A medical student by day and a clown by night on the Mall road of Lahore has gone viral on the internet. This woman’s story is inspiring because of her hardwork and determination however, it also reveals a bitter truth about our country.
The Medical Student’s Situation
Saima is a young medical student who, in the evening, sells toys and dresses up as a clown. She comes to corners of the Mall road dressed in her costume so that she can spread joy to children. This has been her routine for months now and each day, she depends on this activity to earn some money.
Why is Saima bending over backwards in managing education and finances? That is because, in her family, Saima is the only one left to earn with the other family member being sick. Saima only has an ailing mother left as a family. The medical student cum clown works day and night to get enough money to feed her mother and purchase her medicines.

Saima’s Background
The sheer poverty took away her father and brother before. Now, only Saima and her mother live together. She says that her work on the streets is beyond tough. Wearing this costume in this heat and doing various gimmicks to just get a small laugh out of people is not easy. She does it so they can be ‘generous’ and hand out money.
Sending help her way
It has also recently been announced that the tables have turned for Saima. The Chief Minister’s office contacted Saima 3 days ago. Orders have been issued to constitute the Medical Board for a full diagnosis of her mother with an estimation of treatment. The expense will be borne by the CM.

Listen To Her Story
Crime and Negligence
Crime in the streets of Pakistan is rampant but so is the government’s negligence. Both these factors give us cases like Saima whose toil never ends. Saima told the media that once she collected Rs.800 in the day. On her way home, someone snatched her bag and ran away. “It completely shattered me. How I was supposed to get medicines for my mom now?”, said Saima. However, she does not have the option of giving up.
Moreover, people on social media are questioning the government. Why does someone have to go viral to get their basic right? There are millions of people living below the poverty line, some cases may be worse than this one too. Do all of them have to go viral? It’s the government’s inefficacy and negligence that makes healthcare so exclusive in Pakistan.

Right around the beginning of September each year, the buzz is all about the upcoming iPhone 13. ‘What feature will it have or not have? What will be the price?’ are just some of the questions flying around. There are also many data leaks that get the fans excited. In all of this, new information about the iPhone 13 has come out and it’s not pleasant. They’re going to be more expensive, here’s why!
The iPhone 13 Series May Not Have…
Previously, it was reported that the iPhone 13 series may not come with a Touch ID. The hallmark development of Apple might be left behind for these series either for something better or for no reason at all. We will have to find out when official reports tell us something!
The New News – Price Hike
The Apple iPhone 13 is going to launch soon to everyone’s great excitement. However, some rumours are suggesting it will be much more expensive than the usual price (which is already too expensive). It is going to be priced higher than usual because an upcoming chip shortage is expected. The US tech giant will be trying to prepare itself for the chip shortage by pricing the phones higher.

Why Will There Be A Chip Shortage?
Digitimes has reported that TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is one of the leading suppliers for Apple. It is expected to increase its costs of chip production by a huge 20%. That would obviously result in a domino effect that impacts TSMC, Apple and then us.
The new price hike is expected to come into effect in January 2022. This means that the phones may release at a lower price but then become more expensive. However, it can also be that Apple does not go on the back foot at all. After all, they want to absorb the hike and retain the profits. However, to what extent can we justify these prices for a phone?
iPhone 13 New Features
According to all the other leaks, it has also come to our knowledge that iPhone 13 has a new Face ID hardware. It allows one to unlock the phone while wearing a mask or glasses too!

Besides that, the iPhone 13 is rumoured to have improved cameras, bigger batteries, a small notch, an A15 Bionic chip, an iOS 15, and much more. Will you pay the price for these? The launch will be coupled with the launch of new Airpods, new Macs, and other devices. Are you going to go for the more expensive launch?

