Sarah Khan and her husband Falak Shabir are among the most lovey-dovey couples to have existed in our entertainment industry. From the moment their wedding functions began, they have ensured to keep their fans in the loop about how their relationship is. From Falak proposing to Sarah when she is clad in a grand-looking red dress to Falak bringing red roses to her, everything gets documented on social media.

In a similar story shared by Falak on his Instagram, Sarah is opening her fast with iftar, and Falak is filming the moment. They look too cute together. Evil eyes off!

Below is Falak’s Insta story:

But people did not like this video clip and started criticizing Raqs e Bismil actress. They said that earlier, Sarah seemed very innocent, which is why they loved her. But now, the videos and pictures that she frequently posts with her husband have begun to give a vibe of Shahroz Sabzwari and Sadaf Kanwal, and Ahsan Mohsin and Minal Khan. The two couples that the Pakistani audience does not like in general.

Not only that, but they also raised the point about religion. According to netizens, the comment in the video attack a religious obligation, fasting. They clarified their point by saying fasting has to show simplicity, but Sarah and Falak are becoming showoffs.

Some even said that amidst these COVID times, telling people how happy they are is a very insensitive thing that they could have done.

Sarah Khan and her reasoning

However, if you delve a little into Sarah’s account, she shared an interview two days ago where she may have already answered these questions.

The reason she chooses to share such cute moments with her husband on social media is that she wants to show that men who shower love on their wives also exist. She said that in our media, we only get to hear about how evil men are. This implies that many people have begun to believe that to be manly, one needs to be evil. But looking at Falak Shabir and Sarah Khan, this stereotype will start to get questioned.

And hence, we will begin to see men who do not exert evil just to be called manly.

COVID-19 Vaccine: 5 Tips To Overcome The Fear Of Needles

Did you know at least 10% of the population has a needle phobia because of which they won’t seek essential medical care? This is a major concern for health experts at a time when the pandemic looms at large and vaccinations are in process.  

Why Is This Important?

This is an important time to address needle phobia. Being brave means one is afraid to do something but they must do it for the greater good. Some of the symptoms experienced amongst those who have needle phobia are a racing heart or sweating. Or it could also be a sleepless night in the days leading up to an appointment.

Moreover, some people also experience what’s called a vasovagal response which is a sudden drop in blood pressure that leads to dizziness and fainting. This can happen before, during, or after needle injection which obviously sparks anxiety.

1. Get professional help

Professionals can use exposure therapy to tolerate the distress. These features gradually and systematically exposing you to fears. Therapists can also teach you applied tension techniques that can prevent nausea and fainting from a vasovagal response.

2. Talk To The Nurse Before

Nurses and administrators of vaccines can help you. They can support you, instruct you to lay down, make your muscles tense, etc. They can also help you tense your muscles for 20 to 30 seconds.

This can help especially if you’ve fainted in the past because it can raise your heart rate and blood pressure.

3. Have a support buddy

Having a support system there can be helpful. See if you can schedule your vaccine appointments with a friend. Or simply call the vaccine centre and ask if it’s allowed to bring a support person. 

4. Distract Yourself

The actual shot is just a few seconds but the anxiety can be overwhelming. Having a distraction can help refocus your mind away from the anxiety, especially when waiting for a turn.

You could listen to something that helps you calm down or speak to the nurse about something at that time.

5. Focus On The Benefits

Finally, remind yourself why you’re getting vaccinated— it is for the greater good. Think of all you can do without fear after you get it done which is meeting your family. Also, know that a vaccine can prevent a severe case of coronavirus— wouldn’t you prefer that?

Take this difficult step for yourself and others.

A gaming console made entirely of gold and meant for royalty? Sign us up (without the hefty price tag!)

24-Karat Gold Wii Tennis

Back when people couldn’t make their stunts viral on Twitter, people actually used to implement their crazy ideas. Take this 24-karat gold Wii made out of gold for the Queen made as a publicity stunt. 

The video game company THQ made the console for the queen to promote the launch of its Big Family Games line.

