Pakistani actor Dodi Khan, who recently proposed to Bollywood actress Rakhi Sawant, has taken a U-turn.

In a new video message shared on Instagram, he explains his decision and refers to his previous video where he proposed to her.

“You all saw my video in which I proposed to Rakhi Sawant? I have known Rakhi Sawant for a long time, I proposed to her because I found her to be a God-fearing and loving person,” he said.

He recognised the hardships she had faced in her life. “Rakhi Sawant has seen many ups and downs in her life. She lost her parents and stayed with them during their illness, which is rare in today’s era. What the person who came into her life did to her is not hidden from anyone,” he stated.

He also mentioned that Rakhi Sawant converted to Islam, changed her name to Fatima, and performed Umrah. “That’s why I proposed to her, but people didn’t like it. I received messages from people and was severely criticized, which I cannot bear,” he added.

The Pakistani actor, however, apologised to Rakhi Sawant. “I am sorry Rakhi ji! You are a very good friend of mine and will remain so. You may not be able to become my bride, but I promise you that you will become the daughter-in-law of Pakistan. I will get you married to one of my friends or brothers,” he said.

Since the new video message was posted on social media, Dodi Khan has faced severe criticism from users who have accused him of seeking cheap fame with his initial proposal.

When a trusted employee turns abusive, how does a mother react?

Television host Nida Yasir recently shared an unsettling experience about her house help verbally abusing her young son Balaaj in her show Good Morning Pakistan.

Nida Yasir shared, “During the COVID-19 period, I hired an educated female house help for my son. However, I came to know through my neighbors that she was verbally abusing Balaj.”

When Nida first confronted her son, he assured her that he could manage the situation.

 “I have heard complaints about you, our neighbors also told me that you verbally abuse Balaaj,” she told the house help.

The incident serves as a reminder of the crucial role parents play in protecting their children’s well-being and the need for vigilance in the home.

Earlier, Nida spoke about the rules her 15-year-old daughter must follow while taking part in a panel discussion on her show, ‘Good Morning Pakistan.’

One female participant shared her concerns, saying: “My daughter is very fond of making reels, and she uses social media so much that now she is not even paying attention to her studies. If I prohibit her, she becomes rude.”

Nida Yasir replied, “My daughter is more than 15 but she is still not allowed to post Instagram reels by her father even though we are related to the entertainment industry and generally It is believed that people in this industry are liberal.”

She added, “We are from the entertainment industry, but we still do not allow our daughter to use social media in this way.”

Nida Yasir advised the woman that children should not be given too much freedom at a young age and that it is necessary to impose some restrictions on them. “Your daughter is only 15-years-old; she should not be allowed to engage in such activities now.”

She also suggested that the woman ask her husband to be a little stricter with their daughter, stating that “Children always need a father’s strictness in such situations.”

Renowned rapper Bohemia recently appeared on a podcast with Zain Ul Abideen, where he shared his incredible journey and the impact of rap music on his life.

During the conversation, Bohemia shared how rap music changed his life, saying, “I sell my rap music. You know what it can do?” He went on to describe his struggles, sharing that he was born in Karachi, raised in Peshawar, and later moved to California, where he became homeless at just 15 years old.

“No school, no home—only rap music, paper, and pen,” he stated, highlighting how music became his only hope during those difficult times.

Bohemia then spoke about his rise to success, proudly sharing his achievements.”Now I own my mansion on top of a hill, bro. I have the latest Cadillac that drives by itself. I live in Las Vegas, and I shop at Blizzi, where the cheapest thing is $2,000, and a T-shirt costs $1,000,” he said.

The rapper also revealed his experiences with high-profile fashion brands, saying, “They invited me on a runway right next to Kim Kardashian and Lil Wayne. They chauffeured me, gave me a car for the day, and took me to dinner. The owner of Balenciaga and designer Dana Bela came to meet me. No desi guy has ever been invited to any runway that I know of. That’s what rap music can do.”

Bohemia’s words reflect his belief in the power of rap music and its ability to transform lives, proving that passion and perseverance can lead to extraordinary success.

The internet-famous Mona Lisa Bhonsle from India is making headlines again after a picture and video from the Kumbh Mela — the largest Hindu gathering — went viral on social media.

She caught the attention of many pilgrims at the festival because of her beautiful eyes, brown complexion, and unique way of speaking.

According to Indian media, 16-year-old Mona Lisa has signed a film deal.

Indian film director Sanoj Mishra visited her village to meet her family and discuss matters related to the film.

The film is titled The Diary of Manipur, and the shooting is scheduled to begin in February.

Director Sanoj Mishra commented, “Mona Lisa and her family are very innocent, simple, and noble people. She is still young, and we have to prepare her.”

On this occasion, Mona Lisa expressed her gratitude to the Indian director and said, “I will work very hard for the film. If I work hard, I will move forward.”

In one of the viral videos on social media, she can be seen selling garlands at the ghat at the Kumbh Mela.

Mona Lisa Bhonsle, also known as Moni, became a viral sensation at this year’s Maha Kumbh festival in India.

She is a garland seller from Indore with striking facial features and was seen selling Rudraksha and pearl garlands at the festival in Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad.

With her newfound fame, however, came challenges. Bhonsle was chased by attendees to her tent, and some even harassed her, forcing her to take pictures despite her refusal.

Reports on social media claimed that Bhonsle earned a staggering INR 10 crores by selling garlands at the festival in just 10 days.

Moni, however, has denied these claims. “If I earned so much money, then why would I live here and why would I sell garlands?” she told an Indian publication.

Fans have been waiting for singer Asim Azhar and actress Merub Ali to announce that they are getting married this year, but the Jo Tu Na Mila singer is keeping mum. However, it now seems like he’s finally broken the chup ka roza. 

During Asim’s interview with Connect Cine, Indian journalist Fardioon Shahryar asked, “I’ve received a lot of DMs from your fans asking me to definitely ask you whether you are getting married in 2025.”

Asim Azhar coyly replied, “I won’t accept or deny this claim about whether I am getting married in 2025 because, ultimately, this is something that is in God’s hands, and in desi households, it’s also the family’s decision.”

He then opened up a bit more. “But I can’t give you a better answer than this. Because, before this, whenever I was asked, I straight-up said no. The name has already been mentioned. Everyone already knows,” the Ghalat Fehmi singer added.

Well, that’s as close to a “yes” as we have ever heard and it will have to do for now. 

Asim Azhar is currently in Canada, thrilling fans with his hit songs.

While the couple has been engaged for a while, Asim’s latest comments have left fans more curious than ever. Will 2025 be the year?

 Singer Fakhre Alam recently shared that his house in Karachi was robbed. 

 

He broke the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “My house in Karachi has been looted, the police are at the scene and the investigation into the incident is ongoing.”

 

He wrote, “This is very disturbing, I hope the accused will soon be brought to justice, things are not important to me, but peace of mind has no price and this is what is important.”

 

He says, “This (peace of mind) has been the real loss, please everyone be vigilant.”

 

However, Alam did not clarify whether he was present at home during the robbery. 

 

Fans are condemning the incident and expressing their support for him.
