The Bollywood superstar recently appeared alongside his younger brother, Sohail Khan, during a television appearance where the two discussed fitness, weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The conversation quickly drew attention after Salman commented on Sohail’s transformed physique.

Noticing his brother’s leaner frame, Salman remarked that Sohail had clearly lost weight. Sohail proudly revealed that he had shed 12 kilograms and achieved a toned physique, even showing off his six-pack abs.

The conversation then turned to Salman himself, who surprised viewers by sharing that he had also undergone a significant physical transformation.

According to the actor, he has lost 16 kilograms, confirming that his noticeable weight loss was real rather than the result of camera angles or styling. While he did not provide details about the reason behind the weight loss, his comments appeared to reassure fans who had been worried about his health in recent weeks.

Speculation surrounding Salman’s condition intensified after videos from several public appearances circulated online. Many social media users observed that the actor looked noticeably slimmer than before, with some commenting that he appeared tired or frail. The discussions quickly gained momentum, leading to widespread concern among fans.

His latest remarks have now clarified that he has intentionally lost a significant amount of weight, although he did not elaborate on his fitness routine, diet or any medical reasons behind the transformation.

Salman has long been known for maintaining an athletic physique and has inspired millions of fans with his dedication to fitness throughout his decades-long career. Whether for film roles or personal health, the actor has often undergone physical transformations, making fitness an important part of his public image.

Despite the recent attention surrounding his appearance, Salman continues to remain busy with multiple film projects.

One of his most anticipated upcoming releases is the patriotic war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, previously known as Battle of Galwan. The film has reportedly undergone extensive reshoots, resulting in several changes to its release plans. While it was initially expected to arrive in 2026, recent reports suggest the release has been pushed back and may now take place in 2027.

The actor is also preparing for another major project alongside South Indian star Nayanthara. The film, currently being referred to by its working title SVC63, is being directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Although an official title has yet to be announced, the makers are reportedly targeting an Eid 2027 release.

With multiple high-profile films in development, Salman remains one of Bollywood’s busiest stars. His recent comments about losing 16 kilograms have helped address widespread speculation, offering fans reassurance while also highlighting his continued focus on fitness as he prepares for his upcoming projects.

    Pakistan’s Muhammad Zubair stuns Tekken 8 world championship in Paris

    PARIS: Pakistan’s Muhammad Zubair has pulled off a remarkable victory at the Esports World Cup in Paris, defeating South Korea’s LowHigh to claim the Tekken 8 world championship and put Pakistan firmly in the global esports spotlight. Zubair completed a dominant run at the tournament, held from August 5 to 8, despite narrowly surviving the early stages. His breakthrough came when the competition entered its decisive phase, where he produced one impressive performance after another. In the second group stage on Friday, Zubair defeated fellow Pakistani star Arslan “Ash” Siddique, one of the biggest names in the international Tekken scene. The two met again in Saturday’s semifinal, producing a tense battle that went down to the wire. Zubair eventually edged Ash 5-4, earning his place in the grand final. But the final proved to be a completely different story. Facing LowHigh, Zubair showed little sign of nerves and delivered a commanding 5-0 sweep to secure the championship. The emphatic victory transformed what had initially looked like an unlikely run into a memorable world title. The Esports World Cup celebrated the upset on social media, posting: “He came out of nowhere and took the crown!” Zubair’s victory also came with a substantial financial reward. The newly crowned world champion received $250,000 in prize money. For Arslan Ash, the tournament ended with a fourth-place finish after he lost the third-place decider against Australia’s Yagami. Despite the disappointment, Ash remains one of Pakistan’s most celebrated esports players. The Lahore-born star had entered the EWC after winning the 2026 Evo championship in Las Vegas in June. The victory marked his fourth consecutive Evo title, further cementing his status as one of the world’s leading Tekken competitors. Zubair’s triumph now adds another major chapter to Pakistan’s growing esports story. His victory against two established international names — and particularly his semifinal win over Ash — demonstrates the depth of Pakistan’s talent in competitive fighting games. The Esports World Cup features some of the biggest titles in competitive gaming, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Street Fighter and Valorant. For Pakistan, however, the biggest moment in Paris belonged to Zubair. After surviving the early rounds, overcoming his country’s biggest Tekken star and then sweeping a world-class South Korean opponent, Muhammad Zubair left the tournament not merely as a contender — but as the new Tekken 8 world champion.