Nintendo also said in 2013 that it was ceasing production of the once-popular Wii. It launched in 2006 and sold over 100 million units. The guy selling it on eBay made it three years ago for royalty.

It Can Be Yours!

By chance you have got a spare #300,000 in your pocket, you can buy the exact Wii console. Donny wrote on eBay that the console still functions properly and is in good condition.

A collector who goes by Donny is selling his golden rooster. He was not the creator of this console but he bought it a few years ago in a listing. However, when interviewed, he said he had kept it “lowkey” for 2 years since it is a severely prized possession. The producers from the YouTube channel People Make Games dug into the sale and got in touch with Donny.

Why Is He Selling It?

Donny also goes by the alias of Filleru, who is responsible for the listing on eBay. He believes the Wii could be worth $1 million but he would settle for $300,000 to finance his home hunt. The “top-end gaming industry people agree that the price is much more” than what he’s asking.

This shows that Donny is really in need of funds and Wii could be the perfect item to sell. When Donny was asked if he would ever sell it “back” to the Queen, Fillerup denied it.

Crazy eBay Listings

Although eBay has become less popular now, it is still the powerhouse for all auction buys. We have also been guilty of sporadically buying things we did not need when the price has been too attractive. However, would you impulsively buy a 24-karat-gold Wii console?

While it may seem completely crazy to do so to you, some gaming fanatics would not think twice. Here’s to hoping the Wii moves into a new collector’s hands and Donny gets his home.

Haniya Khan Leaks Audio Clips Of Alleged Husband Aamir Liaquat

Haniya Khan

[Update]: Haniya Khan reveals details about marriage with Aamir Liaquat. She says that the nikah happened in front of a few witnesses. She names them as well. The witnesses, as she claims, are Emaan Zara, Adeel Suri and Moiz Umer.

Aside from that, she also released what seems like an accumulated audio clip which combines audio calls of different instance together in one place. Listen to them because the person speaking does sound very much like Aamir Liaquat.

[April 27th, 2021]: Since yesterday, social media has been running wild ever since Haniya Khan came forward claiming to be the wife of Aamir Liaquat. By our count, she would be third in number.

Early morning today, Aamir Liaquat released a response video in which he says that he is not involved in three marriages and that he is only married to Tuba. After that, he recited some poetry with indications that could be a message to Haniya. Have a look:

But later, an audio clip went viral where we can hear him convince Haniya about how his marriages came about. According to that, Aamir married Bushra because of his mother. He married Tuba because of the love for the Holy Prophet. So what is he saying, is the third time a charm?

[April 26th, 2021]: Aamir Liaquat Hussain achieved fame by hosting a show for a local channel. He later joined politics as well. Now, from time to time, he becomes the star of controversies. The one that lasted the longest was the one surrounding his second marriage. Aamir got married to Tuba, a showbiz person. At first, it was shown that everything was well with both wives co-existing, but the controversy evolved to Tuba becoming the reason Aamir Liaquat divorced his first wife.

Aamir Liaquat third wife

However, Aamir, it seems, is not done with marriages as of yet. Another rumor that began circulating on social media was that he has married for the third time to another small-time showbiz personality, Hania Khan. But the marriage rumor did not surface in isolation. It comes accompanied by some accusations from Hania, the alleged wife. According to these accusations, Aamir Liaquat is a cheater and a traitor, while Tuba Aamir practices black magic.

These accusations were made in a video that a few news channels have already covered. Have a look at the video:

https://www.facebook.com/117704236282313/videos/815573992692018

Allegations by Hania Khan

The claim Hania makes in the video is that Aamir Liaquat manipulated her into thinking he was good while her parents were terrible. She did not feel like herself, felt paranoid, and even hit her parents. She also says that Aamir cheated on her with Tuba.

Another claim/accusation comes with an apology. She apologizes to all whom she may have misbehaved with, saying that the behavior was due to black magic by Tuba. She further noted that she was getting treatment for her voice that got damaged due to back magic. Moreover, she said that she was suicidal (attempted suicide four times).

