    Walking towards her ‘happily ever after’ Pakistani actor Mahira khan looked resplendent on her big day, dressed in decadent couture by Dubai-based designer Faraz Manan.
    Known for her work in Pakistani dramas and movies, Mahira is also well acclaimed internationally for her work in Bollywood and through her global brand affiliations. Having walked the Cannes red carpet and starred in L’Oreal campaigns, the 38-year-old actor needs no introduction amongst the South Asian diaspora.

    Recently, the Humsafar famed actor married her long-time beau, businessman Salim Karim, in an intimate ceremony. Nestled in an isolated location in Bhurban, a small town and a hill station in Punjab province in Pakistan, the venue for the wedding was equally breathtaking.
    For her big day, Mahira chose to wear a dreamy-but-heavily ornamented lehenga by Faraz Manan. Drenched in dove grey, the couture ensemble was painstakingly embroidered with ton-on-tone embellishments, further complemented with two dupattas and polki jadau jewellery.
    Before this, the actor-producer was first married to Ali Askari, with whom she shares her 14-years-old son, Azlan Khan. In the heartwarming visuals of her wedding, her son and younger brother can be seen walking her down the aisle.
    Take a look at the stunning visuals from Mahira Khan’s intimate wedding ceremony:

    Watched XO Kitty? Follow up with 7 other romantic dramas to fill the void

    Life

    by Ruman Baig
    5 mins ago

    Author Jenny Han is back with another teenage drama, but this time, it’s focused on the Gen-Z. XO Kitty is a spin-off of Han’s original ‘To All The Boys I Loved Before.’
    This particular series focuses on the youngest Covey sister, who happens to finally live her own love story after meddling in the love lives of her older sisters. Katherine Song Covey a.k.a Kitty is possibly the bravest out of the three sisters. She goes after what she wants and isn’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeves.
    Set in the beautiful city of Seoul (the land where all the romantic K-Dramas emerge from), XO Kitty follows the protagonist’s journey of finding love, forging a connection with her late mother and eventually finding herself amidst the chaos.
    What sets this drama apart? It could have easily been a cliché narrative where the boy meets the girl, some silly confusion and then a happy ending. Han approached a different storyline with this show — instead of giving the viewers a simple comfort watch, she toyed with the idea of sexual identity and how feelings can be fickle in your growing years.
    More than the romantic storylines in this show, it’s interesting to watch Kitty find friendships in a new country that become her ultimate source of strength through difficult times.
    Teenage dramas are typically known for pitting young girls against each other over a boy. While in the beginning, it does seem like this show will take a similar route — but through the course of ten episodes, it pivots. A refreshing departure from the girl vs. girl trope.
    Overall, XO Kitty is a perfect watch on a casual Friday night when you aren’t looking for any mind-utilising content. But after you finish the series, it will leave you in a warm and fuzzy place.

    Remember when Rihanna broke the internet after she announced her pregnancy last year? Her and A$AP Rocky’s first-born son recently turned one and to celebrate the occasion, the parents finally revealed his name.
    Born on May 13, 2022, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their baby boy RZA Athelston Mayers. The doting dad shared a sweet birthday wish where he mentioned his name, “WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN. HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA.”
    For the first few months of their baby’s life, both Rihanna and A$AP kept any and every information about him private. It was only recently when the Grammy-winning artist started sharing a few glimpses of her wonder boy with the world.

    Just as iconic as her first pregnancy announcement, Rihanna shared the news about expecting her second baby while performing high up in the sky for this year’s Super Bowl. Dressed in a custom red bodysuit, the beaty moghul returned to the stage after a long hiatus and left the crowd cheering for more reasons than one.
    Ever since, Rihanna and her glorious bump has made many public appearances. Whether it’s the Oscars or the Met Gala, both A$AP and Rihanna have been serving some serious sartorial looks.

    As the musical legends celebrate one year of being parents, here’s a precious photo diary that summarises what it entailed.

    Zendaya is not a jack of all trades, she is pretty much a master of everything she does. Case in point: The Euphoria star joined artist Labrinth on stage as they performed popoular tracks from the show at the Coachella music festival.
    The Emmy-winning actor, who is also a singer, hasn’t performed live for almost six years. This was until she broke the internet over the weekend, by singing not just one but two tracks (All For Us andI’m Tired) from the crowd-favourite HBO show.

    “Thank you all for welcoming me back on that stage with open arms. It’s been a very long time, so I appreciate it. I have never heard screaming like that in my entire life. As soon as I turned the corner, I couldn’t hear anything.” The Dune star acknowledged her fans and their heartfelt response to her performance in a series of Instagram stories. She also thanked Labrinth for making this iconic moment happen in the eleventh hour. “Thank you to Lab for inviting me and making all this happen so last minute.”
    Fun fact: Zendaya isn’t just the soul of Euphoria as Rue, but she also plays a poignant part in making the music for this infamous series. Apart from originally singing All For Us, she has also co-written Still Don’t Know My Name, alongside Labrinth and Muzhda Zemar-McKenzie.
    Taking a 360° pivot from her style on the show, Zendaya wore a flirty pink mini dress on a white tank top and clubbed it with a pair of thigh-high boots.

    The Stranger Things actor announced this happy new via Instagram. Of course, with Taylor Swift lyrics in the caption. Millie is all set to tie the knot with her long-time beau Jake Bongiovi, who she has been dating for almost two and a half years.
    The lines in her caption from the song ‘Lover‘ also confirmed the timeline of her relationship. “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,”
    The 19-years-old actor has been very public about her romance with legendary singer Jon Bon Jovi’s son. Engagement speculations first sparked when Millie posted a picture of the back of her head in a car — showing only part of her hand, enough for fans to spot a rock on her finger.

    Jake also made this new public on his social media, but in a more subtle way. With his arms around Millie and their backs facing the camera, the 20-years-old actor-producer captioned his adroable post with ‘forever’.

    While the details of the nuptials are yet to come, Millie did share her shimmering, oval-shaped  diamond ring with her excited fans. Like a true Gen-Z couple, they met on Instagram, became friends and the rest as they say is history.
    Here’s wishing the happy couple congratulations!

    ‘It was really hard’: Jennifer Aniston breaks silence on infertility struggles

    Lifestyle

    by Olivia Morris
    4 hours ago

    Jennifer Aniston has opened up about her journey with IVF (In vitro fertilization) for the first time ever.
    In a new cover interview with US magazine Allure, the 53-year-old broke her silence on her infertility and struggles to get pregnant in her 30s and 40s.
    For years, Aniston was subject to tabloid speculation when it came to starting a family when she was married to both Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017.

    But the constant guesswork and reporting surrounding the subject, Aniston admits was “really hard”, particularly as her infertility struggles were unknown to many.
    “All the years and years and years of speculation … It was really hard,” she said. “I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.”
    In fact, upon reflection, the actress admits she wishes someone would have told her to freeze her eggs.
    “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it,” she explained in the interview. “So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

    However, despite her infertility struggles, she has “zero regrets” and it’s, in fact, given her a sense of closure.
    “I have zero regrets,” she said. “I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe’. I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
    As for if she’d ever walk down the aisle again, the Friends star said “never say never”, but that it wasn’t on her radar.
    “I’d love a relationship. Who knows? There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support’,” she said. “It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody’s arms and say, ‘That was a tough day’.”
