Actor Muneeb Butt has expressed deep sorrow and regret over the brutal murder of members of the Sabri Qawwal family and strongly criticized human rights activists and social leaders.

In a video statement shared on social media, Muneeb Butt said, “The brutality with which members of the Sabri family were targeted is not only unbearable but also the worst example of cruelty against humanity.”

He questioned, “Where are all those voices on such tragedies, those human rights organizations and social activists who raise their voices even when terrorists are killed?”

The actor stressed that speaking up for the oppressed should not be selective. “Raising your voice in favor of the oppressed should not be only for specific situations or purposes, but it should be spoken on every occasion when the sanctity of human lives is violated,” he said.

Muneeb Butt added, “Three members of the Sabri Qawwal family were killed. What will happen to their families? They were also artists from Karachi like us, who were going to perform to share love.”

He demanded, “There should be a transparent investigation into the incident, and the culprits should be punished severely so that no artist or common citizen is subjected to such cruelty in the future.”

The video statement is going viral on social media, and a large number of users have expressed support for Muneeb Butt’s demands.

The incident he was referring to took place earlier this week in Balochistan.

At least three members of a Qawwali group from Karachi were martyred, while seven others were injured in a gun attack on a passenger coach near Niemurgh Cross in the Kalat district. They were en route to Quetta to perform at a cultural event when unidentified gunmen opened fire on their vehicle.

Media reports citing local officials and the provincial government spokesperson confirmed the attack, blaming it on Fitna al-Hindustan, a proxy group allegedly backed by India, which has been involved in multiple such attacks in the region.

Chung police have solved the mystery behind the shooting at the residence of controversial YouTuber Rajab Butt and arrested the suspects involved in the attack.

According to reports citing police officials, the two shooters on the motorcycle have been identified as Kashif Chauhan and Farrukh. “They carried out the attack on the instructions of a man named Shani Tiger,” police said, citing the initial investigation.

Further investigation revealed that two more individuals, Usman and Luqman, were also present at the scene in a car and were involved in the plan.

According to Chung police, the motive behind the attack was a heated argument on social media between Rajab Butt and a young man named Shahzad Bhatti.

“Shahzad Bhatti contacted Shani Tiger and asked him to arrange the firing,” officials said. Shani then sent the attackers to the YouTuber’s residence.

Police launched an operation and arrested the suspects from different areas, including Valencia. The accused have been handed over to the Crime Control Department (CCD) for further investigation.

Actress Alizeh Shah has made explosive revelations about her experience in the entertainment industry, including her viral fall during a bridal fashion show featuring famous Pakistani singer Shazia Manzoor.

In a video statement shared on Instagram, Alizeh made a startling claim, saying, “My fall on the ramp wasn’t an accident. Shazia Manzoor kept grabbing and pushing me repeatedly, which made me lose balance.”

She added, “This behavior is a habit of hers. She’s done the same to Jannat Mirza before. Such actions can embarrass anyone, especially in a public setting.”

Alizeh also criticized host and actress Juggan Kazim for mocking the incident saying, “Instead of taking the matter seriously, Juggan Kazim made fun of my fall. That’s unprofessional.”

The actress stated she would no longer stay silent: “I won’t tolerate negativity and mistreatment anymore. I’ll keep speaking out against those who treat me unfairly.”

Her video quickly went viral, with fans appreciating her bravery and offering their support online.

In addition to the ramp incident, Alizeh Shah revealed disturbing details about a smear campaign allegedly run against her. “Money was spent to defame me, and a campaign was launched by paying social media pages,” she said.

Alizeh added that she has been mistreated on shooting sets but was told to remain silent.

“Later, allegations of vandalism and misbehavior were made against me. It was all part of a planned strategy,” she claimed.

“I never smoked in my makeup room, yet people accused me of it. Seniors and directors cast me and paid me for my work that doesn’t mean I have to tolerate everything,” she added.

Opening up about an uncomfortable incident, she said, “A senior actor threw his sweat on my face. When I spoke up, he took offense, as if I was supposed to treat his sweat like Zamzam water.”

