Mahira bumps into Onijah
If you thought the promotions for Nadeem Baig's Love Guru were running out of surprises, think again. While riding high during the film's promotions in the US, star Mahira Khan crossed paths with internet sensation Onijah Robinson. That's right. Mahira met up with the American woman who went viral for flying to Pakistan in search of the man she loved.
Both women took to Instagram to gush over the interaction. Posting on Stories, Mahira shared a video clip in which she asked her viewers, "I'm in New York, and guess who I have with me?" She turned the camera to reveal Onijah, who greeted the screen with her viral phrase, "Hello, Shabana!" The actor quickly joined in on the antics, indulging the influencer's phrases with enthusiastic nods and a captivating smile.
Meanwhile, Onijah posted a photo of the two on her handle, attending the premiere in a white-and-pink outfit while Mahira wore an elegant, fitted dress. "Showed up to the Love Guru premiere," she wrote. "They thought Mahira was the star. Plot twist: I'm the sequel."
The influencer might not be exaggerating as she did indeed run into fans of her own at the event, if the post of her taking photos with a crowd of attendees is any indication. Grateful for the love, she wrote, "It's one thing to post online, but feeling the love in person? That's the part that lives in my heart."
Mindful of all her fans, she added, "Every hug, every word, every smile - I see you, I feel you, and I carry that energy with me. Forever thankful for the real ones who show up and show love."
Mahira isn't lacking in love either, given her glamorous return to the world of cinema opposite Humayun Saeed. In the following Story, she shared a clip of her film's official trailer setting the billboards alight at New York City's Times Square.
The romance film's trailer dropped earlier this month, featuring Humayun as a love expert and Mahira as his alluring case study along with flaunting a star-studded cast which includes Javed Sheikh, Marina Khan, and Mira Sethi.
With a screenplay penned by Vasay Chaudhry, a key appeal of the film is the reunion of the Bin Roye stars in what appears to be another tale packed with obstacles that challenge the leads' affection for each other.
We'll find out in June whether or not Humayun and Mahira's characters will overcome the odds separating them, as the film is slated to hit theatres this Eidul Azha.

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood address feud rumours after 'The White Lotus' season 3
After The White Lotus Season 3 wrapped up, rumours of a feud between Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood began circulating. Fans noticed the two stars, who played Rick and Chelsea, weren't following each other on Instagram, leading to speculation about tension between the co-stars. In a joint interview with Variety, both actors addressed the rumours head-on, clarifying there was no bad blood between them. Goggins became emotional as he expressed his deep admiration for Wood, stating, "There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me." Wood echoed similar sentiments, dismissing the social media focus as "irrelevant." The Instagram unfollow, Goggins explained, was part of his emotional process after filming. "I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea," he said, revealing he needed some space after wrapping the show. Wood supported his decision, saying she understood completely. Both actors laughed off the feud rumours, with Goggins even re-following Wood on Instagram during the interview. "It's all so ridiculous," he added, emphasising their enduring friendship. They also shared a bittersweet moment, recalling a tender love scene between their characters that was cut from the final edit. Despite the rumours, it's clear that Goggins and Wood share a lasting bond, both on-screen and off, proving the reports of a feud were much ado about nothing.

Romeo Beckham splits from Kim Turnbull amid Beckham family rift rumors
Romeo Beckham has officially split from model and DJ Kim Turnbull after seven months of dating, sources confirmed. The breakup reportedly occurred just weeks after David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations, which Turnbull had attended alongside the Beckham family. Sources close to the couple claim the split was amicable and due to conflicting work schedules rather than any connection to the ongoing family rift involving Romeo's older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz. Speculation swirled around Kim's involvement in the feud, with some reports alleging Nicola was uncomfortable with Kim due to a past friendship with Brooklyn. However, insiders insist that Brooklyn and Kim were never romantically involved. Romeo and Kim's parting was described as 'friendly,' with the pair still crossing paths socially. Turnbull, 26, is a rising DJ and model from North London with a strong fashion and music background. She and Romeo, 22, made their relationship Instagram official in November 2024 and were frequently seen together at high-profile events. David and Victoria Beckham were reportedly fond of Kim and saddened by the breakup. The family tensions with Brooklyn and Nicola, who have been absent from several Beckham gatherings, have continued to fuel rumors. However, sources close to the Beckhams have pushed back against narratives blaming Kim, suggesting Nicola may be using her as a scapegoat. Romeo is no longer on speaking terms with Brooklyn, marking a deeper divide within the Beckham family.
