Mashal Khan doesn't believe in one-sided love
Mashal believes that poets are to be blamed for why people attribute love to suffering. "They promote this idea that love exists to bring you pain, that until you're in a hospital bed, your love isn't real," she said.
"But true love elevates you. When two people are good for each other, they help each other grow in life, not hurt each other in the space they occupy. What is the point of fighting and perishing when you're supposed to be stronger against the world?"
Despite her views, the Suno Chanda actor revealed that she was infatuated with someone back in school. Discussing this anonymous person, she said, "From what I know, he didn't become a very good person in life. He's like those individuals who don't hurt people consciously but are so careless with their actions that they crush others along the way."
Mashal was previously in a romantic relationship with Ali Ansari, who is now married to Saboor Ali. At the time of the couple's engagement, she called out the gossip-mongers who tried to sour the two's big moment by dragging Mashal into it.
"It is so sad that a moment which is supposed to be of so much happiness for a couple has been turned into idle gossip," Mashal wrote in an Instagram Story in May 2021. "It has come to my knowledge that several attempts are being made to pull me into Ali Ansari and Saboor Ali's engagement announcement."
The actor went on to congratulate the couple and added, "Let's not try to ruin someone's moment, shall we?"
Last month, Saboor and Ali were blessed with a daughter. Announcing the happy news on Instagram, Saboor wrote, "Our tiny miracle, our biggest blessing. The sight of the smallest of hands leaving the biggest of impact is unbelievable. Welcome, Serena Ali, to the world. The magic awaits you."
The heartfelt note was attached to a black-and-white carousel of Saboor in the hospital bed and Ali standing by her side as they held their little one up. The post also featured the newborn baby's tiny feet and hands enveloped in her parents' hands.

Jana Duggar is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Wissmann, nearly one year after the couple tied the knot. The Counting On alum, 35, announced the pregnancy on Instagram, sharing joyful photos with her husband and revealing that their baby is due in January 2026. 'We are so excited, January 2026 is going to come with a little bundle of joy joining our family!' the couple wrote in the caption. 'We're counting down the days and eagerly looking forward to this thrilling new chapter in our lives!' The announcement comes almost exactly a year after Duggar and Wissmann were married in a 'classic, elegant' ceremony on August 15, 2024, in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The wedding took place at The Grand at Willow Springs and was attended by 500 guests. Jana's sister Jessa Duggar Seewald served as maid of honor, while other family members, including Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, Jordyn Duggar, and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar, were bridesmaids. In a pre-wedding interview with PEOPLE, Duggar spoke about how the experience felt surreal after years of wondering whether she would ever get married. 'It felt like, 'Okay, it's never coming.' But now it's starting to sink in,' she said. 'It's a dream come true.' Duggar also shared that she had initially been cautious about falling in love, but Wissmann's patience and consistent support helped build trust. 'He must really, genuinely care about me,' she said, adding that he never pressured her and remained a steady presence through life's ups and downs.

Cambridge dictionary adds Gen-Z lingo into its database
Find out what some of the new age terms really mean! Image background via Cambridge Dictionary has added new entries over the past year, including Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang such as 'skibidi,' 'delulu,' and 'tradwife,' its publisher announced Monday. Tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflects a growing and controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles, Cambridge University Press said. The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. Read: 'Brat' crowned Collins Dictionary word of the year The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". The dictionary cited Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's use of the phrase 'delulu with no solulu' AFP/File "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.
