The photos ranged from her father's youth, sharing space with her mother and lovingly holding a baby Mahira in his arms, to the two posing together recently. Mahira wrote, "I will forever and ever be my Aba's little girl. Grateful every day to be born to a sufi gangsta like Hafeezur Rehman Khan. Alhumdulillah. Happy birthday, my favourite travel companion, my Aba. Te amo."
Mahira, who has often shared glimpses of her family life on social media, concluded her post with a humble request to her followers: "PS make a little prayer for my Aba today. Would be lovely x."

Last month, the actor, adored for her roles in Humsafar and Raees, stole the spotlight at a family wedding alongside her husband, Salim Karim. The couple's energetic dance to Anarkali Disco Chali charmed everyone, particularly since the song playfully included Salim's name in its lyrics. Fans praised Mahira for her effortless grace and chemistry with Salim, calling the moment a heartwarming glimpse into her personal life. Since tying the knot last year, Mahira and Salim have become a favourite celebrity couple, with their joyful moments - like this viral dance - continuing to win hearts both on and off the screen.

Lana Del Rey gives context to ongoing feud with Ethel Cain
Lana Del Rey has offered further explanation regarding her ongoing dispute with fellow artist Ethel Cain, following recent speculation about tension between the two musicians. The feud gained attention after Del Rey posted a video on Instagram featuring a snippet from an unreleased track, rumoured to be titled All About Ethel. The lyrics appear to reference Cain directly, prompting Cain to announce on her Instagram Story that Del Rey had blocked her on the platform. In a new Instagram comment, Del Rey shared more details about her perspective. She stated, 'I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago — when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters making constant comments about my weight, I was confused at what she was getting at. Then when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed.' Lana Del Rey elaborates on her lyrics about Ethel Cain, stating that the singer used to body-shame her: 'I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago — when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to… — Pop Base (@PopBase) August 14, 2025 Cain has not publicly responded to these allegations. Earlier, fans had speculated that the feud might involve musician Jack Donoghue, who previously dated Del Rey. The new track includes the lyric: 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose,' referencing similar photographs of both artists with Donoghue. Del Rey's upcoming album, from which the song is expected to appear, was initially slated for May 2025 but has been delayed. Two tracks have already been released, with more teased during her Stagecoach Festival performance in April 2025. The situation remains ongoing, with no further statements from Cain at this time.

Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain spark social media feud over new song lyrics
A possible feud between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain has emerged on social media following the release of a video clip previewing Del Rey's new song, All About Ethel. In the Instagram post, Del Rey is seen sitting in her car while the track plays. The opening lyrics reference Cain directly: 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose.' Online comparisons quickly surfaced showing similar photographs of both artists posing with musician Jack Donoghue, formerly linked to Del Rey. Donoghue was photographed with Del Rey outside Cook County Jail in Chicago in July 2022, while a similar image featuring Cain and Donoghue dates back to 2021. Later in the track, Del Rey sings, 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House,' a phrase connected to Cain through a 2022 New York Times article. Del Rey herself was photographed working at a Waffle House in Alabama in 2023 as part of a publicity stunt. Following the clip's release, Cain posted on her Instagram Story, 'Update: Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram.'

Reynolds fuels speculation over 'Deadpool' return
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious image on Instagram this week, reviving speculation about his return in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The post, which featured the Avengers logo defaced with Deadpool-style red graffiti, instantly grabbed attention across social media. The stylised design — resembling both the iconic Avengers "A" and an anarchy symbol — has been interpreted by fans as a deliberate hint at the wisecracking anti-hero's involvement in the film. Reynolds' portrayal of Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in the Marvel pantheon since the release of Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). His most recent outing, last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, became a global phenomenon, raking in $1.3 billion at the box office and uniting him on screen with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the first time under the Marvel Studios banner. Despite the character's success, Marvel's official "big chair" cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday did not include Reynolds. However, the film's sprawling, multiverse-driven storyline — combined with Deadpool's unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking nature — has kept speculation alive for months. The timing of Reynolds' post is also fuelling excitement. Marvel is deep into production on Doomsday, and insiders suggest that another major cast announcement could be imminent. The film, which is slated to release ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, is being positioned as a pivotal chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), bringing together characters from multiple timelines and franchises. Filming has been under way for several months, with set photos revealing appearances by Sam Wilson's Avengers line-up, members of The Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four, and even legacy X-Men characters. Leaked images have shown actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reprising their roles from the former Fox X-Men films. The return to the Fox X-Men universe has only heightened hopes for a Deadpool & Wolverine reunion within Doomsday. Given Reynolds' history of teasing fans with playful misdirection, many are reading the Instagram post as more than just a joke. Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. A spokesperson declined to comment on casting rumours, saying only that Avengers: Doomsday will feature "some of the most unexpected alliances in MCU history." For now, the speculation game continues - and if Reynolds' online track record is anything to go by, fans can expect more cryptic clues before the studio makes anything official. Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for worldwide release in May 2026.
