    VIDEO: Renowned designer Maria B’s husband reportedly arrested for ‘criminal negligence’

    Renowned fashion designer Maria B’s husband was reportedly arrested for criminal negligence after the family allowed their house help to travel back home despite being tested positive for COVID-19.

    According to a video of a teary-eyed Maria doing the rounds on social media, which is “an appeal to Prime Minister Imran Khan”, the Punjab Police burst into their house at midnight, arrested her husband and registered an FIR against him for contracting the coronavirus.

    “They arrested him without a lawyer. They didn’t even let a lawyer come,” she said, adding that the police were rude to them and referred to them as culprits.

    “Why [are we culprits],” she questioned. “We are the ones who are suffering. We are the ones whose tests are coming. Anytime positive. My entire family. And we are the ones who have to be arrested? Is this the system?”

    A picture of her husband behind bars is also doing the rounds on social media.

    However, according to the spokesman of the Lahore Police, the designer’s husband was arrested for allowing their cook, who had tested positive for coronavirus, to go back to his village via public transport. They hid the fact that he had the coronavirus which is why the police arrested him.

  • WATCH: Shaan’s spy-thriller ‘Zarrar’s’ high-octane trailer

    WATCH: Shaan’s spy-thriller ‘Zarrar’s’ high-octane trailer

    While a release date for Shaan’s upcoming spy thriller Zarrar has still not been announced, we know the film will be hitting the screens soon because the trailer for the film has dropped.

    The three and a half-minute trailer boasts action-packed scenes which have been brilliantly shot and produced. The cinematography is top-notch and we’re pretty sure it’ll be a treat to watch on the big screen.

    The trailer introduces Shaan as a special ISI-agent. We have to add here that Shaan looks suave as ever – the man hasn’t aged a day since Waar. The film is reportedly based on true events and captures fifth generation warfare and other threats that should be highlighted in mainstream media but are ignored. It has been written and directed by Shaan and also features Kiran Malik, Nadeem Baig and Adnan Butt among others.

    In an earlier interview while speaking about the film, Shaan had shared that “Zarrar is an action-drama which shows the current circumstances of the country.”

    He added that Zarrar, his character, is a patriotic man who loves his country and wants to eliminate those elements which facilitate terrorists and terrorism in the country.

    “It’s like a Bond film with a true story. Not a fauji sort like we have been seeing on our screens in past. It’s not like Waar or Yalghar. It’s a new breed of a spy thriller action genre, and we are planning sequels and prequel to the film in the future if things go well,” Shaan had further shared.

To commemorate the day, Mehwish decided to relive the moment and shared a short video of herself receiving the award from President Dr Arif Alvi.

    Describing the moment as life-changing, Mehwish said that she President Alvi’s words, telling her that he is proud of her, still ring in her head. Mehwish added that the past year has made her stronger and that she shoulders the responsibility that comes with the honour.

  • Feroze Khan criticises Khalil ur Rehman Qamar for being arrogant

    Feroze Khan, who recently announced that he will be quitting the entertainment industry, appeared on Waseem Badami’s show and criticised Meray Paas Tum Ho writer, Khalilur Rehman Qamar for being too arrogant.

    “I am not a very big fan of Khalil Sahab because I think he is very arrogant,” said Feroze. “He has said some inappropriate words for my mentors, or in human capacity, that I have turned such kings into beggars. It doesn’t suit any person to say such things.”

    He also revealed why he was not considered for the role of Danish in Meray Paas Tum Ho.

    The Khaani actor told that he couldn’t be a part of the project due to money issues. “I lost the show because I asked to be paid.”

    When the host Waseem Badami asked how much did Humayun Saeed earn then, Feroze replied: “I am not sure to what extent it suited Humayun to cast me in his production – that angle I am not aware of, but I do think Khalil sahib didn’t like the idea of an actor demanding money for performing on a script written by him.”

    Humayun had earlier revealed that the role of ‘Danish‘ in MPTH was meant to be played by Adeel Hussain and then Feroze Khan. Yet both actors did not play the role, leaving it for Humayun.

    Talking about the actor’s decision to quit showbiz, Khan said that he’s completely satisfied with his decision.