Alizeh also talked about her struggles as a child artist, saying, “Seniors sit in air-conditioned rooms while we’re treated harshly. I faced a lot of difficulties growing up in this industry.”

Another major issue she highlighted was delayed payments, revealing: “People in the industry pay us three to four months after the project ends, and even then, only after repeatedly asking for it.”

She added, “It felt like they were giving me charity instead of my rightful compensation. That attitude is deeply hurtful.”

In the past, actors Yasir Nawaz, Zarnish Khan, and Naveed Raza had accused Alizeh Shah of being rude on set. However, Yasir Nawaz and Zarnish Khan later issued public apologies to her.

Indian actress and social media influencer Urfi Javed has opened up about getting her lip fillers removed, and her honesty is earning praise online.

In a recent Instagram video, Urfi revealed that she had her lip fillers dissolved after they “moved out of place.” The video, which showed her visibly swollen lips, quickly went viral and sparked widespread curiosity and discussion on social media.

In the caption, she wrote, “This is not a filter, I have had my fillers removed because they were too damaged. I will get my fillers applied again, but in a natural way.”

Urfi described the removal process as “painful” and urged her followers to consult professionals for cosmetic procedures.

“It is very important that you go to a good doctor,” she advised.

The video quickly went viral, with many users applauding Urfi for being transparent about a topic most celebrities avoid discussing. Fans appreciated her courage, noting that many actors undergo such treatments but rarely admit it publicly or post about the process.

Commenting on the medical side, Dr. Rashmi Sharma, a dermatologist at Fortis Hospital, Delhi, explained, “If the filler is removed by an experienced doctor, it’s not very painful.”

She added, “Lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. To dissolve them, we use an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is safe and effective.”

Actor Faizan Khawaja has opened up about the financial and mental challenges he faced in the entertainment industry, revealing that if his father had not been part of the entertainment world, he might have contemplated suicide during the most difficult phase of his career.

He posted a series of videos on his official Instagram account, openly talking about the unprofessional behaviour and payment delays that artists face.

In one of the most heartfelt moments, he said, “If my father Rashid Khawaja wasn’t a part of this industry, I might have committed suicide at the peak of my career.”

In the video, Faizan clarified that he wasn’t trying to defame anyone, but was “simply speaking the truth about the industry.”

He claimed that even senior actors and directors like Mohammad Ahmed and Mehreen Jabbar are forced to chase production houses and producers for their rightful payments.

Sharing his experience, Faizan recalled, “I’ve been in situations where I had to follow up several times just to get paid for a commercial.”

He added that this issue doesn’t affect only him, noting that “there are so many hardworking actors who don’t get what they deserve.”

Faizan Khawaja also clarified that he hasn’t quit the entertainment industry. “I haven’t left acting. I’ve just stopped working with those who don’t pay on time,” he said.

He explained that he shared his experience not just for himself, but for all the “struggling actors whose livelihoods depend on showbiz and who are facing countless challenges in their careers.”

He concluded with a promise, saying, “In my next video, I will name the producer who didn’t pay me.”

Faizan Khawaja is the son of Rashid Khawaja, a respected actor and producer in the Pakistani entertainment industry.

Having acted in several dramas in the past, Faizan Khawaja has been away from TV for some time. He has now shed light on the serious issue of payment delays in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. His stand is being appreciated by fans and social media users, many of whom have expressed their desire to see him back on screen.

Actor Shamoon Abbasi has strongly responded to a statement said by late actress Humaira Asghar Ali’s mother, who blamed the people of Karachi for ignoring her daughter’s cries for help. 

In a recent interview on a local TV channel, Humaira’s parents spoke about her personal struggles and isolation, with her mother labeling the people of Karachi “insensitive” and “heartless.”

In anger, she declared, “I curse the people of Karachi,” claiming that although screams came from her daughter’s flat, no one knocked on the door or checked in, and instead, people continued with their leisure activities.

Her statement sparked widespread backlash on social media. Users questioned how the late actress’ parents could shift the blame to the public when they themselves appeared disconnected from their daughter’s condition, and even reportedly refused to claim her body initially.

