Model and actress Nadia Hussain has finally spoken out after her husband was arrested in connection with a high-profile financial scam. 

On March 12, she shared a video statement on Instagram, revealing chats and an audio recording of a caller who falsely claimed to be an FIA officer.

According to Nadia, the fraudster demanded a bribe of Rs 30 million for her husband’s bail.

She claimed, “An FIA officer had demanded a huge bribe for my husband’s release, who was arrested on charges of financial fraud.”

Screenshots of the conversation showed the fraudster telling her, “Your husband, Atif Muhammad Khan, has settled all matters. You should transfer the money.” The caller also attempted to intimidate her and warned, “This matter should remain between you and me.”

In her video statement, Nadia addressed the situation directly: “Many of you were waiting for my reaction to my husband’s arrest by the FIA in a fraud case. It is true that my husband is currently in FIA custody, but only for investigation. If I talk about the case, were the security guards sleeping that such a big fraud happened under their noses?”

Speaking about her husband’s involvement, she said, “Now, how much my husband is involved in this—whether he is or not—time and the court will decide. I am silent because of my lawyers. My husband is in custody but is very calm. The FIA is taking care of him, and he is safe there.”

Romantic Bollywood film Sanam Teri Kasam, released in 2016 starring Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane, has become the first Indian movie to receive a wide re-release across cinemas in the UK, reports Zee News.

Directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, the film’s resurgence follows its unexpected success earlier this year in Indian theatres, where it became a box office hit despite struggling during its initial release.

The love story is now captivating audiences in the UK. Reports from cinemas mention packed screenings, with early figures indicating an impressive performance, according to Indian media.

Mawra Hocane, who made her Bollywood debut with this film, has experienced a rise in popularity, coinciding with her wedding celebrations earlier this year. While Pakistani fans celebrated her milestone, Indian fans revisited the iconic film that marked her Bollywood entry.

According to The Indian Express, Sanam Teri Kasam earned an estimated INR 30 to 32.5 million (Rs96 to 104 million) on its fourth day after re-release, bringing its total earnings to INR 185 million (Rs595 million). Many theatres reported sold-out shows and even scheduled additional screenings to meet demand.

The film’s unforgettable soundtrack, including hits like Tera Chehra, Sanam Teri Kasam, and Bewajah, has also regained popularity, trending on streaming platforms and music charts. A viral video even captured audiences getting emotional during the title track in a theatre in Uttar Pradesh.

This film’s journey highlights the power of storytelling that transcends borders. Featuring a Pakistani actress and an Indian actor and delivering a universal message of love, Sanam Teri Kasam continues to connect people in India, Pakistan, and now the UK, showcasing the unifying magic of cinema.

Pakistani star couple Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik are always in the spotlight, and this time they gave their fans a sweet and funny moment to enjoy after Shoaib’s victory in the JPL.

After Shoaib’s impressive performance, Sana, who is a well-known actress, joked that his win should be credited to her. “You won because of me,” she teased. Shoaib, however, confidently claimed that his success was due to his hard work. Their playful banter continued, making fans smile.

Many fans enjoyed their cute exchange and praised their chemistry, but not everyone was impressed. While supporters appreciated their bond, critics felt the couple should stay away from the spotlight, given the controversies around their marriage.

The couple tied the knot in early 2024, surprising many, as their previous relationships had ended quietly. Despite some criticism, Sana and Shoaib often share happy moments from their married life, including this light-hearted JPL interaction.

Pakistani designer and actor Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY) is making waves in Hollywood with his work on Disney+’s new series Deli Boys.

The ace fashionista has designed costumes for the project and made his acting debut, becoming the first Pakistani designer to achieve the feat. 

The series, directed by Ahmed Ibrahim and Jenni Konner, premiered on March 6 on Disney+ and Hulu. It is a dark comedy about two spoiled Pakistani-American brothers, Mir and Raj, who face challenges after their father’s sudden death. They uncover their father’s secret criminal life and must deal with his empire, facing issues like tax evasion and smuggling.

