Ahmed Ali Akbar and Maham Batool Request Privacy for Their Wedding Photos: "We Do Not Consent"

Express Tribune21-02-2025

Love seems to be in the air in Lollywood these days, with several celebrities tying the knot.
Just recently, we saw Kubra Khan and Gohar Rasheed's wedding celebrations, followed by Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani's big day. So, it's no surprise that fans have been eagerly speculating who the next celebrity couple will be.
The latest buzz has been about Ahmed Ali Akbar, the charming actor famous for his role in Parizaad, and his rumored marriage to content creator and lawyer Maham Batool (@heytheremayhem).
While Maham isn't in the limelight like many of her celebrity peers, the duo's rumored wedding has sparked immense curiosity.
Although there was no official confirmation initially, fans caught glimpses of the couple's big day through sneaky, leaked photos and videos from the event.
Despite the online excitement, there was little information available about the wedding, leaving everyone wondering.
Yesterday, the couple decided to share the first official photos of their nikkah in a joint Instagram post. The beautiful images captured the essence of their intimate ceremony, and both fans and industry colleagues were overjoyed to finally see them in high-definition.
Ahmed posted a heartfelt caption, calling Maham his 'Heart, My Life 💜 My Peace, My Home 💍.'
However, what followed soon after raised a few eyebrows. In a clear and firm statement, Ahmed added a public service announcement requesting that no one—be it individuals or online publications—reshare their wedding images or videos, including those they posted themselves.
The couple emphasized their right to privacy, writing, "We do not consent to the publication or posting of any images or footage from our events.'
Naturally, this raised some questions from fans who were unsure about the request.
"That xtra note was not needed," remarked one fan. Yikes!
But as with all matters of privacy, it's important to respect their wishes. After all, they've made it clear that their celebration is something personal, and people should honor that.
The announcement didn't deter industry friends, who poured into the comment section to congratulate the couple. Mansha Pasha, Yumna Zaidi, and Osman Khalid Butt all sent their well wishes, with Mansha even apologizing for not being able to attend the wedding.
"Welcome to our crazy family!," said Osman Khalid Butt.
The lovely couple's wedding has certainly been a moment of joy, and we can't wait to see how their journey together unfolds.
As love continues to flourish in Lollywood, let's respect the couple's request and celebrate their happiness from afar.

Natalie Reynolds seen distraught outside TikTok HQ after account ban linked to controversial prank video

A video showing content creator Natalie Reynolds in distress outside TikTok's Los Angeles headquarters has gone viral across social platforms. The 26-year-old influencer appeared visibly upset while attempting to communicate through the building's glass doors during a phone call, reportedly seeking reinstatement of her banned account. Reynolds first gained attention in 2022 through popular lip-sync and dance videos before expanding to prank content and collaborative skits with boyfriend Zachary Huelsman, building audiences of 5.6 million YouTube subscribers and 133,000 Instagram followers. ‼️TikToker Natalie Reynolds was banned from TikTok for deceiving a mentally ill homeless woman into jumping into a lake, by promising her $20.00, and then running away when she could not swim. Austin fire dept/paramedics had to pull her out of the water. — i Expose Racists & Pedos (@SeeRacists) June 9, 2025 TikTok is a career 😬 ... according to Natalie Reynolds and it should go with a messed makeup 😂 Note: She got banned after convincing a homeless woman to jump into the lake for $20 then runaway. — Miriam 🫶🇪🇺🫶 (@Polit1cswithM) June 10, 2025 'I can't swim - I can only float' Natalie Reynolds was a famous TikToker with 2.5M Followers - she convinced a homeless person to jump in this river for $20 and then ran away when she started getting in trouble. TikTok later banned her. Days later she was filmed outside… — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) June 10, 2025 The incident follows recent controversy surrounding Reynolds' May prank video in Austin, where she allegedly offered a homeless woman $20 to jump into Lady Bird Lake despite knowing the individual couldn't swim. According to NY Post reports, emergency services responded after Reynolds and her group left the struggling woman unattended. While the influencer claimed the stunt was part of a "scavenger hunt," the footage showed her walking away as the woman called for help. Reynolds attributes her TikTok ban to professional jealousy from fellow creators, though many online commentators have connected the suspension to backlash from the lake incident. The platform has not publicly commented on its decision. Since the ban, Reynolds has shifted focus to Kick streaming, where she regularly engages with her 33,000 followers. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between controversial content creation and platform moderation policies, particularly regarding potentially harmful pranks. Industry observers note the case exemplifies the challenges influencers face when balancing viral attention with responsible content creation.

Justin Bieber references ketamine in cryptic social media posts about mental health

Justin Bieber has sparked concern with a series of cryptic Instagram posts referencing ketamine and expressing frustration about societal pressures. The 31-year-old singer's messages, shared on June 7, included philosophical musings on self-worth, mental health, and spirituality—along with a controversial mention of the drug. In one post, Bieber pushed back against the idea that relentless hard work guarantees fulfillment. "People keep telling me there's more work to do after I've given everything," he wrote alongside an extreme close-up photo of his face. "I listened to fools who told me to work harder, but there's no end to trying to earn your spot in this life." He later struck a more optimistic note, adding, "You have everything you need right now." Bieber also criticized modern work culture, arguing that life should center on love, not labor. "God will always inspire you to work hard," he wrote before adding, "Stop playing God, please." In a more alarming post, he shared an AI-generated response suggesting ketamine—a legal prescription drug used for depression and pain management—has been misused to "control people's emotions," particularly targeting Black individuals. The "Peaches" singer then shifted focus to spirituality, writing, "I always knew Jesus was the answer to our pain." He questioned the pressure to constantly self-improve, arguing that excessive effort can lead to self-absorption rather than genuine growth. His solution? "Let go, not try harder." This isn't the first time Bieber has shared enigmatic messages. Just days earlier, on June 3, he called "loyalty" manipulative, comparing it to mafia tactics. "Love over loyalty forever," he declared. Amid his introspective posts, Bieber celebrated a major milestone for his wife, Hailey Bieber, whose skincare brand, Rhode, was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty—reportedly making her a billionaire. The couple, who married in 2018, welcomed their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, with Justin occasionally sharing rare glimpses of their family life.
