    Man from Manahil Malik’s alleged video breaks silence, gives 24h deadline

    An intimate video allegedly featuring TikToker Minahil Malik has surfaced online, sparking a wave of criticism against the social media star. In response to the scandal, another TikToker, Rana Sharyar, who was also allegedly seen in the leaked videos, has issued a statement.

    Known by his TikTok handle @sk777official, Sharyar posted a video on both his Instagram and TikTok accounts, declaring, “If this matter isn’t resolved by the 24th, I will present everything – evidence, my WhatsApp, and reveal who made it go viral and who didn’t.”

    “Minahil Malik, please understand what I’m trying to explain. You have 24 hours to resolve this matter and tell the truth. I will fight fully alongside you, Inshallah. Also, this video is not for you guys, it’s only for Minahil Malik…My apologies, but this is not directed at anyone else. I will wait 24 hours for you to resolve this… Just solve this matter within 24 hours and tell the truth to the FIA, as you already know everything,” he added.


    A leaked clip of the content appeared on several social media accounts, which sparked a wave of criticism against the social media star.

    The clip allegedly featured Minahil Malik in intimate moments with an unknown man, which led users to troll and harass her.

    It was also shared on different YouTuber pages during the frenzy.

    While some say it is a publicity stunt, Minahil Malik has addressed the controversy, stating, “A video has surfaced, allegedly of me, which is fake and edited. I have filed a complaint with the FIA against it, and the perpetrator will soon be in their custody.”

    “My family and I are going through severe depression because of this,” she said and urged her supporters to continue standing by her as they always have.

    “Only someone who has no respect for women or doesn’t have a mother or sister at home can do this. I am a witness, and so is my God. I only need your support.”

    ‘Superstar,’ the much-awaited album by singer Bilal Saeed is out, and the buzz on the latest release from the song is already going high as ‘Misunderstood’ which is now up on YouTube on One Two Records. And with that message, it carries into being an empowering anthem as it calls for the listener to accept their weaknesses and stand above those battles.

    On Instagram he wrote, “This goes out to all those who bear their struggles in silence, a gentle reminder that vulnerability is a mark of courage, not weakness. It’s okay to stumble, to feel the weight of the world, and to shed tears in the darkness. But remember, it’s also okay to rise once more.”

    The music video for “Misunderstood” is directed by Abdullah Haris, with music by Alex Shahbaz and mixing by Bloodline Music. It beautifully captures the essence of the song’s theme, creating a visual experience that resonates with its emotional depth.

    Bilal Saeed has had associations with some really interesting melodies and heart-warming lines in his tracks, which have touched people’s hearts yet again. With “Been There, Done That,” he teams up his signature sound with Talha Anjum’s unique mix of rap and pop to create a track that resonates with both artists’ fan bases.

    Currently, this track has been described as energetic, with great chemistry between Bilal and Talha, and it is one of the best tracks on the album. All this hype in the duo will bring light to their tremendous abilities and what is yet to be created.

  • Pro Palestine singer who spoke up against Kamala Harris gets number one spot

    Pro Palestine singer who spoke up against Kamala Harris gets number one spot

    Chappell Roan, a rising singer known for her support of Palestine, recently hit the number one spot on the Artist 100 and Top Album Sales charts for the first time. The success follows her outspoken stance against Vice President and Democrat candidate for President Kamala Harris, and her decision to reject an invitation to perform at the White House Pride event earlier this year.

    In a candid interview with The Guardian, Roan explained why she doesn’t feel pressured to endorse any political candidate, including Kamala Harris, in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. “There’s problems on both sides,” she said. “I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change.”

    Roan encouraged her fans to think critically about their votes. “Use your critical thinking skills, use your vote — vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city,” she advised.

    Her decision to decline the White House Pride event invitation came during her performance at New York City’s Governors Ball music festival in June, where she told the crowd, “We want liberty, justice, and freedom for all. When you do that, that’s when I’ll come.”

    In a more recent Rolling Stone interview, Roan elaborated on her reasoning for rejecting the invite, pointing to the U.S. government’s support for Israel in the ongoing Gaza conflict. She even considered using her potential performance at the White House to protest by reciting poems from Palestinian women but ultimately decided against it after discussions with her publicist.

    “I was trying to do it as tastefully as I could because all I wanted to do was yell,” she explained. “I had to find something that’s tasteful and to the point, meaningful, and not make it about me and how I feel.”

