Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and love sure is in the air…
The video of an Indian professor dodging his wife’s kiss while on a Zoom conference has gone viral over the internet.
The man, who was seen talking about GDP in the video, then calls his partner’s romantic move as “foolish and nonsense”.
The wife in the clip seems unaware that the husband is in the middle of a conference.
Visibly in distress, and with the striking response, the professor quickly pulls himself away. “What nonsense you’re doing here?” he can be heard as asking his wife.
A 10-year-old girl has reportedly died after allegedly trying TikTok’s viral ‘Blackout Challenge” on TikTok. As per details, the girl was found dead in her washroom by her younger sister.
Initial investigation has suggested that the girl named Antonella had placed a belt around her neck to prevent herself from breathing to try the challenge. However, she ended up killing herself. When she was later taken to a hospital in Palermo, Italy, the doctors declared her brain dead.
“Blackout challenge” is also known as “pass out challenge” and “the fainting game”. In this challenge, individuals try to temporarily suffocate themselves in order to get a feeling of euphoria.
The girl’s parents said that they had no idea Antonella was participating in this game.
“We knew our daughter went on TikTok for dances and to look at videos, but could we imagine this atrocity?,” they said.
Speaking to an international publican, a TikTok spokesperson said: “The safety of the TikTok community is our absolute priority, for this motive we do not allow any content that encourages, promotes or glorifies behavior that could be dangerous.”
Italian authorities have also ordered the social media platform to block all accounts where the user’s age could not be verified.
Meanwhile, a boy in Rawalpindi also lost his life trying to shoot a stunt in front of a train for a TikTok video.
Actor, Adnan Siddiqui took to Twitter to express his sorrow over the incident.
“No number of likes or social media followers is greater than your life. Entertainment doesn’t mean putting yourself in harms way,” he wrote.
Adnan added, “Sad a young life was lost to foolishness. Others should heed this as a lesson and act wisely.”

Sheheryar Munawar, Adnan Siddiqui, and Ahsan Khan among other celebrities have slammed the owners of Cannoli Café Soul in Islamabad, Uzma, and Diya, for mocking and ridiculing their restaurant manager for his Englishspeaking skills.
Sharing his thoughts on the incident, Adnan Siddiqui in a long note posted to Instagram said that he “wish[es] someone had taught them basic courtesy”.
“The joke’s on them because they just exposed their class, rather lack of it,” said the actor. “Do yourself a favour and find a cure for your colonial hangover.”
Similarly, Munawar condemned the behaviour of the owners, writing: “Seems like an exaggerated scene out of a 90’s movie, where the mean rich kids pick on the protagonist, making fun of his humble background.”
“Shame,” he added.
Expressing his outrage, Ahsan Khan said: “I find it very distasteful that even in today’s world we demean people who work for us just because they can’t speak English.”
“Such pretentious snobs,” added the actor.
Ahmed Ali Butt, Sarah Khan and Mushk Kaleem also expressed their distaste over the incident and criticised the disgraceful remarks by the two women.
Mushk also reminded her followers of the time when Iman Aly had passed a “condescending statement about the current models of our industry.”
Meanwhile, the owners later issued an apology, saying that they “are saddened and appalled by the reaction of the people, how they have misconstrued our banter with a team member”.
Social media users, however, are not buying their “fake apology” and have criticised them further for being tone deaf and arrogant.
The original meme showed a man and woman indulging in PDA with the caption: “The difference between harassment and flirting is your financial position.”
Butt cut out the latter part of the caption, writing: “The difference between harassment and flirting is CONSENT.”
Meanwhile, the actor is currently shooting for his upcoming drama Chupke Chupke with Ayeza Khan and Mira Sethi. The comedy-drama, which is expected to go on-air in Ramazan, is being directed by Danish Nawaz.
Maya Ali and Hira Mani have crossed five million followers on Instagram. The actors shared the news and excitement on social media and thanked their fans for the love.
“Thank you for all the five million family,” wrote Maya on social media, adding: “So grateful for all of you, and for all the love and appreciation you guys show me.”
Similarly, Hira Mani, who recently said that she has become anofficial singer, announced that she has crossed five million followers on the social media application.
Sharing a goofy picture of herself, Mani wrote: “Thank you for liking me and liking my Instagram and liking my song and liking my face and liking my kids and liking my originality.”
Meanwhile, Ayeza Khan and Aiman Khan are the most followed Pakistani celebrities on Instagram with 7.9 million followers each. Mahira Khan follows closely behind with 7 million followers.

As per the latest reports, tourists flocked to Kalam valley to witness the Snow Kabaddi Championship, organised by the local youth in collaboration with the hotel association and youth affairs department.
Six local teams took part in the championship with the Matiltan Tiger emerging as the winner.
The Nawaz brothers including Yasir, Danish and Faraz recreated Ahmed Shah’s viral New Year video and the internet is in fits.
Shah, who is famous for his funny videos, posted a video along with his brothers Umer and Abubakar to wish his fans a Happy New Year on January 1. The video went viral because of Ahmad’s younger brother Umer, who mistakenly dropped his packet of snacks and then went to pick it up while Ahmad wished everyone. Their brother Abubakar, meanwhile, couldn’t stop laughing at Umer.
Audiences can’t get enough of Danish for imitating little Umer so perfectly. Even Ahmad thought the video was very cute. Check out some of the reactions below:
