Burger King to Launch Chocolate Whopper & Nuggets With Fudge Dip

Burger King released a notification yesterday, on the first of April that it will be launching chocolate whopper and nuggets. Weird, awkward, disgusting, interesting, all or one of these thoughts must have come to your mind, no? But you must have also thought about how this could definitely be an April Fool prank given the date of the news.

Chocolate Whopper

So the brand’s Singapore branch has announced that they will be releasing the new burger. And people started making speculations about whether this is an April fool prank or not. Considering normally pranks are taken to be the real deal and brands have to clarify that it was just an April joke, the situation was reversed. This time Burger King Singapore had to formally announce that this was no prank.

https://www.facebook.com/BurgerKingSG/posts/10159297383551774

As it turns out, this is actually possible. In 2018, it was Burger King UK who had launched Chocolate Whopper for a limited time.

Burger King Singapore

Considering this is one of those products that does not get customers all the time, it can only be a short-time deal. And so, Burger King Singapore is also releasing it for a mere 15 days; from April 1st to April 15th. Moreover, this time it won’t be just Chocolate Whopper but also chocolate nuggets. The nuggets will come with fudge dip. There will also be chocolate fudge.

The customers can order the new products from the Burger King app or their in-store digital kiosks. It will cost them $6.40. If they choose to get regular size coke and fries with it, then it will cost them $7.90.

What is the Chocolate Whopper made off?

Well, if you have seen the Burger King UK’s video, you will have seen that it does have some of the usual burger king ingredients. So for instance, it still has a flame-grilled beef patty, onions, and tomatoes. You will, however, not find pickles, mayonnaise, or ketchup. And it will have a layer of chocolate sauce.

The chocolate nuggets

To get the chocolate nuggets, you will have to order a Nugget dipper. This costs 3.90 Singaporean dollars. You will get six pieces of chicken nuggets. It will be accompanied by a chocolate fudge swirl dip.

When the people in Singapore order through the brand’s app, they will also be able to avail themselves of an exciting offer. According to that, they will receive Mashed Up Fries for free when they buy a Chocolate Whopper. This too comes with chocolate fudge sauce.

So did you buy it yet that this is no prank?

5 Local Brands That Had Fun Playing Pranks On 1st April

1st April
Image Source: Brandsynario

Deriving marketing strategies from trending affairs or international days has become a thing for almost all brands worldwide. One of those days is 1st April where they try to play pranks on the customers. In Pakistan as well, some brands took part in this. And while a few of them played it really well, some were just not liked by the customers.

1. Lays Pakistan

Lays Pakistan pranked saying they are introducing a new flavour, the doodh patti flavour. It could have been really nice but it’s chai they messed with. And well, chai is informally known as our national drink. So those who took it to be real were traumatized. It was until they were told that this was just a prank that they breathed a sigh of relief.

https://www.facebook.com/LaysPk/photos/a.516146111745301/4493877933972079/

2. Graana

Graana.com, the real estate firm also joined this trend and it seems that they intelligently combined two concepts. So remember that Indian drama clip where the girl wants chand ka tukra to decide who she wants to marry. Graana used that to say they can do it for you. Well played, Graana!

https://www.facebook.com/GraanaCom/photos/a.404332203363413/1175130359616923/

3. Savour Foods

Savour Foods went a step ahead and said that they will deliver by helicopter. This was obviously an April fool prank that people thoroughly enjoyed

https://www.facebook.com/SavourFoodsPakistan/photos/a.605222956222488/3852348831509868/

4. O’Brownies

If a brand says on 1st April that they are introducing a new product, it is almost always a prank. So if you almost vomited at the Brownie Biryani concept, fret not, because it was just a prank.

https://www.facebook.com/Obrownies1/photos/a.563065064357254/736826303647795/

5. Zeytin

While some brands pull the prank nicely, some just go into attacking mode. Zeytin was one of them as it attacked KFC. Playing it poorly, they just made KFC customers go all defensive against Zeytin.

https://www.facebook.com/ZeytinPakistan/photos/a.1146491342189466/1712137358958192/

Sometimes the strategy works, sometimes it doesn’t. But those whose strategy doesn’t work should be more attentive when deriving them. Or they should take lessons from those who have pulled it off well.

