    Earlier this month, PTI announced that it would start a nationwide movement against what they claim is rigging in general elections, starting from April 13. Asad Qaiser spoke to the media in Rawalpindi after meeting Imran Khan in Adiala jail, where he confirmed that the first rally of the protest movement would take place in Pishin district.

    “Our mission is [upholding] the supremacy of the constitution and law,” Omar said.

    Nisho reveals years of abuse by ex-husband in emotional vlog


    Lollywood star Sahiba recently met her biological father, Inam Rabbani, after 42 years, and she documented their emotional reunion in a vlog. Husband Rambo convinced Sahiba to meet her biological father, who had been trying to reconnect with her. Following their meeting, Sahiba’s mother, legendary actress Nisho was asked about her ex-husband. The star has now opened up about her marriage to Inam Rabbani and the hardships she endured during that time.


    She said, in a YouTube video, “I recounted our love story with Inam from our teenage years. We exchanged letters during that time, but Inam had to leave the country when our families opposed our marriage. Despite facing opposition, I pursued my dream of entering showbiz and eventually became a star. Upon Inam’s return, we decided to get married. However, throughout our marriage, I endured emotional abuse from his family. Tragically, when I was pregnant, Inam abandoned me and left.”


    She emphasized that she never stopped Sahiba from meeting her father. “I allowed him to see her when she was five, and did not stop her now from meeting him. But Inam never reached out to his daughter in 42 years.”
    Nisho revealed that Inam had married again after their divorce, but claimed that he also left that woman, taking all her belongings and her children as well. “I am grateful that I took Sahiba with me, so Inam couldn’t take her away.”

    Dropping a bombshell, she said Inam would never have come back if Sahiba was not rich. “He is poor now and his health is not right either; therefore, he has come back.” She has advised Sahiba and Rambo to help him as he is her father, and she would not stop them from helping him when he needs it.

  • Nazish Jahangir asks seniors to stop feeling jealous

    Nazish Jahangir asks seniors to stop feeling jealous

    Pakistani actor Nazish Jahangir has stirred a hornet’s nest by talking openly about jealousy among older actors in the industry. She was a guest on The Night Show with Ayaz Samoo where she talked about getting noticed online, dealing with advances from male colleagues, and how important it is to be genuine in the entertainment world.

    During the interview, the 29-year-old spoke up about facing jealousy from older actors in the industry. She mentioned that some people in the industry feel jealous without any clear reason, even though they are more experienced. “It’s people within your own industry who are jealous of you for no good reason. Like you are way too senior.” Although she didn’t mention anyone by name, she suggested that this is a common issue. “All I can say is that there are many people like this,” she observed, indicating that such feelings are widespread.

    Expressing sadness about seeing jealousy among older actors, the Inaam-e-Mohabbat actor stressed how crucial it is to have mutual respect. “We respect you a lot as our seniors. I don’t think they should show us a side to them that disappoints us,” she said, highlighting the importance of having a positive and supportive atmosphere in the industry.


    She also talked about her personal beliefs, saying it’s important to be true to yourself. “It’s not just about me. I believe if there are five people in a room and one of them is negative, it can ruin the mood for everyone, and that’s not fair,” Nazish explained.
    She encouraged everyone to accept their own unique selves, saying, “I think everyone should realize: I am me, you are you. You can’t be me, and I can’t be you. Knowing this helps life go smoothly, without feeling like you’re in a race or under pressure.”

    In a touching moment, Nazish made a sincere request to her colleagues: “Please don’t be jealous. If I say I am very pretty in every interview, it’s because I feel I have a right to take pride in that but so do you. We are all very pretty.” Her words urged everyone to come together and feel confident in an industry where competition and insecurity are common.

  • Kangana Ranaut had to explain to Twitter that she did not eat beef

    Kangana Ranaut had to explain to Twitter that she did not eat beef

    Among the gossip spreading on social media, bigoted actress Kangana Ranaut, used X (formerly Twitter) to reject rumors about her eating beef. The controversial star stressed that she follows a healthy lifestyle based on yoga and Ayurveda.

