Hussain Rehar becomes the first Pakistani designer to appear on the #Cannes2026 red carpet, wearing a classic sherwani crafted in handwoven tissue silk, paired with an emerald-green amulet accessory. Classy.

A woman member of Pakistan’s parliament was asked what were the security threats that led to an increase in the Defence budget. Pls note her response. 🤣👍🏽👏🏽

I had no idea about Chinese trolling style until recently. Here they are making fun of India’s planes getting shot down by Pakistan. 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

#videooftheday 🤣❤️👏🏽 The bride is too cool.

So Mindy from Illionis, U.S. met Sajid from Pakistan on Facebook, fell in love and travelled to Pakistan and got married!❤️ A happy story compared to the case of Onijah, who came to Pakistan in 2024 to marry her 19-year-old online BF. The boy’s family blocked their marriage. 💔

A viewer asked Najam Sethi about Pakistan bashing by Indians. NS nailed it!

What sort of a victory speech is this Nawaz Sharif saheb? Your party has evidently lost the election. Accept defeat gracefully and let the PTI backed independents — a larger bloc in National Assembly — form the government. People’s mandate despite all manipulation is clear.

Pakistan’s largest private TV channel GEO was hacked. Anti military messages were visible on the screens.

For a change, this was a lovely AI generated video to watch #23rdMarch ❤️❤️ #PakistanDay (Great job Reelwind — just found you on X)

کچھ دیر پہلے میرے شوہر جبران ناصر کو پندرہ کے قریب مسلح لوگ اٹھا کر لے گئے ہیں، اہلیہ منشا پاشا What the hell! Why #releasejibrannasir

CNN reports on #Basant2026 and how #BasantReturnsInPunjab with a bang!

Really encouraging remarks by India’s RSS Secy Gen on Pakistan. People to people contacts, dialogue, visas and the role of civil society in forging peace. Let’s see if Indian government follows the advice of the ideological force behind their power.

Totally swooned by this Pakistan Idol performance—pure talent and creativity on full display. Congrats to everyone who brought the show back to life! Mehdi saheb would be proud of this young man. Ranjish hi sahii dil hi dukhane ke liye aa

The revival of Lahore’s #Basant is a milestone. An entire generation was robbed of this cultural marker. Hope LEAs agencies are vigilant &amp; human lives are protected. But I am sad I won’t be there to witness and participate in Basant festivities. This video made my day. ❤️❤️👇🏽

On the hullabaloo over Sky News interview: Mosharraf Zaidi 🇵🇰 as govt representative was asked tough questions;was prepared and handled them as a spox should. Such as the job is,he did it well. Berating MZ is pointless. And please this wasn’t a duel, they were polite to each other!

Shakespeare — and Sir Ian McKellen in our own time — remind us that decency, kindness and civilised conduct are not quaint ideals; they are moral necessities in an increasingly brutal and angry world.

"We lost 3 Rafales, 1 Sukhoi 30 MKI, 1 Mig 29, all shot down in our own territory." - Kerala Congress MP K Francis George in Indian parliament today. #OMG

Jinnah's inimitable style and how it evolved with time۔

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif: President #Trump has shown beyond any doubt that he "is a man for peace, he is a man for promoting peace and beneficial business deals."