She even shared screenshots of conversations with someone she claims is Aamir Liaquat.

There has been no response from Aamir Liaquat or Tuba about these allegations. The couple does seem very busy because, as of late, they haven’t shared any pictures either. We will have to see the route they take to handle this issue because even if there is no truth to these allegations, Hania has mentioned that she is suicidal. So one does not know how she would react to what Aamir Liaquat or Tuba Aamir has to say.

Pakistan Is Soon To Recieve DFSK And Huawei’s Premium SUV

DFSK and Huawei new car

It seems that a lot of automotive development is taking place in Pakistan. Additionally, Pakistan is also seeing an in-flow of newer brands. It is of the utmost importance that we try out best to promote Pakistan. This is because we want to see the country flourish. In light of that, DFSK and Huawei have plans to release yet another SUV in Pakistan. Yes, we did mention the name Huawei, so we know this is their first car too. Let us dive a bit into the details of this news.

We recently came to discuss the prospects of a car by Huawei. However, many people soon came to know that those were merely rumours and Huawei had no plans to solo manufacture a car. What we did not know, though, is that Huawei was in talks with a collaborative release. We are aware that the technology used in the car must have been provided by Huawei but we did not know the extent of their role. The vehicle is a premium SUV and it is hybrid in nature. This means that it has a lot to offer in exchange for monetary investment.

DFSK and Huawei release car together

Huawei and DFSK Combine

While it is true that both operate as different entities, this is a pleasant sight to see. One thing that has become common nowadays is shifting domains. This means that a company decides to move into an area that it usually does not operate in. We saw proof of this just recently when Xbox was talking about releasing a gaming laptop. It brings joy to the reader’s eye to see how well industries are developing. To have this vehicle, in Pakistan, opens up a lot of prospects for the future of the country.

Coming towards the details of the vehicle, it is going by the name of SF5. It is one in a long incoming series of vehicles under the two banners. This is Huawei working with the electric division of DFSK. The vehicle is said to have two electric motors, one on each axle. Additionally, the front axle will hold a four-cylinder petrol engine. In this entire vehicle, Huawei has designed the electric motors, infotainment system OS, and the sound system. DFSK has worked on the engine and the car will have a range of 1000Km. The electric motors alone work at 180Km.

Interesting Developments:

According to Prince DFSK, the vehicle is set to hit the roads of Pakistan soon. We may just see the vehicle being driven quite sooner than later. The SUV can accelerate from 0-100 in 4.7 seconds. Sounds like quite the power for that 1.5L engine.

The price of the vehicle is not confirmed yet. However, it is expected that the SUV will start from Rs.60 lac and go as high as Rs.1 Crore. While this may seem like a hefty investment, it might just be worth the bargain due to the features that this car offers. Check out Google for the feature details and further specifications.

Burger King Introduces New Vegan Royale & People Have Questions

Burger King has announced that they will be introducing an all-new Vegan Royale in their UK outlets. Isn’t that just superb for all our vegan friends out there? And people do seem excited because they are loaded with inquiries about the burger.

Vegan Royale – Burger King

Seeing this interest, Burger King has taken it upon them to answer most of these questions to ease the consumers of their worries. Of course, this wouldn’t have been necessary had their tweet contained the information. But since consumers and Burger King are interacting, this must be a positive indication for the brand that the product may just turn out to be successful

Plant-Based Whopper and Vegan Royale 

One inquiry was how exactly Vegan Royale and Plant-Based Whoppers different. This question arose due to the description written on the website for the two burgers. For the customer, it seemed that the Whopper seemed more vegan than the Vegan Royale itself.

Burger King replied to the customer detailing the difference between the two products.

Drinks aren’t vegan?

Another potential customer noticed the lack of drink in the picture, so they asked why is that so. Why is a drink not included?

Well, according to the brand, their drinks have not been declared as vegan, which is why they can’t show them in the same picture as other vegan products.

Burger King! Mayonnaise, vegan or not?