    In a tweet she posted recently, Ranaut said, “I don’t eat beef or any other red meat. It’s shameful that there are completely false rumors about me. I’ve been supporting and talking about the yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle for many years now. These kinds of tricks won’t make people think badly of me. The people who know me know that I’m a proud Hindu, and nothing can change their opinion.”

    An old tweet from 2019 started circulating again where Ranaut talked about her becoming a vegetarian and following a yogic lifestyle. It said, “There is nothing wrong with eating beef or eating any other meat. It’s not about religion! It’s not a hidden fact that Kangana turned vegetarian eight years ago and chose to be a yogi. She still doesn’t believe in just one religion. On the contrary, her brother eats meat” (Ranaut’s old tweet). However, Ranaut strongly denied the ideas in the old tweet. She emphasized that her beliefs match Hinduism’s principles.


    Ranaut, who recently joined politics as a candidate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi Lok Sabha seat, organized a roadshow in the city as part of her campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. During this event, she sought support from the people of Mandi and assured them of her dedication to representing their interests.
    Looking back on her journey in the film industry, Ranaut talked about the difficulties she faced as an outsider, especially because of her regional background and language skills. Despite these challenges, she spoke proudly of her roots in Mandi and her strong determination to succeed despite adversity.


    With her recent movie Tejas and her upcoming directorial project Emergency, based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Ranaut continues to make an impact both in the entertainment world and in politics.

    From football to acting, Muneeb Butt’s fascinating career journey

    Muneeb Butt may be very famous now but the route he has taken to arrive at this point was marked by plenty of twists and turns. He recently talked about his first acting job as a junior artist in a commercial during an interview on ARY Digital’s Ramadan special show ‘Shan e Suhoor’.


    During the heart-to-heart chat with host Nida Yasir, Muneeb openly discussed his personal life, family, daughters, and career.
    Talking about his dreams for his career, Muneeb Butt shared that he didn’t come from a family in the entertainment industry. He revealed that it all began when he was playing football in his neighborhood. A guy who was about his age, working as a junior artist coordinator for a commercial, approached him and suggested trying acting. He convinced Muneeb to visit the sets of a commercial shoot, which sparked Muneeb’s interest in acting.

    “I went there as discussed, and I saw that there were at least 4 buses filled with other young boys like me, all being taken for the junior casting of the commercial,” Butt explained. He mentioned that actors like Shehroze Sabzwari, Ahmed Ali Akbar, and Ainy Jaffri were the main stars of the commercial, while he wasn’t even in the background.


    “After that commercial, I told my family about my dream to study media sciences. While studying, I began my journey to enter the entertainment industry,” shared the actor from ‘Sar-e-Rah’. “That’s how it all began for me – going to auditions, facing rejection many times, and finally getting small roles.”
    But he is grateful, saying, ‘I owe my success to a friend’s father who had connections in the industry and decided to help me without any ‘mutual benefit’.’

    The celebrity also revealed that while he was studying, he began working at an advertising agency. There, he learned more about the industry’s opportunities. With the support of his boss and colleagues, he decided to step in front of the camera.
    Muneeb Butt made his first appearance on screen in ARY Digital’s drama ‘Baandi,’ alongside Maria Wasti, Yasra Rizvi, Nimra Bucha, and others.

This hotel, facing the Israeli West Bank barrier wall, is a special place financed and thought up by famous British street artist Banksy. It stands as a symbol of artistic resistance against political challenges.

    A lot of famous people are working together on the documentary Walled Off, including Anwar Hadid, who is Alana Hadid’s brother. Roger Waters from Pink Floyd is also part of the team. Plus, Kweku Mandela, who is Nelson Mandela’s grandson, is helping with the production.

We want people to express themselves creatively against unfairness. With our films, we hope to teach and inspire people all around the world to stand up against injustice.”


    Watermelon Pictures isn’t just about supporting important causes; it also celebrates Palestinian culture as a big part of who they are. They’re proud of Palestinian heritage and want to show how vibrant and strong it is. That’s why they chose a watermelon as their symbol because it shares colors with the Palestinian flag.


    As Watermelon Pictures starts sharing different stories and encouraging important conversations, they’re making a big effort to include everyone. Their work is a big step towards making sure everyone’s voices are heard in the movie world.