Hania Amir’s Engagement News Turns Out To Be A Prank

Hania Amir's Engagement
Image Source: Brandsynario

It seems that Instagram stories are the modern news breaker. And the celebrities use it to the full extent. This time it was Hania Amir. And so, on 1st April 2021, we witnessed Hania Amir’s engagement.

She posted a picture of her hand where she has an oversized ring on her engagement finger and the text in that story was simply the date and a ring.

It was not even left to people’s imagination that she is engaged.

hania amir

A producer, Umer Mukhtar even shared his story congratulating Hania and Shamoon Ismail for tying the knot.

He said: Congratulations to my two very good friends on getting engaged.”

And tagged both parties on it.

Hania Amir

The news was further strengthened when some people who are close to Hania started congratulating her.

As we all know of the recent friendship of hers with Dananeer, it was obvious that she was going to congratulate Hania. But Dananeer’s manager, Nafayalll also posted a congratulatory story.

Aside from them, some accredited showbiz personalities also confirmed the news. These included Wajahat Rauf and Ashir Wajahat.

APRIL FOOL!

However, it turns out that this was just an elaborate April Fool prank. Hania posted an Insta story yet again where she told people to chill out and even added a BTS of when they were planning the prank (for evidence).

Netizens got angry!

People were not happy with this though. They said that this might have been the worst prank ever.

She was called, ‘waili’ considering the extent she went to lay out her prank.

While others brought up her past humorous attempts.

It is safe to say, people were not on board with the idea of using engagement as a prank considering they went as far as saying Asim Azhar dodged a bullet.

The point is Hania Amir’s engagement was only a prank and people hated it but maybe that makes it a success. What do you think?

Mehwish Hayat’s ‘Glowup’ Picture Triggers Internet Trolls

Mehwish Hayat the incredibly famous Pakistani actress posted a picture on her Instagram which has gone horribly wrong. Here’s what’s going on:

Mehwish Hayat posted a bedtime selfie on her Instagram account for her fans to see! The star looks stunning even right before bed and has clearly followed her skincare routine. Lathered on the face is the sheen we all rush to get to complete our beauty sleep!

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Mehwish Hayat (@mehwishhayatofficial)

However, many trolls have been triggered by the post and taken it as a field to start practising their punchlines.

The Trolling Mania

As is the unfortunate case under many Pakistani actresses’ photos, several men are practising their shots. Each has attempted to come up with a comment more ridiculous than the previous to somehow get Hayat’s attention. However, many are simply trolling her.

Here’s an insight into the trolling comments:

Unrealistic Beauty Standards?

It’s not clear whether Hayat wished everyone a good night before actually sleeping or if her caption means she is about to sleep. Because if it is the latter, this post itself is quite a trolling one. If one looks closely, Hayat has the “no-makeup makeup” look on!

mehwish hayat picture trolls
Image Source: Instagram

There is a bit of eyeshadow and some lip and cheek tint action going on. Is she lying about that and pretending this is how she sleeps? In that case, the star must be informed that sleeping with makeup is an abominable sin.

People don’t look like this when sleeping and they totally do not have to!

Harmless Trolling

In all of the trolling episodes we have reported thus far, this one has to be a more normal and tolerable one. The comments are humorous in nature, not personal and not vile or violent. Many trolling episodes are the opposite and an example of a plain misdemeanour. 

The proposals showered in the comments can also be taken in a humorous manner. It is not as if male celebrities don’t deal with this or foreign celebrities don’t. This is perhaps part of the fan culture— “marry me so and so”!

Mehwish Hayat – A-League Apart

Mehwish Hayat is one of the very few actresses in our country who have received the Pride of Performance award two times in a row. Her contributions and grace with which she represents her country are surely notable.

