Farhan Saeed, a well-known name in the Pakistani entertainment industry, has long been admired for his charming personality and acting skills. Apart from his successful career as a singer and actor, he has won the hearts of his fans with his roles in popular dramas and his effortless performances in romantic scenes.

Relation to Punjabi Accent

During the conversation, Farhan explained that his upbringing in a Punjabi Kashmiri family played a huge role in shaping his personality.

A True Romantic at Heart

Farhan Saeed, who played the role of the fun-filled romantic lead, also opened up by saying, “Yes, I am. I’ve been lucky to marry the love of my life and believe in love we see in happy endings.” He further added, “I don’t have to act when it comes to romantic scenes because I lived those emotions in real life. It comes quite naturally to me.”

Natural Relationship with the Romantic Role

Although Farhan Saeed has always been associated with romantic roles, Suno Chanda and Mere Hamsafar are the only dramas he has acted in where the character is similar to his real life.

Farhan mentioned how Arsal is so close to his personality and is all the more special because of the identification he carries with him.

Why Is PCB Hesitant To Appoint Mohammad Rizwan As Captain?

Mohammad Rizwan has been knocking on the door of Pakistan’s captaincy for quite a while now. Sure, one can raise questions over his T20 batting approach, but when it comes to leading the team? There’s very little doubt in Rizwan’s abilities.

Last November, when Babar Azam stepped down as captain, many assumed that Rizwan would be appointed as an all-format skipper. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) surprised everyone.

Instead of Rizwan, they handed the T20I captaincy to Shaheen Afridi and gave the Test captaincy to Shan Masood. And for the ODI side? The PCB hit the pause button—deciding to leave the position vacant until November 2024, when ODIs would be on the horizon again.

Fast forward a bit, and just before the T20 World Cup, they circled back to Babar for white-ball captaincy. And we all know how disastrous that decision was.

Now, with Pakistan about to head to Australia for three ODIs and three T20Is, and Babar officially stepping away from captaincy, it feels like the perfect moment for Rizwan to finally take over. But there’s no guarantee that it’s happening. Not yet, anyway.

Why All the Confusion?

Mohammad Rizwan is the obvious choice, no doubt. He’s consistent, experienced, and highly respected in the dressing room. Players listen when he speaks, and that’s half the battle when you’re leading a side. But despite all this, the PCB is still keeping their options open. Seriously.

There’s been chatter about Mohammad Haris, a relatively young gun, for the T20I captaincy. Saud Shakeel and Fakhar Zaman are reportedly being considered for both T20I and ODI captaincy. And just to spice things up, names like Shadab Khan, Salman Ali Agha, and Saim Ayub have been thrown into the hat.

Now, I’m scratching my head here. Why is there such a long list of candidates when Rizwan, a proven leader, is right there? And no offence, but a couple of these names are still trying to find their footing in the national team.

We can talk about how none of the above-mentioned players deserve to be captain right now, but that discussion is for another day. Let’s talk about Rizwan.

The Workload Argument

One theory being tossed around is that the PCB wants to manage Rizwan’s workload. They’re apparently toying with the idea of having separate captains for ODIs and T20Is or naming a strong vice-captain to share the burden.

On paper, it sounds reasonable. With Pakistan’s jam-packed schedule, maybe Rizwan could use some help. From November Pakistan is scheduled to play 18 ODIs and T20Is lined up against Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

They will then play a two-Test series in South Africa, then a tri-series at home and the ICC Champions Trophy. And let’s not forget, there’s a New Zealand series right before the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10. It’s a lot of cricket.

Head coach Gary Kirsten and the selectors have raised concerns about Rizwan handling this heavy load, which is why they’re considering appointing a different captain or a young vice-captain, who can step in to give rest to Rizwan.

Is There More to the Story?

While managing Rizwan’s workload sounds like a reasonable explanation, there’s a bit of a twist here. Mohammad Rizwan has been playing non-stop cricket since 2020, and other than a brief break during the Afghanistan series in early 2023, he’s always been on the field.

