    ‘No woman is safe in Pakistan’: Nimra Khan escapes kidnapping attempt

    Actress Nimra Khan, recognized for her role in Geo TV’s drama serial ‘Umme Ayesha,’ has shared details of a terrifying experience where she escaped a kidnapping attempt.


    Nimra posted a video telling her followers,

    “I am Muslim proudly but I am sorry being Pakistani I dnt knw what should I say.”
    She begun: “Assalamu Alaikum, the nation is still alive, right? However, the purpose of this video is not to praise this country. What happened to me yesterday was horrible; do you want your sister, daughter, or wife to experience the same fate? It is not safe to send any of your girls outside of Pakistan; I guarantee you that they are not safe here. You people understand that it is ridiculous to celebrate August 14th when girls are still unsafe in Pakistan.”

    “Yesterday, I was standing near Ramada, waiting for my car when the three men came and tried to kidnap me, they harassed me. I had mobile, bag and I was waiting for my family, it was raining, those men held me on gun point were dragging me to their car but no one heard me. I did my own protection, I pushed him and started running, he had guns, and he could open fire on me. How can I say that I am safe in this country where I pay taxes when I stepped in front of a passing car? The family and Ramada staff saved me. I see why people have guards with them now; we need guards, which is probably why so many people are moving abroad. I am not safe here, and I can hire guards with my tax money,” the Umme Ayesha actress added.

    He requested that the Government of India take immediate steps to stop the misuse of AI and the use of fake technology. On July 26, a user shared a video on Facebook in which Kumar Sanu was singing a song at a concert for the release of former Prime Minister Imran.

    Resham breaks silence: ‘Syed Noor destroyed my career’

    Renowned actress Resham has leveled serious allegations against director Syed Noor, saying that he ruined her film career.


    Resham, a well-known name in Pakistani cinema, started her acting career on TV and starred in popular films like ‘Jeeva’ and ‘Sangam.’ Although she was successful early on, Resham stepped back from acting in recent years to focus more on charity work.


    During an appearance on ‘Excuse Me’ podcast with Ahmed Ali Butt Resham talked about her career and Pakistani cinema, saying, “I recently heard Syed Noor say that I was an unfortunate actress because I ruined myself by working in low-budget films.”


    Resham defended her choices, saying that every actor does both good and bad projects. “Show me any actor who has only done good work. We all have ups and downs, but everyone thinks only Resham made bad films,” she said.


    She also accused Noor of betraying her professionally, especially after he fell in love with actress Saima, whom he then cast repeatedly in his movies. “Syed Noor was the only director who understood my acting, but he stopped giving me roles because of his feelings for Saima Ji,” she explained.


    She strongly stated, “By God, Syed Noor ruined my career. He insulted me on set, asking who would cast me in their films.”
