    Mrunal Thakur breaks silence on dating rumors with…

    ByJustpaste.in

    Indian actress Mrunal Thakur has reacted to dating rumors linking her with cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal, calling the speculation baseless after a video of the two leaving the same café in Mumbai went viral on social media. The rumors involving Mrunal Thakur and Jaiswal gained attention after the pair were reportedly seen leaving a café in Mumbai’s Bandra West area. A video showing the two in the same location quickly circulated online, prompting social media users to speculate about a possible relationship. Mrunal, however, appeared to reject the claims through a comment on the social media account that shared the video. She questioned how people could treat such speculation as fact simply because the two had been seen at the same place. The actress also appeared frustrated by the attention surrounding the rumor and suggested that there were more important issues deserving public attention. She encouraged content creators to focus on more meaningful topics rather than relationship speculation. Although the original comment is reportedly no longer visible under the video, a screenshot of Mrunal’s alleged response has continued circulating on social media. The Mrunal Thakur Yashasvi Jaiswal dating rumors are not the first time the actress has been linked romantically with another celebrity. In 2025, speculation also connected Mrunal with South Indian actor Dhanush after the two were seen interacting warmly at the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2. Following their interaction, social media users speculated that Dhanush had attended the screening specifically to support Mrunal. Later reports even claimed that the two could marry in 2026. However, neither actor publicly confirmed those reports, while sources close to Mrunal reportedly dismissed claims that she was preparing to marry. Mrunal began her entertainment career on television before moving into films. She appeared in television projects including Mujhse Kuchh Kehti…Yeh Khamoshiyaan and Kumkum Bhagya, before making her Bollywood film debut with Love Sonia in 2018. She has since established herself in both Hindi and Telugu cinema and has appeared in several high-profile projects. Mrunal was most recently seen in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, alongside Varun Dhawan and Pooja Hegde. Her upcoming projects reportedly include Pooja Meri Jaan and the Telugu film Raka. For now, the actress’s response makes clear that the latest romance claims involving Jaiswal remain unconfirmed speculation, rather than an established relationship.

    Lebanese PM vows efforts to secure full Israeli withdrawal

    ByJustpaste.in

    Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said the government will continue working through diplomatic and political channels to secure a complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. His remarks came during a visit to the village of Zawtar al Gharbiyah where the Lebanese army has recently expanded its deployment following a new security agreement aimed at reducing tensions along the border. Speaking to residents and military personnel, Salam said Lebanon remains committed to restoring full control over all its territory. He stressed that the government would continue its efforts to ensure Israeli forces leave the remaining occupied areas in the south while supporting the Lebanese army as it strengthens its presence in the region. The prime minister’s visit followed talks between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and US President Donald Trump at the White House. During the meeting, Aoun urged the United States to support Lebanon’s demand for a complete Israeli withdrawal from its territory as part of ongoing efforts to stabilise the border. Last month, Lebanon and Israel agreed to a US backed framework under which the Lebanese army would gradually deploy in designated areas while Israeli troops would withdraw from selected locations. The agreement also calls for the Lebanese military to take responsibility for disarming Hezbollah in those zones. Hezbollah has rejected the deal and insists it will not surrender its weapons. Tensions remain high despite the agreement. Lebanon’s army said Israeli forces opened fire near soldiers who were deploying in Zawtar al Gharbiyah on Tuesday. The Israeli military responded by saying its troops fired warning shots after Lebanese soldiers entered an area outside the agreed deployment zone. The border region has remained unstable since Hezbollah entered the regional conflict by launching attacks against Israel in support of Iran earlier this year. Israel responded with large scale airstrikes and a ground offensive that caused widespread destruction across southern Lebanon. Although violence has eased following recent diplomatic agreements, occasional military exchanges continue. During his visit, Salam raised the Lebanese flag in the village and promised that the government would focus on rebuilding damaged communities. He said authorities would work alongside the army to reopen roads, clear rubble, restore essential public services, and create conditions that allow displaced residents to return home safely. Many local residents gathered near the village hoping to receive permission to inspect their homes after months of conflict. Some expressed relief over the arrival of the Lebanese army, saying its presence gave them confidence that life could gradually return to normal. However, military officials advised civilians to wait until security operations in the area are completed before returning. The army is currently conducting security sweeps in villages close to Israeli controlled positions to ensure the areas are safe for returning residents. Officials say these operations are necessary because of the continued risk of military activity near the border. Meanwhile, Lebanon’s state news agency reported additional Israeli drone strikes and artillery shelling in nearby areas on Wednesday. It also said Israeli troops entered the Dubieh area near the border town of Shaqra and raised an Israeli flag over the historic Dubieh Castle. Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salame strongly criticised the move, describing it as a provocative action that violates Lebanon’s sovereignty. He said the government remains committed to regaining control over all historic sites and national territory in the south. The latest incident follows Israel’s seizure of the historic Beaufort Castle in May. International attention has also turned to the condition of several historic castles in southern Lebanon. The United Nations is expected to consider adding five of these sites, including Beaufort Castle and Dubieh Castle, to its list of cultural landmarks at risk due to ongoing conflict. Lebanese officials hope international support will help protect these important heritage sites while diplomatic efforts continue to prevent further escalation along the border.

