  • Nida Yasir lands in hot waters for making ‘saas-bahu’ fight for ratings

    Nida Yasir lands in hot waters for making ‘saas-bahu’ fight for ratings

    Actor and Morning show host Nida Yasir is being trolled by Twitterati for inviting pairs of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law for the two to face off in front of an audience.

    A clip from the show doing the rounds on social media follows a mother-in-law complaining about how she had demanded for an educated daughter-in-law who can do domestic chores, emphasizing that her daughter-in-law has no interest in looking after domestic affairs. 

    The clip was shared by a host and social media influencer Kanwal Ahmed on Twitter, “Nida Yasir just topped her own problematic standards on this show where she invited saas bahus to complain about each other. Like here, a saas claims she hired a marriage bureau to find her a ‘perfect’ bahu who is educated but must stay home, only to discover she’s ‘phuar’. 

    In September 2020, Nida hosted a similar show which received flak.

    Earlier on Ahsan Khan’s show, the Nadaaniyaan star stated, “Interviews with known people usually get very high ratings but as soon as we switch to something more educational or informative the numbers fall. I love the more informative shows and so does the more educated demographic.” 

    Nida recently clapped back at a troll for age-shaming her.

    “let’s try”, replied the social media star.

    Rasheed told her to call him later citing that he is busy. When she insisted to continue the conversation, he told her to shut up in front of live audience of the show in Karachi.

    Hareem recently revealed the identity of her husband by posting a picture with him on her Instagram handle.

    The Current recently reached out to Hareem and asked her who the guy in the picture was. The TikToker revealed that the person in the picture is her husband.

  • Video: Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s confusion over ‘You’ is the best thing you will see today

    Video: Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s confusion over ‘You’ is the best thing you will see today

    Fox News host Laura Ingraham is not generally known to be ‘funny’ but a viral clip from the November 15 episode of ‘The Ingraham Angle’ has grabbed the attention of Netflix’s show YOU fans. The video has generated a lot of laughs although it is obvious Ingraham didn’t realise she was being funny.

    Ingraham was chatting with author Raymond Arroyo, a regular guest on her show, about the supposed popularity of “un-woke” television programming. Arroyo asserted, “There is a reason people are in love with ‘Yellowstone,’ Laura. It is an antidote to the politics and all those woke storylines in so many shows today.”

    Then he added, “I was watching an episode of You, where measles came up.”

    Ingraham interrupted him: “When did I mention measles?”

    Arroyo was referring to the Netflix show You, and he kept repeating the name of the show to clear up the confusion. But Ingraham kept thinking he was talking about her show.

    “We have never done a measles and vaccine episode,” she said. “Is this a joke? I don’t know what you are talking about.”

    “It was on You,” Arroyo repeated. “It was on You.”

    “Raymond, I have never had measles, what are you talking about?” she said. “This is stupid.”

    And it just kept going:

    “It was an episode of a show, Laura.”

    “What’s it called?”

    “You! You! It’s called You.”

    “I’ve never done a show on measles!”

    “It is a show called You on Netflix.”

    “There’s a show called Laura Ingraham on Netflix … what are you talking about?”

    Have a look:

    Penn Badgley, the star of You, even weighed in on the debate on Twitter, writing, “Definitely a bit. His delivery is great tho.”

  • President Arif Alvi, actor Riz Ahmed hit out at Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ for Islamophobic content

    Journalist Rana Ayyub highlighted the ‘Islamophobic’ elements in Bollywood’s Sooryavanshi in her article for Washington post. The acclaimed journalist tweeted about the same, reinstating that, “yet another exercise in criminal Islamophobia that seeks to normalise Narendra Modi’s anti-Muslim agenda. She claimed that it “feeds into the Muslim as terrorist narrative.”

    Starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the lead, it also features Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn. The film has already raked in over INR 150 crores at the Box-office.

    Pakistan’s President Arif Alvi expressed his disappointment on the same.

    He added, “The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, destroy its history.”

    Hollywood actor Rizwan Ahmed who recently shunned Hollywood for stereotyping Muslims, used the ‘disgusted’ emoji for the film.

    Earlier, Riz called out English films for their misrepresentation of Muslims, “The game right now is messed up. The game right now is rigged,” Ahmed said in a new interview with news outlet Muslim. “Muslims are either not on screen or they are [and] they’re the bad guys. They’re perpetrators or victims of violence. We’re either invisible or we’re villainized, cause the stories we tell about our community affect the laws that get passed, the people that get attacked, the people that get invaded.”

    ‘Don’t like him at all, lacks tameez and acting skills’: Hira Tareen blasts Yasir Hussain

    The Khaas star declared her dislikeness for actor and writer Yasir Hussain.

    On being asked about a celebrity who’s acting skills she doesn’t like, Ali answered for his wife and took Mahira Khan’s name. However Hira was quick to add that no, its actually a male celebrity whom she dislikes.

    She mentioned that she doesn’t like Yasir’s acting skills at all, adding that he lacks basic manners (tameez), “Its about how you talk to people”.

    The Jhooti actor recently shared a post and added a note that he will leak the movies on cable if they are not released in cinemas anytime soon. 

    Speaking of the digital era, the duo strongly believe that social media is starting to have a strong impact on the industry. “There will come a time when our actors will be girls who’ve risen on TikTok or other social media apps,” Safina said.

    Tareen thought that time is already here and Hania Aamir is a strong example of this.”

    The Qaraar star shared, “There was that shooting that happened at the production house in which a security guard opened fire on our engineer and seven others were injured as well. That was all over the news. A lack of security, late payments and dishonesty. No target oriented work which would mean that if you reach a certain target, this is the level you’ll achieve or be promoted. Actors or artists are investing their own money into social media. They’re getting their own pictures taken, putting in their own efforts to get them published and posted. If I put in this much effort in any other industry, I’d reach such heights in my career.”
