TikTok users have been left stunned after it has been revealed that popular Egyptian influencer ‘Yasmin’ is not who she claimed to be.

According to Arab media, the matter came to light after complaints were filed at a police station about the female TikToker’s dance videos. The police then summoned TikToker Yasmin for questioning and further investigation.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the person posing as a girl and running TikTok under the name Yasmin was actually an 18-year-old boy named Abdul Rahman.

The student admitted: “I created this account only to increase followers and earn money.”

Following his arrest, the court initially placed him on a four-day remand. He was later released on bail of 5,000 Egyptian pounds (about $105).

Abdul Rahman, who lives with his divorced mother in a village, was described by neighbors as a quiet and ordinary student at the Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management. One neighbor expressed disbelief: “We are in shock. What we saw as a normal young boy was fooling the world by becoming a girl.”

An Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed: “Abdul Rahman has been charged with impersonating a woman and publishing immoral content.”

This case has drawn attention as Egyptian authorities continue their crackdown on so-called “immoral content” on social media. In recent years, several female TikTok influencers have been arrested for posting lewd dances or explicit content, with some even sentenced to prison.

Pakistani theatre and drama actress Rubi Anam is under fire after making remarks about veteran actress Bushra Ansari, suggesting she should retire instead of making vlogs. Several celebrities have called her comments disrespectful and unnecessary.

The actress made the remarks during her recent appearance on Sabih Sumair’s podcast.

“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 a camera and do vlogging,” she said.

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

She also mentioned Bushra’s sister, Asma Abbas: “I have worked with Asma Abbas in a show. She loves me so much, gives me so much respect that I cannot say anything against her. I cannot tell her to stop now. Don’t overshoot so much. She is also working on TV, doing serials. Despite this, what is the need for her to do vlogging while shopping for clothes and shoes?”

Ruby further commented: “She wears a lot of makeup on her face, while she is not even that beautiful.”

Talking about her own appearance, she said: “I have not undergone any kind of surgery on my face. This is my natural beauty.” She added, “I keep a few drops of Zam Zam water in a bottle of rose water and sprinkle it on my face every day. That is why my face remains fresh and youthful.”

Ruby Anam’s remarks quickly drew backlash from fellow celebrities. 

Actress Zhalay Sarhadi strongly condemned the statement, saying: “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 also expressed disappointment: “Breaks my heart how women always bring other women down.”

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

Pakistani comedian and actor Tamkenat Mansoor has reacted strongly to a viral video showing a father bravely catching a man harassing his daughters. Sharing the clip on her Instagram story, she urged parents to trust and support their children.

She wrote: “Please always take your kids’ complaints seriously. Give them the confidence so they can share their issues with you. Kudos to this father for catching the culprit and handing him over to the authorities rather than imprisoning his own daughters.”

The video was originally posted by digital creator Shakeel Chishti on Instagram, who shared it with the caption: “14 din ho gaye bachiyon se ched khani karte hue, aaj range haathon baap ne pakar liya.”

In the video, the father explained, “It’s been 14 days, my two daughters go to madrassa, and for 14 days they were telling me, ‘Baba, whenever we go and stand there, some uncle comes and bothers us. Sometimes he asks us about the way to home, sometimes he asks our name, sometimes he asks Baba’s name.”

He added, “Yesterday morning, around 7:15 to 7:30, my daughter and son went to the bakery. As they were going upstairs, this person followed them in a narrow street. He went to the roof behind her, grabbed my daughter’s hand, and tried to abduct her.”

In efforts to protect his daughters, the father set a trap. “This morning after Fajr prayer, I went and stood there. As soon as my daughters came, two minutes later this man came and stood near them. So today we caught him red-handed. We will hand him over to the police and file a kidnapping case. We have identified him, now the rest is up to the law.”

Social media users applauded the father’s courage. A user wrote, “Father did an excellent job. But please don’t let your girls go out anywhere alone.”

Another said, “The kind of father every daughter deserves.”

One user commented, “Instead of imprisoning his daughters at home, he chose to catch the real culprit. Good!”

One added, “It heals me to see a father who actually stepped up for his daughters and took action! Proud of you. You just restored my faith in Pakistani society.”

Police in Lahore have registered a case against model Azbia Khan and photographer Zain Shah over a video filmed inside the historic Masjid Wazir Khan.

According to the FIR, lodged on the complaint of Mohammad Awais from the Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA), the two were accused of “violating the sanctity of the mosque.” The video in question was also uploaded on social media.

The WCLA official said the model recorded the video in “inappropriate attire” and without obtaining the authority’s permission. He added, “The video clip was recorded around four days ago and later uploaded on social media. It had also damaged the reputation of the department besides violating the sanctity of the mosque.”

Back in August 2020, actor Saba Qamar and singer Bilal Saeed also faced legal action for allegedly “violating the sanctity” of the same mosque during a music video shoot.

Following that controversy, the Punjab Auqaf and Religious Affairs Department banned the filming of dramas and movies in mosques and shrines.

The court has ordered the registration of a murder case over the death of actress and model Humaira Asghar.

The directive was issued by the Additional District and Sessions Judge (South), Karachi.

The petition maintained that “Humaira Asghar was murdered and the relevant persons, including her makeup artist, should also be included in the investigation.”

After reviewing the report by the petitioner’s lawyer and the police, the court ruled, “In light of the available records, a cognizable offence has been committed. Therefore, a case should be registered by recording the statements of Humaira Asghar’s family and the state.”

Humaira Asghar’s body was recovered from a flat in Ittehad Commercial, Karachi, on July 8, when the landlord approached the court for non-payment of rent, and the door was broken down by a court bailiff.

