After a long battle on social media, Fatima Sohail, the estranged wife of actor-singer Mohsin Abbas Haider has filed for khula in a family court in Lahore.
According to reports, Fatima made her case on grounds of domestic abuse and infidelity. Fatima requested to the court to approve her plea for khula and issue a decree in the matter.
Meanwhile, Mohsin took to social media to express his joy on this development.
In an explosive account posted to social media on July 21 Fatema had come forward with accusations of cheating and domestic abuse against the actor-singer. Fatema alleged that in November 2018, she caught Mohsin cheating on her and when she confronted him, “instead of being embarrassed he started beating” her even though she was pregnant at that time. Luckily her child survived and Fatema said that she moved past the incident for the sake of her child. She continued that her childbirth was a complicated process but Mohsin never supported her and was instead, busy having an affair with an emerging model, Nazish Jahangir.
On August 28, a lower court in Lahore found Mohsin guilty of threatening his wife.
TV anchor Juggun Kazim in a heartbreaking post on social media opened about her recent miscarriage and how she was fat-shamed while being pregnant.
Juggun shared that she was recently pregnant but did not share it because her pregnancies have “generally been precarious.” Because of which she put on weight really quickly. But what surprised her was the reactions of the people who assumed that she had gained weight and proceeded to fat-shame her.
Juggun further revealed that a week ago she miscarried. And when she returned to work someone again commented on how she was looking “extra healthy.”
Juggun requested everyone to stop fat-shaming other people, or even commenting on their body, because they don’t know what the other person is going through.
Lahore-based model and anchor Sophia Mirza who was found involved in a money laundering case has denied all allegations and said that the “propaganda” is being spread by her ex-husband.
According to media reports, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had found Sophia involved in kidnapping for ransom, money laundering and other fraudulent activities.
Taking to Twitter, Sophia shared a series of videos in which she refuted all the reports and blamed her ex-husband Umer Farooq, who now resides in Norway, for maligning her image.
“This is a conscious attempt by my husband to spread fake news about me so that the settlement of our children and assets can go in his favour,” Mirza said.
Mirza remarked that neither the NAB or the FIA approached her in regards to any investigation. She added that she has “legally taken action against all social media through cybercrime in FIA” for spreading fake news about her.
Mirza, who also hosts a show on one of Pakistan’s leading media outlet, was reportedly also involved in a fraud and kidnapping incident two years back.
Mirza is not the first model/actor to be implicated in such a case. Earlier in 2015, model Ayyan Ali was arrested from Islamabad’s Shaheed Benazir Bhutto International Airport for attempting to carry $506,800 to the UAE without the permission of the State Bank of Pakistan.

One week later, Naimal Khawar and Hamza Ali Abbasi’s wedding is still trending. Though the hype has died down a bit, fans still get excited when they get an update from the couple.
The new bride has also resumed her social media activities and hit back at trolls just earlier this week. Now she’s shared how she felt while wearing her mother’s jora on her nikkah and that she did her own hair and makeup.
“The moment I realised I’m getting married, I knew I wanted to wear my Amma’s nikkah jora,” she wrote. “I have always been drawn to old-world charm and the nazakat of bridal joras back in the day. There is also a certain emotional attachment that comes with wearing your mother’s jora.”
“Having worn it, I can say it was easily the best decision I made,” she continued before revealing that she even did her own hair and makeup.
“I also did my own hair and makeup because I wanted to keep it simple and minimal.”

Naimal kept her nikkah look simple and minimalistic with clean, glowing skin, light eyes, well-defined brows and a peachy pout – perfect for an afternoon summer wedding.
Naimal’s decision of stepping away from the norm and being confident enough to do her own hair and makeup considering that she knew how much coverage her wedding would be getting is admirable and we love it.
Do you think more brides will follow Naimal’s footsteps or will we stick to the regular parlours?
Remember the infamous Panama leaks? The same ones which ousted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and made him na-ehl? Netflix has made a film on the incident and how it unfolded worldwide and the trailer of it has been released.
The film titled The Laundromat has Meryl Streep in the lead as Ellen Martin, whose dream vacation takes a wrong turn and leads her down a rabbit hole of shady dealings that can all be traced to one Panama City law firm, run by seductive partners. She soon learns that her minor predicament is only a drop in the bucket of millions of files linking an off-shore tax scheme to the world’s richest and most powerful political leaders.
Along with Meryl, the film also starres Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, Jeffrey Wright, Matthias Schoenaerts, James Cromwell and Sharon Stone.
The film is based on the book by Jake Bernstein titled Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite.
The Panama Papers were leaked documents that showed how Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm, allowed the wealthy and the connected to funnel money illegally in and around the world. Along with Nawaz, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Jackie Chan, Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan were also among those named.
We’ll be watching the movie to see if Nawaz will feature in the film and who’ll be playing him.
After comments by model Nazish Jahangir on a social media post gave rise to rumours that she was marrying Mohsin Abbas Haider, Nazish took to social media to slam the rumours and those spreading them.
Tagging a few online publications, Nazish called them out for being hypocrites and not caring for “someone’s respect and personal life.”
Meanwhile, Mohsin after his court appearance yesterday also refuted rumours that he was marrying Nazish. The actor remarked that the media sensationalised comments without confirmation. He added that everyone will know when he’ll be getting married but at this moment, all such stories are false.
The speculations of their marriage came to light when a fan page in a social media post referred to Nazish and Mohsin as the “Best couple soon.” Under the picture, Nazish commented, “Soon inshaAllah,” and Mohsin liked her comment.
Nazish is the same woman, Mohsin’s estranged wife Fatema Sohail accused him of having an affair with.
A lower court in Lahore has found Mohsin Abbas Haider guilty of threatening wife, Fatema Sohail.
Fatema, in an explosive social media account posted on July 20 had alleged that Mohsin was domestically abusive and had hit her on multiple occasions. She later filed an FIR against Mohsin on grounds of abusive behaviour and that Mohsin extorted money from her.
While the court found Mohsin guilty of threatening his wife, he was found innocent of breach of trust and demanding money from his wife.
According to reports, the court, during the hearing, instructed both the parties to present their respective final arguments in the next hearing.
Meanwhile, Mohsin termed it as a win and said that the truth is finally seeing the light of the day. In a video posted to social media, Mohsin’s lawyer Adnan Tariq said: “The incidents the accuser has narrated are false and nothing but the lies.”
“The investigation was high profile and it was conducted by the SSP, ADIG monitored it themselves. No money trail was found.”
He added that the Sohail and her lawyer never submitted the medical report to show that she was beaten up her husband.
“There are minor provisions of threat in the FIR, hence we are withdrawing on our bail plea,” Tariq concluded.
Haider also had a few words to share. Mohsin said that he was disappointed with the film and media fraternity for “believing a crying woman” without any solid proof.
“Without knowing the full story, they passed judgements. They started saying that my time is up aur main kaheen ka nahi raha,” said Haider.
He reiterated that a crying woman is not always telling the truth before going on to make religious annotations and saying that there is a higher power at work.
“I’m waiting for a reaction from all those who made comments and passed judgments. The more interesting part was that people from my own fraternity expressed their hatred towards me by unfriending me on Facebook.”
“Anyhow, may Allah keep you all happy and I thank those who supported me,” he concluded.
Mohsin also refuted rumors that he was marrying model Nazish Jahangir. The actor remarked that the media sensationalised comments without confirmation. He added that everyone will know when he’ll be getting married but at this moment, all such stories are false.
Fatema’s sister Ayesha took to social media to explain the victim’s version of the story. Ayesha claims that the police is supporting Mohsin.
Speaking to The Current, Fatema’s lawyer Barrister Ehtisham said that the court trial is yet to begin and this is the conclusion of the police investigation.
He said, “The [police] investigation has not been concluded on merits. We will go to the court against the police finding and SSP & DIG investigation who were managed by Mohsin Abbas.”
He added that since Mohsin has withdrawn his bail plea, he can be arrested under Section 506 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Unfortunately, there are no laws regarding domestic violence in Pakistan yet.