[Update: 30th August 2021]: In the coolest updates with regard to video calls, Telegram has not one or two but three pieces of good news for its users. It is obvious that these consecutive updates are to ensure that they remain a relevant competitor of the social media giant, WhatsApp.
Video call updates
The first update involves the number of participants who can be present in one call. You can now have about a thousand viewers in one video call; this puts Telegram in almost the same league as Zoom. Now, the users can totally try and use Telegram for office meetings as well as Webinars.
The other update is regarding the playback speed. While WhatsApp’s recent playback speed update revolves around the Audio note speed, with Telegram, you can adjust the playback speed of the videos that people send to you.
According to the third update, Telegram has announced better quality video messages for users. You can now say goodbye to pixelated videos that you send or receive,
This update's all about video. Up to 1000 viewers in video calls, adjustable video playback speed, high-quality video messages and more. https://t.co/JIpUjnBwtF
[Update Jun 15th, 2021]: Telegram in its recent update has announced yet another privacy feature. In this, they allow the users to keep their numbers anonymous even if they wish to connect with another person. They just have to curate a special username.
Next time they wish to connect with someone, let’s say, they found on a dating app and are not yet comfortable sharing the number. In that case, they can just share the username. Begin talking. And if they feel like they are not vibing, they can just block the user. Well, that’s stretching it a bit. The point is, now, you don’t have to hand out the number to literally, everyone.
You can create a custom username to let other users easily connect with you – without needing to share your phone number. #TelegramTipspic.twitter.com/EgTg6HaxWR
[Feb 1st, 2021]: With more and more users switching to Telegram, the app has begun to add the latest features. Most of the updates, however, are relative to Whatsapp. Scrolling down you will find a feature they released that allowed you to transfer Whatsapp Groups to Telegram. Similarly, in recent news, the latest update also hints at a Whatsapp feature.
As you may be aware that Whatsapp allows you to delete messages (within a short period) but it leaves behind a small trace, ‘You deleted this message.’ And the recipient is also able to see that. Well, apparently, the new Telegram feature says you can delete messages without a trace at any time.
You can delete messages, chats, call history and groups you created at any time. Deleted items completely disappear for all participants without a trace – your data is your business, and you have full control over it 🦾. #TelegramTipspic.twitter.com/cS1BclptSp
With the fiasco involving WhatsApp’s privacy policy and the feud between Apple and Facebook, a lot has happened in the Silicon Valley and the tech world in the past few weeks. The messenger owned by Facebook currently has approximately 1.5 billion active users worldwide making it the biggest messenger in the world.

With so many people opting for Telegram and Signal, it’ll only make sense if you are worried about your current group chats while transitioning to a new messenger.

8. After selecting, you’ll be able to import:
This process can take several minutes or longer (depending on your WhatsApp speed and the size of the content that is being imported)
9. After the import is complete, tap on “Done”:
All pictures, videos, audio clips, and other files from that specific group chat would transfer to your Telegram
10. Repeat for other group chats:
If you have more than one group chats that you want to transfer, follow these steps again and get started with Telegram.
This is how you’ll be able to move your group chat from WhatsApp to Telegram. If you’d like to learn how to move your group chats from WhatsApp to Signal, follow these steps.
Apple has a lot of people waiting for its new event. The company always comes out among the top champions each year. Their reveals and releases are so robust, people remember them for years. A lot of people still remember the online-only event that showed the iPhone 12. Now, iPhone 13 is on the way and people are waiting. Apple has something up its sleeve and they have been giving leaks all around.
Despite there being so much happening, Apple does not slow down in its updates. It seems that the iPhone 13 is going to have a lot of innovation and advanced features. With a powerful chipset expected, the smartphone has already gathered a lot of hype. Apart from that, the feature we intend to mention today relates to the face ID. Not everyone can unlock it but there will be upgrades now.

iPhone 13 And Face Masks
In this day and age of a pandemic, face masks have become quite common. It has become a norm to step out of the house wearing one. We still see many people who refrain from wearing one so we encourage them as well. It is important to wear a mask outdoors, so one may protect themself and others too. Additionally, the more protected we are, the less the risk of infection.
So, what is this new feature going to do? According to sources, Apple had been doing some hardware testing for a while now. This includes testing camera arrays for iPhone 12. However, cad files reveal that the tests also apply for iPhone 13 which means fans are in for a surprise. If Apple is testing out the upcoming iPhone camera arrays and asking people to wear masks and glasses, what does it mean? It means that there is bound to be a face ID upgrade in the new iPhone.

Upgrade Available
It seems that iPhone 13 users may be able to unlock the phone with face ID, with the mask and/or glasses on. This certainly represents a deeper step into the world of pattern recognition. This can even save people to hassle of removing masks or glasses to unlock the phone. However, since the testing report is recent, it is possible the upgrade will not be available at launch.
That being said, we are sure to see this upgrade down the line as the year progresses. The reveal of the iPhone 13 is not too far away now so we ask that you brace yourself. Who knows, what else Apple has up its sleeve this time.

Sadaf Kanwal has been under quite a lot of criticism ever since she made the statement bashing Aurat March and feminists.
Sadaf Kanwal recent controversy
In the statement, she said that a husband has more importance because he is a husband. Considering she has married Shahroz, she has to know where his shoes are and whether his clothes are ironed or not. Shahroz is not as accountable as she is for the spouse, she said. Her statement also made feminists and liberals into anti-Islamic people.
— Abdul Basit Mohmand (@BasitMohmand331) July 31, 2021
She clearly hurt a lot of people’s sentiments. This is why most of them decided to delve into her past statements to find out what they can bash her on.
1. Sadaf Kanwal dancing
She performed an item number in a Pakistani movie. Doing what is called a mujra in urdu, she has to sexualize her body. Offended Pakistanis found it a contradiction of statements. Attributing item numbers as uni-Islamic, they said her recent Islamic self does not align with her past acts.
Can you imagine this woman is telling Pakistani women's about culture and morality and how they should behave to their husbands according to Islam. But I think she forgot islam while doing mujra. And this is new ammi of all misogynist. #SadafKanwalpic.twitter.com/BcOqfkN96T
She has also insulted MeToo victims in the past. In a show with HSY, she said that if I were a MeToo victim, I would never hold on to it. She said she would speak up about it right away and to the industry people only, not on social media.
Your wardrobe makes a statement of its own as well. At Hum Style Awards, Sadaf Kanwal wore a revealing saari. “How was that Islamic?” people ask.
4. In Talks with Wajahat Rauf
Invited on Voice Over Man, Sadaf was asked why does she change boyfriends like people change out of clothes. She said I am young so I can do that.
To quote Sadaf, “I am baby.”
That’s clearly Islamic…
Let’s not forget, you are not a baby after you have turned 18, if we are speaking about Islam that is.
This is a case in point of why you should think before you speak because one foot out of line and the audience will go to any depth into your past and seek out controversial videos and pictures.

