He promised to always stand by his son’s side, support him, and love him as a father.

Alongside the heartfelt message, Ali shared photos from the hospital, special family moments, and their journey home with baby Salar.

Many celebrities and fans congratulated the couple. Actress Hira Khan praised Ali, saying he will be a wonderful father, and actress Aiman Khan also sent her best wishes.

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has confirmed reports that he will enter his third marriage, saying he and partner Gauri Spratt will marry in a simple, private ceremony next month.

The 61-year-old actor, who has been in a relationship with Gauri Spratt since late 2023, gave details of the wedding in a recent interview.

Aamir Khan said he will have a modest, registered ceremony at home, attended only by close family and a small circle of friends. He added that they want to keep the event extremely simple and private, and that the wedding is scheduled for July 5.

Confirming their plans, Aamir said he and Gauri now feel ready to take their relationship to the next stage. He also discussed the possibility of a sequel to the blockbuster film 3 Idiots, saying he may begin work with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani after the wedding, though no final details have been announced. He noted that he does not know exactly what Raju has planned and that the characters have moved far ahead in life since the original film.

Aamir Khan publicly confirmed his relationship with Gauri Spratt in March 2025, ending months of speculation about the couple’s future together.

Fans always find it heartwarming to see artists from India and Pakistan together, and a recent viral video featuring Pakistani actress Kubra Khan, veteran Bollywood star Sharmila Tagore, and actress Sara Ali Khan has captured attention.

The clip, shared online during Kubra’s birthday celebrations, shows Kubra seated between Sharmila Tagore and Sara Ali Khan. In a sweet moment, Sharmila scoops dessert from a bowl between them and offers it to Kubra, who accepts with a warm smile and a grateful gesture. Sara, sitting beside her grandmother, claps and enjoys the moment.

The video quickly went viral, with fans on both sides of the border filling the comments with love and admiration. It remains unclear where the gathering took place or what brought the three women together.

Kubra Khan, who turned 33 on June 16, is one of the most popular names on Pakistani television, known for her roles in Noor Jahan, Alif, and Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. She is currently leading the cast of Dr Bahu, directed by Mehreen Jabbar and written by Sanam Mehdi Zaryab.

Pakistani actor Nauman Ijaz has replied to criticism over showbiz earnings after a social media user questioned whether such income is halal or haram.

Known for speaking out on social issues, he said people should look at their own behaviour and mindset before blaming others.

In a YouTube video message sent by a friend, Nauman Ijaz talked about halal and haram and how people understand morality. He noted that while people can distinguish many physical differences—like hot versus cold or bitter versus sweet—the line between lawful and unlawful depends on human conscience, understanding, and personal choice.

He asked why, if people are aware of right and wrong, they still do things they consider improper, arguing the problem is in personal choices, not in awareness.

Following his comments, a social media user asked whether income from the entertainment industry could be halal or haram.

Nauman Ijaz responded that the question reflected a ‘particular mindset’ and told the user to stay happy while also engaging in self-reflection.

His comments reignited debate on social media about the ethics and religious permissibility of showbiz earnings. Some users defended his view, arguing against blanket judgments about any profession, while others continued the debate on the issue.

Nauman Ijaz remains a leading Pakistani television actor, well known for his roles in critically acclaimed drama series.

Fiza Ali, a well-known host and actress in Pakistan’s showbiz industry, recently attended a concert by Indian singer Kumar Sanu in London with her husband.

Short clips from the performance at the iconic Royal Albert Hall have gone viral on social media. In the videos, Fiza can be seen swaying to the music, dancing and affectionately romancing her husband as Kumar Sanu performs on stage—moments captured amid a sea of flashing phones and applause.

The footage has drawn strong reactions online. One user wrote, ‘I feel so bad for the other attendees at the concert.’ Another commented, ‘On their behalf, I apologize to the other participants at the concert.’ A third accused them of staging ‘all this drama just to get people’s attention.’

Pakistani film and television actor Faisal Qureshi was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

A special ‘Tribute’ was organized to celebrate Pakistan’s beloved superstar Faisal Qureshi, presented in collaboration with the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi, and the Lifestyle Journalists Association at Auditorium One.

The event drew a vibrant crowd of artists whose presence and performances added color and warmth to the evening.

The ceremony was attended by numerous film and television luminaries, including legendary actors Mustafa Qureshi, Adnan Siddiqui, Behrooz Sabzwari, Humayun Saeed, Salahuddin Tanio and Shahzad Nawaz; director Saeed; singers Fakhir Mahmood, Hanif Raja and Mirza Ishtiaq Baig; the Consul General of Romania, Tanveer Afridi; as well as Nadeem Jafri and Tipu Sharif. Their heartfelt tributes highlighted Faisal Qureshi’s enduring impact on Pakistani entertainment.

A wonderful musical program further illuminated the night, featuring soulful, melodious performances by Merab Jevin, Nirmila Meghani, Afshan Khan, Shazia Kausar and Shabana Kausar, each delivering songs that deeply resonated with the audience.