In that picture, one can also see some kind of sauce. It looks like Mayonnaise, and people are questioning if a product can really be vegan when there is mayo in it.

It turns out, even the mayo is vegan in the Royale.

Which grills, though?

Another Twitter user asked if the vegan royales are cooked on the same grills as the other Burger King products.

Good news for the people, it is cooked separately.

So tell us, if you had the chance, would you have a bite of it?

While some are excited about the product, other vegetarians are avoiding it because having the Vegan Royale would mean supporting an industry that kills animals.

Aamir Liaquat’s ‘Cheesy’ Poetry Is Making People Cringe

Aamir Liaquat started out as a religious scholar on the show “Aalim Online”. That show was certainly very sophisticated. But as his presence in showbiz spanned longer, his personality started changing. Now, we see him doing almost anything and we do not get shocked. It is just a routine thing for us to come across what new weird act he is a part of, case in point would be his third marriage rumors or his naagin dance.

Aamir Liaquat and his cheesy poetry

In recent news, a video clip has gone viral where he is reciting poetry and there could be nothing more cheesy than those two stanzas.

Have a look at the video!

The poetry goes somewhat like this:

Ghussa bohot krte ho yaar
tum log ghussa bohot karte ho
kia mujh se mohabbat ho gayi hai
jo itna ghussa karte ho

chalo hogayi hai to phir
kacchi kacchi daal pakka pakka qeema
main tera ertugrul
tu meri haleema

Even if he was trying his hand at comical poetry, he could have respected the art a little and not joined two lines just on the basis of them rhyming together.

It left the netizens utterly shocked.

Netizen and their comments

People do not hold themselves when calling celebrities out at their stupidity. They are extremely generous about it. But it is one of those times when we do not stray far from them in fact our own opinion aligns with them.

Aamir should remember his journey and what exactly introduced him to showbiz. It was not his comical acts or cheesy poetry, it was a sophisticated version of him that seemed like a religious scholar. He should pay respect to his past by being a little more sensible in what he posts and what he lets go viral about him.

Gucci & Facebook File Joint Lawsuit Against Person Selling Fake Products

Gucci and Facebook have teamed up to take down the business of counterfeit products. Is this the new power duo?

The Counterfeit Business

The counterfeit business has been gaining popularity incredibly over the last few years. That is primarily because the retailers started utilising social media to increase their reach. Previously, they only had hidden stores in nooks and crannies of popular markets.

However, to their dismay, this also means that they come under the radar of the original brands who do not tolerate this. Counterfeit business damages not only the original brand’s reputation but also its sales. So what is Gucci up to?

Lawsuit Filed in California

With earnings in billions for both, one can only imagine the team of lawyers Gucci and Facebook have brought to the table. The two have filed a joint lawsuit in California against a woman using Facebook to sell fake Gucci.

In a statement put forth by Gucci, they noted that in collaboration with Facebook they have identified the defendant using multiple accounts. Said multiple accounts on Facebook and Instagram are being used to sell counterfeit products.

“More than one million pieces of content were removed from Facebook and Instagram in the first half of 2020. This was based on thousands of reports of counterfeit content from brand owners, including Gucci,” the statement divulged. It also told that in 2020 only Gucci’s in-house intellectual property team found four million online counterfeit product listings.

Setting New Legal Trends?

Though this is not the first time a company has gone after its counterfeit counterpart, it is the first time for Gucci and Facebook. Moreover, this is a unique example being set because it shows that as the counterfeit business becomes modern, so can the solutions being taken. 

However, a social media company and a designer label coming together is not unprecedented. Amazon has previously backed Valentino and Ferragamo to halt the proliferation of counterfeit products sold via social media. 

What’s Causing This Spike?

Though for the original companies this is a condemnable action, it has its own background. Online sales of counterfeit luxury handbags, shoes, and garments have spiked because the pandemic has reduced the affordability of original products.

However, since brands have become so integral in our social fabric, people seek ways to find them nonetheless. If the original can not be afforded, the counterfeit appears as the next best alternative.

