Is Ushna Shah’s new name is “controversy”? That’s because she just never seems to stay with them. For some odd reason, she has always been the center of many controversies be it about her wedding, husband, dress, honeymoon, or literally anything at all. It’s almost as if she attracts everything bad. This time it was one of her tweets that landed her in deep waters. Here have a look at the tweet first.
My flight to Karachi is taking off and there is a Cyclone warning there. I just want my husband to know that God forbid if the plane crashes & I don’t make it, I hope he finds happiness with someone new one day.. and I hope he knows she will never be as awesome as me. He will…
She jokes about how Cyclone Biparjoy is just about to hit Karachi in the next few hours and just at the same time, her flight is also scheduled. She calls out to her husband and jokingly tells him to remarry another woman if she dies on the flight, however, she also tells him that she knows that the other woman will never be as amazing as her. Talk about confidence, am I right?

Unfortunately, many fans and people found this insensitive since Ushna joked about a very serious topic that may also be triggering for some people. Flight danger and crashes are a very real thing and apparently, many people do not find jokes about it funny even if it comes under the category of dark humor. One person replied to the tweet saying this.
I’m all for leftism and dark humour, but not only is this cringeworthy; it’s also super insensitive.
Was it really that big of a problem? Could his tweet just have been a text for her husband Hamza? Or could people on the Internet be taking things just way too seriously nowadays? You decide. And let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more news and updates.
As the effects of Cyclone Biporjoy is expected to hit the Karachi coast anytime between 1 pm and 4 pm today, chances of disaster and chaos have increased. If the sea water levels rise then there is also a chance of flooding. Cyclonic thunderstorms and rain can also cause urban flooding that may result in no electricity and other such calamities and accidents.

Cooking is a skill often deemed as a stereotypical role. However, it is men like Sanam Jung’s husband who try to shut down the narrative by normalizing cooking for their families.
Sanam Jung & Her Husband Cook Together
In a cute video share on social media Sanam Jung’s husband is seen cooking and feeding her. Filming a short clip of their daily activities from their kitchen Sanam shared that her husband made beef tacos for her.
While applauding her husband the actress mentioned that the recipe he made had turned out delicious with the perfect balance of spices and crunch.
She then proceeds to praise her mother-in-law for raising and training her son in a good manner.
“Very good yar, excellent! I love It. Wah sa,su ma wah! You have trained your son amazingly. I think every guy should know the basics of cooking. Even if they don’t, then they should learn it and try to make an effort.”
Jung then concluded her video by telling her fans that she is going to eat and then go offline. The actress recently joined her husband in Houston a week ago and is spending some quality time with her family. Meanwhile, the actress also shared a wholesome post on her social media where her husband welcomed the kids and his wife with gifts.
Doctors have analyzed Data from 10,528 patients—7,112 in the Republic of Ireland and 3,416 in Northern Ireland at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland to study the chances of heart attacks.
According to a study, serious heart attacks are more likely to occur on Mondays than any other day with 13% higher than anticipated risk of heart attacks.
Mondays & Heart Attacks
The data was collected from the patients with the most severe heart attack, an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which occurs when a major coronary artery is completely blocked. The patients required hospitalization between 2013 and 2018.
The researchers discovered a rise in STEMI heart attacks at the beginning of the workweek, with rates on Monday being the greatest.
“We’ve found a strong statistical correlation between the start of the working week and the incidence of STEMI,” says cardiologist Jack Laffan from the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
“This has been described before but remains a curiosity.”

Important risk factors for heart attacks, such as blood pressure, exhibit diurnal rhythms. It has also been demonstrated that disruptions to this sleep-wake cycle can also affect cardiovascular health.
“This study adds to evidence around the timing of particularly serious heart attacks, but we now need to unpick what it is about certain days of the week that makes them more likely,” says Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation.
“Doing so could help doctors better understand this deadly condition so we can save more lives in the future.”
It’s not necessary to take extra precautions for your heart health on a Monday and then disregard it for the next six days, but it is important to keep in mind any additional stresses your body may be experiencing at the beginning of the week.

