‘No one loves me,’ says Meera on her unmarried status

While Meera is a star on-screen, her heartfelt confession about being unmarried reveals a more candid side of the actress.

Generally known for her unapologetic statements and exceptional acting, she has now made headlines for expressing her disappointment about not being married yet during an interview with a City 42 reporter.

When asked about actress Neelam Muneer’s recent wedding, Meera shared her feelings about her own unmarried status.

“Right now, I am very sad. It is very upsetting that I haven’t married yet. I think no one loves me, and no one wants to marry me,” Meera confessed.

Meera, our absolute favourite Lollywood diva, never fails to shock and intrigue with her revelations and attention grabbing behavior.

During the interview the host Ambreen Fatima asked, “When will we get to see Meera alongside Fawad Khan?”

Meera said, “There’s a lot of talk going on about Fawad Khan, but it depends on the director’s decision. If I’m alive, I’ll definitely work with him if the opportunity arises.”

Fawad Khan has starred in dramas like Humsafar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, and Dastaan. He also worked in films like The Legend of Maula Jatt, Khoobsurat, Ae Dil Mukshil, and Money Back Guarantee. Fawad’s upcoming series Barzakh will air on Zee Zindagi on July 19.

She has starred in film such as Kanta, Chief Sahib, Hawaen, Baazigar, Miss IstanbuL, Cheez Bari Hai Mas Mast

Earlier, director Saqib Malik was invited recently as a guest on Dawn News’ show Aap Ki Kahani with Deepak Parwani. He discussed his experience working with Meera in ‘Baaji.’
“Working with Meera was a wonderful experience.

Despite the rumors and gossip surrounding her, we managed to complete the film successfully and it received a great response. It was a labor of love, and I would love to collaborate with her again in the future.

Meera is an incredibly talented actress with a very expressive face that conveys a thousand emotions without needing much effort. She brings great energy to the set, but her trusting nature can sometimes be a weakness, as she believes others easily and can be influenced by hearsay. Nevertheless, her hard work and dedication to her craft are evident in the appreciation she received for her role in Baaji. I’m grateful for her brilliant performance and my own hard work on the project.”

Saqib Malik has directed many music videos, including ‘Khumaj’ , Na Re Na’, and ‘Love Mein Gum’. His recent success was the feature film ‘Baaji’ (2019).

Social media haunted by eerie resemblance between burnt Los Angeles and Gaza

Social media is rife with similarities between pictures of Gaza and the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles, ravaged by wildfires.

The California fire dubbed the Greater Los Angeles wildfire, has burnt more than ten thousand structures and taken ten lives so far. Pictures coming out of the American city show large properties, including the mansions of Hollywood celebrities, burnt to ashes with no trees in sight.

The photos reminded internet users of the destruction in Gaza carried out by Israel.

A user by the name of Biker Niqabi reposted the viral picture of one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in LA, Pacific Palisades, which had been completely burnt down. The user captioned it, “I’ve been seeing pictures like this or worse from neighbourhood after neighbourhood in Gaza every single day for more than a year now, but it’s only worthy of being recognized as horrible if it’s happening to a wealthy western neighbourhood, I guess.”

Another user compared the LA neighbourhood to Palestine. “Palisades looks like Palestine rn [right now]. Even the names being slightly similar is making me uncomfortable.”

Leslie replied to this by posting, “Impossible to see this image and not think of what Palestinians have been enduring for the last 15 months.”

However, without mincing words, another Twitter user posted a GIF which stated, “God don’t like ugly.” She captioned the post by pointing out the complicity of the American government in the genocide in Gaza: “Their government is funding genocide in Gaza and in support of Israel with their full chest…see their little Gaza now!! Their government is involved in every aspect of evil in the world……”

A netizen mentioned, “It almost looks like it was bombed by Israel for a year.”

A tweet urged the US government to learn from the lesson of “mother nature” and “stop funding the genocide in Gaza.”

On the other hand, some also found these comparisons unfair, as TV host Aleena Farooq Sheikh posted on Instagram, “We’re all hurt and bleeding for Palestine and Syria but those celebrating LA fires and calling it karma should seriously introspect. Never gloat over anyone’s misery/misfortune even if they’re your worst enemy.”

Notably, renowned American actress and producer Jamie Curtis, who was born and raised in LA, also spoke about the astonishing similarity of visuals coming out of the burnt estates in LA with that of Gaza and other “war-torn countries”.

Speaking at an event she said, “The entire Pacific Palisades looks like, you know, unfortunately, Gaza or one of these war-torn countries where awful things have happened.”

EXCLUSIVE: It’s confirmed! Gohar Rasheed, Kubra Khan to tie the knot

The entertainment world is abuzz with speculation as rumours circulate about the possible union of Gohar Rasheed and Kubra Khan ever since they started posting videos of celebrity dance practices on Instagram.

