Khalil ur Rehman can not manage to stay out of the spotlight even if he tries. The writer and ultimate controversy starter has now slammed Mahira Khan and the attack was unprovoked and unnecessary. What’s going on with the two and can this escalate? Let’s find out:

What Did Khalil Ur Rehman Do?

The writer of Mere Paas Tum Ho randomly decided to take a screenshot of Mahira Khan’s own post and put it up on Twitter. Mahira Khan had put up a picture of herself whilst she was acting in a drama written by Khalil Ur Rehman. She was playing the role of ‘shano’ in “Sadqay Tumhare”. Have a look at the picture here:

A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan)

The writer took the picture and tweeted about how he will always curse himself for casting her in this “sacred role”. This is also not the first time he has expressed these sentiments. Khalil Ur Rehman is vehemently against Mahira Khan now and hates the fact that she acted in a drama based on his own life. Have a look at his tweet:

I ll always curse on me for the sin I committed by casting her in a very sacred role in my Sadqay Tumhare pic.twitter.com/vNbNYKWYAb

— Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar (@KrqOfficial) April 27, 2022

Why The Rivalry?

Mahira Khan has not yet responded to this hateful tweet and we have a feeling she also will not. However, what could explain the rivalry is Mahira Khan and also his male-lead actor, Adnan Malik’s opposition to the writer. Back when Khalil Ur Rehman said really controversial things, the two spoke against him on their public profiles. Have a look at their past tweets:

I am shocked at what I have just heard and seen!! Sick to the core. This same man who abused a woman on tv is revered and given project after project because of what? We are as much to blame if not more for perpetuating this thinking! #khalilurrehmanqamar

— Mahira Khan (@TheMahiraKhan) March 4, 2020

I think this sums up my views in general regarding KUQ & me playing him in Sadqay Tumhare. 🤢 https://t.co/zEQckWOgLu

— adnanmalik (@adnanmalik) March 4, 2020

These could explain why Khalil Ur Rehman simply regrets the fact that he cast these two people as his leads in Sadqay Tumhare.

What Are People Saying?

People are actually bashing Khalil Ur Rehman for this tweet. One has to say, people should keep their personal opinions and viewpoints away from their professional ones. To throw dirt on an actress whom you share the industry with, who has also worked for you at a point, is simply in bad faith and disrespectful.

But then again, no one expects Khalil Ur Rehman to be respectful. Have a look at what people said here:

She has done amazing job just because she has disagreed with you doesn’t mean u can regret once what you praised shame on you

— Naylasays (@NaylaAmir) April 27, 2022

She is a wonderful actor. I think sir she justified with that character..

— Mian kashif (@Mian05106) April 27, 2022

He doesn’t even have a courtesy to praise her performance, so mean of you to criticize the actress of your own written drama. You are undoubtedly a pathetic man with zero respect for others .
Ps: and let me clear I’m not a feminist! Its just i don’t like this man.

— Yamna🥷🏻⚠️ (@yamnasiddiqui2) April 28, 2022

We have a curse that you belong to us… If you a writer and renowned personality doesn’t mean you can say anything to anyone such a bullshit for you.

— Rukhsar M. Hassan (@me_rukh) April 27, 2022

You should rather curse yourself for being a jerk. You just want some limelight by the same female actress @TheMahiraKhan that gave you some fame. Such a cheap stunt after 7 years. Actually she didn’t deserve a stupid role like that.

Kellogg’s Brings The Gut Science To VR— Here’s How

We all know about Kellogg’s at this point. The multinational brand has become a household name across many different countries. While that may have its advantages, it also comes with many burdens such as informing your customers of very important things. Kellogg’s felt that it had to inform its people about the importance of fiber for gut health. What better way to do it than through a VR experience?

What’s The Latest?

Kellogg’s partnered with a creative agency, NAKATOMI, to make a VR experience for a gut. The experience is basically set inside the human gut which Kellogg’s calls the ‘Gut Bacteria Reef’. It teaches you that your gut is like a coral reef. It is home to trillions of organisms that need very special nutrients to thrive.

In this VR experience, you get to follow the journey of Kellogg’s cereal through the human gut as the cereal’s fiber nourishes the good bacteria. The fiber allows them to grow and prevail over the bad bacteria.

Backed By Research

Kellogg’s does nothing without the backing of research. This campaign of theirs reflects findings from the CSIRO Institute of Research. The research shows that despite 50% of Australians experiencing gut health problems every year, two-thirds of Aussies are still not meeting the daily recommended intake of fiber.

The campaign also included a partnership with SEA Life Sydney Aquarium over the school holidays. The idea is to invite visitors to try the VR experience and get up close tp the organisms and diverse flora that live within our bodies. This is the best way to teach children about the importance of fiber in maintaining this ecosystem.

