Stories Of ‘Love, Sex Aur Dhokha' Amid Andy Byron Scandal: ‘Child With Maid, Affair As Wife Had Cancer'
When John Edwards first admitted to his affair, he claimed it happened while his wife, Elizabeth, was in cancer remission. A lighthearted moment turned into a full-blown public relations disaster for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron after a fun camera game revealed his alleged secret affair with his HR chief, Kristin Cabot. During Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Wednesday, frontman Chris Martin decided to spice up the crowd with the classic kiss cam game. As the camera panned across the thousands of fans in attendance, it suddenly landed on Byron, the married CEO of Astronomer and his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot. Shoaib Malik: In a Samaa TV podcast in January 2024, journalist Naeem Hanif revealed that Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed were involved in a three-year-long affair that began on a reality show set. Malik often requested Sana's presence during TV appearances, despite both being married at the time. Boom Boom song-famed Nazia Hassan married Karachi businessman Mirza Ishtiaq Baig in an arranged marriage in March 1995. The marriage was troubled, and she divorced him three months before her death. In a UK court, she accused Baig of abuse and poisoning and later revealed he refused to fund her cancer treatment. His past marriages were hidden from her family. The couple had a son, Arez, born in 1997. Her brother Zoheb later discussed her struggles. Karan Singh Grover: Karan Singh Grover has often made headlines more for his personal life than his work. His first marriage to Shraddha Nigam reportedly ended in just ten months due to an alleged affair with choreographer Nicole on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa sets. His second marriage to Jennifer Winget also reportedly ended after two years, following alleged infidelity involving his current wife, Bipasha Basu. Tiger Woods In late 2009, Tiger Woods' extramarital affairs became public, leading to a massive scandal and ultimately his divorce from Elin Nordegren. The revelation of his infidelity triggered the end of several lucrative endorsement deals and forced him to take a break from professional golf to address his issues. Brad Pitt Following their divorce, both Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston addressed the widespread cheating rumours. Brad Pitt has consistently denied any infidelity, maintaining that his relationship with Angelina Jolie began only after his marriage to Aniston had ended. Jude Law In 2005, Jude Law's affair with his children's nanny, Daisy Wright, was revealed while he was engaged to Sienna Miller. Wright shared details of their encounters in an interview and diary excerpts. Law apologised publicly for his actions. Miller ended the engagement, later describing the intense media scrutiny and heartbreak. The couple briefly reconciled but separated permanently in 2011. John Edwards In August 2008, former U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, a filmmaker hired for his 2008 campaign. The affair was first reported by the National Enquirer in December 2007 but initially received little mainstream media attention. The Enquirer claimed Hunter had given birth to Edwards' child, a claim he denied at the time but later confirmed, further damaging his political career and public image. When Edwards first admitted to his affair, he claimed it happened while his wife, Elizabeth, was in cancer remission. However, it was later revealed that he continued the affair even after the couple publicly announced her cancer had returned and was terminal, deepening public outrage over his actions. Bill Clinton The Clinton–Lewinsky scandal was a scandal involving Bill Clinton, the president of the United States and Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. Their relationship began in 1995, when Clinton was 49 years old and Lewinsky was 22 years old and lasted 18 months, ending in 1997. Rupert Sanders During the filming of Snow White and the Huntsman, director Rupert Sanders and actress Kristen Stewart were caught in a cheating scandal when intimate photos of the two surfaced in the tabloids, revealing they had been unfaithful to their respective partners. Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold had confessed to his wife Maria Shiver in a counselling session that he had an affair with their housekeeper Mildred Baena in 1996 that resulted in him fathering son Joseph Baena, now 27, who was born the following year.

