Rabi Pirzada definitely stays in the news, and that too for all the wrong reasons. In fact, for the past few days, Rabi Pirzada has been making headlines one after another and now, considering her streak of making news, one wonders if the latest gimmick is part of the plan too, because seriously, nothing can be trusted these days. But if this isn’t planned and is a leaked ‘private’ video of Rabi’s that has gone viral, the culprit needs to be reported and made to serve the due punishment for cyber bullying and harassment.
In a rather unfortunate turn of events, a video featuring Rabi Pirzada, dancing naked has gone viral. Sources claim it has to be Rabi’s boyfriend who uploaded a ‘private’ video on social media and made it go viral.
Although a number of people have been bashing Rabi for the video, majority have come out in support of the singer cum actress claiming how social media has already ruined lives for a lot of people and Rabi shouldn’t be subjected to any criticism and the issue be dealt with complete sensitivity.
Here’s what Twitter is saying regarding Rabi Pirzada’s leaked video

Famous writer Khalil-ur-Rehman is known for his problematic views about women. In a recent interview, he called himself ‘feminist’ and shared his views about women.
p’Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar in an interview defended his ideas and ‘Philosophy’ around how he sees society.
He talked about his famous drama serial ‘Mere Pass Tum Ho’ and shared, “It (Mere Pass Tum Ho) is a story of several men, not just one. I have come across multiple married couples who go through the same ordeal. I’ve observed when a married woman cheats, she doesn’t feel ashamed at all. The reason behind her not feeling guilty is because she has been backed by another man. When an unmarried woman cheats, she feels guilty.”
He also stated, “But when a married man betrays his wife, he feels guilty. He feels embarrassed.”
Khalil also said that women shouldn’t criticize Mere Pass Tum Ho and shared, “I’m only narrating this story in your [women’s] favor. Like it or not, I don’t call every woman a woman. To me, the only beautiful trait a woman can possess is her loyalty and her haya/modesty. If a woman isn’t loyal then she is not a woman. Register an FIR against me for if you don’t subscribe to my point of view but I won’t budge.”
He also shared, “Get someone to try me under #MeToo, I won’t care about that either. But I won’t be able to call every woman a woman. That simply isn’t true for me.”
He continued and talked about how he is fighting for good women and said, “A man leaves all his honor, his self-esteem with his wife when he goes out to earn a living. And I curse those women who violate that trust. That was the concept behind Mere Pass Tum Ho and so I’m fighting for the ‘good women’. It would be unfair to these [good] women to be classified along with those who aren’t loyal.”
He called himself feminist and shared, “Trust me, you’ll not find a bigger feminist in Pakistan, but I fight for good women only. Loyalty is a woman’s virtue; don’t challenge it.”
“A few weeks ago, a feminist group had a conversation with me regarding equality. I asked them if they’ve ever heard about a gang of men kidnapping a woman? They assured me they have. I asked them then why don’t women do the same? If you wish to strive for equality then kidnap men as well. Rob a bus, gang rape a man, so that I can understand what you [women] mean by equality.”
“Rather than figuring out your own rights, you’re only asking your part from men’s rights. That’s never going to happen! The most one of these feminist groups can do is chant slogans against me, tweet a few thousand tweets but that’s it! Women can’t do anything else.”
Qamar believes if women were to challenge men the whole society will collapse.
“I was once in conversation with Sultana Siddiqui, and she asked me, ‘Khalil, why don’t you write anything against men?’ I asked her what should I write about men? Should I abuse him? I would, but then what? She said, ‘What do you mean? Even men remarry and indulge in extramarital affairs. Why do you choose to be so selective?’ I just had one question in response, ‘But with whom? A woman, right?’”
He believes if a woman says no to man then men will not be tempted to have extramarital affairs. He blames women are the reason behind the extramarital affairs of men.
He kept on saying how women are the reason behind the extramarital statement and justified his thoughts by saying, “You have to understand this philosophy. A wife is worried about what? Another woman. That other woman isn’t a man. So riddle me this: you are destroying a man and you’re the one who’s complaining about it as well.”
“A man cannot say no. He just can’t. A good woman can,” he concluded.

