Director Badar Mehmood shares how actress Hania Aamir and actor Emmad Irfani’s kindness and positive energy made working on Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum a joyful experience.
During his appearance as a guest on Fuchsia Magazine, Mehmood shared his experiences working closely with the two stars, highlighting their respectful nature and dedication to their craft.
“Hania brings a lot of positive energy, I’ve never seen her in a bad mood, and she never just goes through the motions in any scene. Working with her is genuinely enjoyable, and we’ve built a strong chemistry together,” he said.
“As I mentioned about Fahad, it’s the same with Hania. We’ve worked together so many times that when I say ‘cut,’ she immediately understands what needs to happen next”, Mehmood added.
Talking about Emmad Irfani, Badar described that he carries himself with “such elegance” off-camera that you can tell “he comes from a respectable background”. “He treats everyone with great respect, whether it’s the shoot’s driver or the spot boy. I’ve never seen anyone interact with others the way Emmad does.”
Badar also asserted that Emmad’s patience and gentlemanly nature earned admiration from cast members, including Hania and her younger sister. “Emmad truly is the most gentlemanly man in Pakistani shows. He has put a tremendous amount of effort into his acting and has done an excellent job. He delivered exactly what I expected from him,” Badar Mehmood added.
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum director also appreciated Naeema Butt saying, Naeema is a very dedicated actress who puts her heart and soul into her work.

Rubina Khanum, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, lambasted Zulfi Bukhari over his recent role in marketing Khan’s campaign for the election of Oxford University Chancellor.
In a viral video, Rubina Khanum stated that Bukhari, former Special Assistant to Khan, is not educated and that he believes having an Oxford University Chancellor from Pakistan is a big deal.
“Zulfi Bukhari had dragged Imran Khan into the chancellor candidacy race for self-interest,” she said.
“Imran Khan is in jail; what interest does he have in becoming Oxford University’s chancellor?” Rubina Khanum questioned.
Zulfi Bukhari, a close aide of the PTI, had been active in campaigning for the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan for the Oxford University Chancellorship until Khan was blocked by the university administration.
On October 16, former PM Imran Khan was expelled from the Oxford chancellorship race.
Citing the reason for Khan’s ineligibility to run for the Chancellorship election, journalist Murtaza Ali Shah, two weeks ago, disclosed that a convicted person cannot become the University chancellor since he has been convicted in the Tosha Khana case.
“A chancellor candidate shouldn’t be a member of a legislative assembly. Although currently, Imran Khan is not a lawmaker, there is the possibility of his premiership in future, on which the University has reservations,” he maintained.
Following the expulsion of Khan’s candidacy from the Oxford University Chancellor race, Zulfi Bukhari alleged that the Pakistani government had pressured the university administration to remove Khan from the race.
“The Oxford University made a very narrow-minded and pressured decision to block Imran Khan. The decision came as a big disappointment because Pakistan wanted Imran Khan to run in the Oxford University chancellor election. People from India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and many other Islamic countries wanted Imran Khan to take part,” Bukhari told a private news channel.
The first round of the Oxford University Chancellor elections has been completed, and the top five candidates have advanced to the second round.
The second round of voting will begin on November 18, and the new Chancellor will be officially announced on November 25. The new Chancellor will hold the position for a decade.
Spectators watched as the televised auction of the flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), failed horribly. The government seemed interested in selling PIA for the right price but did not approve the sale when the sole bid was off by 88.2 per cent of the original value.
The reason for only one bid is the government’s condition for the purchasing entity to inject over half a billion dollars into PIA to modernise the fleet. Five business owners out of the six companies selected for the auction process decided to opt out due to this additional investment that they would have to finance after the purchase of PIA itself.
The government was expecting to receive a total of $305 million but managed to get only a reality check. In hindsight, the goal of privatising the national carrier to companies via auction was a bad idea.
If lawmakers in Islamabad aim to make the sale, it will have to explore other avenues.
The auction process could be expanded to include more local businesses and international players, too. As it stands, this seems viable as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar have all expressed great interest in purchasing PIA in the recent past.
Additionally, these investors in the Gulf also have the financial capability to undertake the massive $700 million fleet modernisation plan once they acquire PIA. This would be a good way for Pakistan to secure FDI (Foreign direct investment) inflows of over one billion dollars.
Alternatively, the government could opt for a simple solution. This could be issuing more shares to be traded on the PSX (Pakistan Stock Exchange). However, this will spell bad news for investors who already have their money parked in the publicly traded PIA holding company. This is because the value of their shares will be reduced due to the dilution of ownership that will occur post-share issuance.
In simple words, the creation of new shares will cause investors to lose out due to more overall shares being traded on the PSX. This is especially true if we consider the fact that Islamabad is currently interested in selling around 60 per cent of PIA.
In this approach, shareholders, in collaboration with the government, could use the funds raised by the sale of shares to modernise the fleet without extensive international investments.
However, as it stands, PIA is a loss-making institution.
With last year’s loss of 75 billion rupees, PIA’s liabilities grew to a staggering 825 billion rupees. If the government retains a majority of the share while raising capital by issuing shares, investors could actually lose out instead. This is because civil servants can simply not run a company with the same efficiency businessmen can.
If investors believe that the government will not commit to running PIA as a profit-maximising business rather than the national carrier, they may not put their money into it to begin with.
The question remains: Which entity will purchase PIA from the government? The answer, while currently uncertain, will be sought by suits in Islamabad’s boardrooms.
Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has incited violence against Muslims in India, threatening to “chop them up” and burying them in the ground.
As per the details, a viral video of his address at a political rally in West Bengal showed him responding to a statement made by opposition member Humayun Kabir ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus [and] that he will ‘cut’ and throw them in the Bhagirathi [River]… I thought the chief minister [Mamata Banerjee] would say something. She didn’t… so now I am saying, we will chop them [up] and bury them in the ground,” the BJP leader can be heard as saying while addressing a ceremony to kick-off BJP’s membership drive in West Bengal.
“I am not the chief minister… but I am saying this,” he said, adding that his party would do anything to win the “throne” of Bengal. “It will belong to the BJP after the 2026 assembly election.”
“I am saying it again and again… we will do anything… anything. I am saying this with Home Minister Amit Shah Ji sitting here — we will do anything,” Chakraborty asserted.
“I say we will cut you up and throw you, not in the Bhagirathi because that is our mother, but we will throw you in the ground,” he threatened in response to Humayun Kabir’s pre-election comment.
“You are 30 per cent [of the people here] but we are 70 per cent… if you think you can demolish mosques and Muslims will sit back and relax… [you are wrong]. I will leave politics if I don’t drown you people in the Bhagirathi within two hours, I will leave politics. I will not let you guys stay in Shaktipur,” Kabir had said.
Notably, the opposition member was reprimanded by the Indian Election Commission over his remarks.
Mithun Chakraborty, however, relentlessly accused the Bengal state government of not allowing the Hindu community to cast votes.
The 74-year-old actor has also served as a member of the Upper House of the parliament, the Rajya Sabha, for which he was nominated by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He resigned from Banarjee’s All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 2016 and later joined the BJP.