He is one of the fittest players in the Pakistan cricket team. Even when he’s dealing with cramps, the guy never misses a game. So why is the workload suddenly a concern now?

It makes you wonder—could there be something more at play here? Maybe something is going on behind the scenes. Whatever the reason, the uncertainty surrounding Rizwan’s future as captain is definitely raising some eyebrows.

ICC Takes Bold Steps To Save Women Cricketers From Social Media Hate

The International Cricket Council (ICC) isn’t just focusing on the on-field action for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024—they’re stepping up their online game too! In a much-needed move, the ICC has rolled out an innovative AI tool designed to protect women cricketers from the toxic side of social media: hate speech, harassment and misogyny.

Creating a Safer Space for Women Cricketers

Let’s be real—this couldn’t have come at a better time. Women athletes, especially cricketers, have been increasingly subjected to online abuse, and it’s not something we can just brush off anymore.

The ICC is taking the first step to fix this problem by teaming up with GoBubble to monitor comments not just on their platforms but also on 60 women cricketers’ social accounts.

“The cutting-edge technology is designed to identify and hide from public view toxic content such as hate speech, harassment, and misogyny, helping to create a safer and more welcoming space for fans to engage with the World Cup,” the ICC said in a statement.

The goal is to give women cricketers the mental space to focus on their game, minus the noise from online trolls.

Players Appreciate The Initiative

Naturally, the players are all for it. South African wicketkeeper-batter Sinalo Jafta didn’t hold back when she talked about how crucial this kind of protection is, especially during a World Cup.

“For me, with social media protection I think it takes a lot of weight off players, especially at World Cup campaigns as that is the worst of it,” Jafta said.

“There is nothing worse than opening up your phone after a loss — or after a victory — and regardless of what side you find yourself there is always some degrading comment about your personality,” she added.

This initiative feels even more important for younger players. Let’s face it—telling a 20-something athlete to just “stay off social media” is almost laughable.

It’s a part of their daily routine, whether we like it or not. So, this tool might just help them breathe easier, knowing they can enjoy their online presence without all that negativity creeping in.

Younis Khan Names Two Players To Replace Babar Azam As Captain

younis-khan-names-players-replace-babar-azam-captain

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has recently suggested two potential candidates to take over the white-ball captaincy after Babar Azam resigned from the position.

The legendary batter supported Babar Azam’s decision to relinquish captaincy. “Stepping away from the captaincy will be good for Babar,” Younis said during his recent visit to Australia’s Adelaide Oval.

Who Should Be The Next Captain?

Younis suggested that either wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan or left-handed opener Fakhar Zaman should take over the leadership role. The former captain disagreed with the notion that the best player in the team should be the captain.

“In our culture, we often make the best player the captain, but that can sometimes be a mistake. Rizwan or Fakhar should be the ones to take over,” he stated.

Rizwan has been calm under pressure and is a proven leader in domestic cricket. That consistency and level-headedness are qualities you want in a skipper.

Then there’s Fakhar Zaman. He may not have a ton of leadership experience, but his aggressive, fearless style of play could be just what the team needs to inject some energy.

What’s Next for Pakistan Cricket?

Younis Khan also pointed out a few issues within Pakistan’s team selection. With a mix of young talent and some questionable selections lately, he voiced concerns about how the team’s being put together.

I hope the Pakistan men’s cricket team performs well in Australia. The current squad includes young players, and there are certainly some issues with team selection that need to be addressed,” he said.

Younis Khan Praises Jason Gillespie

Younis Khan also heaped praise on Jason Gillespie, Pakistan’s red-ball head coach, saying that he has a ton of respect for him.

He praised Gillespie’s hard work in improving the team but also reiterated that better selection decisions could take Pakistan even further.

“I have played cricket with Jason Gillespie; he is working hard to improve the Pakistan team,” Younis said.

“But there needs to be better decision-making when it comes to selection.” So, while there’s love for the coaching efforts, Younis is clearly calling for more thoughtful planning overall.

