    ‘Self-amusement’: Chinese expert rubbishes Indian claim of downing Pakistani jets

    Senior Research Fellow at the Charhar Institute, Prof. Cheng Xizhong, on Sunday, termed Indian Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh’s claim that India had shot down five Pakistani fighter jets and one large aircraft during the conflict in early May “self-amusement.”

    In a statement, Xizhong said, “The remarks by the Indian air chief marshal are comical, implausible, and unconvincing. We may call it self-amusement.”

    Cheng stated New Delhi’s allegations lacked strong evidence and have been “widely questioned by the international community, being considered groundless.” 

    “It is thus evident that no Pakistani fighter jet was hit or destroyed by the Indian side. On the contrary, the Pakistani side shot down six Indian fighter jets and destroyed S-400 air defence positions, among other achievements, which is an indisputable fact,” he added.

    Speaking at an event in Bengaluru on Saturday, the Indian air chief marshal had claimed: “We have at least five fighters confirmed killed, and one large aircraft,” adding that the large aircraft, which could be a surveillance plane, was shot down at a distance of 300 kilometres.

    He alleged that India’s Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missile system was responsible for downing most of the Pakistani aircraft, citing electronic tracking data as evidence of the strikes.

    Without detailing the type of fighter jets that were downed, he claimed that airstrikes also hit an additional surveillance plane and “a few F-16” fighters that were parked in hangars at two air bases in Sindh and Punjab. “This is actually the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill,” he added.

    Singh’s remarks came three months after the neighbouring countries’ severe military conflict in May. The statement raises eyebrows about the timing, and he did not present any evidence, such as photos of the fighter jet’s wreckage and radar monitoring data.

    Pakistan said it downed five Indian planes in air-to-air combat on the night of May 6-7, later stating that the figure had climbed up to six. India’s highest-ranking General has also acknowledged that its forces “suffered losses” in the air, and their air force was grounded for two days; however, he denied losing six aircraft.

  • Fawad Khan’s Bollywood venture ‘Abir Gulaal’ set for August release, but not in India

    Fawad Khan’s Bollywood venture ‘Abir Gulaal’ set for August release, but not in India

    Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan’s film ‘Abir Gulaal’ is set to release on August 29, 2025, under the new title ‘Aabeer Gulal’, according to Indian media reports.

    The film was originally scheduled to release on May 12, but was postponed following the attack on tourists in the Pahalgam area of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir in late April, which left several people dead.

    India blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack, a claim Pakistan has strongly denied. Following the incident, India imposed restrictions on Pakistani artists and YouTube channels.

    Since Fawad Khan played the lead role in Abir Gulaal, the film faced an indefinite ban.

    Recently, The Times of India reported that the film will now be released on August 29 and that “its name has been changed to ‘Aabeer Gulal’.”

    The movie will not have an official release in India. Instead, it will follow the distribution model of the Indian Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3, meaning it will be released worldwide but not in India.

    Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani superstar Hania Aamir starred in Sardaar Ji 3, which was also not released in India. Despite the ban, the film broke several records, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film in Pakistan.

    According to media reports, the film, made on a budget of around Rs 48 crore, collected approximately Rs 480 crore at the global box office.

    IPL-winning cricketer banned from playing after rape allegations

    Indian cricketer and fast bowler Yash Dayal has been banned from participating in domestic cricket after a woman accused him of raping her. 

    Dayal will not be part of the third edition of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, which is scheduled to begin on August 17. He was set to play for Gorakhpur Lions, but his contract is halted, for now. 

    The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has confirmed the ban, stating that Dayal will not be seen in action in the upcoming tournament.

    On June 21, a woman lodged a complaint against the RCB fast bowler, alleging that he cheated on her in a relationship that lasted five years. She claimed he promised to marry her but later backed out, causing her both emotional and physical harm. She also accused him of sexual assault and registered a police report against the 27-year-old.

    In a separate incident, another FIR was filed in Jaipur by a 17-year-old girl who alleged that she was sexually abused by the cricketer when she was a minor. She claimed the abuse continued for two years and that she was emotionally blackmailed with promises of help in starting her cricket career.

    A local court has denied the player interim protection, with Justice Sudesh Bansal setting the next hearing for August 22.

