    ‘Pata nahi yeh saza thi yaan kya’: Nida Yasir breaks down on her show

    Host and actor Nida Yasir recently arranged a special episode of her morning show, Good Morning Pakistan in which all the celebrities who lost their loved ones showed up.

    The stars shared their painful phases of life and how they coped up with that permanent loss.

    She also shared about the death of her mother and the biggest regret she has in her life. Nida broke down into tears while sharing her plight during her mother’s demise.

    “The day after I reached the Maldives I got to know that my mother passed away. During Covid, I was not even able to come back at once because of the corona test and other safety measures. The next morning I found out about my mother’s death, I just spent the whole day praying to Allah to create an easy way for me so I can go back home and see my mother. This thing hurts me the most that I was not there with my mother during her last moments.”

    She added, “My sisters always make me understand that it is very difficult to forget those last moments as they are very painful. I don’t know if that was it a punishment Allah gave me or something else but it will always remain the biggest regret of my life.”

    Earlier this year the Chakkar producer made headlines for refusing a male fan’s request of selfie. The Nadaniyaan diva could be seen saying in the video that I don’t take pictures with men.

    Later, a clip from The Current’s exclusive interview with Nida is resurfacing on web in which she stated the reason of doing so.

    “The reason is that I have seen photographs of a lot of actresses on random pages with captions. They [other actresses] must’ve posed considering them their fans but the captions on Facebook etc say ‘Meet my friend, [XYZ],” she said.

    “I don’t judge anyone ever since, but I’ll get photographed with families, with female friends, but not with male fans,” Nida Yasir remarked.

    Recently we chatted again with Nida over her career, controversies and friendships.

    ‘There will be no place in hell to hide’: Feroze Khan grills Miftah Ismail for his recent remarks

    Actor Feroze Khan took to his Instagram stories to grill Finance Minister (FM) Miftah Ismail for his recent statement amidst the petrol hike. Khan is appalled at the comic remarks by Miftah Ismail on the recent inflation hikes.

    The Finance Minister recently mentioned in a speech that citizens rush to petrol stations whenever he appears on television. The Khaani hero feels his humorous remarks are insensitive and grilled the politician by saying that he will get no place in hell to hide.”

    Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday tweeted in support of Ismail. He further revealed that Ismail was facing immense criticism from within the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) because of the continuous increase in petrol prices.

    The Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 star recently responded to a fan who termed his smile as ‘poison’. Feroze laughed it off and responded that “where does such phrases come from?”

    He recently appeared on Tabish Hashmi’s show TBH (To Be Honest) and he talked about his one insane female fan. The Khaani star recently hit back a troll who commented a derogatory remark on his picture.

    The Ishqiya star said that while he was the VJ for a show, he had an experience with a female fan when he had to use the washroom in the middle of the show.

    The Dil Tera Hogaya actor added: “I was going to the washroom with my team, they were escorting me to the place , later on, I sent the team back and went to the washroom, while I got back , I noticed the sound of someone walking behind me, when I saw around, it was the girl’s face whom I was watching for many months, the face was already fixed in my mind because I saw her a lot on my sets, she just used to come & watch me.”

    He kept on saying, “I asked to her, Yes ?, she said that she needs my number, she grabbed me from my collar and asked for it “, “I then gave my uncle’s number because I was stuck in a weird situation at that time, also I thought how can someone be so aggressive for the number”, said Feroze.

    “My uncle then called me and said someone called and asked about you, uncle smiled too”. Feroze further said that then another day he called and said “please settle this thing, it’s getting out of hands, she is desperately asking for your number from me.”

    Feroze stated that he loves the appreciation that his followers shower him with, but that devotion may be dangerous.

  • Farhan Saeed opens up on equation with Hania Aamir and Iqra Aziz

    Farhan Saeed opens up on equation with Hania Aamir and Iqra Aziz

    Singer-cum-actor Farhan Saeed opened up on his professional equation with costars Hania Aamir, Iqra Aziz and wife Urwa Hocane in an interview. Saeed shared what’s most important to him when it comes to his co-stars.


