Urmila Matondkar’s ex-husband Mohsin Akhtar shar…

Mohsin Akhtar, the former husband of veteran Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar, has shared a fresh collection of romantic photographs with his new wife, Nida Bhatt, giving fans another glimpse into their wedding celebrations.

The 43-year-old businessman and model posted photographs from his walima ceremony several months after announcing his marriage to Nida. Alongside the pictures, Mohsin shared an emotional message expressing his love and appreciation for his new wife.

In his heartfelt post, Mohsin described Nida as much more than his wife, calling her his “home” and “peace.” He also promised to stand by her, value her and continue loving her throughout every chapter of their journey together.

The new photographs offer glimpses of the couple celebrating their marriage with family and friends. Mohsin had previously shared pictures from his wedding with Nida in June, officially revealing details of his new marriage to his followers.

His latest social media post has attracted attention largely because of his previous high-profile marriage to Urmila Matondkar, one of Bollywood’s well-known actresses.

Before marrying Nida, Mohsin was married to Urmila. The couple tied the knot on February 4, 2016, in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family members.

Their relationship attracted considerable attention at the time, partly because of their age difference and their interfaith marriage. Mohsin, who comes from a Kashmiri business background and has worked as a model, is around 10 years younger than Urmila.

Following their separation, both have continued with their respective lives and careers. Mohsin’s latest posts now focus on his new relationship and marriage, with his affectionate message to Nida offering a glimpse into his current personal life.

The newly shared wedding photographs have given fans a closer look at the celebrations surrounding Mohsin and Nida’s marriage. His romantic caption has also drawn attention, particularly his description of his wife as his source of comfort and happiness.

While Urmila Matondkar remains a prominent name in Indian cinema, Mohsin Akhtar’s latest social media update has shifted the spotlight toward his new chapter in life.

The couple’s wedding pictures are continuing to attract interest online as fans react to the romantic moments and Mohsin’s emotional message for his new bride.

    ICCI awards in Istanbul highlight new opportunities for Pakistan-Turkiye economic partnership

    ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) has used a series of high-level engagements in Istanbul to promote Pakistan’s private sector, recognise leading entrepreneurs and strengthen commercial ties between Pakistan and Turkiye. The ICCI International Excellence Awards 2026 brought together Turkish government representatives, diplomats, business leaders and members of the Pakistani and Turkish business communities, providing a platform to highlight the contribution of Pakistani entrepreneurs while exploring opportunities for greater bilateral trade and investment. Around 40 Pakistani business leaders representing a range of sectors were honoured at the awards ceremony for their contributions to the country’s economy and private-sector development, according to a press release issued on Saturday. The event also provided an opportunity for business representatives from both countries to discuss the potential for expanded commercial cooperation, investment partnerships and joint ventures. Turkish officials stress stronger business links Addressing the ceremony, Istanbul Deputy Governor Mehmet Sulun said initiatives bringing together business communities from Pakistan and Turkiye could play an important role in expanding people-to-people and business-to-business contacts. He said stronger interaction between entrepreneurs could create fresh opportunities in trade, investment and joint ventures while contributing to deeper ties between the two countries. Sulun observed that business leaders played a role beyond commercial activity, describing them as important contributors to friendship and mutual understanding between the two nations. He expressed confidence that the longstanding relationship between Pakistan and Turkiye would continue to develop and remain strong for future generations. Pakistan’s Consul General in Istanbul Khawaja Khurram Naeem also emphasised the importance of expanding direct links between the private sectors of the two countries. He said political and fraternal relations needed to be complemented by stronger commercial engagement if Pakistan and Turkiye were to significantly increase bilateral trade and investment. Naeem assured Pakistani business representatives that Pakistan’s diplomatic mission would continue supporting initiatives aimed at improving commercial cooperation and facilitating interaction between entrepreneurs from both countries. ICCI seeks expansion in trade and investment In his opening remarks, ICCI President Sardar Tahir Mehmood highlighted the longstanding historical, cultural and fraternal relationship between Pakistan and Turkiye. He said the two countries had strong political and people-to-people relations, but the economic relationship had considerable room for further expansion. Mehmood reaffirmed the ICCI’s commitment to supporting efforts aimed at increasing bilateral trade and investment in line with the ambitions of the leadership of both countries. He said the chamber was working to establish itself as an international platform connecting Pakistani businesses with global markets and partners. According to Mehmood, the ICCI is focusing on promoting Pakistani exports, attracting investment and developing international business partnerships while coordinating with government departments and other relevant institutions to improve the business environment. He stressed that greater ease of doing business and stronger institutional support would help Pakistani companies compete more effectively in international markets. Turkish chamber backs institutional cooperation Munir Ustun, a member of the Executive Board of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, welcomed efforts to bring the Pakistani and Turkish business communities closer. He stressed the importance of stronger institutional relationships between chambers and private-sector organisations in both countries. Ustun said regular business delegations, business-to-business meetings and joint commercial initiatives could help identify areas where cooperation could be expanded. He noted that significant untapped potential existed in bilateral trade and investment and that closer engagement between businesses could help turn that potential into concrete commercial projects. Faisal Town Group Director Zohair Majeed said the international recognition given to Pakistani entrepreneurs demonstrated the capability and resilience of the country’s private sector. He said Pakistani companies had the potential to compete in international markets and argued that stronger partnerships with Turkish businesses could create opportunities in investment, technology transfer and exports. According to Majeed, greater cooperation between businesses could also contribute to sustainable economic growth and help Pakistani companies gain access to new markets and technologies. Pakistan-Turkiye economic ties discussed at Independence Day event The ICCI delegation also participated in a separate event in Istanbul to mark Pakistan’s 79th Independence Day, where Pakistani and Turkish business representatives reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral economic cooperation. Speaking at the gathering, Mehmood said Pakistan’s independence had been achieved after enormous sacrifices by the country’s founding generation. He called on citizens and the business community to contribute to national development by promoting economic growth, investment and entrepreneurship. Mehmood said Pakistan and Turkiye shared decades of historical, cultural and fraternal ties, adding that the longstanding relationship should increasingly be reflected in stronger economic cooperation. He called for greater participation by the private sectors of both countries in trade, investment and joint ventures. The ICCI president said the chamber would continue to provide platforms where Pakistani and Turkish entrepreneurs could meet, explore commercial opportunities and develop long-term partnerships. Turkish business representatives also reiterated their commitment to deepening the relationship with Pakistan, particularly through increased trade, investment and direct business-to-business engagement. Business conference explores investment opportunities The economic engagement was further strengthened through a Business Opportunity Conference in Istanbul, which brought together business leaders from both countries to examine potential areas for cooperation. Participants discussed opportunities for expanding bilateral trade, establishing joint ventures, attracting investment and creating stronger business-to-business connections. Pakistan’s Consul General in Istanbul Khawaja Khurram Naeem participated actively in the discussions, responding to questions from Turkish business representatives and outlining Pakistan’s trade and investment potential. He also highlighted developments in the country’s business and investment environment and encouraged Turkish companies to examine opportunities in Pakistan.

    Beatles film cast resumes filming at Abbey Road after setback

    Barry Keoghan, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson have resumed filming for Sam Mendes’ highly anticipated Beatles film after production faced a major setback involving one of the most historic locations connected to the legendary band. On Sunday, August 16, the four actors were seen filming outside Abbey Road Studios in London, dressed in suits as they worked on scenes for the upcoming project. Their appearance at the iconic location marks an important moment for the production, particularly because Abbey Road holds a special place in the history of the Beatles. The famous recording studio is closely associated with the band, which recorded much of its music there. Abbey Road also became the name of the Beatles’ 1969 studio album, one of the most celebrated records in music history. The album was the final studio album recorded by the group, although Let It Be was released afterward. Much of the material for Let It Be had already been recorded before the sessions for Abbey Road. The new film project will see the four actors step into the roles of the legendary Beatles members. Barry Keoghan is set to portray drummer Ringo Starr, while Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney. Joseph Quinn will take on the role of guitarist George Harrison, with Harris Dickinson portraying singer and songwriter John Lennon. The actors’ latest filming appearance comes after concerns over whether production would be allowed to take place at Abbey Road. Director Sam Mendes had previously revealed that Westminster Council was not initially permitting filming at the location, creating uncertainty around plans to recreate scenes connected to the Beatles’ history. However, the situation was later resolved, with filming ultimately going ahead at Abbey Road. The development allowed Mendes and his production team to use the historic location for scenes featuring the four actors portraying the iconic band members. The project, officially titled The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event, was announced as an ambitious new take on the story of the legendary British rock band. Rather than focusing on the Beatles as a group through a single traditional biographical film, the project is planned as four interconnected movies, with each installment focusing on one member of the band. The production is particularly significant because it has received the support and participation of the Beatles’ surviving members and the families of the late members. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, have granted rights connected to the project. The star-studded cast extends beyond the four leading actors. Aimee Lou Wood, Anna Sawai and James Norton are also among the performers involved in the highly anticipated production, with additional cast members expected to appear. Despite the growing excitement surrounding the project and the latest filming activity, the official release date has not yet been announced. Fans will have to wait for further details from Mendes and the production team as work continues on the ambitious Beatles film series.

