    Rohit Sharma’s chat with Zaheer Khan goes viral

    Rohit Sharma finds himself under immense pressure as he struggles to find form in IPL 2025. The former Mumbai Indians (MI) captain has had a tough start to the season, managing scores of 0, 8, and 13 in his first three matches.

    His inability to start strong has directly impacted MI’s performance, with the team securing just one win in three games. They currently sit in sixth place on the points table, having lost their first two matches before registering a victory at their home ground, Wankhede Stadium.

    As MI prepares to take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium on Friday, a conversation between Rohit Sharma and LSG mentor Zaheer Khan has taken social media by storm.

    In the viral clip, Rohit is heard saying, “Jo jab karna tha, maine kiya barabar se, ab mereko kuch karne ki zarurat nahi hai” (Whatever had to be done, I did it properly, now I don’t need to do anything). The interaction, followed by Rishabh Pant playfully hugging Rohit from behind, has led to widespread speculation about its context.

    Rohit Sharma’s form in the IPL has been a cause for concern for some time. So far, in IPL 2025, he has accumulated just 21 runs in three innings at an average of 7.00 and a strike rate of 105.00, with his highest score being 13. A closer look at his performances over the years reveals an inconsistent record.

    Since 2017, he has crossed the 400-run mark in a season only twice—405 runs in 2019 and 417 runs in 2024.

    Among the 15 players who have scored at least 2,500 IPL runs since 2017, Rohit has the lowest strike rate of 130.09. In 118 matches during this period, he has scored 2,775 runs at an average of 25.00, with one century and 14 half-centuries.

    Historically, Lucknow Super Giants have not been Rohit’s most favourable opponents. In six innings against LSG, he has scored 165 runs at an average of 27.50 and a strike rate of 142.24. His highest score against them is 68, and he has managed just one half-century.

    With both MI and LSG struggling for consistency in IPL 2025—each having won just one of their three matches—Friday’s clash will be crucial. As MI look to turn their campaign around, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma, hoping he can rediscover his touch and lead his team to victory.

  • Three sisters gunned down in revenge murders

    Three sisters gunned down in revenge murders

    The chilling murder of three sisters in Dera Ismail Khan has sent shockwaves across the country, leaving residents gripped with fear.

     The incident took place in the Ramak area of Tehsil Proa, where unidentified gunmen opened fire on the three young women, killing them on the spot.

    Local police have said that the incident seems to be a continuation of a prior personal dispute. 


    The sisters were said to have participated in the killing of a lady who was the sister of a man named Haroon a few months prior. 

    The sisters had been accused of stabbing Haroon’s sister. Tensions between the two families increased after the murder. 

    According to police sources, Haroon demanded revenge and put forward a disturbing condition for reconciliation. 

    He allegedly informed the brothers of the deceased women, Siddiq and Younis, that any hope of a settlement or forgiveness would only be possible if they avenged his sister’s death by killing their own sisters. 

    In an unexpected twist of events, Siddiq and Younis are accused of conspiring with Haroon to kill their own  blood rather than defending their siblings. 

    Authorities have confirmed that the murders were not the result of a broader tribal or group conflict, but rather a calculated and shocking act of mutual agreement between the involved parties.

    Police are trying to apprehend everyone involved in the horrible act while investigations are still in progress. 

    It brings up significant problems about the social ideals of honor, revenge, and justice particularly in places where personal grudges are still resolved out of court, sometimes with tragic consequences.

  • Minahil Malik breaks silence after second round of alleged leaks

    Minahil Malik breaks silence after second round of alleged leaks

    TikToker Minahil Malik is once again at the center of a social media storm following the leak of another alleged video. The video, which surfaced shortly after her return from Umrah, has gone viral, leading to a new wave of criticism and support.


    In the video, Minahil Malik is seen wearing a short dress while filming herself. A few moments later, she can allegedly be seen sitting on the floor in a compromising state.

