Shah Rukh Khan Twinning With Sahir Lodhi in this Photoshoot is Unbelievable!

Sahir Lodhi is often called the Pakistani Shahrukh Khan, for his looks and flair in acting which is highly similar to the King of Bollywood.

Lodhi however, does not like being compared to SRK and has previously responded to people who say he has an obsession with the Baadshah!

However this time around, in a twist of fates, SRK’s latest photo shoot with Daboo Ratnani for 2018 calendar has caused quite a stir amongst the Pakistani social media enthusiasts.

For those who are die-hard SRK fans, it’s quite difficult to process it but the picture will make you doubt yourself too.

Khan shockingly does resemble our very own Sahir Lodhi!

In case you didn’t quite get it the first time, here’s another picture in color! 

We wonder why SRK agreed to this smokey eye look for the annual shoot!

This isn’t the first time that Sushma Swaraj helped citizens from both sides of the border. She is known to use social media as a powerful weapon to especially connect to Pakistanis and help them out.

Facebook will Let Readers Decide if a News is Fake or Not!

In Facebook’s war to stop fake news from spreading like wildfire on its social media platform, the team is working day and night to come up with solutions on how to reduce the spreading of hoax!

However, its very unfortunate that not all fake news and be detected and removed immediately, so as a solution the team has decided to once again change the algorithm of the news feed.

This time, all the posts from the pages you follow will not appear on the feed, instead, the individual will have to manually search for the page in the search bar, and will have to access the page in order to views their posts.

However, this sudden changed has really pissed off publishers, as their reach and visibility of the content has dropped to almost half, affecting thousands of businesses across the world.

In a post on Friday afternoon, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the new strategy as a “big change” and a “major update” that will ultimately lower the percentage of news inside News Feed from 5% to 4%.

“The hard question we’ve struggled with is how to decide what news sources are broadly trusted in a world with so much division, We decided that having the community determine which sources are broadly trusted would be most objective.”

The move has potentially disproportionately benefit publications that publish less contentious news and shy away from covering subjects like politics or race. On the other hand, by surveying users, Facebook is hoping to avoid claims of censorship and bias by punting one of the existential questions facing the future of the platform to its users.

What do you think about Facebook’s approach to tackle fake news?

Ayeza Khan Shuts Down Internet Troll After Malicious Rumor!

The life of a celebrity is full of glitz and glamour, however, people often forget they too have a personal life and they too have feelings just like any normal person. Pakistani actress, Ayeza Khan recently fell victim to a malicious rumor that was spread by one of Khan’s so-called, fan and well-wisher.

Khan is known to be one who is a modest dresser and does not believe in showing skin for any of her commercials, photo shoots or TV shows.

A crazy fan photoshopped Ayeza Khan and husband Danish Taimoor’s faces on a Tiger Zinda Hai picture. 

It didn’t end with just one photoshopped picture, the account then posed as the real Ayeza Khan and posted the following on the Instagram account.

“hello, everyone I want to reveal that Rayyan is not my baby he is a adopted child! And because i love my fans I want to tell this to everyone as I don’t want to hide anything.”

The extent to which people can go to tarnish a celebrity’s reputation and stardom is absolutely appalling!

However, Ayeza Khan took to her official Facebook page to clear up the confusion caused by this rumor. She was hurt by the shocking statements being spoken about her.

In a long status, Ayeza talked about why she chose to keep her pregnancy a ‘hushed’ matter which may have given rise to such accusations by people who want to hurt her.

She named the fake account, ‘Ayezakhan.ak2375’ that had posted the status while pretending to be the real Ayeza Khan.

Her loyal fans and followers supported her through this terrible ordeal and wished her the best!

Indus Motor Company Suspends Two Dealerships; Fines One!

In an unfortunate state of events, Indus Motor Company (IMC) also known as Toyota Pakistan has reportedly suspended two of its dealerships, and has fined a third.

The company is reported to have taken this decision after the suspended dealerships were found selling cars under unfavorable money dealing. The fined dealership was also caught and was fined with PKR 2mn.

According to sources, Toyota IMC has suspended the registration of Toyota Sargodha Motors and Toyota HN Motors and has fined Toyota Garden Motors. Officials of Toyota HN Motors spoke with the PakWheels team, admitting they got suspended.

