Asim Azhar has left fans scratching their heads after deleting his Instagram posts, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic “Khuda Hafiz.”

The Dard hitmaker took to his Instagram stories to write “Khuda Hafiz,” before wiping his feed clean.

As of now, his Instagram account shows no posts, fueling speculation among fans about what might have prompted the sudden move. The singer, known for hits like Jo Tu Na Mila and Habibi, has not issued any official statement explaining his actions.

This comes shortly after Azhar was seen performing in Islamabad, where he expressed frustration over concert delays, criticizing event organizers for setting late show timings. He was also recently spotted at actress Yashma Gill’s birthday bash, where he and Hania Aamir were seen enjoying the viral track Pal Pal.

The move has drawn comparisons to actress Alizeh Shah, who also deleted all her Instagram photos, citing a temporary break from social media.

Adding to the speculation, reports suggest that Asim Azhar recently parted ways with his fiancée, actress Meerub Ali, ending their three-year relationship. Fans have since taken to social media to express concern and curiosity over the singer’s emotional state and possible reasons behind his digital silence.

Neither Asim nor his team has commented on the matter at the time of writing.

As Pakistan continues to grapple with ongoing internet disruptions over the past few days, citizens across the country have been struggling with work and online connectivity. Amid this digital turmoil, Pakistani singer Asim Azhar has hinted at an upcoming release, sparking excitement among his fans.

Taking to Instagram stories, Asim wrote: “Han jee mere pyare Pakistanio. Kya halaat hain internet ke? Kuch theek hain tou kuch release karen…?” (Hey my dear Pakistanis. What’s the internet situation like? If it’s somewhat okay, should we drop something?)

This teaser comes just three months after the release of his last song Regardless, which was met with widespread appreciation and has since garnered over six million views on YouTube.

Earlier this year, the singer also celebrated a major milestone, 12 years in the music industry. Marking the occasion, he shared a childhood photo on Instagram with the caption: “Can u imagine this boy will be completing 12 years in the industry tomorrow?” The post featured nostalgic clips from his journey, offering fans a glimpse into his evolution as an artist.

Asim Azhar began his musical career by covering Western songs on YouTube in 2013, including Ed Sheeran’s The A-Team and Flo Rida’s Whistle. His breakthrough came in 2015 with Coke Studio Season 8, performing Hina Ki Khushbu alongside Samra Khan. He later appeared in Seasons 9 and 11 with hit tracks like Tera Woh Pyar and Mahi Aaja featuring Momina Mustehsan.

Over the years, Asim has showcased his versatility across various platforms. He contributed to two Pakistan Super League anthems Sab Sitaray Hamaray with Shae Gill and Faris Shafi, and Tayyar Hain alongside Ali Azmat, Haroon, and Arif Lohar. He also collaborated with Talha Yunus for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings’ track Yeh Hai Karachi in 2022.

In 2023, Asim expanded his musical range further through Velo Sound Station, delivering tracks such as Chahay Jis Shehr, Mar Janiey, and Sona Chandi.

His solo discography continues to grow, with songs like Khwahish, Yaad, and Habibi racking up millions of views. His popular track Jo Tu Na Mila, featuring actress Iqra Aziz, remains a fan favorite with over 250 million views and a Hum Style Award for Best Non-Film Track.

In addition to his independent work, Asim has also contributed to drama OSTs, lending his voice to hit serials such as Ehd-e-Wafa, Sinf-e-Aahan, and Meem Se Mohabbat.

With his recent hint on social media, fans eagerly await what the singer has in store next and hope the country’s internet stabilizes in time to enjoy it.

Pakistani pop icon Zoheb Hassan has made an emotional announcement following the death of his beloved mother, expressing deep gratitude to those who supported him and revealing a heartfelt decision regarding those who did not.

The singer described his mother as the most important person in his life and shared his grief publicly on social media.

In an Instagram post, the singer made a deeply personal decision regarding his social connections, stating, “My mother was the single most important person in my life. Any person on my friend list in Pakistan who didn’t condole on her passing. I as of now will not consider a ‘friend’ and shall remove them from my friend list.”

While he expressed disappointment over the lack of condolences from some, Zoheb was also full of gratitude for those who stood by him during this difficult time. “As for the hundreds of friends who did and made the effort to attend the funeral and the prayers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love you back,” he wrote.

He also shared some glimpses of his mother’s funeral in a previous Instagram post. In the pictures, he was visibly in grief pain.

Announcing her death on September 26, he posted a touching tribute, saying, “Even though it is difficult to accept your physical absence, your memory shall always stay embedded deep in my heart and mind. Maybe this is the only way I can hold on to you. I will miss our long conversations, your advice and our shared laughter.”

The loss has clearly left a deep void in Zoheb Hassan’s life, and his messages have resonated with fans who offered him their condolences and support.

Zoheb and Nazia Hassan rose to fame in the 1980s with their chart-topping hits, revolutionizing the pop music scene in Pakistan and India.

Pakistani singer and composer Humail Rajpoot recently took to Instagram to express disbelief and disappointment at Gen Z’s apparent unfamiliarity with iconic Indian playback singer Shaan.

In the video, Humail is passionately defending Shaan’s legacy and criticizing the younger generation’s lack of musical knowledge.

Humail recounted an event where he was asked about his favourite singer, where he mentioned Shaan, only to be met with the question: “Who is Shaan?” He said he was shocked and responded by singing some of Shaan’s notable songs, including Kash Ek Din Aisa Bhi Aaye from the film Showbiz and the title track from Don.

“If I start singing his songs, we’ll still be here tomorrow,” Humail said agitatedly. “Beta, itni aap ki umar nahi jitney ganay hain Shaan ke (You’re not even as old as the number of songs Shaan has sung). What sort of kids are they?”

