No, Hasan Raheem has not tied the knot just yet
We knew it: the groom fit, the cryptic caption, the refusal to let anyone repost the pic, it had music video shenanigans written all over it. And now, in the most Hasan Raheem fashion possible, he's come clean: "I'm still single," he posted on Instagram. Hearts mended. Playlists queued. Back in April, the Joona heartthrob sent fans into a collective meltdown with an Instagram post showing him suited up like a groom, seated next to a woman in bridal wear. "Kept it lowkey, it was a big day," Raheem wrote in the caption. Naturally, Gen-Z went into emotional cardiac arrest, because had Pakistan's crush really gone and soft-launched a wedding? It turns out that the shoot was just a teaser for MEMORIES, the first track from his upcoming album DKP. The song dropped on Friday, and so did our jaws. A groovy Punjabi-English crossover featuring the powerhouse Peechay Hutt royalty Justin Bibis, MEMORIES marks Raheem's first foray into Punjabi vocals. It's moody yet groovy, like crying in the middle of the dance floor while still serving looks. Shehryar Khan's production gives it that slick, urban beat we've come to expect from Raheem's genre-bending, bedroom-pop style. And the video is pure, iconic chaos. Set at a wedding, Raheem (playing groom) is confronted mid-celebration by the ghosts of his ex-girlfriends. What follows is a dramatic, slow-mo showdown that quickly escalates into a stiletto-flinging brawl. The women unite against their shared heartbreak, and Raheem gets the on-screen thrashing of a lifetime. Blood, glitter, bruised egos — it's heartbreak with an RSVP. There's even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where someone hurls a cake. It's cinematic mischief at its finest. Online reactions were predictably unhinged. "I knew this was a prank," yelled one fan. "Bro, you played with my heart," wept another. Actor Osman Khalid Butt took a jab at Raheem's trademark messy hair, commenting, "I knew the news couldn't be real when I saw your unwashed hair." Anoushey Ashraf simply declared, "Good job!" Long before the wedding-day chaos of MEMORIES, Raheem was winning hearts with his tender, unplugged performances. Back in February, he shared a stripped-down version of Obvious on Instagram, enchanting fans with his warm, soulful vocals and intimate lyricism. With DKP on the horizon, it's safe to say Raheem's just getting started.

Exclusive - Shiwani Chakraborthy opens up on shooting for Anupamaa and why she loves it
Actress Shiwani Chakraborthy , who is currently seen in Anupamaa , says that while shoots can get hectic, she feels blessed to have got good work. The actress adds that she loves her job, and waits to go on the set every day. 'As we all know how hectic it's been shooting daily 12/13 hours, but despite that tiredness, I always feel if I'm working, I'm blessed. As after COVID, every field has slowed down, people are not getting work. The only motivation I get is — come on Shiwani, God has given you work, you are blessed — and that makes it easy to go to set daily, whether it is monotonous or hectic. And also, I'm a workaholic person. I love holidays though, but after 2/3 days it's like ohh I'm missing my set,' she says. Shooting with like-minded people also has its perks, says the actress, adding, 'People with the same thinking, or say when you match vibes with them, it helps a lot in your performance too. Because after all, we stay more on set than home. So people with a good and healthy mindset are very important for your good work.' She adds, 'Good chemistry with your co-actors is an important part of shoots. I believe it's always give and take when it comes to performing, and if you and your co-actors have a good bond off-set, on-set it's visible in the scenes. You need someone to boost you or correct you. The actors with no jealousy and insecurity have the best chemistry ever, and I'm lucky to have such friends and actors around me — all are super talented and good souls. ' Working with Rajan Shahi is a dream come true, she says, adding, 'This is my first show with DKP, but I found this is an institution where you have to maintain discipline and focus on your work — which I think is very important for all the actors. They are always available for you if you need anything. If you want to communicate, they are a call away. And when you feel a home-like atmosphere in your workplace, automatically your performance speaks. ' Meanwhile, she also adds that she loves being part of TV. 'TV is always first. It's the audience's choice and views. Though people are now having many platforms, still we have TV audiences in good numbers. Because people from different places — cities, small towns, metro — all have their means of entertainment as TV. And so, TV has to be people's go-to comfort. Makers always try to keep their audience happy with the storyline or say whatever way to keep audiences hooked up with the show,' she says. ' She adds, 'TV shows are evolving and it will keep on growing. Our viewers are also evolving with time. So now makers are trying to change the patterns and also story so that viewers do not get bored. Because nowadays people want more natural things to watch. So yes, change is good for growth.'

Indian show accused of copying Pakistani drama 'Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum'
Listen to article Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir's Pakistani drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum created a significant buzz in the world of Pakistani television, captivating both online and offline audiences. The show also gained immense popularity across the border in India, thanks to its relatable story and cultural similarities between the two countries. However, Indian viewers are now enraged after discovering that Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, India's longest-running show, has been allegedly copying Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum scene by scene. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, starring Rohit Purohit and Samridhii Shukla, has recently been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Produced by Rajan Shahi under Directors Kut Productions (DKP), the show has drawn attention for its striking similarities to the Pakistani drama. Social media users were quick to point out the scene-by-scene mimicry, leading to widespread trolling of the show's creators. The ongoing track of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai follows the characters Abhira and Armaan, who struggle to make ends meet after moving out of their luxurious home. The storyline, focusing on their efforts to rebuild, bears a strong resemblance to Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, especially in terms of its key scenes. Viewers also noted that the sets and house styling closely resemble those of the Pakistani drama. One user commented, "The house, the styling, omg, DKP is so shameless, not a single original thought in that production house nowadays." Another user highlighted the similarities in a specific scene involving the parents' visit, saying, "They even copied the bottle scene when the parents visit. They could have added their touch to the storyline but they aren't doing anything, just copying. This will bring hate to the characters because they don't have the chemistry like Musjeena." Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which translates to Sometimes You and Sometimes Me, follows the classic romance trope of a marriage of convenience. The story revolves around Sharjeena, who is left heartbroken and humiliated when her fiancé, Adeel, unexpectedly calls off their wedding after his wealthy boss, Rubab, proposes to him. Refusing to be pitied or cause any social embarrassment to her family, Sharjeena takes matters into her own hands and proposes to Mustafa, Adeel's younger, unemployed, and carefree brother. What starts as a mere necessity slowly blossoms into a tender romance, where love quietly unfurls amidst the shadows of uncertainty, clashing spirits, lingering heartache, and the weight of financial struggle. On the other hand, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, which translates to What is this relationship called, which has been on air since 2009 and has consistently topped the TRP charts, is now facing growing disappointment from its audience due to the ongoing track. Meanwhile, the popularity of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum continues to rise in India, particularly because of the strong chemistry between its lead actors, Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir. In light of the backlash, viewers are now waiting for a statement from DKP regarding the allegations.