The Idea Behind The Campaign

Kellogg’s Senior Marketing Manager, Dan Bitti, said: “Our cereals contain key sources of fiber that can help Australians maintain a healthy gut.” They sincerely thank TBWA\ Eleven and NAKATOMI to allow them to explain the science of the gut in a playful and innovative manner.

Similarly, TBWA\ Eleven executive creative director, Russ Tucker, said that they have been working on this project for years now. They have been working on it since lockdown and were more than glad to see it come to life.

5 Underrated Netflix Series You're Missing Out On! — Image Source: Brandsynario

Netflix series are the only commitments we’d like to make this summer. The good ones have the power to make you fall in love with them completely. Be it hating the characters with a vengeance or loving them unrealistically— been there, done that. If you’ve been feeling that nagging empty feeling after recently finishing a series or are in search for one to indulge in, keep reading!

1. Schitt’s Creek

A shot from the Netflix series Schitt's Creek — Image Source: Insider

Schitt’s Creek is a sitcom that was released in 2015 and the world has been sleeping on it. The general plotline is that a millionaire family of 4 suddenly go bankrupt. The only asset they are allowed to retain is an ugly town called “Schitt’s Creek”. Moreover, the town was bought by the father, Johnny, as a joke for the son, David.

Each episode has split-your-sides laugh out loud moments and all the seasons are easy to follow and endearing. It recently ended with season 6 and fans said goodbye with heavy hearts. The character development of all the characters and the manner in which it is genuinely progressive in nature is incredible. Hence, it’s a must-watch if you’re looking for something light.

2. Mindhunter

A shot from Netflix series Mindhunter — Image Source: Forbes

Secondly, this Netflix series is a crime show that is equally horrifying and interesting. David Fincher, Oscar-nominated director helped with its production and it was released in 2019 with 2 seasons. In order to understand true crime, detectives need to get inside the mind of the criminal. That is exactly with Bill Tench and Holden Ford initiate in their investigations. As a result, they pioneered the modern serial killer profiling process.

The psychological thriller explores crimes of notorious serial killers like Charles Manson and Edmund Kemper. Moreover, the said killers are made out to be as realistic looking as possible and it’s not for the faint-hearted.

3. Atypical

A shot from Atypical — Image Source: Los Angeles Times

A heartfelt comedy that’s being overlooked. Atypical explores the social construct of “normal” through the main character, Sam who is on the autism spectrum. Sam is a teenager and wants to be more than his disorder, he seeks independence and.. romance! The series explores a family coming to terms with Autism, a teenager transcending his limitations and the ills of the society in a light manner. The message it gives is one to acquaint ourselves with.

4. The Haunting of Hill House

A shot from the series 'Haunting of The Hill House' — Image Source: Business Insider

Hill House is a horror Netflix series with just 1 season available yet. A fractured family fights with their haunted memories of their old home and constantly struggle to detach themselves from it. It has some intense action-packed, thrilling horror scenes that you need to look out for.

If you’re into a horror show that also has a great storyline running simultaneously, look no further!

5. When They See Us

Lastly, When They See Us is based on a true story about the Central Park 5. This is a great show to watch not just on its own but also because of how relevant it is to the social climate today. Five teens find themselves in the most horrifying of nightmares when they’re falsely accused of a rape in Central Park. It shows the unjust legal system and the oppression of the black community.

It makes you uncomfortable, opens your eyes and makes you empathise. Additionally, the ending truly feels like a punch in the gut and it’ll be an unforgettable experience.

Which one will you be watching? Let us know in the comments below!

7 Useful Tips For Buying The Right SUV For You & Your Family

SUV buying tips — Image Source: globalvillagespace.com

Whenever we go out to buy a vehicle, we must always keep certain factors in mind. Buying a car can be an entire ritual and one should be careful. After all, you are making a huge investment and it should pay off over the long term. If that is not happening, maybe there is a loophole in your selection criteria. So, what about when buying an SUV?

These are huge vehicles with state-of-the-art technology embedded within them. They not only give the best drive in terms of comfort but in safety as well. SUVs are considered the king of the road and buying them must be a careful process. So, here we have a couple of tips that you must keep in mind for buying the right SUV.

1. The Seating

It comes as an obvious statement that seats are a necessity. To be specific, good and comfortable ones are the way to go. You don’t want to spend all that cash and then have a bad back while driving long hours. You want to have the best experience when it comes to seating. Comfortable ones that get you through tough road trips make for good SUV selection criteria.

2. Cargo Storage

If you are buying an SUV, maybe you have a huge storage application. However, what would be the point of an SUV if it does not suit your storage needs. Always make sure there is enough space to accommodate your needs. Travelling requires a lot of space and this should be a good criterion for buying an SUV.

