    Suspect tried breaking into Shah Rukh Khan’s home before stabbing Saif Ali Khan

    Indian media has reported that according to a recent update to the ongoing investigation, the attacker involved in the stabbing and attempted robbery at Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s house may have also targeted Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, Mannat.

    According to sources, the intruder, who forced his way into Saif’s apartment and injured him, was unable to gain entry into Shah Rukh Khan’s house amid tight security measures. Following the attack on Saif, the police visited Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow to investigate the matter further.

    Suspicious movements were observed near Mannat on January 14, with a man seen examining the premises using a six- to eight-foot-long iron ladder near the rest house located at the back of Shah Rukh Khan’s house.

    Police believe this individual could be the same person who attacked Saif Ali Khan’s residence. Further investigation is currently underway.

    Earlier, Mumbai Police had arrested a suspect accused of attacking renowned Indian actor Saif Ali Khan.

    According to Indian media reports, the suspect was taken into custody a day after the actor was stabbed at his home in Mumbai.

    The suspect was arrested this morning and brought to the Bandra police station. However, the police have not yet disclosed much information about him. The arrival of an encounter specialist at Saif’s house has caused a stir.

    Media reports suggest that the police are still not confirming whether this is the same person who broke into Saif Ali Khan’s house the previous day. The suspect has been shifted to the Bandra police station for further questioning.

    There were rumours that the attacker entered Saif’s son’s room and demanded Rs. 1 crore. However, the police have clarified that this was a theft case. The actor suffered multiple stab wounds, including a deep cut to the chest and spine.

    Earlier, Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times by an intruder in his Mumbai home early Thursday morning. Following a surgery at Lelavati Hospital in Mumbai, many of his close friends and family rushed to be by his side.

    Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor’s cousin Ranbir Kapoor and his wife Alia Bhatt arrived at Lilavati Hospital to offer support.

    Along with them, Karisma Kapoor, Saif’s sister-in-law, also visited the hospital. Saif’s children from his previous marriage, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan were spotted at the hospital, keeping in close proximity with their father.

    Director Siddharth Anand also arrived at the hospital in the morning.

    While Saif’s surgery was a success, he is still under observation, with doctors closely monitoring his recovery. Saif’s fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages wishing him a speedy recovery.

    His son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, stepped up in a life-or-death situation to get his father the help he urgently needed.

    Ibrahim realised that there was no car available to transport his injured father to the hospital. Showing a very smart presence of mind, he immediately hailed an auto rickshaw and got his father to Lilavati Hospital, just two kilometres from their Bandra house.

  • Nasser Hussain has a big prediction for star batter Saim Ayub

    Nasser Hussain has a big prediction for star batter Saim Ayub

    Former England captain Nasser Hussain has made an important prediction about young Pakistani opener Saim Ayub.

    In a podcast with Mike Atherton, Nasser Hussain included Saim Ayub in his list of the next generation’s “Fab Four” cricketers. Alongside Saim, Hussain nominated England’s Harry Brook and India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal. His fourth pick was Australia’s Travis Head, though Atherton questioned this choice due to Head’s age.

    When asked who could be the next “Fab Four” of cricket, Hussain said, “Saim Ayub has the potential to be a dynamic player for Pakistan.” He highlighted Saim’s recent injury, saying, “It’s uncertain if he will be fit for the Champions Trophy. Saim could become an important top-order player for Pakistan in all formats.”

    On the other hand, Mike Atherton selected Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis, New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra, England’s Harry Brook, and India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal for the next “Fab Four.”

    What is the “Fab Four”?

    The term “Fab Four” was introduced by former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe in 2013. He predicted that “Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Steve Smith would dominate cricket for the next decade.” His prediction came true. Whether Hussain and Atherton’s predictions will come true remains to be seen.

    Currently, Saim Ayub is undergoing treatment in London after a severe ankle injury during the Cape Town Test against South Africa. His participation in the Champions Trophy is uncertain.

    So far, Saim has played only nine One Day Internationals (ODIs), scoring three centuries and one half-century. His standout performances in the ODI series against South Africa, where he scored two centuries, helped Pakistan achieve their first-ever series whitewash against the Proteas. 

    Saim Ayub’s future looks bright, and he is a player to watch in the coming years.

    In December 2023, Honey Singh made headlines as Netflix released YoYo Honey Singh: Famous a documentary- film about the life of the hip- hop star.

    Earlier, Bollywood singer Yo Yo Honey Singh decided to take a long break from the film and music industry a few years back to deal with alcoholism and depression.

I had worked on a Star Plus project, I chose its name. I designed it for a year. When the show started, a lot of work was there. I was also doing a Punjabi film. A lot of things were happening. When I collapsed, when I had bipolar disorder and psychotic symptoms on set of Raw Star, maine kaha kuch problem hai mere dimaag mein, kuch hogaya hai.

  • £190m case: Here’s how Imran Khan reacted to wife’s conviction in court

    £190m case: Here’s how Imran Khan reacted to wife’s conviction in court

    Former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has reacted to his and his spouse Bushra Bibi’s conviction in the 190-million-pound (Al-Qadir Trust) case. The reaction comes minutes after an accountability court in the federal capital sentenced him to 14 years in prison and his wife to seven years on Friday.

