Governenmet Issues Warning to 58 Shopping Malls Over Hidden Trial Room Cameras

The incidents of peeps, pervs, and hidden cameras have increased in a surprising number in recent days. Women have to be extra careful and attentive, as well as children while changing in trial rooms.

Levis Reveals the Real Story Behind Hidden Camera Controversy!

However, this is not the only case to have happened. Another incident took place in Karachi in a brand’s outlet located in Clifton when a woman was in the trail room and noted some shuffling behind her through the mirror. Upon investigating, an employee had been hiding inside a cupboard!

While taking notice of the Faisalabad issue, the Government of Punjab assembled a 6-members team to inspect trial rooms in malls. The team inspected 58 shops and drafted a report, as result, it was found that all 58 shops had CCTV camera placed near women’s try room deliberately!

During the inspection, there were holes detected in walls of the trial rooms and complex ceiling structures were also found which could perfectly be used for installing the hidden cameras.

The outlets have been instructed to improve the structure of the women’s room and to take precautionary measures so that such incidents can be prevented in the near future. All shop owners have been warned against strict actions and consequences.

Lux Style Awards 2018: Best & Worst Dressed Celebrities!

The event of the year, Lux Style Awards 2018 were held last night in Lahore, it was a star-studded affair and truly a night to remember! Celebrities, models, and people from the fashion and entertainment industry dressed to impress. From classy gowns to dapper suits the night was full of glitz and glamour.

Check out who made it to Brandsynario’s list of best-dressed celebrities at the LSA 2018! 

Ayesha Omar

Just returning from NewYork, the actress dazzled in this gold gown easily becoming the star of the night!

Sanam Saeed & Adnan Malik

The Cake cast looked uber chic at the LSA! We absolutely love the powder pink gown on Sanam Saeed.

Amna Baber

Supermodel Amna Baber rocked the monochrome gown at the red carpet. Congratulations to the beauty on bagging the best model award too!

Sadaf Kanwal

The model looked absolutely stunning in a cold shoulder blue, silk ensemble by Zaheer Abbas.

Mahira Khan

The diva ditched a western styled gown and opted for traditional attire. Khan kept it classy in this Faraz Manan ensemble and a sleek hairdo!

Mathira

We loved this regal maroon dress by Mansoor Akram Couture that Mathira adorned for the night.

While some truly stood out from the rest, other celebrities didn’t quite ‘wow’ us with their choice of attire for the night and looked just ‘meh’. 

Hamza Ali Abbasi

We’d like to see Abbasi in something else apart from his signature Black shalwar kameez!

Ahad Raza Mir

The uber-hot newcomer has already stolen the hearts of ladies across the country, but we’re not sure we could say the same for his choice of clothing!

Urwa Hocane

Going for the extra ‘oomph’ factor but sadly, the elder Hocane sister wasn’t quite able to pull off this shimmery sheer-back outfit by Mohsin Naveed Ranjha.

Aamna Sheikh

The Cake actress was dressed in a silver-grey ensemble which in our case had too much going on due to the bling and the frilly bottom. Is it just us, or does the front half resemble a chandelier?

Worst Dressed Celebrities At the Lux Style Awards

Mawra Hocane

Sahifa Jabbar

Winning the award for the best emerging talent of the year. She chose to send out a powerful message through her outfit however, we expected the model turned actress to have a better choice in the wardrobe department.

Is that a skirt over a skirt?!! We’re pretty sure the fashion police can’t let go of those shiny red boots!

Meera

Veteran actress Meera-ji didn’t quite surprise us with her choice of attire this time around either! The charcoal grey ensemble had too much going on!

Hadiqa Kiani

The grey overall resembling dress was a big NO-NO and too plain for an event like the LSA’s.

Ali Xeeshan

The quirky designer definitely stood out from the rest, we’re not sure it was in a good way. The bird’s nest on his head has us confused, was it a bird show he was attending in a bathrobe?

