Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has become a hot topic across Indian media following the release of the trailer for the upcoming Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3 earlier this week.

While some outlets have criticised her appearance in the film, citing recent tensions between Pakistan and India, others have praised her acting skills and growing popularity across South Asia.

Indian entertainment portal Bollywood Life recently published an article highlighting Hania Aamir’s growing fame. According to the report, she is not only famous in Pakistan but is also widely followed in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and other regional countries. The article noted that Hania’s Instagram following surpasses that of any other Pakistani celebrity, and her posts are popular across South Asia.

The report also shed light on her lifestyle, claiming that Hania leads a luxurious life, wears expensive clothes, and owns multiple Audi vehicles. It estimated her annual income to be around 43 crore rupees earned from acting and the rest through brand endorsements and advertising deals.

Bollywood Life further stated that she is one of the most sought-after TV actresses and reportedly charges up to 4 lakh rupees per drama episode.

The article, however, did not reveal how much she was paid for Sardaar Ji 3. The trailer, released earlier this week, has garnered a large viewership.

Waqar Nawaz, brother of renowned actor-directors Yasir Nawaz and Danish Nawaz, has passed away.

Yasir Nawaz shared the heartbreaking news early Tuesday morning through his Instagram Stories.

“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. With deep sorrow, we share that our beloved and caring brother Waqar Nawaz has passed away,” Yasir wrote.

While he did not disclose the cause of death, Yasir announced that the funeral prayer (Janazah) was to be held on June 24 (today) after Zuhr prayers at 1:30 PM at Rehmania Masjid, Tariq Road, Karachi.

“May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous, and give patience and strength to his family Ameen,” he added. “We kindly request you to remember him in your duas. Ameen.”

Waqar Nawaz was one of four siblings, alongside his brothers Yasir, Danish, and Dr. Faraz Nawaz. The family also has a sister, Anzalna. Their father, Fareed Nawaz Baloch, was a respected and veteran actor in Pakistani television.

Fans and fellow celebrities have extended their condolences and prayers to the Nawaz family during this difficult time.

Actress Dananeer Mobeen and actor Ahad Raza Mir were recently spotted together at a wedding, once again sparking speculation about their relationship, and sending the internet into a dizzying spiral of rumours. This time, social media users reacted with a mix of excitement, humor, and curiosity.

The duo, who won hearts with their chemistry in the drama Meem Se Mohabbat, played an on-screen couple who got married in the show. Their convincing emotional bond led fans to believe something might be brewing off-screen as well.

After the drama’s success, both stars were seen together at various times. Adding more fuel to the rumors, Dananeer has often been spotted with Ahad’s mother, further intensifying fan curiosity.

At this latest event- believed to be Ahad’s cousin’s wedding- Dananeer appeared with her own family alongside Ahad’s mother. Meanwhile, Ahad was seen performing an energetic bhangra, with fans appreciating his moves.

As photos and videos from the wedding surfaced online, users began speculating once again. One user wrote, “Ahad Raza Mir likes whichever actress he works with, and then that actress starts appearing with his mother too.”

Another cheekily added, “It seems Ahad Raza Mir was dancing so enthusiastically only because of the presence of Dananeer!”

The internet had more to say. One fan asked, “So is the new daughter-in-law confirmed?”

Another commented, “Where is Ramsha,” and one more wrote, “He likes everyone he works with, and then his mom chooses them to be the next daughter-in-law.”

While neither Ahad nor Dananeer has commented on the rumors, fans are closely following their appearances, wondering once again if their reel-life romance is turning into real-life love.

With just a few days left before its global release, the highly anticipated Sardaar Ji 3 is hogging all the spotlight thanks to the release of superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s new music video ‘Sohni Lagdi’, featuring Pakistani heartthrob Hania Aamir in the lead role  

The video, shot across stunning locations in the United Kingdom, shows Hania donning various elegant saris, each one more striking than the last, as Dosanjh follows through mountaintops, castles and gorgeous landscapes. 

The song begins with Diljit reciting poetry, setting a soulful tone before launching into a chorus that fans are calling “catchy, memorable, and classic Diljit.” The lyrics are penned by Zafar Sandhu, with music composed by Mix Singh.

The visual chemistry between Diljit and Hania has captured the hearts of fans, many of whom are now even more eager to see Hania’s full role in the movie. In the video, she is seen in a traditional saree, while Dosanjh complements her look in classic Punjabi attire together, they paint a vibrant, romantic picture.

Netizens flooded the internet with admiration for the pair, with comments such as, “Hania and Diljit <3 Dil hi jeet liya <3”

“Hania and Diljit ❤ Beyond the boundaries. Beyond the hatred.”

Even celebrities couldn’t hold back their love. Actress Yashma Gill commented, “I love you. Tenu jina jina dekhai uni sohni lagdi,” while Mehwish Hayat praised Hania saying, “Ay hui na gal.”

The release of ‘Sohni Lagdi’ is being seen by many as a bold statement. Despite rising online criticism and FWICE’s call for a boycott due to Hania’s involvement, Dosanjh and the filmmakers have stood firm, showing clear support for the Pakistani actress.

While the film has faced backlash from some Indian netizens, many fans from both India and Pakistan have applauded the film’s message of artistic unity and cultural collaboration, with Hania Aamir becoming a symbol of that stance.

With only three days left until the film’s release on June 27, excitement is building, and fans can’t wait to see this dynamic duo light up the screen.

ARY Digital’s hit drama Parwarish continues to captivate viewers and the latest episode has taken the internet by storm thanks to a powerful moment between siblings Amal and Sameer.

In a standout scene towards the end of the episode, Amal finally opens up to her brother about her feelings for Wali. Sameer, already observant of her behavior, gently asks, “Do you like him?”

This small but heartfelt exchange left fans emotional, praising the show for portraying a supportive brother instead of the usual angry and aggressive sibling trope often seen in Pakistani dramas.

Sameer’s witty personality further won audiences over when he became a much-needed comic relief during tense scenes. His humorous interaction with Wali, especially checking up on him after he ran away from home, was both hilarious and heartwarming.

Meanwhile, Amal’s character is also breaking stereotypes. Instead of being portrayed as manipulative or negative for having one-sided feelings, she’s shown as sincere and emotionally aware. 

Viewers appreciated that writers gave her depth and dignity. In one touching scene, she says: “He only remembers me when he has some new problem. I still like him. I still protect him. I still find answers to his problems.”

One fan’s comment summed up the audience’s response perfectly, “Amal has one-sided feelings, yes, but she was never toxic about it. And I love that the show let her realize Wali isn’t right for her, without making it all about competition. Girls aren’t rehab centers. She deserves someone who chooses her without needing to be ‘fixed’. This kind of maturity is so rare in dramas.”

As for Wali, his storyline took another unexpected twist. He accepts an invitation from a mysterious stranger who oddly had been sleeping on the street despite owning a house. The man’s cryptic words left fans questioning what’s really going on as Wali enters a strange new environment.

The drama also delivered an uplifting moment through Maya, who confidently tells her parents she will return to university and sit her exams. When her father hesitantly expresses concern about what others might say, she replies, “That’s what’s happening at home already.”

Her father can’t help but laugh at her boldness a subtle, heartwarming scene that left a smile on viewers’ faces.

In contrast, the show also paints a more realistic picture of dysfunctional family dynamics. A tense scene between Sameer and Amal’s parents shows their father disrespecting their mother and claiming he alone knows what’s best. This realistic depiction of varying family dynamics is another reason Parwarish resonates so strongly with audiences.

With growing suspense, depth, and powerful emotional beats, Parvarish is not just winning hearts in Pakistan but has now gripped fans across India and Bangladesh as well.

The much-anticipated film Sardaar Ji 3, featuring Indian star Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, has sparked major controversy in India.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has announced a complete boycott of the film, and the trailer has already been blocked on YouTube India. While the trailer excited fans with its comic and fantasy-packed scenes, Hania Aamir’s presence has triggered strong backlash.

Amid rising political tensions between Pakistan and India, FWICE has called for a total ban on Diljit Dosanjh’s current and future projects and has appealed to ban the film’s producers as well.

FWICE President BN Tiwari, in an interview with Hindustan Times, stated, “Diljit Dosanjh has hurt the sentiments of the Indian people by working with a Pakistani actress and insulted the sacrifices of our brave soldiers. At a time when the country is going through sensitive situations, his preference for a Pakistani artist raises questions about his loyalty.”

In response to the uproar and anticipated protests, the makers of Sardar Ji 3 have decided to release the film only overseas, completely skipping the Indian market. While the trailer has been geo-blocked on YouTube India but remains available on Diljit Dosanjh’s official Instagram account.