3. 2WD vs. 4WD vs. AWD

The application of your commute can determine which configuration you want to go for. If you have a lot of travelling on highways and roads, then maybe 2WD is a good option for you. However, if you are buying an SUV for off-roading, then 4WD is your best option. You want to make sure all four wheels are running on power if you ever get stuck in sand or between rocks. Safety should always be considered.

4. Towing:

When driving such a vehicle, there is a lot of engine power that comes with it. Apart from the storage space of the vehicle, one should always check the towing range. It counts a lot as to how much weight your vehicle can pull. If the towing winch cannot pull your own vehicle out, what good is all that engine power? Additionally, you never know when someone else may need help with towing. Thus, it is recommended to check towing capability.

5. Mileage

Now, this is one of the most important parts of buying an SUV. You don’t want to buy one which gives you a fuel average of 5 kilometres to the litre. A person should always make sure that the vehicle gives a decent fuel average. Anything above 10 km/L is considered good but if it’s beyond 12, that is even better.

6. Performance and Handling:

There have been many SUVs in history with bad handling. While their centre of gravity is more stable, there are some that don’t hold well. You don’t want to topple or slide when driving at a sharp turn. Make sure you read up on the performance metrics of the vehicle. If possible, take a trained friend along for inspection, or a mechanic.

7. Personal Preference:

While this may not be a visual or perceptive metric, it is an important one. The main question that arises is: do you want to buy an SUV. It is a hefty investment and it requires maintenance. One has to be willing to take care of it when they do buy it.

shazia manzoor overacting — Image Source: Dawn

Shazia Manzoor is an icon in the Pakistani entertainment industry and Jannat Mirza is a rising star. The two women have made their presence known albeit in different areas altogether. However, recently, the two stars collided in the most humorous way possible. There was some acting and then there was over-acting— netizens just won’t have it. Here’s what went down:

Shazia Manzoor Avoids A Fall

They clearly look like they are at an official and glamorous ceremony. Shazia Manzoor is about to walk toward Jannat Mirza when her foot trips in the air and she is about to have a bad fall. Luckily Jannat Mirza is there and she supports Shazia Manzoor, preventing her from falling. They then hug and you can clearly see the surprised expression on Shazia Manzoor’s face even after. If you notice closely enough, she did not trip on anything in particular.

Have a look at the video here:

A post shared by All Pakistan Drama Page (@allpakdramapageofficial)

What Are People Saying?

Truth be told, people are just not impressed or interested or even engaging with this video. It is simply making round because it is very visible that Shazia Manzoor and Jannat Mirza are overacting. Netizens believe that Manzoor was not about to fall, this was simply a show. They’re also confused about why this pop culture icon is mixing with these rising stars and doing such strange hyper things?

Have a look at their comments to see what they all had to say:

Here’s more:

Remind You Of Something?

A while ago, Shazia Manzoor came into the headlines because she was walking on the ramp with Alizeh Shah. The girl was simply minding her business and walking about with such heavy clothes when Shazia Manzoor started dragging her and pulling her like a doll. That which was expected did indeed happen. Alizeh Shah did finally fall as a result on-ramp the, in front of everybody.

Even in this case, Shazia Manzoor was criticized for being like this as a person and also dealing with Alizeh Shah like that. People are also saying this is payback for what she did to Alizeh Shah. Is that true or was this simply acting in an attempt to be humorous?

Apple’s Hosting Another ‘Shot On iPhone’ War & It’s On Chicken Rice!

Apr 27, 2022

apple shot on iphone — Image Source: Mac Cult

Apple has been promoting its phones and their undoubtedly impeccable camera quality in ways more than one. It’s hooked itself onto a ‘shot on iPhone’ strategy as of late and it’s making us hungry this time around. Here’s what’s being shot on iPhone!

What’s Going On?

Apple wanted to promote the camera capabilities of its iPhone 13 Pro. What better way to involve food in it somehow? So, Apple decided to create a spot called ’Poached’ for the ‘shot on iPhone series’. Poached would essentially cover Singapore’s national food, chicken rice! The idea is to keep two hawkers at the center as they struggle to find the perfect recipe and compete with each other along the way.

People have to take pictures of chicken and rice and add them to poach to participate in the challenge.

What Is It Showcasing?

This campaign may be focused on iPhone 13’s camera but it is showing a lot more. The campaign intends to showcase the war between the famous chicken rice stall Tian Tian and the stall just two doors down, Ah Tai Chicken. Both of these are over 20 years old.

A documentary was filmed by David Gelb, director of Jiro Dreams of Sushi and creator of Chef’s Table too on this. He aimed to highlight Singapore’s hawker culture and the chefs behind the food. Gelb added that there is little to no space in a hawker kitchen. So when we want to tell their story, we have to do it in a very natural and authentic way.