    He said, “The only thing I focus on when it comes to heroines is that their vibes and energy should be positive, not only with me, but overall they should be unproblematic, then I think I’ll click.”

    Farhan added, “Until now all the heroines have been good to me, be it Iqra Aziz, Hania Aamir or even Urwa Hocane, they all are very nice people anyway but I really like unproblematic attitude, otherwise inner peace gets disrupted and I face problems in connecting with them.”

    Last month he also issued a statement on his equation with his wife Urwa in a recent interview amidst the couple’s patch-up rumours.

    The Mere Hamsafar star said, “The masses just have so much to say about everything, and some of their comments can be hurtful.”

    “We just want to keep some parts of our lives to ourselves.”

    Saeed further stated that the change came because of social media as the hate on the internet makes him panicky. 

    Earlier this year, he addressed the public speculation about his personal life and equation with Hocane.

    While getting candid about it, he stated that the constant speculation and interference in his personal life is a part of his job as when fans shower him with so much love it is understandable that they are emotionally invested and want to know more.

    “Ideally, I think to comment on the things which are shared but that’s idealism. When you are famous and in the public eye, there is always a price to pay. Criticism and praise come hand in hand. Just answer want you to want to and ignore other things.”

    The Suno Chanda star added further that he just answers what he wishes to and ignores everything else as every job comes with its advantages and disadvantages.

    Earlier last year it was reported that Farhan and Urwa have parted ways amicably, however recently some news portals informed that maybe the couple has reconciled. However the Udaari pair has never made a public statement about their split or alleged patch-up.

  • ‘Shame Shame Shame, Petrol bomb on awaam’: Sajal Aly calls out government for hike in petrol’s price

    ‘Shame Shame Shame, Petrol bomb on awaam’: Sajal Aly calls out government for hike in petrol’s price

    Actor Sajal Aly took to her Instagram stories to slam the federal government on its announcement of another hike in petroleum prices.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is WhatsApp-Image-2022-07-01-at-1.32.40-PM.jpeg

    The Mom star termed this announcement as a “petrol bomb”.

    The federal government announced that there will be a new hike in the price of petroleum products on Thursday for the next fortnight, putting an additional burden of nearly Rs15-18 per litre on the masses.

    The Finance Division, in its notification, said that in view of the fluctuations in petroleum prices in the international market and exchange rate variation, the government has decided to partially apply a petroleum levy, and revise the existing prices of petroleum products “as agreed with the development partners.”

    With the fresh hike, the price of petrol will be Rs248.74/litre, diesel will be Rs276.54/litre, kerosene oil will be sold for Rs230.26/litre, and the price of light diesel oil will be Rs226.15/litre.

    The coalition govt, since coming to power in April, has raised the price of petrol by Rs84. It had first raised the petrol price by Rs30 on May 26, followed by another increase of Rs30 on June 2. And on June 15, it hiked the price by another by Rs24 today.

    Earlier this year the Khel Khel Mein star tweeted that in our society, parents need to learn how to treat their children right as well. These sensitive relations require effort from both sides.

    “I believe, along with teaching children how to behave and conduct themselves, we should also teach parents how to treat their children,” she wrote in a tweet. “Parents should get weekly classes (one hour a week, minimum) on how to deal with children and their dilemmas.

    The Aangan star highlighted the fact that children are not playthings that can be molded according to their parents’ liking they’re individuals who deserve the same respect and disciplined response that is expected of them. It is a two-sided relationship that requires effort on both sides but the greater side needs to be the parents, to bring another human being into the world is automatically shouldering the duty to raise them and do right by them.

    This includes learning to give them the space and attention that they require to grow healthily.

    ‘When the two used to be in the make-up room, and Yasir would dry his hair, she asked the assistant to shift Yasir’s seat somewhere far and cited that the heated air of the dryer is bothering her.”

