Nadia Khan issues blunt warning to Sajal fans

Pakistani television host and actress Nadia Khan has spoken about the online criticism she says she has faced from some fans of actress Sajal Aly.

The discussion took place during a recent episode of Nadia’s programme Kya Drama Hai, where she addressed reactions to her comments about the drama Zanjeerain.

Nadia explained that she had previously pointed out what she considered a technical mistake by the director while discussing the drama. According to her, she did not make a direct criticism of Sajal Aly, but some of the actress’s fans nevertheless brought her name into the discussion.

She said the situation became more noticeable after she praised actress Dur-e-Fishan Saleem for her performance in Dar-e-Nijat. Nadia claimed that some users then began discussing her comments on her other programme and linking the matter to Sajal Aly.

The host questioned why her comments about one actor or a director were being connected to another actress. She maintained that her original remarks were focused on the work and direction rather than on Sajal Aly personally.

Nadia also urged social media users to show more patience and avoid creating unnecessary controversies around actors. She suggested that fans should focus on supporting their favourite artists rather than targeting other people online.

According to Nadia, online fan conflicts can ultimately have a negative impact on the celebrities whom fans are attempting to defend. She said that social media discussions are widely visible and can affect how the public perceives an actor.

The television host also clarified that she was not accusing the actors themselves of creating the controversy. She attributed the situation to sections of their fan communities and said that the behaviour could unintentionally damage the reputation of the celebrities they support.

Nadia has remained a prominent figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry for years. Alongside her television work, she has developed a significant digital presence through her YouTube platform and social media accounts.

She is currently associated with programmes including Kya Drama Hai and Rise & Shine, where she regularly discusses television, entertainment and current trends in the industry.

    Bus crash on Hungarian highway kills twelve Polish…

    Twelve people died and dozens more sustained injuries after a bus carrying Polish pilgrims veered off a motorway in Hungary and crashed into a ditch early Sunday. Police said the bus overturned after leaving the M3 motorway, which links the Hungarian capital Budapest with the northeastern city of Nyíregyháza, at around 1:00 a.m. local time, or 2300 GMT Saturday. Investigators believe the driver fell asleep at the wheel, and he has since been taken into custody. State media reported that firefighters have rescued 35 of the 57 passengers and two drivers who were aboard the bus. According to the Hungarian news agency MTI, emergency crews initially worked to lift the rear axle of the 24 tonne vehicle to free people trapped underneath before cranes arrived on scene to lift the entire bus. Hungary’s ambulance service said it treated one person with life threatening injuries, nine others with serious injuries and 37 more with minor injuries following the crash. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar offered his condolences to the victims’ families and wished the injured a swift recovery. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed those sentiments and said he had ordered a special Polish aircraft carrying foreign ministry officials and medical personnel to travel to the scene, saying Poland stands together with those affected during the difficult moment. The bus had been returning from Bosnia and Herzegovina and was carrying pilgrims from Poland’s southernmost region of Podkarpacie, according to the Polish news agency PAP. Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said his Hungarian counterpart informed him that police had already begun questioning the driver as part of the investigation into the crash.

    Meet Abu Rohan, who performed 80+ TV nikahs

    If you have watched Pakistani dramas with any regularity, you have almost certainly seen Abu Rohan, even if you did not know his name. The senior actor has become one of the most recognisable faces in the industry, not for playing a hero or a villain, but for the very specific and endlessly repeated role of the Nikah Khuwan, the marriage officiant who presides over the wedding ceremonies that are a staple of Pakistani television storytelling. His face has appeared in nikah scenes across some of the most watched dramas in recent years, including Tere Bin, Siyani, Sunn Mere Dil and Yunhi. For many viewers, his presence on screen has become a kind of shorthand for the moment a drama is about to reach its emotional peak. In a recent interview with BBC Urdu, Abu Rohan finally spoke at length about how this unusual acting career began, and the story is as unexpected as the career itself. It started not in a drama studio but in a jewellery shop. Abu Rohan is, by profession, a successful jeweller based in Karachi. Around 35 years ago, a television channel invited him onto a morning show not to act but to answer viewer questions about gold. He explained what happened next in his own words. “Around 35 years ago, a television channel invited me as a jeweler. The owners wanted me to appear on a show where I would answer viewers’ questions about gold. When I appeared on the morning show, I caught the attention of drama makers. They felt I was comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s how I started acting in television dramas.” What followed was a career that spans decades and more productions than most full-time actors manage. “So far, I have solemnized Nikah in around 80 to 85 dramas,” he said. He also revealed that part of his career unfolded outside Pakistan. “I also lived in Bahrain for nearly eight years, where I took part in dramas.” On the nature of the role itself, he offered an insight that many viewers may not have considered. While the nikah khuwan is often a static presence on screen, drama does not always let him remain so. “There are scenes where fights break out during the Nikah, and I have to give different expressions. Usually, it’s a static character, but sometimes it requires proper acting. Directors and producers also cast me in other roles.” His fame among audiences has also brought some unusual requests, which he handles with thoughtful care. “Many people have invited me to officiate Nikah at their real-life weddings, but I politely refused because Nikah is a matter of religion. However, after the Nikah ceremony, I sometimes offer prayers for the couple’s happiness.” For a man who came to television to talk about gold, Abu Rohan has ended up leaving a very different kind of impression, one measured not in carats but in the countless wedding scenes that have made him one of Pakistani drama’s most quietly beloved presences.

