Aamir Liaquat’s second marriage made all the buzz on social media. When he announced on social media that he was moving on to a second wife, it shocked many. Not long after, rumours started spinning that he had also divorced his second wife. Though Aamir Liaquat brushed them off at the time, it seems they are now being confirmed. Here’s how!

Tuba Aamir Changes Her Name!

The honeymoon period is known to all. It makes one do many things which they often regret. We bet one thing that it made Syeda Tuba do was to make her Instagram handle based on her husband’s last name! Her Instagram handle is @syedatubaaamir. Now that she has become verified, she can not change her name. But, she has shown that she wishes to change it.

Netizens Get The Hint

As you may already know too, netizens have sharp eyes. Nothing can escape their knowledge. They noticed these changes on Tuba’s profile and made a beeline to inquire about the status of her marriage.

Airing Dirty Laundry

Aamir Liaquat made headlines in the June of this year. A woman emerged on social media and claimed that she had also married Aamir Liaquat. Apparently, she also sent his then-wife Tuba Aamir violently abusive messages and threats. Aamir Liaquat then shared his own story on social media and beseeched people to give him space and privacy.

Fixed or Fair? India Trolled After The Doubtful Victory Against Afghanistan

T20 World Cup continues with an undefeated fervor. It could be Pakistan’s iconic performance as they won in all the four matches they played or the fact that India lost to Pakistan in the worst way possible. Regardless, not are Pakistanis interested in just the country’s track record but are also keeping an eye out on the arch-rival. This is why millions were glued to their screens last night as India versus Afghanistan had their showdown.

T20 World Cup: India Vs Afghanistan

Pakistan won against Afghanistan, however, how they would fare against India whom Pakistan defeated incredibly was a question that got answered in a confusing way. The game did not make sense. India scored and while one can expect that because other than this tournament, the team is actually good, but the way it scored was just weird. It seemed as if Afghanistan was intentionally giving them chances to win.

Have a look at the video:

Fixed match?

Of course, once India had made 210 runs from 20 overs and Afghanistan saw its one of the best player Mohammad Shahzad gone on zero runs, hashtag ‘fixed’ started trending. And when something trends, trust Pakistanis to scour the internet and make connections no one would have thought would appear. They dug out the video from the toss where if you listen carefully, you can hear Kohli telling Afghanist to bowl first. The video is doctored or not, we can’t comment on that but you are free to make a decision for yourself.

Memes began surfacing

The memes just had to surface, didn’t they? Let’s take a look at some of the best ones so far. The best meme was probably the doctored tweet of the Afghan Cricket Board. Someone on Twitter photoshopped the text to seem like the board made the error and let out a secret.

A sports analyst-anchor also made a funny remark that will have you bawling with laughter. I mean, it is the only possible explanation of Afghanistan’s cricket performance, isn’t it?

But let’s not accuse others, shall we? Let’s be accepting and embrace the fact that even though Pakistan was able to restrict India at 151 runs and achieve 152 runs without any outs, the latter is capable of scoring 210 runs.

Celebrities often get called out by fans and followers. With the increased use of social media, calling out has become a rather regular phenomenon. Most of the time, however, it is hard to figure out whether the celebrities are being called out for the right reasons or not. Iffat Omar is one such celebrity.

The makeup-free selfie

In the past, she was called out for using her connections to get the covid vaccine out of turn (allegedly). If she was out of turn, netizens singling her out was justified. But it seems that it is the time where they feel entitled to target celebrities at any and everything. The celebrity in question is currently gathering hate for uploading a makeup-free selfie on Instagram.

The post just erupted with comments full of hate. To some, Iffat Omar replied, and some she just let go.

Iffat Omar uploaded another selfie in the past

While people did not like the makeup-free selfie as you can see from the comments, one could say that they would like the makeup selfie. But here is the cherry on top. She got an almost similar response on the post she uploaded that was laced with the mainstream definition of makeup.

Can you imagine the comments that Iffat got at the picture? Have a look:

This now begs the question what makes the netizens happy? If it is a makeup-free selfie, it doesn’t sit well with the followers. If it is a make-up laced selfie, it doesn’t sit well with the followers. In fact, it is not only the makeup that angers the netizens. If you find a female celebrity in an intimate photoshoot with another male celebrity, they get angered by it. And if the celebrity gets captured in an intimate pose with her husband, that too sparks online debate.

But here is the thing, not all trolls get the coverage. Yet, the trolls continue to do so. Is it then really the fault of publications or is it high time the netizens corrected their behaviour?

Toyota has been surprising everyone with its achievements lately. Not only have they landed a spot as the most valuable auto brand, but it is also releasing new vehicles. Apart from being robust, they are also moving with evolving technology. Now, after much work in the hybrid-electric domain, Toyota is entering the all-electric domain. A new vehicle may be on its way sooner than later.

