After a police investigation, some of Fatema Suhail’s accusations on hr husband, Mohsin Abbas Haider have been confirmed and the actor has been proven guilty by a lower court in Lahore.

While the allegation of demanding money from Fatema and breaching her trust were found to be untrue, the allegation of threatening her was found to be true. However, Mohsin’s lawyer had a different story to tell after the court’s verdict:

Both husband and wife have been asked to present their final arguments in the next hearing.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

July 21, 2019: Popular Pakistani actor, model, and singer Mohsin Abbas Haider has been accused of domestic violence by his wife, Fatima in a social media post that has now gone viral.

Fatima Naqvi claims that she caught her husband cheating in Nov 2018, however, he turned violent when she tried to confront him.

The comprehensive post described the details of her abusive relationship with the actor.

“Zulim Bardast kerna bhi Qunah hai! (It’s a sin to tolerate oppression),” she wrote as she began to reveal what she has gone through.

Fatima claims that she caught Mohsin cheating on November 26, 2018, while she was pregnant with their son who was born on May 20, 2019.

“When I confronted him, instead of being embarrassed he started beating me. I was pregnant at that time!” she wrote in a Facebook post.

“He pulled me from hair, dragged me on floor, kicked me several times, punched me on face & threw me on the wall. I was brutally beaten by my husband. My caretaker!,”  the wife wrote.

She went on to add that after Mohsin abandoned her, she contacted a friend and was rushed to a hospital where the doctor initially refused to give her a checkup because it was a police case.

Fatima was relieved to find that the baby was not harmed and decided to make the marriage work for her child, despite knowing that he was in a relationship with another woman.

“On May 20, 2019, I was blessed with a beautiful boy. I had surgery due to complication. While I was in operation theater in Lahore, my husband was in Karachi sleeping with his GF, Nazish Jehangir, an emerging model/actor,” she wrote.

“He later posts depressing statuses to get public attention,” Fatima further accused.

She also claims that Mohsin denied taking responsibility for their son.

“I asked him to take our son’s responsibility where he started beating me again! He refused to do anything for his son! Now I had Enough!,” she wrote adding that she will not tolerate any kind verbal or physical abuse anymore.

“Truth told! Now I will see you in court Mr. Mohsin!” she concluded the post

Fatima has also shared pictures of her bruised face and arm as proof of the domestic violence along with a copy of the police report she filed against Mohsin.

We reached out for a comment from the man himself.  “My verdict will come out and all the questions will be answered soon,” replied the actor. He said he will be addressing a press conference on the matter.

Top 4 Budget-Friendly Smartphones to Buy Under PKR 30,000

best smartphone under pkr 30000
Credits: PhoneWorld

Today’s youth is enamored with social media. With the rise of TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram Stories around the world, it’s safe to say that creating and consuming video content are two things that are the closest to the hearts of the youth.

That, and of course, gaming. With new titles coming out daily, each featuring increasingly flashy graphics and innovative game-play to boot, mobile games attract a great deal of attention from smartphone users. Having a handset that runs new games is just one factor.

Users look for a device that also has a great camera and a good battery life sbesto it does not run out of power while they are out and about. And finally, what good is any device if it doesn’t look good? Smartphones have become an accessory and perhaps even a fashion statement.

There’s another key criterion that many users are particularly sensitive about, that is price. They tend to gravitate towards buying handsets that are more value-oriented, often at the expense of a quality user experience. Which is why we have compiled a list of the best, most value-for-money smartphones under the range of PKR 30,000/-.

1. HUAWEI Y7 Prime 2019 – Special Edition

HUAWEI Y7 Prime 2019 – Special Edition makes it to the number one spot for the best smartphone under PKR 30,000/-. This device became a category leader upon its first debut back in January and now it has made a comeback with its super luxurious and exquisite leather design. This device makes it to the top because it is fully loaded with cutting-edge technology all through its design, display, speed, and camera. It features a large 6.26-inch HUAWEI Dewdrop display, a 13MP+2MP AI Camera with Master AI support, a powerful 4,000 mAh battery and an upgraded 64GB of storage. The camera quality and long-lasting battery are the two main features Huawei is recognized for, and rightfully so. Plus the Faux Leather design in Amber Brown really gives this phone an edge over competitors. Overall this smartphone promises a complete flagship experience that outdoes all other entry-level smartphones currently available on the market. It retails for PKR 28,999/-.

2. Samsung Galaxy A20

Samsung Galaxy A20 comes with 6.4 inches OLED Panel, a dewdrop notch and minimal bezels. It is powered by Exynos 7884 chipset and 3GB of RAM with a built-in storage of 32GB. There is a dual-camera setup on the back with 13MP (F1.9) + 5MP (F2.2) and a single camera on the front 8MP (F/2.0). The device is slick and it’s extremely comfortable to hold and operate. Samsung’s One UI is sublime and very simple to navigate and get used to. The camera performance and battery life is also impressive. However, Galaxy A20 is primarily meant for very basic users due to the choice of chipset and performance configuration. Casual games are playable, but hardcore usage doesn’t run smoothly. This device costs PKR 29,999/-

3. OPPO A5

Oppo A5 comes with a notched display of 6.2 inches with 720×1520 pixel resolution and 4230 mAh battery. The phone has 32/64GB storage variants with 4GB of RAM and a 13MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture. The performance of this phone is pretty decent, however it’s the good battery life and camera quality which makes this phone valuable. The only drawback would be that while day to day tasks work decently, intense usage and gaming suffers due to the mid-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset. Oppo A5 costs PKR 29,999/-.