Smoking kills. Yes, you have heard that before. But have you ever acted upon it?
Smoking: A Fatal Habit
Smoking is one of the deadliest habits one can adopt and get behind. Once you start, in whichever way, it’s also tough to quit it. So if you have the tiniest seed of doubt about the practice in your heart and want to quit it, keep reading!
Here are five steps through which you can become a non-smoker soon:
1. Devise a Plan of Action
Decide a date on which you are going to quit and research on the after-effects. Revisiting your quit plan can make your quit day more comfortable. If you have been keeping it in your mind for some time that that is your last day, chances are you’ll be able to pull through.

2. Be Open To Help
Relying on your willpower to quit an addictive habit can be an over-estimation of your determination. Tell your friends and family you have decided to leave. Tell them your trigger points and ask them not to showcase them in front of you.
Download an app that can help track your cravings and understand your pattern. This way, you can divert your attention at those times.

3. Stay Busy
Keeping busy is a great way to stay smokefree on your quit day and the following days. Being active will ensure that your mind is off smoking, and you are distracted from cravings. Think about trying some of these activities:
Get out of the house for a walk.
Chew gum or hard candy.
Relax with deep breathing.
Go to a movie.
Spend time with non-smoking friends and family.
Go to dinner at your favorite smokefree restaurant.
4. Stay Away From Smoking Triggers
Triggers are the factors that set off your urge to smoke. Once you have decided to quit, try to avoid your smoking triggers. Throw away your ashtrays, lighters, or cigarettes. Avoid caffeine because it can make you feel jittery. Spend time with non-smokers so you can’t smell the nicotine or engage in a conversation about it.

5. Don’t Give Up
Quitting smoking is difficult. It’s a habit that has built up over time, and it is highly addictive. Set small goals for yourself and feel happy about achieving them. Staying positive is the most important step of all. If you don’t think you are capable of bringing about this change, no one can convince you. It’s OK if you need a few more days to prepare to quit smoking.

It’s now being reported that those with facial fillers are reacting adversely to the Moderma COVID-19 vaccine. What could be the reason behind it, and most importantly, do we now have to choose between health and beauty?
What’s The News Peg?
It has been reported that three people with dermal fillers have had negative reactions to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. In two cases, facial swelling was experienced whilst in the third, a problem in the lips occurred.
Image Source: Youtube
Each of these cases then had to be resolved after treatment with steroids or other medical alternatives. Thus, the situation is that no cases of adverse reactions have been reported in patients receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
Is This Common?
The incidents reported are rare, luckily for everyone. The facial swelling episodes and the reactions responded quickly to steroids and medicines. None of the cases so far have had a reaction that necessitates hospitalization. Doctors have been told that the reactions are not life-threatening rather mild reactions that can be curbed.
Image Source: Elle
As with all vaccines, swelling of the face and lips is not an unusual side effect. Patients with a history of these complications are required to have their prescribed medicines on hand.
What’s Been Done On It?
The FDA and the manufacturers of the approved COVID-19 vaccines, including Moderna and Pfizer, are continuing to monitor patients for other similar reactions. Additionally, facilities providing vaccinations with either the Moderna or the Pfizer vaccines are prepared to monitor and treat patients who show such reactions.
Image Source: Allure
These reactions are also not limited to vaccines only. Fillers are an artificial injection into the organic composition of the body. Hence, external circumstances can often pose adverse reactions.
Do People With Fillers Need To Be Worried?
Those with facial fillers do not need to be worried about getting the vaccines. This should not bar people from getting the vaccine either. The risks from acquiring and being infected with the COVID-19 virus definitely outweigh the risks from a reaction to one of the vaccines if the patient in the case of fillers.
As with any and every vaccine, reactions are bound to occur in people. The novel coronavirus’ vaccine has actually developed in a short time. Hence, the need of the hour is to start vaccinating people. Thus, it can be understood that in-depth and all-rounded research is not done concerning vaccines.

