    Hania Aamir has awesome comeback for a fan who teased her

    Hania Aamir recently handled a fan’s teasing on Instagram with a quick and cheeky reply, earning more laughs than backlash.

    A fan asked under her latest post, “Asim ka gana ni lagaya?” [“You didn’t play Asim’s song?”]

    Hania responded sharply, “tum log yaind daalna shuru kr dete ho,” hinting that fans start unnecessary chaos.

    Her short, on-brand reply quickly turned into a funny mini-event in the comment section. 

    Followers flooded her with laughing emojis and playful messages like “hahaha slayed it girl!” and “kamaal kr diya kya reply dia hai.”

    The moment stood out not for drama but for tone. Hania’s reply was witty and half-serious, a reminder that social media is not a referendum on music choices.

    Fans have been watching closely since Hania and Asim Ali, who broke up in 2020, were seen in renewed proximity. 

    Asim’s new album features tracks and teasers that some fans believe hint at their shared past.

    A few days ago, Hania posted a reel using Asim’s track “U Got This,” sparking more speculation about a possible reconciliation. 

    Observers also noted small coincidences like similar accessories or styles posted separately by both.

    For now, Hania’s comment serves as a spicy, playful warning to fans that “Don’t start the yaind.”

  • Glenn Maxwell confirms he will skip IPL auction after Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali move to PSL

    Glenn Maxwell confirms he will skip IPL auction after Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali move to PSL

    Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has confirmed that he will not take part in the IPL 2026 mini auction, days after Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali announced that they will leave the IPL and join the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for its 2026 edition.

    Maxwell ended the speculation surrounding his future through a heartfelt message on social media. 

    “After many unforgettable seasons in the IPL, I’ve decided not to put my name into the auction this year. It’s a big call, and one I make with a lot of gratitude for everything this league has given me,” he wrote. 

    He added that IPL has helped shape him as a cricketer and as a person. “I’ve been lucky to play with world-class teammates, represent incredible franchises, and perform in front of fans whose passion is unmatched. The memories, the challenges, and the energy of India will stay with me forever. Thank you for all your support over the years, hopefully see you soon. Cheers Maxi.”

    Maxwell leaves the league after Punjab Kings released him following a difficult IPL 2025 season.

    On November 29, South Africa’s Faf du Plessis announced that he will skip the IPL 2026 auction and join the PSL instead. He said, “This league has been a massive part of my journey. India has given me friendships, lessons, and memories that have shaped me as a cricketer and as a person.” 

    He called the PSL a “new challenge” as he prepares to return to Pakistan’s premier T20 league.

    On December 1, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali also confirmed that he will feature in PSL 2026. He wrote, “I’m really excited to be joining HBL PSL in its New Era. The league has earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket.” 

    Moeen praised Pakistan’s passionate crowds and said, “Playing in Pakistan is always incredible. The passion and intensity from the crowd push you to bring your best.”

    With Maxwell now joining the growing list, attention shifts to PSL 11, which is set to bring major changes. 

    The league will expand from six to eight teams. Media reports suggest that auctions for two new franchises will take place on January 6, 2026. 

    The tournament is scheduled to run in April and May 2026 under the updated calendar.

  • ‘What a shame’: Entertainment stars mourn death of three-year-old who fell in manhole

    ‘What a shame’: Entertainment stars mourn death of three-year-old who fell in manhole

    The death of three-year-old Ibrahim near Nipa Chowrangi has left the entertainment industry in deep grief. 

    Ibrahim went out for shopping with his parents when he fell into an open manhole and died. Rescue teams found his body 15 hours later. His was laid to rest on Monday.

    Celebrities reacted with shock and anger as they questioned the failure of the authorities.

    Actor Ahsan Khan said, “An open manhole in a public, high-traffic area is 100% the responsibility of the municipal authorities. Maaf kar dena, Ibrahim. Missing manhole covers, stolen covers sold for scrap, zero monitoring, and no emergency nighttime response, what a shame. Karachi has seen 20 to 24 deaths this year because of open manholes and drains.”

    Acctress Sajal Aly also expressed frustration on her Instagram story. 

    She wrote, “Extremely sad and heartbroken. Shame on whoever was responsible for this. Who is responsible for Karachi? Who is responsible for this collapsing, failed system? A child lost his life today, and I cannot even begin to imagine what his parents are going through.”

    “They must have been waiting for a miracle, but because we have no functioning system, there was no one to save him. Roads nahi hain, koi system nahi hai. A city that carries the weight of millions, yet receives no care in return,” she added.

    Mahira Khan also did not hold back: “I saw the video where the mother cries for her child. Who is responsible for this? The level of insensitivity is unbelievable.”

