Actor Azekah Daniel took to Twitter to share the reason for walking out of a talk show’s set. The Cheekh actress schooled the comedians on the show of being oblivious to the fine line between joking and bullying. The Noor Jehan star showed her disapproval over the nature of jokes made.

She stated, “So today I walked out of a show because some comedians clearly don’t understand the difference between humour or degrading someone. Tears rolled down as I left the set full of people. Jokes are meant to be funny not hurt someone’s feelings.”
Netizens appreciated Daniel for not taking insensitive jokes with a pinch of salt and for shaming such humour publicly.
Bigg Boss 14 contestant and social media star Sonali Phogat’s sudden demise has left her family and fans in a state of shock. Earlier it was reported that the BJP leader passed away due to a cardiac arrest, however, her autopsy report brought shocking details to the forefront.
Recently, Sonali’s post-mortem report surfaced on the web and it stated that there were multiple ‘blunt force injuries. Following the results, Goa police have now filed a murder case.

Sonali, who rose to fame with TikTok videos, passed away on August 22.
Phogat’s death soon took an ugly turn. According to the latest media reports, the BJP leader was drugged during a party before her death. Shocking, right? Reportedly, her associates Sudhir Sagwan and Sukhwinder, who were recently interrogated by the Goa police for their connection with the alleged murder, had mixed a chemical in her drink.
Giving details of Sonali Phogat’s case, Goa Inspector General Omvir Singh Bishnoi told a section of media, “It was seen that one suspect gave her some substance forcefully. She was given some obnoxious chemical and after that, she was not in control.”
“At 4:30 am when she was not in control, the suspect took her in the toilet and there is no explanation of what they did for two hours. The duo are arrested. The FSL team will take them to various places. The duo will be produced in court soon. Seems to be that she died under the influence of this drug,” added the officer.
Soon after Sonal Phogat’s autopsy report had surfaced, police had begun interrogating his close aides. It was being said they were just questioned and not arrested. On the other hand, the BJP leader’s family alleges that she was r*ped by her assistants.
The alleged murderers mixed a chemical in her drink.
The latest report from Republic World, Sonali Phogat’s assistant Sudhir Sangwan, who is accused of her murder, has now confessed to his crimes during the investigation. She was brought to Goa from Gurgaon in the garb of a photo shoot.
The report quoted a source close to the Goa police as saying, “There was no planning to shoot in Goa. Sudhir and his aide had actually conspired to murder Phogat.” His aide Sukhwinder Singh, restaurateur Edwin Nunes, and alleged drug peddlers Dattaprasad Gaonkar and Ramdas Mandrekar are also being arrested for Phogat’s death.
Goa police had also confirmed that all the relevant documents have been recovered that are enough to get Sudhir Sangwan convicted in the murder case. They have now enough proof to stand strong in court during the trial.
Previous reports revealed that Sonali Phogat and her aides partied at the Curlies restaurant on the intervening night of August 22 and 23. CCTV footage of the incident also went viral on social media. In the video, Sudhir Sangwan was seen forcing Phogat to have a drink laced with drugs.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Jivba Dalvi had said that Phogat was administered methamphetamine, and some left-over drug was recovered from the restaurant’s washroom.
Earlier this year when actor Ayesha Omar shared a horse-riding video from the sets of her film, Rehbra costarring Ahsan Khan, her post received backlash over their supposed explicit pose. The Bulbulay diva later edited the caption to include a note specifically aimed at those who had something unpleasant to say about it.
“P.s. turned off comments! Don’t want negative energy around. We just doing our work baby and laughing through the hard, tough shoot to keep our energy, mood and focus up. It was freezing and raining and we hadn’t slept properly in days because of nonstop shoot. We had 30 minutes to finish the entire sequence. We still put in our best with smiles on our faces. And that’s NOT easy,” she wrote in the caption.

The duo was quick to respond on their personal profiles, with Omar adding in a short note in her original post’s caption. In the note, Omar clarifies the context of the clip, including the cast keeping up morale in the midst of difficult shooting conditions. She wraps up her note by shutting down all unfounded rumors about a romantic relationship between her and Khan.
The Udaari hero also posted an Instagram story to defend the film from the trolls, taking a more humorous approach. He directly addresses the trolls who have torn apart a simple scene from the film.

