Dr Nabiha Ali Khan addresses Haris Khokhar’s divorce notice

Social media personality and medical professional Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan has formally addressed receiving a divorce notice from her husband, Haris Khokhar, bringing a definitive end to months of intense public speculation surrounding their fractured marriage.
The couple, whose lavish wedding celebrations previously went viral across Pakistani digital platforms, found themselves at the center of overwhelming online scrutiny following rumors of a rift. Public concern intensified after Dr. Nabiha spoke candidly during a live television appearance, breaking down in tears as she detailed severe emotional distress and alleged ongoing interference from her in-laws.
​Confirming the latest legal developments, Dr. Nabiha acknowledged the receipt of the formal divorce notice initiated by Khokhar, stating that personal differences and mounting friction had made reconciliation impossible. She shared that despite making genuine efforts to preserve her home and prioritize family life over her professional commitments, the relationship deteriorated beyond repair.
​The dispute sparked a fierce online debate, particularly after Khokhar issued public statements refuting his wife’s claims. Denying allegations of mistreatment, Khokhar maintained that his family had been unfairly maligned on live broadcasts and asserted that the decision to part ways stemmed from irreconcilable personal incompatibilities rather than domestic misconduct.
​Responding to the ongoing media storm, Dr. Nabiha voiced deep frustration over how their private ordeal has been monetized by content creators and digital news outlets. She issued a direct plea to netizens and social media commentators, asking them to refrain from sensationalizing the dissolution of her marriage for online engagement.
​”I request everyone to please stop making content out of our personal life. This is a private family matter, and turning someone’s emotional pain into social media debate is deeply unfair. I built my home with love, and despite the differences that led us here, I ask that people respect both sides and refrain from spreading further hostility.”
​Reflecting on the painful transition, Dr. Nabiha emphasized that while she had consistently hoped for a peaceful resolution, the legal notice officially sets the divorce process in motion. She urged her followers and the wider public to give both families the necessary space and privacy to navigate the formal legal proceedings dignifiedly without enduring further public trials on social media.

    Gulf allies reportedly lose confidence in Trump over Iran war

    Several US allies in the Gulf are reportedly becoming increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump over what they see as a lack of effective diplomacy to end the war between the United States and Iran. According to a report by The Washington Post, officials from Arab, European and US circles said governments in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain were growing increasingly concerned about the Trump administration’s approach to the conflict. The report said Gulf allies were particularly worried that the Trump administration had failed to advance the diplomatic efforts needed to achieve a peaceful settlement with Iran. According to the newspaper, some Gulf states have also started discussing whether continuing to host major US military bases on their territory remains in their national interest. Three current US officials and a former American diplomat reportedly told the Washington Post that the debate had intensified after months of war and continued missile and drone attacks by Iran and groups allied with Tehran. The officials said some Gulf countries were questioning how beneficial it was to host large US military installations while also facing potential security risks linked to the conflict. One senior Gulf official was quoted as saying that Trump had started the war while Gulf countries were paying the price. Despite the growing frustration, Gulf states continue to regard Washington as a major security partner and an important supplier of military equipment. The United States maintains major military facilities in Qatar and Bahrain. These bases have long played an important role in Washington’s military presence and security strategy in the region. However, the reported dissatisfaction is prompting some Gulf governments to consider alternative security arrangements. Some countries have also started exploring other options to reduce their dependence on the United States for defence and regional security. The recent mutual defence agreement between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan has also attracted attention in this context. A senior European official reportedly described the agreement as a signal to Washington. According to the official, the so-called Makkah defence agreement indicates that Gulf countries may no longer want to rely exclusively on the United States for their security. The development reflects growing concerns among some US allies about the consequences of the Iran conflict. While Gulf states continue to maintain close relations with Washington, the war has encouraged discussions about diversifying their security partnerships. The reported shift could have wider implications for US influence in the Gulf. Any reduction in reliance on American military protection could encourage regional countries to strengthen defence cooperation with other partners.

