Actor Sajid Hassan’s son admits earning Rs 1.5 million weekly by selling drugs

March 2, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Karachi police arrested Sahir Hassan, Sajid Hassan’s son.
The arrests were made as part of the ongoing probe into Mustafa Aamir’s murder.
Sahir Hassan confessed to selling drugs through Snapchat for two years.

Karachi police arrested Sahir Hassan, son of actor Sajid Hassan, along with three others during a raid in the city’s Defense area. The arrests were made as part of the ongoing probe into the murder of 23-year-old Mustafa Aamir, who went missing in January.

During interrogation, Sahir Hassan confessed to selling drugs through Snapchat for two years, earning around Rs 1.5 million weekly, as reported by The Express Tribune. He also exposed key figures involved in the illegal trade, including influential businessmen and politicians.

Dismissing the notion that drug dealers approach students directly, Sajid Hassan’s son explained, “It is wrong to assume that we go to educational institutions to sell drugs. Instead, students place orders through an online mobile app, and deliveries are made to specific locations.” He further revealed that students are gradually introduced to weed, stating, “Initially, only a few students buy, but within months, the number of buyers increases significantly.”

SSP Shoaib Memon confirmed that Karachi’s drug supply is controlled by two major groups. “One group smuggles weed illegally from California, while the other sells Iranian weed,” he said, adding that recent arrests have disrupted “50 percent of weed sales in the city.”

Authorities have intensified their crackdown, with 20 key suppliers now in hiding. “None of the accused have fled the country,” SSP Memon assured.

Investigators also found that Sahir used courier services to purchase drugs, spending Rs 4-5 lakh weekly. He admitted that drug money was deposited into his father’s manager’s account and revealed, “I have been using weed for 13 years and worked as a model for five years.”

With these revelations exposing Karachi’s organized drug network, law enforcement is ramping up efforts to dismantle major operations.

March 2, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Sonakshi Sinha has opened up about her bond with her brothers.
Their no-show at Sonakshi’s wedding sparked rumors of a family rift.
She reflected on their childhood, admitting they often had fist fights.

Sonakshi Sinha has opened up about her bond with her brothers, Luv and Kush, amid speculation about their absence from her wedding to Zaheer Iqbal last year. Their no-show sparked rumors of a family rift, with many believing the brothers disapproved of the marriage.

In an interview with Hauterrfly, Sonakshi reflected on their childhood, admitting they often had “hathapai (fist fights).” She explained, “Main sabse choti, ghar ki ladki, sabse laadli, toh bhaiyonn ko jalan toh hoti thi toh mujhe padti thi (I was the youngest sibling, the most adored. So my brothers were jealous and would beat me up).”

Meanwhile, their father, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, addressed the matter in an interview with Retro Lehren. He refrained from discussing why his sons skipped the wedding but acknowledged their feelings. “I won’t complain. They are only humans. They maybe still not be so mature. I do understand their pain and confusion,” he said, adding, “Here is where your maturity, seniority, and experience comes in place.”

Luv later broke his silence on Instagram, dismissing speculation. “Running an online campaign against me on a false premise won’t change the fact that for me, my family will always come first,” he wrote.

Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in a civil ceremony at her Bandra residence on June 23, 2024, after seven years of dating.

Both have agreed to withdraw their respective cases against each other.

Kangana Ranaut and Javed Akhtar have officially settled their long-running legal battle, opting for an out-of-court resolution after five years. Both have agreed to withdraw their respective cases against each other.

Ranaut, now an elected member of parliament, shared the news on Instagram on Friday. “Today Javed Ji and I have resolved our legal matter (defamation case) through mediation. In the mediation, Javed Ji has been very kind and gracious, he also agreed to write songs for my next directorial,” she wrote alongside a picture of the two.