The post-mortem report revealed that the body was in the final stages of decomposition, suggesting that the actress died nearly eight months ago.

Investigating authorities shared that Humaira Asghar had been facing financial difficulties. Her last commercial shoot took place in September 2024, and work-related contacts were ongoing until October 2024.

In addition, chemical reports from the flat revealed that five samples found in frozen items contained sea salt, which is commonly used to reduce odours and repel insects. However, the salt found in the kitchen was different. According to investigators, “this detail may provide new angles to the case.”

Further inquiry also uncovered that the actress’s phone was active until October 2024. Despite repeated calls from her makeup artist, no response was received, and her WhatsApp profile picture was deleted.

Singer Hassan Rahim’s beautiful videos of Shalima, a mix of a baraat and wedding reception went viral on social media.

In the videos, Hasan Raheem can be seen wearing a Gilgit cap with black pants and a coat, while his bride stunned in a traditional red dress. Other clips showed the singer dancing to a traditional Gilgit-Baltistan performance, adding to the charm of the event.

The singer has not officially shared the videos or pictures of the Shalima, but several clips and images were posted by his fan pages and friends. However, he did share his nikkah picture with the caption: “Teri chaiye ni raaye | Real hai.”

Fans flooded social media with warm wishes and heartfelt messages. One user wrote, “He has seen a lot of gorgeous and glamorous ladies out there who would marry him! But he definitely preferred character, respect, simplicity, and loyalty, things those girls won’t offer. A big message to the ladies out there who would cry at Hasan Raheem, that he has chosen the pure heart over glitter!” ❤❤

Another commented, “MashaALLAH, congratulations ” while one fan added, “Congratulations!! You kinda captured my whole feed. Loved your dances stay blessed ”

One admirer praised how the couple proudly represented their culture, adding that Hasan Raheem and his bride showed the world that beauty also lies in traditions outside of Punjabi culture. They also highlighted how Noor was completely herself and deeply loved, saying that “every woman deserves that.”

Hasan Raheem’s wedding also turned into a star-studded celebration, with Momina Mustehsan, Ahmed Ali Akbar, and Ameer Gilani among the guests.

Earlier this week, wedding snippets began circulating online, but many users doubted their authenticity. Social media users suggested that the singer might be “creating drama about his wedding” again, since he had joked about marriage before.

In the past, Hasan Raheem had shared a still from one of his songs, calling it his “wedding picture” and even asking the media “not to post it.” He later clarified that it was not his real wedding but simply a promotional shot from the video.

Because of this history, many assumed he was joking again. However, when pictures of well-known personalities attending the ceremony surfaced, fans were certain that Hasan Raheem had indeed gotten married.

Senior actress Marina Khan faced strong criticism from social media users for her apparent ignorance during the TV program Kya Drama Hai.

During the show, where actors were asked to share their views on dramas and real-life events, senior actress Atiqa Odho mentioned Humaira Asghar as an example. In response, Marina Khan casually asked: “Who is Humaira Asghar?”

The panel was initially discussing a scene from the drama Main Manto Nahi Hoon where a university student named Ifrah lives alone after leaving her family. She rents an apartment, has very little contact with her family, maybe once or twice a year, and then suddenly disappears. Nobody knows if she is alive or dead. The panel compared this storyline to the real-life case of Humaira Asghar.

At this point, Marina Khan asked again: “Who is Humaira Asghar,” to which Atiqa Odho explained that Humaira Asghar was the actress whose body was discovered in a flat in Defence Phase 6 several months after her death. 

Nadia Khan also remarked that the similarity was “strange” but clarified that the drama being referenced was written long before Humaira Asghar’s case came to light.

Atiqa then shifted the conversation to a character played by Azaan Sami Khan in another drama and asked for opinions on his role. Nadia compared the role to the Noor Muqaddam case. At this point, Marina Khan once again asked: “Who is Noor Muqaddam?”

As soon as the clip went viral, social media users harshly criticized Marina Khan. Many labeled her “insensitive” and “reckless,” while one user sarcastically commented that she should get herself checked for dementia.

Earlier, on July 8, actress Humaira Asghar’s body was found in a flat in the Ittehad Commercial Area, Defence. The discovery was made after a bailiff arrived to recover rent during court proceedings. Her body was found in the final stage of decomposition, and doctors stated that she had died about 8 to 10 months earlier.

As for  Noor Muqaddam, the 27-year-old was brutally murdered in July 2021 at a private residence in Islamabad’s Sector F-7/4. The prime suspect, Zahir Jaffer, was arrested at the crime scene, while Noor’s father filed an FIR the same day. Reports confirmed she was killed with a sharp weapon and beheaded.

The case sparked nationwide outrage and fueled debates about women’s safety in Pakistan.

In May 2025, the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence, confirming that he will remain on death row. He is now seeking a presidential pardon, while jail officials have requested a medical board to assess his condition. So far, he has been declared mentally and psychologically fit, with no signs of illness or brain disorder.

After Hasan Raheem, Maanu has also started a new chapter of his life, tying the knot with his long-time love.

Renowned stylist Tariq Amin shared glimpses of the wedding, where the bride wore a traditional red dress and the groom chose a classic black sherwani.

Maanu, known for his mellow, hip-hop-inspired sound, rose to global fame with his Coke Studio 2024 hit Jhol, a collaboration with Annural Khalid that resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. The song was not only a hit in Pakistan but also globally, setting several records on YouTube and Spotify.

Earlier this month, in August 2025, he released his debut full-length album, featuring 13 tracks.