    In response to the leaked content, which many are labeling as fake, Minahil has defended herself, claiming that the videos were artificially created using AI technology. She stated, “I have filed a complaint with the FIA and hope that the culprits will be behind bars soon.”


    In an emotional message shared on social media, Minahil addressed her critics, saying, “Those who are doing me wrong, do it with passion. Now that I have become Minahil, it doesn’t matter if anyone hates me.” She emphasized, “I have forgiven everyone by going to Allah’s house.”


    Minahil also sarcastically remarked, “If I were characterless, why would Allah invite me to His house? My case is now in the hands of Allah, so please don’t try to be my father.” She further clarified that only her family had stood by her during difficult times.

    This isn’t the first time Minahil Malik has faced a video scandal; a similar incident occurred last year when alleged private videos leaked. However, this time, her demeanor seems notably more confident and carefree than before, as she navigates the controversy.


    The incident has reignited discussions about privacy protection and online harassment, particularly concerning social media platforms and the younger generation. While some fans are rallying behind Minahil, others are accusing her of using the situation to gain attention and fame.

    As the debate continues, it’s clear that this controversy has touched a nerve, highlighting the challenges of digital privacy and the effects of online criticism.

  • Copa del Rey: Barcelona secure narrow win against Atletico Madrid for El Clasico final

    Copa del Rey: Barcelona secure narrow win against Atletico Madrid for El Clasico final

    Barcelona narrowly edged past Atletico Madrid on aggregate to set up a meeting with Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey.

    It will be the eighth time there has been an El Clasico in the Spanish Cup final, with the nation’s two most successful club sides set to meet on April 26 in Seville.

    Ferran Torres’ first-half effort proved decisive for Barcelona at Metropolitano Stadium, with the Spain forward poking the ball past Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso after Lamine Yamal’s superb pass had split the home defence.

    It was no more than the visitors deserved, with 17-year-old Yamal a constant source of danger and Raphinha also twice threatening to extend Barca’s lead.

    Unlike the thrilling first-leg tie in February, when Diego Simeone’s side twice scored late on in a dramatic 4-4 draw, this was a tighter and more tense affair without the grandstand finish from Atletico.

    The hosts did have opportunities.

    Substitute Alexander Sorloth elected to shoot instead of squaring the ball to Antoine Griezmann for a tap-in, while the Norway forward was also ruled offside after rattling in what he thought was an equaliser.

    However, in truth, Atletico were second best to Hansi Flick’s side for long periods, with the record 31-time winners always appearing relatively comfortable as they extended their unbeaten run to 21 games across all competitions.

    The Catalan club remain the only side in Europe’s top-five leagues yet to lose in 2025 and remain on course for a potential quadruple.

    Barca, who have already won the Spanish Super Cup this term, lead the La Liga table by three points from Real Madrid.

    They also host Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on April 9.

    Meanwhile, the final against Carlo Ancelotti’s team in Seville will come just over two weeks before a potentially pivotal fixture between the clubs in the Spanish top flight.

  • Imran Khan agrees to ‘negotiating with establishment’: report

    Imran Khan agrees to ‘negotiating with establishment’: report

    Jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister (PM) Imran Khan has agreed to “negotiating with the establishment”, and in this regard, assigned Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM) Ali Amin Gandapur as well as KP government adviser Barrister Saif the responsibility of seeing it through.

    Reports quoted sources as saying that the development came after CM Gandapur and Saif convinced the incarcerated leader to engage in talks with the establishment, and the potential negotiations would remain confidential until any progress was made. A second meeting between Khan and Gandapur is expected in the coming days.

    It may be noted that the claims come a day after the KP chief executive, who was earlier reported to be the messenger between the jailed ex-PM and establishment, met Khan at Adiala Jail on Wednesday after over a month. The meeting continued for two and a half hours as the two leaders discussed institutional confrontations and criticism of party leadership on social media. CM Gandapur also briefed Khan on provincial matters.

    Meanwhile, PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram has dismissed reports about the meeting, saying that false claims were being circulated. “No one went to convince the PTI founder to negotiate,” he told a private media outlet, rubbishing claims that Khan had tasked anyone with talks.