Here’s wishing the star even more success and achievements in her life as she continues to glow like this – realistically or unrealistically – at night.

Who Is Azeem Khan? 5 Things To Know About Saba Qamar’s Ex-Beau

Image Source: Brandsynario

Azeem Khan has been in the news since a few weeks ever since he and Saba Qamar had an Instagram conversation on their stories. So, what had happened was that Saba posted a story wearing a bracelet. Right after that, Azeem posted a story saying that he had lost a bracelet. Upon looking closely they turned out to be the same bracelet. Following that, people speculated if they were dating. A few hours later, Saba Qamar confirmed the speculations.

Sabar Qamar dates a blogger

But do you know who Azeem Khan is other than the fact that he has spelled his Insta username as Axeem Khan? Fret not though! We have listed a few things that you need to know about him!

1. Sabar Qamar and Azeem Khan’s Insta following

While Saba Qamar is known by almost everyone in Pakistan and after doing the Bollywood movie, Hindi Medium, she got famous across the border as well. She has 4 million followers. Meanwhile, Azeem has 54.2k followers on his Insta.

2. I need to know if Saba Qamar knows his profession

Axeem is an Instagram blogger. But as you might know, every blogger has a niche. So for instance, you will find food bloggers, travel bloggers, and whatnot. Or take Dananeer as another example. Dananeer is a content creator and even within that niche, she found a sub-niche, Pawri Hori Hai. So what particular niche is his profession? I’d say, unsolicited advisor/commentator.

3. Looking at his Talent

You mean other than scoring Saba? Let’s see…

He is able to shoot his videos while driving (which should be illegal), and the camera doesn’t fall down. Other than that, I find no talent.

Someone tell Saba to share Azeem’s talent with us because some information about his talent few girls have shared on social media, she might not want to hear it.

4. The videos that he shares!

When going through the videos he shares on Instagram, you will find his monologues that he makes to give his commentary on trending issues videos where he shares audio notes sent to him by his followers.

5. Does Saba Qamar know he makes Meninist content?

But there is definitely one thing consistent on the entire account. It is that his content is, as the trending word calls it, pro-meninist. Not going into the details of what a few girls have said about his content and just looking at a few memes he shares, you will know that he is.

Having seen Saba being vocal about a feminist mindset, it comes as a shock seeing her dating Azeem. But hey, now you know who Azeem Khan is!

The automobile industry is booming. Entering into the country one after another, automobile brands are set to shock and astonish. Let us look at just the Changan Alsvin and MG HS. These vehicles are some of the most impressive ones to have ever been manufactured. MG used to be a British brand and Changan is a rising Chinese one.

So what are the Hatchback Cars that are going to enter Pakistan in 2021? Let us dive into the details of these and check out the specifications. Are they worth a glance or a buy?

Hatchback Cars in Pakistan

1. BAIC D20 Hatchback:

BAIC is a brand that gained quite a lot of popularity in Pakistan. However, this was back in 2019. Before they were able to release new cars in the country, the world went into a whole new phase. Where the streets used to be crowded, silence remained. Now the BAIC D20 Hatchback is set to make a release in Pakistan soon. It is set to be available in both automatic and manual transmissions, with the variants having 1.5L capacity. The average of fuel on the vehicle is set to be about 14km to the litre. The price is currently set at between Rs.19 – Rs.21 Lac.

2. Suzuki Swift 4th Generation:

We are all already familiar with how popular the Suzuki Swift is. Its second generation is one of the most driven cars in Pakistan. However, in 2021, the second is to be discontinued and the fourth will be launched. The variant most likely to make it into Pakistan will be the 1.2Litre petrol one. The vehicle will have a beautiful interior with quite a lot of gadgets and gizmos. Additionally, the price of the vehicle is expected to be Rs.20 – Rs.22 Lac.

3. KIA RIO:

With KIA being as popular as it is right now, it is no surprise that the brand is on this list. With the new Sorento and Cerato making their way into Pakistan, there is more. KIA RIO is going to be a new Hatchback with immense capabilities. It is to have a 1.6Litre engine with an IVT transmission.