    Manuel Neuer signals likely retirement at season’s end

    Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer has said it is “very likely” he will retire at the conclusion of the upcoming campaign, bringing an end to a career that has defined modern goalkeeping. Speaking at Bayern’s training camp in southern Bavaria, the 40‑year‑old confirmed that his one‑year contract extension signed in May would almost certainly be his last. “It certainly looks very likely I’m going to retire,” Neuer told reporters, adding that the strength of the current squad convinced him to play one more season. Neuer has battled recurring muscle injuries but remains a key figure for Bayern, who won the Bundesliga and German Cup double last season before falling to Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League semi‑finals. He missed the German Cup final against Stuttgart, with Jonas Urbig deputising in goal. The 2014 World Cup winner retired from international football after Euro 2024 but briefly returned for the most recent World Cup, where Germany exited in the last 32 against Paraguay. Since joining Bayern from Schalke in 2011, Neuer has collected 13 Bundesliga titles, six German Cups and two Champions League crowns. Despite hinting at retirement, he insisted the coming season would not be treated as a farewell tour. “I’m not playing these matches just to say, ‘This is my last game,’” he said.

    Heavy rain disrupts traffic, floods low-lying area…

    Heavy rainfall disrupted routine life across Lahore on Saturday, leaving several roads, underpasses and low-lying neighbourhoods inundated and causing difficulties for motorists and pedestrians. The downpour led to significant water accumulation in different parts of the city, slowing traffic and making several routes difficult to navigate. Residents in low-lying areas faced particular inconvenience as rainwater gathered on streets and roads. According to rainfall figures recorded by the Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa), Lahore received an average of 24.6 millimetres of rain. The highest rainfall was recorded at Lahore Airport, where 104mm was reported. Kahna received 75.6mm, while 62.6mm was recorded at Hadiara Defence Road and 58.6mm at Manawan. Rainfall was also recorded in Tajpura, Mughalpura, Shadipura, Defence Phase-VI, Farrukhabad, Saggian, Lakshmi Chowk, Chowk Nakhuda and other areas. Although the rain provided relief from the prevailing heat and brought cooler weather, waterlogging created problems for commuters and once again highlighted the challenges faced by Lahore’s low-lying areas during heavy showers. Wasa Lahore mobilised field teams and heavy machinery to remove accumulated water from affected locations. Officials continued drainage operations at several underpasses, major roads and low-lying points across the city. Wasa Managing Director Ghufran Ahmed inspected drainage activities at several key locations, including Mubeen Shaheed Underpass, Noor Jehan Road, MM Alam Road, Main Boulevard Gulberg, Qaddafi Stadium and Liberty Chowk. He also reviewed operations at Kalma Chowk Underpass and other emergency drainage facilities. Officials said disposal stations in areas affected by power outages were being operated with generators to ensure that drainage work continued without interruption. Wasa Vice Chairman Chaudhry Shehbaz Ahmed also inspected water drainage arrangements at several locations, including Shalimar Link Road, Bhagwanpura, UET and nearby areas. Meanwhile, Chief Traffic Officer Abdul Rahim Shirazi directed traffic officials to remain present in the field and closely monitor traffic flow and vulnerable points during the rainfall. Traffic police coordinated with Wasa teams to facilitate the removal of standing water and advised motorists to drive carefully on slippery roads. Drivers were urged to maintain a safe distance, avoid sudden braking and reduce speed. Motorcyclists were advised to wear helmets and avoid unnecessary overtaking. Citizens were also warned against entering roads where floodwater appeared deep or unsafe.
