  • Petition filed against Saba Qamar for wearing police uniform

    Petition filed against Saba Qamar for wearing police uniform

    A petition has been filed in a Lahore sessions court seeking the registration of a criminal case against actor Saba Qamar over the use of a Punjab Police uniform in a behind-the-scenes video and photographs that circulated on social media two years ago.

    The petition relates to content shared around the time Qamar’s 2023 drama Serial Killer aired on Green Entertainment. In the drama, Qamar portrayed Superintendent of Police Sarah Sikander and wore the police uniform as part of her on-screen role. The production had obtained a valid no-objection certificate (NOC) for the use of the uniform in the show, a point acknowledged in the petition.

    However, the application raises objections to a behind-the-scenes video and two photographs that showed Qamar wearing the Punjab Police uniform with an SP badge in what the petitioner describes as a non-fictional setting. The video reportedly showed the actor in a dressing room while her hair was being styled. 


    The content later circulated on social media but is no longer available on Qamar’s official accounts.

    According to the petition, wearing a police uniform outside a fictional production without permission violates the law. The petitioner argues that no individual is allowed to wear official police attire or insignia without prior authorisation from the relevant authorities. By appearing in uniform in off-screen content, the petition claims, Qamar breached provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code related to impersonation and the misuse of official symbols.

    The application further states that the display of such content could mislead members of the public and affect trust in the Punjab Police. It maintains that the use of the uniform and badge outside the drama’s narrative amounted to an unlawful act and showed disregard for the police institution.

    The petitioner told the court that an earlier request to register a criminal case at the Old Anarkali Police Station was not acted upon. 


    Following the alleged inaction by the police, the petitioner approached the sessions court seeking directions for the registration of a case.

    Additional Sessions Judge Ilyas Rehan heard the petition, which was filed by Waseem Zawar and argued by Advocate Mujaddid Bajwa. 

    After a preliminary hearing, the court sought comments from the police authorities on the matter.

    The court adjourned further proceedings until January 14, directing the police to submit their response before the next hearing.

  • ‘No one has the right to object’: RFAK’s daughter defends wearing Indian designer on wedding

    ‘No one has the right to object’: RFAK’s daughter defends wearing Indian designer on wedding

    Maheen Khan, the daughter of renowned Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, has responded to critics who questioned her decision to wear dresses by Seema Gujral, an Indian designer, on her wedding.

    As per the details, Khan’s wedding celebrations ignited a debate on social media when photos from the events went viral. While many praised the bride’s beautiful and elegant outfits, some users criticised her for going with an Indian designer.

    Responding to the criticism, Khan took to social media to address her critics directly.

    “Questioning a bride’s personal choices is inappropriate, especially on the most important day of her life. This was my wedding and I had every right to choose the designer and outfits I preferred,” she said, adding that people should avoid unnecessary interference in others’ personal lives.

    Khan also said that she could wear outfits by designers from any country as it remained entirely her personal choice and no one had the right to object to it.

    She said that she loved all her wedding outfits and selected everything according to her own happiness and wishes.

    Maheen Khan got married in a private ceremony earlier this week. Her husband, the groom, is reportedly the son of a close relative.

  • Aliza Sultan claims Feroze Khan refused custody of children

    Aliza Sultan claims Feroze Khan refused custody of children

    Digital creator Aliza Sultan has claimed that her ex-husband, actor Feroze Khan, refused to take custody of their children.

    The claim surfaced after Aliza Sultan posted a video on Instagram with the caption “When two girls enter the room they drive everyone crazy .”

    A user commented on the post, “Is k pas bachun k winter clothes k paise nhi hn  [She doesn’t have money for children’s winter clothes].”

    Another user defended Aliza, writing, “It’s not her responsibility to do what the children’s father is supposed to do. Be mindful when writing anything. Just because a woman is keeping up with her life doesn’t mean she has to do everything that a man was supposed to do for his children. In this young age, she has been divorced and abused with two children. She has all her life left and she is a single parent now. That guy has already married and living a life. At least, he should be able to provide to his children in time. Let’s not criticize without considering the context/the situation as a whole. Bless!”

