Popular Pakistani YouTubers Nimra and Asad got married in 2020, taking their internet fame to the next level. Fans liked their wedding photos and enjoyed watching their videos on YouTube. But now, Asad has a message for his viewers about his videos taking a radically different line.
Asad shared a video online where he explained why he won’t be featuring his family in videos anymore. “Many people were asking me why I stopped sharing family content and why I don’t show my wife on social media. I want to tell you that I made this decision quite quickly. We often chase after money and worldly desires without thinking about Allah and Islamic teachings. I read something about people who won’t be forgiven, including those who are disrespectful to parents, those who dress up like the other gender, and those who show their wives to the world. After reading that, I decided to stop sharing family content. I will still do vlogging, and you will see me and Azlan. I will post good content but won’t show other family members.” Here is the link to the video:
In the world of entertainment, movies are a way to tell stories, represent cultures, and express art. But sometimes, a movie can cause problems when it goes too far and includes content that is offensive. Recently, a Bollywood movie called ‘Fighter’ landed in controversy after Pakistani celebrities strongly reacted to what they thought was anti-Pakistani element.
The film has been accused of showing Pakistan in a negative light and promoting harmful stereotypes.
At one point in the movie, Hrithik Roshan says, “We are the owners, Pakistan has occupied Kashmir. (maalik hum Hain)”
Actors like Zara Noor Abbas took to social media to express anger.
Actor Asad Siddiqui vented on Instagram by saying, “It’s the same old story! Aren’t you guys tired of selling false stuff? Grow up! The world is moving forward, and you’re still promoting this cheap story of hatred. You could have promoted peace instead.” He suggested checking facts that everyone knows, mentioning the incident where a MiG-21 was shot and the pilot was captured but released after a cup of tea.
Hira Khan, another showbiz star, also brought up the ‘tea’ incident, saying, “It’s sad that big superstars need to criticize Pakistan to make their movies work. I feel sorry for you guys.”
Adnan Siddiqui took to X to state, “Once celebrated for love, Bollywood now crafts hate-filled narratives, portraying us as villains. Despite our love for your films, it’s disheartening. Art transcends boundaries; let’s use it to promote love and peace. Two nations, victims of politics, deserve better.”

Hania Aamir, who is liked by people from both sides of the border, shared on her Instagram Story, “It’s really sad and unfortunate to find out that there are artists today who know how influential cinema is but still go ahead and create differences between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who believe in using their art to bring people together. It’s not good. Let art be free.”
The controversy around ‘Fighter’ arose from its trailer, which revealed that the movie revolves around an attack on Indian air forces in Pulwama. It references real events like the Pulwama attack and India’s actions in Balakot.
Every year, PSL songs take the limelight as fans get divided over the best Pakistan Super League song, comparing them to previous years, while artists take it as a challenge to put up their best.
This year, The Current has exclusive insights to a new controversy, which involves a seasoned artist – Ali Zafar.
A source who spoke to us claimed that Ali Zafar was, once again, trying to lobby for the PSL anthem.
According to a source, PCB was in talks with Ali Zafar to sing this year’s anthem but some PSL franchises pushed back saying the artist would tarnish the PSL brand because of the controversies surrounding him.
In response to our article previously published, Ali Zafar had this to say:
“I was indeed officially contacted by PCB to create the PSL anthem for this year. After working on it for two months, hiring musicians and music producers at my personal expense, I came up with three different versions of the anthem for the PCB to choose from. After one of them was finalized and the release was being planned, I was informed that PCB can’t go ahead with the anthem for reasons that I would not like to disclose at this point.
I wish the next team all the best with their endeavours.”
What Happened?
To show his social media strength and popularity to counter PCB’s reasoning, Ali Zafar went over to social media with a plan.
On January 12, Zafar posted on X (formerly Twitter), asking if an anthem by him will “enhance the image of the brand of PSL and PCB, deepen the connection with people, and bring more financial benefit to all stakeholders or will it prove to be otherwise?”.