Dawn happens to be Pakistan’s oldest and most respected media outlets in Pakistan. When trying to authenticate a news story or looking for a source, Dawn is one of the first and most reliable source for all, Pakistanis or otherwise.
And so, when Dawn, is accused to have changed a story, something as sensitive as a rape story, of an established filmmaker, there are bound to be questions and allegations.
Although Dawn was the first publication to feature Jami’s story when he opened up about his rape in the morning, the platform took the story off all its social media by the afternoon.
Not only this, all of Dawn’s employees (editors and writers in point) had taken down the tweets or comments where they had shared the story’s link on social media.
People began to question and even Jami himself had a cryptic reply which hinted at the fact that there was some internal politics going on, especially, when the mention of the ‘media tycoon’ who had raped Jami, was deleted from Dawn’s story once it became live again.
And so, its only natural that backlash landed at the only name for Dawn’s editor, Hamna Zubair. Perhaps Hamna had been receiving a load of queries as to why Jami’s story was removed and then edited. This prompted Hamna to share how she had resigned from her position at Dawn in August.
Hamna then urged the public to direct their questions to Dawn’s current editors who would be able to answer people in official capacities. She herself stated her disappointed at the story having been edited but maintained that Dawn and its editors had always been ethical and courageous, and that if there would be any developments, Dawn would always do the right thing by its standards.
A recent update on Meesha and Ali’s court case is here. The mother of Meesha Shafi, Saba Hameed appeared in court to record her statement as Meesha’s first witness.
Saba Hameed testifies against Ali Zafar. Meesha’s first witness appeared in court and supported her allegations against Ali Zafar. Saba Hameed is a renowned TV actress and she is the first witness in the defamation case filed by Ali Zafar.
Saba told the court that sexual harassment in the entertainment industry is common as it is in our society generally. She said that Meesha is a private person and best to resolve the issue before going public with her statement against Ali Zafar. Meesha was not prepared to work with Ali Zafar due to past incidents of sexual harassment. She told the court that her daughter informed her of the incident of harassment 10-15 days prior to going to the public. Saba recalled that her daughter told to her “I am never going to put myself in this position ever again” in reference to the incident of harassment. She described the mixed feelings of guilt and shame which stopped Meesha from coming forward after the first incident a few years back. She told the court that it was only after experiencing a pattern of behavior from Ali Zafar did her daughter feel compelled to come out or even mention the incidents of sexual harassment to anyone.
Saba further said that her daughter was speaking the truth and that she spoke in the public interest. SHE Also said that in her generation women were fearful about speaking on such matters like sexual harassment but now things have changed women are more courageous. They are speaking up and realizing that it is not their fault that if they are being sexually harassed and it is no one’s concern that if they choose to wear cloth of their choice and that should never be the reason/justification was inappropriate touching/sexual harassment or rape.
Saba Hameed disclosed that she was also aware of other women who have been sexually harassed by Ali Zafar but she is not choosing to disclose their names because of the privacy reasons of those women. She explained that it is difficult for a victim of sexual harassment to speak especially where the harasser and victim have a relationship of friendship and trust.
Saba also shared that since Meesha’s tweet, it was Meesha who had suffered more reputationally, financially, emotionally and socially. Saba also shed light on the systematic vilification campaign against Meesha and the allegations she faced about her statement. Saba said that victims who share their experiences and name their harassers are labeled as trouble makers in the industry and end up losing work. She also said that her daughter tapped into all avenues to resolve this situation but was unsuccessful and only then she takes the step to go public.
She stated that ” Meesha is perceived to be an empowered woman but it is true that even the bravest the women experience fear of repercussion.”
Ali Zafar again failed to file a reply in the defamation case for Rs.2 billion filed by Meesha Shafi. Ali Zafar’s counsels have filed an application in the court asking the judge to stay Meesha’s defamation on the ground that Ali Zafar’s suit for defamation should be decided first. Meesha counsels have turned the move by Ali Zafar a dilatory tactic to avoid adjudication of Meesha’s case against Ali Zafar. The next date of the hearing has been set to November 2019.