Fans immediately replied to Armeena’s post and most of them were worried for her safety and many wanted to know if she was okay.

The actress also asked her fans to pray for her and Amelie as they deal with the effects of the accident. Living a life so close to death ensured that she did not only draw our attention to dangers that prevail on the road, but also made me appreciate the essence of being thankful in life.

Armeena’s strong beliefs, along with the wave of positive feedback she garnered on social media, enabled her to face the situation with resilience.

Her fans, on the other hand, posted their support on the post and relief for her safety of her by posting prayers and good wishes. In this case, this bond between a celebrity and their fans demonstrated how fans stood to be in a position to console and encourage their favorite celebrities during hard times through social media platforms.

This analyses the strength of faith and resilience. It is very inspiring to read the true life experience of Armeena and remains standing firmly in her faith that it is really possible to rise up after going through such incident in life.

Armeena reiterated her gratitude for the support she received: “Once again we are grateful for your support, and I hope we will be remembered in your thoughts.” Apart from saying that she was relieved, she wrote a beautiful message that also encouraged her fans to think about how uncertain life is.

Armeena Khan’s performance demonstrates tolerance, patience and belief that comes with resilience to stick to what one suppose to do and be grateful.

On September 28, London was the fourth city to host “The Marvels of Saudi Music.” The Saudi National Orchestra and Choir performed the marvel, along with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This event celebrated Saudi Arabia’s 94th National Day.

It was held under Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al Saud’s patronage, Minister of Culture, and head of the Music Commission. The concert honored Saudi’s heritage and cultural diversity, mixing traditional Saudi music with international performances at the famous Central Hall Westminster, and featured 100 skilled Arab musicians. Here are some highlights from the event.

Tribute to The Late Saudi Poet Badr Bin Abdul Mohsen

The concert opened with a heartfelt tribute to the late poet, Prince Badr. The orchestra performed “Ana Mil Hal Ardh” (I am From This Land.) A song that was originally penned by Prince Badr and sung by the Legendary Muhammad Abdo.

Samri Art and The Wounds Of Betrayal

Next, the National Orchestra and Choir also performed a mesmerizing version of Samri. Samri is a traditional Saudi folk art. The tune of the performance was the beautiful sound of “Esmahili yal Gharam” (The Wound of Betrayal). Muhammad Abdo’s greatest pieces ever. This unique combination of classic folk art with a modern twist was one of the standout moments of the concert, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Twist On Adele’s Rolling In The Deep

As a super bold and innovative move, the orchestra performed one of Hollywood’s most hit songs: Rolling in The Deep. The orchestra concluded the first half of the concert with a unique rendition of the song. The mashup captured the best elements of both Adele’s song and the Saudi classic “Adeet fi Marqab.”

The Concert Finale

As with most concert finales, this one too ended on a remarkable note. The show concluded with Rashed Al Majed’s “Ashginag” (We Loved You). A song released in honor of the 90th Saudi’s National Day on Sept. 23, 2020. The lyrics were fitting to the nature of the show as they too celebrate the diversity and beauty of the Saudi Culture.

The foldable smartphone war escalates with Honor’s latest lead, the Magic V3, up against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6. Both high-end foldables feature advanced functions and stylish looks, but who wears the crown?

Design & Display

Honor’s Magic V3 catches the eye with its paper-thin profile—a mere 4.35mm when extended—that makes it the slimmest foldable around. With a featherweight frame of 226g, it feels more like a classic phone, touching important ergonomic points. Its rival, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, although a polished next step in Samsung’s foldable family, seems heftier when closed at 12.1mm.

In screen aspects, both devices deliver. The Honor Magic V3 has a larger interior display at 7.92 inches versus Samsung’s 7.6-inch type. While Samsung’s screen shines brighter, Honor claims victory by providing more viewing area and higher resolution, boasting 402 pixels per inch (PPI) over Samsung’s 374 PPI.

Performance & Software

Hiding inside, both foldables are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Still, Samsung’s version fine-tuned for its devices gets noticed. For routine use, both handsets do their job seamlessly with matching RAM sizes at 12GB. Yet Honor gives you a superior deal with its cheaper priced 512GB storage option than the one available from Samsung.

Software is where individual likes take center stage. Samsung’s OneUI on Android 14 creates an enjoyable foldable experience, while Honor’s MagicOS shows off similar Android capabilities. Both back up multitasking, pen inputs, and split screens, cementing their positions as efficient work gadgets.

Camera Performance

The Honor Magic V3 edges ahead camera-wise, favoring a periscope telephoto lens giving 3.5x optical zoom compared to Z Fold 6’s 3x zoom distance. Both phones take quality photos under good lighting, although Honor leans towards warmer colors. In dim lighting, Honor’s images hold onto more detail as Samsung prefers softer, brighter pictures.

Power & Recharge

Honor’s battery holds 5,150mAh, beating Samsung’s 4,400mAh by a fair margin. It charges at an accelerated 66W vs Samsung’s slower 25W. The Honor device provides extended usage time during web browsing and video viewing, establishing its dominance in terms of battery longevity.

Among folding smartphones, Honor Magic V3 has the edge, beating Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It trumps with a slimmer build, a bigger battery and cost-competitive position. If a top-notch foldable phone is on your shopping list, Magic V3 surfaces as an outstanding contender against the famed Samsung series.

How To Enhance Your Photography Skills With Smartphone Accessories

Oct 3, 2024

Smartphone photography today makes it simpler to capture high-quality photos. Though phone cameras are outstanding, specific accessories can advance your photos a step further. Here’s a rundown of crucial lens attachments and extras to elevate your mobile photography skills.

Lens Attachments

Choosing a suitable lens attachment can considerably alter your shot’s viewpoint. Here are some favored choices:

Wide-angle lenses give the capacity to cover more of the scene, great for landscapes.
Fisheye lenses produce energetic, rounded photos, distorting the picture for a distinct impact.
Telephoto lenses pull far-off objects closer, ideal for seizing details from a distance.

You can attach these lenses in different manners, from clip-on additions to magnetic rings or cases intended for smooth lens exchange. Certain sophisticated setups let you attach DSLR lenses using adapters.

Top 10 Tools for Mobile Photography | Photography — Source: Virtual Camera

Stabilizing Tools

Stabilizing Tools As simple as it is effective, a tripod is a handy tool in enhancing your photos. Whether shooting in dim light or using slow shutter speed, a tripod steadies your camera thus eliminating blurring propelled by unstable hands. Mini tripods with bendable legs are excellent for capturing distinct angles by looping around items.

Selfie Tools Though selfie sticks may appear as a gimmick, they come in quite handy for group photos or shots from unconventional angles. Some versions feature Bluetooth triggers, allowing you to click pictures without interacting with your phone.

Portable Lighting

Portable Lighting Photography under low-light can be challenging but is made easier with an external flash device. These compact units offer additional light, aiding you in capturing clearer images under dim light conditions. Many external flashes possess adjustable brightness and color settings, offering more control over your shots’ lighting.

A remote shutter release is an excellent tool for group photos or shots where you want to avoid physical contact with your phone, preventing shake. Some remotes also offer burst mode and timer functions, adding more versatility to your photography.

Filters

Filters can transform the mood of your photos. Polarizing filters reduce glare and enhance colors, while neutral density filters allow longer exposure times for artistic effects. Gradient filters darken specific parts of an image, creating dynamic shots.

Protective Cases

A sturdy protective case will keep your phone safe, but some cases go beyond protection. Some come equipped with grips or built-in filters, making them useful tools for mobile photographers.

With the right accessories, your smartphone can capture professional-level photos that rival traditional cameras. Happy snapping!

Known for her versatility in the entertainment industry, Saud has not only appeared in numerous dramas but has also showcased her musical talents over the years.

