Lahore woman interjects during Bilawal’s presser from rooftop
“Talk about us, not politics,” a woman called down from a rooftop in Baghbanpura as Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari spoke to journalists in Lahore’s inner city, briefly cutting across his remarks.
In a video of the exchange, Bilawal is seen addressing reporters, saying: “At this moment, we are standing in the inner city of Lahore, and the way things are here… if we talk about Lahore—” when a woman’s voice interrupts him: “Talk about us, not about politics.”
Bilawal pauses and turns towards the source of the voice, replying: “I shouldn’t talk about politics here, what should I talk about you? You tell me. You tell me, what should I talk about? What should I say about you?”
From the rooftop, the woman responds simply: “May Allah keep you safe.” Bilawal then closes the exchange by saying: “Thank you very much — this is exactly what I was talking about. Thank you, thank you,” before the clip ends.
The interaction took place during Bilawal’s visit to the Chaman Park area of Baghbanpura, where, according to the PPP, he had arrived to offer condolences to the family of veteran party worker Comrade Zubeida Shaheen.
He expressed sorrow to her daughters — Zahida Jafri, Shahida Jafri, Abida Jafri, Rubab Jafri and Hijab Jafri.

50 Cent gives verdict on murder allegations against Diddy
50 Cent opened up Sean Diddy Combs’ life to viewers in his documentary, Diddy: The Reckoning, and shared his opinion on the rapper’s involvement in the unsolved Tupac Shakur’s murder case.
The 50-year-old musician brought up the murder-for-hire allegations against the disgraced music mogul and noted that he doesn’t think the Last Night rapper would be charged for the case now.
“He’s already been implicated,” 50 Cent shared, adding that he cannot be investigated if the murder claims he wasn’t paid, in conversation with Us Weekly. Duane “Keefe D” Davis previously stated that Diddy had offered him $1 million to kill Shakur, back in 1996.
The Bad Boy Records founder denied the claims in 2008, and Davis was arrested in September 2023 and is scheduled for trial in 2026.
The In Da Club hitmaker documented the music mogul’s history in the Netflix documentary that he produced, and claimed that he remained truthful to his life, despite their long-ongoing feud.
“[The Reckoning] shows his full story. Puff cares a lot about legacy, everybody knows that. This doc doesn’t shy away from any part of it. The success, the trauma, the power, the contradictions … all of it. He might not like every single thing that’s said, but I think he’ll respect the scope of it. It’s honest. It’s complete,” 50 Cent told the outlet.

Sam Asghari still ‘respects’ ex Britney Spears
Sam Asghari is keeping things respectful when it comes to his ex-wife, Britney Spears.
The actor, 31, opened up about their past relationship in a new interview with Playgirl, sharing that he holds nothing but admiration for the pop star, 44, despite their marriage ending in 2024.
Asghari referenced an Iranian proverb that advises never speaking ill of someone with whom you’ve shared a bond.
“And whatever follows is irrelevant,” he told the magazine.
“So, I always want to respect that. I’m always going to stick to that, and that’s the number one thing for me.”
The couple first met on the set of Spears’ Slumber Party music video in 2016, got engaged in September 2021, and married the following June.
They separated in August 2023, and their divorce was finalized in May 2024.
Asghari spoke warmly of Spears in the interview, emphasizing that what matters is the bond they shared behind closed doors.
“The best thing you can do is celebrate the past, appreciate the past, and not dwell on the fact that it’s over,” he said. “Be happy it ever even happened.”
Though he is currently dating Brooke Irvine, Asghari continues to support Spears from afar.
After Spears called their marriage “a fake distraction” in an August 2025 Instagram post, Asghari issued a statement through his rep, “Our marriage was very real to me. It may have been short, but we were together for seven years. I was in love with her, will always have love for her, and wish her the best always.”
He also reflected on the impact of their high-profile relationship on his career.
“When you’re in such a public relationship … it sort of gave me that platform for who I am,” Asghari explained, while noting it also meant he had to “work harder to prove myself.”
Even after their split, Asghari’s words show he values the connection he shared with Spears and remains grateful for their time together.
