Video: Egg Thrown At Imran Khan's Sister Outside Pakistan Jail, 2 Arrested

In a horrible incident Aleema Khanum, sister of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, had an egg thrown at her outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

The hearing for the Toshakhana case had taken place earlier and she was addressing the press when the episode happened.

The video footage shows the egg hitting her chin and then falling on her clothes, a woman can be heard shouting, "Who the hell is this?" and "Kisne kiya yeh (Who did this)." Khanum, although shocked, reacted calmly saying, "Koi baat nahi, jaane do".

Strongly condemn the disgraceful act of throwing an egg at Aleema Khanum, sister of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. No political disagreement should ever justify such disrespect. Pakistan's politics need dialogue, not humiliation. #AleemaKhanum #StayStrongAleemaKhan pic.twitter.com/U5e2J1djPc

The video that was caught on camera is now being widely circulated on social media.

The police have arrested two women for hurling the egg at Khanum. According to the police, the women were Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters and the egg was thrown at her after she skipped a question posed to her by journalists.

Journalists had asked her questions regarding reporter Tayyab Baloch who was trolled after raising allegations against her on social media. He had asked Aleema questions regarding purchase of a property with donation funds. Baloch also claimed that the PTI team had started a campaign against him and that he also received a threat.

Journalists asked Aleema, "You did not answer the question; instead, Tayyab Baloch was threatened. Is asking a question a crime? Do you only respond to questions of your choice?"

PTI supporters have condemned the act. One user on X wrote, "...Such behavior is not only unethical but also unfortunate, as it turns political disagreements into insults and attacks. Differences of opinion are one thing, but civility and respect should never be abandoned.", another claimed, "This disgraceful act is by Asim Munir and the Noon League; these people are extremely afraid of Khan and his family."

Khan has been accused of unlawfully buying and selling gifts kept inside a government owned department called the Toshakhana, or treasure house. The Toshakhana houses gifts received by prime ministers, presidents, ministers, members of parliament and other government officials.

He was later sentenced to prison in August 2023 for three years for selling gift items worth more than 140 million Pakistani rupees ($500,000).

The Toshakhana case against Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi has been adjourned on Friday and the next hearing is scheduled for September 8.

Millionaire's Firm 'Review Bombed' After He Took Cap From Child At US Open

Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek and his company are at the receiving end of public ire after he was seen snatching a signed hat from a young fan at the US Open. Not long after the video of Mr Szczerek's act, described by many on social media as "embarrassing", went viral, his company, Drogbruk, was bombarded with negative reviews.

The clip shows Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak offering the cap he used during his match at the US Open to a young fan in the crowd. But Szczerek, standing next to the child, snatched it.

Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek's company review bombed after taking child's hat at @usopen. Users on Polish forums labelled him “embarrassing” and a “thief,” with Drogbruk's rating drop to 1.1 in trustpilot. He needs to pay the price for what he did. pic.twitter.com/ufGNDbYTHB

— Pengu Aaron | Network School | ∞ᛤ???? (@AaronTing8) August 31, 2025

Users on Polish forums called the CEO a "thief," while Drogbruk saw its Trustpilot rating fall sharply to 1.1 stars. Some even said that he and his company should be banned from joining the sports events or sponsoring anything related.

Even on Google, the company received just 1.2 stars from 592 reviews. One review read, "The CEO of this company doesn't have any morals; stealing from children and then defending himself in public. Don't ever do business with this company."

Another read, "Top-level management steal from children in broad daylight, then laugh about it. Definitely not someone to do business with under any circumstances (sic)."

Majchrzak described the incident as "some kind of confusion" to The New York Post, saying that he didn't immediately realise that Szczerek had taken the hat. He suggested that Szczerek's actions may have been impulsive, "in the moment of heat, in the moment of emotions."

Szczerek said he thought that the hat was meant for him, specifically for his sons, who had earlier asked Majchrzak for autographs. He said he didn't realise it was actually meant for the young boy. He said he apologised to the child and his family for taking the hat and then returned it, reported Forbes.