In her latest revelation, she expressed disappointment over not being credited for writing the melodious OST of the drama, shedding light on an issue that resonates with many artists.

A Personal Revelation

Javeria Saud spoke openly and revealed that she had written the beautiful Ishq Murshid’s OST but did not get credit for it. This of course, was discouraging for many, however, she stated that it was not a complete loss for her.

Javeria agreed with her emphasizing that she has solved much bigger issues in her practice, which points out the fact that in each situation she has a robust mindset.

Such disasters, therefore, reveal her professional commitment and passion on the job through her ability to keep smiling and keep up with her work.

The Success of Ishq Murshid

Ishq Murshid has become a favourite of viewers, and in no time, it touched the list of trending dramas in Pakistan. The main leads were Bilal Abbas & Durrefishan Saleem, the story highlights the life of a self-motivated, educated middle-class girl who desperately seeks a partner who understands her worth. She has a huge dislike for vanity and flaunting of material wealth, and she supports hard work and honesty.

On the other hand, Bilal Abbas’s character is seen as a rich man doing his job in the government sector for the sake of his love. The crusade portrays the effort he used to take in order to gain his wealth, the process that in the end transforms the worldview of the protagonist concerning other rich people.

Throughout the events of the show, their romance grows, and they end up together, the moral of the story being that the virtues matter most, not the riches.

Javeria Saud speaking about her work on Ishq Murshid’s OST serves to illustrate the issues artists have about being credited for work done. As far as the issue is concerned, some people may find it to be a big deal, but looking at Saud, she remains strong and dedicated to her job.

First of all, it is worth emphasizing that drama remains popular for a reason, as it tells a touching love story, which showcases memorable music, and it proves that the very idea of giving credits does not matter anymore, the main matter is changing the audience.

usman-qadir-bids-farewell-to-pakistan-cricket

Usman Qadir, the son of the legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir, has announced his retirement — from Pakistan cricket. It’s interesting that for the first time, a player did not announce retirement from international cricket, leaving the door open for international cricket but with some other team.

A Heartfelt Goodbye

Usman shared the news on his official X (formerly Twitter) account and expressed immense pride in wearing the green jersey. “It has been an immense honor to represent my country, and I’m thankful for the support of my coaches and teammates who have been with me every step of the way,” he stated.

“From unforgettable victories to the challenges we faced together, each moment has shaped my career and enriched my life. I’m deeply appreciative of the passionate fans who have always stood by me; your unwavering support has meant the world.”

He emphasized that he will continue carrying his father’s cricketing legacy forward. “As I step into this new chapter, I will be continuing my dad’s legacy, embracing both my love for cricket and the lessons he instilled in me.”

A Short Career

Usman Qadir has represented Pakistan in 26 international matches since his debut in 2020 during a T20I match against Zimbabwe. He has taken a total of 32 wickets during his brief international career.

He was labelled a product of nepotism early on in his career. Imagine having to prove yourself in the shadow of a giant like Abdul Qadir! However, he proved the critics wrong by grinding hard in domestic cricket to prove his worth.

However, he still got sporadic chances in the Pakistan team. Not only that, he was also warming benches for different franchises for past few seasons in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

All of these factors led to his decision, however, he’s not completely stepping away from cricket, and the rumor mill is buzzing with possibilities.

Could we see him playing for another country? Australia or the USA have been mentioned as potential options. Hope he reaches his full potential in the next phase of his career.

Mohammad Hafeez Claims Pakistan Team Has Lost ‘Winning Formula’

It’s been a rough ride for Pakistan in Test cricket on home soil, and former captain Mohammad Hafeez has some thoughts on the reason behind this decline.

Pakistan, once known for dominating in their own backyard, seems to have lost its way. The last time Pakistan won a Test match at home was way back in February 2021.

Since then, it’s been one disappointment after another, with the most recent being a 2-0 series loss to Bangladesh. So, what exactly has happened?

What’s Gone Wrong?

