Reham Khan Criticizes Ali Safina’s Podcast

Filmmaker and journalist Reham Khan has strongly criticized actor and host Ali Safina for embarrassing actress and social media influencer Merub Ali with an inappropriate question about Hania Aamir.

Taking to Instagram, Reham shared a video expressing her frustration over the viral moment, questioning whether Ali Safina’s approach was appropriate.

The controversy erupted when Merub Ali appeared as a guest on a podcast. During the conversation, Ali Safina unexpectedly asked, “Does Asim Azhar sing for you?” Before she could respond, he jokingly hummed a lyric from a song, “Ve Hania Ve Dil Jania?”

Merub, visibly surprised, chose to ignore the remark and continued speaking without reacting negatively.

Reacting to the incident, Reham denounced the situation in her video message, saying, “A video clip is going viral where a young girl, who may be a model or actress, is put in an awkward spot. If a boy had been in her place, it might have been different. But making a girl feel uncomfortable by bringing up her partner’s ex-love or romantic past is not funny or laughable.”

She further condemned the act, stating, “Making fun of someone or embarrassing them in this way is not humor, it’s painful.”

Reham also criticized the societal mindset behind such questions, arguing, “If someone had a secret affair or marriage and you joke about it, that’s one thing. But when people have been open about their relationships, our younger generation still tries to embarrass them—even 10 years later. You are subconsciously teaching them hypocrisy, that they should hide things instead of being honest.”

Expressing disappointment, she added, “It’s sad that the British Parliament is acknowledging the achievements of one of the three people you are attacking, while another is just a young girl whom you are trying to humiliate.”

Calling the act shameful, Reham stated, “Asking such questions to a girl is a despicable act. The person who asked it is not too young to know better. The lesson you are giving to the younger generation is wrong.”

She concluded by urging people to reflect on the consequences of such behavior. “This has happened to many people before, including me. But please, don’t do this to the younger generation. Let them be true to themselves—don’t make them like you.”

Javed Miandad’s Iconic Six Ruined His Wedding Day – Aamir Khan

Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, recently shared nostalgic memories of his youth, revealing how Javed Miandad’s iconic six during his first wedding day turned his joy into disappointment.

Aamir said he and Reena decided to secretly get married when he was 21 years old upon resistance from their families. He further shared that when they returned home after their secret wedding, a Pakistan-India cricket match was happening.

Both their families were engrossed in the match, so no one noticed their absence. The actor noted that this was the famous match in Sharjah where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball, leading to India’s defeat. Aamir said that since India was winning the match, he was thrilled, thinking his wedding day would be marked by India’s victory.

However, his happiness turned to disappointment when Javed Miandad hit the six on the final ball, causing India to lose. Aamir shared that he was deeply upset afterward and even mentioned this to Javed Miandad during a meeting.

He jokingly told him, “Javed Bhai, you didn’t do right to me!” Miandad, surprised, asked what he meant, Aamir replied, “You ruined my wedding because you hit that six on the last ball and I was terribly disappointed.”

For context, this match was played on April 10, 1986, in Sharjah, where Pakistan faced India. In the final over, Pakistan needed 10 runs off four balls and on the last ball, with four runs required, Javed Miandad hit a spectacular six off Chetan Sharma’s delivery, not only winning the match but also creating one of cricket’s most iconic moments.

India Eases Ban on Some Pakistani YouTubers, Artists

India has lifted its ban on several Pakistani YouTube channels and social media accounts, allowing Indian audiences to access Pakistani content once again.

Following the Pahalgam incident in illegally Indian-occupied Kashmir, Indian authorities had restricted popular Pakistani platforms and blocked films featuring stars like Fawad Khan and Hania Aamir. Although Hania’s film saw global success, it remained banned in India.

Now that India has quietly removed the ban, many Indian fans have shared their excitement online. One user wrote, “Diljit Dosanjh took the first step, and now everyone’s following.” Another added, “Glad the ban is gone—Pakistani industry should keep raising the bar.”

While viewership of Pakistani dramas had dipped, shows like Mun Mast Malang, Sher, Dayan, and Parwarish still managed to pull in Indian fans. Danish Taimoor’s supporters were especially excited, with one fan commenting, “Now Sher will roar even louder.”

Indian users were surprised to see posts from Pakistani celebrities reappearing in their feeds, suggesting that India unblocked some social media accounts without issuing an official statement.

Stars like Danish Taimoor, Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane, and Yumna Zaidi have had their accounts restored. However, others—such as Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Wahaj Ali, Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed, and Hania Aamir—remain inaccessible to Indian viewers.

Mehwish Hayat, Yo Yo Honey Singh Could Face UK Performance Ban

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.
