    Hailey Bieber has a surprising reaction to Justin’s ‘thirstrap’ photo

    Supermodel-turned-beauty mogul Hailey Bieber has the most surprising yet relevant reaction to her husband, Justin Bieber’s recent thirst-trap selfie.

    Taking to his Instagram handle on Monday, Canadian pop-star posted recent selfies of himself, wearing only a pair of black athletic shorts and a white beanie, from what appears to be a break from a workout, and dubbed them as ‘thirst-traps’ – a visual shared with a clear intention to attract attention, desire, or admiration from others.

    The ‘Peaches’ hitmaker even captioned the two-picture carousel post with, “Thirstrap fa u hoes.”

    While the post garnered great response from his fans, with thousands of likes and comments, one of them caught the attention of social users; it was the unfazed reaction of his wife, Hailey Bieber, on her husband’s fitness post.

    Aleema Khan rules out differences with Salman Akram Raja, says he is ‘family’

    ISLAMABAD: Aleema Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, has clarified that there has been no disagreement or argument with Salman Akram Raja, stating that he remains their legal counsel and is considered “like family.”

    Speaking to the media, Aleema Khan dismissed rumours of a dispute with Raja. “There has been no harsh exchange with Salman Akram Raja. He is our lawyer and like family. It might be a personal matter for him,” she said.

    When asked about the upcoming by-elections, Aleema acknowledged that the matter is under discussion but stressed that any decision would ultimately be made by the party leadership.

    Commenting on the ongoing crackdown on PTI workers and supporters, Aleema Khan said, “Arrests won’t make a difference. I don’t understand why children are being picked up. I’ve also said they can arrest me too.”

    Meanwhile, PTI leader Uzma Khan stated that the party founder had clearly advised against participating in the by-elections, arguing that it would only harm the party and provide justification for the “unjust disqualifications.”

    Real-life fan? Man disguises as delivery boy to enter Shah Rukh Khans Mannat

    In a bizarre move, a die-hard Shah Rukh Khan fan attempted to enter the Bollywood megastar’s house, Mannat, disguised as a delivery boy.

    Indian social media influencer, Shubham Prajapat, left his 70k Instagram followers amused with his hilarious creativity, as he shared a video of himself trying to get into Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Mumbai bungalow, impersonating a rider of a private food delivery company.

    Bollywood Latest News & Top Stories

    The video opens with Prajapat initially waiting patiently outside the main gate of Mannat to enter the property and catch a glimpse of the ‘Jawan’ star and his family’s luxurious abode. However, he was left disappointed when the security personnel predictably denied him entry.

    That’s when the content creator decided to order two cold coffees from Zomato, for himself and SRK, and convinced the actual delivery guy to hand him over his bike and the delivered parcel. As he confidently approached the main gate again, to enter as a delivery guy, he was instructed by security guards to use the ‘secret back door’ instead.

    As he followed the instructions, Prajapat was excited to finally get inside Mannat, but his hopes crumbled again when another security guard asked him to call the number that had been used to place the order.

    When he failed to do so, the guard quipped, “Ek phone karega toh poora coffee wala nachega uske saamne (If Shah Rukh Khan would make a call, the coffee maker himself would break into a dance),” denying him entry.

  • What went wrong at KnokX wrestling? Rampage Jackson responds to son’s role

    What went wrong at KnokX wrestling? Rampage Jackson responds to son’s role

    Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has strongly criticised his son Raja Jackson after the 25-year-old allegedly assaulted professional wrestler Stewart Smith during a live-streamed event in Los Angeles.

    The incident took place at KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, where video footage shows Raja Jackson body-slamming and punching Stewart Smith repeatedly, even after the wrestler appeared unconscious.

    Other wrestlers intervened to stop the attack, but Rampage Jackson’s son left the venue before police arrived. Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department are investigating the case.

    KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy condemned the act, describing it as a dangerous and irresponsible breach of trust during what should have been a staged wrestling sequence. They emphasised that such violence has no place in the sport.

    Rampage Jackson issued a public apology on X (former Twitter), calling his son’s behaviour “unacceptable” and stressing his concern for Stewart Smith’s recovery.


    Rampage Jackson revealed that Raja Jackson had suffered a concussion during training and should not have participated in any physical event.

    According to Rampage Jackson, the situation escalated after Stewart Smith struck Raja Jackson with a can during the event, which was intended as part of the show.

    However, Rampage Jackson acknowledged it was a grave error for his son, an MMA fighter with no professional wrestling background, to take part in the event.

    Stewart Smith is currently hospitalised but is said to be conscious and recovering. His family confirmed he remains under observation following critical care. A fundraising campaign has been launched to assist with his medical expenses.

    In its 17 years of operation, KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy stated that nothing this severe had occurred before and apologised to fans and patrons. No arrests have been made so far, and police inquiries continue against Rampage Jackson’s son.
