Lollywood queen Resham is not just a great actress but also the owner of a heart of gold. But the internet didn’t even spare her charity work. The star opened up about being trolled for her work, feeding underprivileged communities.
Undeterred by negative comments, Resham said, “People on social media say all kinds of things like she’s making food for charity out of ill-gotten money, but I say let Allah decide.”
Resham, who has been personally preparing and distributing food to the needy for the past 20 years, emphasized her dedication. “This has been going on continuously for the past six years, all 12 months,” she stated, highlighting her unwavering commitment to helping others.
Bollywood fans went wild when a photo of former couple Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai together at Anant Ambani’s wedding appeared online. The wedding, hosted by India’s richest businessman Mukesh Ambani on July 12, was a star-studded event with many Bollywood stars and international celebrities in attendance.
Aishwarya Rai, along with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, posed for photos. The rest of the Bachchan family also attended separately. However, a viral image showing Aishwarya holding Salman Khan’s hand, with Salman’s sister Arpita Khan Sharma in the background, grabbed everyone’s attention.
Fans speculated and expressed joy, wondering if the two stars were getting back together. But it was soon revealed that the photo was fake and created using artificial intelligence (AI).
They also had a real-life relationship that ended years ago, even though they were close to getting married.
‘Crossroads’ is making history as Asia’s first vertically shot series. This means it’s filmed in a 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for mobile viewing. It’s available in over 20 languages, using both human and AI dubbing to reach a global audience. Each episode lasts just 75 seconds, ideal for busy schedules. You can watch it on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
The story follows Burak, a billionaire seeking revenge, and Haya, a game designer. After a painful breakup in college, they unexpectedly reunite when Haya’s company partners with Burak’s business. This reignites old emotions, leading to a gripping tale of love, revenge, and second chances.
The first five episodes introduce Baby Billionaire Burak, played by Khushhal Khan. Each under 2 minutes, these episodes keep viewers hooked with Burak’s insights on love and success, his painful college breakup, and his colleagues’ crushes. The mystery of Burak’s past heartbreak and his connection to Haya keeps the intrigue alive.
The series brings a Turkish drama feel, appealing to Gen Z and other age groups. The intense, emotional storytelling and visually striking presentation make it a unique experience. Khushhal Khan’s performance stands out, portraying a heartbroken yet strong character.
While the 75-second episodes are convenient, they limit storytelling. We hope the over 60 planned episodes will fully develop the plot. The focus on Burak’s interview and past heartbreak could use more variation and advancement.
Crossroads is directed by Fahad Noor, written by Eric Berg, and features a stellar cast including Khushhal Khan, Mamya Shajaffar, and Simi Raheel.

Humaira Channa Speaks Out
Famous singer Humaira Channa, known for hit Lollywood songs, said, “You all know about the current situation in Pakistan. We are suffering from heavy bills.

We are barely managing because we have kids studying in university, and we have to handle everything on our own.”

Another renowned singer, Nooran Lal, also opened up about her difficulties. She said, “I got two meters at home to keep our units controlled, yet we received heavy bills on both meters—40,000 and 33,000 PKR, along with taxes.

A video of a group of girls aggressively beating a shopkeeper has gone viral on social media, leading many celebrities and citizens to call for their arrest. Today, singer Hasan Raheem released a statement on Instagram, offering background information and clarifying that the women in the video were the victims, not the perpetrators.
“Salam everyone. I would like to clarify a few things from the last video. Some facts have come up after we got accounts from the people who were present there,” Hasan began.
He urged people to be cautious before reacting without context. “It’s very easy to blame someone without understanding the full context. These girls are getting death threats from random people and we need to make sure this situation doesn’t escalate from here,” he added.
Hasan explained that the shopkeeper had been making lewd remarks towards the women, which led to the altercation. “These girls are not the daughters of a lawyer, and this has been confirmed by multiple sources. The shopkeeper referred to them as prostitutes on night duty. You can see him smirking in the video after remarking,” Hasan shared.
He continued, “When the girls questioned him, he retaliated and abused them. The girls shouldn’t have raised their hands on him; they should have called the police. The person speaking in the video has also apologized for not telling the full truth.”
In a second post, Hasan expressed concern about people quickly jumping to conclusions without understanding the full story. “It is so easy to jump on the bandwagon and begin slandering someone,” he said.
“It was not right for them to get physical, but there is a limit to how long one can stay silent in such a situation,” Hasan added. “Women in this country are very aware of their security issues. Learn to take care of your mothers and sisters so they won’t have to take matters into their own hands next time.”