    Khan and Bibi have been fined Rs. 1 million and Rs. 0.5 million, respectively. If they fail to pay the fines, the ex-prime minister will serve an additional six months, while Bushra Bibi will serve three more months.

    According to the verdict, ex-PM Imran Khan has been convicted of “corrupt practices” and “misuse of authority,” while the former First Lady has been sentenced for “involvement in illegal activities.” Accountability court judge Nasir Javed Rana directed the authorities to place the Al-Qadir Trust University in the federal government’s custody.

    The 148-page verdict mentioned that Bibi’s role was limited to aiding and abetting the corruption offences, which is considered a mitigating circumstance in her sentencing.

    Following the announcement of the 190-million-pound verdict, she has been taken into custody.

    “Bushra Bibi is entirely innocent in the Al-Qadir Trust case. The only purpose for including her in the case was to increase pressure on me. Even before this, Bushra Bibi was unjustly jailed for nine months,” the official account of former Premier on X (formerly Twitter) posted a message after the Al-Qadir Trust case verdict.

    In October 2024, Bushra Bibi was granted bail after nine months of incarceration in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, in the Tosha Khana case.

    Imran Khan stated in his official X handle: “By convicting me in the baseless Al-Qadir (University) Trust case they [installed regime] will make a mockery of themselves all over the world and cause themselves deep embarrassment. My sentencing is being sought in a case where neither have I derived a single penny of personal gain, nor the government has suffered a single penny of financial loss.” 

    “We will be writing a letter to Justice Aminuddin Khan [the head of the Supreme Court’s Constitutional Bench] to hear our petition about human rights violations. Our innocent people were subjected to brutal mental and physical torture while in military custody. Hearings on our petitions must be made a top priority. As we are not getting justice from any court in Pakistan, we have completed preparations for sending letters to international human rights organizations and to the United Nations in this regard. Qazi Faez Isa and Aamir Farooq have consistently acted as the establishment’s opening batsmen, and the newly formed constitutional bench is merely an extension of this.” read the post on Khan’s X account.

    The £190 million case involves allegations that Imran Khan and others, in 2019, adjusted Rs 50 billion — equivalent to £190 million at the time — sent by Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to the Pakistani government during his tenure as the country’s Prime Minister.

    The amount in question pertains to assets of a property tycoon, which were seized by the NCA during PTI’s rule. The British crime agency had stated that the amount was to be passed to the Government of Pakistan, as its settlement with the Pakistani property tycoon was “a civil matter, and does not represent a finding of guilt.”

    Sonya Hussyn and Imran Ashraf join forces for drama Masoom

    Drama stars Imran Ashraf and Sonya Hussyn are set to captivate audiences in HUM TV’s upcoming drama serial, Masoom, directed by Barkat Siddiqui.

    The Namak Haram actor shared a stunning behind-the-scenes (BTS) picture from the drama shoot on Instagram, captioning it: “She is not just an actress she is a powerhouse

    Bass Thora sa intezar MAZAY ANAY WALAY HEIN INSHALLAH

    Masoom on HUM TV

    Directed by @barkatsidiki_official”

    Earlier, during his program Mazak Raat, a member of the audience asked the show’s host, Imran Ashraf Agha, and actor Mustafa Hassan, which actress they would like to work with in their next project.

    Ashraf revealed that he would like to collaborate with Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia for a movie.

    “As far as I am concerned, I want my next project to be with Tamannaah Bhatia,” he replied. 

    “I have never worked with the talented actress Saba Qamar. It would be a great honour for me if she agrees to work with me,” the Rasq-e-Bismil actor added. 

    Tamannah Bhatia has starred in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam films. 

    Her many films include Paiyaa, Himmatwala, Ayan, Jailer, Entertainment, Baahubali 2, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, Aranmania 4, Vedaa, Rebel, Happy Days, Babli Bouncer, Bhola Shankar, Racha, Chanda Sa Roshan, Aagadu, and Siruthai.

    Actress Sonya Hussyn is setting up her career to be that of a thespian with the wide range of characters she has played on screen. In a post yesterday, she revealed that her next character, Murshid, is an addict, and debuted her look on Instagram.

    Earlier, in an interview with ‘Independent Urdu,’ Sonya talked about her career and who she would like to work with. She mentioned Ali Zafar as her favorite on-screen hero, saying he has a special charm.


    “I never really thought about it, but when it comes to movies, I find Ali Zafar very charming. He has that charisma of a movie hero. There are many good actors, like Fawad Khan, who also have charm, but when it comes to acting, I would choose Ali Zafar,” she said.


    But things got interesting when Sonya talked about her experiences with offers from the Indian film industry. She revealed that she was approached for three different projects. “I have received three film offers from India. One was a Shakespeare screen adaptation of Measure for Measure. The other was a sequel to some old Santosh Kumar film – I can’t recall its name,” she noted.


    One offer, in particular, caught her attention—a film with the famous Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi. “For that one, I even had a meeting with the relevant people but then the exchange with India stopped altogether,” she explained, referring to the stop in collaborations between India and Pakistan after the Uri attack and the subsequent ban on Pakistani artists working in India.
