    Is Emraan Hashmi a Hafiz-e-Quran? Bollywood star responds to rumors

    Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi is known for many things but being religious isn’t one of them.

    For some time now, speculation in Indian media, including on social media, has created the rumor that he is a Hafiz-e-Quran.

    According to Indian media, these rumors started last year when Pakistani actress Humaima Malik mentioned in an interview, “Emraan Hashmi remembered some Quranic verses and used to recite them with me during shootings.”


    However, a few days ago, Emraan Hashmi denied the claims during a podcast, a video of which has gone viral on social media.


    “There is no truth in these claims; it is not like that, and I am not a Hafiz-e-Quran.” The Hindu host then asked him to explain what Hafiz-e-Quran means.


    He replied, “Hafiz-e-Quran means someone who can recite the holy book correctly and accurately without looking at it.”

    Bushra Ansari criticises elitism, addiction following Karsaz tragedy

    The entire country is stunned by the horrific accident involving Natasha, a woman from an influential background. Her over speeding SUV hit a couple of vehicles, injuring five individuals and killing a father, daughter riding on their bike on Monday (August 19).

    Many people believe that while the victims’ families may receive compensation, true justice will not be delivered.

    Renowned actress Bushra Ansari also spoke out against elitism and addiction in response to the tragedy. She criticised the culture in which individuals turn to drugs to deal with their difficulties, claiming that this woman will most certainly avoid justice by being considered mentally sick.

    Bushra also recited a poem by her sister, Neelam Basheer, addressing the accident and urged the elites to seek therapy for their addictions instead of harming innocent people.

    It is, however, unknown whether Natasha was actually under the influence of drugs while driving or not, as the case is underway. She is currently in police custody, and during the previous court hearing, her lawyer deemed her mentally ill and that she had been under medical treatment for the past five years.

    Nine believed dead after plane crashes in Thai jungle

    BANGKOK: Rescuers scoured the Thai jungle on Friday (Aug 23) for nine missing people after a turboprop plane crashed southeast of the capital, Bangkok, though authorities expected no survivors.

    The aircraft went down in the jungle of Chacheongsao province on Thursday, and all on board were believed dead, Thai officials said.

    Nine people – including two pilots and seven passengers – were travelling from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport to Trat province, an area on the Gulf of Thailand known for its beaches, when the plane went down.

    “It happened at around 3:10 pm (4:10 pm, Singapore time). We are trying to find those missing, but we believe that they are all dead,” Chacheongsao governor Chonlatee Yangtrong told reporters at the scene on Thursday.

    According to local media, the passengers comprised four Thais and five Chinese, including two children aged 12 and 13.

    More than 300 military personnel and volunteers have been deployed in the search, and authorities have launched an investigation to identify the cause of the crash.

    They have found some body parts, as well as pieces of the aircraft, authorities said.

    But heavy rainfall is hampering the search.

    “We are not planning to stop until we find them, although there are some waterlogged areas,” Chonlatee said.
