Actor Danish Taimoor recently bagged the Best Actor Award for his hit play, Deewangi at the Lux Style Awards 2021, however he opened up on a lost Bollywood opportunity in resurfaced interview.
When the Deewangi star appeared on Bol Nights With Ahsan Khan along with his superstar wife Ayeza Khan, he revealed that he was offered to work alongside Bollywood glam girl Kareena Kapoor Khan but due to his misfortune, his big break in India never came.
During the show, the Mehrunisa V LubU actor disclosed that he was approached for a lead role opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan in the star-studded Bollywood movie Veere Di Wedding which played in cinemas in 2018. According to him, the dates were finalised but then tensions between the two countries escalated in 2016 and he could not go to India to start shooting for the film.
Sharing the details of how he was asked to work with the megastar, Taimoor stated: “We were all ready to go for the shoot but then we got to know that Kareena was pregnant. After Kareena delivered her baby in 2016, the situation between India and Pakistan got worse.”
He was later replaced with actor Sumeet Vyas, who played Kareena’s reel husband eventually.
As the situation worsened between Indo-Pak after the Uri attacks in September 2016.
On the work front, Danish is currently hosting a game show on a local TV channel and is shooting for a romantic serial opposite Dur-e-Fishan Saleem for ARY Digital.
On the morning show hosted by Nida Yasir, actor and singer Hadiqa Kiani opened up on topics ranging from her professional life to her personal life. The Raqeeb Se diva also opened up about her failed marriage with Syed Fareed Sarwary, a UK-based Afghan businessman.
During the interview, the host asked Hadiqa Kiani about her former husband, how she met him, and the reason for her divorce. “It was a completely arranged marriage,” the singer responded. “He was a 3D animator and used to make my videos in the 90s.”
“He fell in love with me,” she added. “One of our mutual friends helped him in sending a marriage proposal to my house. My family accepted the proposal since they were already looking for a proposal for me.”
“The major obstacle in my marriage was his mother,” the singer continued. “She had a problem with my music. We lived together for five and a half years and after that, we parted ways.”
“The biggest mistake I made was that when I was engaged to him I was not happy and satisfied with it, but during this time period he attempted suicide by eating pills, which changed my mind about it,” Kiani recalled.
The Dobara star then revealed that she later married an Afghani man who lived in United Kingdom to give her child a surname and to complete his paperwork.
Last year she took to her Instagram handle and posted a long note in which she appreciated the government’s new policy related to allow children of single mothers eligible to acquire CNIC without father’s information.
In a ruling, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to issue Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to a woman who didn’t know about her father’s whereabouts.
The Zindagi Gulzar Hai singer stated: “Only Allah knows the hardships a single mother faces in our country. Today I have been sent so many clips from my conversation with Sameena Peerzada regarding only the surface of those hard realities but today our country has taken one step forward. I am so grateful to the courageous men and women who fought to make this change. Let’s continue on the right path, let’s make a stronger and safer Pakistan.”
Hadiqa adopted her son Naad-E-Ali in 2005 from Edhi Foundation, and has raised her child as a single mother.
Rapper Kanye West has revealed a few modifications that will appear in his Instagram postings in the future. He has discovered that using all capitalised characters, as he’s been doing, gives the impression that he’s yelling.
He also admitted that sharing screen grabs might be disconcerting for people affected.
On Tuesday, the 44-year-old apologised in a fresh Instagram post. The Grammy-winning rapper had spent the previous few days ranting about Pete Davidson despite his growing affair with Kim Kardashian, including forbidding the Saturday Night Live comic from visiting his children and labeling him a “d***head.” Today, Kanye erased all pictures from his Instagram account and posted a fresh post with a change of heart, seemingly realising the consequences of his actions.
“I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them,” he penned. He further wrote, “I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me.” He continued: “I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability.” Kanye’s statement comes amid claims that Kim contacted him about his rants potentially placing Pete in “danger.” The rapper shared screenshots allegedly from ‘Kim’s other phone,’ in which the reality star stated that Kanye was ‘creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault,’ as per The Sun.
Kanye has erased all but two of his Instagram postings since then: a montage of heartwarming photographs of Kim and their four children from Kim’s recent Vogue shoot, and the cover of his next album Donda 2.