So, are these two beloved stars really taking their friendship to the next level?

According to sources, the two stars are set to get married on February 22, with the ceremony taking place in Karachi.

Gohar Rasheed fueled these rumours with an Instagram video. The video shows both actors at a house with friends, tea, samosas, and a cute dog, captioned “2025 Bismillah.”

Social media users flooded the comments section with congratulations and speculation.

The buzz intensified when Gohar Rasheed posted another video with the caption, ‘Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai,’ adding to the curiosity.

In a recent appearance on “After Hours with Ushna Shah,” Gohar was asked about his relationship status. He replied, “I am not single; she’s an amazing person, and now I can’t imagine my life without her.” While he didn’t reveal his partner’s name, fans speculated it might be Kubra Khan.

Similarly, in an interview with The Current Life, Kubra Khan was asked about her best friend in the industry. She replied, “My best friend in the industry, yes, it’s Mirza; he’s been my best friend for the past nine years now.”

As rumours swirl, fans have expressed their excitement. One fan posted on Gohar’s Instagram: “So happy for you both.” Another added, “They both are so good, am so happy they found each other!!! Looking forward to their pictures!!!” Yet another fan commented, “The bride’s name is Kubra Khan.”

Despite the growing buzz, neither Gohar nor Kubra has confirmed the rumours. Addressing the speculation, Kubra mentioned in an interview: “I’m used to it now. I’m wondering if it happens; you guys made it happen. I swear, you guys pushed it so much… But no, it doesn’t bother me anymore, to be honest, because it has been happening for eight years, and eventually now I’m like, yeah, whatever.”

Announcement or threat? Social media trolls PIA for its unique way of announcing new flights

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the country’s national flag carrier, has posted a picture announcing the resumption of direct flights between Islamabad and Paris from January 10 this year; however, the image has a lot of people confused about the messaging.

PIA announced the resumption of direct flights to France after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (Easa) listed the ban on PIA flights to Europe in November 2024 after more than four years.

The European aviation regulator banned the Pakistani airline in Europe over doubtful pilot licences in 2020 after PIA’s flight from Lahore crashed near Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, killing around 100 people.

During Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) tenure in 2020, then-aviation minister Ghulam Sarwar alleged “almost 40 percent” of pilots working in Pakistan airlines had fake licences in an infamous National Assembly speech.

Following the minister’s remarks, European and UK authorities banned PIA from their territories, which were the airline’s most profitable routes.

The European aviation regulator announced that PIA “demonstrated to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency compliance” safety standards, lifting a four-year ban on PIA.

The agency has also granted the ‘Third Country Operator (TCO)’ authorisation to Airblue, allowing the private airline to start commercial flights to Europe.

Dawn News reported that the positive development came due to the aviation ministry’s “complete focus” on strengthening the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) and ensuring safety oversight in line with the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s standards.

Therefore, the PIA announced its plans to expand both its domestic and international operations by launching new flights starting in January.

Though the latest development is positive, the official handle of PIA on X (formerly Twitter) is getting trolled online for uploading a picture that might resemble a dark moment in the world’s history.

One social media user wrote: “PIA please change the angle of your plane. It’s looking like 9/11 here.” Another user wrote: “I think every Pakistani should clarify that this plane isn’t aiming for Eiffel tower. And the designer should be fired ASAP.”

Some social media users were disappointed with the post writing: ” ‍♂️Who approved this graphic ? Delete it!! Mutlab aqal istimal karni he nahi hai .. Give PIA away for free at this point and keep the debt. This is an embarassment.” Another user wrote: “Tell me this isn’t an actual ad. Do you guiz not understand this entire layout, and the tagline sounds more like a threat than anything else.”

Some social media users uploaded a PIA advertisement in a French newspaper from the 20th century in which the PIA aeroplane’s shadow was imprinted on the Twin Towers in New York.

Journalist Waseem Abbasi commented: “Keep the plane a little to the side. Flights have resumed with great difficulty.”

Many X users edited the PIA’s recently uploaded image with one user fixing a white flag above the plane seemingly headed towards the Eiffel Tower.

England wants ICC to halt Afghan funding amid women’s cricket ban

The England Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to raise the issue of Afghan women’s cricket team restrictions in front of the International Cricket Council (ICC) rather than boycotting the match against Afghanistan.

According to foreign media reports, ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould and other members are scheduled to meet with the ICC next Monday.

During the meeting, the ECB officials will demand sanctions against Afghanistan and call on the ICC to halt funding to the Afghan Cricket Board (ACB) over its lack to resume women’s cricket under the Taliban rule.

The ECB will demand that the money be kept in an account till the restrictions of Afghan women’s team were lifted, reports said, claiming that the ECB will also demand that the ICC set a deadline for the same.

