Hania Aamir sparked a social media frenzy after delivering a sharp five-word response to a question about her favourite singer during a recent public interaction.

The moment, now widely shared by entertainment portals, came when an audience member asked the actress about her favourite singer and the possibility of a future collaboration. Instead of giving a predictable answer, Hania leaned toward the microphone, smiled, and said, “Do you want me to say Asim Azhar?”

Her response drew loud laughter and cheers from the crowd. Within hours, the clip spread across social media, with fans applauding her confidence and carefree attitude.

The remark has reignited speculation about her connection with singer Asim Azhar. Interest in their past relationship resurfaced after Asim confirmed his separation from Merub Ali last year, prompting fans to closely track any signs of renewed contact between the two stars.

Online chatter intensified recently after fans noticed that Hania and Asim wore similar black sweaters in separate social media posts. The coincidence added fuel to reunion rumours that continue to circulate online.

Speculation escalated further after some fans began predicting a possible Ramadan 2026 nikkah. The talk gained traction when Hania jokingly mentioned a “Dopahar Jummah” wedding date responding a comment that quickly went viral.

Reports have also claimed that both celebrities attended the same Qawwali night in Lahore but avoided appearing together in photographs. However, neither Hania nor Asim has addressed or confirmed any reconciliation.

Hania continues to enjoy a strong run professionally. She remains Pakistan’s most-followed celebrity on Instagram with more than 19 million followers. Her drama Meri Zindagi Hai Tu recently crossed 1.35 billion views on YouTube, underlining its popularity in Pakistan and abroad.

She also made her Indian Punjabi cinema debut in the horror-comedy Sardaar Ji 3, which released on June 27, 2025. Although the film did not receive a theatrical release in India, it performed exceptionally well internationally and emerged as a major hit in Pakistan, placing it among the highest-grossing Punjabi films to date.

Asim Azhar, meanwhile, continues to maintain his presence on the music charts, with several successful releases keeping him firmly in the spotlight.

The 19-year-old social media star who went famous for her catchphrase “Acha jee, aisa hai kya” has made a cameo in the upcoming Pakistani film ‘Aag Lagay Basti Mein’, and the internet cannot keep calm.

As per the details, first trailer of the upcoming film dropped on Monday, featuring Fahad Mustafa as Barkat, an honest man who struggles to get by, and Mahira Khan as his wife Almaas, who pushes him into petty crime.

Javed Sheikh plays a crime boss, and comedian Tabish Hashmi appears as a menacing villain.

While the trailer features action, cars, guns, comedy and glimpses of the couple’s domestic life – one scene even showing Mustafa in a prison jumpsuit – what caught everyone’s attention was a cameo by teenage social media star Shehzadi Samra. 

“Featuring along with Fahad and Mahira is a lifelong achievement,” wrote one user while another said it was “plain awesome”.

A third wrote, “So happy for her.” 

Many others praised the movie itself, saying, “Na Maloom Afraad vibes” and “blockbuster trailer”.

The film is set to release on Eidul Fitr, and audiences are excited to see this mix of star power, comedy and action.

Internet has a lot to say as Rapper Talha Anjum announces his engagement to influencer Zoeia Karim.

As per the details, the couple got engaged in an intimate ceremony featuring traditional rituals and celebrations, surrounded by relatives and close friends. 

Pictures of the event quickly spread across social media, prompting a wave of reactions from fans and fellow celebrities.

While congratulatory messages poured in, social media users reacted with a mix of surprise, heartbreak, humour and memes.

“Pury Pakistan ko move on krne nai diya aur khud shadi kar li [He kept entire Pakistan from moving on and got married himself],” wrote one user.

Another commented, “Areee Talha bhai yaaaar [Oh Talha brother] .”

 “Insan bhi kiya cheez hai [Humans are such strange beings] ,” wrote a fan while one joked about how “the sky changes colours”.

Another fan said, “Talha bhai bhi dhoka de gye [Even Talha brother betrayed us].”

The reactions were not limited to Pakistan, as one user commented, “India bhi hai bro [India is also here, bro], highlighting his cross-border fan following.

Talha Anjum stands among the most influential artists of Pakistan’s younger generation and forms one half of the hugely popular rap duo Young Stunners. His sharp lyricism and distinctive rap style have built him a loyal fan base across Pakistan and beyond.

A judicial magistrate on Monday indicted YouTuber Saadur Rehman, also known as Ducky Bhai, his wife Aroob Jatoi, and other accused individuals in connection with the promotion of gambling applications on social media.

All accused pleaded not guilty and opted to contest the trial. Magistrate Naeem Wattoo directed the prosecution to present its witnesses during the next hearing. The proceedings are scheduled to continue on February 23.

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had previously registered cases against several YouTubers and TikTokers on charges of promoting gambling applications through their social media accounts. Rehman was arrested by the agency in August last year and was released on bail by the Lahore High Court on November 24.

According to court records, the case stems from an inquiry dated June 13, 2025, which was initiated after “receipt of information from reliable source(s)” indicating that some social media influencers were promoting gambling and betting applications for monetary gain.

The case was registered under sections 13 (Electronic forgery), 14 (Electronic fraud), 25 (Spamming), and 26 (Spoofing) of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 also includes sections 294 B (Offering prize in connection with trade) and 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Pakistan Penal Code.

In December, Rehman uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, nearly an hour long, in which he claimed he had faced physical and verbal abuse while in NCCIA custody.

Earlier developments in the case include a complaint filed by Jatoi that led to the arrest of six NCCIA officials in October. The officials were placed on a three-day physical remand over allegations of misusing authority, extorting money, and accepting bribes.

Maria B has come under scrutiny on social media after her recent Instagram activity highlighted a seeming disconnect between brand promotion and personal positioning, as she announced a kite-themed kidswear collection while also publicly stating that she would not be celebrating Basant, a festival traditionally associated with kite-flying.

In recent posts, the designer promoted her upcoming kidswear line titled The Kite Club | Spring Summer Collection ’26, a collection whose branding prominently references kites – a central symbol of Basant. Around the same time, Maria B also shared a story stating that she would not be celebrating the festival.

In the story, she wrote: “No, I’m not celebrating Basant. Please stop sending me invites. Why? Because there is nothing to celebrate… rather there is much to mourn. We have lost our humanity and integrity.”

The timing and contrast between the two messages quickly drew attention on social media, with users pointing out what they described as a contradiction between the collection’s theme and her stance on Basant. 

Several netizens accused the designer of hypocrisy, with comments such as “She is such a hypocrite,” “Munafiq,” and “Hypocrisy! She’s launching her Basant collection lol.”

Others reacted more mockingly, questioning the logic behind the juxtaposition. One comment read, “Logic: 0, Maria B: 1,” while another claimed the designer “needs help and too urgently.”

Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has surrendered himself at Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court rejected his request for an extension of time in multiple cases concerning bounced cheques. 

Indian media reported that the High Court on Wednesday refused to grant Yadav more time to appear before jail authorities. Following the decision, the actor presented himself before Tihar Jail officials on Thursday.

According to reports, Yadav arrived at the jail around 4:00 pm, after which authorities began legal procedures.

Earlier, the court had directed the actor on February 2 to surrender by February 4. Yadav’s lawyer informed the court that the actor had arranged Rs5 million (Indian rupees) and requested an additional week to complete the payment. 

However, Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma rejected the plea, stating that there was no basis to grant further relief.

Rajpal Yadav was convicted in April 2018 for failing to repay a loan and received a six-month jail sentence along with a fine. The court granted him interim bail at the time. 

In June 2024, the High Court temporarily suspended his sentence on the condition that he take “serious and genuine steps” toward an amicable settlement with the complainant.

According to reports, Yadav had borrowed Rs50 million (Indian rupees) from a businessman to produce a film. When he failed to repay the amount, the lender initiated legal proceedings that led to the conviction.

Rajpal Yadav remains one of Bollywood’s most popular comic actors and has delivered several memorable performances. 

He earned widespread praise for roles in films such as Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri, Hungama, Dhol, Chup Chup Ke, and Kal Ho Naa Ho, where his comic timing made him a standout presence in ensemble casts.

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has revealed a shocking experience where Mumbai University disinvited him from an event called “Jashn-e-Urdu” without explanation or apology. 

The actor shared the incident in an opinion piece for The Indian Express. The op-ed led to the thespian being targeted by pestering reporters. 

Shah said, “I do not want to talk about this issue, so please don’t harass me. I told you I don’t want to talk about it.” When the reporter pressed further and asked, “Why are you pushing the mic?” Shah replied, “Because you are shoving it into my face.” He added, “Because you are bothering me. You take that out of my face.”

Amid the row over veteran actor’s op-ed, Naseeruddin Shah refuses to comment when confronted by Times Now’s @YakkatiSowmith.

The actor continued, “Can’t you see I have just come from a journey, and I have said to you politely, I don’t want to talk about this issue. Why are you harassing me?” When the journalist claimed he was not harassing him, Shah responded, “You are harassing me. Do you understand what I am saying?”

Reactions to the reporter’s behavior quickly spread on social media, with many slamming their unprofessional behaviour. “In any civilized society, this reporter would have been behind bars. But TV reporters in the subcontinent think they have a license to harass public figures,” one person wrote. 

Another person wrote, “I literally wanted to slap the reporter from here.”

In his opinion piece, Shah explained, “The Jashn-e-Urdu organised by the Urdu department of Mumbai University for February 1, from which I was disinvited at the last moment, was an event I was greatly looking forward to because it meant interacting with students. The university, after informing me that I needn’t attend on the night of January 31, and giving no reason, forget an apology, obviously considered this not insulting enough. So they decided to rub a little salt in by announcing to the audience that I had refused to be there.”

On the professional front, Naseeruddin Shah was recently seen in “IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack”, a web series streaming on Netflix. The series also features Vijay Varma, Pankaj Kapur, Patralekhaa, Aravind Swamy, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, Dia Mirza, and Amrita Puri.

Shah has consistently delivered some of the finest performances in Indian cinema, earning critical acclaim for his work in films such as Masoom, A Wednesday!, Sparsh, and The Dirty Picture, making him one of the most respected actors in the industry.

Recently, Mishi Khan shared several Instagram photos and said, “Hania Aamir makes the Illuminati sign in every photo,” questioning a gesture Hania has used multiple times.

Hania responded humorously on an Instagram story, saying, “Sometimes you publish my wedding cards, my mother already dislikes what I wear, my family is already against me. Some say my dimples are fake, and all this needs to stop.”

She added, “No, I am not Illuminati. I am a working woman doing my job. I cannot handle all this.” She also shared a video in her Instagram stories addressing the Illuminati claims, saying, “My mother sent this to me.”

Mishi Khan replied, saying, “I have known you since your ‘Jannan’ days, so your reply does not surprise me.”

Fans have defended Hania Aamir on Instagram, criticising claims about cosmetic surgeries and the Illuminati allegations.

Makeup artist Ayesha Butt has opened up about casting couch experiences she faced while trying to build a career in Pakistan’s media industry.

She recently appeared on a Youtube Podcast, where the host questioned her about her bold image on social media. In response, Ayesha shared the reasons that shaped her public persona and discussed her struggles in the industry.

“I went to Karachi to work in showbiz, where producers told me, ‘We will give you work after you sleep with us.’ Unfortunately, this is true. I did multiple photoshoots, stills, and web series, but they were shelved or my work was cut simply because I refused their offers.”

“I worked in the drama serial Sotan. I have worked with Agha Shiraz, Saleem Mairaj, and Sohail Sameer. Eight years ago, when I came, I was only offered casting couch by big names of the industry. Photographer Munna Mushtaq asked me to sleep with him, after which I left the media industry,” she added.

While talking about her experience with an actor from the popular drama Meray Paas Tum Ho, she revealed, “Besides that, there was an actor from Meray Paas Tum Ho. I don’t remember his name; he played Danish’s friend in the drama. When I entered his office, he took off his shalwar and asked me to get physical with him.”

“He also has a very beautiful wife from the showbiz industry. He chased me as well and told me that if I wanted to flourish in showbiz, I had to sleep with them. After that, I left the media industry and joined a salon. I continued working there and focused on building my career through hard work,” she stated. 

Ayesha Butt, who has around 400,000 followers across social media platforms, remains known for her bold online content. She also appeared in the drama serial “Sotan”, but later stepped away from the industry.