It seems that the brand is all set to release the first all-electric SUV to the world. It doesn’t matter if you prefer hybrid or combustion, this release is bound to make you turn your head. This is a company that was making a gradual shift to all-electric. However, with the upcoming vehicle, it seems the pace has picked up. The all-electric SUV is going by the name of bZ4X.

Toyota Entering The Market

Like many brands that have their dedicated electric car series, Toyota has one too. They are going by the name of ‘Beyond Zero’, which refers to how vehicles are evolving beyond zero-emission. It seems that this platform is going to be shared by Toyota and Subaru EVs. No wonder the brand is coming here, the prospects of all-electric are infinite!

The bZ4X has been developed in partnership with Subaru and is going to go up against the likes of Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID 4, etc. These are the top electric vehicles in the brands’ domains and this one intends to match up to them. We have no doubt that the brand will flourish in this area of operation as well.

Engineering Done Right

If we talk about the dimensions of the vehicle, it has a streamlined body, similar to that of the RAV4. Not only that, but the vehicle is going to be available in two variants,

  • Front-Wheel Drive
  • All-Wheel Drive

Not only is there a difference in configuration but it also boils down to the preference of the driver. The all-electric SUV comes packed with a 71.4kWH battery. This much capacity can allow the vehicle to have a range of more than 430km, depending on the weather and terrain. It is Toyota, after all, so you know the vehicle can handle the uneven ground. The company excels in rugged vehicles.

The vehicle is expected to be revealed in Europe at the end of 2021. However, the public is liable to get them by 2022. As far as the price is concerned, the vehicle starts from an equivalent of Rs.8,127,000/-

Humaima Malick Criticized For Showing Too Much Skin & Being A Hypocrite

Humaima Malick’s recent pictures have triggered netizens on social media. The actress recently graced the IPPA awards in Turkey and her gown was nothing short of princess attire. However, netizens aren’t all too pleased about what she wore and have resorted to calling her a hypocrite. What for? Find out here!

Humaima Malick’s Gown

The actress supported a huge, grey gown made with ample tulle and a heart-neck neckline. In another context, the gown would have made headlines for being an incredible look but since it’s Humaima Malick, netizens are on another tangent. Have a look at her dress here:

What Was She Just Celebrating?

Recent pictures of Humaima Malick just surfaced as she was celebrating Eid Milad-un-nabi. The actress was pictured with her sister-in-law, Feroze Khan’s wife which also made several headlines. Humaima Malick was fully dressed and also supported a dupatta on her head. Have a look at the pictures coming out of the event here:

Netizens Are Not Having It

As soon as her pictures from the IPPA awards hit the internet, netizens broke loose. They started pouring hateful comments under the pictures and also called her a hypocrite! The actress is famous for giving ‘Islamic advice’ all the time and now, she chose to wear a rather revealing dress. Moreover, many charged at Humaima Malick based on her brother! Feroze Khan is always on a moral high horse using Islam and now, his very own sister is going against all of that. Where’s the logic?

Is It That Black and White?

Humaima Malick’s belief and her relationship with God is her own matter. It is rather unfair for third parties to judge what their faith and values may be based on just some pictures on social media. Surely, one’s faith is not as fickle as Instagram pictures or as easily comprehensible as social media posts.

If Humaima Malick doesn’t impose either her Western values or her religious ones on other people, she may do whatever she pleases! Had it been the case that she imposes religious values on others and then dresses like a Western actress, it could be justified to criticise her.

Pakistan’s track record in the World Cup

The second instalment was with New Zealand and while the fans were scared, the Pakistani team emerged victorious there as well. With the cultural ties attached to Afghanistan, Twitter did not see too many memes but the fans could not hide the glee.

Pakistan Vs Namibia

The recent team Pakistan encountered was Namibia. Against them, our team won the toss and chose to bat. While playing carefully in the first ten overs, all the players chose to strike big in the next ten, taking the target up to 190 runs.

Namibia could not follow through and was able to score only 144 runs. In their own space, the team played well but were a no match against Pakistan.

With the win in the bag, Twitter was showering congrats from all over the world and onto the Pakistani team.

Top Content Creators Join Forces For Daraz’s Biggest Influencer Affiliate Competition

The T20 World Cup has all the hype these days. Considering the cinemas that had suffered due to COVID, it seemed like the best opportunity to make good on all the financial loss suffered. This is why Atrium Cinemas had promised to live stream T20 World Cup matches. Whatever the business reasons may be, getting an opportunity to watch the match with fellow cricket fans would certainly have been interesting. But the dream was cut short.

Atrium Cinemas Announcement

They took to their social media platform announcing that they have cancelled the live streaming in all of their cinemas.

Atrium Cinemas claim that the persmission to stream the matches was acquired from Karachi Cantonment Board which is the licensing authority. They said that they followed the same procedure like they did during the 2011 World Cup as well as PSL 2019.

As an obvious consequence, people were disheveled and were curious to find out the reason behind the cancellation. Atrium Cinemas, it seems, has answered the query.

It turns out that the reason for canceling was due to a recovery notice which was sent in by Karachi Cantonment Board. The cinema authority expressed their surprise because they genuinely felt that the Board would be facilitating a suffering industry instead of creating obstacles.

