After listening to Shahid, both of them get out to find a good story. Ashraf thinks it would not be bad to have a travel for a little while, at the same time good story might be found. Ashraf cannot imagine that the story he is about to find is the story of Shahid's own life.

AI model earning up to €10,000 a month
Aitana, 25, a pink-haired woman from Barcelona, receives weekly private messages from celebrities asking her out. But this model is not real.
Aitana, the first model created by artificial intelligence (AI) in Spain, was born in the middle of a difficult period.
Rubén Cruz, her designer and founder of the agency The Clueless, was going through a rough patch because he didn't have many clients.
"We started analysing how we were working and realised that many projects were being put on hold or cancelled due to problems beyond our control. Often it was the fault of the influencer or model and not due to design issues," Cruz told Euronews.
So, they decided to create their own influencer to use as a model for the brands that approached them.
They created Aitana, an exuberant 25-year-old pink-haired woman from Barcelona whose physical appearance is close to perfection.
The virtual model can earn up to €10,000 a month, according to her creators, but the average is usually around €3,000.
"We did it so that we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos, who have manias, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing," said Cruz.
Aitana's income is quite varied.
She earns just over €1,000 per advert, and has recently become the face of Big, a sports supplement company, and as if that weren't enough, she uploads photos of herself in lingerie to Fanvue, a platform similar to OnlyFans.
In just a few months, she has managed to gain more than 121,000 followers on Instagram and her photos get thousands of views and reactions. She even receives private messages from celebrities who are unaware that she is not an actual person.
"One day, a well-known Latin American actor texted to ask her out. This actor has about 5 million followers and some of our team watched his TV series when they were kids," said Cruz.
"He had no idea Aitana didn't exist," he added.

'Mission Impossible 8': Tom Cruise goes on the run in London
Tom Cruise is back on set as Ethan Hunt and if first pictures from the set are any indication, there will be action plus a little bit of blood.
Tom Cruise has started the shoot for the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise. A fan page of the actor on X shared a bunch of pictures and a video of Tom sprinting through the streets of London, with production underway.
Tom Cruise shoots for Mission Impossible
In the first picture, Tom is seen running in order to shoot a chase scene on the Westminster Bridge. He was dressed in a white shirt paired with a black coat. There was blood all over his shirt as he ran through the street. A second picture showed Tom smiling and talking with some of the crew in between the shots. Another still indicated a heavy military presence at the location with several armed forces standing by the iconic landmark in London.
Meanwhile, the only video from shoot had Tom getting ready for the shot. With the clap, he is seen running fast towards the other side of the road. The film releases in 2025 now, as the release date was pushed for a year owing to the delay with the SAG-AFTRA strike.
More details
In what marks the eighth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Tom will be seen as Senior Field Agent Ethan Hunt. Part One was directed by Christopher McQuarrie and produced by Paramount Pictures. It also starred Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Simon Pegg among others.
Part One released in July last year and faced stiff competition from Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig's Barbie. Still, it managed to cross the $500 million mark at the global box office.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film added, “Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One could very possibly be the best offering of the season with its insane action and a beating heart. Not only does this seventh film in the hit franchise perfectly fit the Hollywood blockbuster template but also improves on it, gilds it to almost undeniable perfection.”

Hijacked ship runs out of food, hope for quick negotiation
The Bangladeshi ship MV Abdullah, which was hijacked by Somali pirates, is running out of food. However, the hostage have nothing to worry even if the food is reduced. Because the pirates from the shore are bringing food to the ship.
The Bangladesh Merchant Marine Officers Association, an organization of ship's owners and sailors, said this on Wednesday (March 27).
Mizanul Islam, media consultant of KSRM Group, told the media that the hostage sailors are healthy. There is nothing to worry about. Because the pirates are bringing food from the shore to the ship. The pirates usually bring food to the hijacked ship in their own interest.
Captain Anam Chowdhury, president of Bangladesh Merchant Marine Officers' Association, said the pirates bring food for their own interests. I have also received reports of Tehari-like foods being brought on board MV Abdullah.
Oscar-winning Oppenheimer finally premieres in Japan
Highly acclaimed movie Oppenheimer has gone on show in Japanese movie theaters, many months after its release elsewhere. The story of the architect of the atomic bomb is particularly sensitive in the country.
"Oppenheimer," the winner of the Oscars Best Picture award, was finally shown in Japanese cinemas on Friday, where the subject of the creation of the atomic bomb remains a highly charged and emotional subject.
Director Christopher Nolan's blockbuster hit the big screens in the United States and other countries in July at the same time as "Barbie" — prompting a viral phenomenon dubbed "Barbenheimer" by movie buffs.
But while the famous doll's movie premiered in Japan in August, "Oppenheimer" has been conspicuously absent from the country's cinemas for months.
Why was the release date so late?
No official explanation was offered, fueling speculation that the film was too controversial to be shown in Japan, the only country to fall victim to the bomb conceived by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Some 140,000 people died in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki when the United States dropped atomic bombs on the cities in 1945, days before the end of World War II.
In a huge cinema in central Tokyo where Christopher Nolan's film was being screened on Friday, there was no trace of the usual promotional posters for such a global phenomenon.
The movie, which had a budget of 100 million dollars, but grossed almost a billion at the box office, was advertised with only a small poster.
The story of physicist Robert Oppenheimer garnered rave reviews and a multitude of awards, winning the most at the Oscars with seven statuettes.
The accolades included best film, best director and best actor for Cillian Murphy, who played Oppenheimer.
How was the film received in Japan?
In Hiroshima, the city devastated by the first nuclear bomb, the movie's success generated mixed feelings.
The city has been reborn into a vibrant metropolis of 1.2 million people, but the ruins of a domed building remain standing as a stark reminder of the horror.
Kyoko Heya, president of Hiroshima's international film festival, told the AFP news agency after the Oscars ceremony that she found Nolan's film "very American-centric."
"Is this really a movie that the people of Hiroshima can endure?" she said. However, upon reflection, Heya said she wants "a lot of people to see the movie."
"I would like to see Hiroshima, Nagasaki and atomic weapons become topics of discussion thanks to this film," she said.
In Japanese media, critics point out that the film does not show the damage caused by those bombs.