    Gold prices rise as weaker dollar, softer US data boost rate-cut hopes

    ByJustpaste.in

    Gold prices moved higher on Monday as a weaker US dollar and subdued economic data strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming policy meeting. Spot gold gained 0.4% to $4,391.07 per ounce by 0248 GMT, extending its recent momentum after the precious metal reached a more than two-month high during the previous week. US gold futures for December delivery also advanced 0.3% to $4,448.10 per ounce. The dollar’s decline provided additional support to bullion. The US dollar index fell 0.1%, making gold and other dollar-denominated commodities relatively cheaper for buyers using other currencies. According to Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, gold began the week with strong momentum as weaker inflation data put pressure on the dollar and created room for bullion to approach the $4,400 threshold. Waterer said a sustained rise beyond the $4,500-per-ounce level would likely require further weakness in the dollar or a clearer decline in energy prices. US economic data shape rate expectations Recent US economic indicators have played a major role in reshaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy. An unexpected contraction in US nonfarm payrolls in July, combined with relatively moderate consumer-price inflation, has reduced market expectations for an interest-rate increase at the Fed’s next meeting. Data from the CME FedWatch Tool showed that traders were assigning a roughly 30% probability to a September rate hike, down from about 47% a month earlier. Expectations surrounding interest rates are closely watched by gold investors because bullion does not generate interest or dividends. When borrowing costs and yields are lower, the opportunity cost of holding gold declines, potentially increasing demand for the precious metal. Market participants are therefore looking ahead to the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting, scheduled for release on Wednesday. Investors will examine the minutes for indications about policymakers’ views on inflation, employment and the future direction of monetary policy. Any indication that the central bank is becoming less inclined to raise rates could provide additional support to gold, while a more hawkish tone could strengthen the dollar and place pressure on bullion. Geopolitical tensions remain in focus Geopolitical developments also continued to influence financial markets. US President Donald Trump’s representatives met Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators in Cairo on Sunday as diplomatic efforts continued to advance a proposed Gaza peace plan, according to a diplomatic source. The talks were taking place against the backdrop of continued Israeli military operations in Gaza. Ongoing tensions in the Middle East have kept investors alert to the possibility of further disruptions to energy markets and global trade. Gold traditionally attracts safe-haven demand during periods of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Any escalation in regional tensions could therefore influence investor flows into precious metals. Other precious metals gain Other major precious metals also recorded gains during Monday’s session. Spot silver climbed 1.4% to $65.53 per ounce, extending its positive momentum. Silver tends to benefit from both investment demand and expectations surrounding industrial activity. Platinum advanced 0.3% to $1,752.36 per ounce, while palladium rose 1.6% to $1,333.35.