Amna Ilyas

The dusky beauty didn’t quite meet the mark in the sheer olive gown by Fahad Hussayn she chose for the night. Better luck next time?

Which of the looks of the night did you love or hate? Let us know in the comments below.

India and Pakistan might forever be involved in rounds of heated politics and cross-border tensions. But this cold war will never be able to break down the strong cultural bonding between its artists.

Despite the ban on Pakistani celebrities working in India, there are some Bollywood titans that continue to respect our superstars and shower them with love.

Sidharth Malhotra is one such B-town big-wig who always expresses good thoughts about Pakistani stars.

He has won hearts of his fans in Pakistan countless times for holding out an olive branch.

Recently in an interview with Bollywood Life, Malhotra sent an uber adorable shout-out to FK in the middle of an interview.

While lovingly responding to a tweet of a Pakistani fan, Sidharth waved for Khan and said:

“Fawad Ko Mera Hi Bolna( Give my regards to Fawad) We keep texting each other and yes, we are in touch”

Samsung Galaxy S9 Official-Looking Renders Leaked on Social Media!

Samsung Galaxy S9 rendered pictures have leaked online, and they look very original! The pictures reveal, which can probably be the next flagship from Samsung!

The company plans to finally unveil the mystery of the S9 and S9+ at MWC which is to be held in MWC in Barcelona, Spain, in pictures and renders, so we might just have hit jackpot!

FinWire shared several pictures of a phone which they think might be the new Samsung Galaxy S9. By looking at the images, we can see that the potential device might have 2 stereo speakers.

As reported by VentureBeat, the main 12-megapixel cameras on both phones will be able to mechanically switch between f/2.4 and the new f/1.5.

The website also has more rendered images of the S9 in its possible colors, which are at this point rumored to be black, coral blue, and lilac.

As of now, these renders are the most official-looking images of the Samsung Galaxy S9 which have surfaced on the internet.

The Galaxy S9 will reportedly have the Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 5.8-inch display just like the Galaxy S8.

The larger Galaxy S9+ will be a bit more different than usual this year, bolstering 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage alongside its 6.2-inch display. The phone will also have a dual-camera system.

The official Samsung Galaxy S9 will be unveiled on 25th February 2018!

Reham Khan Slammed by Social Media for Slandering Imran Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan’s third marriage with Bushra Maneka has grabbed headlines globally.

The politician has now found himself in the eye of a social media storm as the news of his wedding with the mother of 5 and his spiritual leader drew some serious ire.

imran-khan-third-marriage imran-khan-third-marriage Of course, the cricketer’s ex-wife, Reham Khan was bound to roll out her two cents in this regard and as predicted her statement has sparked a blazing controversy.

Finally breaking her silence, Reham told the publication:

”imran Khan was in contact with Bushra three years ago when I was his wife and he is not the truthful man”

Khan also accused Imran of lying about their marriage date:

  “i knew they married on 1 January, and he revealed it later, this is exactly what he did after marrying me and then announcing after two months”

She blamed the PTI chairman for deceiving Pakistan and the ideology of his party.

“Mr Khan is my ex but he is disrespecting Pakistan, indulging in affairs even when he was married with me. This move is the fragmentation of PTI.”

Soon after the interview got published, Reham further verified her claims in this tweet!

The internet was quick to react to her controversial statements and posted a throwback to her earlier tweets about the politician.

Fans reminded her of the time she herself had vouched for Imran Khan’s honesty and high morals.

Dating back two years when she was married to IK, Reham had claimed the politician to be righteous and loyal to Pakistanis.

Keyboard warriors lashed out at the lady for slandering her ex-husband

PTI fans turned cold war interrogators and asked some valid questions from Reham! 

And they are seriously questioning the veracity of her claims!

Clearly, people are finding it hard to believe her accusations about Kaptaan!

So what is the real truth and how will Reham Khan respond next? Let’s wait and watch!

Snapchat Update will Make Haters Fall in Love Again!

Snapchat’s redesign was the worst thing that could have happened to both users and the application!