Taking to his Instagram account, Shamoon Abbasi addressed the issue in a video message, saying, “We cannot imagine her parents’ pain, but as parents, it was their responsibility to take care of their daughter. When Humaira asked for help, her parents refused to help. When there was an uproar on social media, the brothers came to collect the body and their position also changed.”

He further remarked, “If financial circumstances did not permit, a relative or acquaintance from Lahore could have been sent to Karachi at a modest cost to check on the daughter’s well-being. The police could have also been approached for help. But the parents shrugged off the responsibility and blamed the citizens of Karachi.”

Shamoon added, “The relationship was with you, the daughter was yours, it was your and your family’s responsibility to take care of her, but you chose the easy way and started blaming others.”

He also revealed that during the time of crisis, several people from the showbiz industry and NGOs had come forward, ready to take responsibility for Humaira’s burial if her family continued to refuse.

“This was not just empty talk but proper arrangements were being made for it,” he said.

Shamoon concluded by saying, “We are also saddened by Humaira’s passing, but in this hour of grief, it is better to recognize our responsibilities than to blame others. Because the real responsibility of those who die alone lies with the family, not the entire city.”

Humaira Asghar ‘s decomposed body was found in a flat in Defence Phase 6, Karachi where she had been living alone in the rented apartment for the past seven years, after moving to Karachi from Lahore in 2018.

Her remains were discovered when a court bailiff arrived to vacate her flat on July 8, after the landlord filed a complaint over unpaid rent. When repeated knocks went unanswered, the bailiff broke the door open and found the 32-year-old actor’s body lying in a room, hidden away for months.

Initially, Karachi Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed estimated that Humaira had been dead for at least a month, based on the advanced stage of decomposition. However, investigators now believe her death occurred back in October 2024.

Her last Facebook post was shared on September 11, 2024, and her final Instagram update was on September 30. Phone records also show that her last dialled call was made in October 2024, after which her phone remained inactive.

Investigators discovered that her apartment’s electricity had been disconnected since October due to unpaid bills. The water pipes were dry and rusted, expired food was found in the kitchen, and there were no candles or backup lights present.

“There were rusted jars, dry pipes, and no signs of electricity or candles in her flat,” an investigator said. “One neighbor returned to the vacant apartment on the same floor in February but by then the smell had faded because the balcony door had been left open.”

Humaira Asghar Ali rose to fame after winning Veet Miss Super Model in 2014 and was known for her appearance in the reality show Tamasha Ghar in 2022. She also acted in popular dramas including Just Married, Ehsaan Faramosh, Guru and Chal Dil Mere, and appeared in films like Jalaibee (2015) and Love Vaccine (2021).

Police efforts to locate her family revealed that Humaira’s father had severed ties with her nearly two years ago and initially refused to come to Karachi to claim her body. However, her remains were eventually handed over to her family on July 11.

Actress Mehwish Hayat has responded to the viral trend of celebrities and social media personalities imitating Sahir Lodhi on social media, urging people to show kindness and respect.

In recent days, videos posted on Sahir Lodhi’s official social media accounts have gone viral, showing the TV host seemingly caught “unaware” while preparing for meetings. He has been widely mocked for the overly staged nature of the clips and his repetitive expressions.

As these videos gained popularity, social media users flooded them with humorous comments. Several well-known actors and social media personalities joined in by sharing light-hearted imitation videos of Sahir’s dramatic style. Among them are stars like Faisal Qureshi, Yasir Nawaz, and Aijaz Aslam.

What started as routine content quickly turned into meme material, with social media influencers and celebrities joining the trend. Notable actors Yasir Nawaz, Faisal Qureshi, and Aijaz Aslam also responded humorously to Lodhi’s videos, drawing massive attention from fans and internet users.

However, not everyone found the trend amusing. Actress Mehwish Hayat came to Sahir Lodhi’s defence, calling out those who mocked him and urging for more compassion.

“Every human being deserves basic respect,” Mehwish wrote on Instagram. “One should not abandon the rule of decency and gentleness while criticizing someone’s style.”

