Sajal Ali posts photos with niece, says 'she got my eyes'
The actor posted photos with her niece, the daughter of her sister Saboor Ali, and cheekily wrote in the caption: "She got my eyes." Honestly, the resemblance might be kind of uncanny.
As expected, the post didn't go unnoticed. Maya Ali dropped in with some love, and the comments section quickly turned into a fan fest, overflowing with heart emojis and sweet compliments.
It's rare to see such wholesome content in a scroll full of filters and edits—but Sajal's soft auntie vibes clearly hit a nerve in the best way.
Last month, Saboor Ali and Ali Ansari were blessed with a daughter. Announcing the happy news on Instagram, Saboor wrote, "Our tiny miracle, our biggest blessing. The sight of the smallest of hands leaving the biggest of impact is unbelievable. Welcome Serena Ali to the world. The magic awaits you."
The heartfelt note was attached to a black-and-white carousel of Saboor in the hospital bed and Ali standing by her side as they held their little one up. The post also featured the newborn baby's tiny feet and hands enveloped in her parents' hands.
Peers and fans congratulated the couple on the arrival of their little girl. "Masha Allah, Masha Allah. Many, many congratulations! Wishing your little princess a lifetime of love and happiness," wrote Maya Ali, while Ali Rehman said, "Congratulations, guys! Wonderful news. May Allah fill your lives with joy." Meanwhile, Serena's star aunt - Sajal Ali - wrote, "Welcome to the world little princess! We love you more than words can say."
Fans, on the other hand, expressed pleasant surprise at the news. "What a big surprise to your fans! Masha Allah, congratulations! May Allah keep her safe and bring her good luck," a user wrote.
Fans' sentiments stem from the fact that Saboor and Ali made no official announcement of the pregnancy prior to the post, though a clip from the godh bharai ceremony did circulate on social media in January. Speculation heightened after Saboor posted photos from her birthday celebration.

5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford, along with his wife Crystal Leigh, have announced they are expecting their second child, expanding their family to four. The surprise was shared via a joint Instagram post captioned 'Table for 4 please', accompanied by photos of the couple with their young daughter Lua and colorful belly stickers spelling out 'BABY.' Clifford and Leigh married in a private ceremony on January 11, 2021, and welcomed their first child, Lua Stevie, on October 30, 2023, in Georgia.

Elon Musk teases AI-powered Vine reviving buzz about defunct short-form video platform
Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine, his time, 'in AI form.' The brief eight-word post on X set off waves of speculation about what that could mean for the long-defunct six-second video app. Originally launched in 2013 and shut down in 2017, Vine was once a viral hit before losing ground to competitors like Instagram and Snapchat. Musk's statement came without further detail, leaving followers to guess whether an AI-enhanced Vine could mean algorithmically generated content, automated editing tools, or synthetic creators. What's clear is that interest in the platform hasn't faded. His post quickly generated thousands of interactions and even affected the price of Vine-themed memecoins. This isn't the first time Musk has raised hopes for a Vine revival. In 2022, shortly after acquiring Twitter (now X), he ran a poll asking users if they wanted the app back, most responded with a resounding yes. Axios later reported that his team was actively exploring a reboot. The original Vine was acquired by Twitter in 2012 before being shut down in early 2017 during a platform restructure. Vine's co-founder Rus Yusupov reflected in 2022, 'We didn't build the right features in time' and 'didn't help creators monetise.' Still, no official timeline or product details have been confirmed by X. Whether this is a full relaunch or another idea from Musk that may or may not materialise remains to be seen.

Sajal Ali applauds ‘Pakkay Dost' for making Urdu fun for kids
Singer-songwriter Bilal Maqsood released a second volume of nursery rhymes from children's puppet show Pakkay Dost on YouTube on Tuesday. The first volume came out in 2023 and the show's vibrant visuals and engaging narratives garnered widespread acclaim, fostering a love for Urdu and enriching the lives of countless young viewers. Actor Sajal Ali lauded Maqsood's work on social media, penning, 'Bilal Maqsood, you are doing a great job!' She appreciated the show's reignition of Urdu language amongst the youth, 'Urdu is a beautiful language and it's high time we stop running away from it.' The actor reminded us that it's cool to embrace our mother tongue, 'It was always cool! Let's own it, celebrate it and make it even cooler!' On Wednesday, Maqsood took to Instagram to promote the new episodes, 'I make Pakkay Dost for kids. I have always longed to make quality content for children and have finally gotten the opportunity to do it after Strings ended. I believe the entertainment industry has stopped focusing on children since the last two decades." Being a father himself, the singer observed, 'Our kids are being raised on foreign content, which is out of our control. We cannot limit their screen time but the least we can do is to introduce them to shows that teach them good values, are safe and keep them connected to their culture and language.' Expressing why he chose Urdu, Maqsood stated 'I made Pakkay Dost because I wanted to make Urdu cool. Kids and parents often run away from Urdu and I wanted to change that. I want to request all parents and teachers to make sure that kids around them watch Pakkay Dost.' The show has been captivating young minds with playful storytelling and colourful visuals, fostering a love for the Urdu language while imparting valuable life lessons. This makes it an enjoyable experience for children and a meaningful one for parents who want to instill cultural and linguistic pride in their children. Each episode offers laughter, lessons, and an opportunity for children to connect with their roots. The show has garnered acclaim from parents and educators alike. In January, Maqsood announced partnership with ConnectHear to make Pakkay Dost accessible to the hearing-impaired community through the integration of sign language interpretation. "We are very excited to partner with ConnectHear," said Maqsood. "Our mission is to bring joy, learning and cultural enrichment and create a brighter childhood for all children. This collaboration is a significant step towards making Pakkay Dost truly inclusive and ensuring that every child can experience the magic of our show." "At ConnectHear, we believe in creating a world where no one is left behind," said Arhum Ishtiaq, CTO and Co-Founder, ConnectHear. "This alliance with Pakkay Dost allows us to bridge the gap in children's entertainment and education for the Deaf community. We're not just adding sign language to the show, we're adding joy, imagination, and inclusion to every deaf child's life.' Have something to add to the story? Share it in the comments below.