Not only are Snacpchat fans hating it, the company has no intentions to switch back to the old redesign, despite the petition!

However, to calm the nerves of the emotional youth, the application has yet another update where the developers are trying their best to correct what went wrong!

This time around, they focused on fixing the most-hated parts of the app so that users can once again enjoy the feel which they once did.

The update will allow people to look at different tabs on each page: friends with active stories and groups chats will appear on a page, with publishers, creators and the community separated in the discover tab.

 

 The new update also allows users to experiment with new fonts, animated stickers, and this time around, they can also include GIFs in their Snap Stories as well!

How to Add Animated Stickers in Snapchat

  • Take a snap.
  • Press the Stickers button in the toolbar, it kinda looks like a folded over piece of paper.
  • Search for a snap or pick one from the GIPHY collection to see all the animated GIFs in one place.
  • Tap to add it. Drag to rearrange.

PS Animated stickers and GIFs also work with video snaps!

Snapchat said the feature will be rolling out “soon” on iOS, and coming to Android “in the coming weeks”.

What do you think about Snapchat’s counter?

Google Takes Away the ‘View Image’ Option

Go to Google, type in your image search, find one you like, click, view image and save. Done.

Well, not anymore!

Now search engine users will get the option to ‘visit website’ where they can expect to wait for the page to load, scroll down to the image and then be faced with the option to right click, or not, as some websites are now revoking that privilege too.

What is behind the change?

Does it tie in with their new multi-year global licensing deal with Getty Images for usage rights within various products and services? A tweet from Google Search Liaison (@SearchLiaison) addresses some of the questions regarding their reasons:

“For those asking, yes, these changes came about in part due to our settlement with Getty Images this week (see also The Verge). They are designed to strike a balance between serving user needs and publisher concerns, both stakeholders we value.”

The tweet directs followers toward an article by The Verge, which notes that

“Google has long been under fire from photographers and publishers who felt that image search allowed people to steal their pictures, and the removal of the view image button is one of many changes being made in response.”

The report then goes on to mention the importance of driving traffic to the websites.

“The intention seems to be either stopping people from taking an image altogether or driving them through to the website where the image is found, so that the website can serve ads and get revenue and so people are more likely to see any associated copyright information.”

Indian Brand Trolls Imran Khan!

Indian dairy giant, Amul seems to be targeting Pakistan in its latest advertisements. The largest food making company recently took a dig at Pakistan not just once but twice! The tweets sent out by Amul have definitely created an uproar on the Internet.

The cricketer turned politician Imran Khan’s third marriage with Bushra Maneka has been worldwide news. Not only were Pakistanis trolling Khan for it but Indian dairy brand, Amul rolled out an advert targeting Imran Khan, cashing in on the viral news in Pakistan.

The picture shows an animated version of Imran Khan and his new wife and a question that reads,

“Still bowling a maiden over?”

The picture further reads,

“Amul, wedded to bread!”

Indian Dairy Giant, Amul Takes a Dig at Imran Khan!

The tweet went viral over the internet and was shared a number of times on Twitter and other social media forums.

However this was not the first post where Amul targeted Pakistan. In a recent picture posted by the dairy brand’s creative team, they went on to the extent of calling Pakistan as ‘Pakishaitan’. 

The compulsion behind the horrendous post came after a group of terrorists attacked the Sunjuwan army camp and the CRPF camp in Srinagar’s Karan Nagar area.

The cartoon was tweeted with the caption

“The cowardly attacks on our borders continue!”

Amul Takes a Jibe at Pakistan! 

The cartoon picture is titled Pakishaitan and shows the Indian army fighting against the terrorists. It further states, ‘Amul: for trustworthy neighbours’ taking a direct hit towards Pakistan.

Fake News About Mandarin Becoming Official Language in Pakistan Creates an Uproar on Social Media

In the era of breaking news and getting the juiciest scoop to audiences, media houses sometimes twist news reports which then result in ‘fake news’.