    He condemned efforts to twist facts for the government’s benefit and clarified that Khan’s discussion with Gandapur revolved around provincial government and party-related matters.

    “Gandapur will present Khan’s directives before the party’s political committee,” Akram added.

    Days earlier, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar had also dismissed speculations about a deal with the establishment, clarifying that the party had “simply reestablished contacts”.

    It is pertinent to note that this isn’t the first time PTI-establishment talks have been reported, as they were also speculated in January following a meeting between Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir and top PTI leadership.

    Said reports have repeatedly drawn mixed reactions from party workers and the general public alike over confusion within PTI quarters over its policy towards the government amid rhetoric hitting out at state institutions.

    The divide has also repeatedly been highlighted by political analysts, who maintain that the contradictory statements by different leaders of the troubled party only further tarnish its image following a countrywide crackdown rooted in “politics of agitation”.

    The PTI, on the other hand, continues to plead innocence. It also says that jailed Khan has the final say on all party-related matters.

  • No Peace Prize for Imran Khan this year: Norwegian press

    No Peace Prize for Imran Khan this year: Norwegian press

    Amid conflicting reports on Imran Khan’s alleged nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, state-run Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) has claimed that the former Pakistan prime minister (PM) will not be considered for the award this year, and has shed light on possible political motives behind the announcement. 

    The incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder was last week reported to have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Centre Party. The alleged nomination had sparked widespread speculation as the Nobel Institute itself does not confirm or deny any nominations for the prize until 50 years have passed.  

    With the news and counterclaims drawing global attention, the Norwegian press has quoted Nobel Institute Director Kristian Berg Harpviken as saying that the announcement by Norwegian Centre Party leader Geir Lippestad appeared to be an attempt at gaining maximum support from the Pakistani-Norwegian community for a seat in the parliament.

    Harpviken criticised the move, stating it was the first time a Norwegian politician had used the Nobel Peace Prize for personal political ambitions, and warned of multiple consequences. He expressed concern over the potential creation of a false impression that a Norwegian politician could influence the nomination process, and said it could cast doubts over the credibility of the prize, besides raising security concerns for both the nominee and the nominator.

    While Lippestad has defended his stance, stating that Norwegian politicians have previously discussed Nobel nominations, Harpviken emphasised that this case was unique since the politician was not yet a member of the Storting – supreme legislature of Norway – but was seeking to be one.

    “There have been many cases of sitting MPs being open about who they have nominated. What is special here is that a person who is not a member of the Storting, but wants to be there, promises specifically who he will nominate,” Harpviken said.

    Lippestad, however, maintained it was not his intention to use the nomination announcement for any political gains.”It is not our point to use this for any election campaign proposal, but to lift Imran Khan and his work. And not least what is happening in Pakistan now.  Many are imprisoned without trial, and many are tortured. That is what we are concerned about.”

    The NRK report, published a week after the announcement by the Norwegian party and consequent attention, further said that the deadline for nominations for this year’s Peace Prize was January 31. This means that Khan – even if someone with the right to nominate had nominated him – would not be considered for the award this year.

  • ‘Choose better movies’; Salman Khan’s ‘Sikander’ turns into mega flop

    ‘Choose better movies’; Salman Khan’s ‘Sikander’ turns into mega flop

    Salman Khan’s latest Eid release, Sikandar, was expected to be a massive hit, but it has left many of his fans disappointed. Despite the usual hype surrounding his festive releases, the film received poor reviews and failed to make a strong impact at the box office.

    Just a few days after its release, the backlash has grown, with even Salman’s loyal fans criticizing his performance. Many have called it “uninspired” and “lackluster,” labelling Sikandar as the “biggest misfire” from Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.

    Social media is flooded with criticism, with fans pointing out that Salman’s portrayal of the main character seemed “lazy” and “stiff.”

