Aap Ki Izzat is a newly released Pakistani drama serial that premiered on July 17, 2026, on HUM TV, broadcasting every Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM. Written by the highly acclaimed Umera Ahmed and directed by Saife Hassan, the narrative centers on Tabish (Ahsan Khan) and Beena (Urwa Hocane), a couple whose marriage deteriorates as Tabish transitions from a struggling, loving husband into a wealthy, emotionally abusive partner heavily influenced by his toxic family. The plot beautifully contrasts bittersweet flashbacks of their early, humble days with a painful present reality where Tabish publicly humiliates and neglects Beena, prompting intense social media discourse regarding marital loyalty, maternal interference, and the essential role of respect over financial wealth. Produced by Momina Duraid and Nina Kashif, the show features a powerful supporting cast including Sania Saeed and Saif Ali Khan, and is elevated by a soulful OST titled "Jab Tu Yaad Aaye" performed by Ali Zafar. Audiences can follow this intense emotional journey directly on HUM TV's official digital platforms, where the initial episodes have already generated significant praise for their raw performances and realistic execution.

Zoya Mahroosh Zulfiqar
A vintage black 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe with custom UK registration plates is cordoned off by red barriers during the outdoor street filming of The Batman Part II. Bruce Wayne’s classic civilian ride is back on the streets for director Matt Reeves' upcoming DC sequel. Newly leaked images from the London production set of The Batman Part II reveal a flawless, gloss-black 1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe parked behind red security barricades. This distinct vintage vehicle, sporting the Gotham registration plate XMC 867A, serves as the personal transportation of Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne. It mirrors the exact classic model he drove in the 2022 film during the city hall funeral sequence, emphasizing the character's preference for grounded, unbadged, "old money" muscle rather than ostentatious modern supercars.