The driving seat will be six-way adjustable, alongside electronic stability control and hill start assist control. The price of this vehicle will be kept near to Rs.15 Lac. This will definitely bring serious competition to the market as this is an affordable range for vehicles.

4. United Alpha:

This is yet another hatchback on its way into Pakistan. Its counterpart, the United Bravo, has already been talked about before. This new one is said to have some great features. With a 1 Litre engine and a manual transmission, the vehicle is said to have a fuel average of 15-17km to the litre. Its price is expected to be about Rs.14 Lac.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite – Specs, Features & Price

Image Source: Notebookcheck

When the world came face to face with smartphones, many companies were introduced. Where Samsung and Apple were among the only few titans, other brands started to move towards the technological playground.

Similarly, when it came to budget phones, Xiaomi was one of the front runners. Today, the company stands as one of the highest rated ones in the country. You might just see a Xiaomi phone with every other person, considering they have such a huge range of them.

Today, we have a special review for you. It revolves around the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. Yes, it is not just the Mi 11 but the lite version of it. Let us dive into the details of the phone and see exactly why it is worth buying.

Of course, in the end, it all boils down to your preference, but take it as a responsibility to inform you regardless. If you wish to check out a review online, we have a link here,

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite Design and Camera:

Firstly, let us take a look at the design itself. The phone features a beautiful screen, measuring at 6.55 inches. This is quite a decent size and is definitely enough to make anyone go ‘Whoa’. It weighs in at about 157g, which is not quite a heavy phone.

With this many features and hardware built into it, you might have expected a heavier phone. Additionally, with corning gorilla glass 5 protection, the phone is sure to survive quite a lot of hits. It has a hybrid dual sim feature, with one being Nano.

If we talk about the rear camera, it has a triple array. The first one is set at 64mp, alongside an 8mp ultra wide and a 5mp macro camera. It seems like the macro camera on the phone is quite impressive. You can take those close-up shots with ease and get amazing results!

The Processor and Battery Power:

If we talk about the chipset in the phone, it is none other than a Snapdragon. To be specific, the phone houses a Snapdragon 732G. This is a powerful chipset which makes sure that your phone will neither hang nor slow down. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite comes in three variants,

  • 64GB storage, 6GB ram
  • 128GB storage, 6GB ram
  • 128GB storage, 8GB ram

We would recommend that you think long and hard before selecting a variant, depending on your application. All three are good, though.

Finally, the phone features a 4250mah battery, which can guarantee life going beyond two days. On standby mode, the phone can easily last up to or more than four days. It seems that this phone is built for battery power as well as processing power. It even has a decent camera and you can never run out of space on this phone either.

Color variants & price

Currently, the phone is going to be available in three colors: Blue, Pink and Black. The price of the phone is expected to be Rs.43, 999/- This seems like quite a good bargain, considering the impressive features we are getting. Xiaomi has managed to impress yet again!

Huawei Addresses Rumours Related To A Smart Car!

Huawei smart car releasing or not?
Image Source: chinadaily.com.cn

There are numerous smartphone brands today. Each day, we see technological progressions and they don’t seem to slow down. Whether you are a fan of old tech or new one, you might just be surprised by how fast the world is progressing.

In light of such advancement, Huawei has decided to address rumors that have been circulating the internet since last year. These include Huawei dipping into other domains apart from the smartphone one.

Over the last couple of years, Huawei has been seen rising high as one of the prime companies in smartphones. Their range can be either budget or flagship both. If you have a lower budget, you can still bump upon a decent Huawei phone.

They have robust capabilities and a plethora of features. Despite the pandemic hitting, Huawei sales have never been higher! The writer of this article even has friends who are using their phones and are quite content with them.

Huawei News:

About last year, when coronavirus came, news began cycling the internet. This involved a certain company which was, allegedly, entering into the automobile industry. While it is common to have smartphone companies’ work in auto technology, it is rare to see a company shift towards the manufacture of one. The Apple car is one of the rare news that we have heard about a technological brand shifting to automotive. However, even that car is not entirely confirmed yet.

