A video of actress and TV host Maya Khan talking about how people search for girls for marriage is making rounds on social media and it seems like a lot of people agree with her.
In the video that got a lot of attention, she talks about how people visit a girl’s house to consider marriage, but they end up not marrying her
The actress said, “After seeing the girl, the people who come ask the girl’s parents for a few days and then say on the phone that their istikhara is not correct, they cannot have a relationship. In the same way, the girl’s parents get a call from someone else to come to see the girl and then the family asks the girl to stay at home or leave the office early.”
Maya Khan stated, “The people who come for the second time also do the same, see the girl, leave after drinking tea and water and ask for an answer after a few days.” She added, “Calls for girls to see relationships are coming again and again and every time the girls are decorated and dressed like a ready-made item in a showroom.”
The actress’s video discussing Pakistani culture regarding girls’ relationships became really popular. Users commented on it and agreed with her. They said that some people pretend to pray for guidance (istikhara) when they don’t really intend to marry the girl.
After winning the ‘Artist in Fashion’ title at the EMIGALA event in Dubai, Mahira Khan shared her excitement on social media. She posted a picture wearing a beautiful blue gown that grabbed everyone’s attention. In her Instagram caption, she expressed gratitude for the positive energy at the event.

She expressed thanks for life, courage, family, friends, and both big and small blessings, especially saying “Alhamdulillah” for the tender ones.
Continuing her theme of gratitude, Mahira shared a video of herself holding her award at the gala and giving her acceptance speech. “When women support other women, and when people support each other, miracles happen. Magic happens. Sometimes we think we should keep something for ourselves, but the real magic is when we share.”
She then talked about her career in film and television, saying, “My lifelong dream has been to see myself on the big screen, and I hope to keep doing that. But another important purpose in my life is to do what my parents taught me – to pay it forward. If we’re fortunate enough to be in the positions we’re in, then I believe our job is to help others in any way we can.”
Goldy Brar, the main suspect in the killing of Indian rapper Sidhu Moosewala was falsely reported dead in a shooting in the US. The Fresno Police in California has clarified that the man killed in the firing incident wasn’t Brar.Sidhu Moose Wala – renowned for fusing modern hip-hop and classic Punjabi music – was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in May last year in Mansa, Punjab.
“At first, it was said that Brar got shot while he was outside a house with a friend. But Fresno Police said it wasn’t true,” Lieutenant William J. Dooley of the Fresno Police Department stated.
“The confusion came from wrong information on social media and news sites,” Lieutenant Dooley explained. “The person who got shot was actually Satinderjeet Brar, a gangster from Canada with ties to Bollywood and Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang.”
Satinderjeet Brar, wanted for crimes in Canada, was called a terrorist by India’s Ministry of Home Affairs. He once threatened Bollywood star Salman Khan in a TV interview in 2023.
During the interview, Brar also admitted to killing Sidhu Moosewala, saying, “Sidhu Moosewala was an egoistic person. He misused his political and money power. It was necessary to teach him a lesson, and he was taught one.” Brar added, “Bhai Sahab (referring to Lawrence Bishnoi) had stated that he wouldn’t apologize. Baba will show mercy only when he feels merciful.” He also asserted that they have more targets, and they won’t stop until they achieve their goal.