Now the Fraud star has opened up on the scene in an exclusive interview with anchor Shahzad Iqbal on his show, Jashn-e-Cricket.
Although initially Ahsan couldn’t control his laughter on being teased by Shahzad for the scene, later he revealed that the video was misinterpreted by netizens.
Khan also shared the context of the scene and justified the duo’s positioning on the horse.
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is known for her unfiltered statements. From calling out ‘movie mafia’ to slamming filmmaker Karan Johar, she has always bluntly raised her points. Now she has accused director Mahesh Bhatt of casually inciting people for violence.
The Queen actor took to her verified Instagram handle and shared a series of video stories, which featured Mahesh Bhatt. In the videos, Bhatt can be addressing a crowd. Ranaut also alleged that his ‘real name’ was not Mahesh, but ‘Aslam’. In the following story, which had another part of the same video, she wrote, “I am told his (Mahesh Bhatt) real name is Aslam… he converted to marry his second wife (Soni Razdan)… it is a beautiful name, why hide it?”
Kangana added, “He must use his real name, not represent a certain religion, when he has converted…”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYEhJTOwrA&t=48s
Commenting on another one where Bhatt is seen speaking about Islam as a peaceful religion and quoting a verse from the Holy Quran, she added, “I am told his real name is Aslam. He converted to marry his second wife (Soni Razdan) It is a beautiful name, why hide it?”
She further wrote, “He must use his real name, not represent a certain religion when he has converted.”
This was not the first time when the 35-year-old actor has targeted the veteran director. In 2020, she had accused the filmmaker of assaulting her when she turned down his daughter Pooja Bhatt’s film. On the other hand, before the release of Mahesh’s daughter Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, Ranaut had taken an indirect dig at father-daughter duo. While slamming them on her Instagram stories, she said that the film’s blunder was “wrong casting,” referring to Alia as “daddy’s angel” and Mahesh as “movie mafia.”
Earlier this year the Woh Lamhe siren strongly criticised a video of a little girl who recreated a scene of Alia Bhatt’s upcoming biopic film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. An Instagram influencer, Kiara Khanna who is also known as ‘chhoti Alia Bhatt’, re-enacted a dialogue of Alia from her upcoming film which went viral across social media.
She shared two screenshots on Instagram stories and tagged Minister of Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani.
She penned, “Should this child imitate a sex worker with a beedi in her mouth and crude and obscene dialogues? Look at her body language, is it ok to sexualize her at this age? There are hundreds of other children who are being used similarly.”
The film is based on the life of a real sex worker based in Mumbai who is mentioned in the book ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ by S. Hussain Zaidi. It is being released under the banner of Bhansali Productions with the collaboration of Pen India Limited. Ajay Devgn and Vijay Raaz will also be seen in interesting roles.
She also slammed Deepika Padukone and Ananya‘s film, Gehraiyaan.
She wrote, “I am also a millennial but I identify and understand this kind of romance … in the name of millennial/new age/urban movies don’t sell trash pls … bad movies are bad movies no amount of skin show or p*rnography can _ save it … it’s a basic fact koi gehraiyaan wali baat nahi hai (there is no depth in it).”
Pakistan’s wicket keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan made another record by surpassing India’s former skipper Virat Kohli after his stellar performance in high-voltage Pakistan-India match on Sunday.

Pakistani Army expressing extreme displeasure over Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s recent statement against the establishment and said that the institution was “aghast” over it.
“Pakistan Army is aghast at the defamatory and uncalled for statement about the senior leadership of Pakistan Army by Chairman PTI during a political rally at Faisalabad. Regrettably, an attempt has been made to discredit and undermine senior leadership of Pakistan Army at a time when the institution is laying lives for the security and safety of the people of Pakistan every day,” said the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“Senior politicians trying to stir controversies on appointment of COAS of Pakistan Army, the procedure for which is well defined in the constitution, is most unfortunate and disappointing. Senior leadership of Army has decades long impeccable meritorious service to prove its patriotic and professional credentials beyond any doubt,” read the statement.
“Politicising the senior leadership of Pakistan Army and scandalizing the process of selection of COAS is neither in the interest of the state of Pakistan nor of the institution. Pakistan Army reiterates its commitment to uphold the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”
Khan on Sunday, September 4, alleged that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and Zardari wanted to appoint their favourite as COAS because if a “strong and patriotic army chief” came, they would be questioned about their corruption.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari, and veteran politician Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain have slammed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for his remarks on the incoming Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
Criticising the federal government on delaying elections, Imran Khan said that the government is buying time to “appoint an army chief of their own choice.”
Questioning the incumbent , Khan asked “Why are they [government] afraid of fresh elections”? He said that it was because they knew that they would be eliminated in transparent elections.

