Ayeza Khan under fire for 'insensitive' statement
Following the murder of 17-year-old influencer Sana Yousaf, Ayeza Khan joined her fellow celebrities and the internet in speaking out about the issue. However, her priorities didn't quite align with what netizens were expecting from her. Instead of condemning the murder or the perpetrator, Ayeza chose to discuss the repercussions of sharing one's personal life on social media. "Let's all understand the pros and cons of social media, especially when it comes to our security. Keep your addresses, car numbers, regular spots, and children's details private," she wrote. "It's not safe. It's just not safe. Share less. Times have changed," she emphasised. "Recognise that the audience you have today isn't the one you personally chose. It's from all over the world." The Meray Paas Tum Ho actor believes that it is one's own responsibility to guard what they put out in the digital world. "Let's take responsibility for what we share," she said. Adding a prayer, she concluded, "May Allah protect us all and keep us in good company. Ameen." 'Tone deaf much?' Although Ayeza's sentiments stemmed from a place of concern for the detrimental impact of social media on one's life, netizens called out her statement for lacking sensitivity and veering towards victim blaming. "Someone lost their life because some man had a similar toxic ideology as the roles your husband plays in every single drama he stars in, and your main takeaway is 'let's protect ourselves'? Tone deaf much?" an Instagram user questioned. The user didn't mince their words, urging Ayeza to tell her actor-husband Danish Taimoor to stop romanticising toxic masculinity in his drama serials and have empathy for the family who lost their young girl. "You should at least have some form of the humanity that you were preaching a few weeks ago, telling others to not victim blame," the user continued. "You seriously need to check yourself first and then hire a decent PR team because every statement you make is the most ridiculous, tone-deaf, and insensitive thing ever." A different netizen suggested that the Humraaz actor is hypocritical for having an active Instagram account and still putting out such statements. "While your whole life is on your social media account, you still have the guts to shape cold-blooded murder into a lack of self-protection. Please come out of the fancy clothes and glamorous shoots. The victim was not at fault at all. Maybe tell your dear husband to not choose scripts like he does all the time and stop normalising abuse on screens." Other criticism ranged from speaking out against male privilege to hoping to de-platform celebrities who perpetuate harmful ideas that influence the wrong minds. Many argued that the problem is not social media but the entitlement that criminals have to commit such heinous crimes without the fear of being watched or punished. As per the BBC, a 22-year-old man confessed to murdering Sana after being arrested. Authorities believe that Umar Hayat murdered the influencer at her home in Islamabad after she rejected his "offers of friendship". They informed the BBC that he broke into her house, fired two shots, and fled with her phone. Sana's family gathered in Chitral for her burial. Her father, Syed Yousaf Hassan, shared that she was his only daughter a "very brave" one at that. He added that she had never mentioned Umar or reported any threatening behaviour before her life was taken on Monday.

Ayeza Khan nails the effortless airport look
On Saturday, Ayeza Khan gave her Instagram followers a dose of effortless travel style with a carousel captioned: "Just me and my matcha, travel buddies for life! Catch you all at 4PM!" The actor did not drop any further hints about where exactly we should expect her to be except that she mentioned Lahore and very sweetly added, "Same ritual: Dad drops me to the airport, every time." In the photos, Ayeza sports oversized headphones, sipping matcha while checking her phone, standing in the sun with a relaxed air of confidence. In a sheer, white lace top layered over a neutral bralette, charcoal wide-leg trousers, tabi-style shoes, and a crisp white handbag slung across her shoulder, the star demonstrated how to be a showstopper while being entirely laidback. Adding a personal touch, she also posted a shot from the backseat of her dad driving, the two chatting in the front, an endearing father-daughter ritual her followers adored. Fan accounts rushed to the post to admire Ayeza's photos. One wrote, "I just admire this dad and daughter's beautiful bond," while another commented, "The Pakistani entertainment industry is nothing without you." On Sunday, she followed up with another carousel in a similar outfit, humorously captioned: "If someone asked me how to sleep enough, I'd tell them to sleep partially in the car and then partially in the plane," a relatable travel exhaustion post that had fans laughing and commenting. Recently, Ayeza's fashion game has been unmatched. We may be days away from Eidul Azha, but that hasn't stopped the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor from celebrating early. On Thursday, Ayeza shared snaps from a self-declared "Chand Raat" hangout with her siblings, complete with long drives, gol gappay, and gola ganda. Dressed in a flowy, multi-coloured floral dress cinched with a golden belt, and accessorised with matching gold jewelry, Ayeza lit up the night with her signature smile.

