“Abuse is Not a Sign of Love,” Feroze Khan’s Second Wife

Feroze Khan’s second wife, Dr. Zainab, has spoken out against the harmful belief that abuse in a marriage is an expression of love. Her message, shared through Instagram, highlights the urgent need to dismantle dangerous narratives that normalize violence against women.

Dr. Zainab revealed that she was deeply disturbed after her sister-in-law forwarded her viral videos from social media. In these clips, a doctor could be seen suggesting that a husband hitting or insulting his wife reflects love and that women should sacrifice their self-respect to keep their marriage intact.

Strongly rejecting these claims, Dr. Zainab called them “harmful, completely wrong, and dangerous.” She emphasized that such views not only misrepresent the essence of love but also risk legitimizing abuse and fueling violence in society.

“Violence and abuse are never signs of love. Real love is shown through respect, care, and kindness, not through control, fear, or humiliation,” she wrote.

Dr. Zainab stressed that psychology never advocates for women to compromise their dignity in order to sustain a marriage. According to her, a healthy relationship thrives on trust, safety, and mutual respect, not on fear or submission.

She further warned that when professionals, such as doctors, publicly endorse such regressive beliefs, it contributes to normalizing violence, which could ultimately worsen the problem in society.

“Suggesting women should compromise their dignity only adds to the pain they already endure. Psychology is about helping people live stronger, safer lives—not justifying abuse,” she concluded.

Sharmila Faruqi Praises Saba Qamar’s Pamaal for Highlighting the Silent Abuse Women Endure in Marriages

Member of the National Assembly Sharmila Faruqi has lauded Saba Qamar’s latest drama, Pamaal, calling it a powerful portrayal of the “invisible wounds” women suffer within the confines of marriage. Faruqi praised the series for fearlessly addressing emotional and psychological abuse; a subject often brushed under the carpet in South Asian households.

According to her, while society condemns physical violence, it still struggles to recognize the devastating effects of “mental control” and “emotional manipulation” the kind of abuse that leaves no visible scars but deeply shatters a woman’s confidence and identity.

In Pamaal, Saba Qamar masterfully brings to life the character of Malika, a woman who chooses love over security, leaving her father’s home in pursuit of happiness. But her dream quickly turns into a nightmare when her husband, Raza (played by Usman Mukhtar), begins to confine her freedom under the guise of love and protection.

The story beautifully captures how affection can morph into control, how care can become coercion. Through its raw and honest depiction, Pamaal challenges societal norms that glorify sacrifice while silencing women’s suffering.

Speaking about the drama, Sharmila Faruqi emphasized that psychological abuse within marriages remains one of the most dangerously overlooked realities of domestic life.

“No woman should be expected to surrender her voice, identity, or dignity to satisfy a partner’s insecurity,” she stated.

Internet in Meltdown as Asim Azhar’s New Song ‘Tere Bin Nahi Lagda’ Sounds Like a Shoutout to Hania!

Asim Azhar is back with a soulful new single, Tere Bin Nahi Lagda, a heartfelt addition to his upcoming independent album Asim Ali, but fans aren’t exactly listening to the melody. Instead, social media is losing its mind over one word that echoes through the track: “Haniyaaa!”

And yes, everyone’s thinking the same thing – that Hania.

The track, inspired by the timeless qawwali vibes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, should have been making waves for its vocals and nostalgia. But fans quickly tuned into what they believe is a subtle, emotional nod to Asim’s past relationship with actress Hania Aamir. Within hours of the release, “Haniyaaa” was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with memes, fan theories, and even lyrical breakdowns flooding the internet.

Some fans insist it’s just a coincidence others are convinced Asim is lyrically haunted by his ex. Either way, the internet is eating it up.

The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Just days before dropping Tere Bin Nahi Lagda, Asim shared a nostalgic Instagram reel showing concert clips, old award moments, and surprise a throwback of him walking the ramp with Hania Aamir. The detective fans who are now connecting dots that may (or may not) exist.

In a now-trending video circulating across social media, the 34-year-old mayor can be seen addressing his campaign team after the election results. But what caught everyone’s attention wasn’t his victory speech, it was a line that cricket lovers instantly recognized. With infectious enthusiasm, Mamdani quoted one of Ramiz Raja’s most iconic phrases:

“To snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”

That one-liner was all it took to set the internet ablaze. The clip quickly made its way to Ramiz Raja himself, who reshared it on X (formerly Twitter), expressing his joy and admiration for the young mayor’s unexpected nod to cricket culture.

Former Pakistan captain and celebrated commentator Ramiz Raja couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. Sharing the video with his followers, he congratulated Mamdani and cheekily praised his “straight bat” approach; a term cricket fans know all too well.

“Many congratulations, Mr. Mamdani, and thank you for being a fan of commentary. You played with a straight bat and exposed those who don’t play cricket. Very proud of you!”

Fans across both Pakistan and the U.S. flooded social media with reactions, applauding Mamdani’s humble tribute to a voice that’s been part of so many iconic cricket moments.