"I made a serious mistake. In the midst of the excitement and celebration, I believed the tennis player was handing his cap to me - for my sons, who had previously asked for autographs," he said.

Boney Kapoor Confirms Diljit Dosanjh's No Entry 2 Exit

The much-anticipated sequel to the 2005 blockbuster No Entry has hit a roadblock as actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh has stepped away from the project. The movie, directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Boney Kapoor, was set to roll in October 2025 with a new cast featuring Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor. 

What's Happening

• Confirming that Diljit Dosanjh is not a part of No Entry 2, Boney Kapoor told NDTV, "Yes, we have parted in good spirits as the dates were not aligning with our requirements, hopefully, we will soon do a Punjabi film together".
• Reports suggest that Diljit's packed schedule, particularly his Aura Tour across Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13, clashed with the film's shoot. The actor-singer is currently one of the busiest names in both music and cinema, balancing back-to-back projects with his international tours.

Background

At a recent event, Boney Kapoor admitted that not being able to bring back the original trio (Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan) remains a sore point. "Yeh humara loss hai that we could not retain the same star cast. We waited for almost 8 to 10 years but somehow things didn't happen. We will miss them. And now we are trying to give a fresh start with a younger lot of actors. But at the same time, we will miss Salman, we will miss Anil and Fardeen. They were the original three boys in No Entry. And they were most loved," he shared.

The original No Entry, which also featured Bipasha Basu, Esha Deol, Lara Dutta, and Celina Jaitly, completed 20 years on August 26. In 2024, Boney Kapoor and Bazmee officially announced the sequel with a younger star cast, promising a fresh spin on the comedy that became one of the biggest hits of 2005.

US Actor Says Leaving US Has Been 'Liberating': "America Is A S***show"

US actress Robin Wright recently described her decision to leave the United States for England as "liberating" in a candid interview with The Sunday Times. The 59-year-old star, known for roles in 'Forrest Gump', 'The Princess Bride', and 'House of Cards', has relocated to a rented seaside home in England with her boyfriend, British-Australian architect Henry Smith (52), and their two Labradors, Rusty and Rocky.

During the interview, Ms Wright expressed frustration with life in America, calling it a "s---show" characterised by constant "rush, competition, and speed." She contrasted this with her experiences in England, where she finds a "freedom of self" and appreciates the kindness of people who are "living" rather than stuck in traffic, stressed on phone calls, or multitasking meals.

"I love being in this country. People are so kind. They're living. They're not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, or eating a sandwich. That's most of America," she said.

Ms Wright's decision to move was partly driven by her dislike of the noise in Los Angeles. She said she craved a quieter life and expressed happiness about having found her ideal partner. "Everyone's building a huge house, and I'm just done with all that — I love the quiet. And I've met my person. Finally," she added. 

She also tied the move to a sense of personal closure as she approaches 60. "I'm turning 60 and I'm, like, 'Is this it?' I love being alone and I've done that many times. But I'm, like, 'I want to grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world," the Golden Globe winner said. 

Ms Wright mentioned enjoying the quiet of the English countryside, waking up to birds chirping instead of the noise of home renovations at her former oceanside Los Angeles property. While she still travels to Los Angeles for work, she plans to spend more time in England.

Ms Wright's move aligns with a trend of American celebrities relocating to the UK amid political and cultural shifts, particularly following Donald Trump's 2024 election victory. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi cited the election as a reason for staying in the Cotswolds after arriving just before voting day.

Robin Wright was previously married to actor Sean Penn from 1996 to 2010. They have two children together: Dylan, 34, and Hopper, 32. Ms Wright later married fashion executive Clement Giraudet in 2018, but they parted ways, filing for divorce in 2022 due to irreconcilable differences. Prior to that, she had a short-lived marriage to actor Dane Witherspoon from 1986 to 1988.
