Pakistani Journalists Hurl Abuses At Each Other In London Cafe, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Safina, in a post on X, also claimed that supporters of Imran Khan's party have been harassing her and even attempted to carry out an acid attack against her. Two Pakistani journalists got into a heated argument while covering an event at a London cafe. A video of journalists Safina Khan and Asad Ali Malik shows them hurling abuses at each other as others try to cool down the matter. Reportedly, the incident took place during a press conference of Salman Akram Raja, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General and a close aide of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan. Safina too shared the video from her X handle and claimed she was not only cornered by ARY News channel's reporter Fareed and Hum News journalist Rafeeq during the event, but they also started talking while she was asking questions. She also held these journalists responsible if anything happened to her. 'I heard someone's mother being abused, not for myself. There was no such thing as honour among these shameless men. The one who abused the mother of Senator Journalist Azhar Javed from Youth was being slapped while sitting down. When I could not tolerate the abuse of Azhar Javed's mother, how could I remain silent after hearing the abuse of my own mother?" she posted in Urdu. Meanwhile, Asad Malik, who works for a UK-based outlet, refuted all claims made by her and called the allegations 'baseless". 'These are false and baseless allegations, consistent with her pattern of past behaviour. The facts are clear and supported by multiple eyewitnesses," he said in an X post. Safina, in a post on X, also claimed that supporters of Imran Khan's party have been harassing her and even attempted to carry out an acid attack against her. 'An acid attack was even carried out, but I was neither afraid then nor will I be afraid now. If a man gets up and abuses me or my mother, I will abuse him twice as much as the women in his house," she wrote. She also posted a video originally shared by an account named 'Pakistani," accusing ARY reporter Farid Qureshi of editing the clip and uploading it through one of his fake accounts.

Serena Williams Made Dinara Safina Feel Hopeless Before Before Matches
Former world No. 1 Dinara Safina recently opened up about the towering challenge of facing Serena Williams during her career, offering a candid glimpse into the mental hurdles she faced against the tennis icon. Despite her own success and reputation as one of the grittiest competitors on the tour, Safina admitted that when it came to Serena, she often felt overpowered before even stepping onto the court. Safina dove into how, mentally strengthening oneself can help players beat the toughest opponents- well almost. "Except Serena. It's true," Safina said honestly, during a chat at the Madrid Open. "Serena and Venus — for me, at least on clay courts, I could make them play because it was slower and easier for me. But on hard courts, honestly, I knew I had no chance," she added. "Specially against Serena, I knew whatever I do she does it better." Advertisement The speed and explosiveness of hard courts seemed to magnify Serena's already overwhelming game, leaving Safina struggling to find solutions. "It was impossible to change that mentally," she admitted, highlighting how deeply Serena's dominance was ingrained in her mind. Dinara Safina (RUS) returns a shot against Amelie Mauresmo on Jun 29, 2009; London© Offside Sports-Imagn Images Safina, known for her sharp ability to read serves, also noted how even her strengths were neutralized by Williams. "Specially, I like reading serves, but with her, I had no chance," she said. Serena's incredible serve — considered one of the greatest weapons in tennis history — left little room for Safina to execute her usual strategies. Still, Safina didn't allow the daunting task to paralyze her completely. She revealed that her response was to channel her energy into hard work. "I knew that I worked harder, so I would use this to overcome my fears," she explained, showing the resilience and determination that made her a champion in her own right. Safina's honesty provides a rare, vulnerable look at what many players felt facing Serena — a mix of awe, respect, helplessness and fear. It also underscores the mental battles elite athletes fight behind the scenes, even at the very top of the game.
