Nick Jonas' bedroom rule sparks online debate among fans
Nick Jonas has revealed a strict personal rule about how he uses his bedroom, sparking widespread discussion online. Speaking on the 18 August episode of the social media series Are You Okay?, the Jonas Brothers singer explained that he only uses his bed for sleep. 'I think beds are for sleeping only,' Jonas said. 'Like I don't sit on the bed. I don't eat on the bed. I don't read a book in bed or watch TV. I can't do it.' He added that part of the reason behind his rule is comfort, explaining: 'I just don't like it to get warm, I run hot…it's a whole thing.' Jonas, who shares a three-year-old daughter, Malti Marie, with wife Priyanka Chopra, clarified that the rule does not prevent his wife from relaxing in bed. 'My wife watches it,' he said, referring to television. 'I'll pull a seat up and sit next to the bed.' The revelation prompted a wide range of reactions from fans on social media. One user commented: 'The bed thing should have made him not okay,' while another wrote: 'Pulling up a chair while Priyanka is in bed watching TV together is crazy to me.' Some disagreed, with one viewer saying: 'The bed just for sleeping is my take too.' In a previous interview with E! News in February, Jonas said that time at home with his family helps him reset after performances. 'It's nice to feel like when you go home, you get to sit back on your couch and get those cuddles or whatever else you need to recharge,' he explained. Jonas is currently touring with brothers Joe and Kevin as part of their 20th anniversary Greetings From Your Hometown tour.

Saima Noor's dance video goes viral
Senior star of Pakistan's film industry Saima Noor has once again become a trending topic online, this time due to a dance clip circulating widely on the social media, Express News reports. The video, posted on various Instagram pages, shows Saima dressed in blue trousers and a light green T-shirt, performing a dance sequence. From the setting, it appears the footage may have been recorded during the shooting of a film song, though it remains unclear which project it belongs to. One of the hashtags linked to the video is "Ishq-e-Lahore", suggesting this could be Saima's upcoming project expected to be revealed soon. However, neither the actress nor the production team has issued an official confirmation. It may be recalled that Saima Noor previously went viral when a gym workout video of hers gained attention online and was largely praised by fans. This latest dance clip, however, has triggered a mixed response. Some users commented that Saima Noor's age no longer suits such a dance performance and that she should focus on delivering quality acting instead. Others, however, defended the actress, stating she still looks beautiful and confident, and that this enduring charisma is her true success.