A similar case has been reported by Abb Takk News who have claimed that the Pakistani Senate has approved a motion to declare Mandarin as one of the official languages of Pakistan.

The tweet that created the buzz over the Internet mentions the Chinese Language being declared as the official language!

The motion, on the other hand, was completely different and highly misreported by the news channel.

The resolution moved was as follows: 

“The House recommends that, in view of the growing collaboration between Pakistan and China under the CPEC, courses of the official Chinese Language should be launched for current and prospective Pakistani CPEC human resource in order to overcome and costly communication barriers.”

However, the Abb Takk tweet created havoc on Twitter and reactions began pouring in from Pakistanis and a few people across the border joined in too!

 

Pakistani actress Armeena Rana Khan also shared her thoughts on the strange news!

Twitterverse was outraged at the idea!

However, people soon caught on to the truth and the actual resolution was posted!

Former Pakistani Cricketer’s Son Commits Suicide After Rejection

Teenage years are known to be the most complicated when the individual is depressed, become rebellious, and makes hasty decisions on an emotional basis.

One such incident is of former cricketer Aamer Hanif’s son, Muhammad Zaryab, who committed suicide after being dropped from Pakistan U-19, because he was 19+, he was also declared as ‘average’ player.

According to Zaryab’s father, the lad was depressed after his dropping and was not able to handle the news well. The first-year student decided to end his life by hanging himself.

“My son was pressurized, he was told he was overage. The coaches’ behavior towards him forced him [to kill himself],” said Hanif, as he pleaded for “other such sons to be saved” from ‘such [non-cooperative] environment’, added Hanif.

https://youtu.be/cP3ZS3xaB4k

Hanif also mentioned that Zaryab was playing for the U-19 earlier last month in a tournament in Lahore, but was sent home with an excuse of an injury, despite Zaryab claiming the injury is not too serious and he can continue to play.

Prayers for the deceased will be offered today.

 

Salman Khan Faces Backlash For Supporting Pakistani Singers Over Indian Artists

Salman Khan has never shied away to show his love and devotion towards Pakistan!

Despite cross-border tensions between both the neighbors, the Dabangg hero has remained his stance on maintaining peace!

Countless times in his various interviews, Khan has supported our nation and even condemned the ban on Pakistani stars working in India.

However, his pro-Pakistani statements and views always drew ire from Indian critics who label him a ‘traitor’ for promoting talent from Pakistan in his movie.

Recently, Salman has found himself in the eye of a social media storm for replacing Arijit Singh with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in  ‘Welcome To New York’

Over years, there has been a rumored cold war between the Tubelight star, and the singer. It is said it was Salman that led to the removal of Arijit’s already recorded songs from movies like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Tubelight, and Kick.

The tussle has now been revived with a new song in Welcome To New York. Sallu Bhai has ordered that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan should sing the tune instead of Singh

There is an outpour of hate on Indian twitter over Salman Khan regarding the matter!

Angry fans are even abusing Salman Khan for harboring a soft corner for Pakistanis

Earlier in an interview, popular Indian singer Babul Supriyo bashed Salman Khan for his preference of Pakistani artists over those of his own nation.

“I am also not sure why Atif got to sing Dil Diya Gallan when Arijit could have done a much better job. The FM stations played the song galore, while news channels announced the name of our soldiers martyred by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists”

Well, Supriyo is clearly jealous! Clearly, Pakistani singers have put him out of business and he is unhappy about it.

Civil Hospital Doctor Beaten by Nurses Over Harassment Claims

There are no words to describe how low have some people fallen, even after Zainab’s incident went international, and campaigns were conducted, there are still people who are using their authority and thinking they can get away with harassment.

One such example is a Civil Hospital doctor, who was beaten up by nurses, in Mirpurkhas for sexually assaulting them and for physical abuse.

The nurses also said that he used to blackmail them via text messages and sent inappropriate messages too. The nurses also mentioned that they are being pressurized and need protection by the police.