In a recent interview, Mohammad Hafeez stated that Pakistan’s struggles at home can be boiled down due to them losing their “winning formula.” This formula, as Hafeez put it, was something Pakistan mastered when they played their home matches in the UAE.

“Unfortunately, Pakistan is missing the formula to win at home in Pakistan. We had acquired the winning formula at Pakistan’s adopted home which was UAE,” said Hafeez.

“We became the top-ranked Test team and even won the Test mace because we knew how to win in the UAE,” Hafeez pointed out. “But ever since cricket returned to Pakistan, that formula seems to have disappeared.”

It’s hard to argue with him. The UAE was like a fortress for Pakistan. Whether it was the slow, turning pitches or the ability to capitalize on their strengths, Pakistan knew how to get the job done. However, we should not forget the quality of spin bowlers Pakistan team used to have back then.

Giving Credit to Bangladesh

Mohammad Hafeez also appreciated the Bangladesh cricket team for playing positive cricket and keeping Pakistan team under pressure. “At the international level, you can’t consider any team weak,” he said.

He was impressed with their mindset, body language, and smart decisions, which earned them a well-deserved win in Pakistan.

“Bangladesh deserved to win in Pakistan because of their mindset, body language, the way they played positive cricket and their management made good decisions,” he added.

Gary Kirsten’s Report Led To Babar Azam’s Resignation?

Babar Azam shocked the world on Tuesday night with his resignation from Pakistan’s white-ball captaincy, however, there is more to the story behind his decision.

While Babar said that he wants to focus more on his batting, former Pakistan pacer Yasir Arafat thinks that white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten played a key role in Babar’s resignation.

The T20 World Cup Disaster

Let’s take a step back to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, where Pakistan’s performance left fans pulling their hair out. Pakistan cricket team, for the first time, crashed out of the group stage.

The tournament kicked off with a disastrous loss to the USA, followed by an agonizing defeat to India. Those back-to-back losses were enough to derail Pakistan’s entire campaign and send them packing early.

Fans and media have been calling for Babar’s resignation since the end of Pakistan’s campaign. Fast forward a few months, and Babar fulfilled their wishes by stepping as captain. The timing seemed odd, but if Yasir Arafat’s claims are anything to go by, it all starts to make sense.

Gary Kirsten’s Report

According to Yasir Arafat, the seeds of Babar’s resignation were planted when Gary Kirsten penned a detailed report after Pakistan’s World Cup disaster. This report, which was supposed to be confidential but somehow made its way to the media, highlighted several key issues within the team.

Kirsten reportedly wasn’t convinced that Babar Azam was the right man to lead Pakistan — especially in the T20 format. He analyzed Babar’s captaincy throughout Pakistan’s tour of England and the World Cup, and his conclusions were clear: Babar might not be the ideal fit for the job.

While Kirsten still saw Babar as a good fit for ODI captaincy, he believed that Pakistan needed new leadership in T20s. However, Babar decided to take a different route as he chose to step down from both roles entirely.

Word has it that Babar had a conversation with a senior PCB official before making the announcement, signalling that he wanted to focus on his batting rather than juggling captaincy and criticism.

With Babar stepping down, the PCB has a big call to make. Mohammad Rizwan is widely tipped to be the next ODI captain, while the young and fiery Mohammad Haris is reportedly in line for the T20I leadership.

⁠Common Weight Loss Myths That Need To Be Debunked

When it comes to losing weight, plenty of advice exists. However, typically, what you will hear will be common weight loss myths that have been repeated so many times, that everyone believes they are true. Somehow, trying them and seeing no results isn’t evidence enough that they are myths. Let’s debunk some of these weight-loss tips together!

Losing Weight Is Not A Linear Journey

First, you must understand that losing weight isn’t always a straight path. Weight loss doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some days you’ll lose weight, and other days you might gain a little. This is normal. Weight can fluctuate due to water retention or food in your system, especially for women during their menstrual cycle. The key is consistency.