Emotional baggage are feelings which weigh us down and make it difficult for us to carry on with our day. We all carry some sort of emotional baggage within ourselves. These can be feelings of anger, sadness, guilt or any other such emotions. Let’s look at the different types of emotional baggage there are:
Anger
Anger is a natural emotion which leads to a lot of heartbreaks, words which should not be said and eventually guilt. Anger leads to cutting off relationships, whether it is with friends or family or your partner. Holding on to anger means we won’t be mending your situation with the said person which is totally unhealthy. Anger can also cause many health problems such as depression, eating disorders, etc.
Guilt
Guilt can really eat you up during a relationship. Maybe there is something you can’t share with your partner and the more you keep it inside you, the more it strains your relationship. Maybe you cheated on them but had no intention to or you keep thinking or a past relationship. Hanging onto such guilt becomes troublesome for a lot of relationships. If you and your partner trust each other, it is best to confide in each other to let go of the feelings of guilt.
Regret
Regret stems from doing one thing and not the other because you thought the other was right. It can be an one going process and leave you in a vicious cycle which can be hard to come out of. But in all honesty, we can’t really predict the future, so we should learn to be happy in the moment and let go of the feeling of regret. Stop treating yourself as any less of a great human being and be proud of your achievements.
Fear
The fear of the future is much much worse than the fear of what has gone past. Especially in a relationship, when time goes by, we become fearful of our partners intentions, their feelings and commitment. This causes us to overthink situations and create scenarios in our mind which may or may not be true. The only way to overcome this is to communicate well with each other and be truthful about everything especially the future.
Stress
Stress can really wear a person out, in turn causing them to become moody and resentful towards others. Many people believe stress co-relates to being productive, but that can’t be true. You can easily mess things up if you’re stressed out.
Shame
Telling a lie to save oneself from an unfavorable situation can leave feelings of shame. Or if you think, you would be judged upon certain circumstances, you resort to not speaking the truth. Every person is in a scenario because of a certain purpose, so no need to feel shameful or remorseful for that purpose. Be confident and take things on as a challenge.
Self judgement
We often criticize ourselves for situations which are not even in our control and end up feeling bad about it. This self judgement can really leave us depressed and worried.

Coke Studio’s episode 2 was released this Friday. The artists lineup included Ibrar Ul Haq, Zeb Bangash, Shuja Haider & Rachel Viccaji. This episode had some brilliant performances to its credit. Lets get to all the songs one by one:
1- Billo :
Coke Studio’s rendition of 1995 classic Billo by Abrar Ul Haq was the first song of this episode & what a performance it was. I felt so nostalgic. Everything was just perfect. The energy, the music, the vocals, everything was on point. Lyrics were too funny. I always love Coke Studio songs more because of the backing vocalists and they were the best thing in this new rendition of Billo. The way they were singing it and enjoying it was great. Kudos to them. Billo surely is going to be the new Bhangra song for weddings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBxrpNO3EV0
2- Roshe:
Roshe is a Kashmiri folk song written by Habba Khatoon, sung by Zeb Bangash. This one has a very calm feel to it. Lyrics are beautiful. It is a song of ‘love and loss’. The melody is mesmerizing. However, this one is facing criticism on social media by Kashmiris, who are saying that Zeb’s pronunciation of Kashmiri language was not good.
3- Saiyaan:
Saiyaan is a duet of Shuja Haider & Rachel Viccaji. Sadly, this one wasn’t uploaded on YouTube due to copyrights issues but was uploaded on Coke Studio’s Facebook Page. Saiyaan is by far my most favorite Coke Studio song of this year. The melody is beautiful. Shuja Haider has no comparison when it comes to composing songs. Rachel has done a brilliant job. I liked the way Shuja has reused Mann Maayal’s OST’s lyrics in it. I hope that the copyright issues are resolved soon because this one is a masterpiece not to be missed.
Which song did you people like in this episode? Share your thoughts in comments!

Adnan Siddiqui’s character as Shahwar in ARY Digital’s Meray Pass Tum Ho, is not only being appreciated because of his acting, he’s also being thoroughly hated by the audience for it.
Most of the people say, its because of Adnan’s charisma and his personality that a despicable character like Shahwar is being liked and received well by the audience. The type of acting prowess Adnan Siddiqui has shown, is simply superb and watching him play shades of grey in a drama, has being a great experience so far with Meray Pass Tum Ho.
However, despite the popularity, Adnan Siddiqui has been receiving a fair amount of criticism and hatred from the audience for the traits Shahwar possesses. He’s heartless, he’s mean and he’s all set to snatch a wife from her husband and a mother from her child, just because he’s obsessed by his beauty and wants it all for himself.
In a recent interview, when Adnan Siddiqui was questioned about the criticism he had been receiving as Shahwar, he gave out a message to his audience, stating how the audience should have been criticizing his character’s traits and not him as a person. “Danish, Mehwish and Shahwar in Meray Pass Tum Ho are characters and not the real actors Humayun, Ayeza or Adnan. Its the characters that should be receiving the bashing not the actors,” said Adnan.
Adding further about the popularity of Shahwar and Meray Pass Tum Ho, Adnan stated, “I’d say Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and Nadeem Baig deserve the most praise for having come up with such a drama. Humayun has been kind to let me do a powerful role.”
Adnan Siddiqui also said that he had been receiving praise for Shahwar as well and would like to ask the audience what they liked about the character so much.
Talking about the reason he said yes to the character Adnan Siddiqui added, “I loved Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s dialogue. I feel, Shahwar has powerful dialogues and I feel lucky to have been given that.”