    Trump hits back at Canada as tariff war escalates

    WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs on American goods, deepening a trade dispute that threatens to further strain economic ties between the two neighbouring countries. Trump responded sharply on Sunday after Canada confirmed that new tariffs targeting US products would take effect on September 8. “Canada wants the benefits of being a state, without being one!!!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, while also accusing Canada of imposing heavy tariffs on American farmers for years. The latest escalation follows the introduction of new US tariffs covering around $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. The measures, which took effect on Saturday, impose tariffs of up to 50 per cent and affect products ranging from hockey sticks and cement to other Canadian exports. Carney announced Canada’s response a day earlier, saying Ottawa would impose new tariffs particularly targeting American steel and dairy products. The Canadian prime minister described the situation in unusually forceful terms, saying the country had effectively been “attacked” and was responding accordingly. The confrontation follows the collapse of recent trade negotiations between Washington and Ottawa. Earlier discussions had appeared more constructive, with Trump saying he believed the United States could reach an agreement with Canada and pointing to his positive relationship with Carney. But Carney said the latest US demands had crossed a line. According to the Canadian leader, Washington proposed terms that were “uneconomic” and “unfair” while undermining the benefits Canada expected from a potential agreement. Ottawa ultimately rejected the proposal. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer offered a different account of the negotiations. He told The New York Times that Washington had offered to reduce tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium and automobiles while also removing a recently imposed tariff on Canadian lumber. Greer said the proposed measures would have provided Canada with exceptionally favourable treatment compared with other US trading partners. However, the offer failed to produce a breakthrough. Greer also told Fox News that Washington was preparing measures in response to Canada’s retaliation, signalling that the dispute could escalate further rather than return immediately to the negotiating table. A senior US official described the latest talks as candid but not acrimonious, suggesting that despite the increasingly hostile public statements, both sides had maintained communication during negotiations. The economic stakes are significant. The United States and Canada share one of the world’s largest trading relationships, with businesses and consumers on both sides relying heavily on cross-border commerce. The latest tariffs could therefore raise costs for companies, disrupt supply chains and put additional pressure on industries already facing uncertainty. With Canadian counter-tariffs scheduled to take effect in September, attention will now turn to whether Washington and Ottawa can find a compromise before the measures trigger a wider trade confrontation.

    Shakira sends heartfelt message after Colombia earthquake

    Shakira has expressed her support for Colombia after a powerful earthquake struck the country, leaving a trail of destruction and claiming numerous lives. The Colombian singer used social media to send a heartfelt message to those affected by the disaster while urging people to come together and support one another during the difficult time. The magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia at around 7:34 a.m. on Monday, August 10. The devastating tremor caused widespread damage across several areas, with the reported death toll reaching 132. Hundreds of people were also injured as buildings and infrastructure were damaged by the powerful quake. Following the disaster, Shakira took to her Instagram Stories to address the situation and share a message of solidarity with her fellow Colombians. The singer, who has frequently spoken about her deep connection to her home country, offered her thoughts to the victims and families struggling in the aftermath of the earthquake. “Beloved Colombia, my heart is with everyone who felt this earthquake today and with the families who are going through moments of anguish,” Shakira wrote in Spanish. She further encouraged Colombians to remain united and help one another as emergency teams worked to respond to the destruction. “In times like these, we Colombians know how to come together and support one another. All my strength and love for my homeland. Let’s embrace tightly and stay tuned to the instructions so we can help as soon as possible,” she added. 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.

