there was no contact from anyone.
Here, Rhyan states that he was “held hostage,” and Sana reportedly spent the rest of the time demeaning his skills, also placing blame for the process to have taken 8 hours upon the make-up artist. In all of this, Sadaf thought that Rhyan had bailed on her, and did her hair and make-up herself, which the make-up artist claims is what Sana wanted due to “insecurity.”
Durefishan Saleem shared Rhyan Thomas’ post, stating that “harassment is a big NO,” regardless of the gender of the instigator.
With more and more encounters coming forth with regards to this, various figures from the industry are speaking up. Model Fareeha Sheikh recently took to Instagram to compile a post about alleged misbehavior by Sana Javed.
According to Fareeha’s post, the unfortunate incident took place a few months ago at Mian Saad’s studio where multiple shoots can take place. Fareeha arrived first and got her make-up done on the day when Sana Javed had to shoot for a designer at a separate set.
According to Fareeha, Sana arrived three hours late, and upon seeing Fareeha in the room, “stormed out” and “threw a tantrum,” stating that she’s leaving due to another girl being present in the room. Sana reportedly stated that she would not come back till Fareeha was “kicked out,” upon which the designer Sana was shooting with “barged in and started screaming” at Fareeha, leaving her shell-shocked. This prompted the make-up artist and Saad to ask the designer to leave the space.
Fareeha makes it a point to end her account by stating that she hopes “Sana Javed learns that shit comes back to you one way or the other.”
Mahnoor Sheikh also weighed in on this, stating that Sana is “arrogant, disrespectful, [and] rude.” She, too, shared an incident where Sana allegedly did not want to sit in the same make-up room as her and two other models while shooting a TVC.
Prominent female celebrities have shared their stance on the on-going controversy and schooled the Pyaray Afzal diva for her conduct.

Hareem’s counsel filed an urgent petition against the FIA’s investigation into a money laundering case on behalf of her husband, Syed Bilal Hussain Shah. After which the SHC issued a stay order.

Hareem would join the investigation as soon as she returns to Pakistan, according to the lawyer.
“No coercive action shall be taken against the petitioner till the next hearing,” the court remarked.
On Jan 28, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had asked multiple banks to freeze accounts of TikToker Hareem Shah.

Actor Zarnish Khan recently appeared on The Current Life series. In the interview while talking about getting married at the age of 17, She said she would recommend marrying early because one is very flexible and adaptable at that age.
Zarnish khan’s statement went viral on Social media.
Zarnish has now posted a video to clarify her statement. “Having an opinion is okay, however, imposing it on someone is absurd! Learn to be civil if you wanna co-exist in this twisted world. #EarlyMarriages #RecentStatement,” she captioned her video.
“So, very recently I made a statement in which I said I believe early marriages are good because its easy for you to adjust. All the feminists are after me, a lot of people have a lot of things to say about it,” she said in the video.
She continued by saying that marrying at an early age is not only good for women but men also. “I said that it’s good if you get married in an early age because it becomes easier for you to settle in.”
“Marriage is all about compromises, not from one side, I don’t say only for women but also for men. For that you need acceptability and patience that fades away with time. In that regard I think if it happens early, it’s not ridiculous.”
The Sun Yaara star added, “However, I also said everyone has a different mindset and by the end of the day it’s a personal choice. Whoever wants to marry whenever is fine, that’s it. I’m very civil that way, I feel that if I have a certain opinion about something, it’s okay, that’s just my opinion, that’s just how I feel. Maybe based on my experience, I don’t know there could be so many possible reasons for that, the way I think, right?”
“And same goes for everyone out there who’s going to see this message so it’s alright. It’s okay for me to have an opinion that I believe in, it works for me. I do not ask you to change yours and cheers on that. I hope we all learn a little something here,” she concluded her message.