    Pakistan exempted from US visa bond requirement 

      Pakistanis have been exempted from the United States’ proposed US$20,000 visa bond requirement, after the country was left out of the list covered by the new policy. The United States has officially made its 2025 Visa Bond Pilot Program a permanent measure. However, Pakistan is not included among the countries subject to the financial guarantee requirement. Under the program, travelers from certain countries may be required to pay a visa bond of up to US$20,000 before entering the United States. The bond serves as a financial guarantee to ensure visitors comply with the terms of their visas, including departing the country before their authorized stay expires. According to the latest list released by US authorities, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and India are not among the countries included in the permanent visa bond program. As a result, Pakistani applicants seeking US visas will not be required to deposit the US$20,000 financial guarantee under this policy. The visa bond initiative was originally introduced as a pilot program in 2025 to reduce visa overstays and encourage compliance with US immigration laws. The program allows the US government to impose a refundable financial bond on visitors from selected countries that have high rates of visa overstays or other immigration concerns. With the program now becoming permanent, only nationals of the countries designated by the US government will be subject to the bond requirement. Since Pakistan has not been placed on that list, Pakistani travelers applying for US visas will continue to follow the standard visa application process without the additional financial bond. The decision is expected to provide relief to many Pakistani citizens planning to visit the United States for tourism, business, education, or family-related purposes, as the proposed bond could have posed a significant financial burden on applicants. While the visa bond requirement does not apply to Pakistan, all applicants must still meet the existing US visa eligibility criteria, including submitting the required documentation, attending a visa interview when necessary, and satisfying immigration officers that they intend to comply with the conditions of their visa.

    Colombia’s death toll from earthquake climbs…

    Rescue crews continue combing through collapsed buildings across western Colombia after a powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the region on Monday, August 10, with officials confirming the death toll has risen to at least 164 people. Authorities said more than 880 people have sustained injuries, while over 3,200 remain unaccounted for as soldiers, emergency responders and local volunteers work through debris from dozens of collapsed structures. Thousands of residents have been forced from their homes since the quake struck, adding to the scale of the humanitarian response now underway. The earthquake flattened multi story buildings in cities including Pereira and Cali, and severely damaged one of the towers of a historic cathedral in Manizales. The tremor originated at an intermediate depth with its epicenter located near San José del Palmar in the western department of Chocó, causing widespread destruction across Pereira, Cali, Manizales and other communities in Colombia’s coffee growing region. Residential buildings, hospitals, schools and key infrastructure, including several regional airports, all suffered severe damage in the quake. At one city hospital, several upper floors, including sections dedicated to pediatric care, collapsed inward, trapping some patients inside and forcing hospital staff to treat roughly 600 additional patients outdoors on a street littered with debris, according to hospital director Irne Torres Castro, who spoke to a Colombian television network. That same city saw some of the earthquake’s most extensive destruction, with entire residential blocks reduced to piles of concrete and twisted metal. Video circulating online captured buildings shaking violently as residents fled into the streets, while separate footage showed a regional airport swaying dramatically during the quake as large sections of ceiling came down around people sheltering inside. Among the most widely shared images online is footage showing the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary shaking and partially collapsing. The cathedral, built in the 1920s, holds the distinction of being Colombia’s tallest cathedral and ranks among the highest neo Gothic churches anywhere in the Americas. The disaster struck just days after Abelardo De La Espriella was sworn in as Colombia’s president, immediately confronting his new administration with a major crisis. The earthquake also comes with memories still fresh of a pair of devastating earthquakes that struck neighboring Venezuela in June. Colombia’s national government has declared a state of emergency and mobilized the military, police and specialized rescue units to lead recovery operations, while accepting offers of international assistance as the search for survivors continues. The disaster adds to a string of major seismic events across the region in recent months, underscoring the ongoing vulnerability of Andean nations to powerful earthquakes and the strain such disasters place on emergency infrastructure even in areas with established disaster response systems.

The earthquake reportedly injured at least 570 people, according to figures released by authorities. The epicentre was located near the village of San José del Palmar in Colombia’s Chocó province, where the impact was particularly severe. The disaster also caused extensive damage to homes and public infrastructure. Around 1,575 homes were reportedly damaged, while 61 buildings collapsed following the powerful tremors. Several essential facilities were also affected, including 18 health centres, 52 educational centres and 17 community centres. As the scale of the destruction became clearer, authorities declared a state of emergency to strengthen rescue and relief operations. Emergency departments were mobilised to assist affected communities, assess damaged areas and provide support to people who had been displaced or injured. Shakira was not the only Colombian celebrity to react to the devastating earthquake. Several prominent Latin music stars also used their social media platforms to express concern and help spread information about relief efforts. Maluma, J Balvin and Karol G were among the entertainers who addressed the situation, using their large online audiences to raise awareness and share information related to assistance and resources. The earthquake has prompted an outpouring of solidarity across Colombia, with public figures, emergency workers and ordinary citizens joining efforts to support those affected. As rescue and recovery operations continue, messages from stars such as Shakira have highlighted the importance of unity and cooperation during one of the country’s most difficult moments in recent years.