    Despite her firm stance on U.S. government policies, Roan clarified that her decision not to attend the White House event should not be seen as support for former President Donald Trump. “It’s not so black and white that you hate one and you like the other,” she said, addressing misunderstandings among some fans.

    Roan added, “No matter how you say it, people are still going to be pissed for some reason. I’m not going to go to the White House because I am not going to be a monkey for Pride. And thank God I didn’t go because they just made a huge statement about trans kids a couple weeks ago.”

    Her refusal to stay silent on controversial issues has not hindered her rise to the top of the charts. Roan’s success reflects a growing trend of artists using their platforms to speak up for social justice and political issues, making her not only a musical force but also a voice for change.

  • Yasir Hussain clears the air; Called for legalising theatre dances, not pornography

    Yasir Hussain clears the air; Called for legalising theatre dances, not pornography

    Renowned actor Yasir Hussain has addressed rumors claiming he called for the legalization of pornography, clarifying that he only advocated for the legalization of theatre dances in Lahore to boost government revenue.

    Previously, social media and news outlets alleged that Hussain supported the legalization of pornography after he mentioned “adult entertainment should be legalized” during Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast.

    In a recent interview on Faysal Qureshi’s podcast ‘Pressure Buhat Hey,’ Yasir explained, “The dances in Lahore theatres are considered ‘adult entertainment’ because children do not attend them.”

    Hussain suggested that the government could generate income if these performances, which he said require expensive licenses globally, were legal. He proposed that instead of the standard Rs1,000 ticket price for regular theatre shows, these performances should charge Rs4,000, with the extra amount going to the government.

    “So much revenue could be generated if it were legal. Currently, these shows happen daily, but illegally. If they were legal, the only change would be that the government benefits financially,” he said.

    Hussain pointed out that the government often raids theatres, collects money, and shuts them down, only for the shows to restart days later. He emphasized that this system brings no benefit to the government.

    He further added, “If we were truly pure, Pakistan wouldn’t be ranking first or second in porn consumption. We are involved in this, so why not legalize these dances?”

    He also urged the censor board to assign age ratings to films, a practice used worldwide, to allow the Pakistani film industry to grow. He said that if a movie was restricted to a certain age group, only the producer would face a partial loss, but the film shouldn’t be banned entirely for adults.

    He added that banning content on YouTube was pointless since it could be uploaded on other platforms. He also suggested that PEMRA should impose stricter regulations on television content, as children can easily access inappropriate material with a remote.

    Hussain criticized a recent scene in a TV show where twin sisters accidentally switch husbands, calling it inappropriate and not humorous. He argued that content deemed suitable for films should not be allowed on television, while the same content is being restricted in cinemas.

  • ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ tackles parental favoritism

    ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ tackles parental favoritism

    Smash hit ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ isn’t just a romantic fest, it also sheds light on a societal issue that often remains hidden: the undue emphasis on financial stability as a measure of parental affection. The series explores how this relationship impacts a family, focussing on the experiences of two brothers, Adeel and Mustafa.

    Before marriage, the show shows clear favoritism in the family. As the main provider, Adeel has a lot of say in family decisions, which creates an imbalance. His busy schedule excuses him from family events, leaving Mustafa to handle chores and family duties. Mustafa, who is always there emotionally and helps out, is often ignored compared to Adeel, whose financial success is more valued.


    The family dynamics shift after Adeel marries Rubab, the daughter of a businessman. When their father falls ill, Mustafa and his wife, Sharjeena, manage his care with dedication. However, the arrival of Adeel and Rubab changes the situation. Despite Mustafa and Sharjeena’s efforts, the mother’s focus shifts entirely to Adeel and Rubab, who are praised and asked for additional financial help for the father’s heart surgery. This favoritism highlights the mother’s bias towards her financially successful son.


    Mustafa’s emotional well-being suffers. Despite his significant contributions to his father’s care, he faces belittlement from his mother, and his wife Sharjeena endures unwarranted criticism. The drama emphasizes the emotional toll of such favoritism, as Mustafa’s efforts are overshadowed by his brother’s financial success, leading to a diminished sense of self-worth.


    Sharjeena, Mustafa’s wife, provides a contrasting view. Despite facing resistance from her mother-in-law, she actively participates in household duties and tries to contribute financially. Her efforts challenge traditional gender roles and highlight the bias against women’s financial contributions. The disparity in how Sharjeena and Rubab are treated underscores the prejudices based on socioeconomic status.