    Actress Fatima Effendi criticised the administration: “The government collects crores through e-challans. Can they not use that money to cover manholes on the roads?”

    Actor Durefishan pointed towards the lack of accountability. She wrote, “How politicians need to be questioned in a ‘democratic’ country. We need to ask them for accountability loudly and without fear. Praying for the safety of this brave journalist, for the child’s family, and for the people of Karachi who keep suffering because of the same incompetence again and again. Shame.”

    Many other celebrities also demanded strict action to prevent such tragedies in the future.

  • Indian man posts selfie with wife’s lifeless body after killing her

    Indian man posts selfie with wife’s lifeless body after killing her

    A shocking incident in Tamil Nadu, India, made headlines after a man killed his wife and posted a selfie with her body on his WhatsApp status.

    According to Indian media reports, the victim, Sri Priya, worked at a private firm and had been living away from her husband after differences rose between them. Her husband, Balamohan, visited her at the hostel where she was staying and hid a sharp weapon in his clothes.

    Police said the couple argued soon after meeting each other. During the confrontation, Balamohan pulled out the hidden weapon and brutally attacked Priya, killing her on the spot.

    What followed stunned everyone. Her husband took a selfie with her body and uploaded it on his WhatsApp status. He also claimed that she had “betrayed” him.

    Chaos spread through the hostel as residents learned about the murder. However, instead of running away, Balamohan stayed at the scene and waited for police to arrive. 

    Officers reached the hostel, arrested him and recovered the murder weapon.

    Initial investigation suggests that the suspect believed his wife was involved with another man, which fueled his actions.

  • Ihsanullah becomes top Pakistani pick at BPL 2026 auction

    Ihsanullah becomes top Pakistani pick at BPL 2026 auction

    Pakistan fast bowler Ihsanullah emerged as the most prominent Pakistani signing at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026 auction in Dhaka. 

    Noakhali Express bought him for $28,000 in Category C, giving the young bowler a strong comeback opportunity after going quiet in his earlier stint with Rangpur Riders.

    The auction took place ahead of a reshaped BPL season, which will run from December 26, 2025, to January 23, 2026. This edition features a major structural change as the league moves from seven teams to five.

    Along with Ihsanullah, Haider Ali and Jahandad Khan also secured deals through the auction. Noakhali Express signed Haider for $20,000, while Rajshahi Warriors picked Jahandad for the same amount. 

    Haider enters the season with solid experience from his 37 international matches and past BPL appearances. Jahandad continues his rise after making his T20I debut last year and featuring regularly since.

    The auction included only three Pakistani names because the remaining six players had already earned direct contracts before the event. 

    Usman Khan joined Dhaka Capitals, Abrar Ahmed linked up with Chattogram Royals, and Sylhet Titans signed Saim Ayub along with Mohammad Amir. Rangpur Riders brought in Khawaja Nafay, while Rajshahi Warriors added Sahibzada Farhan. 

    The signings brought the total number of Pakistani players in the league to nine, highlighting the continued demand for Pakistan’s talent despite the reduction in teams.

    This season features both returning and newly owned sides. Dhaka Capitals and Rangpur Riders remain part of the tournament, while Chattogram Royals, Rajshahi Warriors and Sylhet Titans enter with fresh ownership. 

    Defending champions Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers will step away for this edition.

  • Bilal Abbas saves Meri Zindagi Hai Tu as episodes 7–8 take an interesting turn

    Bilal Abbas saves Meri Zindagi Hai Tu as episodes 7–8 take an interesting turn

    Meri Zindagi Hai Tu Episode 7-8 just got interesting. Yes, the drama is still toxic but we weren’t expecting Kamiyar (Bilal Abbas) to go through the bayizzati that he does at the hands of Ayra (Hania Aamir). 

    You would like Kamiyar a lot if he wasn’t ‘psycho’ as said by Ayra’s sister Dr. Falak (Meher Jafri), and after Ayra does a crazy good rant against him, in front of his parents and hers, you do feel for him. 

    Can’t be sure if it’s deliberate or not but Bilal Abbas does a brilliant job in playing the self-indulgent Kamiyar, bad boy going good, and softly highlighting how a rich, arrogant guy can also want ‘real love’, or the concept of it. You can’t tell: Is Ayra Kamiyar’s temporary obsession or his one true love? Is she what he wants to complete him, the love he never got or saw, as he says explicitly to his parents, or once he gets her, he’ll move on?

    We can’t be sure and that is why it is clear that the only saving grace in Meri Zindagi Hai Tu is Bilal Abbas’ excellent portrayal of a very complex guy. The drama was going in a very typical direction but Bilal as the ‘rogue going good but unable to stop smoking for love’ guy is keeping viewers hooked – or at least willing to stick around to find out what happens next.

    Ayra on the other hand, seemed more interesting than she is. Lacks depth as a character, principled girl but likes Kamiyar enough to check out if he’s still outside her window, doesn’t like him but picks up when he calls, doesn’t want to marry him but kinda does too. She slaps Kamiyar and tells him off primarily because of her own father, who is looking on to see what his daughter does. Which one can accept. But it is very unclear, still, as to why she likes this guy who she considers to be a narcissist. Because he’s doing nice things? Or because he has money and is the ‘chairman’ of his company? The character seems fuzzy and superficial and we can’t be certain what Arya is doing for what reason.

    The good characters are such a disappointment that the villains really are the ones carrying the drama through. Fariha (Vardah Aziz), Kamiyar’s childhood friend and on and off girlfriend it seems, is another character you can’t help but be intrigued by. Vardah does an excellent job as an unlikeable villain, barging into Arya’s house, telling her off in public and having family issues of her own that she can’t figure out. Vardah is very clear in what she wants and that is why she is a refreshing break from the fullness of Arya and her flip-flopping. Fariha might have nefarious designs and evil plans but at least she knows what she wants. 

    After the first few episodes, the drama is finally picking up as something that might not be what it had seemed before. Although we have to look past the cringe, good girl wears shalwar kameez, bad girl is modern in jeans and other stereotypically redundant points, there might be hope for the drama yet. Maybe there is a twist, the psycho turns good (and maybe psycho again), Arya develops some kind of personality and personally we can’t wait to see what Fariha will do to gain the love of her life. 

  • Indian para-athlete beaten to death for confronting unruly behaviour by groom’s family at wedding

    Indian para-athlete beaten to death for confronting unruly behaviour by groom’s family at wedding

    Two days after being attacked by a group of men with iron rods and hockey sticks for confronting their unruly behaviour at a wedding, national-level Indian para-athlete Rohit Dhankar has succumbed to his injuries.

    As per the details, 28-year-old Dhankar on the night of November 27 went to attend a wedding at a family member’s residence in Haryana’s Rewari Khera village.

    As the ceremony took place, some guests from the groom’s side allegedly behaved in an unruly manner, to which Dhankar objected.

    Jatin, Dhankar’s friend who accompanied him, said that the initial confrontation was settled after his brother-in-law stepped in. However, while returning to Rohtak about an hour later, the same group intercepted their vehicle.

    “I told them, let’s talk tomorrow. But by then, they managed to open the passenger seat window where Rohit was sitting. They then smashed the window on my side with an iron rod. I drove away, but they started chasing after,” Jatin said.

    He said the attackers forced the car to stop at a railway crossing, surrounding it. “One of their cars was in front of us, and three were behind our car. They caught hold of Rohit while I managed to escape,” he added.

    While Dhankar was initially taken to Bhiwani General Hospital, he was later transferred to Rohtak where he succumbed to the injuries over the weekend.

    Authorities have so far detained six suspects and confiscated one of the vehicles used in the attack. The investigating officer, Devendra Kumar, said the group of men acted under the influence of alcohol and the assault took place around 11:30 pm.

    Rohit Dhankar was a two-time junior para national recordholder and a seven-time senior para national champion. He also represented India internationally in para powerlifting and worked as a gym trainer.

  • Cybercrime agency arrests Peshawar hospital staffer for ‘secretly recording, extorting’ women

    Cybercrime agency arrests Peshawar hospital staffer for ‘secretly recording, extorting’ women

    Authorities in Peshawar have taken into custody a government-run hospital’s CCTV operator for his alleged involvement in secretly filming women and leveraging those recordings for blackmail. 

    According to reports, the arrest came after an investigation that was initiated over a woman’s report to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). 

    She told the investigators that a man named Imran had reached out to her, claiming he wanted to marry her. He later started blackmailing her with private photographs and videos, demanding Rs2 million.

    The victim reported to the authorities that the suspect had already sent a video to her brother-in-law and was also pressuring her father. 

    With the NCCIA launching a probe, it analysed the material provided by the complainant and organised an operation to apprehend Imran. A meeting between the victim and the suspect was arranged at Tatara Park in the provincial capital where investigators nabbed him. 

    A mobile phone in his possession revealed WhatsApp chats, numerous recordings and videos of women that seemed to have been recorded without consent.

    During interrogation, Imran revealed that he was employed as a CCTV operator at PIC Peshawar, and most videos, which appeared to be from the hospital’s internal surveillance feeds, were recorded at the women’s ward.

    After the recovery of evidence, the NCCIA compiled the information and submitted a report to local law enforcement. 

    A case was formally registered under cybercrime and extortion laws.
