    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.”

    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.
