With the new initiative, Azhar is not only celebrating the song’s popularity but also creating an opportunity for emerging musicians to work alongside an established Pakistani artist.

Pakistani actor and host Mariyam Nafees has called for the introduction of separate priority queues in Pakistan for people who may find it difficult to stand in regular lines for long periods. The actor raised the issue during a special Independence Day episode of Good Morning Pakistan, where she appeared alongside Sarwat Gillani, Amar Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Mohsin Abbas and Omair Rana. During the programme, Mariyam highlighted the difficulties faced by elderly people, pregnant women, young children and individuals with disabilities or health problems when they have to wait in long queues. She said priority lines are commonly available in many countries to facilitate people who need special consideration. In her view, young and physically fit individuals can generally wait longer, while vulnerable people may not be able to do so comfortably. Mariyam said Pakistan should also consider introducing dedicated queues at public offices and other places where people regularly have to wait for services. She stressed that simply allowing vulnerable people to move ahead is not always effective because some members of the public may ignore their needs. According to her, a formal priority system could make the process more organised and ensure that deserving people receive timely assistance. The actor’s comments focused on the broader issue of public behaviour and social responsibility. She suggested that a structured system could reduce disputes and make public spaces more accessible for those who need additional consideration. During the discussion, Saif Ali Khan also supported the broader point. He noted that the problem is not limited to queue arrangements. He pointed out that people sometimes give preference to friends, relatives or acquaintances at offices and other places. He argued that such preferential treatment should also be discouraged. The discussion drew attention to the importance of fairness in public spaces and equal access to services. Mariyam’s remarks have also sparked conversation about whether Pakistan should introduce more formal systems to assist elderly citizens, pregnant women, children and people with disabilities.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have once again attracted attention after sharing a romantic moment during a dinner date in London. The couple were seen leaving China Tang at The Dorchester this week while walking hand-in-hand along Park Lane. Their relaxed appearance together has added to growing interest in their relationship. Jenner looked elegant for the evening in a pale blue sleeveless pencil skirt that highlighted her model figure. She paired the outfit with a black snakeskin-style clutch and matching stilettos. The model kept her dark hair loose over her shoulders and completed her look with nude lipstick and sunglasses. Elordi, meanwhile, opted for a sophisticated pinstriped suit with a black tie and orange-tinted sunglasses. The actor was seen holding Jenner’s hand as they walked away from the hotel, giving photographers another glimpse of the couple’s growing closeness. The pair are currently in London as Elordi prepares for the premiere of his upcoming film The Dog Stars. The movie also features Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce. Their latest appearance comes amid continued reports about the couple’s relationship. Recent speculation claimed that Elordi had arranged a luxury penthouse stay for himself and Jenner at Claridge’s, reportedly costing around £60,000 per night. According to reports, the actor wanted to give Jenner a memorable experience with views across London. The reported luxury stay further fuelled public interest in their romance. Jenner and Elordi’s relationship became more widely known earlier this year after they were reportedly seen kissing at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty. Their connection had already attracted attention after they were spotted together on several occasions. Since then, the pair have reportedly spent time together during trips abroad, including visits to Hawaii and Japan. Their appearance holding hands in Tokyo also became a popular topic on TikTok and other social media platforms. The romance rumours had begun earlier, with Jenner and Elordi reportedly seen having an animated conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March. Their interaction prompted speculation that the two were becoming more than friends. Neither Jenner nor Elordi has publicly discussed their relationship in detail. However, their repeated public appearances and affectionate moments have continued to fuel interest among fans and entertainment followers.