The trailer release also shuts down rumours circulating earlier that Hania Aamir had been removed from the film. In fact, the trailer features her in a lead role as a ghostbuster. On her Instagram, Hania shared the trailer and wrote, “Main taa darr gai.”

The film comes after a tense phase between Pakistan and India following the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), in which more than 26 civilians were killed. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting areas inside Pakistan and martyring over 31 civilians. Pakistan responded with a powerful counterstrike, hitting several Indian military bases and shooting down seven Indian jets, including four Rafales. After Pakistan’s strong and swift retaliation, India, which had initially taken an aggressive stance, was compelled to return to the ceasefire table.

Rajab Butt’s decision to withdraw his interim bail application marked a turning point in a rape case being heard at the Sessions Court Lahore.

The interim bail applications of Rajab Butt, Salman Haider, and others were heard by Additional Sessions Judge Syed Najaf Haider Kazmi. Advocate Mian Ali Ashfaq represented Rajab Butt during the hearing.

The investigating officer told the court, “The three suspects, including Rajab Butt, are not guilty in the investigation.” Following the statement, Rajab Butt withdrew his interim bail application.

Meanwhile, the court extended the interim bail of co-accused Salman Haider until July 3.

The case was registered at Nawab Town Police Station.

An FIR had been filed against YouTuber Rajab Butt and his cousin Salman Haider on _________.  While Haider was accused of rape, blackmail, and unlawful confinement, Rajab Butt was named as an accomplice for allegedly helping detain the complainant and her sister.

 
According to the FIR lodged by social media activist Ayesha Sharafat at Nawab Town Police Station, she met Salman Haider through social media. They often met in public until August 16, 2024, when she was invited to his residence in Bahria Orchard.

 
“Salman called me at 7 PM on August 16, 2024, and invited me to his house in Bahria Orchard. Due to trust, I agreed,” she stated in the FIR.

 
She further claimed, “He gave me juice that had been mixed with an intoxicating substance. After consuming it, I lost consciousness. When I regained awareness, I realized I had been raped; my shirt buttons were open.”

 “Fearing social stigma, I remained silent and did not inform my family,” she added.

 
She went on to allege that, “Later, Salman contacted me again. When I refused to meet him, he began blackmailing me using an explicit video he had secretly filmed without my consent.”

 
“He also sent that video to my sister, Palwasha, which prompted both of us to confront him at his residence.”

 
According to the FIR, “We went to Salman’s house to stop him, but once there, Rajab Butt, Man Dogar, Jawad Haider, and Jahangir Butt, who were present with Salman, locked us in a room.”

 “Jawad Haider snatched our mobile phones, reset them, and then threatened us before throwing us out.”

 
Back in May, a video allegedly showing Rajab Butt and his associates assaulting a young man went viral. The victim later filed a complaint at Satu Katla Police Station, but Butt apologised and claimed it was a misunderstanding. The victim accepted the apology, and both parties reconciled, resulting in the withdrawal of the legal request.

Star of PTV’s golden era Ayesha Khan was discovered dead in a Karachi apartment at the age of 76 last week, but what shocked the public most was the silence and isolation the actress lived in during her final days.

Her last rites were performed quietly, with neither the media informed about the time and place, nor any celebrity in attendance. 

In fact, nobody knows exactly when the star slipped away from the world, with her body being discovered only after the smell of decomposition emanating from her apartment prompted her neighbours to complain. 

The police then shifted her body to Edhi morgue.

YouTuber Farah Iqrar released a video in which she shared emotional details about the burial of the iconic actress. Showing a picture of her unmarked grave, she said, “Goodbye Ayesha Khan, goodbye.”

She explained that Ayesha Khan was buried near her father’s grave in Sakhi Hassan graveyard, and that the burial rites were carried out in complete silence.

According to Farah Iqrar, Ayesha Khan’s sons refused to authorise an autopsy, telling police that, “It was a natural death, and only the final rites should be performed.”

After that, the body was taken from the Edhi morgue to Sakhi Hassan, where the funeral prayers were quietly offered in the graveyard mosque and the burial took place shortly after.

Farah added, “The media could get very little information about the funeral. Only a few media representatives came to know about it.”

She also revealed, “No showbiz personality attended Ayesha Khan’s funeral because no one was informed. Everything was done very quietly and privately.”

Sharing more about the actress’s final days, Farah said, “Ayesha Khan was a well-mannered and sociable woman, but towards the end of her life, she became isolated. She had a fractured foot and was deeply depressed.”