At the awards ceremony, Faisal Qureshi was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his outstanding service and exceptional contributions to the showbiz industry. A specially curated showreel charting his artistic journey was screened and met with thunderous applause. The evening also featured a glittering musical program and a spirited comedy night, where artists from film and television delivered brilliant performances that captivated the audience.

The event was presided over by the legendary actor Mustafa Qureshi. Karachi Arts Council President Ahmed Shah praised Faisal, saying, “We have worked together with Faisal Qureshi; we were very close during this production. It felt as if he were working on his own project. From the time he started with Buta, he has shown immense potential and endless versatility — he never stopped after that.

“He has taken on every kind of role and performed each one brilliantly. Faisal is a deeply responsible professional who gives his 100 percent. He does not focus only on himself but also creates ease and support for fellow actors, producers, and directors. He understands in an instant what the director wants. He is not only an excellent actor but also a wonderful human being. I worked very hard to ensure Faisal received his due on merit, and even then he was not yet fifty — I said that should not be an objection. Now that he has crossed fifty, that objection no longer stands. Faisal Qureshi is the cultural capital of Pakistan.”

Mustafa Qureshi, in his address, lauded Faisal Qureshi as more than an outstanding actor — he called him a consummate artist with the vision and talent to direct and present stories in a truly spectacular way. Mustafa urged the government to take stronger measures to encourage and support artists across the country.

Renowned actor Humayun Saeed attributed Faisal’s success to his unwavering discipline, relentless hard work and impeccable punctuality. He held up Faisal as a shining example for the new generation of performers.

Veteran actor Behrooz Sabzwari praised Faisal not only for his craft but for his character, saying that above all titles—actor, doctor, pilot or businessman—the most important quality is to be a good human being. He offered prayers for Faisal’s continued blessings.

Senior artist Salahuddin Tanio described Faisal as a towering creative force, suggesting that characters themselves come alive because of him. Adnan Siddiqui echoed this sentiment, calling Faisal a top‑tier actor who inhabits every role with skill and nuance.

Shahzad Nawaz commended Faisal’s philanthropy and optimistic outlook, arguing that artists of his calibre deserve formal recognition and high honors from the government.

On the occasion, Faisal Qureshi expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi, and the Lifestyle Journalists Association for their warm hospitality. He described the industry as a close‑knit family where colleagues support one another and thanked his senior peers—especially Mustafa Qureshi and Humayun Saeed—for their guidance. The event was hosted by Raheel Baig and Dr. Rafia Rafique.

Senior Pakistani actress Shaista Jabeen has openly criticized senior actor Firdous Jamal’s attitude toward women and said she will never work with him again.

Speaking on a private morning TV show, she said a person’s ego, nature, and upbringing make or break them. She acknowledged that Firdous Jamal is an excellent actor, but added that if a person is not good, their success becomes meaningless.

Shaista Jabeen said she worked with him only once and that experience was enough; she dislikes hearing him speak inappropriately about women.

She also noted that Firdous Jamal has spoken against many senior actors in the past, but those artists will always be remembered for their work and names, and no statement can diminish their status.

Once again the spotlight falls on Pakistani actress Meera after she made a striking claim about past career opportunities.

During promotions for her forthcoming feature Psycho, Meera said she had been offered a major Bollywood part opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The remark set social media ablaze, prompting spirited debate and a flood of trolling and commentary.

Psycho, which Meera is producing herself, is slated to premiere on Eid ul Adha. The film stars Shaan Shahid in the lead, with Meera portraying the title character — a continuation of the strong, central roles she embraced in films like Baaji.

She has been actively appearing on interviews and podcasts as part of an energetic promotional campaign, keeping fans and critics talking.

During a recent Discover Pakistan interview, Meera said she was offered the female lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan in a Yash Chopra film.
She added the role later went to Katrina Kaif in Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

An interesting video of Humayun Saeed, a well-known actor in the Pakistani showbiz industry, traveling in a bus with several famous personalities of the country is going viral on social media.

In a video going viral on social media, Humayun Saeed is seen shouting ‘Pak China, Pak China’ in the traditional style of a bus conductor, while fellow passengers can be seen laughing at his style.

The video was shot on Sunday night while the actor was traveling with other celebrities on a bus from the Pakistan Monument to the Pak China Center after attending the first anniversary celebration of Meerka-e-Haq.

This video is rapidly going viral on social media and Humayun Saeed is being highly praised by fans.

The actor began his showbiz career in 1995 and is now one of the country’s most famous actors.

Now Humayun Saeed also has his own production house called ‘Six Sigma Plus’, which has so far released several successful television serials and commercial films.

The Karachi police briefly detained seven Aurat March activists on Tuesday as they made their way to the Karachi Press Club for a press conference about their ongoing efforts to secure a no-objection certificate (NOC) for a march planned for Sunday.

Among those stopped were veteran dancer and activist Sheema Kermani and Karachi City Council member Shahzadi Rai. The group was released later the same day on the orders of Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar, but the short detention touched off a wave of public protest on X, where many users decried it as a worrying sign of ‘shrinking’ civil liberties.