Apple enthusiasts and tech enthusiasts, alike, are eagerly anticipating the release of the 2023 iPhone series. However, there is a twist that may concern potential buyers: Wall Street analyst Dan Ives predicts that Apple might increase the prices of the Pro models by up to $200.
Ives has a track record of accurate predictions regarding Apple’s pricing strategy. Last year, he correctly predicted a price hike for the iPhone 14 series. During a session with CNBC, Ives suggested that Apple may follow a similar strategy with the iPhone 15 series. Although he did not provide specific details about individual model prices, he mentioned that the company plans to raise the average selling prices (ASPs) of iPhones in the US.
Price Hike Likely to Affect Pro Models
Source: EconoTimes
It is anticipated that the price hike will primarily affect the Pro models, potentially resulting in a $200 increase for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. As a point of reference, the current iPhone 14 series starts at $799 for the base model of the iPhone 14, $899 for the iPhone 14 Plus, $999 for the iPhone 14 Pro, and $1,099 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. If the expected price hike comes to fruition, the iPhone 15 Pro may have a starting price of around $1,199, while the Pro Max model could be priced at approximately $1,299.
Price Increase Could Boost Apple’s Valuation
Experts suggests that this price increase is part of Apple’s strategy to boost its valuation. The tech giant aims to increase its current valuation of $2.85 trillion to an estimated $3.5 trillion to $4 trillion within the next 18 to 24 months. This valuation expansion aligns with Apple’s vision of capitalizing on the potential market opportunity presented by the approximately 250 million iPhone users who have not upgraded their devices in the past four years.

Apple May Ship Up to 240 Million iPhone 15 Units in 2023
According to predictions, Apple may ship between 235 million and 240 million units of the iPhone 15 in 2023. This estimate highlights the immense popularity and demand that Apple’s flagship smartphones continue to enjoy.
Consumers and Fans to Watch Pricing Strategy Closely
As Apple prepares to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 15 series, consumers and fans will be closely watching to see how the pricing strategy unfolds. While a price increase may concern some potential buyers, Apple’s loyal customer base and the perception of value associated with its products have traditionally supported the company’s pricing decisions. Ultimately, the market will determine how successful this strategy will be for Apple as it strives to maintain its position as a leading innovator in the smartphone industry.

We all know how controversial Ushna Shah has become ever since she decided to get married. Whether she wanted to or not and whether she likes it or not, she never seems to be able to get out of the criticizing light of the public. After her dress, her wedding turned into a live broadcast session and herself being accused of being a golddigger. Now, it’s something of the same sort that she’s being hated for. But who cares about all that when you have a husband as supportive as Hamza Amin?
This video soon went viral for Ushna showing off her travel diary moments with her husband. The couple were driving around on the streets of Vienna, Austria, enjoying their married life as much as they can. The post went viral and some even commented on the way Hamza was driving. Some commented on how cute they were looking and well, and some commented on Ushna’s clothing.
Now, it’s nothing new for fans to comment on clothing and the way the actors and actresses look but it feels nice when they don’t have to deal with it alone and their partner defends and supports them just like Hamza did for Ushna.
Hamza, sarcastically replied to a comment that said: “She is wearing shorts.” So apparently, wearing shorts is a bad thing now? Haven’t other women worn shorts before? Is it really that surprising? Let’s see what other people had to say to that.
The user, who had originally commented, replied again making it a matter of religion. Have a look.

In the midst of a year-long series of production shutdown announcements by car manufacturers in the country, the Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company is also facing severe challenges due to the prevailing economic meltdown and import restrictions, resulting in sales and profits going into deficit.
As of late, Pak Suzuki has also declared that their motorcycle assembly plant will remain closed from June 12 to June 16 due to a complete lack of inventory. Previously, the company had suspended motorcycle production from May 23 to June 10.

Reason For Shutdown
The primary reason behind these measures is the difficulty in importing necessary parts and raw materials for vehicle manufacturing. The major problem lies in the mandatory approval process imposed by the State Bank of Pakistan for imports, causing delays and disrupting the automobile companies’ supply chains. While obtaining prior approval may not seem like a major hurdle in theory, delays in approval have led to shortages of parts and raw materials which is now a common occurrence in various government departments. These delays have prevented companies from maintaining adequate inventory levels for production.

Furthermore, Pak Suzuki has also witnessed a significant decline in car sales compared to the same period last year which could be because of the recent ongoing inflation. The people do not have money to spend and that is disturbing the supply and demand chain. According to the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturer Association (PAMA), the company experienced a staggering 76% drop, selling only 2,958 units last month compared to 12,212 units in the corresponding period last year.
In terms of specific models, the sales figures for Pak Suzuki include 1,902 units of Alto, 282 units of Suzuki Cultus, 148 units of Suzuki Wagon R, 332 units of Suzuki Swift, 157 units of Suzuki Bolan, and 137 units of Suzuki Ravi.

Zomato and McDonald’s commercials have drawn criticism for appearing to normalise undesirable behaviour and broaching touchy subjects like flirting on work places.
McDonald’s Latest Ad Showcases Flirting
Internet users have condemned McDonald’s most recent advertising campaign, which depicts a romance between a male customer and a female employee, for encouraging the “wrong precedent” of customers hitting on employees.
In the most recent McDonald’s advertisement, a man is seen visiting the restaurant and buying a meal. He was served by a female employee of McDonald’s, and the two of them exchanged looks. The advertisement depicts the two of them developing a romance. The young lad returns to the queue after finishing his order a little while later so that he can approach the girl once more.
Sharing the ad on Twitter, McDonald’s shared the advertisement along with a statement.
“Sometimes, the greatest love stories start with the tiniest things – a glance, a smile, a meal. Watch this unusual date and find out how a meal can give you #MoreForLess at just Rs.179! Visit a McDonald’s near you and get McVeggie Meals @ Rs.179,” the company wrote on Twitter.
Netizens Reacts To The Advertisement
Online response generated by a recent advertisement by McDonald’s India, showed users accusing the company of objectifying female employees and encouraging workplace harassment.
According to netizens, the ad normalises “creepy” behaviour and creates a narrative that men can hit on women even in a professional setting.
Here are some of the reactions from the twitter thread below.
This is outrageous and disgusting beyond words 1. You are inviting your customers to hit on your employees 2. Creating potentially unsafe workplace for your female employees 3. Objectifying your female staff for profit by suggesting your customers can flirt and find a date here
McDonalds should take down this ad. The message is very demeaning to women in the service industry who , as we already know, face harassment at many places already. They are sending a very wrong message. https://t.co/SASaHAHGvM
Literally inviting sexual harassment by customers. It's not like you are a ₹5k for a daal restaurant where people will be classy enough to behave and waitresses will actually want to sleep with them. Imagine pajeet unkils watching this https://t.co/vPv3uC7vZl

