Mexican singer Natalia Lafourcade is pregnant with her first child
The news came as a surprise to fans, as the couple has kept their relationship and personal life mostly out of the spotlight.
Lafourcade, known for her poetic lyrics and multi-Latin Grammy-winning albums, revealed the pregnancy in a recent Instagram post, sharing a heartfelt message alongside photos of her baby bump. The acclaimed artist is already well into her pregnancy, though no exact due date has been shared.
Juan Pablo López-Fonseca, her husband, is the creative force behind several of Lafourcade's most intimate and award-winning music documentaries. A respected filmmaker in his own right, López-Fonseca has worked closely with Lafourcade over the years, often blending music, culture, and history in his visual storytelling.
Despite her global fame and critically acclaimed career, Lafourcade has maintained a quiet personal life. Until now, little was known about her relationship with López-Fonseca, making the pregnancy announcement a joyful and unexpected reveal for her fans.
Natalia Lafourcade's contributions to Latin American music have earned her a revered place in the industry. From her breakout album Hasta la Raíz to the deeply cultural Un Canto por México, she continues to shape the sound of modern Mexican folk and pop.
As she prepares for motherhood, fans around the world are sending their congratulations and eagerly awaiting updates on both her growing family and future music projects.

Behroopia' writer distances herself from TV drama
Screenwriter Rida Bilal has publicly distanced herself from the TV series Behroopia, stating that the story currently airing no longer reflects her work. In a strongly worded Instagram post on Friday, Rida alleged that her script had been significantly altered without her consent. "When your name is on something that no longer reflects your voice, it's time to speak up," she wrote. "Scenes changed, characters twisted, and intentions lost. The writing you see now? It's not mine." With Faysal Quraishi and Madiha Imam in lead roles, Behroopia centres on Mahnoor, a woman who enters a second marriage only to discover that her new husband harbours a disturbing secret. Framed as a psychological thriller, the series explores themes of deception, betrayal, and societal taboos surrounding divorce and remarriage. In her post, Rida claimed the story has now veered far from her vision. "I have tried to state a lot of things in a dignified manner before, but everyone has their limit and I have finally reached mine," she wrote. "Behroopia no longer reflects my ideas, writing, or the emotion with which it was created for the audiences." Rida further criticised the network and director, writing, "It, however, does reflect the channel's lack of ownership, the director's unfulfilled desires and his knack for writing, which he should practise more often so that the industry can completely go down the drain." This is not the first time a writer in the Pakistani television industry has raised concerns about creative interference. Bee Gul has previously stated similar challenges. Her 2014 series Zid, which centred on a woman resisting forced marriage and societal pressure, was reportedly undermined by producer interference. Gul said the pressure compromised the show's potential and contributed to its critical failure. Rida's post has drawn widespread attention online, with many industry professionals and viewers expressing support. As of Saturday, neither the private channel nor the director of Behroopia issued a public response. Rida is known for her work on dramas such as Khudgarz and Do Bol, and has often been praised for her character-driven narratives and emotionally grounded writing.

Aurat March stands with director Jami
Aurat March has issued a statement in support of filmmaker Jamshed Mahmood, widely known as Jami, following his conviction under Pakistan's criminal defamation laws. In an Instagram post, Aurat March said, "Pakistan's criminal defamation laws are a powerful tool to silence survivors of sexual violence and their allies." The group added, "Jami's conviction under these unjust laws is a reminder that the legal system does not support survivors, it punishes them." The current case began at the Lahooti Melo festival in 2019, where Jami read out a letter written by an alleged victim of sexual harassment targeted by a "music video and TVC director". He later posted about it without naming anyone. However, he shared a screenshot from another victim's account, which had Sohail Javed's name in it. Javed subsequently filed a PKR1 billion defamation suit against Jami, claiming that the public reading of the statement had damaged his reputation and caused him "mental torture." On July 8, a sessions court in Karachi found Jami guilty of criminal defamation and sentenced him to two years in prison. The verdict drew criticism from activists and the creative community, who argued that the conviction would discourage survivors and their supporters from speaking out. Both parties were previously ordered by the court to maintain the status quo and refrain from further public statements about the case. On Thursday, the Sindh High Court granted bail to Jami. In 2015, Jami's film Moor was selected as Pakistan's official entry for the Academy Awards and bagged a screening at the 46th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). "It's slightly abstract for a Pakistani audience. Critically, it's one of the best, but financially, it's probably the worst right now. The film was not for the masses, and we had 11AM screen timings. I mean, nobody would come on a weekday at 11AM. We were sidelined as an art film," Jami told IANS after the film's release.

Yasir Hussain slams discrimination at elite Karachi restaurant
Actor and director Yasir Hussain has raised his voice against discriminatory treatment reported at some of Karachi's upscale clubs and restaurants, where patrons wearing traditional attire are allegedly being denied service. In an Instagram Story posted on Friday, Hussain responded to reports that a man was turned away from a restaurant in Karachi for wearing shalwar kameez, the national dress of Pakistan. 'There is increasing disrespect towards shalwar kameez. This drama has started in many clubs and fine-dining restaurants,' he wrote, labelling them as 'Wannabe Angrez.' Actor Mishi Khan also publicly criticised the same establishment. In a video posted on her Instagram, she said, 'I am shocked. Can you believe they called our national dress cheap? We're running on foreign funding, paying double the debt, we lack jobs and resources, and just look at their attitude! As if they're from Switzerland!' The outrage is justified, as she questions what exactly these people deem as appropriate dress: 'What are we supposed to wear now? Should we wear bikinis or hot pants just to be allowed in? I will definitely find out which restaurant this is, and I will reveal its name to you.' This controversy involved a man reportedly identified as Advocate Abdul Latif, who alleged that he was turned away and that the staff told him, 'We don't serve pendus,' using a derogatory term for rural or unfashionable people. Latif said that after facing humiliation, he sent a legal notice to the restaurant, but the administration has yet to respond. He has now approached the Consumer Court, seeking action against the restaurant. The shalwar kameez is Pakistan's national dress and a cultural symbol. Yet, private venues enforcing Western dress codes have sparked debate over class-based discrimination and cultural erasure. Hussain pointedly remarked that venue owners have adopted an attitude towards traditional dress similar to their attitude towards Urdu. The matter has drawn public backlash. Social media users have demanded identification and a boycott of the restaurant. One user wrote, 'Truly boycott such restaurants — they will remember their place. Speak to them in their own language, and they will stay within their limits.' Another user echoed, 'Agreed. We should take a stand on this!' Have something to add to the story?