Meanwhile Kanye has called it quits with actress Julia Fox on Monday, after a whirlwind six-week romance and also spent time with his children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm at Sunday Service and the Super Bowl.
Kim filed for divorce from Ye a year ago citing “irreconcilable differences.” The pair who share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm remained fairly amicable as co-parents in the initial wake of the split. Months down the line, however, Ye began making a bunch of grand declarations in a bid to reconcile his and Kim’s relationship, which included asking her to “run right back” to him onstage at a concert in December.
Following his unsuccessful attempts to win her back, Ye has recently called Kim out with a series of public statements which started around the time she was first linked to Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson in late October. In fact, Ye first expressed his disapproval of Kim’s new relationship in an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast in November, where he continually insisted that she’s “still [his] wife” and claimed he’d “never even seen” any of their divorce papers.
Ye publicly dissed Pete by name for the first time that same month. In his song “Eazy,” Ye raps: “God saved me from this crash / Just so I could beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” He seemingly went on to suggest that Pete should “thank” him for letting him “have” Kim in a song released just last week, titled “City of Gods.”
Things only got messier after Ye publicly shared a message he’d received from Pete. “[That’s] a promise. How you guys [go about] raising your kids is [your business] and not mine,” the message continues.
“I do [hope one] day I can meet them and [we can] all be friends,” it finishes. Ye, shared a photo of Pete and Machine Gun Kelly in Calvin Klein underwear from a memorable Instagram livestream in December — wrote in the caption: “NO YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN.”
Ye then shared a handful of other posts aimed at Pete, calling him “garbage” and “trash.” He even rehashed a false rumor that Pete once sent late rapper Mac Miller intimate photos of himself and Ariana Grande, in a bid to prevent them from getting back together.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday acquitted the prime suspect and brother of model Qandeel Baloch, Waseem Azeem, in her murder case, abolishing the life imprisonment awarded to him by a sessions court.
The LHC’s Multan bench cancelled life imprisonment of the accused after witnesses deviated from their statements in the trial court and Qandeel’s mother submitted a reconciliation agreement stipulating parental pardon.
In 2016, Muhammad Waseem was arrested after he confessed to killing Qandeel Baloch, 26, for posting what he called ‘scandalous’ pictures on social media. The case became Pakistan’s most high profile “honour killing” of recent years.
Actor Osman Khalid Butt tweeted, “Qandeel Baloch’s murderer walks free today after serving less than six years of his life sentence. He is on record admitting to drugging and murdering his sister. Someone please make this make sense to me.”
Qandeel Baloch's murderer walks free today after serving less than six years of his life sentence. He is on record admitting to drugging and murdering his sister. Someone please make this make sense to me.
He went on to comment, “We are in the concluding stages of a high-profile and incredibly brutal murder case even now – how does this ruling inspire any confidence (except to the guilty) in our judicial system? Six years – and an anti-honour killing Bill – later, we’re back to square one.”
This is not the first time sentences for heinous crimes have been reduced or overturned. Why do these loopholes still exist in our judicial system whereby murderers can eventually walk free?
Osman concluded with, “This is not the first time sentences for heinous crimes have been reduced or overturned. Why do these loopholes still exist in our judicial system whereby murderers can eventually walk free?”
Singer Meesha Shafi also spoke about Waseem’s acquittal. “So Qandeel Baloch killed in cold blood,” the popular singer tweeted, adding, “Her father, who tried to pursue justice above and beyond his means.. passed away. Her murderer, her brother, alive and roaming free once again. We’re living in the opposite world.”
So #QandeelBaloch killed in cold blood. Her father, who tried to pursue Justice above and beyond his means.. passed away. Her murderer, her brother, alive and roaming free once again.
During the hearing on Monday, defending lawyer Sardar Mehboob argued before LHC Justice Sohail Nasir that the father of the model and complainant had passed away, adding that the witnesses had also deviated from their statements in the trial court.
He said the sessions court had ignored the settlement reached between the parties. After hearing the arguments, the court acquitted Waseem by cancelling his life imprisonment. “He has been fully acquitted”, his lawyer Mehboob told AFP, without giving further details. The court order has yet to be made public.