    PM takes notice of lawmakers’ absenteeism

    ByJustpaste.in

    ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has taken notice of the low attendance of lawmakers during parliamentary sessions. Speaking to the media outside the National Assembly on Tuesday, Sadiq said some federal ministers had raised the issue of members’ absence with the prime minister. He said the government and lawmakers were now paying attention to improving attendance. The speaker’s comments came after a session of the National Assembly witnessed a low presence of members, with a large number of seats remaining vacant during proceedings. Sadiq said maintaining the required quorum was not solely the responsibility of the speaker. He said both the government and opposition benches had a duty to ensure that their members attended parliamentary proceedings. He expressed hope that attendance would improve when the next session is held, which is expected to take place later this week. According to the speaker, the government had conveyed that it recognised the seriousness of the issue and intended to improve lawmakers’ presence in future sessions. Sadiq urged members from both sides of the House to remain present during proceedings. He said parliamentary sessions provided limited time for debate, questions, discussions and legislation, and lawmakers should make full use of the opportunity. He noted that poor attendance affected both sides of the House. The government could not properly complete its legislative agenda, while opposition members also lost the opportunity to raise issues and scrutinise government policies. The speaker also commented on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s intention to adopt a more active approach towards legislation. Sadiq welcomed the move, saying stronger opposition participation could improve parliamentary accountability. He said constructive pressure from opposition parties could also encourage the government to introduce reforms. Regarding resignations submitted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members from standing committees, the speaker said he had not accepted any of the resignations. He said parliamentary committees were continuing to function and could perform more effectively if opposition members regularly participated in their meetings. Asked about the possibility of the united opposition moving a no-confidence motion against him or Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Sadiq said it was a constitutional and democratic right of the opposition. He said the National Assembly would facilitate the opposition if it decided to exercise that right. Sadiq also spoke about efforts to reduce political tensions between the government and opposition. He said several attempts had been made to bring the two sides to the negotiating table. He said he, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the law minister and Rana Sanaullah had repeatedly offered dialogue.

    Father seeks fresh post-mortem in Mir Raza case

    ByJustpaste.in

    The father of deceased businessman Mir Raza Ali has decided to seek a second post-mortem examination, saying he is not satisfied with the initial medical report or the progress of the investigation into his son’s death. Mir Hussain said he will move the court to request a fresh medical examination. He believes the first post-mortem did not fully explain the circumstances of his son’s death and has called for a transparent and impartial investigation. Mir Raza Ali, an IBA graduate and businessman, went missing on the night of July 28 after leaving his home. According to his family, he told them he would return within a few minutes. However, he did not come back. His body was found the following day in bushes in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar area. The victim’s father has rejected the theory that his son died by suicide. He insists that Mir Raza was murdered and claims attempts are being made to present the incident as a suicide. He alleged that his son’s body showed signs of violence, including burns to the face, body and fingerprints. He also claimed that Mir Raza was shot from behind and questioned why the initial medical report focused only on the gunshot injury without mentioning other visible injuries. Mir Hussain further questioned what happened to his son during the nearly 24 hours between his disappearance and the recovery of his body. He said Mir Raza had spoken to his sister before leaving home and appeared to be in a normal mood. According to the family, the taxi driver who dropped him off also told investigators that the businessman seemed cheerful and was singing during the journey. Preliminary medical findings indicated that the victim died from a gunshot wound. The report estimated that the body was between 24 and 36 hours old when examined. Medical officials also noted facial injuries and marks on one of his hands. The bullet’s path suggested it entered from the back and exited through the front. To ensure a thorough inquiry, Karachi police have constituted a three-member special investigation team. The team has been directed to examine every aspect of the case, identify those responsible and submit daily progress reports to senior police officials. Investigators have also reviewed the victim’s mobile phone records and forensic evidence. According to officials, the data indicates that Mir Raza had been facing financial difficulties. Authorities said he had reportedly sent a message to a friend shortly before his death requesting a loan of Rs30 million. Police have recorded statements from 15 individuals, including the taxi driver who last transported the victim and the person who first informed authorities about the body.
