    Urwa Hocane, Farhan Saeed welcome baby girl in Texas

    Urwa Hussain and singer/actor Farhan Saeed have become proud parents to their first baby girl. They shared the happy news on Instagram in a joint post.

    The tiny bundle of joy, named Jahan Aara was born on January 3, 2024. Urwa Hocane has written a beautiful note on becoming a mother.

    The famous couple announced in October 2023 that they were expecting their first child.

    An Instagram post shared by the two on October 6 was captioned, “Tonight we are 3, Masha Allah.”

    Urwa and Farhan got married in December 2016. Like most famous couples, the two have been hounded by rumors of separation. Neither of them directly spoke about it.

    For three years, the two didn’t share any pictures together on social media. But on Eid-ul-Fitr in 2023, they finally posted pictures together, proving that all the rumors about an impending breakup were false.

  • Bilal Qureshi’s perspective on actresses in revealing outfits

    Bilal Qureshi’s perspective on actresses in revealing outfits

    Actor Bilal Qureshi has become the latest Pakistani celebrity who thinks he has the right to tell women what to wear. In an interview laden with problematic quotes, he requested actresses in the industry not to wear revealing clothes at any event.

    Talking on Ahmed Fozan’s podcast, Qureshi elaborated on some of his previous statements.

    Bilal Qureshi made a comment on social media while praising actress Dur e Fishan Saleem’s dress at an award show which went viral. He said, “The best dressed lady at LSA”

    On his viral comment, the actor explained, “I feel that actresses should not opt for revealing clothes.” He went on to say that he doesn’t want to get into religious discussions but believes in following and respecting cultural norms, stressing that women can appear beautiful and graceful in modest clothing.
    The statement in itself is strange, because beauty and grace are perceived differently by everyone. Modest clothing does not ensure beauty or grace, neither does clothing of any other sort.

    Bilal then pointed out that his wife, Uroosa Qureshi, and his sisters always look good without revealing their skin.

    We are glad that the women in his family look good, but really, his opinions do not matter to the vast majority of women.

    “One of my fellow actresses shared a picture of herself in inappropriate clothes on social media, on which she was upset because of the criticism, so I told her that she should not share this picture on social media. If your dress is really against our cultural norms then people will necessarily criticize it.”

    Director Karan Johar has declared Animal as the best film of the year, stressing that despite his own 2023 romance Rocky Aur Rani, he strongly believes Animal is unparalleled. According to Hindustan Times, Karan stated, “I cannot disagree with you more because Animal is the best film of the year.”
    He compared it to the time when he praised Kabir Singh and faced judgment. Karan said, “I thought, ‘I’m going to say something and I’m going to get bad looks from certain people, but I don’t care anymore.”
    Karan Johar explained why he is so passionate about Animal, emphasizing its bold and conviction-driven storytelling that defies traditional norms in popular cinema. He praised a unique sequence in the film where a song is played while the hero is getting beaten up, highlighting the cleverness in the storytelling. Johar added, “Animal’s popularity and acceptance, in my opinion, are revolutionary. It is a conviction that I would like to possess.”

    Pakistani actress and former supermodel Iffat Umar dared problematic television writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar to back up his words in a challenge. During a recent TV appearance, she shared her thoughts on different subjects including Qamar, describing him as narrow-minded and bitter, choosing not to discuss him further.

    “I have never said anything about Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s personality, I disagree with him only that he insulted a woman sitting on national television and this disagreement is not only because he insulted a woman. If he had done this to a man, I would have reacted the same way because you cannot abuse someone on national television.”

    She added: “If he has the courage, he should come forward and prove that I am a bad woman (‘Do Number Aurat’).”

    “I have never faced such a dangerous situation, however as I was sitting I thought that I should go to the hospital immediately, but then I thought that I should go home first.”

    When his wife Deepti saw him in this condition, they left for the hospital within 10 minutes.

    The actor said that he collapsed as soon as he reached the hospital gate, suffering a heart attack.

    “I was clinically dead for a few minutes,” Shreyas Talpade said.
    Clinical death means the cessation of blood flow and respiration when the heart stops beating normally.

    Shreyas said, “I have never entered the hospital, I have never seen this situation.”
    He advised fans not to take their health for granted.

    “Jaan hai toh jahan hai. Such an experience changes your outlook on life,” he firmly stated.
