Both have embarked on highly celebrated solo careers. The younger of the two has managed to grab himself Grammys for Harry's House, earning not just one but two nods from the Recording Academy, taking home Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. These achievements are not lost on the 33-year-old star, who praised it, saying, "Still very, very proud of him, taking over the world, definitely."

Now that the group has gone its separate ways, talks of a reunion keep coming up every time they speak in an interview. Liam Payne 's death saw them releasing a statement together, marking a bittersweet moment for their admirers. His funeral had them meeting up, albeit in another sad turn of events.

Perrie Edwards Says Zayn Malik Relationship Was ‘Toxic', Little Mix Felt Frustrated: ‘I'm Done With Men'

From pop stars of 'rival' teams to fiancés and then exes, Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik's relationship has been spoken about far and wide. More than their romance, it is their break-up that created online buzz and spread like wildfire over the One Direction star's alleged breaking of the engagement over text. Now, the Little Mix member has spilled details of their past relationship, saying that the whole ordeal left her wanting to swear off men forever, especially because of the 'pain of heartbreak'. Perrie Edwards details how Zayn Malik relationship made her feel Speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, Perrie Edwards let little be hidden. While she never mentioned his name throughout the chat, it was obvious the singer was talking about her highly public relationship with Zayn Malik. After being linked in 2012, the members of the two teams formed on X Factor were the talk of the town. Post a dating phase of three years, the former One Direction star and the Little Mix member parted ways. Recalling the tough time in her life and how the relationship between the two young people was not right in many ways, she said, "I think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. Because it was my first relationship, first love.' Not thinking anything was astray until it couldn't be salvaged, she said, 'I was like, 'Oh, this is how it's supposed to feel. It's supposed to feel a little bit toxic, in some ways.'" However, the end of the seemingly troublesome relationship made her reflect in many ways, 'I was almost thinking like I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn't even want to meet anybody. I was like, that's me done. I don't think I could bear that pain. Like the pain of heartbreak is so grim that I remember thinking I'm done with men forever." She added how it affected her relationship with her teammates because everything they did was made to be about him. 'At the time, it must have been frustrating for the other girls, getting asked about it all the time." Perrie Edwards has since gotten engaged to footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

'Tu kab se mera baap ban gaya?' Irfan Pathan's 'dog meat' retaliation silenced Shahid Afridi's 'barking'; Razzaq shocked

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan recounted a past episode where he had a heated exchange with Shahid Afridi during a flight. Pathan and Afridi shared several memorable battles on the field, where the former emerged victorious on several occasions, including the 2007 T20 World Cup final, where he dismissed the former Pakistan all-rounder for a golden duck. The left-handed all-rounder relished clashes against Pakistan, picking up 67 wickets across formats and amassing 807 runs with the bat, including a memorable century. The fierce India-Pakistan rivalry added extra intensity to the clash between Pathan and Afridi. Irfan Pathan recalled heated altercation with Shahid Afridi.(X Image) Pathan revealed that when Team India was on a tour of Pakistan in 2006, both teams were travelling together on the same flight from Karachi to Lahore, and that's where he had a heated argument with Afridi. The veteran Indian all-rounder elaborated on the matter and said that it was Afridi who started it by messing up his hair and calling him a kid. "During the 2006 tour, we were travelling by flight from Karachi to Lahore. Both teams were travelling together. Afridi came and placed his hand on my head, messing up my hair. He asked me, "How are you kid?" I said, "Since when have you become my father?". The childish behaviour was actually his. He was not my friend. After that, Afridi said some abusive words to me. His seat was right next to mine," Pathan said on Lallantop. "Shahid Afridi has eaten dog meat" Pathan, the Player of the Match in the 2007 T20 World Cup final, added that Abdul Razzaq was seated next to him during the flight, and he casually asked him about the different kinds of meat available there, which shocked the Pakistan all-rounder. 'Abdul Razzaq was sitting with me then. I asked him what kind of meat is available here. He told me about the different kinds of meat. Then I asked if dog meat was available. Afridi was sitting right there. Razzaq was shocked to hear this and said, 'Hey Irfan, why are you saying this?',' he added. Pathan revealed that he didn't hold back and said Afridi had eaten the dog's meat, which is why he had been barking. "I said, "He (Afridi) has eaten dog meat, he has been barking for a long time" After that, Afridi couldn't say anything. Whatever he might have said, I would have just said, 'Look, he is barking again.' After this, he remained silent throughout the flight. From this incident, he understood that he could not win against me verbally. That's why he never said anything to me again," he added.
