Earlier, Meerub Ali hosted a surprise birthday bash for her boyfriend and A-list singer Asim Azhar in Lahore. The Sinf-e-Aahan diva arranged the party at a café in old Lahore with the backdrop of Badshahi Mosque.

The birthday bash was based on the theme of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s filmography. The Tera Woh Pyar singer is a huge fan of the Don 2 actor.

Earlier he announced his engagement via Instagram on Sunday to his rumoured girlfriend and longtime friend, Model Merub Ali.

The pair posted identical announcements on Instagram on Sunday. “Shukar Alhamdulillah [Thank you God]. With the grace of Allah Almighty and our parent’s duas, we announce our Imam Zamin – engagement. May Allah SWT keep us protected and this happy forever, Ameen. Keep us in your prayers,” read their posts.

There were many speculations prior to the announcement but the duo never confirmed their relationship publicly. In an interview, Ali said, “We’re great family friends and have known each other since childhood. My brother is his best friend and our mothers are best friends.”

Merub is Asim’s best friend Raamis’s sister. The singer’s best friend also congratulated the couple.

After, the announcement, congratulations began pouring in under both their posts from their celebrity friends.

The suspects involved in the shooting outside the house of Indian-born Canadian singer and rapper Amrit Pal Singh Dhillon, also known as AP Dhillon, will be “arrested and presented in court today,” media reports have claimed.

Shots were fired outside AP Dhillon’s residence in Vancouver, Canada, in early September leading to two vehicles being burned.

Subsequently, the notorious Indian gang of Lawrence Bishnoi took responsibility for the attack, claiming that their attack was prompted by AP Dhillon casting superstar Salman Khan in a music video.

CCTV footage of the incident later emerged online, leading Canadian police to arrest 25-year-old Indian man Abhijit Kangra from Ontario for his alleged involvement. Another Indian citizen, Vikram Sharma, has also been arrested, and an arrest warrant has been issued.

Canadian police confirmed that “Abhijit Kangra has been charged with setting fire to vehicles using a firearm” and will be arraigned in an Ontario court today.

Lawrence Bishnoi gang is also under investigation for the murders of Indian Punjabi singers Sidhu Moosewala and Baba Siddique and has issued threats against actor Salman Khan.

India media reports say that imprisoned gangster Lawrence Biishnoi and outlaw Rohit Godhra have accepted responsibility for the incident.

An alleged threat made rounds on social media claiming that on the night of September 1, the gang carried out shootings at Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto.

The gangs warned the singer to “stay within his limits, or he will meet a dog’s death.”

The incident is similar is to what happened on April 14, when gunshots were fired outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence in Bandra. Later, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother Anmol claimed responsibility for the shooting.

Indian media reports that the authorities in Canada have initiated an investigation to determine the authenticity of the post.

In response to the attack, AP Dhillon wrote on Instagram, “I’m safe, my people are safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out. Your support means everything.”

In November, Bishnoi had taken responsibility for an alleged gunshot at Indian Punjabi singer and musician Gippy Grewal’s home last year in Vancouver’s White Rock neighborhood.

Actor Zahid Ahmed has discovered that real happiness comes from within, a realization that came about through a journey of faith and peace through prayer.
 Recently, Ahmed appeared as a guest on After Hours, where he opened up about his spiritual journey. The actor is known for brilliant acting and a powerful voice that have led him to many commercial successes. Behind the fame, he’s been on a personal journey to find peace and purpose.
 
The host, Ushna Shah, asked, “You are a very spiritual person, far as I know, you offer prayers (Namaz), tell me about your spiritual journey?”
 
 Zahid replied, “I just came to a point where I realized that, you know, there’s only so much to the world, and we’re not here to earn, pay bills, and die. There has to be a bigger purpose to life; there has to be a bigger calling. And, you know, when you get most of what people aspire in life…..after experiencing respect, money, fame, and all that, if there is still a restlessness inside me that is not being fulfilled in any way, then that thing compelled me to find out what it is and how it can be fulfilled.”         
    