The dispute began in 2020 when Akhtar filed a defamation case against Ranaut over remarks she made in an interview following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Recalling a past meeting, she had said, “Once Javed Akhtar called me to his house and told me Rakesh Roshan and his family are very big people. If you don’t apologise to them, you will have nowhere to go… you will commit suicide. These were his words. He shouted and yelled at me. I was shaking in his house.”

Akhtar dismissed her claims in court, stating, “Whatever Kangana said in the interview is a lie and nothing but a lie.” Ranaut had also accused him of extortion and invading her privacy.

Who is the world’s richest actor in Hollywood? Dwayne Johnson or Ryan Reynolds

March 2, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Dwayne Johnson has reclaimed his spot as the world’s richest actor.
The actor earned an estimated $88 million in 2024.
Among female actors, only three made it to the top 20.

Dwayne Johnson has reclaimed his spot as the world’s richest actor, topping Forbes‘ list after four years. The actor earned an estimated $88 million in 2024, surpassing stars like Ryan Reynolds and Jerry Seinfeld. His earnings came from major deals for Red One, Moana 2, and royalties from past projects. According to an industry agent quoted in the report, it was “an ungodly amount of money.”

The report highlights that most of these earnings were made outside traditional box office releases. In 2024, six of the top ten films were animated, a category where actors typically don’t earn as much.

Among female actors, only three made it to the top 20: Nicole Kidman (Babygirl, A Family Affair), Mariska Hargitay, and Scarlett Johansson—the youngest on the list at 40. Despite his stellar year, Timothée Chalamet did not make the cut, as his deals were locked in before his 2024 hits.

Streaming also played a huge role in star earnings. Brad Pitt and George Clooney reportedly earned $35 million each for Wolfs. Up next, Johnson will star in a Martin Scorsese film alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt, as well as The Smashing Machine, a biopic directed by Benny Safdie.

Mika Singh shares his disappointing experience of working with Bipasha Basu

March 2, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Mika Singh shared his disappointing experience of working with Bipasha Basu.
Mika was the producer of Dangerous, which starred Bipasha.
He revealed that her alleged tantrums made the experience difficult.

Singer Mika Singh recently shared his disappointing experience of working with actress Bipasha Basu on the crime thriller Dangerous, which was released in 2020. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Mika, who turned producer for the project, revealed that Bipasha’s alleged tantrums made the experience difficult and claimed that her attitude is the reason she is out of work today.

“Why do you think they’re out of work now? God is watching everything,” Mika said, recalling the challenges he faced. He initially planned a low-budget film of around ₹4 crore to showcase his music but faced unexpected complications.

At the time, Mika could not afford Vikram Bhatt as a director, so he brought him on board as a writer and hired Bhushan Patel to direct. However, the project changed when Bipasha insisted on joining. “I was considering another actress, but she wanted to be a part of it. The shoot was set in London, and the budget increased from ₹4 crore to ₹14 crore,” Mika explained.

He further alleged, “Suddenly, she was throwing tantrums, saying she won’t do this or she won’t do that, etc.”

Bipasha and Karan Singh Grover met while filming Alone in 2015, married in 2016, and welcomed their daughter in 2022.

Documentary on tragic death of Matthew Perry reveals shocking details

February 27, 2025 by Areej Afzal

A documentary on the death of Matthew Perry revealed unknown details.
It reveals that he received 27 doses of ketamine in the last three days.
Perry’s ketamine treatments were handled irresponsibly.

A new documentary, Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the Friends star’s tragic death on October 28, 2023. The documentary, streaming on Peacock, reveals that Perry received 27 doses of ketamine in the last three days of his life, ultimately leading to an accidental overdose.

According to Martin Estrada, former U.S. Attorney for California’s Central District, Perry’s ketamine treatments were handled irresponsibly. “Allegedly, you have Dr. [Salvador] Plasencia providing ketamine to a live-in assistant who has no medical training whatsoever, and that live-in assistant is administering ketamine to a person whose risk factors are through the roof.” (Via PEOPLE).

