    Just friends or more? Aima Baig & Shahbaz Shigri

    Speculations are rife that Aima Baig and Shahbaz Shigri are more than friends after the two were spotted hanging out more than usual.

    The rumours began after Aima and Shabaz posted the same picture at the same time. The picture of them was from the PFDC Bridal Week which took place last month in Lahore where Aima walked the ramp for Fahad Hussayn while Shahbaz was in the crowds to cheer for her. Aima also performed a song during the show.

    While Aima had a simple caption, Shahbaz with the picture wrote, “Fantastic show by Fahad Hussayn and the ridiculously talented, drop-dead gorgeous Aima Baig. Pretty sure the ramp was on fire while she was on. Thanks for the kickass blazer Fahad.”

    Following the show, the two jetted off to sunny California. Which is probably the biggest sign of their relationship because all relationships start in foreign lands. Remember Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain’s vacay in Thailand?

    “Really can’t beat this guy when it comes to posing,” Aima captioned the picture below.

    Friends and members of the entertainment industry left some sweet comments on the picture and we will take this as a hint.

    Another picture which had a lot of hint, hint comments by friends was this one:

    Their couple hashtag was debated upon by Shahbaz’s close friend Salmaan Shaukat.

    The two are also an integral part of each other’s Insta stories.

    Shahbaz also had wonderful things to say about Aima’s latest song Dhola for Coke Studio 12.

    All this aside, Aima in a recent interview said that Shahbaz and her are just good friends and people are speculating their relationship because Aima has rarely shared pictures of herself with guys on her Instagram.

    So dating or not, you decide.

  • Hamza Ali Abbasi quits acting to focus on his ‘spiritual journey’

    Hamza Ali Abbasi quits acting to focus on his ‘spiritual journey’

    The news we’ve all been waiting for since the end of October has finally been revealed. Though we all kind of predicted it, it is nonetheless still a big revelation.

    In a 23-minute long video message posted to Youtube, Hamza Ali Abbasi shared that he will be quitting acting to focus on religion, his relationship with Allah and to spread the message of Islam.

    “I had this divine revelation some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die,” Hamza said in the video, adding that death is inevitable.

    “All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the day of judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the day of Judgment.”

    Though Hamza will be quitting acting, he shared that he will still continue to make videos and use his voice and popularity to spread the message of Islam and inspire others to undertake this spiritual journey.

    “My perspective of life has been changed since I realised that I have to meet my God. With this realisation, what I decided to do is that I now wish to talk to people. I wish to spread the message.”

    However, Hamza asserted that making movies is not haraam, adding that he might even consider making movies that are not vulgar and propagate the message of peace and patriotism.

    Addressing the rumours of him joining politics, Hamza clarified that he is not joining electoral politics.

    “I think in politics, you have to lie a lot to defend your party and your peers. It isn’t something I resonate with. I don’t wish to lie or do something I don’t believe in, so entering politics is not on the cards right now,” he said.

    It is pertinent to mention here that Hamza has been a loyal and vocal supporter of Prime Minister Imran Khan and has even served as the Cultural Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) for a short while.

    Hamza also thanked his fans for their support through the years, saying that he would be nothing without them.

    The actor-activist in October had tweeted that he had a very important announcement to make at the end of the month.

    Following that, speculations were rife that the actor will be quitting the entertainment industry. On a poll posted by The Current, 58 percent of people agreed that the actor will be quitting acting.

    Hamza made his film debut in 2013 with the films Waar and Main Hoon Shahid Afridi. Over the years he has had several successful projects to his credit including Pyaray Afzal, Mann Mayal, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani and Parwaaz Hai Junoon. His latest drama Alif is currently on air while his last film, The Legend of Maula Jatt, has no release date as of now.

    Clad in a black dress and a headscarf, Rabi said, “My mistakes are between myself and my Creator, the One who knows what is in the hearts of the people. He is the All-Forgiving and the Most Merciful.”

    Throughout the video, released privately to the media, Pirzada quoted religious texts extensively and shared that she had found her true calling in religion.

    “I realised that even after I run away from the world, I cannot run away from my Lord. That is when I realised that whenever a woman is dragged into the public debate, so many things go wrong,” Rabi said.

    Talking about her leaked video, Pirzada revealed that soon after the video went viral, she was approached for films, television commercials, concerts and other private events. She detailed how people had ridiculed her and accused her of seeking cheap popularity.

    “Some said it was a punishment for speaking against Modi or PM Imran,” Rabi said while crying. The singer broke into sobs more than once during the video.

    At the same time, “a lot of women also offered to support and protect me, assuring me that no one would be able to raise a finger against me. These included those affiliated with #MeToo and #MeraJismMeriMarzi.”

    Rabi also warned those who were sharing the leaked video saying that they would be apprehended.

    “I think I have been given a new life, and the meaning of my life is now only religion,” she concluded.

  • What’s so special about Disney Plus?

    What’s so special about Disney Plus?

    Two weeks after Apple rolled out its own streaming service Apple TV+, Disney launched its own streaming service Disney Plus.

    While Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple Plus are spending money on original content featuring big celebs, Disney Plus offers you something different: ALL Disney content. From Disney animated classics to Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and even 20th Century Fox content, everything under the Disney banner and more is included in Disney Plus.

    Disney Plus released a 3-hour trailer last month to showcase all its programs.

    By comparison, Apple had a relatively subdued launch earlier this month. At $6.99 per month, Disney Plus debuted with 10 original movies, specials and series. It is also expected to release more than 45 original programmes within a year of its launch. 

    A recent study said that 40 percent of consumers would sign up for Disney Plus just because the content reminded them of their childhood.

    In fact, on the first day of its launch, Disney Plus was hit by technical issues. There were many reports on social media platforms about problems accessing the service. Many users shared screenshots of error messages.

    Disney
    Plus launched in the US, Canada and the Netherlands on Tuesday. Disney Plus
    will arrive in Australia and New Zealand on November 19.

    Globally,
    Disney plans a progressive rollout worldwide over the next two years. The
    company provided a generalised timeline for when it will expand the service to
    the world’s major regions.

    Disney
    Plus is slated to roll out in:

    • Eastern Europe over the course of a year starting as early as October 2020.
    • Latin America over the course of three months starting as early as October 2020.
    • Asia Pacific over the course of two years starting anytime.

    Pakistan comes in the Asia Pacific region which means we’ll have to wait a little longer than others.
