  • Younis Khan’s shocking revelations

    Younis Khan’s shocking revelations

    Former captain of Pakistan Men’s cricket team Younis Khan has said that if he had to resign from his batting coach position over the incident with Hassan Ali, he would have done so four or five months ago. “My resignation does not match with the rhythm of the incident with Ali.”

    “I was told that Hassan Ali was sorry, so I went to him myself,” Khan said in 11th Hour.

    Explaining the reasons for his resignation as batting coach, the former captain said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did not tell him about the bio-secure bubble for England tour. He had a surgery but he was informed later that his flight has been booked.

    Khan said the doctor’s call came on June 22 that you have not joined the bio-secure bubble, I told him I have surgery I can’t come in the bio-secure bubble.

    “I got another call. I can’t tell you his name yet. I told him I have surgery. I can’t join. I am exhausted. He said if you don’t come, there could be a situation like Muhammad Hafeez. The caller said that just like what happened to Hafeez, it can also happen to you,” shared the 2009 T20 World Cup captain.

    “I told him that I am not Hafeez but Younis Khan and I have no other option, if I will not be respected then how will a player be respected,” he questioned.

    The former captain further said: “I complained to the MD PCB about the NHPC coaches, telling Wasim Khan how outsiders were giving tips when we were there. I was the batting coach of the national team and I was being ignored. If I’ll go to the PCB again, I will write everything on a contract.”

    Host Wasim Badami asked if it was Zakir Khan who called him from PCB. Khan said that he resigned because of the call but will not reveal that person’s name.

    2009 uprising: “Shahid Afridi may be the mastermind if he has said that”

    Younis shared about the 2009 uprising that anyone could have been the mastermind of the incident. “I don’t know, it seems that the whole matter was about the captaincy.”

    The former captain said that the one who spoke in front of the PCB Chairman would be the mastermind of the incident, and if Shahid Afridi spoke, then maybe he was the mastermind.

    He said that Afridi came to Lahore from Karachi to meet the PCB Chairman. A player also took the Holy Quran from me to take an oath against me. A player was sent to me to bring the Holy Quran. He told me that he wants to recite the Quran before the match.

    Badami asked if the player who came to get the Holy Quran was Umar Akmal. On this, Younis Khan said that there are big leaks in the PCB and news has always been leaking.

    Khan said that if a player makes a mistake in the match, you cannot ask him, otherwise, problems will arise. Doubts will arise. And next time, if the player gets out by hitting a short, then what should be done, if the player does not ask for guidance, then there will be suspicions of spot-fixing.

    In response to a question, Khan said that for the last five years he used to stay locked in his room and play his cricket.

  • Italian footballer, Locatelli, latest player to snub Coca-Cola

    Italian footballer, Locatelli, latest player to snub Coca-Cola

    Italian footballer Manuel Locatelli is the latest footballer to snub Coca-Cola in a press conference.

    It’s been quite an intriguing journey for Coca-Cola, one of the sponsors of Euro 2020 tournament. After being snubbed by Cristiano Ronaldo at a press conference ahead of Portugal vs Hungary match, the soft drink company was subjected to a similar rejection by Italy’s midfielder.

    Locatelli arrived at the post-match news conference after producing a Man-of-the-Match performance against Switzerland in Italy’s 3-0 win. On spotting the two Coca-Cola bottles placed in front of him, the midfielder decided to remove them from the sight. Locatelli also chuckled a little as he took the bottles out of focus, aware of the stir such an act had created when Ronaldo had done the same a couple of days ago.

    The Italian midfielder, who scored two goals for Italy in the team’s second group-stage match, then picked up a water bottle and put it right in the middle, echoing Ronaldo’s sentiments that one should be drinking water over aerated drinks, but in a subtle manner.

    Earlier, Ronaldo’s Coca-Cola snub had hurt the beverage maker’s brand value quite significantly. It was reported that soon after the Portuguese footballer’s act, Coca-Cola’s stock prices crashed and the brand ended up losing a whopping USD 4 billion from its market value. As Ronaldo urged the world to adopt a healthier lifestyle, the move had huge repercussions.

    Ronaldo and Locatelli aren’t the only ones to snub an official sponsor of the European championships. France midfielder Paul Pogba displayed a similar approach as he picked up a Heineken beer bottle and placed it behind the news conference table.

