The Corporate Crime Circle of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested supermodel Nadia Hussain’s husband Atif Khan during a raid at their residence in DHA Phase 6 in Karachi. 

According to reports, Atif Khan is involved in a fraud case exceeding Rs 540 million. He has been accused of corporate financial fraud following a complaint by the Group Head of a private bank’s securities division.

Atif Khan, the former CEO of the bank’s securities division, allegedly misused bank funds for personal business ventures. To conceal financial mismanagement, he reportedly tampered with company records.

Reports indicate that Atif “prepared fake financial statements and other forged documents to execute large-scale fraud.”

The FIA has obtained a two-day remand for further investigation.

Actor Arez Ahmed has revealed that a fellow actress persistently pursued him for a relationship and marriage, even after he married Hiba Bukhari.

The couple recently appeared on Nida Yasir’s Ramzan show, where they discussed personal and professional matters.  

During the conversation, Arez addressed the criticism Hiba faced during her pregnancy. He questioned, “What should a pregnant woman do? If she doesn’t go out with her belly, should she just stay home with it?”  

She also expressed her frustration over being criticised for working and doing photoshoots while pregnant. “Is pregnancy a disease or a disability that I should stop working?” she asked.  

In a segment of the show, Hiba playfully asked Arez if any actress had ever tried to pursue him before their marriage.  

Arez Ahmed admitted, “An actress tried to be in a relationship with me, and she had been after me for a long time.”  

Without naming the actress, he further revealed, “Even after my marriage with Hiba was fixed, she kept pressuring me to marry her.”  

He firmly stated, “Even if I hadn’t married Hiba Bukhari, I still wouldn’t have married that actress.”

A recent video of actress Hira Soomro confronting TV host Muhammad Shoaib for arriving late to a recording has gone viral. While many social media users believed the moment was real, it has now been revealed that the entire exchange was scripted and planned by the show’s host.

Hira Soomro appeared on PTV’s Rising Pakistan, where she engaged in a discussion about her career. However, a particular clip from the show sparked debate, showing Hira seemingly upset with the host for his late arrival.

In the video, Muhammad Shoaib sets up a scenario, telling Hira, “Let’s create a situation because you have a natural way of acting.” He then describes a scene where she arrives on time, while he, as the host, is late and throwing tantrums. Hira, appearing confused, asks, “Oh, this wasn’t in the script, right?” to which Shoaib replies, “No, it just popped into my mind, so I thought of crafting it.”

Following this setup, Hira acts out the scene, pretending to be upset and saying, “Apologizing won’t bring back the wasted time.” However, many viewers who saw only the viral clip believed it was a genuine confrontation rather than a planned segment.

The video has since led to a heated discussion online. Some criticized the show for misleading viewers, while others argued that it was simply an example of improvisational acting. Regardless, the clip has sparked a conversation about how unscripted moments on television can sometimes be carefully crafted to engage audiences.

Renowned actress Nazish Jahangir has finally addressed the fraud allegations against her, dismissing them as baseless and claiming they were part of a blackmail and extortion attempt.

Speaking on Nida Yasir’s Ramzan show, she opened up about the accusations made by emerging actor Aswad Haroon for the first time. While she did not name him directly, she alleged, “An attempt was made to tarnish my name and career by making false allegations against me in a systematic manner.”

She further stated, “No one knows the person who made these allegations against me. They just wanted to gain fame by using my name.” She also revealed that she was pressured for money, saying, “I was badly blackmailed, and they even tried to extort money from me.”

She explained that she deliberately chose not to respond at the time. “I worked hard to make a name for myself. If I had reacted, my name would have been tarnished even more, and the accuser’s goal would have been achieved,” she said.

She added that she avoids addressing personal matters on social media. “If I had responded to the allegations, people would have considered me guilty, and the accuser’s attempt would have succeeded.” She shared that her father advised her to pursue legal action instead of engaging in public controversy.

She confirmed, “I took legal action against the accuser, and now the matter has been settled.”

Nazish also referred to the PECA Ordinance, emphasising, “No social media page, YouTuber, or blogger can post any picture, video, or statement of any person, including actors, without their permission. Legal action can be taken for such violations.”

In September 2024, a local court in Lahore rejected her bail in a fraud case filed by Aswad Haroon. He had alleged that he gave Nazish millions of rupees in cash, a luxury car worth over five million, and other valuable gifts, believing she would introduce him as a hero in the entertainment industry.

Now, after six months of silence, Nazish Jahangir has broken her silence, calling the allegations a lie.