    Gohar Rasheed criticises celebrity culture

      Actors Gohar Rasheed and Khaqan Shahnawaz recently shared their views on Pakistan’s entertainment industry, discussing everything from celebrity culture and political awareness to the Aurat March and the treatment of artists behind the scenes. During the interview, Gohar Rasheed expressed concern over what he sees as a growing lack of awareness among many celebrities. According to him, several actors and public figures avoid discussing political or social issues, choosing instead to remain neutral in order to protect their public image. Rasheed said that many stars are reluctant to speak not only about Pakistan’s political matters but also about important international events. In his opinion, this tendency to remain silent reflects a broader lack of general knowledge within the entertainment industry. He argued that many personalities are more focused on maintaining popularity than engaging with issues that affect society. He also criticized the industry’s increasing obsession with social media success, saying that likes, followers and online engagement have become more important than artistic excellence. Rasheed noted that many people in showbiz are competing for digital numbers instead of concentrating on improving their craft. He believes this shift has weakened the creative standards of the industry and distracted performers from meaningful storytelling. The discussion later moved to the Aurat March, Pakistan’s annual movement advocating for women’s rights. Rasheed clarified that he supports the overall goals of the campaign, particularly its efforts to promote equality and highlight issues affecting women. However, he said that he disagrees with some of the slogans displayed during the marches, arguing that a few of them can be interpreted as disrespectful or controversial. Using item songs as an example, Rasheed explained that he opposes anything that objectifies women and believes campaigns for women’s rights should communicate their message in a way that appeals to a wider audience. He suggested that activists can continue advocating for equal rights while choosing language that is less likely to divide public opinion or shift attention away from the movement’s main objectives. Khaqan Shahnawaz offered a different perspective, defending the Aurat March against criticism. He argued that many people focus only on a small number of controversial slogans while ignoring the movement’s broader mission. According to Shahnawaz, the campaign raises awareness about serious issues including acid attacks, gender-based violence, femicide and the denial of basic rights to women across Pakistan. He said the Aurat March is one of the few public platforms that consistently highlights these problems and demands meaningful reforms. Shahnawaz added that criticizing the wording of a few slogans overlooks the larger struggle for justice and equality. He also emphasized that the frustration expressed by many participants reflects the realities faced by women who experience discrimination and violence. Shahnawaz further argued that the language used during protests should not overshadow the importance of the causes being raised. In his view, people should pay greater attention to the issues themselves rather than attempting to dictate how protesters express their emotions. He also said that participation in the Aurat March should not automatically define a celebrity’s responsibilities as a public figure. Beyond social issues, Rasheed highlighted long-standing problems within Pakistan’s entertainment industry. He called for fairer treatment of actors, writers, directors and technical crew members, stressing that many professionals continue to face delayed payments and inadequate financial recognition for their work. He also urged producers and production houses to ensure timely compensation and a fair distribution of royalties, saying that everyone involved in creating television and film projects deserves respect and proper remuneration. Rasheed warned against exploiting creative professionals, adding that those who mistreat workers may eventually be held accountable for their actions. On the professional front, Gohar Rasheed is preparing for several upcoming television projects, including Fanaa, Ae Dil, Hasrat and Jindo. Meanwhile, Khaqan Shahnawaz continues to build his acting career with performances in dramas such as Hadsa, Sukoon and My Dear Cinderella, while also maintaining a strong presence as a digital content creator.

    Javed Akhtar says internet discourages originality

    Javed Akhtar has been writing words that endure for more than five decades, and in a candid conversation with Vogue India, he turned his gaze toward what he believes is happening to creativity in the digital age. What he found does not reassure him. The veteran lyricist and screenwriter argued that the internet and its algorithms have created a culture of creative fear, one in which people are no longer willing to take the risk of doing something that has not already been done before. “The echo chambers created by the internet have made most people afraid to do something for the first time,” he said. “Once someone else does it, they’re fine to follow in their footsteps.” He extended that observation into a broader concern about how people engage with ideas and the world around them. “People no longer want to pause, think, analyse or sit with an idea. They are living happily, so why would they bother to think about this universe or the vastness of nature? For them, it is a waste of time.” For Akhtar, this impatience is incompatible with the kind of work that lasts. “Meaningful creation requires time, discomfort and reflection,” he said, adding that his own willingness to question dominant voices and widely accepted ideologies has always come from exactly that kind of sustained engagement with ideas. He was particularly pointed about the music industry and the way commercial priorities have pushed the role of lyrics to the margins. “Today, words have become less important because the marketing team has decided that slow music won’t trend,” he said. The result, in his view, is an industry that remixes old material with inferior new writing rather than producing something genuinely fresh. “But then they take those same songs, edit the mukhras and remix them with some inferiorly written antaras. There was a time when writers had more space. Today, other forces dictate what music gets made. And yet, songs that are decades old still endure, while many recent ones have a short shelf life.” His advice to young writers was direct and unglamorous. Read more. Not only classical literature and celebrated authors, but light reading too. “The real loss is not in reading something trivial but in not reading at all,” he said. On the creative process itself, Akhtar drew a distinction that cuts to the heart of what separates craft from genuine art. “All arts can be divided into two parts. On one hand, there’s imagination, passion, fantasy and romance, and on the other, there is craft. You can learn the craft in a crash course. But imagining, fantasising and romanticising cannot be learned. There are no courses for yearning.” He closed with a lesson passed down from his father that has stayed with him throughout his career. “It is very easy to write in difficult language, but very difficult to write in easy language. When you write simply, there is no space for your idea to hide behind big words. Only if you are totally convinced of what you are writing can you afford to use transparent language.” It is a principle that has shaped some of Hindi cinema’s most enduring words, and one that no algorithm is likely to teach.