4. VIVO Y15

Vivo Y15 is another strong contender in this category. It has a clean and sleek looking design with a dewdrop notch and 6.35 inches LCD display. It is powered by 2.0GHz Octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone offers a triple camera setup at the back and one at the front with an amazing 5000 mAh of battery. While the specifications looked promising, and the device performs well, the only improvement we wish for is the quality of its rear-camera which many users felt was not quite up-to the mark. This device retails for PKR 29,999/-.

foodpanda Goes an Extra Mile to Deliver your Favourite Food!

foodpanda

Food apps have made our lives extremely easy and become widely famous all over the globe. Our favourite meals are just a click away, however, the only drawback is hunger pangs and heartaches that come with late deliveries.

We’ve all experienced the pain of ordering food through an app and waiting for aeons only to be left guessing whether we’ll receive the food or not, whether the rider got lost or kidnapped.

Well, foodpanda is committed to delivering your food and willing to go an extra mile for that very purpose.

Be it your home, office, airport or even the train station, thankfully, one can order their favourite cheese pizza, juicy burgers or scrumptious biryani for delivery with just a few taps on the phone screen.

A recent event confirms that even if you forget to pack food for a journey, foodpanda can be your saviour proving not all superheroes wear capes!

“May Allah bless the foodpanda guy who delivered us burgers at Hyderabad railway station right next to our train,” shared a satisfied customer.

“We boarded from Karachi in a hurry and unfortunately had no food along with us. As we all were hungry, there came a vicious plan in mind to order Burger Lab in train via foodpanda and receive at Hyderabad railway station. We planned to give it a try and wow just wow it worked out for us. Just Ate NUKER CHICKEN in train. Amazing experience!”

Now that’s some true appreciation coming straight from the tummy! The review also highlighted that the rider waited for 45 mins at the platform.

The order was placed in Karachi and received in Hyderabad exactly how the consumer required.

We’ll have to admit that no one understands the matter of the tummy better than the panda!

Toyota Yaris Sedan’s Launch Might be Delayed to February 2020

The all new Toyota Yaris Sedan (Yaris Ativ) was all set to be launched in October 2019.

However, word on the street is that the launch might be delayed till February 2020.

The Yaris has been anticipated for a while now in Pakistan. Previously, it was highly speculated that the Indus Motor Company (IMC) was planning to replace their popular 1.3 liter Toyota corolla GLI & XLI with their variant Vios Sedan in mid-2018.

However, the unfavourable economic crisis and Rupee devaluation led the plan to be shelved. Then, news broke out that Toyota will be introducing the Yaros Sedan in place for the Vios.

However, once again given the current condition of the automotive sector in Pakistan, the manufacturers are re-considering to push the launch date to 2020.

Meanwhile, auto part vendors have also shared that the production of Yaris Sedan is in process and the parts will be delivered by November-December of 2019.

The Yaris Ativ was first launched with a 1.2-liter petrol Dual VVT-I engine mater and Super CVT-i transmission in Thailand back in 2017 complying with Eco-car regulations.

We now have to see when the Yaris Sedan will be on the streets and how will it give compettition to new players like Hyundai and KIA in Pakistan.

Kamila Shamsie’s Nelly Sachs Award Revoked, Hundreds of Authors Protest!

Kamila Shamsie

British-Pakistani author, Kamila Shamsie‘s Nelly Sachs prize was withdrawn after she voiced her concerns and protested boycotting Isreal.

More than 250 fellow writers came to defend her stance on the matter, amongst these writers are Arundhati Roy, JM Coetzee, and Sally Rooney.

The judges had initially chosen Shamsie for writing that “builds bridges between societies”, but changed their minds on learning that Shamsie was supporting the BDS movement.

They issued a statement saying:

Political positioning to actively participate in the cultural boycott … contrasts with the claim of the Nelly Sachs prize to proclaim and exemplify reconciliation among peoples and cultures,

Whereas the writer’s supporters are asking;

What is the meaning of a literary award that undermines the right to advocate for human rights, the principles of freedom of conscience and expression and the freedom to criticize? … Without these, art and culture become meaningless luxuries.

Over 100 writers have signed an open letter stating that the Nelly Sachs prize has chosen to “punish an author for her human rights advocacy”. The letter has been signed by Noam Chomsky, Amit Chaudhuri, William Dalrymple, Yann Martel, Jeanette Winterson, and Ben Okri to name a few.

Armed with Faith: Pakistani Documentary Wins An Emmy!

armed with faith

The most recent feather in our hat has been added by Armed with Faith, a Pakistani documentary that has won an Emmy for Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary yesterday, September 25th, 2019.

Yes, you read it right. THE EMMY’S.

Around 2 months ago the documentary was nominated for the Emmy’s, and it’s great to see that it has now won an Emmy!

What Is Armed With Faith All About?

Armed With Faith follows the men of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bomb Disposal Unit (KPK BDU) to the front lines of the war against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan.

The lawless province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — considered the gateway for terrorists from neighboring Afghanistan — is the backdrop of the film. The battle for control of this porous border area remains critical to the stability of Pakistan and global security.

Should Pakistan, a nuclear power, fall into the hands of terrorists, the entire world is at risk. We witness firsthand the dangerous struggle undertaken by the men of the KPK BDU to protect their country against the Taliban threat in the land they both call home.

Now that a Pakistani documentary has been nominated for the Emmy’s, we hope that we also win the award.

All the best to Geeta Gandbhir, Asad Faruqi, and the rest of the people behind the film!

Watch the documentary here and let us know what you think:
