The excitement around the Asia Cup has been at its peak over the past few weeks, especially with the much-anticipated Pakistan vs. India clashes. With the two arch-rivals set to face off again in the final on Sunday, discussions and analysis from both sides of the border are flooding social media. But in the middle of all the cricket talk, a lighthearted moment involving former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar and Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has taken center stage. While analyzing Pakistan’s strategy for the big game, Shoaib Akhtar accidentally took Abhishek Bachchan’s name instead of Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma. In his video, Akhtar said: “If Pakistan takes Abhishek Bachchan’s wicket early on, their middle order is weak and Pakistan can make a better strategy.” The slip of tongue quickly caught attention, and even Akhtar himself realized it mid-analysis, laughing it off. However, the internet was quick to turn it into a viral moment. Abhishek Bachchan, known for his sharp wit on social media, didn’t miss the chance to respond. Sharing the clip on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, he wrote: “Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket.” Adding to the humor, he further joked that even if Pakistan succeeded in dismissing Abhishek Sharma early, it wouldn’t guarantee them a win against India. The actor’s cheeky response instantly won over fans, sparking laughter and memes across platforms. While cricket fever remains the main focus, this playful exchange between Shoaib Akhtar and Abhishek Bachchan has added a touch of humor to the high-pressure buildup before the final.

Popular Punjabi singer, actor, and producer Diljit Dosanjh has once again spoken his mind, this time about the hypocrisy he faced from Indian media and officials. Known worldwide for his hit songs and films, Diljit also enjoys massive love from fans across the border in Pakistan. His latest film Sardaar Ji 3 was a big success there, receiving overwhelming support despite political tensions between the two countries. During a recent show on his Aura Tour, Diljit addressed how his movie release became controversial because of the India–Pakistan conflict at the time. He recalled how unfairly he was targeted, despite the fact that the film had been shot much earlier. Sharing his frustration, Diljit said: “When Sardaar Ji 3 came out, it had been filmed long before the conflict, but everyone turned against me and blamed me. Now, cricket matches are being played between India and Pakistan after the conflict, yet no one raises any objections. I have kept these things in my heart, and I have not forgotten the way I was treated. I had answers to all the criticism, but I chose to stay silent. Even then, we condemned the attack and those responsible. We are Punjabis—we always stand with our country, India. We can never go against the nation.” Diljit’s remarks highlight the double standards he believes artists face when compared to sports and other industries. While he continues to receive endless love from fans in both India and Pakistan, his statement has sparked fresh debate about how politics often overshadows art and entertainment.

Dr Affan Qaiser, a well-known Pakistani doctor and digital content creator with nearly 5 million followers, often makes headlines for his awareness videos on trending issues. Alongside his wife, Dr Nazish, he also runs podcasts on his YouTube channel, where they openly discuss social and digital topics. Recently, Dr Affan appeared on the RTS with 24 Plus podcast, where he shared his views about targeting Iqra Kanwal and her family on social media. Dr Affan clarified that his criticism of Iqra Kanwal’s content is not personal but based on principle. He revealed, “I was the first person to congratulate Areeb when he became a father of a daughter. I do not have a personal grudge against them, but yes, I disagree with their practice of sharing their private family life online. Even their own relatives criticize it, but they defend themselves by saying it’s their only source of income.” He further addressed their recent binary trading promotion controversy, calling it irresponsible. In his words, “People like them should be made an example for Gen Z. At the same time, they should also be given some relief with a warning. However, there must be a clear boundary — no one should be allowed to record their bedrooms and private spaces. PEMRA should regulate this.” Dr Affan also admitted that while his videos gain views, his intentions are not only for popularity. “Of course, publicity matters, and yes, these videos get me views — I accept that. But my aim is to highlight real issues. For example, I even regret making the watermelon vendor video later when I learned it was based on misinformation.” With his statement, Dr Affan Qaiser once again sparked debate on whether family vlogging and oversharing private lives should be regulated or left as personal choice.

Recently, Saima Qureshi appeared in Adnan FHM’s podcast, where she spoke openly about men and second marriages. She defended her earlier statements on the matter and explained her perspective. Saima said that if men have such desires, they should fulfill them through marriage instead of choosing wrong or harmful paths. According to her, “One wrong decision by a man can ruin his entire family and future generations. If you indulge in wrong deeds, it’s not just you but your wife and children who will suffer.” She further suggested that if a man wishes to remarry, he should first take his wife into confidence rather than hiding it. Saima also pointed out that many men are already involved in extra-marital affairs, which society tends to overlook, but when it comes to marriage, people raise objections. In her words, “Why is haram (forbidden) so easy while halal (permissible) comes with so many hurdles? We even know women who have allowed their husbands to marry again. If men can do wrong without consequences, why not give them the right path of marriage instead?” Saima’s statement has sparked discussion online, with many people debating her views on marriage, relationships, and societal double standards.