Do you think that if I did the anthem of PSL this year, it will enhance the image of the brand of PSL and PCB, deepen the connection with people, and bring more financial benefit to all stakeholders or will it prove to be otherwise? Be honest with your votes. I have no ego and I…
This was followed by a poll, adding that “I will explain later, why I have posted this tweet”.
But when the results started to apparently turn against him, Zafar deleted his poll. This was followed by a post claiming that the polls were rigged with the help of bots.
“Told you to wait to see why I started the poll”, he said.
X users started trolling Ali Zafar because in the screenshots of polls he shared, the time stamp is the same throughout, indicating, according to users, that the pictures were photoshopped.
X (formerly Twitter) Reacts
Bhai images pe time stamps tau sahi tarah photoshop kar letay fazool excuses banaaney se pehlay.
Had to delete your own poll after your terrible plan backfired.
In January 2016, while performing at the launch event of the team Islamabad United, Ali Zafar released the team anthem “Chakka Choka” and performed it in the opening ceremony of PSL 2016 the following month.
Then in 2017, Zafar released the anthem for that year’s PSL “Ab Khel Jamay Ga”.
Controversy
In 2018, singer Meesha Shafi accused Ali Zafar of sexual harassment which Zafar denied, taking the matter to court and filing a defamation case against Shafi for slander.
While the case is still ongoing, Ali Zafar has been under heavy criticism for his condescending tone towards Shafi in interviews, while award shows and the entertainment industry has been condemned for engaging him.
Lollywood queen Reema Khan has shone on Pakistani screens for many years. However the superstar never acted in a Bollywood film, not even when many actors from here were starring in Indian projects.
Now, the actress has shared that she got offers to act in Bollywood, but she chose not to and preferred working in her own country. In a recent episode of GEO comedy show Hansna Mana Hai, a fan asked if her co-star Meera got an offer from Bollywood. Reema explained, “I attended the Bharat Awards ceremony, and I was offered films. However, I believe Meera has a lot of talent. I’ve seen her work in the past, and I didn’t like her working style.”
Reema said, “After observing how they work, I feel it’s better to have your own small place than being in a grand palace where you feel ashamed.” When asked about the respect she receives in India, she mentioned, “Certainly, many people in India respect us, but just like there are supportive groups, there are also those who don’t want Pakistani artists there. They don’t want Pakistanis in the Indian industry.”
Reema added, “There are many people in India who warmly welcome Pakistanis, but these specific groups have a significant influence.”
Sajal Ali might be a superstar but she still has the same feelings and emotions as the rest of us.
In an interview, Ali opened up about the topic, saying that she feels a lot of emotions in real life, just like when she acts. “I think I am as emotional in real life as I am when acting. People might think I’ve become stronger, but I’m still very much the same.”
For Ali, emotions are really important for her work. She said, “If I were to get rid of my feelings, I wouldn’t be able to act,” explaining that she experiences not just sadness and tears, but a whole range that helps her do well in her roles.
But there’s more to Sajal Ali than just serious roles. When asked about her sense of humor, she replied with a mischievous grin. “My sense of humor is excellent and those close to me know it well.” She mentioned that her playful side often goes unnoticed by the public, and people might only see one side of her in the roles she plays.

Ahsan Khan has a tattoo and fans are super curious as to why the actor got one. Well, wonder no more, Khan himself has explained the reason he got inked.
The actor recently talked about why he got a tattoo on the side of his neck on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast. At first, when asked about it, Khan tried to give a vague answer.
“Yes, I have a tattoo on my neck, and I got it because I really wanted to. The tattoo can be taken off. I got it because of a character in one of my TV shows. They were putting on a fake tattoo on me every day, and it was bothering me. So, I decided to get a real one that can also be removed. And I got this tattoo before the drama series ‘Fraud.’”
This isn’t the first time he has discussed his tattoo. When asked a similar question on Hassan Choudary’s show, Ahsan gave a similar response. He mentioned that the alphabet inked on his neck doesn’t have a specific meaning, and he doesn’t expect the audience to understand it either.
