    Iqra Aziz, Yasir Hussain’s bundle of joy to arrive in July

    Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain are expecting. After weeks of fans speculating if a baby was on the way, the couple formally announced the news on social media and debuted Iqra’s baby bump.

    The parents-to-be announced the news on social media, sharing pictures from Iqra’s godh barai and revealing that the baby is expected to arrive in July 2021.

    “Allah hamesha hi hum per meherbaan raha hai aur is baar toh uski karamnawazi bemisaal hai,” said Yasir. “Aulaad Allah ka khoobsurat tohfa hai. Alhamdulillah hum bohot khush hain aur umeed karty hain k aap bhi hamen apni duaon mai yaad rakhengay.”

    For the godh bharai rasm, Iqra opted to wear a purple and orange gharara by Fahd Hussayn while Hussain wore a simple white kurta pajama.

    Iqra also thanked Yasir for being an “amazing partner throughout this beautiful journey” saying that she is extremely “happy to be starting a family with a man” like him.

    Earlier Iqra had said that she “chose [to marry] Yasir because he always speaks the truth and does not differentiate among people.”

    “He respects everyone and gives them their due credit,” said Iqra further. “In addition to this, he knows how to respect a woman. After my mother and sister, no one has given me more confidence than him,” the actor had said.

    Following a public proposal, an intimate engagement, and a glorious wedding week, Iqra and Yasir tied the knot in December 2019.

    Meanwhile, Iqra’s sister Sidra Aziz said she hopes to “see the baby soon”.

  • Yasra Rizvi dismayed with media coverage of pregnancy

    Yasra Rizvi dismayed with media coverage of pregnancy

    Yasra Rizvi, who is expecting her first child, is disheartened with the media coverage of her pregnancy, saying that outlets should have also talked about her upcoming project instead of focusing only on her baby bump.

    “In our country, the newsworthy bit is that I am pregnant,” said Rizvi. “Not the fact that I am also directing probably the most important script I have gotten to direct so far while due any time now!”

    “Indeed we are a nation totally obsessed with marriage and one’s ability to procreate,” she added.

    Later, Yasra explained her story saying: “Aik tou poori baat nahi samajhta koi. Aap ki duaaon aur naik tamannaaon ke liye main tah e dil se shukar guzaar hoon .. maddaahon aur khair khwaaon ki mohabbat aur wishes se masla nahi hai!”

    “Shukriya Shukriya Shukriyaaaa,” she added.

    Rizvi’s post hints that she received flak for her earlier comments.

    Rizvi is currently directing the drama Working Women, which has been penned by Bee Gul of Raqeeb Se fame.

    Meanwhile, Yasra’s sister-in-law Jenaan Hussain, sharing a picture of Rizvi, wrote: “This post is actually about a woman inspiring other women to do and be whatever and whoever they wish to be at any point in their lives regardless of their age and domestic commitments.”

    Explaining how people should celebrate the capability Rizvi holds as a woman rather than only focusing on the fact that she is expecting, Hussain added: “It’s not about ‘Oh look I am pregnant and that’s the only accomplishment you must celebrate me for’ but taking things in your stride. Being this pregnant and directing a high-pressure set is just the kinda thing only a woman can pull off, just like her a lot of women around us everyday juggle between the most daunting tasks and nail it and some get trapped in myths and preconceived don’ts.”

    “Women are doers, and if there is a time to stop underestimating us and what all we are capable of it’s now,” she added.

    Anushka Sharma glows as she poses with her baby bump

    With weeks to go before baby Sharma-Kohli arrives, Anushka Sharma has opened up about her pandemic pregnancy and posed for the cover of Vogue India with her baby bump.

    Sharing details about her pregnancy, Sharma revealed that she felt exhausted and nauseous during her first trimester. She said that couldn’t go near the kitchen as she couldn’t stand the smell of things.

    “Smells would revolt me, I couldn’t go near the kitchen. I swear, I could smell people’s skin. I thought it was never going to end,” said Anushka. “I didn’t think I could feel so tired. I am an active person and it was startling, but even when you’re in pain, or uncomfortable, you are still thinking: have I eaten at the right time? Is the baby okay?”

    The actor also revealed that she was hooked to eating toast and crackers during the first three months and when that ended she wanted to eat vada pao and bhel puri. But other than that she did not have any major cravings, unlike Gigi Hadid who shared that she was hooked to eating spices.

    Anushka also said that the pandemic turned out to be a “weird blessing” for the couple.

    “The pandemic has been a weird blessing in a way. Virat was around and I could keep it a secret. We only left to go to the doctor’s clinic. No one was on the streets so we couldn’t be spotted,” said the actor.

    Meanwhile, a self-confessed planner, Sharma revealed that her child’s animal-themed nursery is complete.

    “I just want to be prepared. Everything is slower because of the times we are living in and I don’t like to rush things. This time in my life, even more so,” she says. “I want the nursery to be very calm. It’s the place where you spend the most amount of time, where you are bonding with your baby, so it has to be peaceful.”

    Sharing details about the nursery’s theme, Sharma said: “I don’t believe that boys have to wear blue and girls pink. The nursery has all colours. Both Virat and I love animals and we want our baby to have that bond too. They are a big part of our lives and we really believe they can teach kindness and compassion to children.”

    Anushka and Virat are expected to welcome their bundle of joy in January 2021. Their announcement tweet was the most-liked tweet of 2020.