Earlier, the dealership was suspended for 2 months in November 2017. The source added;

“We are receiving a lot of orders from our esteemed customers, but we are in peril due to not booking and getting cars from Toyota.” – Toyota HN Motors.

However, Toyota Garden Motors has denied the news of being fined a sum of PKR 2 million by IMC. Indus Motor Company is yet being awaited to further comment on the situation at hand.

Earlier, IMC had canceled a large number of bookings and had compensated the customers who had book a car for themselves. In this process, the company has refunded almost PKR 600 million to individuals all across Pakistan.

PSL Franchises Have Failed to Pay Dues!

Pakistanis are head-over-heel fans of cricket! No other sport appeals to the nation like the ‘gentle man’s sport’. The love for cricket broke all norms and hurdles which came in the way of creating our own league, Pakistan Super League.

However, with a heavy heart, we have to say this, PSL 3 (2018) might not happen after all and is probably going to be called off. This is because all of the franchises, excluding Quetta Gladiators, have failed to pay their dues!

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) gave an update on which was expected to be the biggest sports event to take place in Karachi and Lahore, however, the news that came from the board was heartwrenching.

Quetta Gladiators Fulfilled the Commitment!

Quetta Gladiators was the first team to clear all financial dues ahead of the latest PSL edition. It is also the only franchise to have completed all their dealings with the cricket board since the starts of PSL’16.

A spokesman for the team had to say;

“While we can’t comment on the other franchises and whether they have cleared their dues with the PCB or not, the Quetta Gladiators has always cleared all dues well before the deadline.”

PCB also gave their statement, clarifying and accepting that the franchise has always delivered what they promised, before deadlines. One of the officials from the board had to say the following;

“Yes, Quetta Gladiators, owned by famous business tycoon Nadeem Omar, has been the most punctual and consistent among all the PSL franchises and have been fulfilling all their commitments so far.”

The official also revealed a couple of details about the third installment of the league. They also added that the board is facing a lot of financial issues because the other franchises have failed to meet the deadlines set. They said;

“It is, indeed, true that the PCB is facing a major financial crisis due to the non-payment of dues by five of the PSL franchises that has put the third edition of the popular league in doubt.

Urgent meetings have been called to deal with the grim situation and the Board is looking at various ways and means to salvage it.”

PSL Franchises on ‘Overdue Payment’

On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi’s team states that the team has paid off all their dues, and there is no amount pending. The franchise’s media wing had to say;

Peshawar Zalmi would like to clarify that we on our part have cleared all the necessary fees and payments (including taxes) with PCB and no payments remain in balance.

The other teams have not made any official statements as of yet.

PCB’s Response

According to statements, PCB is currently under a lot of pressure because of the lack of funds. As an update status, the board stated that now 3 teams have paid full dues, whereas 2 are still lacking behind. The franchise that paid partial amount needs time for another payment of $600,000.

Sources have highlighted that the overdue of payments is the result of the lack of interest sponsors and their interest in the franchises. PSL is not getting enough media coverage as promised, which has concerned the investors.

However, according to PCB chairman, Najam Sethi, the show must go on! His tweet was a subtle reply to all the controversy of whether the series will take place or not.

What do you think will be the fate of PSL 3?

This Hilarious Webseries Has Taken the Internet by Storm!

Kenwood’s latest webisode series has raised the bar establishing itself as the leading brand in Pakistan in the category of home and kitchen appliances.

Taking on an innovative approach, the brand’s initiative in the industry through the digital web series is making waves on social media with its second episode of ‘Middle Se Ooper’ campaign.

MIDDLE SE OOPER SERIES KICKSTARTS WITH A BANG WITH ITS PILOT EPISODE

The first webisode introduces us to the Mujahid family as they move into their brand new house and deal with their novel and contemporary lifestyle.

With a new locality, there were also bound to be some new ( interesting ) neighbors to deal with – enter Hira! We are introduced to the cool and full-of-life neighbor, who helps the family decide on what to do with some of their ‘antique’ furniture.

Here’s Why Kenwood’s ‘Middle Se Ooper” Webisode Series is a Must Watch!

No desi family is complete without a nosy maid!

Just then we see that Erum is a little different from the regular maids the family has had before. Not only does she know about the latest pop culture, but she can also hold her own in just about any conversation even if it’s about Game of Thrones.