Sindh Police Officer Spotted Giving Masks To Roadside Vendors

With the ongoing third wave of coronavirus, the SOP’s are put in place once again. The closure of restaurants, dining, and recreational places resulted from the NCOC decision, which took place in the meeting last week. Further notifications are being released for the Eid weekend to control the number of cases. The usage of masks is the most emphasized one to combat the virus.

Now that the task forces are recruited to make sure that the public follows the guidelines. Police officers are roaming around and making sure that strict measures are being taken. The markets are closed as early as 6 pm. The office timings are reduced. The number of people in social gatherings is limited, and many guidelines are being issued every week given the situation in the country.

A Recent Video

Recently, a video went viral of the police officer who was distributing masks to roadside vendors. The video was shot in Tando Bago, Badin.

This act of kindness was received well by the netizens, who gave very mixed reviews. Some of them were proud of the gesture, while some mentioned how this must be done not for the sake of views but also humanity.

The Use of Masks

The use of facial masks is one of the most important measures to control the spread of coronavirus. The shortage of masks and sanitizers in the first wave had created many problems for people to get their hands on the necessities. Now when there is an ample supply and availability of both, we must ensure as a nation to follow all the protocols and the guidelines our government provides us. The resources of our country can not handle a massive plunge in the number of cases. It is our due responsibility to cooperate so that we can protect ourselves and those who are around us.

Hania Aamir In Hot Waters For Complaining About Feeling Thirsty

Some celebrities are beacons for controversies and scandals. Whatever they do, whatever they say, it gets highlighted, and people start bashing them. Hania Aamir is one such celebrity.

Hania Aamir Scandals

She broke up with Asim Azhar; she got bashed. She posted a picture of her pimples; she got bashed. Not to forget the time when it was rumored she has had cosmetic surgery done. So you name a time, and you will find that her name comes up amidst controversies, and she has been bashed during that time.

This time again, she is at the root of another issue and is getting bashed yet again.

What is it this time, though? Her recent Instagram story was where she wanted to post her live reaction of ‘Roza lag raha hai‘.

She said that it was 2 pm only and she was already hungry. In fact, she has been hungry ever since she woke up.

To summarize, she probably wanted to gather sympathies but instead got criticized.

Have a look at the story!

Netizens, however, didn’t take kindly to it. They were not happy with her comments about a religious obligation. And although we may say exactly that within our close friends’ circle but people we are not close to, we do not appreciate it when we hear them say the same thing. Precisely this is what happened when Hania’s followers saw the story and began bashing her.

They called her out on everything, from her makeup to whether it even looked like she was fasting. Some schooled her on fasting and that God did not require her fast, so she could totally opt for not doing it.

Others trolled her, saying that she is not old enough (mentally) to be fasting anyway.

Ouch.

Let’s be a little more accepting of each other, guys. If someone is whining about her fast, she was doing it because she considered you all to be close to her. That said, her past scandals should have been a lesson that not all her followers are fans. But hey, it is her life, her rules.

The coronavirus can cause a neurological condition in human hosts. It has been associated with the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms. These include seizure activity, encephalomyelitis, acute flaccid paralysis, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome as cerebrovascular disease.

Last year ten reports of acute transverse myelitis (ATM) attributed to SARS-CoV2, and others were submitted to study the correlation between both. However, the study now suggests that the chances of a person getting an ATM are relatively positive after getting infected with the virus. The research was done after a case was discovered in Panama.

About The Neurological Condition 

Transverse myelitis is an inflammation of the spinal cord and can be caused by infections, immune system disorders, and other disorders that may damage or destroy myelin. Myelin serves as a defensive sheath that allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along with the nerve cells.

It is to be noted that there is no cure for transverse myelitis. The treatment is aimed at addressing symptoms and managing complications.

The Researchers Statement 

“We found ATM to be an unexpectedly frequent neurological complication of COVID-19,” write the researchers. “Most cases (68 percent) had a latency of 10 days to 6 weeks. That may indicate post-infectious neurological complications mediated by the host’s response to the virus.”