“The army chief of this country should be on merit. The one who is on merit should become the next army chief,” said Khan.
Reactions of Shehbaz, Zardari and Shujaat over Khan’s remarks
Reacting to Khan’s statement, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif tweeted that Niazi’s despicable utterances to “malign institutions” are touching new levels every day.
“He is now indulging in direct mud-slinging & poisonous allegations against Armed Forces & its leadership. His nefarious agenda is clearly to disrupt & undermine Pakistan,” tweeted the premier.
Imran Niazi’s despicable utterances to malign institutions are touching new levels every day. He is now indulging in direct mud-slinging & poisonous allegations against Armed Forces & its leadership. His nefarious agenda is clearly to disrupt & undermine Pakistan.
PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari said that they will not allow the institutions and generals to become controversial for Khan’s lust for power.
“Today everyone has come to know who the man and the beast are. This person [Imran Khan] has taken a contract from somewhere to weaken this country which cannot happen in our lifetime,” tweeted Zardari.
اس شخص نے اس ملک کو کمزور کرنے کا کہیں سے ٹھیکہ لیا ہوا ہے جو ہمارے جیتے جی نہیں ہوسکتا، صدر زرداری
ہم اپنے اداروں اور جرنیلوں کو اس شخص کی ہوس کی خاطر متنازع نہیں بننے دیں گے، صدر زرداری
ہمارے ہر سپاہی سے لیکر جرنیل تک ہر ایک بہادر اور محبت وطن ہے، صدر زرداری
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain reacting to Khan’s statement said, “In Pakistan every General is a patriot. From a soldier to general no one needs a certificate of patriotism from anyone. The country will not allow any one to involve the establishment in their jalsa for their own politics.”