However, with Erum being as modern as she is, her salary expectations are also just as advanced and cause a slight clash between the mother and her. Meanwhile,  the rest of the family is hooked on her charm and see no issues with the rates that she has quoted.

When the matriarch of the household takes Erum to the side, we are all lead to believe that things will end negatively. However, we then find out that the mother has gone on to successfully negotiate with Erum, not being charmed by her as much as the rest of the clan.

This now means that we will be seeing Erum return in future episodes. Given her chemistry, with the cast, this can only spell good news for the series. After all, her hilarious avatar is what really makes us ROFL.

The Character of Wannabe Uncle Shahid is NOT to be Missed!

He is one of the funniest characters in the family, being the last puzzle piece which binds everyone together with his humor.

One of the most relatable things about Uncle Shahid is that we all have a friend or relative who is exactly like him, the one famous for making ‘khayali pulao’ without a single penny in his pocket.

Not only is the overall acting in the show top-notch, but the on-screen equation between all the characters is what helps the show stand head and shoulders above all the others right now.

For those who have missed the second webisode can watch it here!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLOLtQwXwZs

Every webisode in the series is set to be very family oriented to reinforce cultural values.

The brand has ensured that today’s young generation should realize that no matter how contemporary they get with age, old will always remain gold.

Some moral values, principles, and standards passed on by our elders are the foundation of all human relationships and shape a positive attitude towards the society.

Kenwood highlights this in the first episode when the kids disagree with their mother on the placement of the antique decoration. However, their funky neighbor Hira ascertains them that the piece-of-art was to be lauded and can add beauty to their home.

Similarly, episode 3 will focus on the same idea with its extremely amusing ‘curry scene’. But let’s keep it a mystery for you guys!

NOW WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!

Episode 3 is set to be on air on the 20th of January. Given how the first two episodes have shaped up, it is going to be interesting to see just what the family does next.

We are kept in suspense hoping that Hira and Erum will make return appearances, but given their establishment as active members of the show in the first two episodes, they are bound to make a return sooner, rather than later.

However, there is only one way to find out what happens next and that is by tuning in on the 20th to find out just what’s on the family’s agenda this time around.

You can watch the webisodes on Kenwood’s official page by clicking here.

This Pakistani Brand Takes a Dig at Urwa & Farhan!

The power couple Farhan Saeed and Urwa Hocane have recently been pushed into the limelight for all the wrong reasons. From being bashed over their sizzling photoshoots they are now being trolled over the internet for a recent campaign they did with Dolce Vita, the Home Interiors brand.

After the Help me Durdana meme’s featuring Urwa Hocane flooded our social media, this time around the couple has been made a target for memes after a photo of the two of them was released.

Of All The Photos From The Dolce Vita Campaign, This Picture Has Become The Joke Of The Town!

However, it looks like brands have now jumped in and are taking advantage of the picture floating around the internet.

An eatery situated in Punjab has taken a dig at Farhan and Urwa! The hilarious meme talks about ‘bae’s priorities’. Clearly, by priorities they mean the delicious and humongous, ‘New Yorker Pizza’ which takes up enough room on the sofa!

The New Yorker Pizza Takes a Hillarious Dig at Urwa Hocane and Farhan Saeed!

It gets funnier when they further make a subtle taunt to Urwa Hocane! 

“Pizza so big there is hardly any room left to cit..order now!”

It also seems like we’re not the only ones who think the pizza place has nailed this funny marketing tactic!

Here’s what people commented on the funny meme posted by New Yorker Pizza:

Majority agreed that the marketing team had absolutely nailed it!

Gulshan-e-Iqbal Eatery Comes Under Fire for Serving Shisha

Amidst all the shopping, eating, and coffee-chugging joints to be found in our gem of a city, Karachi was once also a bursting home of shisha cafes.

The desi hookah snaked its way into the hearts (or rather, lungs) of Karachiites and became one of most loved past times.

However, over the years, the police’s crackdown against shisha bars across town led to the shut down of various popular centers. Authorities had sealed numerous shisha centers and had taken several lawbreakers into custody.

Very few try to secretly exist in the city and if they are lucky, they are never caught by the cops.

However, one eatery in Gulshan-e-Iqbal has now come under fire for having a shisha bar!

Posted by Pizza Today on Wednesday, January 17, 2018

Shisha Lovers who use to hang out at Pizza Today in the area will hate to know that the police raided the eatery in a fresh operation and arrested 3 youngsters while smoking hookah.

JUST IN: Police raid in Sheesha Bar at Pizza Today restaurant at Gulshan-e-Iqbal area Karachi. 3 arrested while smoking…

Posted by The Times of Karachi on Thursday, January 18, 2018

According to the reports, the restaurant manager has fled from the police, however, an FIR has been lodged.

FBR Exempts Import Duty Payment Conditions on Imported Vehicles, Temporarily!

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Pakistan has taken the decision to exempt import duty payment conditions on imported vehicles, temporarily!

This decision came forth after a large number of used imported are stuck at the port, creating a massive gridlock, almost 7,000 units of metal!

Unfortunately, the Customs do not have the payment system which allows the importer to release their shipment.

To bring relief, the FBR has decided to grant this exemption on vehicles imported from 4th of December, 2017 and 9th of January, 2018.

“We have already requested the government to resolve policy issues to settle these problems,” All Pakistan Motor Dealers Association Chairman HM Shahzad

The importers can use this exemption after giving proof of the respective payments to import the vehicle was made from a bank account owned by a Pakistani national.

FBR has also provided relief from other things such as gifts, personal baggage, and imports made under a residence transfer scheme.

“The government should have devised some mechanism before implementing new rules for used car imports,”

According to a source, in a letter, the Model Collectorate of Customs (MCC) has suggested to the FBR to come up with a solution so that a better mechanism is made in order to deal with payments on imported vehicles and other items.

Major iPhone Bug Can Completely Crash Your Phone

For an iPhone lover, the worst nightmare they can go through is paralyzing your iPhone! Well, it’s one nightmare that can actually happen to you too if you send this deadly text message!

A newly discovered iOS bug, called ‘ChaiOS’, lets an attacker construct a simple text message which, when sent to an iPhone, immediately freezes and possibly restarts it. Abraham Masri identified the bug while “fuzzing with the operating system”.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed, “a fix is coming in a software update next week.” Twitter user @aaronp613 tested the bug and tweeted about it.

According to him, not only does it render an iPhone unusable for a few minutes, but the recipient’s Message app will stop loading messages and will keep crashing.

It affects iOS versions 10 to 11.2.5 beta 5, but it hasn’t been tested on the latest iOS beta, 11.2.5 beta 6. And Masri claims the same bug can also affect Macs.

Twitter user Eric Ramírez points out, you can simply block the domain of the message in Safari — in the case of the original message, github.io.

All these issues were subsequently fixed with software updates. Be careful!

Jemima Takes a Hilarious Dig at Imran Khan

Jemima Khan has always been in the news for one thing or the other related to her ex-husband, PTI Chairman Imran Khan. The two have maintained an amicable relationship with each other over the years even after their marriage ended in a divorce.

Imran Khan and Jemima have shown the world how they could still remain the best of friends through the years!

However, this time around it looks like Jemima has taken a subtle dig at Imran Khan unknowingly and we can’t stop laughing at it! This is how it all happened:

She shared a post about American President Donald Trump and bashed him subtly,

“Right now, if your kid tells you, ‘I want to grow up to be President’ you’ve basically failed as a parent. Sad!”

We’re pretty sure many would agree with her on this!

She further continued to say,

“Tho frankly- even at the best of times- If your child wants to be President you’ve probably failed as a parent.”

She probably didn’t realize what she had just Tweeted! 

Imran Khan has been on the journey to becoming Pakistan’s next Prime Minister since a decade and is working towards bringing a change to the country. But looks like Jemima forgot about it for a split-second!

It suddenly dawned on Jemima and she sheepishly tweeted her last message!

The last tweet from her has left us in a fit of laughter!

It has options like ‘Active now’, ‘Active today’, ‘Active 1h ago’, ‘Active 24m ago’ etc. We have learnt that the feature is currently available only for a few select users, albeit on both Android and iOS.

On the other hand, the word is that the application will also be getting screenshot alerts very soon too! This will be a security feature for Insta Stories.

Apart from that, TheNextWeb reports that  Instagram is also testing a new ‘Type’ feature that enables text-only, written stories on the mobile app. While Instagram Stories have always been based on images and video, Instagram has been testing the new Type feature that apparently shows up next to other choices such as Boomerang, Rewind, and Superzoom.
