The bubbly actress Iqra Aziz who has recently become a household name for her role in ‘Suno Chanda’ was awarded ‘Most Stylist TV Actress’ at Hum Style Awards 2018.

There is no doubt that the starlet has left everyone awestruck with her striking looks and charming personality.

It is remarkable that she has made her space in the industry in such a short time with her unbeatable acting skills and talent.

A few months back, the actress revealed that she has always been bullied by the public eye because of her height. But that did not stop her from achieving her goals.

The actress took to her Instagram account and opened up about the bullies she faced in the industry for the first time.

View this post on Instagram

I remember being a kid and starting off on an ad-shoot for the first time back in 2014. From that to what I have achieved today at the age of 20 is a lot of hard work not just of mine but the entire team who takes up the charge of making me appear like a goddess on-screen and on red carpet. I want to thank my team and all the fans. But most importantly I want to emphasise on being yourself, that is what is style for me. Being in public eye, the first comment anybody has on me is ‘kitni chothi si hai’ which used to hurt me but imagine if Meryl Streep could be told that she isn’t ‘beautiful’ enough for hollywood then who are we all to get affected. Stay headstrong, humble and ambitious. Love you all! ❤

She then highlighted that people used to call her ‘chothi si’.

But it is so great to see that she did not pay any attention to the trolls and did her best to make her dreams come true. 

Stay headstrong, humble and ambitious. Love you all!

What a sweet and positive message she has given to all of us! It’s a bit strange to think that such a talented individual has been receiving nasty comments for her height. But at least she’s making this a positive learning opportunity for her fans.

More power to you girl!

Remembering the legendary playwright, Google pays tribute to Fatima Surayya Bajia on account of her 88th birth anniversary with an official Doodle!

For the next 24 hours, Google will commemorate the legacy of Fatima Surayya Bajia with this super creative illustration of hers, writing in a notebook with some books in the background, and we couldn’t be any prouder!

Google Fatima Surraya Bajia

Born on 1st September 1930 in Hyderabad, India, Bajia migrated to Pakistan with her family after the creation of Pakistan. She never went to an institution but was extensively taught at home. Even without a degree, her intellect was one of a kind and her services towards Urdu Literature, theater and dramas are simply inimitable!

FATIMA SURAYYA BAJIA “In this time of unrest and ugliness, of distrust and mayhem, I want to point out the good in society.” The #writer’s role in our society is more than #entertainment, and Fatima Bajia served her purpose and marked her role as one of the significant #legend writer in the #Pakistani Society especially among women. She is the famous personality of the entertainment industry. She was an elder sister of Anwar Maqsood. You might have watched the famous dramas whose scripts were written by her like Shama, Aroosa, Ana, Tasveer, Afshan, which portrayed stories of family problems. She was a true inspiration and an ideal for many #women. She was running the Art Council of #Pakistan as well as the founder of #Khawateen Kay Milaad. Without any formal degree, she had an extensive knowledge of #Urdu #literature, #English, #Arabic and #Persian. #fatimasurayyabajia #pakistan #pakistanarmy #Punjab #anwarmaqsood

A post shared by Legends Of Pakistan (@legendsofpakistan) on

Fatima Surayya Bajia is an epitome of empowered women and a role model for many!

After the demise of her father, she made sure that her siblings received the best education. Gifted with some extraordinary talent, this family has produced some of the very prominent names including Anwar Maqsood, Zubaida Tariq and Zehra Nigah!

Google Fatima Surraya Bajia

Fatima Surayya Bajia also won numerous awards for her services including Pride of Performance and Hilal-e-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan. She also served as the Advisor to the Chief Minister of Sindh.

At the age of 85, Bajia died on 10th February 2016 due to throat cancer leaving her acquaintances and followers teary-eyed.

Her remarkable services towards Urdu literature and TV drama will be cherished forever!

Pakistan Digital Rights Foundation conducted a survey on what politicians in Pakistan were referred to from January-July 2018.

This report was shared in a tweet by digital activist and lawyer, Nighat Dad.

“While Pakistani women politicians are ‘sexy’ ‘cute’ & beautiful’ in Facebook comments, male politicians can be a ‘lion’ ‘thief’ & ‘hero’. From our upcoming data-driven report on #PakElections2018: how women politicians experience political campaigning online. Watch this space!”

Apple Expected to Unveil New iPhones at September 12 Event

Apple on Thursday sent out invitations to a September 12 event at which it is expected to unveil new additions to its money-making iPhone line-up.

Apple on Thursday sent out invitations to a September 12 event at which it is expected to unveil new additions to its money-making iPhone line-up.

In typical enigmatic style, Apple offered scant clues to what it has in store for the presentation to take place in the Steve Jobs Theater at its spaceship campus in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino.

Invitations had the words “Gather round” under a large golden circle.

Apple has historically held September events to show off new iPhone models, and this year the company is expected to stay true to that course.

Speculation includes talk that Apple introduces three new iPhone models, infusing some with features from a premium iPhone X that debuted last year with a $1,000 price tag.

Apple’s event comes a month after smartphone leader Samsung unveiled its latest flagship handset, the Galaxy Note 9.

Although the California tech giant is the world’s most valuable company with a market capitalization that recently topped $1 trillion, it has slipped to third place in the global smartphone market behind Chinese-based Huawei, according to surveys.

Coca-Cola Buys Coffee Chain Costa

Coca-Cola on Friday said it had agreed to buy global coffee chain Costa from its UK owner Whitbread for £3.9 billion ($5.1 billion).

“Hot beverages is one of the few remaining segments of the total beverage landscape where Coca-Cola does not have a global brand. Costa gives us access to this market through a strong coffee platform,” Coca-Cola chief executive James Quincey said in a joint statement.

The deal comes amid eroding consumer demand for conventional carbonated drinks owing to health and obesity concerns in the US and other markets.

World Environment Day: A Visit to Coca-Cola & WWF’s Watershed Management Project

Earlier in August, Coca-Cola’s fierce rival PepsiCo struck a deal to buy Israeli company SodaStream for $3.2 billion — in a pitch to consumers concerned also about mounting waste from soda cans and plastics in landfills worldwide.

SodaStream makes machines that carbonate home tap water.

Meanwhile, following pressure from activist shareholders, Whitbread announced in April that it would spin off Costa, leaving it to concentrate on its hotel chain Premier Inn.

Whitbread was forced to act after US group Elliott became its biggest shareholder with a six percent stake.

“The announcement today represents a substantial premium to the value that would have been created through the demerger of the business and we expect to return a significant majority of net proceeds to shareholders,” Whitbread chief executive Alison Brittain said in the statement.

“Whitbread will also reduce debt and make a contribution to its pension fund, which will provide additional headroom for the expansion of Premier Inn.”

Whitbread bought Costa in 1995 from founders Sergio and Bruno Costa and presently runs about 2,400 stores in the UK and some 1,400 around the world.

Costa also operates more than 8,000 Costa Express self-serve machines in eight countries, as well as placing its products in supermarkets.

Premier Inn has 785 hotels in the UK and a sprinkling of others in Germany and the Middle East.

Pakistani Actress Slams Punjab Information Minister For Offensive Remarks

By

Earlier this week, newly-appointed Punjab Information Minister Fayyaz Ul Hassan Chohan created an uproar when he passed obscene remarks about Pakistani female artists and private news channels.

At a mixed gathering in Lahore, the minister was heard saying that he would have transformed one of the famous actresses Nargis to Haji Nargis.

He said: 

If I had the authority, I would have made Nargis offer Hajj and Megha keep as much as 300 fasts a year.

As soon as the actress heard the remarks through local news channels, she took no time to slam the minister and said that she has quit the entertainment industry and leading an ideal life at her home.

