Israel’s interception of Gaza flotilla draws global ire as Pakistan demands release of detained activists

  Pakistan and several other  countries  on Thursday condemned Israel’s “dastardly attack” on the  Global Sumud Flotilla  (GSF) after its forces intercepted the flotilla heading to break Israel’s siege of Gaza and deliver aid. Israeli forces  began intercepting  the flotilla’s latest bid to reach Gaza late last night, the fleet said. Israel has so far intercepted 39 boats with foreign activists on board to Gaza, leaving only one vessel still sailing towards the Palestinian enclave, the flotilla organisers said today. The 45-vessel flotilla, with activists and politicians including  Greta Thunberg  on board, left Spain last month to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, where the United Nations has warned of famine. Former Pakistani senator  Mushtaq Ahmad Khan  was also on board. Hours after Tel Aviv’s move drew global condemnation, Israeli foreign ministry posted on X that all on board the flotilla were safe would be “deported to Europe”...

Neelam Muneer Denies Rumours of Quitting Showbiz: "Acting is My Passion"

 



Neelam Muneer, a prominent figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, has officially addressed rumours about her potential departure from showbiz following her recent marriage. Known for her remarkable performances in hit television dramas such as *Dil Mom Ka Diya*, *Ahram-e-Junoon*, and *Mohabbat Dagh Ki Soorat*, Neelam has been a beloved star both on-screen and in commercials. Speculation about her quitting the industry began after she tied the knot with Muhammad Rashid, a businessman from Mianwali residing in Dubai. Fans and followers were concerned that her marriage might mark the end of her acting career.  


These rumours gained further momentum when her social media posts reflected a shift towards a more religious and private lifestyle. Many believed this was an indication of her stepping away from the limelight. However, Neelam was quick to set the record straight. Taking to Instagram, she shared a heartfelt message: “There have been countless rumours about me, so I thought it’s best to clear things up myself. Yes, I have gotten married, but I have not quit the entertainment industry. Acting is my passion, and one does not simply give up on their passion. May Allah bless you all.” This statement reassured her fans that her dedication to acting remains unwavering.  


The actress’s response also sheds light on the societal expectations often placed on women in the entertainment industry. It is a common assumption that marriage signals the end of an actress's career, with many believing that the roles of wife and actress cannot coexist. Neelam’s decision to address these rumours highlights the need to challenge such outdated notions. Her statement serves as a reminder that marriage should not dictate a woman’s professional choices, especially in a field driven by passion and creativity.  


Neelam Muneer is not the first actress to face such scrutiny. Many female stars in the showbiz world have had to combat similar assumptions, with some choosing to step back and focus on family life while others continue to pursue their careers. Neelam’s situation is a testament to the resilience of women who reject the idea that marriage automatically means retiring from their passions. Her fans have expressed their support, applauding her decision to continue acting despite the societal pressures.  


The actress's journey reflects how women in the entertainment industry are redefining traditional roles and expectations. By publicly addressing the rumours, Neelam has taken control of the narrative surrounding her career and marriage. Her declaration that acting is her passion resonates with her audience, who admire her for staying true to herself and her craft. This bold stance is a source of inspiration for other women balancing personal and professional commitments.  


With this chapter of her life just beginning, Neelam Muneer continues to prove that she is here to stay. Her fans can rest assured that her passion for acting remains as vibrant as ever. As she embarks on this new phase, both in her personal and professional life, audiences eagerly look forward to more stellar performances from the actress who has already made a significant mark in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
