British MP Manuela Perteghella has urged the UK Home Office to investigate Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat and Indian singer Yo Yo Honey Singh for their roles in the music video Jatt Mehkma, which she claims glorifies violence. The Home Office is reportedly considering banning both from entering the UK.

The controversial video, filmed in the UK and released in November, ends with Hayat’s character and four minors firing replica weapons at a group of men. The video, produced by a UK-based company, was shot at Eastnor Castle and Birmingham city centre, and has amassed nearly 40 million views on YouTube.

Sources familiar with the matter said officials are concerned about the use of imitation firearms and the exposure of minors to violent imagery. The BBC Asian Network has since removed the track from its playlists.

Mehwish Hayat, known internationally for Ms. Marvel, rejected the reports as speculative and misleading. Honey Singh has not commented, and the Home Office has yet to issue a formal statement.

The UK Home Office and West Midlands Police have declined to comment, and no legal steps have been announced yet. Following the controversy, the BBC Asian Network has reportedly dropped Jatt Mehkma from future playlists.

The Swat River, once a symbol of peace and natural beauty, turned into a scene of unimaginable horror this past Friday as at least 11 tourists drowned in a sudden and violent flash flood. The heartbreaking Swat river incident, which unfolded near Mingora at around 8am, was captured in videos that flooded social media — showing helpless tourists stranded on a shrinking riverbank, calling for help that never came.

As news spread, so did a wave of shock, sorrow, and outrage, echoing not just from the public but from some of Pakistan’s most prominent celebrities, actors, and athletes; their grief was accompanied by sharp criticism of the failure in emergency response, with many calling the tragedy a result of institutional negligence.

A Nation Grieves Swat River Incident, While Questions Mount

What could have been a joyful escape into Swat’s famed mountains became a scene of despair, as 17 individuals, including women and children, were swept away by the river’s sudden surge. As stunned bystanders filmed from the banks, rescue teams were nowhere to be seen for hours. This delay — and the lack of safety protocols — has drawn strong condemnation from public figures.

Singer and activist Hadiqa Kiani took to Instagram, visibly shaken. Her words struck a chord: “We need leadership. We need systems. This so-called system failed you.” She condemned the lack of warnings, preparedness, and rescue infrastructure, calling the loss of life “unforgivable.”

Actor Hira Mani offered a poetic but piercing lament: “A river that once sang songs of peace now roars with sorrow.” She reminded followers that this wasn’t just nature’s wrath — it was “a human tragedy ignored.” Her call to action was clear: speak, share, donate, help — “Not tomorrow. Not later. Now.”

Sports Icons Add Their Voices

The tragedy struck a nerve in the world of sports as well. Shahid Afridi, Pakistan’s former cricket captain, expressed his anguish on X (formerly Twitter), accusing authorities of failing the people: “The innocent people who drowned remained helpless… those responsible had other priorities.”

Naseem Shah, one of the country’s rising cricket stars, shared a heartfelt prayer for the victims: “My heart aches for every life lost… May Allah grant them strength and mercy.” He urged followers to remember the victims in their prayers, reposting his message to keep the conversation alive.

Celebrities across film and television echoed a collective cry of heartbreak. Mawra Hocane simply wrote: “Oh God have mercy,” while Yasir Hussain called it what many were thinking: “Sad, sad, sad.”

Zara Noor Abbas and Aiman Khan issued reminders of caution, urging followers to avoid rivers during monsoon season and to be more aware of weather conditions. Yashma Gill went further, describing the tragedy as “heartbreaking” and calling for awareness and accountability.

Pakistan’s beloved morning show host Nida Yasir has confirmed that a plotline in the hit TV serial Jannat Se Aagay was actually based on her own life.

The drama, which starred Kubra Khan and Ramsha Khan, was praised for its portrayal of ambition, fame, and the emotional toll of the spotlight. Centered around the life of a morning show host navigating personal and professional storms, Jannat Se Aagay struck a deep chord with audiences — and now we know why. It was rooted in truth.

When Drama Mirrors Nida Yasir Real Life

Among the many memorable scenes in the show, one stood out for its shocking realism: the protagonist, Jannat, discovers that her housemaid and assistant has been stealing valuables and hiding them away. This tense and emotional moment left many viewers shaken — and now, it turns out, it wasn’t just fiction.

Speaking candidly, Nida Yasir revealed that the scene was drawn directly from her own experience. Years ago, when her son Balaj was still young, Nida had hired a Filipino maid to help manage the household while she returned to hosting her daily live show. What began as a routine arrangement soon took a sinister turn.

Over time, Nida noticed that household items were mysteriously disappearing. Her suspicions led her to investigate, and eventually, she made a startling discovery: the maid had stolen three full suitcases worth of valuables. When Nida went to retrieve them from the maid’s residence, she found countless stolen items from her own home — just like Jannat did in the drama.

Art Imitates Life

This revelation offers a powerful perspective on the drama’s emotional depth and authenticity. Jannat Se Aagay wasn’t just a story of a woman battling the toxicity of fame — it was, in part, Nida Yasir’s personal reality transformed into scripted art.

While many had speculated that the drama might be loosely inspired by morning show culture, this confirmation brings new appreciation for the show’s nuance and grit. The experience of betrayal, particularly from someone you trust inside your home, is traumatic — and Nida’s decision to share her truth has only added to her credibility as a public figure who doesn’t shy away from vulnerability.

As fans revisit the series, they’ll likely see it with fresh eyes, knowing that behind the glitz and scripted lines, was the real heartbreak and strength of a woman who lived it first.
