Sharing the news on social media, Ahmad said: “I contracted COVID again. Don’t know if I’ll survive or not.”
The singer-turned-politician further said: “Yes, I’ve enough money for its treatment if it gets worse, but truth is that it is no more fun to just keep living in this world full of poverty, helplessness and deprivation.”
“One needs to change it before going to heaven,” added Jawad.

A woman in China who was attending her son’s wedding realised that the bride-to-be was actually her long-lost daughter.
As per details, the woman recognised the girl from a birthmark on her hand during the wedding ceremony, which took place in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. She then asked the bride’s parents if the girl had been adopted.
The family, at first, was stunned at the question because they had not told anyone that the bride is not their actual daughter.
However, they later revealed that they found the girl on the roadside more than 20 years ago and adopted her, saying that they have always regarded her as their own daughter to love and take care of.
The bride after finding out the truth burst into tears of joy, describing the moment “happier than the wedding day itself”.
Fortunately, the wedding did not get cancelled as the groom’s mother revealed that she had adopted the boy after giving up all hope of finding her daughter.
Prince Harry will produce a documentary about the Invictus Games for disabled military veterans — the first series under a lucrative deal he and wife Meghan Markle signed with Netflix after moving to California last year.
The series will join competitors – all service members who’ve suffered life-changing injuries or illnesses – as they train for the next games in The Hague.
Harry, who served with the British military in Afghanistan, will appear on camera and executive-produce Heart of Invictus, a multi-episode series which follows competitors as they train for next spring’s competition in The Hague.
“This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors on their path to the Netherlands next year,” said Harry in a statement.
The program will be the first released by the couple’s Archewell Productions, which inked a sprawling deal with streaming giant Netflix last September to produce “impactful” films and series.
“As Archewell Productions’ first series with Netflix, in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, I couldn’t be more excited for the journey ahead or prouder of the Invictus community for continuously inspiring global healing, human potential and continued service,” said Harry.
No financial terms were disclosed, but the deal is reported to be multi-year and exclusive to Netflix.
Multiple other projects rumoured to be in development include a nature documentary series and an animated series focused on inspiring women, although former Suits star Markle has no plans to return to acting.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Archewell Productions team are building an ambitious slate that reflects the values and causes they hold dear,” said Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos.
“From the moment I met them, it’s been clear that the Invictus Games hold a very special place in their hearts, and I couldn’t be happier that their first series for Netflix will showcase that for the world in a way never seen before.”
Harry has previously appeared in Paralympics documentary film Rising Phoenix, and launched the first Invictus Games back in 2014.
The couple first went public together at the Games’ September 2017 edition.
The Olympics-style sports event taking place in The Hague in the Netherlands was initially scheduled for 2020 but was twice delayed to spring 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
As well as following their training, the series will also dive into the competitors’ “powerful stories of hope and resilience.”
The couple quit the British royal family and moved to California last year.
An explosive interview they gave to Oprah Winfrey last month — in which they claimed an unnamed royal had asked how dark their baby’s skin would be — plunged the monarchy into its biggest crisis since the death of Lady Diana.
A seemingly hardliner lawyer has taken to court controversial cleric Mufti Abdul Qavi for advising transgender persons to get married.
In his petition, the lawyer has termed the cleric’s statement purely “unnatural”, adding that “such sinful acts would trigger vulgarity in the society”.
In a recent interview, Qavi had advised transgender persons to get married. In an ambiguous statement, he had said that members of the transgender community “can tie the knot like anyone else if they claimed to have either male or female abilities”.
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from the sex that they were assigned at birth.
Reacting to legal action against him, Qavi has maintained that whatever he has said “is also mentioned in the Holy Quran” and if he has said something wrong he is ready to apologise.
He said that a case could not be registered against him over the said statement.
Police in Dubai have arrested 11 Ukrainian women and a Russian man for their involvement in a nude photoshoot on a high-rise balcony after footage of the same went viral, foreign media reported.
Dubai is a top destination for the world’s Instagram influencers and models, who fill their social media feeds with bikini-clad selfies from the coastal city’s luxury hotels and artificial islands.
But the city’s brand as a glitzy foreign tourist destination has at times provoked controversy and collided with Emirates’ strict rules governing public behavior and expression based on Islamic law.
The nude photoshoot scandal comes just days before the holy month of Ramzan and as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lands in nearby Doha, Qatar, for an official state visit.
Over the years, Dubai increasingly has promoted itself as a popular destination for Russians on holiday. Signs in Cyrillic are a common sight at the city’s major malls.
Dubai police announced earlier this week they had arrested a group of people on debauchery charges over a widely-shared video showing naked women posing in broad daylight on a balcony overlooking the city’s upscale Marina neighborhood
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that 11 of the detained women were Ukrainian, while a Russian diplomat in Dubai said the photographer who filmed the naked women held Russian citizenship.
Police declined to identify those detained. More than a dozen women appeared in the video and the nationalities of the others arrested were not immediately known.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar (KRQ), who often makes headlines with his unfiltered remarks, has said that Meray Paas Tum Ho’s infamous ‘Dou Takay ki Larki‘ dialogue was misinterpreted.
Talking to Vasay Chaudhry on his show Ghabrana Mana Hai, the writer clarified that he did not use the word ‘aurat‘ (woman) in the dialogue but specifically wrote ‘larki‘ (girl) for the character of Mehwish, played by Ayeza Khan.