Ali Express can be a minefield for inexperienced shoppers. The Chinese e-commerce website has a host of useful products waiting for you, but it has just as many corrupt people waiting to get your money.
Here’s all you need to do to have a safe shopping experience.
1. Ali Express Offers Two Guarantees
AE offers two guarantees to make the shopping experience safe for its users.
Image Source: Make Use Of
There’s a full refund if you don’t receive your order or if the item does not show up. Even if it does not arrive within the timescale the seller specifies, you can apply for a full refund. You will get a full refund within 15 days.
A full or partial refund can be claimed if the item is not as described. Or, if your purchase differs significantly from what you expected, you have two options. You can either return the item for a full refund or keep the thing and receive a partial refund.
2. A Process for Dispute
On AE, the return process isn’t as easy as going and just pressing a button. An entire operation is involved, which can go sour most times. Here’s how the company helps you:
First, you get to contact the seller and raise your issue directly. If you have a complaint before the order has been completed, or more than 15 days after completion, this is the only option open to you.
If you’re still in the pre-completion stage and the seller refuses to cooperate, you have to wait until the order is closed. Then you can raise the issue with Ali Express. Unfortunately, if you’re beyond the 15-day mark and the seller refuses to cooperate, tough luck.
Image Source: Brandsynario
Second, if you’re within the 15 days and you’re not happy with the seller’s response, you can open a dispute ticket. This makes the process formal.
Third, if you’re unsatisfied with the formal discussions, you can escalate the issue to Ali Express. It will then act as a mediator between you and the seller to resolve.
3. Do Your Research
The most obvious way to check a seller’s authenticity is to see the feedback page. On any seller’s page, click the Feedback tab for a complete breakdown.
Image Source: Buy Better
Each seller has a Positive Feedback percentage and Feedback Score. The Feedback Score is the sum of all ratings, converted into points. Four and five-star ratings are worth one point, three stars are worth zero, and one and two-star ratings deduct one point.
Further down the page, you can see star ratings sub-divided into Item as Described, Communication, and Shipping Speed. For each sub-category, you can see whether the seller in question is above or below the site average.
4. Shop With Your Mind, Not Your Heart
Being a shopper, some of the responsibility is on you to make sure your money does not get scammed. Be mindful of things that are odd and reason your purchases. For instance:
If the price is too reasonable to be true, it probably is. You can not possibly get a new iPhone at $10.
Please do not listen to the seller’s request to send them money to their account. If your transaction is being done outside of the site, the site will not cover for your damages.
Do not confirm delivery before receiving the order. Never say you’ve received an item before it’s in your possession, and you’ve thoroughly checked it for problems.

Abar-ul-Haq may have won hearts at some point but recently he has lost many. The singer got up on stage at PTI’s convention to celebrate its three years of performance. He criticised young mothers heavily but mothers won’t back down also. Here’s the debate being sparked.
What Did He Say?
The video is going viral because he sang Baby Shark song and it is indeed funny when he does that. Who doesn’t love Baby shark? Apparently, Abrar-ul-Haq does not. What people are forgetting when they share the video around is what he says before the song comes about.
Abrar-ul-Haq is basically severely criticising not only the mothers of today but especially young mothers. He says very nostalgically that when we were small our mother would recite the kalma to us to try and get us to sleep. “What does a mother do today? Hands the phone to the kid and blares “baby shark”,” says Abrar-ul-Haq.
This is indeed a gross generalisation on the part of the veteran singer. How many mothers has he seen doing that and has he ever asked why they resorted to it in the first place? To place some mothers at a moral high ground because they did thing A while the others become inferior because of thing B is wrong. Abrar-ul-Haq should mention how many eons ago he was a baby, a lot has changed since then.
Moreover, Abrar commenting on motherhood this way is also extremely sexist. Men have no idea the tough ordeal women go through when they raise a baby. Let’s be honest, in our society the mother practically raises the baby. Fathers are only there to play as many women themselves said.
Netizens/Mothers Get Triggered
The comments underneath this video of Abrar-ul-Haq are simply on fire. Young mothers, working mothers, housewife mothers are all standing in solidarity against this judgement by the singer. Judging mothers for how they raise their children is no longer either acceptable or tolerable. National and influential figures should be more responsible with their words. Here’s what mothers said:
There’s more where that came from and a sprinkle of humour:
Hopefully Abrar-ul-Haq can apologise for his irresponsible words before this shows other men that making fun of mothers is the new trend.