Fans have continued to express appreciation not just for his career, but for his openness in sharing both serious and joyful moments with his audience over the years.

    Iran rejects talks on ceasefire extension

    Pakistan is making diplomatic efforts to help extend the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, as the current truce is scheduled to expire on Sunday, August 16. Sources said Islamabad is trying to use the understanding reached under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding to encourage both sides to maintain the ceasefire and return to negotiations. According to the sources, mediators believe additional time is needed to bridge differences between Washington and Tehran. Diplomatic efforts are therefore continuing to prevent the situation from deteriorating after the current ceasefire period ends. However, an Iranian senior official gave a different assessment of the situation. The official said there have been no discussions between Iran and the United States regarding an extension of the ceasefire. Iran has maintained that Washington must return to the agreement and honour its previous commitments. Tehran has also demanded a clear and credible timeline for the implementation of those commitments before any further understanding can be reached. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has made strong statements about the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed that the United States now has complete control over the vital waterway and said Iran has limited options to challenge the American naval blockade. The Strait of Hormuz remains a major international shipping route and plays a crucial role in global energy supplies. Any prolonged disruption in the waterway could have serious consequences for oil and gas markets and international trade. Iranian military officials have warned that a renewed US offensive could lead to a wider confrontation. An Iranian military spokesman said energy transmission networks, power plants and infrastructure connected to the global internet could become targets if American military action resumes. The warning has raised concerns that any collapse of the ceasefire could expand the conflict beyond conventional military targets and affect critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed hope that additional countries will join the Makkah Defence Agreement. He indicated that broader participation could strengthen regional security cooperation. In another development, US Central Command said a Panama-flagged cargo vessel attempting to breach the naval blockade was disabled after a US helicopter fired a missile at the ship. The incident has further highlighted the risks facing commercial shipping in the region amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran. Separately, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi discussed the situation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a telephone conversation. Takaichi called for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened once negotiations between Iran and the United States reach a successful conclusion.

    Cristiano Ronaldo set to enter acting after World Cup defeat

    Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for a surprising new chapter away from the football pitch, with the Portugal superstar reportedly set to make his acting debut in an upcoming football drama series. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is expected to appear in “Day 1s”, a new series centred on the world of football agents. According to British media reports, Ronaldo will make a cameo appearance while also taking on the role of executive producer.

British actor Damian Lewis is set to play the lead role, while British rapper Dave and newcomer actress Carlotta Banat are also part of the cast.

The series is already in production, with some scenes reportedly filmed at The Hive Stadium, home of English League Two club Barnet. Thierry Henry also joins the cast Ronaldo will not be the only major football name making the jump into the fictional world. Former France and Arsenal star Thierry Henry is also expected to appear in a cameo role. Interestingly, the concept for “Day 1s” was reportedly developed by Darren Dean, Henry’s former agent, who is also involved in the project as an executive producer. The involvement of major football personalities could make the series particularly appealing to fans who want to see what happens behind the scenes of the sport. Streaming battle could be next Reports suggest that several major streaming platforms could show interest in acquiring the rights to “Day 1s”, potentially triggering strong competition for the series. For Ronaldo, the project represents more than just a brief appearance on screen. In addition to his football career, he has expanded into business, media and other entertainment ventures in recent years. His role as both actor and executive producer could therefore signal the beginning of another major chapter in his career. After years of dominating football headlines, Ronaldo may soon have audiences watching him for a completely different reason — not for what he does with a football, but for what he does in front of a camera.