Malnutrition is still a major problem in Pakistan, having disastrous effects on the health and development of the country. Malnutrition needs to be addressed in order for the nation to advance and develop overall as well as for the personal health of its individuals. According to Aga Khan University’s health economics research, the annual financial loss resulting from micronutrient deficiencies is almost $3 billion, or 1.33% of GDP. Micronutrient deficiencies (in children aged 6 to 23 months) are predicted to have a direct medical cost of US$19 million.
While these numbers highlight the financial toll that hunger takes on in Pakistan, the World Bank estimates that more than 40% of children under the age of five there are stunted, a condition that impairs growth and development. In addition, micronutrient deficiencies, such as those in iron, iodine, and vitamin A, are common.
Iron deficiency can result in anemia, problems with growth and development, cognitive and behavioral challenges, a weakened immune system, lethargy, and other side effects that make it difficult for kids to live healthy, productive lives.
The current malnutrition epidemic in Pakistan is caused by a number of factors, some of which can be linked to poverty, a lack of access to nutritious food, and a weak healthcare system. Malnutrition is a problem in Pakistan due to a lack of knowledge about good nutrition as well as sociocultural practices such as early marriage, gender inequity, and insufficient breastfeeding.
This problem demands a multifaceted strategy to be solved. Malnutrition can be decreased in a nation by strengthening healthcare systems, encouraging exclusive breastfeeding, boosting the use of fortified products, ensuring the safety of agriculture and food, increasing nutrition education, encouraging behavior change, lowering poverty, and enabling public-private partnerships that actively work on all of these fronts. The remedy also needs to be geared towards various age groups, particularly among children, and it might come in the form of nutrition products that have been fortified.
A challenge as colossal as this requires multiple stakeholders that work on health, food, agriculture, education, and social welfare to join hands, come together, and redirect their energies toward reducing malnutrition together.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging as one of the most groundbreaking technologies in history, presenting a range of opportunities and challenges. While the world’s most powerful individuals are still grappling with understanding AI’s implications, criminals have wasted no time in harnessing its potential.
In the wake of OpenAI’s ChatGPT release, a strain of cybercriminals has surfaced, armed with advanced tools and techniques to exploit unsuspecting victims. This article sheds light on the rise of these tech-savvy criminals and the urgent need for awareness and precautionary measures.
Sophisticated AI Techniques in Cybercrime
Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions’ Government Group, warns of a concerning surge in cybercriminals utilizing AI-generated deepfakes and cloned voices to orchestrate intricate schemes that are exceedingly difficult to detect. Criminals have already employed AI-generated images to deceive individuals, and these deceptions are poised to become even more challenging to identify in the future.

Examples of AI-Based Scams
Law enforcement officials in Canada recently reported a case in which a man employed AI-generated voices, likely cloned from social media profiles, to defraud at least eight senior citizens out of $200,000 within a mere three days. Similar scams targeting parents and grandparents are appearing in numerous states across the United States. These scams involve unknown caller IDs, convincing voices resembling loved ones in distress, and demands for ransom or immediate financial assistance.
Protecting Yourself from AI-Enabled Scams
To safeguard against these sophisticated scams, experts recommend several precautionary measures. Talcove suggests establishing a family password known only to your closest inner circle, which scammers would not be aware of. In case of suspicious calls, requesting the code word or phrase from the caller can help verify their identity.
If a caller claims to be law enforcement, expressing a bad connection and the intention to call back can buy time. Inquiring about the facility they are calling from, hanging up, and independently verifying the details by contacting the supposed institution or local law enforcement authorities is essential.

Remaining vigilant about personal information is crucial, as scammers employ fear and panic to elicit personal details or extort money. Wired transfers, direct transfers via platforms like Zelle or Venmo, cryptocurrency transactions, and purchasing gift cards are common red flags. Additionally, limiting the information shared on social media platforms and considering private account settings can mitigate risks.
The Dark Side of AI and the Importance of Awareness
As criminals require only a few seconds of audio to clone someone’s voice, caution must be exercised on social media. Personal details, even the names of family members or pets, can be exploited by criminals armed with deepfake technology to deceive victims. Cybersecurity experts closely monitor the dark web, criminal networks, and emerging tactics, highlighting the growing need for public awareness and education.
The emergence of AI technology has brought both benefits and risks to society. As cybercriminals leverage AI-powered tools and techniques, the threat landscape evolves, posing significant challenges to individuals’ financial and emotional well-being. By understanding the tactics employed by these criminals and adopting precautionary measures, such as creating unique family passwords and verifying information independently, individuals can protect themselves and their loved ones from falling victim to AI-enabled scams. Continued vigilance, awareness, and regulation are crucial to address the dark side of AI and safeguard against its potential misuse.