 
The Zara Yaad actor found peace by turning to his faith and looking within himself; he said, “Literally, by submitting my will to Allah, Alhamdulillah, it’s been six to seven years that I’m consistent in establishing Namaz.” His story is an inspiring example of how looking inward and turning to one’s faith can bring true contentment, especially when worldly achievements fall short.
Currently, Zahid is starring in the drama serial Jaan Se Pyara Juni.
 
 
Earlier, during the launch of Shark Tank, Something Haute host Hassan Chaudhary said, “I have to ask about Faris for those who are really enjoying Faris’s performance, what would you like to say to them?”
Zahid Ahmed replied, “I don’t love that character, I don’t even hate that character, I just did my job as an actor. For me, it’s enough that Humayun Bhai personally contacted me and asked me to play this character. It was a pleasure working with Humayun Saeed, Yumna, Adnan Siddiqui, and Sohail, so it was amazing; you just do your job when you sign it. I was up for it because I had never had the opportunity to work with him.

Veteran actor Firdous Jamal has talked about the reason for his solitary lifestyle and addressed rumors of divorce.

“Now I have become a grandfather, I have been married for 35 years; why would I divorce my wife at this age? All this news is just rumors, there is no truth in them, and I don’t know why my son (Hamza Firdous) has said this,” the actor said, denying that his 35-year-long marriage has ended.

When asked about living separately, he responded, “It’s also incorrect for my son to say that I left my comfortable home to live alone in a rundown rented house just to gain sympathy from people.”

He explained that he does not like to be a burden on anyone and thus lives alone. “The house I live in is rented, but I also have my own house, which I built myself with the help of my sons.”

He explained that his family resides peacefully in the house he owns, but he prefers solitude, stating, “I like solitude so that I can immerse myself in my characters. This solitude wasn’t possible while living with family, so I chose to live separately.”

He further said, “I don’t like to be a burden on anyone, so how could I be a burden on my sons at this age? While I completed my education on my own, I have a good relationship with my family. I just don’t want to be a burden on anyone, so I am living alone.”

Firdous Jamal’s wife had reportedly initiated the process of divorcing him after 35 years of marriage, their son Hamza Firdous had confirmed while reacting to a recent interview about his father leaving the family after cancer diagnosis.

“I was very sad while making this video and I wish I didn’t have to make this video. But when a person starts getting punished for the sins he has committed, if you don’t do it, you have to talk.”

He added, “First of all, I want to tell everyone on behalf of my mother that she has divorced my father.”

He continued, “No woman wants to get divorced after 35 years of marriage and my mother only stayed in a complicated relationship with my father for so many years hoping that one day everything would be fine but nothing got better.”

Hamza Firdous pointed out his father’s mistakes and said, “My father had many bad habits which were painful for our family and we also talked about it with my father’s brothers but still my father admitted his mistakes.”

Talking about Firdous Jamal’s cancer treatment, he said “When father got cancer, it was a very painful time for us and we got him fully treated. I should not mention this because it was our duty to treat father if he was sick, but since the videos of father’s interviews are giving the impression that his children….is that why I have to give the details?”

He further said, “One son sent money for my father’s treatment, the other took care of him in the hospital and the daughter fed him with her own hands even when he was sick.”

He added, “During the treatment, the doctor showed a wound on my father’s body, so he fainted after seeing my father’s wound because he did not want to see my father in such a condition.”

He finally said, “How can such sensitive children leave their father alone in illness?”

A few days ago Firdous Jamal said in an interview about living alone after suffering from cancer, “I have spent my whole life in a lot of noise and turmoil but now I want to live in peace, that’s all. I live alone.”

He also said, “I stayed with my family as long as I was healthy, but after I fell ill, I decided to separate from my wife and children because I did not want to hurt them.”

He called his marriage the biggest regret of his life and said, “I got married to the wrong person at the wrong time.”
