Controversial religious figure Mufti Abdul Qavi has once again found himself at the center of public criticism after making yet another bizarre statement, this time claiming that he was once in nikkah with Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Kareena Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses, comes from the iconic Kapoor family and has spent more than two decades at the top of the industry. She is married to actor Saif Ali Khan, and the two are widely recognized as one of Bollywood’s strongest power couples.

But Mufti Abdul Qavi, already infamous for his on-air controversies, strange remarks about female celebrities, and viral scandals involving figures like Qandeel Baloch and Hareem Shah, has now made an extraordinary new claim that has left the internet stunned.

In a recent statement, he alleged that he had a valid nikkah with Kareena Kapoor in 1982, despite the fact that she was born in 1980. He further argued that marriage with Hindus is permissible, bizarrely asserting that Hindus possess a “holy book” called Veer, which he referenced to justify his claim. He went on to say that he later endorsed Kareena’s marriage to Saif Ali Khan and declared that union “valid.”

As expected, social media erupted with disbelief and ridicule.
Users openly questioned his logic and timeline, with one pointing out,
“Kareena was born in 1980. How could she be in your nikkah in 1982?”

Another commented,
“He has lost all credibility. This is why scholars distanced themselves from him.”

Many also criticized his attempt to redefine religious concepts to support his story, calling the explanation “absurd” and “attention-seeking.”

Spotify has finally rolled out its much-anticipated 2025 Wrapped, and the results confirm what Pakistani music fans already knew – Talha Anjum continues to dominate, securing the title of Pakistan’s Top Artist for the second year in a row.

The rapper’s continued reign reflects the country’s growing appetite for original music, with a remarkable surge in streams throughout the year. His grip on the charts also highlights how hip-hop has transformed from a niche genre into one of Pakistan’s most powerful musical movements.

While Anjum led the pack, 2025 was a balanced blend of breakthrough artists and timeless icons. Rising voices like Umair and Hasan Raheem strengthened their presence in Pakistan’s listening culture, while beloved household names, Atif Aslam and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, remained fixtures in playlists nationwide.

The year’s biggest hits mirrored this creative diversity.

• “Jhol” by Maanu and Annural Khalid dominated the charts.
• “Pal Pal” by Afusic and AliSoomroMusic continued its viral momentum.
• “Maand” by Bayaan, Hasan Raheem, and Rovalio secured a top ranking with its distinctive sound.

Meanwhile, Talha Anjum and Umair’s “Departure Lane” cemented a strong position at number four, with “Wishes” by Hasan Raheem, Umair, and Talwiinder rounding out the country’s top five tracks.

Emerging artists clearly played a pivotal role in shaping Pakistan’s audio identity for 2025.

Listeners gravitated toward bold, expressive albums, showcasing Pakistan’s rapidly maturing music culture.
This year’s most-streamed album was Bayaan’s Safar, followed closely by a streak of popular releases from Talha, Umair, and other leading artists:

• My Terrible Mind
• ROCKSTAR WITHOUT A GUITAR
• Open Letter

Music lovers also revisited notable albums from across the spectrum, such as Imran Khan’s Unforgettable, Kaavish’s Gunkali, Hasan Raheem’s Dil Kay Parday, and film soundtracks like Atif Aslam & Sajjad Ali’s Bol.

Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped came with fresh additions designed to make users’ musical memories more interactive.
Features like Wrapped Party, Listening Archive, and Listening Age gave fans a creative way to explore how their music tastes evolved throughout the year.

Javeria Saud has finally addressed the buzz surrounding a resurfaced story shared by senior actress Sangeeta, in which she spoke about an alleged past link between Javeria’s husband, actor Saud Qasmi, and Meera.

The controversy began after a clip from Sangeeta’s recent TV appearance went viral online. In the video, the veteran filmmaker narrated an old incident from the days of a film shoot, claiming she had once gone to Saud’s home to find out why he was late to set. She recalled that Saud kept glancing toward a pile of clothes in a corner, where, according to her, Meera was supposedly hiding.

Sangeeta further claimed that Meera didn’t want Saud to work with fellow actress Resham, which created tension on the film’s set.

As the clip circulated widely, it quickly turned into a social-media frenzy, prompting a direct reaction from Javeria Saud. The television star took to her Instagram Story and issued a sharp statement defending her husband and shutting down the narrative.

“Applause for you for pretending to be innocent while pulling out old, irrelevant stories just to tarnish a family man’s respect. That’s a real talent,” Javeria wrote.

She added that attempts to create drama around her marriage would not succeed, saying their bond remains rooted in “trust, love, and mutual respect,” leaving no room for sensational claims meant to attract attention.

Javeria and Saud, who tied the knot in 2005, are parents to two children, Jannat and Ibrahim. Despite the noise online, Javeria made it clear that such rumours hold no power over her family’s unity.