Sanam Chaudhry has made a huge announcement on her social media. The former Pakistani actress has changed the path of her life and shared it with her followers. Her Instagram’s latest post has more than one revelation in it, as you’ll find out!
Sanam Chaudhry’s Change of Heart
Chaudhry took to social media to announce she will be turning “towards Allah” completely. She posted a picture of a revelation in which women’s modesty is being discussed. The Quranic recommendation of women wearing Hijab is the central concept in the revelation which Sanam Chaudhry shared. This could also be her announcement to the world that she is now going to be taking a hijab/niqab.
Her caption is also witness to her change of heart. She wrote that she “got her answer from learning the Quran”. This is also an incredible news because the actress just announced that she has done Hifz of the Quran. That is no small feat, congratulations and kudos to her!
“Turning to Him”
Her caption also reads “and I turn to Him with all my heart” which is the core of the announcement. It appears now that Sanam Chaudhry has embraced her religion wholeheartedly, she may discontinue acting and also the way she updates her Instagram.
So far, no personal photos of her are on social media except for her wedding pictures. Her social media is full of miscellaneous and general photos of the other people she loves or other things. This shows she was already distanced from social media which will help her in her journey now.
It is not easy to give up the career one works for, however, when there is a change of heart, everything takes a new face. One realizes the answer they were working for just as Sanam Chaudhry did. Such people are truly lucky as they find the guiding light in their life and start abiding by it.
Sanam Chaudhry was indeed a stellar actress. She is known for her drama serials Aasmanon Pay Likha, Ghar Titli ka par, and various other projects including Bhool. She also bagged a nomination at the 3rd Hum Awards in the Best Soap Actress category for her role in Bhool. The actress then got married three years ago to a music artist, Samee Chohan.
Here’s wishing her the best of luck for her new path.

This year’s Olympics were not even out of the news yet when its medals started deteriorating. Two Chinese athletes have complained against their medals’ quality already declining and it begs the question: how much gold are the gold medals made of? Read the latest about it here:
The Athletes Facing The Issue
A Chinese athlete by the name of Zhu Xueying has complained about her medal. She won gold in the women’s trampolining during the games and she shared her medal’s declining quality on social media. Xueying complained that the medal is losing its shine and beginning to disintegrate. She shared an image on the Chinese social-media platform Weibo of the medal. It clearly showed that the material was “peeling” off.
Another Chinese athlete named Wang Shun is facing the same issue. He also reported that his medal was beginning to peel. The swimmer bagged gold in the 200-meter individual medley in this year’s Olympics. He added, he “dare not to pick at it anymore.”
How Did It Start Peeling Off?
Xueying was asked by many if her medal randomly started peeling off. To clarify that she said, “I didn’t mean to peel the thing off at first, I just discovered that there was a small mark on my medal.” She thought it to be a dirt mark and so she rubbed it with her finger. However, she “found that nothing changed.” Then Xueying “picked at it and the mark got bigger,” she told the Global Times.
What Were The Medals Made Of?
You won’t believe what the medals were made up of in a quest to be more sustainable and protect the planet. The medals awarded at this year’s games were made from recycled goods. Think electronic devices including cellphones! So yes, athletes are pretty much walking around with cellphones around their neck. Could this be the reason they’re peeling off?
The growing noise surrounding this issue also prompted the Olympics’ admin to say something. In response, the International Olympic Committee said that only the “protective film” is indeed coming off. They also added that this peeling does not affect the quality of the medal itself. “Even if you remove the coating, it does not directly affect the medals’ quality,” said the organizing committee. Quality aside, it is unfair for athletes to get a medal which can start looking patchy in days. What do you think?

Flaunting a stellar cast of Humayun Saeed, Mahira Khan, and Armeena Rana Khan, the much-hyped cinematic venture, Bin Roye was released last year in all its fervor and glory! The romantic-drama flick scored rather well at the box office, both nationally and internationally, becoming one of the top-grossing Pakistani movies; according to box office detail.com, Bin Roye grossed approximately 10.92 crores till the beginnign of the year 2016. Now, a year later, boasting the same cast but a much-more-refined plot, a drama version of the successful flick is all set to hit our TV screens.
To gather all the inside scoops and exclusive details on the upcoming project, Brandsynariohad a tête-à-tête with the reigning Queen of Hearts, Mahira Khan.

Not only did we get all the juicy details on the Bin Roye Drama, the starlet spilled her heart out about her thoughts and expectations from the theatrical adaptation of the movie, her professional choices, co-stars, and upcoming ventures in Pakistan.
Check out what Mahira Khan revealed about herself and Bin Roye in an exclusive interview with Brandsynario:
1. Bin Roye Movie Did not Live Up to Mahira’s Expectations
The starlet believes that the movie Bin Roye did not live up to her expectations- she believes it could have been an amazing family drama from the beginning.
Mahira Khan herself said; “I have read the Bin Roye novel 20 times, and as far as I am concerned, even though it was a huge hit, and internationally the film did phenomenally well, and I got a lot of love and great response, I still believe, Bin Roye could have been an amazing family drama.”
Watch Mahira Khan talk about Bin Roye movie here:
The actress believes in Farhat Ishtiaq’s writing and Momina Duraid’s vision, and therefore she had always thought the Bin Roye project is going to be huge! “I thought Bin Roye is going to be massive, but I always think that! I have this strong faith in whatever I do,” added Mahira.