    Responding to this comment, Aliza Sultan wrote, “He doesn’t want custody. I’ve tried 2 times wo mana krdeta hai to keep both kids✌ [He refuses to keep both kids].” 

    According to reports, Aliza Sultan has filed a fresh petition in court seeking full custody of both children. A Feroze Khan’s fan page “FK Updates,” has reported that she has initiated legal proceedings to obtain custody of the children.

    Aliza Sultan had previously stated that she cannot leave her children in circumstances she described as toxic. She said the welfare of her children played a crucial role in her decision, as she does not want them to grow up in a toxic, unhealthy, and violent environment. 

    She expressed fears that such an environment would negatively impact the children’s mental development and their overall attitude toward life.

    Aliza Sultan and Feroze Khan married in 2018 and have two children together, Sultan and Fatima. However, differences between the couple emerged a few years later, and the marriage ended in 2023 following Aliza’s allegations of domestic violence.

    In March 2024, the former couple reached a custody settlement after an 18-month legal battle. Under the agreement, their son Sultan lives with Feroze Khan, while their daughter Fatima stays with Aliza Sultan. Feroze Khan agreed to pay PKR 75,000 monthly for Fatima’s expenses, with a 10 percent annual increase.

    Feroze Khan remarried in 2024 to psychologist Dr. Zainab.

  • Court rejects Ducky Bhai’s petition seeking return of YouTube channel, phones

    Court rejects Ducky Bhai’s petition seeking return of YouTube channel, phones

    A judicial magistrate has rejected YouTuber Saadur Rehman aka Ducky Bhai’s request for the interim custody of his YouTube channel and mobile phones.

    As per the details, Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo on Tuesday announced the decision while hearing the content creator’s application.

    The court, however, ordered the release of 19 personal items recovered during search. These items included bank cards, identity cards, a laptop bag, a GoPro camera and other personal belongings.

    Earlier, Ducky Bhai had approached the court seeking the return of his seized belongings.

    The items were seized by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) as it arrested Ducky Bhai in August in a case related to the promotion of gambling applications on social media.

    After spending over three months in custody, Ducky Bhai had secured bail from the Lahore High Court on November 24 against surety bonds worth Rs1 million.

    ‘How can a YouTuber upload videos when his account is case evidence?’: NCCIA asks court in Ducky Bhai case

    A Lahore district court has reserved its decision on returning confiscated YouTube accounts and equipment to popular YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, more famously known as Ducky Bhai, after prosecutors raised concerns about recent video uploads during the case proceedings.

    During Monday’s hearing at the district court, the prosecutor informed the judge that Rehman has uploaded eight videos since his equipment was seized.

    According to reports, Assistant Director of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency questioned how the YouTuber could upload content while his accounts remain case property.

    “The YouTube account is still evidence in the case. How can the YouTuber upload videos?” the NCCIA official asked the court.

    He expressed concerns that Rehman might delete or modify videos that form the basis of the case against him.

    Ducky Bhai countered by telling the court he has submitted an affidavit promising not to tamper with any videos.

    “I did not upload the videos. My editor uploaded them,” the YouTuber clarified.

    The court asked Rehman to identify his editor, to which he responded that his editor is a friend who lives in Hyderabad.

    The judge then questioned the NCCIA director about whether officials knew someone else had access to the account. The director explained that some account owners do not provide editors with access to their platforms.

    After hearing arguments from both parties and their lawyers, the court reserved its verdict on the matter.

    Rehman secured bail from the Lahore High Court on November 24 after spending more than three months in custody. The court approved his release on a surety of ten lakh rupees, with Justice Shahram Sarwar Chaudhry delivering the verdict.

  • Internet goes wild as AI videos show Govinda as Na’vi in Avatar 3

    Internet goes wild as AI videos show Govinda as Na’vi in Avatar 3

    Social media users have flooded the internet with AI-generated videos and images showing Bollywood actor Govinda as a blue Na’vi character in the highly anticipated film Avatar: Fire and Ash, sparking widespread confusion and nostalgia among fans.

