Samiya Hijab confesses feelings for Yasir Alam

Tamasha 5 continues to attract significant attention from viewers as the latest season of ARY Digital’s popular reality show brings new friendships, rivalries and emotional moments to the screen.

Since its launch in 2022, the Big Brother-style reality series has developed a strong following across Pakistan and the wider Subcontinent. The show is produced by Salman Iqbal and Jarjees Seja and is hosted by Adnan Siddiqui.

This season, several contestants have formed close bonds inside the Tamasha house, but the friendship between Samiya Hijab and Yasir Alam has become one of the most discussed relationships among viewers.

Their growing connection has sparked interest, particularly after Samiya openly spoke about her feelings for Yasir during a recent episode.

While having a conversation with Yasir, Samiya admitted that his success in one of the tasks made her genuinely happy. She recalled watching him thank the audience after winning and asking viewers to continue supporting him so that he could eventually take the Tamasha trophy home.

Samiya revealed that she immediately responded by saying “In Sha Allah,” explaining that she normally does not use the phrase when talking about someone else’s success. Her reaction appeared to show just how strongly she has begun to care about Yasir and his journey on the show.

She also acknowledged that both of them are competing for the same trophy and that, ideally, neither contestant wants to lose. However, Samiya said she had reached a point where Yasir’s victory would make her happy even if she could not achieve the same result herself.

The Tamasha contestant also asked Yasir not to simply respond to her feelings because she tends to overthink such situations. Her comments reflected the emotional confusion she has been experiencing while trying to balance her personal feelings with the competitive nature of the reality show.

Yasir, meanwhile, thanked Samiya for the unconditional support she had shown him during his task. In response, Samiya casually said that this was what friends were for, although her earlier comments suggested that their bond may have become more meaningful to her.

Samiya later expressed her frustration about the situation and spoke about how difficult it has been for her to deal with her feelings for Yasir while living inside the Tamasha house.

With contestants constantly surrounded by cameras, competition and emotional pressure, personal relationships can quickly become complicated.

The growing bond between Samiya and Yasir has now become one of the season’s most talked-about dynamics. Whether their relationship remains a close friendship or develops into something more remains to be seen as Tamasha 5 progresses.

For now, Samiya’s candid confession has given viewers another emotional storyline to follow, while Yasir’s response and their continued interactions are likely to receive even more attention in upcoming episodes.

    Indian law graduates oppose CJI Surya Kant as convocation chief guest

    Graduates of the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research in Hyderabad have urged the university administration to reconsider its decision to invite Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the chief guest at its upcoming convocation. The students have submitted a written request to the vice chancellor, registrar and faculty members. They said the university should consider constitutional values, justice and respect for citizens’ grievances while deciding who should preside over such an important academic event. The students’ concerns are linked to the Supreme Court’s handling of a petition related to police action during a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on July 20. The protest was held under the banner of “Chalo Sansad”. The students have raised questions about the court’s decision not to list the petition for an urgent hearing at the time. In their representation, the graduates referred to reports about a hearing held on July 22. They claimed that the lawyer representing the protesters was told not to waste the court’s time. The students also cited reports that the lawyer offered to show videos of alleged police excesses during the protest. According to the petition, the chief justice reportedly declined to watch the footage, saying he did not have time. The graduates further alleged that the lawyer was not allowed to fully explain the reasons behind the protest. They said the matter deserved greater consideration because of the allegations surrounding the police action. The students also said a separate letter had previously been sent to the chief justice. The letter reportedly requested the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of the alleged police action. According to the students’ petition, more than 170 protesters were injured during the incident. They claimed that women and children were also among those injured. The graduates said their concerns were based on the principles they had been taught during their time at the law university. They argued that constitutional rights and citizens’ freedoms were central to their legal education. They said receiving degrees from a chief guest whose recent conduct they believe raises questions about the handling of allegations of police violence would be a matter of concern. The students have therefore asked the university to reconsider the invitation. They have also sought consultation with graduating students before making a final decision. They further requested a meeting with the university administration to discuss the issue. The graduates also asked the administration to respond to their concerns without delay.