The reports come after ECB chief Richard Gould discussed the issue with England men’s cricket team captain Jos Butler. Earlier, 160 British politicians had also written a letter to the ECB to boycott the match with Afghanistan in the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy.

‘I’ve never seen anything like it’: Nora Fatehi has terrifying escape from LA fires

In a terrifying turn of events, Canadian actress and dancer Nora Fatehi was forced to flee her Los Angeles home as raging wildfires wreaked havoc across the city, leaving thousands of residents displaced.

In a recent Instagram post, Fatehi shared details of her frightening experience, describing the panic and chaos leading up to her hurried evacuation.

“The wildfires are out of control, I‘ve never seen anything like it, we only got the evacuation order five minutes ago,” she said.

The wildfires, which erupted on the night of January 07, 2025, have already consumed large areas of land, reportedly destroying over 1,500 properties and leaving 15,000 residents displaced.

Nora Fatehi quickly packed her things and headed to the airport, hoping her scheduled flight wouldn’t be cancelled. “I packed quickly and left for the airport as I have a flight today,” she said.

“I hope everyone stays safe, I’ve never experienced anything like this before. This s**t is scary I’m gonna keep you guys updated,” she added.

She wasn’t the only celebrity affected by the wildfires. Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas also witnessed the devastating blaze from her mansion in LA.

Sharing a video of the fire, Priyanka Chopra wrote, “My thoughts are with everyone, I hope we all stay tonight.”

Other Hollywood celebrities, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Mandy Moore, and Paris Hilton have also lost their homes to the wildfires. The fires have caused immense destruction, and the city of Los Angeles remains under siege, grappling with one of its worst natural disasters.

As the fires keep burning, the focus is on keeping residents safe and applauding the hard work of those fighting the flames.

Earlier, A new wildfire broke out late Wednesday in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles after other fires in the region killed at least five people, destroyed hundreds of homes and forced authorities to issue evacuation orders to more than 100,000 people. City authorities reported “zero containment” due to dry, hurricane-force winds.

At least five people have been killed in wildfires rampaging around Los Angeles, officials said Wednesday, with firefighters overwhelmed by the speed and ferocity of multiple blazes.

Up to 1,500 buildings have burned in fires that have broken out around America‘s second biggest city, forcing over 100,000 people from their homes.

Hurricane-force winds whipped up fireballs that leapt from house to house in the upmarket Pacific Palisades area, incinerating a swathe of California‘s most desirable real estate favored by Hollywood celebrities.

On Wednesday evening, a new fire erupted in the Hollywood Hills, just a few hundred meters (yards) from the storied Hollywood Boulevard, sparking an evacuation order for the world’s entertainment capital.

Early Life & Family Background

Kenneth Petty was born in the Queens borough of New York City on the 7th of April, 1982. Living in a rough neighborhood in the city means Kenneth could live the reality of urban life. He grew up in a middle-class household and saw firsthand the problems that many boys face there, including crime and gangs. He would eventually move on from this past and reinvent himself in the public eye.

Kenneth was profoundly affected by everything around him. Everything he saw influenced his loyalty, family, and survival ideologies. It is mainly unknown where he attended school. Still, it can be assumed that he attended institutions in the New York area before attempting to escape the less respectable aspects of his community. Although not much is known about his family, they were significant in his life and taught him to aim for harmony rather than chaos.

Kenneth Petty and Nicki Minaj

Minaj and Petty once had a romance when they met between the ages of 14 and 15 while attending LaGuardia High School in New York City. However, they could not sustain that connection when they moved to Queens. Years later, in 2018, they resumed their romance out of the blue.

Kenneth Petty elaborated on his romance with Minaj in the past and how he fell for her while he was in prison. In the song “Zanies and Fools,” released in 2019, Minaj raps about how she met Petty: “If you love it, let it go. Now I know what that means. I got along with everyone and gained fame for my body while he was up north for a body.

In a tweet in January 2019, she described the details of her teenage relationship with Petty. “We were like this about each other since we were with each other while we were still children in the ghetto. I had a bad body. However, he still found me attractive. My life changed and I fought my boyfriend but wouldn’t date him. He was always crazy about me,” she recalls from her previous years.

The Couple has been Back Together Since 2018

The pair reunited again in 2018 and made their romance official that December. Minaj marked the occasion with an Instagram slideshow of the two. ‘He wants me to be his wife—his MISSIS like SIPPI NOW,’ she stated about their photos, which included them making fun, smiling, and cuddling.

Soon after, Kenneth Petty was spotted with an extravagant neck tattoo of Minaj’s real name, Onika. ‘Did your tattoo hurt, zaddy? His first tat was like it didn’t hurt. #Onika #HeavyOnIt,’ she wrote in a post revealing his newly donned tattoo.

