One of Pakistan’s most loved celebrity couples, Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt, have welcomed their third daughter, Naimal.

Muneeb confirmed the happy news on his Instagram story on Wednesday afternoon, sharing that Naimal was born on August 26.

The announcement was made in the most adorable way, through a heartfelt letter written from Naimal’s older sisters, Amal and Miral. It read: “Dear Naimal, from the moment you arrived, you brought magic into our world. Your tiny hands, your sweet smile, everything about you is a gift we’ll always cherish.”

Aiman and Muneeb are already parents to two daughters, Amal and Miral. The couple had been open about their third pregnancy, with Aiman continuing to work until late in her term. In a recent vlog, Muneeb even shared that they skipped a grand second birthday celebration for Miral as they were preparing to welcome their third child.

Rubi Anum has publicly apologized after facing heavy backlash for her controversial remarks about veteran actress Bushra Ansari.

In a video circulating on social media, Rubi said, “I did not say anything bad intentionally. I will share the reason behind my remarks very soon on my TV show.”

She added, “I did not intend to hurt anyone. You cannot find happiness by hurting others. If someone thinks that I did this all intentionally, I apologize.”

Rubi further urged people not to judge her too quickly.

Earlier, during her appearance on Sabih Sumair’s podcast, Rubi had made remarks suggesting Bushra Ansari should retire instead of doing vlogs. She said, “Bushra Ansari is my favourite. I like her a lot; if I say so, it would be a lie. She should rest at this age. She is not at that age now to take up a camera and do vlogging.”

She went on to add, “She should fear Allah. What is she doing now that she is old? She is older than our mothers.”

Her comments quickly drew backlash from fellow celebrities. Actress Zhalay Sarhadi said, “Incredibly out of line, intrusive, rude and disrespectful. Why must such people spew needless opinions? To get viral? Is that it? Such a disgrace.”

Actress Mamya Shajaffar added, “Breaks my heart how women always bring other women down.”

Singer Ghania Ali wrote, “Ok, I found her extremely rude, period!”

Reacting strongly to these remarks, Bushra Ansari said, “It was a cheap attempt by someone to get fame. Cheap people can say anything to anyone.”

She clarified that she does not even know her personally. “I don’t even know her, I have seen her in some viral videos maybe.”

Bushra also said, “Umer Sharif, Zia Mohyeddin, and Moin Akhtar were fortunate to leave the world with respect.” She added that she always refers to Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan with great respect.

Indian singer Sonu Nigam has expressed deep gratitude for legendary Pakistani singer Attaullah Esakhelvi, saying that the veteran artist played a big role in his career.

In a recent interview, Sonu said, “Definitely, he is a beautiful soul and holds great importance in my life. I had just started my career covering his songs. He called me and said, ‘Mr. Sonu, I am Attaullah Esakhelvi from Pakistan, and I want to tell you that you sang it really well.’”

Sonu added, “I was just 19 at that time. It was very kind of him. I pray for all those legendary singers who contributed to my success.”

Expressing his gratitude, he added, “I am indebted to him. I credit all my success to him, and Acha Sila was the turning point of my career, a song that was heard by every person in India.”

Sonu Nigam, often called the Mohammed Rafi of the modern era, is one of Bollywood’s most celebrated playback singers. His career spans decades, with hit songs like Kal Ho Naa Ho, Sandese Aate Hai, Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin, Suraj Hua Maddham, and Main Agar Kahoon.

Hasan Raheem has just released Exes, the second track from his upcoming album Dil Kay Parday. The song features Talha Anjum and Talha Yunus, with Abdullah Kasumbi and Matt Cohn handling production.

The track has light guitars, smooth synths, and a beat that feels perfect for late-night listening. Raheem sings, “You’ve been talking to your exes,” with just the right tone, making it instantly relatable. Anjum and Yunus add powerful verses that balance Raheem’s emotional side, making sure the song doesn’t get too soft.

One of the most powerful moments comes from Anjum’s line , “Haath uthay hain to Rab kay liye Koi nae mera, main sab kay liye…”

Raheem appears calm, but when the mood shifts, he transforms into Anjum or Yunus. Yunus is shown in a flooded house, while Anjum raps in a city on fire, visuals that match the emotions of love, suffocation, and anger.

Exes feels a lot like an actual ex, familiar, comfortable, and hard to forget. Hasan Raheem has been staying in this same moody, emotional style since Aisa Hi Hun and Joona. 

That’s why songs like Zaalima, Memories and Radha felt so fresh. They had desi melodies and showed that Raheem was ready to try something new. Exes, on the other hand, feels like a step back. 

Fans filled the comment section with excitement, one user wrote, “The collab I wantedd is almost here ”

Another added, “The collab we knew and we wanted ❤❤❤”

A fan commented, “SOMETHING BIG COMING SOON ”

While another wrote, “YOUR SONG EXES RIGHT AFTER MARRIAGE IS WILD ”

American superstar Taylor Swift took to Instagram to announce that she and American footballer Travis Kelce are getting married.