    Oil prices climb amid US-Iran tensions as markets brace for supply risks

    LONDON: Global oil prices moved higher on Friday and were set to post strong weekly gains as investors closely monitored escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, raising fears of potential disruptions to energy supplies from the Middle East. Brent crude futures advanced by 1.45%, reaching $88.33 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 1.26% to $82.27 a barrel. The gains came as diplomatic efforts aimed at easing regional conflict showed little progress, increasing uncertainty in global energy markets. Market participants remained focused on reports that Washington could intensify economic pressure on Tehran, including the possibility of expanding maritime restrictions and tightening sanctions. Analysts said any further deterioration in relations between the two countries could have a significant impact on global crude exports, particularly given the Middle East’s critical role in oil production. Energy analysts noted that concerns over supply interruptions have become a key driver of recent price movements. While no major disruption has yet occurred, traders are pricing in the risk that a broader conflict could affect shipping routes and regional oil infrastructure. “Geopolitical developments continue to dominate market sentiment,” analysts said, adding that a major escalation could trigger a sharper increase in oil prices and add to inflationary pressures worldwide. Meanwhile, economic data from the United States added another dimension to market activity. A survey released on Friday indicated that consumer sentiment weakened in early August as households faced higher living costs, partly linked to rising energy prices and global uncertainty. US retail sales data also came in weaker than expected, leading investors to scale back expectations of another interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve next month. The softer economic outlook pushed the US dollar lower and reduced Treasury yields, offering support to commodities priced in dollars, including gold and oil. Spot gold prices climbed 0.69% to $4,380.03 per ounce, while US gold futures settled 0.4% higher at $4,437.30 an ounce as investors sought safe-haven assets amid geopolitical concerns. In currency markets, the Japanese yen strengthened slightly against the US dollar, trading near 159.37 per dollar. The movement followed reports that the Bank of Japan may consider raising interest rates as early as September. However, traders continued to watch the key 160-yen level, which could prompt intervention by Japanese authorities. Global equity markets showed mixed performance. On Wall Street, technology stocks weighed on major indexes after recent gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 73.41 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also closed lower. Despite Friday’s decline, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remained on course for a third consecutive weekly gain. European markets also ended lower, snapping a four-week winning streak as rising oil prices and geopolitical risks overshadowed generally positive corporate earnings. MSCI’s global equity index edged down 0.09%, reflecting cautious investor sentiment, while Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan recorded modest gains. Market strategists said investors are increasingly balancing optimism over corporate earnings and expectations of easier monetary policy against uncertainty surrounding international conflicts. John Sidawi, Senior Portfolio Manager at Federated Hermes, observed that financial markets have recently shown resilience despite geopolitical shocks, but warned that this calm may not last indefinitely. He noted that either a significant escalation in conflict or a clear diplomatic breakthrough could lead to a much stronger market reaction than current asset prices suggest.

    Kelly Osbourne sparks fresh drama with ex Sid Wilson

    Kelly Osbourne has sparked fresh speculation about the state of her relationship with former partner Sid Wilson after sharing a series of emotional and strongly worded posts on social media. The 41-year-old television personality took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, expressing frustration and heartbreak through several cryptic messages that many followers believe were directed at Wilson. In her first Story, Osbourne wrote about accountability and personal responsibility, suggesting that some people choose to deflect blame instead of confronting their own actions. “Strange how the loudest defense of the guilty is rarely innocence… It’s distraction. When the mask slips, they don’t face the mirror, they throw it at someone else. This is why I always take accountability! As they say some are sicker than others,” she wrote. Although she did not mention anyone by name, the timing and nature of the posts quickly fueled speculation that the remarks were aimed at her former boyfriend. Osbourne followed the message with a heartfelt image referring to her son, Sidney, whom she shares with Wilson. The post highlighted her commitment to protecting her child above everything else. “My son’s little heart once beat right beside mine. So trust me when I say… I will protect it at all costs,” the image read. The television personality continued with another emotional statement, saying she had reached her limit and wanted to move forward with her life. “Wake the fk up. Take some responsibility. I will not take your st anymore! I’m done. I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal. I can’t protect you from yourself anymore,” she wrote. Osbourne later shared another message emphasizing that her primary responsibility is ensuring her child’s emotional wellbeing and safety. She explained that she would always put her son first, regardless of anyone else’s expectations, opinions or feelings. According to the post, her role as a parent means prioritizing her child’s happiness and security above everything else, adding that protecting her family now takes precedence over preserving anyone else’s comfort. In what appeared to be her most direct message of the day, Osbourne also demanded the return of her belongings and pets while raising the issue of financial support for their son. “Also while I’m at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions. Oh yeah and maybe some child support?” she wrote. The posts immediately attracted widespread attention online, with many fans expressing concern over the apparent breakdown in the former couple’s relationship. Neither Osbourne nor Wilson has publicly provided additional context regarding the messages. The social media updates also came amid reports that Wilson’s future with the heavy metal band Slipknot had become uncertain. Reports claimed the longtime DJ and keyboardist had been informed that he was no longer part of the band after nearly three decades. Wilson has been associated with Slipknot since its early days and has remained one of the group’s most recognizable members throughout its career. However, neither Wilson nor the band has officially addressed the reported claims. As of now, both Osbourne and Wilson have remained silent beyond the Instagram posts, leaving fans waiting for further clarification on the situation.