Similarly, it was rumored that Huawei is also working on a smart car. When another piece of news hit the desk, people became even more certain. It was said that Huawei had quite an expensive product currently under working. The price bracket of that product did point towards the possibility of an electric vehicle. This was pointed towards also because the current era is trying to shift towards electric. So the public thought that maybe Huawei is one of them too.

Addressing the Public:

While a lot of people had gotten their hopes up, it seems that the story is not meant to be, at least for now. In a recent statement, Huawei has shut down all rumors concerning the production of a vehicle. While they have said that they will provide technology for other automobiles, they have no intention of making their own any time soon.

Huawei has set up a lot of deals with car makers over time, 18 to be exact, and they intend to deliver fully on those promises. The technology that Huawei is currently integrating is among the latest ones being used today. We hope that the company continues to fly high and rise as a manufacturer of sorts.

While it is quite apparent now that no Huawei smart car is on its way, we can always hope. The hope can lead us to a time where there may be a car by them. Imagine that! A car by Huawei might just be a sight worthy of seeing.

Graana.com Sells Land On Moon In Its New Campaign

Are you done with planet Earth?

Good news – you can now buy land on the moon and escape Earth in just a few simple steps with Graana.com.

We can bet that this is exactly what almost everyone wants right now given the current situation of our planet.

Known for its quirk, Graana.com has always known how to grasp the attention of an audience with out-of-the-box campaigns and creative yet effective marketing strategies. This Pakistani real estate company does it once again by playing to its strengths and ‘Selling Land on Moon’ in their new campaign, launched on April 1st.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

It is said that laughter is great medicine – making it the perfect antidote, especially when times are heavy and downright hard due to the rising COVID-19 cases along with the scares.

The best and one of the most creative day’s for brands to prank people and lighten the mood, April 1st was done right, especially with this brilliantly executed April fool’s Day prank!

‘Chand ka tukda chaheye? Hum la k dain gain na’ – the eye-catching visuals went abuzz creating hype on the social media platforms, leaving many believing (be it for a split second) that they can own property on the moon and that these guys CAN pull this off.

The company went as far as setting up ‘dummy’ landing pages, asking people to register for their plot files and receive ‘Lunar Deeds’.

Brands have always had the freedom to spread any kind of message they want to through their campaigns or bandwagon on trends. Playing smart and staying true to their brand relevance, Graana.com’s execution of the April fool’s day campaign seems inspired by a clip from an Indian drama going viral.

We end it by vouching that this ride to the moon and back has been better than all else.

Lays Pakistan’s April Fool Prank – A Success Or Failure?

Lays Pakistan has recently taken to social media announcing a new flavor to hit the market. And the flavor is something you would have never imagined. They are calling it ‘Doodh Patti’ flavor.

Lays Pakistan -Doodh Patti Flavor

Now, we are no strangers to doodh patti. It is another name for a chai that can humorously be called our national drink as well. So if someone tries to irresponsibly use chai as a tool in making their product, we don’t take kindly to it but given that they published it today, on first April, we are forced to think that it is an April fool stunt. And fortunately, we have this way out because we don’t even want to imagine how chai-flavored chips would taste like.

https://www.facebook.com/LaysPk/photos/a.516146111745301/4493877933972079/

People react to the news

Netizens had a mixed reaction to the chips. Some called it out to be an April fool prank while others made fun of it considering it to be real. Some even got serious. I mean who has a past experience of having dipped a potato chip in their chai; or let me rephrase, which sane person has an experience of having dipped a potato chip in their chai.

Lays

But the most recommended and popular suggestion to Lays Pakistan amongst the comments remained the Naswaar flavor. Of course, this was the case aside from all the taunting comments to Lays for the chips to air ratio in their chips bag.

While some people were able to tell that this is photoshopped because the shadow on the teacup is a huge giveaway. However, most others have bought into the idea. So now, when Lays will take it to their social media revealing it to be a prank, many hearts will be broken.