Chand Raat arrives early for Ayeza Khan
We may be days away from Eidul Azha, but that doesn't stop Ayeza Khan from celebrating early. In a carousel shared on Instagram on Thursday, the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor headed out for the night for what she dubbed as a premature "Chand Raat" hangout with family. "Having a 'Chand Raat' with my siblings with some long drives, gol gappay (or 'gol gappas' as Hiba likes to call them), and some gola ganda! These are the nights we won't forget!" she wrote in the caption. In the photos, Ayeza wore a multi-coloured dress with wide stripes of floral print. A golden belt clasped the lightweight dress in the middle, allowing the actor to complement the look with matching golden bangles, earrings, and necklaces. Pulling her hair back into a neat bun, she flaunted glossy makeup with a thick underline of kohl. The clicks also featured an appetising serving of gol gappay as Ayeza dug in, as well as the syrup-topped ice shavings of a refreshing gola ganda. While Ayeza posed solo and didn't add shots of her company in the carousel, her joy at having an evening getaway was evident in her bright grins. While the night was all about street food and dressing fancy, the Jaane Jahan actor spent the following morning with the waves of the beach. Framing a yellow dress with a white, collared shirt for this getaway, Ayeza settled in for a picnic on the sand, accompanied by inanimate objects on the mat. This post also showed off aesthetic shots, such as that of a rose tucked between a book's pages as the sun hung in the background. Her caption read, "A nice, warm morning with a little bit of sun and a whole lot of serenity. A barefoot walk on the beach, as the cold water washes over your feet, is a feeling I can't describe. The best things in life truly are free."

Resham's beef with KRQ
Do you think rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake are the only celebrities who have beef with each other? Think closer to home and think again. During a recent appearance on Suno To Sahi with Hina Niazi, actor Resham outlined her struggles with screenwriter Khalilur Rehman Qamar over the years, and the results are not pretty. Lamenting the quality of the screenwriter's work, Resham began, "People used to be proud of his dialogues. And now today, the dialogues he writes are coming back to haunt him. It is as if he has forgotten how to write." Citing divine justice as the cause of KRQ's apparent decrease in writing output, the Muthi Bhar Chahat actor continued, "Watch how Allah takes things away from people! He had many fans, and I used to be one of them. I am not anymore." Accusing KRQ of lack of originality, Resham added, "When I saw him recently, all I could see is that he copies films from India. No one remembers any of the dialogues from his works anymore. His dialogues used to be his strength and were what people remembered him for – but today, they have become his weakness." Resham noted that despite her efforts, it is sometimes unavoidable having to come face to face with KRQ due to the fact that they both come from a showbiz background. Recalling a time when she ran into him on a social occasion where others from the industry were also present, Resham detailed her shock at the writer's blatant rudeness. "I do occasionally have to meet him, but he has a very loud, very rude way of talking," explained Resham. "Once I had been invited somewhere by Humayun [Saeed] after his hit drama Meray Paas Tum Ho. Humayun told me to come, and he [KRQ] was also there. I said salam to him, and he just shouted at me and said, 'Don't say salam to me! Stay away!" Recounting her shock, Resham shared, "I didn't want to create a big scene in front of everyone. I kept my distance because my dignity is very dear to me. Otherwise, believe me, I know how to hold my own and talk back when someone is rude to me. This is his claim to fame now, you see." Over the years, KRQ has become almost as well known for falling out with women in the entertainment industry as he has for his written work – and now, after this latest list of grievances, it appears that there is no love lost between him and Resham.
