Pretty sure by now everyone knows that Mahira Khan is attending the Paris Fashion Week as L’Oréal Paris Pakistan official Spokesperson. Pictures and videos of her attending soirees, fashion shows and after-parties have made their way to social media and honestly, Mahira has blown us away with her looks and confidence.

Starting off with her first two looks – a lime-green blouse paired with black pants and red heels and all-black leather jumpsuit with silver boots. Mahira looked every bit the diva she is in these two looks.

Mahira then turned heads in her next two looks – a black sequenced outfit and an off-white one.

Being an L’Oréal Paris representative, Mahira also walked the runway for the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, at Le Défilé L’Oreal Paris (L’Oreal Paris Parade) where she also shook a leg with Dame Helen Mirren. Her rock-chic look was uber cool and completely unlike Mahira’s usual style.

Mahira then vowed in a sparkly Ralph & Russo outfit as she attended the designer’s show.

Mahira was also spotted hanging out with Eva Longoria at an after-party.

This is not the first time Mahira has vowed us from Paris. Last year, she was L’Oréal Paris Pakistan’s official Spokesperson at the Cannes International Film Festival.

Mehwish Hayat recently came under fire after a video of her’s went viral on social media.

The 15-second video clip which appears to be from a charity event shows a reporter asking Mehwish about her stance on Kashmir.

To this, Mehwish responded that she cannot comment on the matter as she has been told to refrain from speaking on the subject.

“Mana kardiya hai (I have been told not to),” she says in the video.

The video soon made its way to social media and everyone started calling out Mehwish for being a hypocrite.

Mehwish then came out with a statement in which she clarified that her video is being taken out of context. She said that she will continue to remain vocal on the Kashmir issue and that she was requested by the charity event’s PR “not to be political and not distract from the orphans” she was there to help.

Several members of the film and media industry defended Mehwish.

Mehwish, in the recent past, has been vocal about Islamophobia, the depiction of Pakistanis and Muslims in Hollywood and Bollywood and Indian atrocities in Indian occupied Kashmir.

Pakistani documentary Armed with Faith won a News & Docs Emmy for Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary.

The documentary is based on the lives of the brave Pakistani men who are part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bomb Disposal Squad and are faced with life-threatening challenges every day. However, its main focus is two security personnel Abdur Rehman and Inayatullah and their struggles.

Co-produced by the two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and former journalist Haya Fatima Iqbal, Armed with Faith was nominated in the Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary category. It has been co-directed by filmmakers Asad Faruqi and Geeta Gandbhir.

Previously the film was also screened in Vancouver International Film Festival in 2017 as well as at the Atlanta Film Festival and TRT’s Belgesel Günleri Film Festival.

Sharmeen also took to social media to congratulate the team and shared some warm words about Asad.

Watch the promo here:

Indian-American comedian Hasan Minhaj was barred from entering Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi’s rally at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Videos posted on the Instagram account of Adam Matthew Weiss, president and CEO of AMWPR, which handled the event, showed Minhaj being told there were no press credentials or space available for him and his crew despite other videos showing that there was ample space inside.

But why would an Indian-American comedian, who has a massive following all over the world be banned from an Indian Prime Minister’s event?

Hasan Minhaj is the host of Netflix’s Patriot Act and is very critical of Modi’s government. He spoke (and posted) for the right to Independence for the people of Kashmir, which had more than 2M views on twitter.

Later, Indian actor Anupam Kher took a dig at Hasan, saying he was a “Kashmiri Pundit” and understood its plight.

Hasan has also been vocal against Modi’s re-election and did a segment on it on his program. He posted the clip on twitter which included jokes about Modi’s interview with actor Akshay Kumar and Modi’s video of him meditating in a cave.

Hasan mentioned how he is being trolled by BJP supporters, who thought he was trying to swing the elections. “Let me make this thing very clear. Comedians can’t swing elections,” he said.

His anti-Modi and pro-Kashmir stance is most likely the reason why he was not allowed to attend Modi’s “Howdy” event but we are still waiting for Hasan to reveal why he thinks he wasn’t let in.

Earlier in the day, Minhaj had shared a picture of himself outside the stadium.
