Imran Ashraf encounters young fans in road traffic
In a video circulating online, actor Imran Ashraf shared a wholesome moment with his young fans while on the road. Briefly stuck in traffic, Imran rolled down the window of his car once he noticed kids in a mini-bus gazing at him in awe. The two parties waved at each other before exchanging enthusiastic greetings. "How are you?" the Ranjha Ranjha Kardi actor initiated. The fans responded with a chorus of "We're fine." When they asked him the same question, Imran responded with a polite nod. "We can't believe that we're watching you live right now!" exclaimed one of the kids. In a prompt yet lighthearted beat, Imran responded, "But I can believe it." The road traffic soon eased and separated the two vehicles, causing both Imran and his fans to bid farewell after the short-lived interaction. The Chaudhry and Sons actor's sweet encounter with his young onlookers earned a stream of hearts from netizens. Fans flooded the comments section with love. "That's what makes Imran Ashraf so special! Genuine, humble, and always connected to his fans - a true star both on and off screen!" an Instagram user wrote, while another wrote, "This is what I love about Imran sir. I've never seen another person who is as lovely and down-to-earth as he is." The actor-host has won hearts many times in the past for his endearing personality. In January, praise came from across the border as well when Indian comedy legend Johnny Lever recorded a video message to applaud Imran's multiple talents. Sharing the video on Instagram, Imran dubbed Johnny's praise as his biggest award. "The king of character actors, Johnny Lever sir. Love you. I will work harder thanks to your appreciation. May Allah always keep you happy," the Namak Haraam actor wrote. Meanwhile down in the comments, fans promptly wrote that Imran deserves every bit of success and praise that comes his way.

Walk away when it is time, advocates Juggun Kazim
In a recent appearance on Imran Ashraf's Mazaq Raat, actor and television host Juggun Kazim found herself on the other side of the questions as she opened up about her previous marriage and the importance of walking away at the right time. "I think I learned more from that experience than I ever learned at school or college," reminisced Juggun as she recalled her the trauma of first marriage. The Hadsa actor has previously shared painful revelations of how she remained a victim of domestic violence in that relationship for a year and a half until she walked out with her child in tow. "I had a lot of love for my son Hamza's father, but there came a point where I could not tolerate the violence and abuse," she reminded viewers and explained why everyone cannot choose to leave in such circumstances. "A lot of people do tolerate it, however, because that is their way of handling the situation." Having experienced the overwhelming feelings of a mother, Juggun explained that it was wrong for a woman to seek love only from a man. "We had a child together, I definitely had feelings for him," she recollected about her ex-husband. "But then I learned that if a woman does not get love from a man she is in a relationship with, she can get it from her child. The love you get from a child is enough. You do not need crazy infatuation to live your life and be happy; what you need is a love that is sustainable." Juggun went on to lament the ease with which some people allow themselves to be taken for granted and observed that some have a tendency to lose sight of what they have. "The people who have the biggest heart are valued the least because others always assume that they will be there," she rued. "Also, people only value what they don't have – which is why people change the minute they sign the marriage document." The actor insisted that it was not just men who took women for granted, or vice versa. "You will note that where they would once talk to their fiancée on the phone, boys suddenly start going on their boys' nights out," remarked the Agar actor. "And women do the same thing in their own way. The fact is, as soon as you get something, you lose the value of it. You should always fear you will lose the other person." As someone who has already been a victim of domestic violence once and found the strength to walk away, Juggun advised viewers to guard their boundaries, and warned of the dangers of letting anyone cross their limits. "If someone is taking you for granted, it is a full stop," she stated firmly. According to Juggun, no one else can help you know what your boundaries are, and that it is up to you to take a stand to take charge of your life. A firm advocate for agency, the host also reminded viewers that they did not have the power to change anyone else. Reiterating the importance of walking away once a line has been crossed, as she had once done, the actor added, "Ultimately, only you know how much you can tolerate it. You cannot change anyone else. You only know what your own limit is. You do not need to punish yourself. You can walk away."
