    This famous actress has never cooked for her husband

    Its time to retire the old adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Plenty of women don’t have the time to cook, and that’s perfectly ok too.

    In a surprising revelation on the ‘A Plus’ Eid special show, popular actress Zara Noor Abbas shared that she has never cooked for her husband. During the show, she opened up about her aversion to handling meat and limited cooking experiences, giving fans an unexpected glimpse into her personal life.


    Zara candidly admitted, “I have never touched meat. I don’t even go near it, I don’t prepare it at all. Nowadays, I am in Lahore and I have been enjoying Eid and guests, but I haven’t been to the kitchen. I don’t cook normally; my husband always requests me to cook something. Well, now I am thinking of cooking namkeen gosht for him. Asad and all his brothers are meat lovers, that’s why I chose this dish.”

    French authorities said they have charged two teenagers with the gang rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a Paris suburb in an attack suspected to have been motivated by anti-Semitism.

    The violence has sent shockwaves through the Jewish community and added to tensions in the run-up to a snap election that could bring the far-right National Rally to power for the first time.

    The girl told police she was approached by three boys aged between 12 and 13 while she was in a park near her home with a friend and dragged into a shed on Saturday evening in the northwestern suburb of Courbevoie.

    The suspects beat her and “forced her to have anal and vaginal penetration, fellatio, while uttering death threats and anti-Semitic remarks,” a police source told AFP.

    Her friend managed to identify two of the attackers.

    The three boys were arrested on Monday.

    On Tuesday evening, two of them both aged 13 were charged with gang rape, anti-Semitic insults and violence and issuing death threats. The pair were taken into custody.

    The third boy, 12, was also charged with anti-Semitic insults and violence and issuing death threats, but not with rape. He was allowed return home after being charged.

    Who has not had a bad day in school? Sometimes we forgot to do our homework, other days we wore accessories with uniforms and many times we got bad marks in exams. We have all been there, celebrities included. Actress and model Hania Aamir recently appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat’ where she revealed that she got suspended for 10 days for a uniform violation, while heartthrob Imran Ashraf was suspended for climbing his hostel’s wall. Imran Ashraf and Hania Aamir are classmates.

    When Imran was Hania’s senior in school, they both attended the same Abbottabad school. Hania Amir said, “I was suspended because I wasn’t following the school uniform policy,” while Imran Ashraf got in trouble for sneaking out at night. “I broke curfew and climbed the hostel wall, and got caught by the authorities,” he laughingly said. It’s good to know that all of us were rebels in schools.