She said:

 whoever this minister is, I have heard his statement and I would only like to tell him that you are on a responsible post. Choose your words rightly. Such words are not used for any woman sitting back at home.

Neither I discuss anyone nor I want any person to discuss me.

She further threatened the minister for legal action over his unacceptable remarks: 

Minister sahib, every individual has respect; be careful next time or else every respectable person reserves the right to take a legal action.

As soon as he got to know her reply, Fayyazul Hassan Chohan Chohan apologized through certain news channels, a clip of which was widely shared on social media as well. 

So while speaking with regard to that a word slipped my tongue about Nargis sahiba and a TV channel hyped it too much.

I apologise to Nargis sahiba from the core of my heart. She is a very respectable person, a star of Pakistan film industry and a [cultural] ambassador of Pakistan.

He also apologized to a few private news channels and said that he would be careful next time. 

I also apologise to the owners and employees of Kohinoor and Royal news channels. God willing, next time caution would be exercised with regard to all these things.

Dutch Caricature Contest

Dutch lawmaker, Geert Wilders has canceled one of the most controversial events of the year, the Dutch Caricature Contest depicting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Several protests broke out on social media after Wilders announced the competition in June According to tor reports, as many as 200 entries were received and the winner was to be awarded a cash prize.

Pakistan and other countries actively participated in the movement against the deeply offensive contest.

Prime Minister Imran Khan also released a video message urging Muslims nations to take prompt action against Geert Wilders.

“Our Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi is in contact with ambassadors of many Muslim countries. We will lodge a strong protest and convince the West, where only a handful of elements deliberately commit this act to malign Islam.

We will be able to make the West understand that it’s not just one Muslim country taking forward the issue or one Muslim country recalling their ambassador in protest, and through a unanimous statement in the UN”. -PM Imran Khan

The PM added that he will raise this issue on all global platforms with all neighboring Muslim countries and the UN.

Consequently, following massive the Dutch Caricature Contest has now been called off.

On his official Twitter account, the lawmaker Geert Wilders shared his statement:

“The threats resulting from the cartoon contest are running out of control,”

Wilders is known for being sour towards Islam and has openly expressed his opinions and views about Muslims on his social media.

Things got out of hand very fast as several rewards and bounties were set on the controversial lawmaker’s head.

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) called off their protest in Islamabad after Wilders announced the cancellation of the Dutch Caricature Contest.

The Dutch Caricature Contest has been a mockery of the most beloved individuals in the Muslim world. Not only have such contests hurt sentiments of the followers of Islam, but have also fueled the hatred and anger towards the religion.

It is the Givenchy Haute Couture wedding dress chosen by Markle and designed exclusively for her by British designer Clare Waight Keller, however, which will no doubt take center stage at the exhibit.

Featuring a bateau neckline, the minimalist gown was created from an exclusive, double-bonded silk cady, developed by Waight Keller, and features a triple silk organza underskirt.

Topping off the outfit is Markle’s silk tulle veil, which was painstakingly crafted by hand by a team of embroiders, with floral embellishments that represent each of the Commonwealth countries.

Following their turn at Windsor Castle, the nuptial outfits will go on to be displayed at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh from June to October 2019 (via WWD).

Pakistan & Indian Army Dance Video Goes Viral!

On Tuesday, a video of both Pakistan and Indian Army officers went viral. In the video, rival officers were seen dancing together on popular Bollywood songs.

However, this has left social media in a baffled state. According to one Facebook page, if Navjot Singh Sidhu is a traitor for coming to PM Imran Khan’s ceremony, does that make the Indian Army, ‘Desh Drohis’?

Whatever it may be, it surely is great to see that both the armies have enjoyed their time together. The happiness on their faces and their priceless expressions say it all, that peace is possible if you forget the pain and live in the moment.

Hats off to both the Pakistan and Indian army for taking a step closer to what might be the start of something new.