Despite doing phenomenally well at the box office worldwide and reaping a massive amount locally, Bin Roye was unable to satiate the audiences fully, mainly due to a few loopholes and loose ends observed in the plot of the movie. Maybe it should have been a drama from the very beginning. What do you guys think?
2. Why Bin Roye Movie Is Being Turned into a Drama
While having a heart to heart with the raving beauty, she revealed why the cinematic version is being dramatized: “It was always going to be a drama and a film shot simultaneously,” said Mahira.
“The idea was debated a lot, in fact, initially, I said I cannot do it, but I didn’t think it would last this long- this was three years ago and I am sitting on Bin Roye’s set yet again ,” the actress said, smiling.
Based on the literary guru Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel, Bin Roye Aansoo, the HUM TV flick was directed by Shehzad Kashmiri and Momina Duraid with the intention of being aired as a drama series on television. The movie is now being adapted into a 20 episode drama serial, which will replace Udaari on HUM TV.
3. Bin Roye Drama Will be Better than Bin Roye Movie
People who watched Bin Roye were slightly bewildered by its confusing plot line and how fast paced it was; there was a lot happening all at once- Irtiza’s (Humayun) marriage to Saman (Armeena) and her sudden demise- Irtiza’s 2nd marriage to Saba (Mahira) and his final confession about how he has always been in love with Saba (but married Saman instead?) there were some answered questions and definite need for improvements.

During her conversation, Mahira Khan assured that Bin Roye’s drama will be a more polished and improved version of the movie. However, she said that we can definitely not label Bin Roye movie as a ‘drama’ since the movie had it’s own unique standing while the drama will have it’s own special place- she called Bin Roye movie, a piece of art.
“We are still grappling at the idea of movies, and I will never agree with someone who says that Bin Roye was not a movie but a drama, No. I think it was a piece of art. Because we know how much hard work and time we had put into it,” said the Humsafar actress.
Watch Mahira’s response:
“Bin Roye had some amazing moments and it had the most beautiful soundtracks. It was a difficult film- it was a director less film mid-way and it still got a release and became one of the highest-grossing films, so I am proud of it! But there could have been improvements, as there were a lot of issues and shortsightedness for sure.”
Being turned into a drama will strengthen the plot and make the story more intense, understandable and relatable to the masses.
Mahira is pretty easy going, guys! She mostly likes whatever she sees and wants to appreciate hard work, but sometimes, she is extremely critical of her own work and acting skills.
Watch Mahira on the beautiful sets of Bin Roye Drama in an exclusive shot below:
“I like nearly everything I see, and then if I am critical, I can dislike everything I see. But mostly, I want to appreciate what I see; I mean I still see my previous work sometimes, and say Oh my God what have I done,” revealed the actress.
The ever so charming style diva is ecstatic to be a part of the booming entertainment industry of Pakistan. She believes in the revival of cinema and her most favorite Pakistani film from recent years is Na Maloom Afraad.

Yes, our gorgeous starlet is absolutely in love with Nabeel Qureshi’s entertainer flick! She believes the movie was a brilliant piece of work, flaunting the complete package of fun, emotions, drama and romance.
“I would say in the last two-three years, not including Khuda Ke Liye and Bol, even though they were the major contributors towards cinema revival and Khuda Ke Liye is one of my favorites, for me, Na Maloom Afraad was, Wow! I loved it. It was a total package. It was brilliant, it was funny, there were emotions and drama, spice and romance- for me that was really a perfect film.”
Well now we love Na Maloom Afraad even more, don’t we?
Did you know, Mahira Khan decided to do films right after doing Shehr-e-Zaat. Yes, our favorite actress had decided quite early on that she wanted to do films, when no one was even thinking of making films like now.
6. Regrets Saying ’No’ to Some Projects
In the candid conversation with Mahira Khan, team Brandsynario discussed the revival of Pakistani cinema that gave us hits like Jawaani Phir Nahi Ani and Manto and the actress regretfully exclaimed that there were so many movies that she couldn’t be a part of.
She even joked about one of the directors teasing her over “how she feels about clapping and singing praising for films that she had refused to do initially”– did she mean Jawani Phir Nahi Aani? or was it Moor the actress wanted to be a part of? We can only wonder.
7. SRK vs Humayun Saeed- The Better Co-Star
As we all know, the Humsafar actress who had charmed the cross-border audience with her extraordinary acting skills and innocent, eastern looks has starred in an upcoming Bollywood flick, Raees, alongside King Khan, SRK.
When asked whether Humayun was a better co-star or SRK, the actress shied away, smiled and said “That’s a tricky question. I am a HUGE Shah Rukh Khan fan. He is King. He is Amazing.”
Watch how Mahira Khan gushes over co-star SRK:
However, our darling starlet also told us how much closer she is to Humayun Saeed- “he has seen me grow” she said.
“He is an amazing co-star. If there is anyone you want to ask how I was when I was younger, he is the one. He was my first co-actor and truly knows how much I have grown as a person and as an actor.”
The two have shared some electrifying chemistry in Bin Roye and we just can’t wait for them to sizzle on the small screen once again.
8. Signed a Film That is Very Close to her Heart!
We’ll definitely be seeing more of Mahira Khan! Our favorite female Khan disclosed that she has already signed one film and is now deciding on another one with producer Momina Duraid.
“I am sitting here today with Momina and deciding on films. A very big day. I have signed one film and I am deciding on another one. The one film that I have signed is not with HUM Films but it’s a film very close to my heart, I don’t know why. It’s with people I have not worked with before and I hope it’s a risk worth taking.”
Something exciting is sure on our way! Well, we can never get tired of that pretty face and that heart-winning smile, can we?
There had been a lot of speculations related to Christiano Ronaldo recently. Everyone was asking questions as to which club he will go to. Up until a few hours ago, we came to know that he might go to Manchester City. He has had quite a distinguished journey and Juventus and Real Madrid before that. He started off at Manchester United when he was just a teenager. However, now it seems that the club’s star player is going to return.
In recent news, we have come to know that Ronaldo is returning to Manchester United on a two-year contract. It seemed that the famed player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, was in talks with Juventus officials on Thursday. Then, today at lunchtime, Manchester City confirmed that they were no longer interested in taking the player.
Later, we found out that Mendes had also had meetings with Manchester United. It then came to light that Juventus has agreed to transfer Ronaldo to Manchester United. A lot of fans could not have been more excited to hear this. After so much time, the player has finally returned to where he started, now an experienced footballer.
The deal has been signed over €20m plus €3m in bonuses. All of this also means being granted a visa and passing a medical test. Manchester City also stated their reluctance in going for the player due to him turning 37 in February.
A cup of tea can do wonders. Be it morning or night; it is an ultimate stress buster. However, green tea trends keep evolving as people attempt to shift to a healthy lifestyle. Green tea is not just tea. It’s a whole lifestyle, and while it offers some great benefits, many myths are attached to it. As a result, we are often confused about whether we should incorporate it into our routines or not. So, today let’s debunk all the myths and get some facts straight about green tea.