So to answer the question, seeing that most people thought it to be real, I think it is safe to say that it will be labeled a success at the end of the day.

Endangered Leopard Killed By Villagers In Abbottabad & It’s Brutal

leopard killed abbottabad
Image Source: World Atlas

An inhumane and brutal act of violence against an endangered animal – a leopard – has been reported in Abottabad. It has left many upset and raises questions on wildlife treatment in Pakistan.

What Happened?

A leopard had wandered into a more human-populated area in Palak, Abottabad, KP. As is the case, many endangered animals and wildlife are found in the area of KP as it is a mountainous region. They have their habitats and can often wander to other regions.

However, a group of men passing by spotted the animal and acted barbariously. As videos can show, the leopard was actually scared of the humans. It was hiding and it did not attack the humans as is being claimed. The main person also claims he was attacked which goes against what the evidence – the video – shows.

The men, however, proceeded to corner it and kill it. The worst part is that they chopped off its paws as well to keep as a trophy.

Footage from The Scene 

These videos were captured by someone witnessing the scene. The fact that they did not stop it also makes them complicit in the crime. Beware, the faint-hearted or animal lovers should not watch this!

What Has Been Done About It?

Wherever the case is being reported or covered, people are only horrified. Not at the fact that the leopard had wandered into a human-populated space, but how they killed it for no reason. People are condemning the men for their act.

Moreover, three men who were identified have also been booked under Wildlife Act 2015. Under the act, people can face a year in imprisonment or a fine of Rs. 100,000 or both. Authorities report that they should have notified relevant authorities rather than taking the action into their own hands.

Is This New?

Pakistan is currently undergoing mass dog culling sprees in Karachi and Lahore. Playful, innocent and loving strays are being murdered in cold-blood and then tortured for no reason at all. NGO’s such as JFK Animal Rescue and Shelter in Lahore and ACF in Karachi are working day and night to prevent these acts.

Pakistan’s wildlife species have also entered into several endangered lists which includes this leopard as well. Killing them for trophies or fun actually disrupts the entire environment which is lost on people. As if killing the animal was not enough, his paws were chopped off as well which just shows how callous we are towards animals.

This can only stop when the government creates and implements laws for the protection of animals. We have a long way to go.

When the entire Shahroz Sabzwari and Sadaf Kanwal fiasco went on, Syra Yousuf maintained silence. She was spammed and provoked to say something but she never taunted her ex-husband or his actions.

Something to Learn Right Now?

As we battle with the third wave, ill-health and the loss of loved ones or worry for them, this lesson is important. It teaches us that what comes our way is an uncontrollable force.

We could choose to mull over it or we could choose to confront it head-on. Mind you, this is not to glorify one approach over another. Grieving, allowing oneself to be true to their emotions is important. However, we often tend to self-victimise and see the glass half-empty.

Here’s your reminder to see it as a glass-half-full or a glass refillable courtesy of Syra Yousuf!

How To Uplift Your Spirits

Here are a few ways to power through these times in an uplifting manner and emerge as only stronger and brighter! Firstly, focus on self-care. Don’t forget to take out time for yourself to do what you love. Maybe pick up a new hobby!

Allow yourself to relax and let go of control a little. If there is anything this pandemic has taught us, it’s that we can’t control everything. Care for people from afar but don’t feel responsible for their sickness or health.

Lastly, have small goals. Making small goals and achieving them really can change how you feel about your failures and yourself a lot. Begin today for a better tomorrow!

In another recent and surprising news, Karachi University will be launching electric shuttles as part of a new project. This step proves that Pakistan is working towards moving at the same speed as the rest of the world.

Electric vehicle in the automotive industry

All around the world, people are giving more and more attention to electric vehicles. The auto industry giants are launching electric vehicles one after the other. In fact, Volkswagen changed its name to Voltswagen as an April Fool prank to put emphasize the phenomenon.

