    ‘Dupatta nahi lia, khatra’: Zulqarnain Sikandar blasts troll for inappropriate comment on wife Kanwal Aftab

    TikTokers Kanwal Aftab and Zulqarnain Sikandar tied the knot in April 2021. The Masters star recently clapped back at a cyber troll for questioning his wife Kanwal Aftab’s choice of dressing.

    On their Nikkah ceremony the bride opted for a white and gold outfit, the groom donned a white shalwar kameez and a red waist coat.

    Kanwal recently made her acting debut in Express Entertainment’s Oye Moti. Turns out that the series does not aim to mock women but is an honest attempt to shed light on body and fat-shaming and how it affects those at the receiving end of criticism.

    Each episode has a separate storyline and features different women stuck in different scenarios where they are fat-shamed. However, they manage to overcome whatever hurdle comes their way.

  • ‘Do not try to be Nawaz Sharif,’ Maryam Nawaz tells PM Khan

    ‘Do not try to be Nawaz Sharif,’ Maryam Nawaz tells PM Khan

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz said that Prime Minister Imran Khan should not try to be Nawaz Sharif. Maryam was addressing the media after an appearance at the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

    “When Nawaz Sharif came up with the slogan, ‘Vote ko izzat do’ [give respect to the vote], he was an elected prime minister, a constitutional prime minister, he came to power from the votes of the people and he had a long constitutional struggle, which was not for himself,” said Maryam.

    “He [Nawaz Sharif] gave up prime minister office for the respect of the Constitution and people of Pakistan,” she said. “To give respect to vote, you need to go to prison, you need to say that you will not take dictation from anyone.”

    “Imran Khan’s identity is to conspire against the elected prime minister and to hold a 126-day sit-in,” she said. She was referring to the 2014 sit-in by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Islamabad.

    The PML-N leader went on to say that one does not simply become a lion by cloaking oneself in the creature’s hide.

    Maryam said PM Imran Khan’s identity is confined to “conspiracies” and that he has “nothing to do with the principles of law and democracy”.

    She said that the premier will have to “answer for his conspiracies”. Speaking further about the so-called “conspiracies”, she said that if the use of “magic” has yielded such success, then it should be put to use to alleviate the petrol, diesel, flour crises, reports Geo News.

    “If your magic is so successful, then why don’t you use it for the good of the people?”

    “Go ahead, revoke my bail, arrest me, so that the people can see how fearful you are,” she challenged the government.