Mehwish wrote, “Sahir Lodhi is someone who’s worked consistently, shown up with passion, and built a name in an industry that’s not easy to survive in. It’s really not fair how some people make fun of him, often forgetting that he’s a human being with feelings, just like the rest of us.”

She further added, “You don’t have to agree with someone’s style or choices, but basic respect should never go out of fashion. Let’s normalize kindness, especially toward those who keep showing up, no matter what the world throws at them!”

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was recently injured while shooting for his upcoming film King and has since been moved to the United States for treatment.

According to Indian media, the incident took place on the film’s set in Mumbai during an intense action sequence, where Khan hurt his back. While the injury has not been reported to be serious, doctors have reportedly advised him to rest for at least a month to ensure a full recovery.

The production team has temporarily halted the filming of the movie. Industry insiders say this delay could increase the film’s overall budget, but the producers have decided to prioritise Shah Rukh Khan’s health over deadlines.

The scene was a high-energy stunt which Shah Rukh chose to perform himself. A close source was quoted as saying, “Shah Rukh Khan has been injured several times during the shoot, but he always returns to work quickly after recovery.”

In 2017, he injured his neck while shooting for Zero and underwent treatment in the US.

Filming for King began last year, with the film aiming for an early 2026 release. Originally set to be directed by story writer Sujoy Ghosh, the film is now being helmed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand.

Adding to the excitement, King will feature Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, in a story said to explore a strong father-daughter bond. Meanwhile, Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan is also set to play a key role, adding to the film’s star power.

Hania took to Instagram to celebrate the massive success and shared glimpses from a surprise celebration arranged for her. Dressed in a comfy white shirt and flaunting a natural no-makeup look, the actress looked truly overwhelmed with joy.

One of the highlights of her post was a room filled with colourful balloons and huge flower bouquets. 

Her fans filled the comments section with love and praise.

One user commented, “You truly deserve all the happiness!” Another wrote, “Mommy Gurlee, Sardar Ji 3 is a big achievement ❤ .” A third fan added, “The fit is so cute and you’re the CUTEST! Masha Allah!”

While the film has seen massive success in Pakistan and earned $6 million overseas, Sardaar Ji 3, part of the hit Punjabi comedy franchise, stars Diljit Dosanjh as the beloved Sardaar Ji and marks Hania Aamir’s big Punjabi film debut.

Directed by Rohit Jugraj and produced by White Hill Studios and Rhythm Boyz Entertainment, the film mixes romance, comedy, and light supernatural elements. It also features veteran actors Jaswinder Bhalla and BN Sharma, who add to the film’s charm.

Despite the unfortunate ban on its release in India following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, the film is gaining attention worldwide. The producers, along with Diljit Dosanjh, decided not to release it in India out of respect for public sentiment. However, this hasn’t stopped it from becoming a major success internationally.

Veteran actor Adnan Siddique has once again created buzz on social media with his latest Instagram post, a photo of himself dressed like a cowboy.

In the photo, Adnan is seen sitting on a bale of hay, wearing a black cowboy hat, red bandana, denim shirt, and leather shoes. But it’s not just the outfit that grabbed the attention of his fans, it’s the caption and the setting that had them guessing something big is coming.

Next to him is a wooden stand with signs that say Jail, Bank, Saloon, and Outhouse, giving strong western vibes.

In the caption, he wrote, “Leather’s worn, soul’s seasoned; still got a few surprises under this hat. Wanna take a wild guess?”

Fans quickly jumped to conclusions, believing it could be a teaser for Tamasha Season 4, a popular Pakistani reality show hosted by Adnan.

One fan commented, “Saloon… It’s ok, obviously it’s Tamasha, anything can happen.”

Another excited follower wrote, “Tamasha Tamasha yaa hooooo”

Someone else added, “We are waiting bruh!!”

There’s been no official confirmation yet from Adnan Siddique or ARY Digital about Tamasha 4. But this mysterious post has definitely stirred excitement among fans and left everyone guessing.