But first, we will discuss why it is beneficial for our health.
Benefits Of Green Tea
Green tea is a staple in both China and Japan for decades. However, it was only in the last decade that we learned about its nutritional benefits for ourselves. It contains a vast amount of Catechins. It is an antioxidant that binds to free radicals while destroying them. As a result, the inflammation and cell damage are halted, one of the main reasons behind ongoing disease processes.
1. Cancers
Studies suggest that people who consume green tea are less likely to develop different types of cancers. The results are more successful in patients with no history of cancer since it has a preventive aspect rather than a cure.
2. Diabetes
It is known to reduce blood sugar levels and hence reduces the chance of Type 2 diabetes. It also increases insulin sensitivity. However, as with cancer, the studies are proven beneficial in prevention rather than cure.

3. Improved Brain Function
The core component of tea is caffeine. Caffeine blocks the chemical messengers in the brain, which results in increasing alertness and productivity. The amount of caffeine in green tea is minor than coffee, so that you can get the same benefits without irritable side effects.
A micronutrient called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is responsible for skin repair properties. Studies suggest that epigallocatechin gallate contains antioxidants that reduce sun damage and wrinkle formation.
5. Lower Cholesterol Levels
Catechins have natural antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects. They help lower cholesterol levels by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol into the body.
Side Effects of Green Tea
Even though it is beneficial, excessive consumption can lead to various side effects and some of these include.
1. Heartburn, stomachache, and nausea
2. Excessive urination which can lead to dehydration
3. Sleep deprivation leading to insomnia
4. It can also cause skin conditions like allergy and eczema

Myths About Green Tea
1. It Is Healthier Than Black Tea
Both contain potent antioxidants. Green tea turns black after oxidation; hence the Catechins are converted into flavins present in black tea.
2. Green Tea Can Boost Metabolism
It can result in a faster metabolism pace, however, only with proper exercise and healthy food consumption. It gives you the energy to be productive or work out more, which results in increased metabolism.
3. It Helps To Get Rid Of Belly Fat
No studies have proven to reduce belly fat just with its consumption.

How Often Should You Drink It?
It is advised to take 3-4 cups a day to get the desired result from it. If taken in quantities more than that, it can lead to some undesirable effects. So, with green tea, adequate quantity is the key.

Neeraj Chopra won’t let media twist his words and create bad beef with Arshad Nadeem. The two sportsmen have been making rounds on social media after their competition at Olympics as Javelin throwers. However, this time, Neeraj is the voice of reason to which many may fall deaf.
The Initial Information
In a recent interview, Neeraj shared some information pertaining to Arshad Nadeem which was heavily misconstrued. He said that before the final match at this year’s Olympics, all the participants were practising their throws. While Neeraj was busy doing something else, Arshad Nadeem picked up Neeraj’s javelin and started practising with it.
Image Source: Dawn
At one point, Neeraj could also not find his javelin since Arshad Nadeem was practising with it. This news made everyone question Arshad Nadeem’s intentions and his actions. Why was he not practising on his own? This news then spiralled out of control and made it appear as if Neeraj Chopra was badmouthing Arshad Nadeem. Considering the Indo-Pak backgrounds, the media was hungry to ruin their relationship.
However, Neeraj Chopra was not going to sit quietly while his words were misconstrued. In a video, he clarifies what he said and how it was misconstrued. He shared that everyone brings their own javelin but other players are allowed to use each other’s javelin for practice also. “That is a rule,” he said.
Image Source: The print
Moreover, he acknowledges that what he said was blown out of proportion and that Arshad Nadeem did not do anything wrong. However, the one thing he said that truly touched our hearts was about sportsmanship. He said, “sport encourages everyone to be together hence, don’t spread misinformation.” So well said! As a true sportsman, he knows sports is inclusive and promotes harmony which is what he’s asking for here too.
Arshad Nadeem from Pakistan and Neeraj Chopra from India are two of the best javelin throwers, as they proved at the Olympics. The two have also competed together at other tournaments. Hence, they have developed respect, liking and admiration for each other. Though Neeraj bagged the gold medal this year, he also said he admires Nadeem’s efforts.

The two have many pictures together and show that nothing is greater than sportsmanship. May there be more success for both of them in the future. Kudos to Neeraj Chopra for clarifying the air on a developing feud.

If you haven’t watched O Rangreza, what are you even doing in life? Despite debuting in 2016, Bilal has been named ‘The Best Emerging Talent’ by the media, and we agree. Acting so good that we almost forget it is just acting. Bilal makes one immerse completely in the plot. He co-starred with Madiha Imam in the Web series “Ek Jhooti Love Story” Bilal plays the role of Sohail, who creates a fake profile on social media with the name, Nofil.

Yasra Rizvi is popular for doing many amazing works, including “Manto” and dramas like “Ustani Jee.” She is yet another household name and is known for portraying the roles of women in problematic situations. She worked alongside the previously mentioned Sarwat Gilani on the “Churails” project, another work centered around women. Yasra, in “Churails,” plays the role of Jugnu, who is in the top leadership of the agency.
Mehwish Hayat is an icon in her own right, known for roles in comedy films like “Actor in Law,” “Punjab Nahi Jaaongi,” and romance dramas like “Ru Baru” and “Dil Lagi.” A remarkable actress with insanely popular dramas and films, the actress played the main role in a web series “Ennaya” in 2019.

NADRA has finally come up with a feature that’s going to keep Pakistani men in check and their wives at peace. This new feature has the ability to expose hidden marriages in your family. So if there’s anyone you have doubts on… keep reading!
The Qaumi Tasdeeq-o-Tajdeed Campaign
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a ‘Qaumi Tasdeeq-o-Tajdeed Campaign’. It is a new system made for the verification of family members. Through this mechanism, all family members will have transparency.
آپ کے خاندان میں کوئی غیر متعلقہ فرد تو رجسٹرڈ نہیں؟
ایک SMS سے تصدیق کریں، گھر بیٹھے با آسانی۔
نادرا میں اپنےرجسٹرڈ موبائل نمبر سے 8009 پر اپنا قومی شناختی کارڈ نمبر Space تاریخ اجراء dd-mm-yyyy
SMS کریں جواب میں آپ کواپنے خاندان کے افراد کی تفصیلات(فیملی ٹری) موصول ہوں گی۔ pic.twitter.com/Xw2nychHPb
آپ کا اگر موبائل نمبر نادرا میں درج نہیں تو آپ اپنے نمبر کا اندراج نادرا کے کسی بھی قریبی دفتر سےبلامعاوضہ کروا کر تفصیلات کے لئے دوبارہ 8009 پر میسیج کریں۔ آپ کو اپنے خاندان کی تفصیلات موصول ہو جائیں گی۔ شکریہ
To find out if someone in your family or your own dear husband is married more than once, here’s what you need to do. Text his CNIC number and its date of issuance to 8009. This system of verification allows you to verify your family members. All you have to do is send their 13 digit CNIC number. However, there’s a catch. The message must be sent from their own registered number.

In short, a whole plan is going to have to be made to ensure you get your answers while they remain none the wiser.
How To Text
The format for texting is this: <13 digits CNIC No> Space <Issue Date>

Once you have sent the message in the correct format from the registered number, you will receive details of the family members. If you accidentally added something wrong, tap 1 to reform your mistake. A representative of NADRA will proceed to contact you from its helpline 051-2778009. However, if the information is correct, then reply with ‘2’ to confirm it and get the answers.
This Was Badly Needed
This was desperately needed in Pakistani society. It is the norm that men often have more than 1 wife. Aside from the one the public knows of, they keep the others, hidden. Women rarely find out and once they do, it is indeed too late to do anything. But now, you can easily find out whether your husband has been committing infidelity all this time or not.

Moreover, it is also the case that many children start investigating their parents. The investigations often confirm their doubts about having half-siblings. This will ensure that if anyone is legally Nikkah-fied, they can be exposed.

’s Sheikh Shuja Ullah Khan – Senior Director (Central) added that the agreement between the two organizations is an excellent initiative that would help the government achieve its objective to provide affordable housing options to the public.
