Aiman Khan and Minal Khan, beloved Pakistani celebrities with massive social media followings, have stepped into the world of skincare with their new brand, Skin Recipe. The launch event, held in Karachi, attracted a host of social media influencers, celebrities, and the actresses’ family members. The buzz surrounding the Skin Recipe launch is spreading like wildfire on social media, with pictures and videos from the event circulating on Instagram.
Take a peek at the highlights:
Motaz Azaiza, the photojournalist called “The Eye of Gaza”, has evacuated the besieged strip after showing the world the reality of living in Palestine. He has landed in Qatar and has kickstarted the mission of taking the cause of advocating for the plight of Palestineans forward by participating in talk shows for Al-Jazeera. His absence on ground is missed.
There are plenty of journalists on ground who are risking their lives to show the world the war crimes being committed by Israeli forces and the genocide of poor Gazans.
Bisan is the leading journalist after Motaz. She is working with leading news portals and has shown daily life in Gaza since October 7. In her own words, she has been displaced more than thrice in the course of the last 100 days but is determined to keep documenting the genocide that is taking place in Gaza.
Hind Khoudary, a reporter who has worked closely with Motaz and is still in Gaza, is taking refuge in Motaz’s home reporting the havoc inflicted upon Gaza by Israel.
Hamdan Dahdouh is also one such journalist who is directly reporting from the ground showing through his camera lens what the seige has done.
Roba Khaled is a TRT Arabi journalist and has been reporting from the ground while being a mother to an ailing daughter.
Motasem Mortaja is a journalist working for different platforms and his Instagram account is a video library of the more than 100 days of war in Gaza.
Saleh Aljafarawi is a young content creator and influencer from Gaza who is showing the world the horrors of war.
Ali Jadallah is an award-winning photojournalist capturing raw emotions from the strip.
Wael abo Omar is another journalist now sick with a cold, but not letting the mission of informing the world slip until he is alive.
Belal Khaled has been reporting from day one and documenting the genocide up close.
Actress and social media influencer Kiran Ashfaque made headlines yesterday when pictures of her marriage to PPP official Hamza Asim Chaudhary went viral on social media. Previously, Kiran was married to actor Imran Ashraf and divorced him after four years of marriage.
The actress was not here for the cynics shaming her for finding love for the second time. Kiran responded to a troll who accused her of marrying soon after getting divorced:
“You mean I should have kept residing at my parents and remained depressed about my life while my parents were worried about me?”
Kiran’s marriage to Hamza was held in his residence in Lahore which was attended by family and friends. The actress had shared pictures from the event on her social media.
The actress had previously done a Q and A on her Instagram where she revealed her previous marriage broke up because of how much her ex urged her to change herself.

Responds to a fan asking why they divorced because the couple had looked happy, Kiran had responded: “Not all that glitters is gold.”
Another answer got praises where Kiran urged her followers to never change themselves for another man, and to remain proud of how bold they are.
We’re still shocked that to this day, women are facing more scrutiny for choosing to break off unhappy marriages. Why should Kiran have to keep justifying her choices, and have to fight off the label of ‘Imran Ashraf’s ex-wife’? It’s gross and absolutely not acceptable, and we send our sincerest regards to Kiran for living rent free in the minds of haters while doing whatever she loves.
Content creator Kiran Ashfaque has married Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) political advisor Hamza Ali Chaudhary. The actress was previously married to actor and host of ‘Mazaaq Raat’ Imran Ashraf. The couple divorced in 2022 after being married for four years.
The wedding ceremony was held in Lahore at Hamza’s private residence, where Kiran donned a pastel kurta and a sheer white veil. She wore silver jewellery for the ceremony.
The Instagram influencer shared several pictures of her event on her Instagram account.
Kiran also shared an adorable picture from her mayon where she and her betrothed Hamza were seen laughing at each other with ubtan on their faces.
The friend who had shared the picture gushed about her best friend getting married to the love of her life.
“Can not put my feelings into words today. But all I know is she deserves the best of this world. My strong strong girl ❤️”
Kiran’s husband Hamza is a young politician who is currently associated with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and is also a lawyer by profession. On his Instagram, he was seen posing next to prominent PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto and former President Asif Ali Zardari.
The social media influencer had shed some light on her previous marriage to Imran, when during a Q and A session with fans, she revealed that she would never change herself for another man.

From Kiran’s glow, it looks like she has finally found a man who respects her for who she is, and we’re a huge fan of women finding their soul mates with a second chance. Sending our sincerest congratulations to Kiran and Hamza, and wishing them a blessed life ahead.
Actor and producer Fahad Mustafa was a guest on Shoaib Akhtar’s show where he was asked about the rise of social media influencers and content creators in Pakistan and whether he would accept them as co-actors in any drama he works in. The ‘Mayi Ri’ producer responded with a scathing remark on the lengths people from this profession are willing to go to for the sake of going viral.
“They are selling their families for content,” asserted the actor. “Their content is making kheer in the kitchen, rubbing their mother’s feet and then going as far as visiting a graveyard…Matlab yeh kya hai, yeh kaunsa content hai?” [What is this, what kind of content is this?]
Fahad further explained he would never want to be known for this kind of work. “I can tell both good or bad story, but I will never sell my house for the sake of views. I will never sell myself this way.”
The ‘Mein Abdul Kadir Hoon’ actor further compared content creators to those working in the acting industry, and pointed out how such influencers would never survive in such an industry because of the extensive time it took to produce a project.
“If you ever go on a shoot, or you’re sitting on a set here, it takes time,” shared Fahad. “There’s a process. They can’t work longer than two or eight hours. And how would they understand? They have their phone and can make something in 10 seconds.”
