On Saturday, a Lahore court cancelled the non-bailable arrest warrant for actor Nazish Jahangir after she appeared in court and submitted a bond of 50,000 rupees.

The case against Jahangir was filed by fellow actor Aswad Haroon, who claims she did not return Rs2.5 million and a car he lent her. The court hearing took place at Cantt Kutchery, and Magistrate Ghulam Shabbir Sial cancelled the warrant after Jahangir appeared with her lawyer.

The warrant had been issued because Jahangir missed previous hearings. Police had been ordered to arrest her and bring her to court. The next hearing is scheduled for April 28.

The case registered in 2024 under Section 420 of the Pakistan Penal Code accuses Jahangir of borrowing Haroon’s car and money for a project but failing to return them after six months. Haroon also alleges that she sent an armed man named Sikandar Khan to threaten him.

Jahangir had earlier filed for pre-arrest bail, claiming the case was meant to harass her, but her plea was dismissed. In October 2024, the Lahore High Court asked the FIA to look into her petition regarding social media propaganda against her.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has summoned actress and model Nadia Hussain in a fraud case involving financial irregularities.

The case was heard at Karachi’s Judicial Magistrate Sharqi Court, where the FIA submitted an interim challan spanning 55 pages. The case involves two accused: Atif Khan, husband of Nadia Hussain, who has been arrested, and Faisal Mehmood Sheikh, who is currently out on bail.

According to the FIA’s challan, “Atif Khan made personal trading worth more than Rs 1 billion from the company’s account.” It further revealed that the account of Nadia Hussain’s salon was among the beneficiaries of the accused’s financial transactions.

The investigation found that  “Rs 26.4 million was transferred to Nadia Hussain’s salon accounts through two separate accounts of Atif Khan.” The FIA alleges that these funds were used for her two salons, and she is now expected to be summoned for questioning.

The challan also stated, “Those who benefited from the transfer of funds in Atif Khan’s bank accounts will be called for investigation.”

Furthermore, the FIA report highlights that the accused had deposited Rs 31.47 million in dividends from shares purchased using company funds into his account.

Additionally, he had obtained Rs 650 million from third parties for short-term personal trading but later returned the funds through the company’s accounts with a mark-up. The amount owed by the accused to the company stands at Rs 540 million.

Journalist and former provincial assembly member Syeda Memnat Mohsin, popularly known as Jugnu Mohsin, recently shared her thoughts on her son Ali Sethi’s global hit song Pasoori, and her statement has gone viral.

In an interview, Jugnu Mohsin revealed, “Before Ali Sethi was born, I used to listen to a lot of music. I always kept Qawwali, Raag, and Khyaal in my car. Music was the first thing my two children heard.”

She further shared, “I spoke pure Punjabi to my children until they were seven years old, which is why Ali Sethi can sing songs today.”

However, when it comes to Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s Coke Studio Season 14 hit Pasoori, Jugnu Mohsin admitted, “I did not like this song at all.”

Recalling a conversation with her son, she said, “When Pasoori hit a billion views, Ali said to me, ‘Mom, I know you don’t like this song.’ I replied, ‘Yes, son, I don’t like this Pasoori; I prefer traditional songs.’”

 Pasoori became the first Coke Studio song to cross one billion streams on YouTube Music and was the most searched song on Google in 2022.

The song, released in Coke Studio Pakistan’s 14th season in 2022, was performed by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, gaining immense global recognition. The word Pasoori means trouble in Punjabi.

German director Michaela, who has worked with several Bollywood stars, has criticized Salman Khan’s professionalism, revealing that the actor made people wait for hours on set.

According to Indian media reports, Michaela has collaborated with multiple filmmakers and actors, including Salman Khan, during the 10 years he worked in India.

Sharing his experience in a documentary film, he stated, “I have worked with many celebrities, some of whom have questionable professional skills, like Salman Khan, who used to easily make us wait on the set for seven hours. When we realized this, we started bringing other work with us because we knew we’d be sitting there all day. Probably no one on the set knew when he would arrive.”

In contrast, Michaela had a positive experience working with Shah Rukh Khan. “My experience working with Shah Rukh Khan for that documentary was good. I directed Shah Rukh for the documentary—he is a good person.”

Speaking about Alia Bhatt, he added, “I also worked with Alia Bhatt for an advertisement. She is extremely cool and professional.”
