A video of actress Hira Soomro confronting TV host Muhammad Shoaib for arriving late to a recording has gone viral, sparking debate among social media users.

Hira Soomro recently appeared on Pakistan Television (PTV)’s show Rising Star, where she discussed various topics, including her career. However, a particular clip from the program caught public attention, showing her visibly upset with the host for his late arrival.

In the viral video, Hira Soomro can be seen reprimanding Muhammad Shoaib, stating, “Apologizing won’t bring back the wasted time.” She further criticized the unprofessionalism of the situation, saying, “It’s not right that the guests arrive, but the host doesn’t.”

Throughout the exchange, Muhammad Shoaib repeatedly apologized, admitting that he was late and had already apologized in the makeup room. The program’s co-host also attempted to smoothe over the confrontation, reminding Hira that the show was being broadcast live.

The viral video has received mixed reactions. While some social media users praised Hira for highlighting the importance of punctuality, others speculated that the moment was scripted. 

Some even labeled her a “drama queen” and compared her to actress Meera.

Regardless of differing opinions, the clip has sparked a conversation about professionalism and time management in the entertainment industry.

Pakistani star Neelam Muneer Khan has denied rumours about quitting acting after marriage.

The actor took to Instagram to clarify the misinformation, writing, “There are too many rumours going around regarding me. Therefore, I thought I should clarify and give rest to all this misinformation.”

Neelam confirmed, “Yes, I have gotten married, and NO, I’m not leaving showbiz. Acting is my passion, and how can I leave something which I love so much.” She also shared good wishes for her fans.

Neelam tied the knot with Muhammad Rashid earlier this year in an intimate nikah ceremony held in Dubai. Her husband, who is from Mianwal Ranjha in Punjab, runs a travel and tourism business along with several cafes and restaurants in Dubai.

Renowned TikToker Dania Shah and her husband Hakeem Shehzad were injured in a horrific car accident that resulted in at least one fatality, reports said Friday.

According to reports, Dania and her husband were on Thursday traveling with their team when a motorcycle hit their car. The motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries while the woman on the bike was provided medical aid.

“The motorcyclist was speeding in the wrong direction and crashed into our vehicle,” reports quoted Shehzad as saying.

“My driver was behind the wheel, with my cameraman and other employees also present in the car,” he added.

The severity of the crash could be determined through extensive damage to Shehzad’s car, pictures and videos of which have flooded social media.

Shehzad also confirmed reports of suffering a head injury and losing consciousness at the time of the accident. “I have still not recovered from the trauma,” he said and denied allegations of drunk driving.

Dania married Shehzad in July 2024. Previously, she was married to renowned scholar Aamir Liaquat, who passed away in June 2022.

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has spoken out in support of his son Abhishek Bachchan, highlighting a post that described junior Bachchan as a “victim of nepotism negativity.” 

On Tuesday, Amitabh took to social media to praise Abhishek’s talent and versatility after news portal Bollywood Talkies shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing Abhishek in a white tuxedo on the red carpet. The post said, “Abhishek Bachchan unnecessarily became the victim of ‘nepotism’ negativity, but the amount of good films in his filmography is very high.”

Amitabh reshared the post, adding, “I feel the same… and not just because I am his father.”

This isn’t the first time Amitabh has praised his son. Ahead of the release of Abhishek’s upcoming film Be Happy, also starring Nora Fatehi, Amitabh applauded his son’s ability to evolve as an artist. He wrote, “Abhishek, you are extraordinary. How you adapt and change with each film character is incredible. Love you, Bhaiyu.”

In another post, Amitabh admired Abhishek’s red carpet style, calling it “superior” and adding, “The walk, the grace, and THE STYLE… no fuss, just a normal being.”

Bollywood is often criticized for promoting star kids while limiting opportunities for newcomers who do not have illustrious surnames. Recently, audiences questioned the casting of Sri Devi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan in Netflix’s Nadaaniyan, despite mixed reviews of their previous performances.

Abhishek entered Bollywood in 2000 with Refugee with Kareena Kapoor. He saw early success with hits like Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. However, after 2010, his films, including high-profile ventures Raavan, Game, and Players, didn’t perform well at the box office.

Abhishek then made a strong comeback with critically acclaimed projects like Ludo, Breathe: Into the Shadows, The Big Bull, and Bob Biswas.

Abhishek’s upcoming film, Be Happy, explores a father-daughter relationship and reunites him with his Ludo co-star Inayat Verma. He is also set to return to the Housefull franchise for its fifth installment.
