In 2018, the popular actress Kazi Nawshaba Ahmed was arrested for posting an anti-government post surrounding the Shahbag movement. At that time, her arrest and the events that happened to her were very popular.
A rising star's career declines, at least everyone has seen it with their own eyes. But no one knows what happened to her personal life, social life, or even mental-physical condition. Because this actress didn't even say anything about it.
Nawshaba has returned from jail and tried to express herself again. But she spent years carrying a heavy burden inside, not being able to tell anyone about the deep wound that had formed in her heart in 2018. But now situations have changed. Maybe that's why Nawshaba could dare to say the unspoken words.

Information about fire incident at Rahul's house
Sheikh Hasina left the country after resigning from the post of Prime Minister on August 5 in the face of the mass uprising of students. After the fall of the government, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's house at Dhanmondi 32 was set on fire. At the same time, the rented house of Rahul Ananda, the singer of Joler Gaan Band, was also burnt.

Has Hardik Pandya moved on from Natasa Stankovic after separation?
Hardik Pandya's year thus far has been dotted with incredibly high highs and equally low lows. Case in point is his smashing performance which was seminal in leading India to a T20 World Cup victory, shrouded by speculations and eventual confirmation of his split from wife of 4 years, Natasa Stankovic.
Shortly before the official announcement, Hardik was seen attending all the Ambani wedding festivities, solo. His days of gloom, however, seem to be over. Has he found love again? The internet surely thinks so.
What started the rumor?
For context, Hardik is currently vacationing in Mykonos, Greece. Also present there, is singer Jasmin Walia. While this in itself doesn't mean much, internet sleuths have sniffed out that Hardik and Jasmin may just be vacationing together.
Jasmin has Indian roots
Jasmin does have Indian roots though she is entirely UK-bred. Born in Essex, England, Jasmin's first dabble with fame came with her stint in the British reality television show The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010. Within 2 years she was promoted from being an extra to a full-time cast member. She used her time in the spotlight to establish herself as an internet personality, something which eventually boosted her pursuits in music.
April 2016 marked the release of her first official single, Dum Dee Dee Dum. This was followed by her second and third singles Girl Like Me and Temple. Next came Get Down, followed by her breakout track, Bom Diggy. Incidentally, Jasmin has collaborated with Zac across all her singles. Also part of her lineup is the Asim Riaz song Nights n Fights.
Besides her music career, Jasmin also has some experience in theatre. In 2020, she became the first British Indian female singer to be featured on the Times Square Billboard for her single Want Some.
Jasmin isn't the first woman Hardik has been linked with
The Ambani wedding bash saw several celebrities let their hair down, decked out in their finest. Hardik for one, consistently made headlines for very evidently being the life of the party. Matching him step for step — literally — was Ananya Panday.
This clip is from Anant Ambani's info, where the two can be seen having a gala time. Their chemistry had the internet losing their minds speculating if something was brewing between them. Neither has addressed the rumors publicly.