    “Talking to your senior actor like this is called rudeness, which is completely wrong.”

    He concluded by saying that no matter how successful you are, you cannot talk to a senior like that.

    She should be grateful that a star like Yasir worked with her.

    Feroze Khan, who recently collaborated with the Bebasi actress for an endorsement jumped in to express his support for her on social media.

  • Science declares Robert Pattinson as the ‘most attractive man on earth’

    Science declares Robert Pattinson as the ‘most attractive man on earth’

    According to a recent report by LadBible, Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson has been declared the most attractive man alive on earth by science.

    The title comes after an algorithm that ranks different facial features analysed of actors like Ryan Gosling, Idris Elba, Brad Pitt and Henry Cavill. Although the actors are good-looking in their own sense, none of them could match Pattinson’s perfect features.

    In 2020 also, Pattinson was announced as the most attractive man in the world according to science. The actor’s beauty was judged using an ancient Greek calculation method, the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which has historically been used to measure physical perfection. It seems that even now Pattinson continues to hold that title.

    The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi is said to have originated during the European Renaissance era. According to Vice, this calculation was mainly used by architects and artists like Leonardo Da Vinci to map and measure the “perfect” length and width for their artistic creations. In modern times, the same formula has been adapted to measure beauty standards and determine how perfect a person’s physical features are. Under this technique, the face is measured and the results are divided. The closer a face’s measurement is to Phi (1.618), the more attractive the person is said to be. The beauty factor also relies on the symmetry and proportion of the face and is influenced by factors such as whether the length of the ear is equal to the length of the nose, or if the width of the eye is equal to the distance between the eyes.

    Robert Pattinson robs Brad Pitt and David Beckham of World's Most Beautiful  Man title - Irish Mirror Online

    Speaking to LadBible, Centre of Facial Cosmetic Surgery’s Dr Julian De Silva said, “Robert Pattinson was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.” Silva added that the brand new computer mapping techniques have allowed scientists to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful. Silva also mentioned that the technology is useful when planning a patient’s surgery who aims to accentuate their features.

    According to Vice, Pattinson has the most perfect physical features, followed by British actor Cavill, who has a score of 91.46 percent, Cooper who is rated 91.08 percent, Pitt at 90.51 percent and Clooney ranking fifth with 89.91 percent. Meanwhile, Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid was declared the most beautiful woman in the world through the same method in 2020.

  • ‘Cultural shock’: Kangana Ranaut reveals Mumbai men split bills on dates, Delhi men pay for both

    ‘Cultural shock’: Kangana Ranaut reveals Mumbai men split bills on dates, Delhi men pay for both

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut recently appeared on the YouTube Channel, Curly Tales’ show ‘Sunday Brunch’, where the Gangster diva revealed her observation about men from different Indian states.

    Ranaut shared that when she was new in Mumbai as a model, she was slightly shocked to see how men in Mumbai ask to split the bills on dates which was a culture shock for her as she is from Manali. Earlier she also did theater and modelling in Delhi and no man ever asked her to pay the bills on dates.

    Kangana mentioned that in the initial days of her career, she used to live with 5-6 other girls as a paying guest when she had a limited amount of money. When she was asked how her food choices used to be in those days, the actress said that for her Delhi was a very different experience. She said that friends of friends or their boyfriends used to often take them out on rides and pay for their food too. She added that though they used eat very little, they often visited fancy places. Kangana added that when she started earning, she too used to pay at times, but there was no stress about paying. The actress said that in Mumbai, things were different.

    She said, “But when I came to Mumbai, even if you go on a date, you have to Dutch. So this was very new to me, it was a bit of a culture shock. Even in Chandigarh I never paid on a date. But in Mumbai everybody is so practical that even if you are on a date you have to pay equal. If you have water then you pay for it. I think it’s fine. I don’t think it’s not cool, it’s cool.”