    Saudi Arabia detains more than 14,000 people in nationwide enforcement campaign

    Saudi authorities arrested more than 14,000 people during a week long nationwide campaign targeting violations of residency, labour and border security laws, according to the Kingdom’s Ministry of Interior. The ministry said joint inspection operations carried out between July 23 and July 29 resulted in the detention of 14,154 individuals. The campaign formed part of ongoing efforts to strengthen border security and ensure compliance with the country’s immigration and labour regulations. Official figures showed that 7,103 people were arrested for violating residency rules, while 3,654 were detained for breaching border security laws. Another 3,397 individuals were taken into custody for labour related offences. Authorities said the inspections were conducted across different regions of the Kingdom with the participation of several government agencies. The ministry also reported that 1,418 people were arrested while attempting to enter Saudi Arabia illegally. Among them, 54 percent were Yemeni nationals and 45 percent were Ethiopian nationals, while the remaining one percent belonged to other nationalities. In addition, security forces detained 23 people who were allegedly trying to leave the country through illegal routes. Authorities also arrested 17 individuals accused of helping violators by transporting, sheltering, employing or concealing people who had breached residency, labour or border security regulations. Officials stressed that anyone assisting illegal entry or providing support to those staying in the Kingdom unlawfully would face strict legal action. According to the ministry, 30,679 people are currently undergoing legal procedures related to residency, labour and border security violations. This group includes 28,187 men and 2,492 women. Officials said 17,903 individuals have been referred to their respective diplomatic missions to obtain travel documents needed for their return, while 5,424 have been directed to complete travel arrangements. So far, 12,613 people have been deported after completing the required legal process. The Ministry of Interior warned that facilitating illegal entry into Saudi Arabia or providing transportation, accommodation or any other form of assistance to violators is considered a major criminal offence. Those found guilty could face prison sentences of up to 15 years, fines reaching one million Saudi riyals and the confiscation of vehicles or properties used in committing the offence. Authorities also said offenders may be publicly identified as part of the legal penalties. The ministry urged residents to report any suspected violations through emergency numbers designated for different regions of the Kingdom. Officials said public cooperation remains essential in supporting efforts to enforce immigration laws and maintain national security. Saudi Arabia regularly conducts nationwide inspection campaigns aimed at regulating the labour market, strengthening border controls and ensuring that foreign residents comply with the country’s legal requirements. The latest operation reflects the government’s continued focus on enforcing immigration and employment regulations across the Kingdom.

    Elizabeth Olsen makes rare appearance with newborn in Los Angeles

    Elizabeth Olsen has made a rare public appearance with her newborn child in Los Angeles, weeks after reports emerged that the actress had quietly welcomed her first baby. The WandaVision star was spotted taking a walk in Los Angeles on August 15. She appeared to be enjoying a relaxed outing with her newborn son while being accompanied by her partner, Robbie Arnett. Olsen kept a low profile during the outing. She wore a wide-brimmed hat and appeared to take precautions to keep the baby protected from the sun. Arnett was seen walking alongside her as the family spent time outdoors. The appearance comes around two months after reports surfaced that Olsen was expecting her first child. The actress had not publicly announced her pregnancy at the time. Neither Olsen nor Arnett has officially confirmed details surrounding the baby’s arrival. The couple has also kept information about the child’s name, gender and birth date private. The latest photographs are therefore being viewed as the strongest public indication that the couple has welcomed their first child. Olsen has previously spoken about the possibility of becoming a mother. In a 2021 conversation with SiriusXM, she discussed the challenge of balancing her acting career with the possibility of having children. The actress also recalled speaking with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about how pregnancy could affect her professional commitments while working in the entertainment industry. In December 2025, Olsen reportedly reflected on motherhood and marriage during a podcast appearance. She said she had once been uncertain about whether she wanted to get married or have children. Her relationship with Arnett eventually influenced how she viewed those possibilities. Olsen and Arnett have maintained a notably private relationship. The couple began dating in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. They later married privately before the COVID-19 pandemic, with Olsen eventually confirming the marriage during interviews. The couple has generally avoided putting their personal life in the spotlight. They have preferred spending private time together rather than frequently appearing at public events.