Before facing Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super 4, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid had all praise for his team’s bowling attack. Dravid claimed during a news conference that while India’s bowling attack might not be as ‘glamorous’ as their Pakistani counterparts, they still do the job.
He was attempting to explain this when he ran out of a term, but he quickly came up with another way to make his point.
After India defeated Pakistan in the group round, the two Asian powerhouses clashed for the second time in the competition.
“They are a good bowling side, but we also bowled well to restrict them to 147 (in the first match),” Dravid said on being asked whether Pakistan has a better bowling line-up.
“End of the day bowling analysis is the most important thing. You are judged by the results you produce. I respect their bowling but I am very confident that we have a good bowling attack that produces results.”
On the eve of the prestigious game, the former captain told the media: “(Our bowling) might not look very glamorous but in terms of results we got some guys who produce results.”
Avesh Khan, a pace bowler, is still questionable for the crucial game.
“Avesh has been under the weather but hopefully he should be okay for tomorrow or for the later part of the tournament,” said Dravid.
Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Yuzvendra Chahal are the speed alternatives for India’s bowling unit, which is led by veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Axar Patel, who took Ravindra Jadeja’s place due to injury, and Yuzvendra Chahal are the spin possibilities.
In Dravid’s opinion, the team will be put to the test in tight contests against Pakistan before the T20 World Cup in October-November.
“We know Pakistan is a good team and it is a challenging match,” said Dravid.
“It will be a packed stadium and there is always an edge to these games and it’s good to play such games where you are tested. It’s good to play such tournaments before the World Cup.”
Three of Pakistan’s fast bowlers, including star quick Shaheen Shah Afridi, suffered injuries, but Naseem Shah’s rapid bowling has kept the opposition’s batters on their toes.
Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has come to the defence of India’s young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh who is being trolled for dropping Asif Ali’s catch in a high-voltage Pakistan vs India Match in the Asia Cup on Sunday.
Right-wing Indian fans are trolling Arshdeep for his age or calling him anti-national. “My request to all Indian team fans. In sports, we make mistakes as humans. Please don’t humiliate anyone for these mistakes,” wrote the Pakistani cricketer in support of the Indian sportsman.
My request to all Indian team fans. In sports we make mistakes as we r human. Please don’t humiliate anyone on these mistakes. @arshdeepsinghh
Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh also extended his support to the young cricketer. “Stop criticising young @arshdeepsinghh .. No one dropped the catch purposely..we are proud of our boys .. Pakistan played better.. shame on such people who r putting our own guys down by saying cheap things on this platform bout arsh and team.. Arsh is GOLD.” he tweeted.
Stop criticising young @arshdeepsinghh No one drop the catch purposely..we are proud of our 🇮🇳 boys .. Pakistan played better.. shame on such people who r putting our own guys down by saying cheap things on this platform bout arsh and team.. Arsh is GOLD🇮🇳
Arshdeep Singh is 23. For heavens sake, this is a bloody match, some of the best players have dropped a catch on a bad day. He fought it out till the last over, he braved it with a smile on his face while you anonymous keyboard warriors doled out certificates of patriotism.
Arshdeep Singh should be super proud of the bowling efforts, after that drop, anyone could have easily given but he dragged the game in the final over.
It’s a pity how one loss can affect so much to the people that they decide to ridicule a 23-year-old boy, who is being called a khalistani, has his Wikipedia page defaced and what not. Arshdeep Singh is made for great things that he will achieve in times to come. #AsiaCup2022
After a blazing start by India, Pakistan bowlers did well to halt India’s march, restricting the defending champions to 181/7 in 20 overs.
Chasing 182, Pakistan achieved the target with one ball to spare. Pakistan will play its second Super Four stage match against Afghanistan on Wednesday.
The London Nahi Jaunga diva shared that she’s disappointed by Bollywood celebrities for their lack of support for Pakistan at a time when the country is facing devastating floods while celebrities across the world were expressing concern like Bella Hadid and Engin Altan.
Mehwish took to her Instagram Stories to share a note by journalist Haroon Rashid, who hosts a show on BBC. Acknowledging his post and calling his point ‘valid’, she wrote, “The silence from the Bollywood fraternity is deafening.
In his original post, Haroon had said, “I genuinely thought humanity knows no borders but it’s telling that hardly any Bollywood stars have posted about the devastating floods in Pakistan – raise awareness, share links, just show sympathy. They know how popular they are and how much that acknowledgment would mean.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYEhJTOwrA&t=46s
Pakistan is in a state of national emergency with over 1,200 dead, over 12,000 injured and tens of millions displaced.
Mehwish said, ‘Suffering knows no nationality, race, or religion – no better time for them to show us that they can rise above nationalist politics and care about their fans in Pakistan. We are hurting and a kind word or two would not go amiss.”
Last November, Hayat spoke out against the stereotypical and problematic portrayal of Muslims in major Bollywood films.
The Tamgha-e-Imtiaz recipient turned to her Instagram stories to call out Rohit Shetty’s latest directorial Sooryavanshi.
The Punjab Nahi Jaungi star also urged Bollywood to ‘build bridges’ not ‘hatred’ in their movies.
Former interior minister and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed said on Sunday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will give a call to his supporters to march towards Islamabad once the flood situation eases down.
Rasheed took to his Twitter handle and warned: “Sitambar Sitamgar ho ga (September will be cruel)”.
The former federal minister pointed out that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has made yet another agreement of Rs608 billion with the government. “First they robbed the treasury and now the people’s pockets”, he said.
“Floods have opened the eyes of the people of Sindh, the floods have destroyed the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) reputation. How will other countries give aid when the people of the country refuse to give money to money launderers?”
He said that the people can not bear the burden of increasing petrol and power prices, yet the “government continues to raise them”.
سیلاب نےPDMکی ساکھ راکھ بنادی،لوٹاممبران کی عوام شکل نہی دیکھناچاہتے،جن منی لانڈرزکواپنے لوگ چندہ دینے کو تیار نہی دوسرےملک کیسے دیں گے،لوگوں میں پٹرول لینےاور بجلی کا بل دینے کی سکت نہی آپ مزید اضافہ کرنے جارہے ہیں،ستمبر ستمگرہوگا،سیلاب اترے گاتوعمران خان اسلام آباد کی کال دےگا
In a series of tweets, he said that IMF knows that there is a weak majority of the government and people can come to the streets.
“The time is not far when factories and shops will be closed, people will be on the streets”, he warned again while adding that floods have become a matter of “political point scoring”.
حکومت کو ممنوعہ فنڈنگ،توشہ خانہ اورتوہین عدالت کیسز سے کچھ نہیں ملے گا۔وزیروں کاجمعہ بازارلگا ہے،کئی وزیربے محکمہ،بے دفتراور آئین سے زیادہ ہیں۔میں انکی آئین سے اضافی تعداد پرہائیکورٹ جاسکتا ہوں۔بجلی کے بل یا چوہلے میں سےایک ہی چل سکتا ہے۔اپنےبچوں کوبھوک سے مرتےکوئی نہیں دیکھ سکتا
Rasheed’s statement came a day after Imran Khan warned the government to stop the “persecution” of his party workers otherwise he will again march on Islamabad.
He said the government would have “no place to hide” in the event he comes to Islamabad.