One of the nurses claimed that the doctor had been going on with this behavior with her and the other nurses in the OT for a week, including sending messages with threats. When she confronted him, he had physically abused her.

However, the doctor claims that he had done no such thing, instead, he had asked them to not put on make in the OT to which they had ‘attacked’ him.

That’s not all, the nurse also shared that the doctor had previously abused a patient as well in the past and he has a history of such unacceptable behavior. Hospital documents show that back in 2014, the doctor was accused of sexual harassment.

Upon investigation by the hospital authorities, found guilty of engaging in inappropriate behavior with a woman. He was then ordered to be dismissed, in a notification issued by the hospital chief secretary.

However, he got away because of the ‘influential’ authority. Minister of Health Dr. Sikandar Mandhro, taking notice of the incident, said if found guilty, the doctor would be handed out the strictest punishment.

“In this profession [of serving humanity], such [behavior] is unacceptable. We will ensure [if found guilty] he will be given the strictest punishment,” Dr. Mandhro told Geo News. He further stated  “we are answerable”, to the doctor’s return despite guilty status.

Five Women Who Made Oscars History

The 90th Academy Awards honoring the best films of 2017 will be held Sunday, March 4, 2018. Women are expected to take center stage at this edition following the various harassment and discrimination scandals currently shaking up Hollywood, notably since the Weinstein revelations broke. Here are five women who have made their mark on Oscars history since the prestigious US movie industry awards began in 1929.

Hattie McDaniel

In 1940, at the 12th edition of the Oscars, Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American actress to win a golden gong for her supporting role in “Gone With the Wind.” It wasn’t until 2002 that an African-American actress won for a leading role, when Halle Berry scooped “Best Actress” for “Monster’s Ball.”

Jane Fonda

In 1979, the actress — known for her stance against the Vietnam War — won her second Oscar for “Coming Home,” a movie about the trauma experienced by US soldiers returning home. When accepting the award, Jane Fonda used sign language in her speech.

Eight years later, the “Best Actress” Oscar went to Marlee Matlin, a deaf actress who played a deaf-mute character in “Children of a Lesser God.” Her victory was greatly applauded, notably by fellow nominees Jane Fonda, Sissy Spacek, Kathleen Turner and Sigourney Weaver.

Kathryn Bigelow

In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow made Oscars history as the first woman to win the Academy Award for “Best Director” for “The Hurt Locker.” “Well, the time has come,” announced Barbra Streisand as she opened the envelope to reveal the winner’s name.

Patricia Arquette

The Most Popular Filming Locations Around the World

When it comes to the most popular filming locations in the biz, there’s one city that gets more screen time over others. If you guessed “the concrete jungle where dreams are made” as described so succinctly by Jay Z, you guessed correctly.

After combing through 20 years’ worth of data on the IMDb database, insurance comparison website GoCompare came up with lists of the most popular filming locations around the world.

With 3,630 films and TV shows shot along iconic destinations like Fifth Avenue and Central Park, Manhattan tops the category of “area” followed by Hollywood, California (3,262), and Brooklyn (2,608 times).

The city that’s most romanticized on the big and little screens? That distinction also goes to Manhattan which, according to IMDb, has served as the setting for the greatest number of romance films or TV series. Think rom-com classics like “Serendipity” “You’ve Got Mail” and the cult TV series that made Manhattan the show’s fifth character, “Sex and the City.”
Other genres that are popular in Manhattan include drama, action, biography, documentary, fantasy, musical and mystery.

With 231 movies under its belt, Central Park is the top filming location overall, with supporting roles in Hollywood blockbusters like “The Devil’s Advocate,” “Superman Returns,” “Spider-Man 3” and “John Wick.”

Given the breadth of stories that come out of New York, it’s not surprising that the list of top 10 filming locations is dominated by the neighborhoods and boroughs of the city: After Central Park, the list is occupied by Greenwich Village, Astoria, Williamsburg, Coney Island, Times Square and Harlem.

It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrrrr! 📷 @cristihancu #TravelAwesome