    After Ronaldo’s gesture, Coca-Cola was forced to release a statement saying: ‘Everyone is entitled to their drink preferences’ and that people have their ‘tastes and needs’.

    Even a Euro 2020 spokesperson addressed the chatter around the topic saying: “Players are offered water, alongside Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, on arrival at our press conferences.”

    Meanwhile, UEFA warned that the teams could be fined if they move drinks at Euro 2020 news conferences.

  • ‘A man ejaculating on a woman’s picture is made viral content’: Hania Aamir on netizen’s hypocrisy

    ‘A man ejaculating on a woman’s picture is made viral content’: Hania Aamir on netizen’s hypocrisy

    Ever since Hania Aamir posted a video with the Wajahat brothers, she’s constantly been the talk of the town and trending on social media. After Asim Azhar’s tweet about Hania, the exes fiercely indulged in an online feud, after which several celebrities, from the Pakistani drama and film industry, started posting their views on the issue. After a lengthy online battle, Hania posted that men think it’s funny to demean women, “Where a woman showing affection to her loved ones is wrong but a man ejaculating on a woman’s picture on video on the internet is retweeted and made viral content.”

    The ‘ejaculation comment’ raised eyebrows and was apparently referring to an ‘incident’ during one of Hania’s live sessions. Recently, during an Instagram live hosted by Hania, a man joined in on the live session and started masturbating while looking at her picture. A visibly disturbed Aamir ended up going offline to process what had just happened. After the live session, some suggested the video had been doctored or edited.

    The Hania-Asim War

    The issue started when after Hania posted the controversial Wajahat brothers video. Asim Azhar, who allegedly dated Hania for a significant period of time, took to his Twitter account and posted a GIF that people assumed was directed towards Hania.

    The GIF posted by Asim said: “Bal Bal Bach Gaya.”

    After few hours Hania tweeted, “You can either be a celebrity or a bitter ex with no dignity.”

    Soon after the exchange of words between the two, Pakistani celebrities were quick to take sides.

    Fahad Mustafa, Mirza Gohar Rashid, Ali Zafar, Danyal Zafar, Ali Rehman Khan, Shahveer Jaffry and Dananeerr Mobeen are supporting Hania.

    “Disgusted with the way people are treating actresses of our industry if you don’t like what they do, you have a choice not to follow them but stop judging and trolling,” said Fahad Mustafa while addressing the issue on Twitter.

    Similarly, other celebs extended their support to the Ishqiya actress.

    On the other hand, Sajal Aly, Asad Siddiqui, Saba Qamar, Zara Noor Abbas are supporting Asim.

    The whole fraternity is now questioning cyber bullying and private lives being discussed publicly and how such issues should be taken up on social media.

  • Jannat Mirza slams veteran actress Bushra Ansari for calling her ‘Jahil’

    Jannat Mirza slams veteran actress Bushra Ansari for calling her ‘Jahil’

    TikToker Jannat Mirza blasted veteran actress, Bushra Ansari for calling her ‘Jahil’, after a post of hers disrespecting the Christianity symbol circulated on the web.

    Jannat uploaded a video where she was wearing an accessory that she received in a PR package. According to Jannat, the package consisted of a piece that had a cross sign and butterflies on it. According to her, when she shot her videos, she didn’t notice it. However, once she uploaded the video, she found out about it through the comment section. As soon as she realised the seriousness of the matter, she removed the videos and apologised for her unintentional mistake on her Instagram handle.

    “To my Christian fans & friends, I am really sorry i didn’t notice the chain at all. I heartedly apologise to all of you. Please accept it,” said Jannat in her Instagram story.

    Mirza also admitted that she does not feel any shame in apologising. Since she was at fault, she accepted it and sincerely apologised for it. She hoped that her fans will forgive her and not hold a grudge.

    This Jannat Christian locket incident was noticed by senior actress Bushra Ansari who expressed her opinion regarding the entire issue, saying: “Aik dur fitty mun to banta hay in jahil stars par. Afsos Islam ka pata na kisi aur religion ka.“

    This flared up Jannat’s close friend and TikToker Umer Butt as well. He took to his Instagram stories to addressed Ansari’s comments.