    One devoted fan, known as Freak4Salman, wrote, “Laut aao purane @BeingSalmanKhan bhai, love you forever #SalmanKhan,” longing for the actor’s energy of earlier years.

    Another fan openly admitted, “Let’s be honest—Sikandar is the biggest misfire. No more excuses, no forced appreciation. We don’t need to defend a weak product.”

    One expressed deep disappointment, saying,  “I don’t like to see Salman Khan like this—in the trailer, in the songs. It was difficult to watch him in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan too. Lazy, uninterested, half AI, half human. No chemistry with the lead actress, and forced action scenes and dialogues. As a die-hard fan, I can only request—please choose better movies, better scripts, better dialogues. We need real stories, real acting, and your charm back on screen.”

    Adding to the trouble, the AR Murugadoss-directed film was leaked online just hours after its release. It was uploaded on several illegal websites, allowing people to download and watch it for free. Reports suggest that the leak started with camcorder recordings from cinemas, which were later upgraded to HD quality and widely shared.

    Sikandar also features Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi alongside Salman Khan. However, with weak reviews and online piracy, the film’s success at the box office remains uncertain.

The moment was captured in a video posted by travel YouTuber Mac Candee (also known as Worldnomac), who recently arrived in Pakistan for an adventurous trip.

    Mac Candee, known for exploring unique cultural experiences, shared his excitement about returning to Pakistan after 18 months. “I have been here three times in the past, but this time I wanted to see a side of the country that I had never experienced before,” he wrote on Instagram, teasing his upcoming travel series.

    On his first day in Lahore, he set out to explore the Walled City, reflecting on his past visits. “It was my first morning back in Pakistan, and my mind was flooding with all of the memories from the last time I had visited the city of Lahore. But enough reminiscing—it is time to explore Pakistan!” he said in the video.

    As he cruised through the city, he met Suhail Warraich, calling him a “Pakistani legend.” The journalist not only guided him through the historic streets but also surprised viewers with his sense of humour and enthusiasm.

    One of the most unexpected moments came when Warraich joined a musical performance featuring the famous Money Heist anthem, Bella Ciao. The scene quickly went viral as fans saw a different side of the journalist.

    Adding to the humour, a local jokingly said,  “If you have no tissue, you can use your hair,” making Mac Candee laugh. The vlogger also expressed his excitement by saying, “Lahore Lahore hai,” embracing the city’s lively energy.

    Princess of Wales wins hearts by re-wearing Pakistani outfit on Eid

    The Princess of Wales, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, once again captured desi hearts by visiting the Muslim community on Eid while re-wearing her elegant Élan outfit, first seen during her visit to Pakistan under PM Imran Khan’s government.

    Elan designer Khadija Shah, the creative director of Élan, shared a video on her Instagram, expressing her admiration for the Princess’s choice. She wrote,

    “A Princess with no limit to what she can acquire, exhibiting values that a world obsessed with overconsumption, vulgar display of wealth, frivolity, and flippancy is losing. With so much deprivation, starvation, and strife, how you put yourself across sends a strong message about who you are and what you stand for. So proud to have the Princess representing the Élan woman—there could be no better example of dignity, strength, and resilience.”

    Fans were delighted to see the princess embrace modest fashion, with many praising her for promoting sustainability in a world obsessed with excess. Despite having unlimited access to luxury, she chose to repeat an outfit, sending a powerful message about humility, dignity, and responsibility.

    The outfit, which symbolizes strength and grace, resonated deeply with admirers. Many expressed pride in seeing the princess represent Élan, a brand known for its sophistication.

    Fans share their reactions


    “She looks beautiful with a scarf, Mashallah!”

     “What a proud moment! You should relaunch this outfit!”

     “Catherine Elizabeth Middleton is an inspiration! I tell my daughters how she reuses and recycles clothes just like Diana.”

    “Unlike Maryam Nawaz, who lacks values and accountability, the Princess leads by example.”

    Her choice to repeat an outfit not only reflects grace and simplicity but also sets a precedent for sustainable fashion, making her a true role model in the modern world.