Supplements Are Not Magical

Supplements won’t magically make you lose weight, even though otherwise is believed. Many weight loss supplements make big claims, but they rarely work as advertised. The reason they might seem to help is the placebo effect, as in people become more mindful of what they eat. While a few supplements may have a small impact, they’re not a solution on their own.

Obesity Is More Complicated Than You May Think

Obesity isn’t just about willpower. It’s not fair to say obesity is only about willpower. Many factors contribute to weight gain, including genetics and medical conditions like hypothyroidism and PCOS. Hormones like leptin, which controls hunger, may also be out of balance, making weight loss harder for some people. Everyone has their own journey, it’s important to be mindful of that!

Eating Less, Moving More Is Not Enough

Eating less and moving more isn’t enough. While it’s true that you need to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight, this advice often falls short. People who just eat less and move more usually regain the weight. Losing weight requires long-term changes in habits, not just temporary fixes. Moreover, weight loss via simple cardio comes back. The most important thing you need to do is train your muscles.

Carbs Are Not Evil

Carbs aren’t the enemy. Low-carb diets can help with weight loss, but carbs alone don’t make you gain weight. The real issue is eating too many refined carbs like sugar and processed grains, not whole foods that contain carbs. So, let’s not make them the enemy here. You need carbs in your lunch for energy! Avoiding them will only make you lethargic.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. When you’re on a weight loss journey, the most important thing you need to do is your research. Know right from wrong and understand what works for you best. Be mindful that your journey will be different from those around you, it may take longer or it may require more effort, but you will get there surely.

Anoushey Ashraf Criticizes Pakistan’s Culture Of Hate

Anoushey Ashraf, a prominent Pakistani television host and actress, has become a powerful voice in addressing societal issues, particularly those affecting women. Known for her candid opinions and strong personality, she uses her platform to speak out against the injustices faced by many in Pakistan.

Recently, she drew attention to the culture of hate prevalent in society, particularly in the context of recent events at the HUM Awards held in London.

A post shared by VeryFilmi (@veryfilmi)

The HUM Awards and Controversies Related to Hiba Bukhari

The HUM Awards that took place in London offered a golden chance to Pakistani celebrities to perform on a global platform. But just before the event, there was a controversy when Nadia Khan uncovered that actress Hiba Bukhari is pregnant. This disclosure received a lot of criticism from people because it was indicated that it should not come through the media but from the couple directly.

Before attending the awards, Hiba Bukhari announced her pregnancy with her husband, Arez Ahmed through a personal vlog. On the red carpet she was glowing, happy and fully confident because of her pregnancy. However, this time of victory was followed by criticism from netizens.

Every Human Is Different

Nonetheless, actress Mira Sethi also stood up for Hiba and commented on her thoughts about the issue in social networks. She said, “What’s ‘baghairat’ about being pregnant—and beautiful!—and arriving at workplace? Her, her body, her beauty, her green dress and her choice. Here’s to Hiba Bukhari and all the other women out there just as strong, resilient and beautiful in face of such insults”. Sethi explained that the negative comments were in an attempt to ensure that the women were driven back into the dungeon of invisibility, and she urged those who had been threatened to come forward.

The Hate Against ‘Our’ Culture

Anoushey Ashraf’s critique: However, there were still many supporters of the hate speech in Pakistan, as pointed out by Anoushey Ashraf. She said ‘Everyone in Pakistan loves to hate and has the time to do it because their lives are also almost pathetic.’ If you were happy with your existence, you wouldn’t be so quick to take offense at anyone else’s way of life.” Anoushey noted.

She went on to bash the bigoted lovers who hide behind religion to express their hatred by saying “They spit vile in everything they see and say, and it’s religion at it again!” It’s a coping mechanism. One can imagine what kind of knowledge of life and religion means the ability to submit such a letter. It takes all the fun out of the ideology if those two just demonstrate their displeasure all the time. So all we can do is pity them.”