The Role iPhone 13 Plays

Gelb further added that when he started filming, he wished he could have a device like this. Filmmakers need supportive and excellent tools to be able tot tell their stories. The fact that with iPhone, entire generations have access to a phone with such impeccable recording qualities is insane.

On Apple’s part, this is also an incredible initiative to encourage people to use their iPhones to develop photography or filmmaking skills. You never know what touches a nerve where for people and how that may take them to a different point in their lives. Kudos to Apple!

Customizing a ride down to its last detail is the dream of soo many car owners!

From the paint job to the custom vinyl stickers to the rim designs, everything can be the choice of the driver.

However, some drivers do not go ahead and make it happen as modifying and customizing cars can be pretty hefty on the pockets.

For such drivers, we have not 1 or 2 but 7 inexpensive ways you can make your car you-centric without having to spend too much!

1. Seat Covers & Mats

Seat covers and matching mats can completely change the look of your car’s interior. They are not expensive to purchase and can be found very easily in different colors and designs as per your liking.

2. Personal Infotainment System

Sometimes, its the music that gets us pumped, and the love of music is more or less equivalent to the love of driving! You may not be able to get 10 or 15 speakers fitted into your trunk like FNF movies, but you can get a very decent setup for your car in an affordable range.

3. Fancy Emblem

Just touch-up at times can glam your ride in unbelievable ways. If you are one who loves to show the world which car you own, you can customize your ride with fancy emblems!

4. Exhaust

6. Headlight Film

Just like how the human eyes and the first feature we notice, car headlights are one of the noticeable primary functions of a car that enthusiast notice. You do not have to replace your lights with fancy bulbs and go overboard; simple headlight film does the trick.

7. Mini Car Refridgerator

Sometimes, all you need is good songs, an excellent companion, and a chilled drink to make the most of your time while traveling. Customizations do not have to be dominant and noticeable; they can be minor and enough for you.

Jazz Digit 4G Internet-Enabled Handset To Boost Internet Access For Low-Income Women

Apr 26, 2022

Islamabad – 26 April 2022: To expand the benefits of mobile broadband, especially among low-income segments in Pakistan, Jazz Digit 4G has been recognized as a successful rollout globally by the organization representing mobile network operators, GSMA.

According to the GSMA’s ‘Making internet-enabled phones more affordable in low and middle-income countries’ 2022 Report, affordability is a key barrier for 3.4 billion people living in areas with mobile broadband coverage but not using mobile internet. The affordability of handsets remains a key barrier to mobile ownership and mobile internet adoption, particularly for women and rural populations. In Pakistan, 42 percent of cellular subscribers don’t use mobile broadband.

Addressing the affordability barrier to mobile phone ownership in Pakistan, Jazz was the first local mobile operator to offer 4G smart feature phones at very affordable prices starting from PKR 4,500. Upon its purchase, users are provided free access to social media sites and free Jazz to Jazz calls during the first three months. Recently a new Digit 4G range, the touchscreen ‘Energy’ series, was launched offering more RAM, memory and better battery life.

Aamir Ibrahim, CEO, Jazz said, “We have always remained focused on our commitment to ensuring digital services are available to everyone. However, one of the key barriers to achieving this ambition is affordability of internet-enabled handsets particularly amongst the women of Pakistan. The successful rollout of the Jazz Digit 4G smart feature phones highlights the potential of launching an industry-wide instalment-based ‘smartphone for all’ program with an effective regulatory cover to facilitate the purchase of smartphones among low-income groups.”

Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: “During the Covid-19 pandemic, progress in reducing the substantial mobile internet gap has stalled across low- and middle-income countries, and in some countries the gap has even increased. Against this landscape it is wonderful to see one of our Connected Women Commitment Partners, Jazz, working intentionally to create products like Jazz Digit 4G, which helps to increase access to affordable smartphones and mobile internet, a key challenge for many women. Since 2016, the Connected Women Commitment Partners have reached an additional 55 million women with mobile internet and mobile money services. We remain committed to continuing this work, supporting partners like Jazz to reach even more women and close the gender digital divide.

At Jazz, one of the key priority areas is improving access to smartphones and the internet as these are fundamental requirements to digitally and financially empower millions, enabling them to access education, health and other life-enhancing services. Jazz also has a strong focus on bridging the digital gender gap. As part of the GSMA’s Connected Women Commitment Initiative, Jazz has committed to increasing the proportion of women in its mobile internet customer base by 8 percent by the end of 2023 with a dedicated focus on female smartphone ownership. JazzCash has already met its GSMA Connected Women target two years ahead of time with 22% women subscribed to JazzCash wallets.