For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person.

Salman Khan-Karan Johar’s ‘The Bull’ not shelved
Karan Johar's film with Salman Khan, 'The Bull', is set to start production in 2025 after rumors of it being shelved. It is based on the events of Operation Cactus.
Karan Johar’s film with Salman Khan, titled ‘The Bull’ is all set to go on floors in 2025. Rumours had been doing the rounds that the film has been shelved. However, IndiaToday.In exclusively learnt that the film has not been shelved, and the writing is currently underway.
Sources told India Today that ‘The Bull’ will most likely go on floors in 2025. The film has gone back to the writing room and the script is being worked up, which is why there is a delay. Earlier, it was supposed to go on floors this year and it was eyeing Eid 2025 release.
‘The Bull’ is based on the events of Operation Cactus, on November 3, 1988, where the Indian forces helped the Maldives government in regaining control after a coup attempt. Given the current status between India and Maldives, the film is being sensitised to political equations and written with a fresh perspective.
Earlier, reports started circulating that ‘The Bull’ had hit the roadblock because Karan Johar and director Vishuvardhan were unable to commit a date for the film.
‘The Bull’ will mark Salman Khan and Karan Johar’s reunion after 25 years. It will be directed by Vishnuvardhan, who had earlier directed Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani-starrer ‘Shershaah’.

Taylor Swift joins world's richest on billionaire list
Taylor Swift has joined Elon Musk as ranking among the world's wealthiest people, according to a new rich list.
The American pop star entered the Forbes World's Billionaires List for the first time with $1.1bn (£877m), along with Sam Altman, creator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT on $1bn (£800m).
LVMH French luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and his family topped the chart with an estimated $233bn (£185bn).
Forbes said there were a record 2,781 billionaires for 2024.
The figure is 141 more than last year and 26 more than the previous record set in 2021. Forbes added the elite were richer than ever - with a collective wealth of $14.2tn (£11.3tn).
Singer-songwriter Swift entered the rich list after achieving megastar status. She stole the show at this year's Grammy Awards, becoming the first performer to win the prize for album of the year four times.
Her album 1989 (Taylor's Version) was also the best-selling vinyl LP of last year.
Swift's success is not just confined to the world of music. Her mere presence at American football games to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce has been credited with raising NFL viewing figures.
After Frenchman Mr Arnault and his family, Mr Musk, the owner of Tesla and X, formerly Twitter, is listed second, with an estimated net worth of $195bn (£155bn).
He is followed in third by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos.
Musk's riches are up 8% from last year but down on his net worth in November 2021, when he became the first person ever to be worth $300bn (£239bn).
Also joining Forbes's list is basketball legend Magic Johnson with wealth of $1.2bn (£950m) and TV producer Dick Wolf, behind the US Law and Order and Chicago PD series, also on $1.2bn.
Chase Peterson-Withorn, senior editor on wealth for Forbes, said it had been an "amazing" year for the world's richest people.
"A record-breaking 14 centi-billionaires have 12-figure fortunes. Even during times of financial uncertainty for many, the super-rich continue to thrive," he added.
The $100bn Club
Forbes said the class of billionaires for 2024 were 255% richer than a decade ago, now worth $2tn (£1.59tn) in all, meaning just 0.5% of the world's 2,781 billionaires hold 14% of all billionaire wealth.
Geographically, the US still has more billionaires than any other country, with a record 813 on the list. China remains second, followed by India.
In the UK, hedge fund manager Michael Platt is the richest person, followed by part-owner of Manchester United Sir Jim Ratcliffe and inventor Sir James Dyson.