However, Hiba Bukhari has not let the negative feedback about being an expectant mother bring her down and press on with it. Just for the record, I really appreciated how strong Hiba Bukhari appeared as a mom-to-be, she was radiant doing her thing and just living her life!! Kudos!”

1. Cadbury’s AI Campaign Featuring Shahrukh Khan

With a creative twist, Cadbury released an AI campaign featuring the stellar Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan. The campaigns’ concept was to allow each individual to have a personalized experience and they used AI effectively to execute this. Moreover, Cadbury selflessly focused this ad on local retailers to promote their business via their own massive marketing budget.

2. Coca-Cola Uses Stable Diffusion Technology

AI has allowed us to convert text into images. Using this very technology Coca Cola created a beautiful ad full of vivid visuals that were both captivating and pleasant to see as well. Stable diffusion is a deep learning model that transforms text into images with artificial intelligence. The advertisement combines video, stable diffusion, and 3D technology to create beautiful scenes.

This ad captures the energetic essence of Coca-Cola Cola showing various characters in paintings fighting to have a sip.

3. BMW Gran Coupé Gets an AI-Designed Makeover

BMW is yet another brand that is able to execute its AI campaign flawlessly. They used AI at another level in this campaign. The company used artificial intelligence to design the promotional materials for their sleek 8 Series Gran Coupé. The result: visually stunning ads that seamlessly blend high-tech innovation with aesthetics.

5. WWF’s AI Campaigns #WORLDWITHOUTNATURE

WWF (World Wide Fund) ended up using AI to generate impactful, silencing images of what the world would look like without nature. These ima

ges were promotions for their annual environmental awareness campaign.

These marketing campaigns heavily highlight the power of AI in terms of raising social awareness and creating striking visual imagery. As technology evolves, it’s vital for these brands to grow with it and use it effectively.

Who Will Lead Pakistan After Babar Azam? Potential Options Revealed

babar-azam-breaks-silence-on-rumors-of-dispute

Babar Azam resigned from his position as the white-ball captain of Pakistan, however, now there is only one question on everyone’s mind — Who will become the new captain?

Well, to be honest, there are not many options in Pakistan, who can seamlessly transition into the role. However, insider reports suggest that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering the idea of appointing different captains for ODI and T20I teams.

The Shift in Leadership

With Babar Azam out of the picture, the PCB is now looking for fresh leadership to guide the national team in the shorter formats.

Mohammad Rizwan was long considered as Pakistan’s future captain across three formats. However, the twist in the tale is that Rizwan is the front-runner for the ODI captaincy only. Rizwan’s calm demeanour and rapport within the team make him a favorite for the captaincy in ODI cricket.

However, the situation in T20I cricket is different as Rizwan is often criticized for his slow approach. Reports suggest that the PCB is considering young wicket-keeper Mohammad Haris for the role of T20I captain. It is evident that PCB has faith in him, considering the fact that he has been a regular captain of Pakistan Shaheens for the past year.

Gary Kirsten’s Vision

Word on the street is that Gary Kirsten, Pakistan’s head coach for white-ball cricket, suggested that Babar Azam should be relieved of his T20I captaincy duties after the T20 World Cup to let him focus fully on ODIs.

However, Babar wasn’t thrilled about the idea and resigned from the captaincy of both formats, opening the door for a new leader. And that’s where Mohammad Haris comes in.

Kirsten is said to be a huge fan of Haris, seeing him as the future of Pakistan’s T20 team. Haris has shown real potential in the shorter format. His aggressive and fearless approach fits right into the direction Kirsten wants to take the team.

Haris is seen as someone who can inject fresh energy and lead Pakistan with a new mindset as they build toward the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Signs of Change

The writing was on the wall when Babar wasn’t named captain for any team in the Champions One-Day Cup. Instead, he played under the leadership of Mohammad Haris in the Stallions team.

Pakistan is set to tour Australia in November for three ODIs and three T20s. The new captain will be announced before the tour, most probably around the end of October. With Rizwan’s experience and Haris’ potential, Pakistan seems to be ready for a new chapter.