    Butt referred Ansari as “Amma Jee” and demanded that the veteran actress should apologise to the TikToker for her harsh comments.

    Referring to Mirza’s apology earlier, he elaborated that since she made a mistake and apologised, Ansari needs to do the same for hurting Jannat’s sentiments. He hoped that Ansari would understand and do it soon.

    To support Jannat against Ansari over the Christian locket controversy, the TikToker’s sister Alishbah Anjum also took to her Instagram stories by directly addressing Ansari.

    She took a sarcastic tone as she addressed her argument regarding Islam and ridiculed Ansari for being more Islamic. She also dubbed Ansari as someone to whom people look up to so she should avoid such statements. She then went on to share her two cents on what Islam allows and what it prohibits.

    Jannat also addressed Ansari and the Christian locket controversy.

    This isn’t the first time Mirza has used titles like Amma Jee to address someone she was feuding with. A while ago Mirza got caught up with Waqar Zaka and she addressed him as uncle to which Zaka responded by terming her Chachee Lasori.

    Meanwhile, Mirza also requested that Ansari focus on her own actions instead of the Christian locket issue, before critiquing someone else. She also shared her anger towards Ansari for wishing death upon her faming and verbally abusing her.

    She then went on to reshare the apology that she had posted after promoting the chain with the cross on it.

    Mirza explained that she is familiar with the importance of the cross for the Christian community and she respects it. She just didn’t notice it. She apologised once again.

    Bushra Ansari later responded to the criticism of the TikTokers on

    ” target=”_blank”>Instagram, saying: “Afsos! For everything going around us. I just saw the picture and instantly got emotional about the disgrace to minorities. Without seeing or knowing that it was Jannat Mirza’s unintentional mistake and she had already apologised.”

    “I saw it late and just conveyed that Islam teaches to respect other religions too. This was the point. And seriously telling you I didn’t even know her name. But when I saw people’s comments that she said sorry, I instantly deleted the post. So, kids behave yourself. It was a confusion exactly like she did that without realising it. I’m not teaching Islam. But we have to be just humans and respect humanity. Young kids are going to live and enjoy this life longer than us but you have to respect your elders, even if they scold you for your mistakes,” she added.

    Priyanka Chopra spills her secret to a happy marriage

    Take some tips from Priyanka Chopra for a happy marriage.

    “Secret behind a good marriage?” said Chopra while speaking to Vogue Australia. “I am just two years in, so I would be able to tell you only so much. According to me, it is conversation.”

    “Actually sitting down, being able to speak to each other and spend time with each other. And actually enjoy it all,” added Chopra-Jonas.

    Priyanka got married to Nick Jonas in December 2018 in two grand ceremonies.

    When asked about how she managed to plan the “world’s most epic wedding,” Chopra said: “The secret behind [the] world’s most epic wedding was doing it in two months.”

    “Because we did not have time to think about anything. So, by the time it was done, it was just perfect, epic,” she added.

    Priyanka and Nick first got in touch via Twitter and soon started speaking to each other over text and Whatsapp. Their first meeting took place at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2017 following which they met in Los Angeles, where they watched Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl.

    Chopra recently flew to LA from London to be by her husband’s side after he broke a rib and helped him present at the Billboard Music Awards (BMAs).

    Meanwhile, Priyanka also opened up about the failures she has faced in her professional life.

    “No one only wins. I’ve lost many battles. I’ve done many, many movies that no one has watched. It’s what you do after failures that defines you. To me, life is a ladder. It’s never a destination,” remarked the star.

    Priyanka also said that she works hard so that the generation after her wouldn’t have to.

    “We as Asians have always been taught that you’ve got to run faster than everyone to get where you’re going,” said Chopra. “I wanted to be seen as a mainstream leading lady, and not be boxed into the stereotype I saw a lot of, that required 10 years of work…and finally, I feel like I’ve been able to get to a place where I am doing that.”

    “I think the responsibility is to constantly push the goalposts, not just for yourself, but for everyone who comes after you. For the next generation of South Asian talent, I want it not to take 10 years for them to get the roles that they want,” added the actor.

    Priyanka has a string of releases lined up including Text For You co-starring Sam Heughan and Keanu Reeves’ Matrix 4. She is also working on her own production Citadel.