In the caption, Humail further expressed his frustration: “Disturbed to my core. Had to make a reel and share with all of you! I honestly don’t have anything against new singers. I really enjoy new music but when it comes to singers, these guys need a lot of knowledge! How are they satisfied going in front of a mic with vocals so heavily treated and tuned?”

Humail also used the post as a reminder about the importance of respecting artists, particularly those who have laid the foundation of modern music: “This video is for awareness that artists deserve respect, and legends deserve each and everything.”

Shaan himself responded to the video with a heartfelt comment featuring a red heart emoji and the joined hands emoji, a gesture of gratitude and mutual respect.

Shaan, born Shantanu Mukherjee, is widely regarded as one of India’s most versatile and beloved playback singers. Dubbed the “Golden Voice of India,” his career spans decades with a repertoire that includes timeless hits such as Chand Sifarish, Aaj Unse Milna Hai, Deewangi Deewangi, Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh, Chaar Kadam, Dus Bahane, and Main Hoon Don, among many others.

He has also hosted several music-based reality shows and remains a respected figure in the Indian music industry.

Musician and philanthropist Shehzad Roy is once again making waves and not with his music, but through his powerful advocacy for educational reform in Pakistan.

In a series of heartfelt and inspiringly viral social media posts, Roy has been spotlighting students from the schools run by his nonprofit organization, Zindagi Trust, drawing widespread praise for the confidence, intelligence, and eloquence of the children, especially young girls like Amara, Umaiza, and Khadija.

Roy’s videos often show these students speaking on complex topics with clarity and self-assurance that defy their age. In one viral clip, a student named Amara corrects Roy on his definition of “news,” prompting laughter and admiration across social media platforms. In others, students discuss education, history, and social issues, offering a glimpse into the transformative impact of the Zindagi Trust’s progressive curriculum and learning environment.

“She corrected me, and she was right,” Roy said in one video, smiling proudly. “That’s what education should do—teach children to think critically, to speak up, and to be confident in their knowledge.”

Founded by Roy in 2003, Zindagi Trust has become a beacon of hope in Pakistan’s struggling public education system. The organization takes over government-run schools and revamps them with better infrastructure, trained teachers, a child-friendly curriculum, and a focus on arts, sports, and technology—elements often missing in conventional public schools.

The Current reached out to Roy to learn more about his ongoing work in the education sector, particularly through the initiatives of Zindagi Trust and Durbeen.

“We want to change the paradigm of teacher training in this country,” Roy told The Current. “We’re bringing major changes in government schools and government colleges, and we want people to see and understand the impact.”

To amplify their work, Roy and his team are using satire and storytelling to engage the public. “We’ve incorporated satire in our videos to highlight this in a more relatable way,” he said. “We’ve also created a number of videos featuring children in Geo’s show Chal Parra.”

Looking ahead, the campaign will also include a new song and a film titled Alif Noon, both aimed at capturing attention and generating wider interest in educational reform.

“We’re not preaching, we’re telling stories in an interesting and engaging way,” Roy emphasized, “We’ve already achieved major success in transforming the teaching and education model, and even bigger changes are coming.”

According to Roy, the broader goal is to connect with the public and build momentum for replicating these reforms nationwide. “This campaign is about helping people understand what Zindagi Trust and Durbeen are doing and encouraging them to be part of it.”

Under Roy’s leadership, flagship institutions like Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls School and Fatimah Jinnah Government School have been transformed into model schools. These schools not only provide quality education but also foster critical thinking, gender equality, and creativity.

By showcasing young girls from these schools, Roy is also challenging long-held gender stereotypes and emphasizing the importance of investing in girls’ education. His posts often go beyond showcasing academic excellence, portraying these students as confident individuals capable of independent thought and leadership.

“These girls are proof that when you give children—especially girls—access to quality education, they thrive,” Roy shared in one of his captions. “They’re the future of Pakistan.”

Roy uses his platform not just to celebrate these students but also to advocate for broader education reform. His approach—mixing storytelling with social impact—has earned him widespread recognition both in Pakistan and internationally.

Renowned Pakistani singer and actor Umair Jaswal marked a special milestone in his personal life by introducing his wife to the public on their first wedding anniversary.

The couple is currently on a spiritual journey performing Umrah in Saudi Arabia, and Umair has been sharing heartfelt moments from Mecca and Medina.

Jaswal, who tied the knot for the second time in September 2024 in an intimate ceremony, posted a touching tribute to his wife on social media. Alongside a serene photo of the two, he wrote: “To my wife, you are my shade in the scorching sun. The Rizq I once prayed for. You are the calm in my smile and the peace that fills my heart. May Allah protect you always, and may His divine light always surround us. Happy anniversary, my love. Even eternity will feel too short with you. I love you. Forever yours.”

The singer’s marriage in 2024 came months after his highly publicized divorce from actress Sana Javed. Jaswal and Javed were once considered one of the entertainment industry’s most admired couples. However, their marriage reportedly deteriorated due to Javed’s alleged involvement with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. The controversy intensified when Javed and Malik confirmed their own marriage in January 2024, while reports suggested their relationship began during her marriage to Jaswal.

In an interview after second marriage, Jaswal expressed gratitude for the positive response and support from his fans, who were initially concerned but are now happy for him. Jaswal also emphasized the importance of privacy for himself and his partner, stating his preference for being recognized for his accomplishments rather than his personal life.

“God takes you through a journey and brings you to the right place, and when you reach at the right place, the journey itself makes you appreciate your destination,” he said.

Jaswal shared the news of his second marriage in an Instagram post in October, 2024, while his remarriage remained private until his anniversary post, which has since garnered an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