“The word aurat was never used,” said Qamar. “I did not generalise women in this dialogue. I specifically wrote iss larki (this girl).”
The writer further said: “The thing is that I referred to that specific girl only, the one who committed a sin. She does not represent all women. The drama had three more female characters [but] the opportunists forgot to talk about them.”
“They talked rubbish, saying that ‘Do Takkay Ki Aurat‘ was used. I tried to explain the difference to them but no one understood. One even questioned the difference between a girl and a woman? I will meet that person someday and will teach them the difference between a girl and a woman.”
Qamar continued: “Also if someone does not understand the literal meaning of these things, they can come and take classes from me.”
During the interview, KRQ also referred to himself as the flagbearer of women’s rights saying that he is a big advocate of women. The writer added that he only has a problem with the slogans and finds them “ghaleez” (vulgar).
“If you talk about rights, both men and women have rights. Yahan toh sirf elite class kay rights hain,” said Qamar. “The rights of poor men and women have been stolen.”
Meanwhile, the writer-director also addressed his issue with Mahira Khan, saying: “I share a very respectful relationship with Mahira. I respect her a lot and the same was from her side. I was startled to see Mahira’s tweet that what she has written.”
A shop owner in Karachi was robbed by the same robber after the owner released his CCTV footage.
As per reports, a man who robbed half a dozen shops on University Road in Karachi over the course of a few days was captured on CCTV footage during a robbery at a juice centre the other day. He then robbed the same shop again after the owner released the CCTV footage of the incident.
“You shared the CCTV footage of robbery with police that’s why I am here again to loot [your] shop for the second time,” the robber told the shop owner.
A man camouflaged as a cop was recorded on camera robbing a juice center owner on Tuesday.
In the CCTV footage, an armed man wearing a police trouser along with using the number plate of the Sindh police can be seen looting numerous shops on the city’s University Road.
One of the video clips shows him entering the shop and threatening the cashier with a gun as the latter hands him the money.
Disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Khan Tareen has said that his loyalty to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan was being tested, but he is not parting ways with the ruling party.
Speaking to the media after he arrived at a banking court to attend his bail hearing, he was reacting to claims by Shehla Raza of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
Raza had a day earlier claimed that Tareen was soon joining the PPP.
“Not one, not two but three FIRs have been registered against me,” he said on Wednesday. “Out of the 80 sugar mill owners, all they could see was Jahangir Tareen,” he said, questioning why he was being subjected to “revenge”.
The PTI leader said his “loyalty was being tested”. He added that an inquiry against him, relating to the sugar crisis, has been going on for the last year.
He lamented that his accounts as well as those belonging to his son, Ali Tareen, had been frozen. “Why have my accounts been frozen? Who is doing this? Who benefits from this?” he asked. Tareen said he was “asking for justice from (PTI) [League of Justice]”, adding that he was a friend, but being “pushed towards enmity”.
In response to a question, Tareen said it was time to expose those involved in a conspiracy against him. He said PM Imran could expose the person who was hell-bent on exacting revenge against him.
Despite his grievances against the ruling party, Tareen said he was not parting ways with the PTI. “I am a member of the PTI and will remain so,” he said.
When a reporter asked Tareen whether he was about to meet former president and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari, he said the reports were baseless.
After testing negative for the novel coronavirus, Kartik Aaryan gifted himself a brand new Lamborghini Urus. This machine by the Italian automakers cost him a whopping INR 4.5 crores (approx PKR 9 crores).
Sharing the news with his fans, Kartik posted a video of himself with the car saying: “Kharid li…. Par main shayad mehengi cheezon ke liye bana hi nahi hoon.”
In the video, Kartik could be seen posing with his new Lamborghini, when suddenly he loses his balance due to a big celebratory burst of confetti from behind.
According to reports, this four-wheeled luxury car had to be airlifted from Italy as Kartik couldn’t wait for the normal three months waiting period. Sources said that Kartik paid an extra half a crore just to get the car delivered to him faster.
Aaryan later confirmed the news while thanking Lamborghini Mumbai for “arranging the airlifting in record time”.
The luxurious Lamborghini Urus is known for its classy interiors, sexy silhouette, and a jaw-dropping top speed of 305 kmph.
Along with the Lamborghini Kartik owns a BMW which he bought in 2017, and a Mini Cooper, which he bought for his mother in 2019 since it was her favourite car.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik has several exciting projects lined up including comic supernatural thriller Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, crime-thriller Dhamaka, and Karan Johar’s Dostana 2.
In what would be damning for not only the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) but also key Punjab players among others, sugar baron Jahangir Khan Tareen is likely to soon join the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
According to PPP senior leader Shehla Raza, Tareen has met JDW chairperson and veteran PPP politician Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood.
“Next week he will also meet former president Asif Ali Zardari in Karachi. I believe during this meeting he will announce quitting the PTI and joining the PPP along with his companions,” she tweeted.
Tareen, a former aide and close friend of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, has been at odds with the premier ever since the government went after him and his family members during the sugar crisis probe.
The development comes days after registration of cases against Tareen and his son by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) was reported.
If Tareen does join the PPP, it could mean a severe blow to the PTI in Punjab where it is said to be in power only due to the support Tareen garnered for incumbent Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar.
The claims, however, have reportedly been rubbished by Tareen.
Jehangir Tareen has denied joining/meeting with the PPP Leadership
