    Arsalan Naseer says a nepo baby hijacked his project with Ayeza Khan

    In the Pakistani drama industry, celebrity children often get special treatment. Actor Arsalan Naseer, who debuted in the 2021 series ‘Chupke Chupke’, recently talked about his run-in with nepotism.

    Naseer took to his Instagram Stories for a candid Q&A session with fans earlier this week. In his honest style, Naseer openly discussed how he, too, has been affected by the widespread issue of nepotism.

    A fan eagerly wrote to Arsalan Naseer, “Please work with Ayeza Khan… That too with the main lead and a happy ending.” Sharing this fan’s comment on his Instagram Story, the actor revealed some behind-the-scenes drama.

    “I was working with her, but they took an actor’s son instead and kicked me off the project. After a while, Ayeza left as well,” he stated. Naseer highlighted how the industry often favors star kids over talented actors, depriving fans of what could have been a great on-screen partnership.

  • Indian man under fire for ‘assigning rates’ to female tourists

    Indian man under fire for ‘assigning rates’ to female tourists

    A man named Guru from Jaipur, India, has sparked online outrage by posting a video of himself assigning rates to foreign women tourists visiting the state.

    Unaware of Guru’s intentions, women tourists reacted normally and smiled in the reels. However, his derogatory tone in the name of generating content offended many people online.

    He was detained on June 23 by the local police for harassing women tourists and posting their videos online.

    Shared on the Instagram account @guru__brand0000, Guru can be seen saying in the videos, “Guys, you will get these women for Rs 150.” Pointing out to individual women, Guru assigns different rates and says, “She is available for Rs 150, she is for Rs 200, you can get her for Rs 500 and this one is for Rs 300.”

    Since Guru was speaking in Hindi, none of the women tourists could decipher the offensive content of his video.

    In another video, Guru went beyond limits by approaching a couple and saying that the woman tourist was his wife. He said, “Guys, she is my wife. He is my brother-in-law. How do you guys like him? My brother-in-law.”

    Police have also found that the man forcibly made foreign tourists buy products from his shop in the Amer Market of Jaipur.

    This is not the first time foreign tourists have been harassed in India. Recently, a Spanish woman who was out on a bike tour with her partner was gang-raped during her stay in Jharkhand state.

    Janitor pretends to be doctor in Punjab hospital

    A video of a janitor at a hospital in Punjab’s Wazirabad district, posing as a doctor and attending to patients, went viral on social media. Many doubted the video’s authenticity, but Geo Fact Check claims it to be true, as confirmed by government officials and the inquiry report.

    On May 16, an X user posted a 19-second video purportedly showing a person examining patients at a hospital.

    The user stated that the man checking the patients is actually a sweeper employed at the Wazirabad Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital in Punjab and pretending to be a doctor.

    The video has been viewed over 149,000 times and reposted over 1,000 times to date.

    Identical claims also took off on Facebook.

    Dr Hassan Tariq, the medical superintendent of Tehsil Headquarters Hospital, verified that the janitor indeed impersonated a doctor at the nursing station and performed tasks such as checking a patient’s blood pressure and adjusting a drip.

    However, the medical superintendent added that the janitor and the person who recorded the video had been removed from the job.

    Khawaja Imran Nazir, Punjab’s minister for primary and secondary healthcare, and Ali Jan Khan, secretary for specialised healthcare and medical education, corroborated the occurrence and confirmed the staff member’s termination following an inquiry conducted in May.

    The janitor in the video has been identified as Abdul Sattar, who admitted to attending to patients at the nursing station.

    An inquiry report released on May 14 revealed that two nurses had instructed the janitor to attend to patients in the hospital’s emergency ward.