The YouTube channels of former Pakistani cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Rashid Latif, and the Instagram accounts of actresses Saba Qamar and Mawra Hocane became inaccessible in India again on Thursday, days after they were restored. The lifting of the ban on these accounts had come nearly three months after the central government blocked several Pakistani social media accounts following the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

The YouTube channels of former Pakistani cricketers Shoaib Akhtar, Basit Ali, and Rashid Latif are again accessible in India, nearly three months after the central government blocked several Pakistani social media accounts following the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Soon after the April 22 attack that claimed 26 lives, the three channels had shown messages indicating their unavailability in India. The government had banned Pakistani artists across the media. On April 28, the government banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels–with about 63.08 million subscribers in total–for disseminating 'provocative content, false narratives and misinformation' against India, its Army and security agencies.

The Instagram accounts of other Pakistani celebs like Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan, and Atif Aslam, as well as the YouTube account of former cricketer Tanvir Ahmed remain banned. Hania Aamir is in the news for her casting in Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3.

Pak social media handles unblocked in India months after Pahalgam attack
Several Pakistani YouTube channels and Instagram accounts of Pakistani actors and celebrities have now started to reappear in India, nearly a month after blocking them for spreading misinformation and criticising India's Operation Sindoor. The channels that were blocked included major news channels like Dawn News, Samaa TV, ARY News, Bol News, Raftar, Geo News, Suno News, and The Pakistan Experience. Apart from these, the Centre also blocked several independent YouTube channels, including Wasay Habib, Arzoo Kazmi, Syed Muzammil Shah, cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, and journalists such as Irshad Bhatti, Asma Shirazi, Umar Cheema, and Muneeb Farooq. Instagram accounts of Hania Aamir, Mawrah Hocane, Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar, and others were also blocked for Indian users. The decision to block YouTube channels came after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists. The Instagram accounts of Mawrah Hocane, Abida Parveen, Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, and Danish Taimoor can now be viewed by Indian users. However, accounts of some actors such as Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Ali Zafar remain inaccessible. While there has been no official word from the government so far, speculations over the ban being lifted are now being raised. Some of the YouTube channels that are now once again available in India include those of Shoaib Akhtar, Arzoo Kazmi, and Asma Shirazi. However, Wasay Habib's channel is among those that are still blocked in India. Pahalgam attack and its aftermath After the Pahalgam terror attack, diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan were downgraded, with visas granted to Pakistani nationals under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) being revoked, thereby asking Pakistani nationals to leave India. A series of punitive measures were announced from both sides, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and the 1972 Simla Agreement, and the closure of the Kartarpur Corridor. Following these measures, the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and targeted terror launch pads at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours escalated and what followed was four days of cross-border drone and missile strikes, until an understanding was reached on May 10 to stop all firing and military actions.

Fact Check: Shahid Afridi Dead And Buried in Karachi? Viral Video Shows...
Last Updated: A video falsely claimed Shahid Afridi's death, but it was AI-generated. The former cricketer is alive and well. Shahid Afridi, arguably Pakistan's greatest-ever cricketer, was pronounced dead when a video circulating on social media channels falsely claimed his death and burial in Karachi. So, what exactly happened? Is Shahid Afridi Dead? A widely shared video on social media suggestively shows Shahid Afridi's death, featuring condolence messages from various individuals in Pakistan. The video features a news anchor appearing to break the news with an image of a road and an ambulance in the background. Watch Video Here: Shahid Afridi Controversy Shahid Afridi had courted controversy during the rising military hostilities between India and Pakistan. 'Even if a cracker bursts in India, they blame it on Pakistan. You have an 8 lakh-strong army in Kashmir, yet this happened. This means you are useless, not being able to provide security to people," Afridi had said on Pakistani news channel Samaa TV. 'India is 10 years behind Pakistan and dreams of defeating us and being our equal. Pakistan is the fastest-growing country in the world with the most advanced technology. Even calling India our enemy is an insult to Pakistan," Afridi had recently said. Shahid Afridi Record Afridi retired from international cricket in 2017. Throughout his career, he represented Pakistan across all three formats, accumulating over 11,000 runs and claiming 541 wickets. He also holds the record for the most sixes in one-day international history, with 351. First Published: June 08, 2025, 15:48 IST
