NadiaKhar, a social media influencer popular on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, is known for her fashion content, often showcasing luxury cars, vlogs, and short videos. Recently, a video she posted online has gone viral, showing her walking a tiger in Dubai. In the video, Nadia claims that the tiger is her pet, captioning it with, "Taking my pet tiger for a walk in Dubai is different." This post has garnered significant attention across social media platforms.

Dubai has seen a rise in the ownership of exotic animals as pets. This includes large predators like tigers, lions, and bears, along with more traditional choices like monkeys and giraffes. These animals are kept in private zoos within residences.

Nadia Khar, a popular Instagram influencer, recently caused a stir on social media with a video featuring her strolling alongside her pet tiger. The video quickly went viral, capturing the attention of many users who were surprised and intrigued by the unusual sight of Khar and her majestic feline companion out for a walk.

In the video, the scene unfolds to reveal Khar is standing in a vast open space with a tiger restrained by a chain around its neck. The captivating footage captures Khar and the tiger strolling together in close proximity. (Also Read: Man scratches tiger's ears, big cat loves it. Watch)

Earlier, a video showcasing a pet tiger chasing its human caught the attention of many on social media. The "Billionaire Life Style" Instagram page posted the video. A pet tiger is shown in the beginning of the video chasing a man inside a UAE home. The man is overtaken by the tiger as the video goes on. The man then falters on the ground while attempting to run. He stands up and runs once more.

This surrealist sance takes the form of a performative video woven together with other digital media. Khar va Attar explores the various medicinal properties of the different parts of the rose as well as other foods and plants, creating a hybridized recipe for healing.

Put another way, what does one serve at a tea party with ghosts who manifest from the melancholic pain of the living? And how might a melancholic, or open, engagement with loss, rather than the closure of a finite mourning, turn grieving into an interpretative practice with political implications for the future?1

In Khar va Attar, Amitis Motevalli embodies a palimpsestic grief that cannot be contained in one particular time, place, or plane of consciousness, but spills, like tea pouring over the rim of a cup, over the borders between the living and the dead, between our era of planetary collapse and historical epochs of revolutionary decolonization and precolonial abundance.

The ghosts first appear as echoing voices communicating with the protagonist while she pours over photographs of Soraya, of Uncle Manoucher, and of other relatives left behind in Iran. Later, hand drawn animation renders the ghosts as a visual presence, and the artist is sometimes replaced by an animated drawing of herself so that she shares formal representation as well as the space of her living room and garden with her spectral guests.

Queer melancholia enables critical dialogue across time and place, across racial, ethnic, gender and sexual delineations, between the desires of the living and those of the dead. If loss is both immediate and historical, intimate and geopolitical, identity based and relational, then grieving will have to be just as capacious and open-ended, infused with the solidarity and compassion of the ghost healers of Khar va Attar.

DAVID GREENE, Host: It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm David Greene in Washington.STEVE INSKEEP, Host: And I'm Steve Inskeep in New York. In recent days, some Pakistanis acted as if they expected war with the United States. They're responding to an accusation.GREENE: The top American military officer says Pakistan's intelligence agency still supports militants. Admiral Mike Mullen says that includes men who attacked the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan.MICHAEL MULLEN: In choosing to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy, the government of Pakistan - and most especially the Pakistani Army and ISI - jeopardizes not only the prospect of our strategic partnership, but Pakistan's opportunity to be a respected nation with legitimate regional influence.GREENE: Facing this allegation, Pakistani newspapers warned of conflict while Pakistani generals held emergency meetings. There was talk of recalling the foreign minister from a visit to the U.S.INSKEEP: In the end she stayed, spoke at the United Nations, and sat down with us. Hina Rabbani Khar is 34, new on the job, and defending Pakistan's military.HINA RABBANI KHAR: We are both fighting this very, very complicated, complex situation in the region. We are both fighting against the same people. Pakistan has lost 30,000 of its men, women and children to the same war that your country is fighting. Imagine how the U.S. would react if such a number had lost their lives and then comments would come from other countries which said that you are the problem, you are part of the problem.INSKEEP: Granting the sacrifices that Pakistan has made?RABBANI KHAR: Mm-hmm.INSKEEP: ?that you have described, when I visited Pakistan, discussions of links between the Inter-Services Intelligence and militant groups are very common, almost common knowledge. You hear about it on the street, you read about it in the media. Why is it even a why is it even a subject of controversy?RABBANI KHAR: You know, there are links of any intelligence agency - and I can assure you that your intelligence agency would have links with the same people, maybe - does that mean that they are involved in an attack which was made on your embassy? I just saw a picture where Jalaluddin Haqqani was the state guest at the White House. Does that mean that your country still supports what they're doing?INSKEEP: You're referring to this group leader whose group dates back to 1980, when the U.S was allies?RABBANI KHAR: Of course. Of course. And these people were created at that time, and they were created with your financing. You see, so if you want to look at it unilaterally, I think it's counterproductive.INSKEEP: Although Admiral Mullen, the man who made this statement, is perhaps the most engaged of all U.S. officials over the last several years with your country, has visited again and again and again, which is one of the reasons the statement was given so very much weight.RABBANI KHAR: You know, the intelligence world is a complex world. I won't be in the right if I were to sit here and make any aspersions on your intelligence. I would not choose to do that. I would be maybe the most popular person in Pakistan if I were to reach out to my people by saying negative things about the U.S. But it is not in my national interest.INSKEEP: Has this incident strengthened the hand of the military in your country, where there is always, we should emphasize, a push and a pull between civilian and military control?RABBANI KHAR: And there's a general debate in your country about how much Pakistan is being assisted. I would like to share with you that this war has cost us $68 billion. Most of the money that comes is reimbursement for money that Pakistan has already spent. So let's not look at it as an aid syndrome or a country or a relationship which is determined by how much, who is giving to each other.INSKEEP: Given those numbers you laid out, would Pakistan be better off not allied with the United States?RABBANI KHAR: Pakistan would be better off with a peace and secure neighborhood. Let me just assure you that Pakistan is in the forefront of this because this is important for Pakistan's own future. I would hope you would take the time to read out the speech that I just delivered in the General Assembly, because on that I wanted to give out a very strong message that this is our fight. We are not ? we do not need encouragement. We do not need to be encouraged to fight them because we have to fight them for our own future, for the security of our own children.INSKEEP: I'm glad you mentioned your speech before the United Nations General Assembly. In that speech you spoke of - and I'm quoting here - a democratic, progressive, prosperous Pakistan. What is one thing that's holding your country back from that being a fully true statement?RABBANI KHAR: Lack of peace and security. This has a real effect on the life of every Pakistani - on the president of Pakistan, on the shopkeeper of Pakistan, on the girl what tries to go to school and who doesn't have school because we have to spend on more on operations on the Western borders. So, how are you able to ignore all these realities about where Pakistan is? The only thing I can say is that despite all of these efforts that Pakistan has made, the challenges are just still very daunting. What does that tell you? That tells you that you need to engage further, that you must not disengage.INSKEEP: Foreign Minister Khar, thanks very much.RABBANI KHAR: Thank you.INSKEEP: Hina Rabbani Khar is Pakistan's top diplomat. Tomorrow, we meet the American admiral whose accusation caused a furor in Pakistan.