    The viral content, which spread rapidly across platforms after the film’s release on December 19, shows the veteran Bollywood actor delivering his famous dialogues in the fictional alien form and even sharing scenes with protagonist Jake Sully.

    The videos are entirely fabricated using artificial intelligence technology, created purely for entertainment and engagement. However, the clever mashup of nostalgia and humor has captivated audiences online.

    One user wrote, “Show me a better Avatar than this.”

    Another user expressed disbelief, commenting, “Ain’t no way James Cameron convinced Govinda to do a cameo in Avatar 3.”

    “Finally Govinda Avatar,” wrote an excited fan, while another chimed in, “Govinda cameo in the Avatar Fire and Ash was unexpected.”

    One confused viewer even asked, “Govinda wala Avatar full movie kaha dekhne milega? sirf insta pe hi hai?” (Where can I watch the Govinda Avatar full movie? Is it only on Instagram?)

    The viral trend connects to an old interview where Govinda claimed he received an offer to appear in the original Avatar film but declined due to the lengthy shooting schedule and body paint requirements. He also claimed he suggested the film’s title.

    However, Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja cast doubt on his claims during a podcast appearance, stating she had no clear knowledge of such an offer.

    Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in James Cameron’s blockbuster franchise, released on December 19, and features no actual appearance from Govinda.

  • ‘Felt I was listening to Nusrat’: Viewers react to Shahzaman Ali Khan

    ‘Felt I was listening to Nusrat’: Viewers react to Shahzaman Ali Khan

    Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s son Shahzaman Ali Khan left a huge impression on Pakistan Idol during episode 24 with his rendition of the iconic qawwali ‘Kise Da Yaar Na Vichre’, prompting an outpouring of nostalgic reactions online.

    The hit song was originally sung by the late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s greatest musical legends.

     Nusrat played a pivotal role in taking qawwali to global audiences, while his nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan went on to establish himself as a leading vocalist across classical, qawwali and playback singing.

    Viewers quickly made comparisons to the family’s renowned musical heritage when Shahzaman Ali Khan appeared on a national platform.

    As clips from the episode circulated on social media, several users remarked that Shahzaman’s voice carried shades of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. One listener wrote that his voice had “hints of the legendary qawwal,” while wishing him success for the future.

    Another user commented that “Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music continues to live on,” calling it “a source of pride for Pakistanis,” and stating that “some artists never truly die, as their legacy survives through their work.”

    Some reactions pointed out that while Shahzaman’s voice “resembled that of the late maestro,” it would “continue to improve with time and experience.”

    Others focused on the emotional depth of “Kise Da Yaar Na Vichre,” saying the song was “powerful enough to move listeners to tears,” particularly those familiar with its Punjabi lyrics and classical composition.

    One comment described the performance as “deeply nostalgic,” adding that it “felt like listening to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan again,” while another praised Shahzaman as “a promising young talent carrying the family’s musical heritage forward.”

    A few viewers also linked the performance to personal memories, with one recalling that it “took them back to their childhood days of watching classic PTV drama Dhuwan in the 1990s.”

    While comparisons to Nusrat and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan remain inevitable, many viewers appeared appreciative of Shahzaman Ali Khan’s early steps into the spotlight, viewing his Pakistan Idol appearance as a respectful nod to a legacy that continues to resonate with audiences.

  • Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge split after two years

    Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge split after two years

    Popstar Olivia Rodrigo and British actor Louis Partridge have reportedly parted ways after nearly two years of dating, media reports have claimed. 

    Sources quoted by news outlets claim the couple decided to go their separate ways several weeks ago after a challenging period for both, opting to keep the split out of the public eye.

    According to the report, Rodrigo appeared visibly emotional at a recent holiday gathering in London, where friends were seen rallying around her. 

    The singer is said to have privately acknowledged the breakup in conversations with close circles, though neither she nor Partridge have made a public statement confirming the separation.

    Partridge, who gained global recognition through Netflix’s Enola Holmes franchise and House of Guinness, had previously spoken positively about the relationship. 