“This review confirms that ATM is not uncommon as a neurological complication associated with COVID-19 infection around the world. It is responsible perhaps for 1.2 percent of all neurological complications caused by this coronavirus.” Researchers concluded.

The team also noted that three ATM cases occurred in Astra-Zeneca vaccine trials.”The pathogenesis of ATM remains unknown, but it is conceivable that SARS-CoV-2 antigens – perhaps also present in the AZD1222 COVID-19 vaccine or its chimpanzee adenovirus adjuvant – may induce immune mechanisms leading to the myelitis,” they write.

Further studies will help find more answers and the antigens involved. However, it’s important to note that we’re still a long way from understanding everything that COVID-19 brings with it, even as vaccines roll out across the world.

In the early hours of today, 28th April, India faced a high magnitude earthquake. The seismology department in India has calculated it to be of up to 6.4 Richter scales. This earthquake hit the country at 2:21 GMT which is 7:51 am India time and the quake has damaged some of the buildings as well.

The origin of the earthquake is being triangulated in Assam and was felt throughout Northeast India.

Earthquake in India and neighbors

There were other neighboring countries that also experienced this earthquake. They were Myanmar, Bhutan, China, and Bangladesh.

The tremors post-earthquake (aftershocks) were felt twice; once at 7:58 am and another at 8:01.

The United States Geological Survey said, “The quake hit at a depth of 34 km (21 miles) near the town of Dhekiajuli, 140 km (86 miles) north of the main city of Guwahati.”

A resident businessman in Guwahati reported to Reuters, “Our entire multi-storied apartment has witnessed massive damage with roofs and walls caving in. Luckily no one got injured.”

Considering India is already facing harsh times due to COVID and its increasing hold on the masses, the fact that it has to experience an earthquake of such a high magnitude is cause for concern.

We hope the troubling times on our neighbor passes soon.

Apple’s AirDrop Could Leak Users’ Personal Data

Whenever a new product is released, feedback is given by the public. They are tasked with figuring out the good and bad points of said product. The surest way to get good feedback is to not release the product late. This means not to release a product after its launch date.

Now, every application and product can have loopholes or dangerous side effects. It seems that Apple’s AirDrop also has vulnerability inside it. While this may not be entirely surprising information, it is certainly alarming for routine AirDrop users. No one wants to have an open dangerous anomaly in their phone system.

AirDrop is an application that has been made specifically for Apple users. If you have an Apple product, be it the mac or the iPhone, AirDrop is a must built-in feature. It allows IOS users to transfer and share files with each other at great speed.

AirDrop makes use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It uses encrypted transfer techniques to make sure the files themselves aren’t compromised. However, there is a vulnerability present that can compromise the user’s device or their own personal information.

AirDrop Exposure:

The application itself makes use of hash functions when transferring files. During this, the hash functions exchange mobile numbers and email addresses of the user. Anyone who has set their file receiving settings to ‘Everyone’ is highly at risk. Additionally, if your share sheet is open when you are looking to connect with other devices, you are also at risk.

While the number and email are encrypted, a hacker close to the device, with Wi-Fi, can decrypt those encryptions. This means that you have to be quite careful when you use AirDrop. You never know when someone may be passing nearby with malicious intentions.

This exposure in AirDrop’s system was reported to Apple back in 2019. However, Apple did not respond or reply to the query and thus, it went unnoticed. Now, it seems to have sprung back up.

Safety First:

There are two possible scenarios under which a phone’s data can be leaked. The first one is, you keep your share sheet out in the open. The second is the hacker keeps their share sheet out in the open.

The second one is less likely to get a catch because the base is a lot smaller. So, the next time you use AirDrop, be very careful on which info to keep public and which to keep private. Additionally, always keep a strict eye around you as walls have ears too.

You never know when a simple song or photo exchange may end up costing you your user data. Finally, we hope that Apple finds a way to close this loophole, of sorts. If you wish to understand more about this problem and its solution, there is a research paper present online. It discusses the concept of ‘PrivateDrop’.