They Got Married in 2019

Minaj gave marriage signals when she referred to Petty as her spouse as early as March 2019. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there. I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything,” she confirmed during her Apple Beats 1 Show in June of the same year. Nicki admitted that she was married to Petty in August of that year.

In August 2019, the rapper clarified that he plans to tie the knot within the next 80 days. She said, “We had to sign it, but by the time I returned, I had to do so again,” about the details of marriage. You must sign it for 90 days after that time, and roughly a week ago, that was the case.”

However, Minaj joined Lil Wayne on her show eight months later to discuss her married life. “I expected it to be different. However, it is enormously soothing. Even in the absence of marriage, having someone truly amazing by your side is unparalleled,” said the girl. Meanwhile, Minaj and Petty celebrated their fifth year of marriage in October 2024.

The “Moment 4 Life” rapper shared a picture of them celebrating their accomplishment on Instagram. He wrote, “How exactly do you expect me to be okay after seeing you for the first time? Therefore, you are always here to protect me.”

Petty and Minaj Shared a Son

Minaj announced her pregnancy through an Instagram post. She was seen holding her bump and captioned the post, “#Preggers .” She also wrote, “Love, marriage, baby carriage. I’m simply over the moon.” The couple welcomed their first child in September of the same year they got married.

According to the resource, their child was born on September 30, 2020. The couple didn’t reveal their son’s name. They also mentioned that on October 20th, Minaj shared a note that Beyonce and other celebrities had sent her, confirming that the baby was a boy. Minaj posted a picture of herself kissing her baby boy on Instagram alongside the caption, “I am so thankful to God for my angel.” She then referred to her son as her favorite little boy.

Minaj recounts the day she and her husband suddenly started panicking as they realized that her water had broken. “At the time, I was naked, literally just got out of the shower when I asked him to rub my back. He was at the edge of the bed and all I had to do was just scoot over to him and that’s when I realized water was coming out. Oddly enough, I was quite composed and said to myself in my mind, ‘Wow, I am going to go into labor.’ My husband was panicking and I was at peace.”

Net Worth and Lifestyle

Kenneth Petty net worth is estimated at around $3 million. This wealth is mainly the result of his appearances and his affiliation with Nicki Minaj. Furthermore, their shared assets enhance their accumulated wealth since Nicki Minaj is one of the wealthiest musicians in the world. Kenneth’s finances have improved due to his transformation.

Kenneth’s lifestyle revolves around wealth. The couple has expensive homes where they stay and cars that they drive around in. Their social media will sometimes post about exotic locations they went on vacation to, followed by the family and events contributing to such expenses. Kenneth Petty maintains his income despite leading a comparatively quiet life because of the perception of his fame.

Home of Hollywood actor who wanted Gaza destroyed is burnt in LA fires

Hollywood actor James Woods, a vocal supporter of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, recently appeared on an American TV show to talk about losing his home in Los Angeles fires.

The actor, who once tweeted “#KillThemAll” about Gaza, was seen crying on air, talking about the destruction he had to witness as fires ravaged Los Angeles. Netizens were quick to spring to action, reminding him of his hate-spewing against Palestinians facing a genocide at the hands of Israeli forces since the past 15 months.

Woods had always been vocal about his support for Israelis. He cheered Israel’s deadly attacks on Palestinians in Gaza.

“Bomb the savages who did this back to the Stone Age. There are no grey areas. Kill them all,” he wrote in an X post in October 2023, the day Hamas attacked Israel.

In another post, Woods had demanded “no ceasefire, no compromise, no forgiveness. #KillThemAll”.

He broke down in tears during the interview on Wednesday, talking about losing his mansion in the wildfires that swept through Hollywood in LA.

“One day, you’re in the swimming pool, and the next day it’s gone,” he said while sobbing.

The clip from the interview went viral, prompting pro-Palestine voices to remind the Hollywood actor James Woods of his support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha lambasted Woods by saying: “How dare you get on the air and cry?!”.

The award-winning poet even shared a screenshot of the Twitter interaction with James Wood, where he had addressed Toha using abusive language and called him “Hamas-loving scum.”

Toha posted a series of four pictures, including Wood and the others of Palestinians sitting on the rubble of their home while the actor sits in a furnished room, but all of them bawling their eyes out. He captioned them as “A letter to James Wood.”

Another user shared the clips of Woods and his statements and posted, “Karma works in mysterious ways.”

A netizen by the name of Syeda posted, “I don’t know if I should feel happy seeing someone like this in their dreadful times, but I am definitely not sad for a wretched soul like his.”

Additionally, some other social media users highlighted the irony for Woods, who is a climate-change sceptic and has lost his house to extreme weather.