    In a September interview with Variety, he described their bond as “really happy” and brushed off concerns about being labelled solely in relation to Rodrigo’s fame.

    No official comments have been issued by representatives for either star, and both have remained silent on social media, leaving the breakup unconfirmed beyond media reports.

    The reported split comes at a high point in Rodrigo’s career, following a year marked by headline performances at major international festivals, including Glastonbury and British Summer Time in London.

     Fans have already begun speculating whether her recent personal experiences could shape the themes of her future music, a pattern familiar to listeners of her emotionally driven work.

    Partridge, meanwhile, continues to build momentum in his acting career, with several upcoming film and television projects lined up. 

    Until either party addresses the matter directly, the reported breakup remains based on media sources rather than official confirmation.

    The late Pakistani pop legend Nazia Hassan received an unexpected tribute from Hollywood superstar Nick Jonas, sparking excitement across social media. 

    The singer-songwriter and actor shared a short pre-show video from his JONAS20 Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, dancing to Nazia’s iconic track Aap Jaisa Koi alongside his wife Priyanka Chopra and brothers Kevin and Joe Jonas.

    The clip, posted on Instagram with the caption “tonight’s pre-show hype song,” captured the family trio vibing to the subcontinent’s first pop sensation just moments before taking the stage at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York, on Sunday, December 21.

    Fans immediately flooded the comments, thrilled to see the Jonas brothers honoring a Pakistani musical icon, whose career shaped pop music in South Asia. 

    The video follows the brothers’ viral Shararat clip earlier this month, which had already drawn reactions from Bollywood stars including Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar, Ayesha Khan, and Krystal D’Souza.

    Known as the Sweetheart of Pakistan, Nazia Hassan continues to be one of the finest musicians in the country. On August 13, 2000, the singer-songwriter and lawyer passed away of cancer at the age of 35.
     

    Her chart-topping hits such as Disco Deewane, Dosti, Boom Boom, Aankhen Milane Wale, and Dum Dum Dee Dee cemented her place in South Asian music history, making her tribute by an international star all the more remarkable.


    With Nick Jonas bringing Nazia’s music to a global stage, fans and music enthusiasts alike are celebrating the legacy of a pioneer who continues to inspire generations.

  • There’s hope for Meri Zindagi Hai Tu

    There’s hope for Meri Zindagi Hai Tu

    The drama has hope and honestly, it’s because of Kamyar (Bilal Abbas) and Ayra (Hania Aamir) and their explosive chemistry. Episode 13 was as dull as could be with Kamyar helping Ayra with her exam, by convincing her professor to let her retake it. Until Ayra confesses her love. But before that, she starts daydreaming during this retake too and honestly, we would never want her to be our doctor because the professor says that he will still pass her because of Kamyar. 

     

    Obviously, since life is looking up for Ayra, she finally decides to express her love to Kamyar, and it really is the sweetest scene that gives the drama its spark. The dialogues don’t do either of them any justice but the acting, the lingering, the chemistry makes them shine. Said it before and saying it again: this drama is only a hit because of the hit pairing.

     

    Episode 14 took an interesting turn with both families agreeing to let Kamyar marry Ayra, Ayra’s family taking a stand and saying that whatever happens, even if they had agreed to let Ayra marry elsewhere, it is her choice that matters the most. But it comes with an ominous warning that might signal that this drama is not what it seems. 

     

    Ayra’s mother tells her that people don’t change and this ‘he’s changed’ that everyone was raving about in Kamyar, the reason why her father agrees to the marriage, and his parents as well, it might not last. 

    This twist is also signalled when Kamyar tells Ayra that he only changed because of her and if he did not have her in his life, he would’ve gone back to his ‘old ways’. Also, lets not forget, we might have written Fariha off, after she’s been told that Kamyar is marriyng Ayra, but she’s not the type to be taken so lightly and might also make a comeback.

     

    If it doesn’t then there is a lot more to this drama than what it seems. One wishes the dialogues were better but if the twist is so twisty, there is hope for the drama and the blockbuster it could turn into in the end.