Actress and stage artist Nargis was allegedly tortured by her husband over a monetary dispute.

Nargis, who married Inspector Majid Bashir a few years ago, now runs a beauty salon after having stepped away from the entertainment industry.
“No application has been received from Nargis’s family so far; if we receive a complaint, action will be taken according to the law,” police said.

In the viral video, the woman was seen claiming to be the mother of the alleged rape victim and related gruesome details of the incident which all turned out to be false as the case was declared to be a manifestation of disinformation.

American singer Selena Gomez is trending online after a video surfaced where an Indian fan requested her to chant “Jai Shri Ram.”
Photographer Pallav Paliwal shared the video on Instagram, sparking mixed reactions from social media users with many finding the moment “embarrassing.”
In the clip, the fan asks Selena to say “Jai Shree Ram” to mark Diwali 2024. The chant is a traditional Hindu phrase meaning “Victory to Lord Ram.” Selena, appearing slightly confused, simply smiles and replies, “Thank you, honey,” instead of repeating the chant.
The video has received critical comments. A user wrote, “I feel embarrassed for him,” and a Hindu commenter remarked, “I’m Hindu, and this is embarrassing.” Another added, “You chose to make her say, Jai Shri Ram. bro, you wasted your chance.”
The clip appears to have been shot at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where Selena attended and won the award for Best Actress for Emilia Pérez. Gomez was recently back as Alex Russo when Disney rebooted its Wizards of Waverly Place on October 29, 2024.
Earlier, Selena Gomez got into trouble after posting an innocuous picture on Instagram.
In the picture, there was a Starbucks coffee cup in the background. People got really mad at her because she not only bought coffee from Starbucks but also showed it off on her platform. This upset people because there’s a global boycott against brands connected to or supporting Israel, and Starbucks is one of them.
But some fans got upset, as Starbucks had been boycotted by supporters of the Palestinian cause and labour unions alike. One person criticized her for not knowing about the campaign against Israel called Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).
People who support the BDS campaign are asking others to stop supporting Starbucks as Israel continues genocide in Gaza. One fan commented, “She really deserves all the hate she can’t be that stupid,” saying that Selena Gomez can’t really be unaware that Starbucks is connected to Israel’s controversial apartheid of Palestinians.
In reply, the singer directly addressed the criticism. She admitted she didn’t know about the issue and said sorry if she upset anyone. She responded to the comment, saying, “I did not know. So apparently I am that stupid. I’m sorry.” The criticism shows how much the BDS movement is growing. They want companies and people stop supporting Israel because of the conflict with Palestine.
After Israel started a military operation on October 7, which led to the deaths of many Palestinians, people criticized Gomez for not showing support.
When she said that one post wouldn’t make a difference, she faced a lot of criticism. Then, her makeup brand’s Instagram page posted about the crisis in Gaza and said they wanted to help. They also shared the donations they made to organizations like the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies – Magen David Adom and Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
However, one X user pointed out how Gomez was still “both siding” the situation, especially given that Magen David Adom is Israel’s National Emergency Pre-Hospital Medical and Blood Services Organization.
“She’s donating to Magen David Adom who support the IDF and the killing of Palestinian kids,” said the user of the site formerly known as Twitter. “This is a ‘both sides’ post. Why are you donating to MDA which is literally supporting the IDF? Supporting both sides is not activism.”
