Naeema Butt and Emmad Irfani cross paths in London
Naeema Butt filmed a hilarious exchange with Emmad Irfani in an Instagram Story shared Thursday. The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum stars crossed paths in London, where Naeema channelled her infamous character Rubab as she accused Emmad's Adeel of treachery once more.
"I'm here in London right now, and guess who I just found," Naeema said to the camera, before turning it to reveal a smiley Emmad accompanied by his wife and fashion designer Maryam Shafaat. "What are you doing here, Adeel? With another woman?"
"Love in London," Emmad cheekily responded, laughing. Shaking her head, Naeema mimicked him in faux disdain. "That's the film's title. We're here in front of Buckingham Palace," Emmad said.
The two attracted popularity for their masterful portrayal of the ambitious Adeel and the headstrong Rubab in the Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir starrer. Depicted as foils of the cast leads, Adeel and Rubab undergo a turbulent marriage fuelled by their individual flaws and bad decisions. Even now, audiences laud the Emmad and Naeema's performances as the malicious characters.
In an interview with BBC News Urdu in September, the two spoke about the impact that the love-to-hate characters have had on their lives. "It doesn't matter much that [Adeel and Rubab] are a hated couple. What matters is how truthfully we portray the script," Emmad said.
"I've been getting a lot of love and so is Rubab," Naeema said. "I think I can count the negative texts I've received about how people hate Rubab or that they want to slap her. But it's not that much."
When asked about the logic behind Adeel's fidelity to everyone's wives but his own, Emmad said, "Only Farhat [Ishtiaq] ji can answer this question. But given my own knowledge of the character, I feel that Adeel's overt superiority complex is influenced by his inferiority complex.
"He's been pampered by his family since childhood, so there's this societal pressure to be the best, look the best, earn the best. It's like the survival of the fittest for him. So he has ingrained in himself that he must do everything on its own. It's beyond self-love. Narcissism, if you will. He's a very complex character," Emmad concluded.
Naeema, on the other hand, mentioned that fans' hatred of these characters sometimes translates to love. "I have received comments telling me that they used to like Rubab but not anymore, though they would also thank me for playing her well. So I'm like, wow," she said.

Brian Wilson, beach boys co-founder and frontman, passes away at 82
Brian Wilson, the legendary co-founder and frontman of the iconic American rock band The Beach Boys, has passed away at 82. His family confirmed the news on June 11 through an Instagram post, sharing their grief with the world. A photo of the smiling musician on a bench accompanied the statement: "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. Love & Mercy." Wilson, born on June 20, 1942, in Inglewood, California, was the eldest of three siblings, with brothers Dennis and Carl Wilson. He was known for his exceptional musical talent from a young age, which led to the formation of The Beach Boys in 1961. Initially named the Pendletones, Wilson and his brothers, along with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine, began their musical journey with hits like "Surfin' U.S.A." and "Surfin' Safari." Wilson was the primary songwriter, co-lead vocalist, and bass guitarist for the band. He helped define the "California sound," with hits like 'Good Vibrations' and the 1966 album Pet Sounds. His visionary approach to music marked a departure from the band's surf-centric themes, establishing his influence on modern pop and rock. Despite his musical success, Wilson struggled with mental health issues, including depression and the pressures of fame. He faced personal challenges, including a difficult relationship with his father, which later led to hearing loss in his right ear. In the 1970s, he retreated from public life, battling drugs, alcohol, and emotional distress. Wilson's comeback began in the 1980s with therapy and a revitalization of his career. He released several solo albums, including Brian Wilson Presents Smile in 2004, a project he had initially abandoned with The Beach Boys in the 1960s. Throughout his career, he received numerous accolades, including Grammy nominations, two wins for his solo work, and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Wilson leaves behind a legacy that shaped the landscape of American music. He is survived by his children from two marriages and his extended family.