    Tabish Hashmi called out on using Kashmir for publicity

    Tabish Hashmi has built his public profile on warmth, humour and a reputation for speaking his mind. His show Hasna Mana Hai made him a household name, and his film debut in Aag Lagay Basti Mein widened that profile further. But a sequence of events over the past few days has placed him at the centre of a controversy that cuts deeper than most he has faced, because it touches on something Pakistani audiences take very seriously: the sincerity of public voices when they speak on Kashmir. The sequence began when Hashmi posted on his Instagram announcing that Hasna Mana Hai had come to an end. The announcement landed at a moment of heightened public emotion, coinciding directly with his video in support of Kashmiri protesters who were demonstrating against what they described as unrest and violence in the region. The timing created an obvious and powerful impression in the minds of many followers: that his show had been shut down as a consequence of his stand on Kashmir. The response was immediate. Hashmi received an outpouring of solidarity and support from social media, with many people praising him for paying a professional price for speaking up. Then came the reveal. It turned out that Hasna Mana Hai had not been cancelled at all. The show’s set was simply being redesigned and renovated. The announcement of the show’s end was a marketing exercise to generate excitement around the new set reveal, and the Kashmir video had been used in proximity to that announcement in a way that allowed the association to form organically in the public mind without being explicitly stated. Content creator and commentator Ali Arif was among the most visible voices to call out what had happened. In a video addressing the controversy, he went through the sequence of events and pointed out precisely what Hashmi had done: posted a video about Kashmir, allowed the public to connect it to his show’s apparent end, absorbed the sympathy and support that followed, and then revealed the whole thing was a set change. He criticised Hashmi specifically for not clarifying the situation while the solidarity was pouring in, arguing that the failure to correct the impression was itself the problem. The public reaction was sharp and widely shared. “This is what is wrong with this nation. Using a tragedy for your gain,” wrote one person. Another said simply, “Such a sad state of affairs.” A third was even more pointed: “He made a mockery of taking a stand.” The controversy has prompted a genuine conversation about the ethics of celebrity activism in Pakistan, particularly when serious political or humanitarian situations are in the vicinity of promotional content. Whether the proximity of the Kashmir video and the show announcement was deliberate or poor timing, the result has been a significant erosion of goodwill from an audience that had, until this week, been squarely in Hashmi’s corner.

    NA committee summons Lahore metropolitan officer o…

    ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly Standing Committee on Rules of Procedure and Privileges has summoned Metropolitan Corporation Lahore’s Metropolitan Officer (Regulation), Jawad-ul-Hassan, to appear in person before the committee on September 1. The summons were issued on the direction of committee chairman Afzal Khokhar after the officer failed to attend an earlier committee meeting despite being served a notice. According to the National Assembly Secretariat, Jawad-ul-Hassan has been directed to appear at 2pm on September 1 in the Constitution Room of Parliament House, Islamabad. The committee took notice of his absence from its August 12 meeting and decided that his personal appearance should be ensured at the next proceedings. The summons were issued under Rule 227(3) of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the National Assembly, 2007. The provision allows the committee to take steps to secure attendance when required in connection with parliamentary proceedings. The official notice also warned that failure to comply could lead to further action under the powers available to the committee. These powers include authority similar to that of a civil court for enforcing attendance and requiring the production of relevant documents. To ensure that the summons are properly served and implemented, the National Assembly Secretariat has sought assistance from the Punjab chief secretary. The inspector general of police Punjab has also been asked to provide necessary assistance, within the law, to facilitate the officer’s attendance before the parliamentary committee. Meanwhile, the chief officer of the Metropolitan Corporation Lahore has been directed to ensure that Jawad-ul-Hassan is informed about the summons and appears before the committee personally. The latest development represents an escalation following the officer’s earlier failure to attend the proceedings. The committee is now seeking his direct appearance rather than allowing the matter to proceed in his absence. The September 1 hearing is expected to provide the committee an opportunity to question the officer directly and examine the circumstances surrounding his previous non-appearance.

    West Indies post 344 as Sajid Khan shines, Pakistan face must-win Test

    PORT OF SPAIN: Pakistan’s hopes of leveling the two-match Test series remain alive after restricting the West Indies to 344 all out on the opening innings of the second Test, thanks largely to an impressive four-wicket haul from off-spinner Sajid Khan. After winning the toss at Port of Spain, West Indies captain Roston Chase opted to bat first, a decision that paid dividends as his side produced several valuable partnerships to build a competitive first-innings total. Middle-order batter Justin Greaves led the resistance with a composed 73, while captain Chase contributed a determined 70 to anchor the innings. Opener Brandon King added 46, with Shai Hope making 29 and Amir Jangoo chipping in with 26. Pakistan’s bowlers, however, fought back effectively after the hosts appeared set for an even bigger total. Sajid Khan emerged as the standout performer, using sharp turn and disciplined lines to finish with four wickets and halt West Indies’ progress at crucial moments. Fast bowlers Obaid Shah, Mohammad Ali and Ali Usman also made significant contributions, claiming two wickets each to ensure the home side was bowled out for 344. Speaking at the toss, Pakistan captain Babar Azam revealed that he would also have chosen to bat first had he won the toss. He expressed confidence in his squad, saying the team was determined to play positive cricket and bounce back strongly after losing the opening Test. On the other hand, Roston Chase said his team wanted to turn its home ground into a fortress and therefore retained the same playing XI for the crucial encounter. The second Test carries enormous significance for Pakistan, who trail 1-0 in the two-match series. A victory is essential to square the series, while another defeat would hand the West Indies an emphatic series triumph. With the hosts setting a challenging target of 344 in the first innings, all eyes are now on Pakistan’s batting lineup. The visitors will need a disciplined and resilient performance to seize control of the contest and keep their hopes of salvaging the series alive.