“Karachi Cantonment Board is depriving in isolation the cinema industry while the matches are being shown everywhere especially after the performance of the Pakistan team in the T20 World Cup 2021,” Atrium representative said.

Apple Car Crash Detection

The feature has been seen in other devices, but Apple seems to be doing something new with it. It seems that, once the iPhone has been connected to this service, it measures the changes in forces around them or an instant jump in gravity. This would signify, to the device, that the person has been in a car crash and emergency services need to be called.

The feature is similar to the fall detection feature that was introduced in the iPhone. According to the details, the iPhone would register a fall, calling for emergency services because a person had fallen. This car crash works on the same principle, but it could truly save lives. 911 calls can be made late if there is a delay between the accident and someone calling. However, this would place a call the moment a crash is detected.

Virat Kohli Defends Muslim Player: Infant Daughter Gets Rape Threats

Pakistan’s historic and commendable win against India in the T-20 world cup blew away everyone. While for us it was a pleasantly surprising win, for India it was anything but. Immediately after our superb win, a series of hateful, vindictive, and shameful series of events played out in India. Now, people have even turned their back on their so-called favorite player, Virat Kohli. Is this modern India?

Sportsmanship – India Could Use Some

We may have lost to India several times in cricket but we may never lose to them when it comes to sportsmanship. Pakistanis know how to handle defeat with grace and sophistication— the opposing team must be praised for their skills and we must commit to doing better. However, as soon as Pakistan won this time, Indians exploded into pitiful rage.

Harbajan Singh was one of the cricketers who could use a lesson in losing gracefully. He trashed Pakistan’s time and brought forth his insecurities, adding fuel to a distasteful fire. Moreover, Muslims in occupied Kashmir started being targeted and violence broke out again.

What was perhaps the worst was how a Muslim player in the Indian cricket team, Shami, was attacked.

Why Was Shami Attacked?

After Pakistan’s win, Shami’s social media was infiltrated with thousands of hateful messages. People threw labels like “traitor” and “sell-out” on his profile and also called him a “Pakistani”. People refused to accept him as an Indian player who had committed to serving his country’s cricket team. Religion really does blind individuals, especially, it seems, the Indian population.

The cricket team captain, Kohli, eventually stepped up and supported his team member. He called out the haters in a powerful speech and set the record straight: Shami is an integral member of the Indian cricket team.

Virat Kohli Suffers The Consequences

However, Kohli too is now coming to face the brunt of being a sportsman. Supporting his team member whose only fault is that he is a Muslim, has put his own daughter at risk. The Indian cricket team’s captain Kohli has a 10-month-old daughter with esteemed actress Anushka Sharma. Their, barely a year-old, daughter is now getting rape threats. Let that sink in.

Kohli’s grace in accepting defeat and in supporting his team member has resulted in Indians turning their backs on him as well. It paints an incredibly bleak picture for the future and perhaps, even on the present for India. Religious fundamentalism is maniacal. The fact that the population at large can also turn against supposedly someone their own i.e. Indian, Hindu, means that their loyalty lies with no one.

Sarwat Gilani Talks About Offensive Comments On Her Second Pregnancy

Sarwat Gilani is one of the most distinguished actresses in Pakistan who are constantly challenging the status quo. She speaks her mind and each time she does so, it starts a healthy conversation on important topics. Now, the Churails actress has spoken up about how she was criticized on her second pregnancy which makes us wonder: will society ever be content with women’s decisions?

Safwan Gilani Exposes People

On Ahsan Khan’s show, “Time Out with Ahsan”, Sarwat Gilani spoke up about the hate she received on her second pregnancy. She attended the show with her husband and exposed the said people. The actress shared that when she was expecting her second child, a relative made a hugely inappropriate comment on her decision. The relative said, “It seems you guys are bored, shall we send you a TV?”

The comment was so unbelievable that even the host, Ahsan Khan, couldn’t understand it. Gilani then clarified that the relative meant that they can send Gilani and her husband a TV because if they get busy watching TV, they won’t get busy making babies.

Mard Hazraat and Their Frankness

Funnily enough, Sarwat Gilani also mentioned that it was indeed a male relative who made this comment. Moreover, the two didn’t even have an open friendship or a level of frankness that could warrant this comment. This makes it even more problematic because a male literally commented on a woman’s bodily decision— what gives you the right?

This is exactly where the double standards come in because had it been a woman questioning a man’s virility, all hell would break loose. It’s also extremely disrespectful to boil down a couple’s decision to try for a child into ‘boredom’. Hopefully, this said relative is regretting their comment now!

What Do Netizens Think?

Netizens relate to the problem and they sympathize with Sarwat Gilani. People are not happy when you choose to not have a child and they’re not happy when you are having a child. What do people want after all?

There are discouraging comments when couples birth a daughter and there are discouraging comments when two sons are born. It’s ridiculous. Have a look at what netizens said:
