Nadia Khan calls online sacrifice experience a “Stylish Qurbani”

by

KARACHI: Actress and television host Nadia Khan has described her experience of performing online Qurbani this year as a “stylish sacrifice,” saying she received neatly packed portions of meat instead of traditional arrangements.

Speaking on a private television morning show, Nadia Khan said that due to restrictions in her residential society, where animal slaughter is not permitted, she opted for an online sacrifice service.

“I received packages, but they weren’t pink-themed packages they were meat packages,” she said humorously, adding that she previously lived in a society where designated tents were set up for Qurbani.

She explained that the service provider informed her in advance that hides and certain portions such as head and offal would not be delivered, but approximately 15 kilograms of neatly packaged meat would be sent directly to her home.

Nadia Khan said the arrangement made the entire process convenient, noting that she only had to receive the packages rather than manage the traditional sacrifice process.

“This year my Qurbani was truly stylish because I just had to receive the parcels,” she added, describing the experience as smooth and well-organized.

Javeria Saud says ‘perfect-looking’ couples often face hidden marital issues

KARACHI: Renowned Pakistani actress and television host Javeria Saud has said that couples who appear to have “perfect” marriages are often the ones struggling with hidden relationship issues.

Speaking on a morning show recently, Javeria Saud discussed the topic of husbands’ infidelity and the misconceptions people have about ideal relationships.

She said that in real life — unlike in dramas — if a couple seems flawless and a husband appears to be overly caring and attentive, it can sometimes indicate that “he is involved in an extramarital relationship.”

Explaining her point, the actress added, “Such men tend to overcompensate to avoid suspicion. They buy gifts, act extra sweet, and try to make their wives feel secure.”

Sharing a lighthearted personal example, Javeria remarked, “If my husband Saud suddenly becomes too nice to me, I immediately ask him if he needs something or if there’s something going on. Later, I find out it’s usually about the kids or some small favor.”

Fiza Ali faces criticism over resurfaced video of drugging her team

Fiza Ali

KARACHI: Pakistani model and television host Fiza Ali has come under intense criticism after an old interview clip resurfaced online in which she admitted to mixing medicines into food prepared for her team.

The video, recorded two years ago, shows Fiza discussing various aspects of her career and recounting an incident where she became upset with her team during a show.

 She claimed that, in anger, she cooked “paye” (trotters) for them and added medications including Xanax, cough syrup, multivitamins, and Panadol — even sourcing additional medicines from outside — before serving the dish to her team the next day.

According to Fiza, one team member later informed her that many fell ill, some vomited, and a few required oxygen support, and even her ex-husband Fawad was warned a police case might be filed against her.

She maintained, however, that “nothing serious happened” and those who ate the food merely became drowsy and slept it off.

The resurfaced clip has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many users labeling her actions as criminal and calling for serious legal action against her.