Despite multiple warning signs, Dr. Plasencia allegedly continued supplying ketamine, even administering it in unauthorized locations, including a car in a Long Beach parking lot. Prosecutors claim that as Perry’s health deteriorated, Plasencia distanced himself, leaving the administration of ketamine to Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who reportedly received supplies from Jasveen Sangha, known as “The Ketamine Queen.”

On October 28, Perry reportedly requested another dose, allegedly telling Iwamasa to “give me a big one” before preparing his hot tub. When Iwamasa returned, he found Perry unresponsive.

Five individuals face charges, including Dr. Plasencia, Sangha, and Iwamasa. While three have pleaded guilty, Plasencia denies wrongdoing, claiming he was unaware of Perry’s other sources of ketamine.

“We’ll be doing a prequel to Jim before he goes bitter,” said Abraham.

Bollywood’s action-packed blockbuster Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, was one of the biggest hits of 2023. Now, John has hinted at a potential prequel focusing on his character, Jim, though he did not confirm a sequel to the film.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, John shared his thoughts on Pathaan and his collaborations with producer Aditya Chopra. “[Pathaan] was really, really cool and special. Adi (Aditya Chopra) and me, we did Dhoom, Kabul Express, New York and then Pathaan. I think he (Adi) gets me right, and hopefully, we’ll be doing a prequel to Jim before he goes bitter. So that should be happening.”

Earlier, director Siddharth Anand had also acknowledged the potential for a prequel. Speaking to Pinkvilla, he said, “It should be, but it’s too early to talk about anything. I feel Jim’s character does warrant a prequel.”

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Pathaan was a massive box office success, grossing ₹634 crore worldwide in just seven days.

John was last seen in Vedaa and is now preparing for The Diplomat, based on Indian diplomat JP Singh, set to release on March 14, during Holi.

John urged actors to be more responsible.

Bollywood actor John Abraham has strongly criticized his fellow actors for their exorbitant fees and rising entourage costs, calling it detrimental to Hindi cinema. In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, John addressed the ongoing issue of actors charging massive amounts.

When asked about “heroes asking for INR 100 crore per day and their stylists demanding INR 2 lakh per day,” John termed it “mental.” He further explained, “It’s already hurting Hindi cinema. At this point in time, we shouldn’t be paying people to act in films because we don’t justify those huge budgets, the huge fees that we get paid. We can’t load a film with entourage costs as well. It’s ridiculous.”

John questioned whether actors themselves or their agents were behind this trend, adding, “I understand you are put in a bubble, but you can’t be so daft. You need to get out and see the real world. If people are blowing sunshine from your backside, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.”

He urged actors to be more responsible, saying, “Actors should admit that we are down the deep black hole… How much more will you suck the system dry?”

John will next be seen in The Diplomat, an action thriller set for release on March 15.

A TikToker named Destinee has gone viral for her unconventional lifestyle choice—opting to be homeless rather than paying high rent. With thousands of followers, she revealed that she was tired of spending $2,000 on rent and other bills, leading her to make a drastic change.

Initially, Destinee moved into her car, but when it became unsuitable for living, she approached her employer and began sleeping at work. In a video, she showed her small sleeping area, which includes a recliner, a lamp, a wash basin, and a mini fridge.

To maintain hygiene, she showers at a gym where she pays a $20 monthly membership. She also rents a $75 storage unit for her belongings. “When I tell people I am homeless, they think I dig in dumpsters to get food, but that’s not true. I chose to be homeless because I was tired of paying bills. Now I live rent-free and eat ribs,” she said, showing her meal.

Destinee actively socializes and dates but doesn’t reveal her situation until the third date. “I’m homeless by choice and unlike you, I don’t have any rent to pay,” she stated.

Her story has divided the internet. “I’m not mad at her, but I am mad that rent is so high that people have to come up with creative ways just to have affordable shelter. This country is so stressful,” one user commented. Another remarked, “Hair done, nails done, AirPods, and phone to record content! Homeless looks different in 2025.”