In less than an hour the post had more than five million likes and although the comments are off, people are reposting asking questions about the beautiful diamond ring on her finger and the fairy tale like setting where the proposal apparently took place.

Taylor Swift, 35, is America’s sweetheart and already a music legend, with the highest grossing live artist recognition. 

Travis Kelce, 35, is a footballer with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pakistan is about to get a brand-new platform to showcase its talent as Pixel Entertainment has announced a partnership with global entertainment giant Fremantle to bring the world’s most successful reality show format, Got Talent, to the country for the very first time.

The franchise, originally created by Simon Cowell and owned by Fremantle, has aired in more than 70 countries and holds the Guinness World Record as the most successful reality TV format in history. Now, Pakistan will join the list with its very own edition, Pakistan’s Got Talent.

The show aims to provide a wide-open stage for performers of all kinds, including singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, acrobats, beatboxers, and anyone who believes they have what it takes to impress the audience. Nationwide open auditions are expected to begin soon, giving aspiring performers from every part of the country a chance to shine.

The announcement follows another major development in Pakistan’s television industry, the return of Pakistan Idol. MHL Global recently secured the rights to revive the popular singing competition from Fremantle, setting the stage for a new wave of talent discovery and reality TV excitement.

With both Pakistan Idol and Pakistan’s Got Talent in the pipeline, the local entertainment scene seems poised for a much-needed boost. These franchises could serve as a stepping stone for undiscovered talent, open new opportunities, and possibly set fresh benchmarks for the industry if executed well.

Joint families are a recurring theme in Pakistani dramas, and HUM TV’s upcoming project Jama Taqseem takes a similar route, but with its own twist. The title itself sums up the story: Jama means togetherness, while Taqseem means division, perfectly capturing the essence of the teaser.

The drama stars Mawra Hocane as the newlywed bride trying to find her place in a household that’s already set in its ways, while Talha Chahour plays a man who cannot distance himself from his family. His deep attachment leaves him torn between family expectations and his wife’s happiness, setting up the classic dilemma: who comes first, the family or the partner?

The teaser shows a mix of love, warmth, and belonging, along with tension, resistance, and inevitable clashes. While the story of an outsider bride disrupting the joint family system is familiar, Jama Taqseem comes from writer Sarwat Nazir, which raises hopes that it will go beyond clichés.

Directed by Ali Hassan, known for Meem Se Mohabbat, the drama promises a polished look and strong performances. The drama also features Javed Sheikh, Deepak Perwani, Madiha Rizvi, Hassan Ahmed, Tazeen Hussain, Beo Rana Zafar, and more. 

Check out the first teaser here:

Actress Asma Abbas revealed that her WhatsApp account was hacked and used to send fake money requests to her contacts.

The issue came to light Sunday when her sister, veteran actress Bushra Ansari, shared a screenshot showing someone posing as Asma to ask a man named Ibrahim for Rs1 million. Ansari cautioned followers not to trust such messages.

Later, Asma Abbas posted a video on Instagram to alert the public. She said, “Asslam o Alaikum, friends, how are you all? I just wanted to inform you that my WhatsApp has been hacked, and many people are receiving messages from my number asking for money. This is becoming very common these days, so please don’t believe such messages.”

She apologised to her friends who were troubled by the requests, adding, “My dear friends are facing a lot of trouble because of this, and I truly apologise for that. Unfortunately, this trend has started in our country, and it’s very sad.”

Explaining how it happened, Asma Abbas shared that she received a call about a parcel delivery. “Someone had called me, saying that my parcel had arrived and asked for my address. Naturally, I shared it because my daughter Zara had sent me something four days ago. I thought maybe it got delayed due to the rains and had now arrived. They said a code would be received, and I even shared that code. How were we supposed to know what was going on?”

She said that after sharing the code, her WhatsApp was blocked, and the hacker began sending fake messages. Reassuring her fans, she added, “Please ignore any such messages and don’t worry at all. I am absolutely fine, Alhamdulillah, and I don’t need any money. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Please take care and stay cautious.”

Lahore police arrested theatre actor Samar Rana on Sunday after a 16-year-old domestic worker accused her and others of rape and torture.

According to media reports, Nawab Town police registered a case under Section 376 of the Pakistan Penal Code against Rana, her employee, and four unidentified men.

The FIR was reportedly filed by the girl’s mother, stating that her daughter began working at Rana’s residence in OPF Housing Scheme on August 8. On the night of August 14, a man living in the upper portion of the house allegedly gave the girl a drugged drink and raped her. The next morning, Rana’s employee reportedly drugged and assaulted her again. He then called four other men, unknown to the victim, who allegedly raped her over the next two days.

The FIR further alleges that the girl remained drugged and confined in the house, where the suspects recorded videos and took photos of the assault. Rana allegedly hit the girl in the stomach and threatened her to stay silent.

The victim escaped on August 18 but remained quiet out of fear. Her mother discovered the abuse on August 23 after noticing her daughter’s injuries and immediately approached the police.

Law enforcement raided Rana’s residence and took her into custody. Police confirmed that efforts are underway to arrest the remaining suspects.