So it was about time that Pakistan also gets the electric vehicles normalized on the Karachi roads. While we may not be there yet, we are definitely on the way. Just a few days ago, we came across Sindh Transport Minister inaugurating electric buses on the roads. It was said that about 100 of them would be dispatched with time.

And now, Karachi University will be adding electric shuttles within the campus.

Electric Shuttles in Karachi University

The electric shuttles will range from 6-seater to 23-seater and will be beginning their route from all the gates, including Maskan and Shaikh Zayed Gates. Everyone within the university, the students, faculty, and staff, will be able to utilize the service. A minimal fare has been set for the bus, which is a great initiative considering the students had to make use of the pricey rickshaws to move from department to department.

This shuttle is being launched thanks to Karachi University signing the MoU with NTS Logistics. To sign the MoU on Wednesday, KU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Khalid Mahmood Iraqi and the CEO NTS Logistics Muhammad Umer Nouman were present at the VC Secretariat.

In a world with increasing global warming, this eco-friendly project is a healthy development by Pakistan. Hopefully, more such initiatives will be taken in the future.

This year Holi is celebrated on 28th March 2020, on Sunday. Holi is a festival that the Hindu community celebrates all over the world. Also known as the festival of colors, the festival of spring. Traditionally the Holi marks the arrival of spring and the end of winters.

A huge number of people celebrate Holi every year. Among celebrities, Hira and Mani are the ones catching the eyes of netizens this time. The video is doing rounds on social media. In the video, Hira and Mani were playing with colors while dancing to some good music.

The Moral Police on Holi 

As always, the moral police were quick to jump in the comments sections. They left the comments saying how celebrating Holi does no aligns with the teachings of Islam. Some even mentioned that they should not divert from their religion to have some fun.

Shab-e-Barat, a Holy night for Muslims to ask forgiveness from Allah, was observed on 29th March 2020, on Monday. What sparks more rage among netizens is that Hira and Mani celebrated Holi despite knowing that.

Is It Okay to Celebrate Other Cultures? 

The idea behind Holi is to have fun times together. It is to mark the arrival of spring and to celebrate happy times. Celebrating a culture that belongs to a different religion does not mean that we must follow that religion’s teachings. In Pakistan, eight percent of the total population consists of minorities.

As a nation, we need to acknowledge that minorities also have the right to practice their religion in our society. However, the majority of people do not seem to get this wrapped around their heads. There is no harm in celebrating different cultures. However, one should always remain accustomed and know when to draw the line.

Usman Mukhtar joined the industry as a filmmaker and a stage actor. But his fame within the masses came from his role as Altamash in the television show Anaa. The second lead overshadowed the lead characters with his mind-blowing acting. The Altamash from the show has gotten married to Zunaira Inam Khan and revealed to us as a surprise through social media.

Usman Mukhtar gets married following SOPs

Usman posted his picture on social media after the nikkah and shared a heartfelt caption along with it:

“Zunaira Inam Khan. Thank you for making me the luckiest man on earth. I haven’t felt such happiness in a very long time. You’ve stood by me in the moments I was down and amplified the happy moments. Been my rock and my support. I am blessed.

Dear World – I married this amazing woman today in a small socially distant gathering. Our big day was supposed to be on 2nd April but due to the lockdown restrictions from 1st April, we had to pull it back. We were tested and followed SOPs. We both need your duas and blessings.”

In all the pictures that have emerged on social media, not only do you see the bride and groom wearing masks but also you don’t see an influx of guests as we saw in another wedding attended by celebrities. In fact, the beautifully decorated stage only has a couple, the Molana, and another person during the nikah. And after that, you see two other people. Of course, there must have been more but it’s evident from the pictures that the rest of the invitees are practicing social distancing.

Netizens gave their blessing

Netizens came to Twitter to wish the couple all the very best.

Let’s hope that they get to experience all the happiness written for them. And they should because they seem amongst the very few sensible people who understood the danger of covid. This is why they had a wedding upholding the SOPs. So all the best, Mr. and Mrs. Mukhtar!