HSY styled actors Poorna Jagannathan, Saagar Shaikh, and Zainne Saleh for the show’s last two episodes, adding a South Asian touch to the costumes. He also appears in those episodes. Talking about his Hollywood debut, HSY said it’s not just about fashion but also about representing South Asian culture globally.

HSY started acting in 2021 in the TV drama Pehli Si Mohabbat, where he played a strict older brother. In 2022, he appeared as a villain in the film Ishrat, Made in China.

Deli Boys has been praised for its mix of humor and drama and for showcasing South Asian characters in a fresh and meaningful way.

A video of actress and TV host Javeria Saud from her Ramadan show has gone viral, sparking an online debate over her claim that “water has emotions.”

During a recent episode, actress Aiman Khan mentioned that while house help usually cooks at her home, her husband, Muneeb Butt, can instantly tell when she prepares a meal. In response, Javeria Saud explained that food tastes different depending on who makes it because “water has emotions and absorbs people’s words and feelings.”

She supported her claim by referencing a study by a Japanese scientist, saying, “He conducted an experiment with two bottles of water, speaking negative words to one and positive words to the other. Over time, the negatively spoken-to water deteriorated, while the positively spoken-to water remained unchanged.”

Javeria concluded that since water listens and reacts to human emotions, the feelings of the cook influence the taste of food. Aiman Khan agreed, suggesting this could explain why a mother’s home-cooked meals always taste unique.

The video quickly went viral, with social media users reacting with a mix of humour, scepticism, and curiosity.

Javeria Saud was referring to Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher who claimed that water molecules change based on human words and emotions. His study suggested that water responds to positivity and negativity, potentially affecting those who consume it. However, his findings have been widely debated in scientific circles.

Model Nadia Hussain became a victim of online fraud after her husband Atif Muhammad Khan was taken into FIA custody over financial fraud charges.

A scammer posing as an FIA officer called Nadia Hussain and demanded a bribe of Rs 30 million in exchange for her husband’s bail. The caller claimed that “all matters had been settled” and pressured her to transfer the money while insisting, “this matter should remain between you and me.”

Nadia Hussain exposed the fraudulent call on her social media account, stating that an FIA officer “demanded a huge bribe for my husband’s bail.”

Meanwhile, FIA officials confirmed that the investigation continues and stressed that strict legal action will be taken against the scammer.

Atif is on a five-day physical remand in a case pertaining to embezzlment of Rs 540 million from the bank that he worked at.

Model and actor Saheefa Jabbar Khattak is facing backlash after sharing a controversial post about her domestic help, Musarrat. She criticised Musarrat for spending the Rs50,000 she gave her on Eid clothes and a bicycle for her children, calling it a waste of money.

Saheefa wrote that she should have personally bought the items instead of giving Musarrat the freedom to spend the money.  “It hurts to see that when you try to help people, they end up wasting money,” she stated. She also shared details about Musarrat’s living conditions, including her bathroom, roof, and financial struggles—without her consent.

Social media users criticised Saheefa, saying charity should not come with control over how it is spent.  “Why are the poor held to such insane standards?” one user asked. Others pointed out that if the money was truly given as help, then Musarrat had the right to decide how to use it.

Instead of apologising, Saheefa defended herself in the comments, listing things she and her family had given Musarrat over the years, including toys, chocolates, and clothes. She even claimed, “Everything she owns is given to her by me.”

She also said,  “I take Musarrat as my sister, and as an older sister, I will always slap the s**t out of my sister for wasting money.” Many people found this statement offensive and controlling.

After the backlash, Saheefa posted a video laughing with Musarrat and then made another post defending her views. She argued that she wants her house help to save money for the future. She also criticised celebrities and influencers for spending money on luxury while claiming to raise funds for the underprivileged.

However, many pointed out that she missed the real issue—publicly shaming Musarrat. The incident sparked discussions on class privilege in South Asia, where charity is often given with expectations and control.
