‘One punch from me is enough,' Mishi Khan challenges Kangana Ranaut
Listen to article Pakistani actress Mishi Khan has criticised Indian actress Kangana Ranaut for making remarks against Pakistan and its people during the ongoing Pakistan-India tensions. Responding via a video posted on her official Instagram account, Mishi Khan addressed Ranaut's recent statements, which targeted Pakistan. "How did you like Pakistan's response? Hope you enjoyed it," Mishi said in the video. "Speaking against Pakistan and its people has cost you dearly." The actress further warned Ranaut to think carefully before making such comments again. 'We are here to defend our country and our people. Before pointing fingers, take a look at your actions,' she added. Mishi Khan also proposed a symbolic 'middle ground challenge,' comparing it to a cricket match. 'I challenge you — one punch from me would be enough,' she said. Ranaut has previously drawn criticism for her strong political views, particularly when commenting on sensitive international issues. Pakistan-India ceasefire Pakistan and India agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday following days of intense military exchanges that raised fears of a full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. The announcement was first made by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The ceasefire came after missile strikes, drone incursions, and retaliatory operations across the border. Tensions flared after a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), that left 26 civilians dead. India blamed Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence; Islamabad rejected the claim. India responded by closing the Wagah border, revoking Pakistani visas, and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty—moves Pakistan labelled as an 'act of war.' By May 6–7, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, claiming to have downed five Indian jets, including Rafales, and intercepted 77 Israeli-origin Harop drones. The US played a central role in facilitating backchannel diplomacy. Secretary Rubio and Vice President JD Vance held talks with senior leaders from both countries, including PMs Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi, as well as top defence and intelligence officials. Following Trump's announcement, both countries suspended military activity across land, air, and sea, though allegations of ceasefire breach were also reported from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC).

There are numerous pressing issues in our society that need attention, yet we keep bringing up the same topics," Mishi remarked. Moreover, Pakistani actor and host Danish Taimoor has apologised for his recent comments about the possibility of having four marriages, which sparked widespread criticism on social media.

Maria B responds to criticism from Aurat March Lahore
Listen to article Maria B, one of Pakistan's leading fashion designers and successful businesswomen, has responded to the recent protest organised by the Aurat March Lahore. The protest, held on February 12 in celebration of Pakistan's National Women's Day, saw demonstrators march from the Press Club to Faletti's Hotel, carrying placards targeting Maria B and former actress Mishi Khan. In her reply, Maria B dismissed the protest, labelling it the "Qaum e Lout March" and the "Unsuccessful Women's March." She stated that the public of Pakistan had already rejected such demonstrations, and voiced disappointment at the protestors' actions. Maria B further criticised the organisers, suggesting their motivations were driven by external funding and an agenda. She expressed her belief that the majority of Pakistani women desire to live in line with Islamic teachings, striving for independence and success to support their families, rather than associating with those she described as unsuccessful in their careers. Her comments have sparked further discussion, with Maria continuing to champion women who seek to be strong contributors to their families, rather than aligning with what she perceives as a controversial movement.

Mishi Khan slams Ducky Bhai's videos as ‘shameful'
Listen to article Pakistani actress Mishi Khan has criticised YouTuber Ducky Bhai, calling his videos "shameful" while defending family vlogging amid growing criticism. Speaking on a podcast, Mishi Khan said that while family vlogging itself is not wrong, it should remain respectful and free from vulgarity. Mishi Khan recalled watching a Ducky Bhai video years ago, where he was using offensive language while roasting someone. "Children also watch his videos. I stopped watching after just five seconds," she said. She further criticised Ducky Bhai for leading a hate campaign against fellow YouTuber Sham Idrees, which resulted in widespread negativity against him. "Karma exists, and seven years later, Ducky Bhai himself has been exposed," she remarked. The actress praised Sham Idrees and Zaid Ali, calling their content original and entertaining. She specifically commended Zaid Ali's 'Brown Mom' and 'Brown Boy' concepts, which were widely popular. However, she expressed disappointment that new YouTubers have failed to maintain the same quality. In an Instagram video, Mishi Khan again called out YouTubers who built careers using offensive language, naming Ducky Bhai as the worst offender. "These people have taught 13 and 14-year-olds to swear. Has anyone in Pakistan stood up against them?" she questioned. She also praised Indian YouTuber Dhruv Rathee for producing high-quality content and revealed plans to become more active on YouTube herself. Mishi Khan's remarks come amid ongoing debates about family vlogging and the role of YouTube content creators in shaping social behaviour.