  • Create Realistic Voiceovers Without Speaking Using AI Editor

    Create Realistic Voiceovers Without Speaking Using AI Editor

    CapCut Web has made it simple and more professional to create voiceovers without needing to speak. With this platform, you can create natural and captivating voiceovers in a human-like voice. CapCut Web will provide the means to maintain high-quality narration, even if you prefer not to speak in your videos. The thoughts conveyed in writing can be turned into verbal conversations that seem real and intimate. Whether you’re camera-shy or need a quicker workflow, this method suits all types of content requirements.

    The Emergence of AI Voiceover Tools in Content Creation

    The need to avoid personal recording is increasingly being demanded in voiceovers. Marketers, educators, and content creators may sometimes require narration without recording their voices. CapCut addresses this need by offering its AI video editor, which makes the process easier. It is a solution that eliminates the accessibility/quality divide in a way that transforms written text to realistic audio. You will be able to target a larger audience without using professional recording devices or learning how to sing. The technical aspects are left to the AI video editor, allowing you to focus on delivering valuable content.

     

    Writing the Best AI Narration Script

    Good voiceovers start with well-written and clear scripts. Write in your style to sound natural in your narration by writing as you talk. Make sentences short and sharp. Avoid using jargon; instead, aim for clarity and smooth flow. Check out the CapCut Web AI script generator that will assist you in transforming ideas into organized material. All you need to do is enter your topic and key points, and the platform will generate a relevant script. This renders your voiceovers more interesting and adaptable to a variety of content types.

    How to Choose the Best AI Voice for Your Content

    CapCut Web offers a variety of voice styles and tones. Every voice possesses its own unique rhythm, pitch, and emotional background, allowing you to tailor the sound to the purpose of your video. Learning video usually goes well with quiet, audible voices. An excited tone is attention-getting when it comes to a product sales pitch or product demo. Expressive and dynamic voices are useful in entertainment content. The message, delivered with the appropriate voice, sounds natural and suits the tone of your video. When trying various things, experiment with different voices and settle on one.

    The On-Screen AI Voiceovers and Assets Alignment

    Timing is a requirement to professional-looking videos. Match your voiceovers with certain slides, text effects, or visual communications. This will allow the audience to remain attentive and allow the trail to be followed. CapCut Web enables you to place voice clips exactly in each scene. You can insert transitions that facilitate the flow of information. Presentation of visuals to accompany narration enhances comprehension and viewer memory. This is particularly essential in tutorials, product tutorials, or learning videos where clarity is of utmost importance.

     

    How to Make the Voiceover Sound Real and Relatable

    To capture viewers, voiceovers must be natural. CapCut Web allows you to change pitch, speed, and emotion of the AI-generated voice. One can alter the delivery to suit the situation in every scene. The slower tempo offers a richness, and emotional timbre gives a personal touch. Pauses enhance the flow and make speech more natural. Even background sounds can be layered to increase reality. Some text to audio free platforms have not been known to provide this level of detail, and CapCut Web offers depth in voice modulation.

    You can also perform additional customization by accessing the voice changer feature. This enables you to adjust voice features further, providing you with tonal leeway and personality. Whether you are recording a documentary or creating a product review, this tool makes your audio shine. Adjustments will help your voice align with your visual content and the audience’s expectations.

     

    Make Videos Talk Without Your Voice

    Step 1: Generate Script


    Begin by clicking the “Script” section. Add your “Topic” and include all the “Key points” you want covered. The AI writer builds a natural-sounding script that delivers your message clearly, without you needing to speak. Review the generated script and adjust if needed. Then click the “Create” button to proceed.

    Step 2: Create a video

    Open the “Scenes” tab to sync voiceover with your new script. If you’re skipping avatars, jump directly to the “Voice” tab. Choose a voice that fits your tone and hit “Apply for all scenes” for consistency. You can still enhance the viewing experience with moving text styles using the “Captions” option. Then, enrich the mood with background audio by selecting a track from the “Music” tab.

     

    Step 3: Export or Edit more

    Watch the full video playback to confirm everything fits. If you’re happy with the result, click “Export” to download it. If you’d like more control over visuals, sound, or effects, choose “Edit more” and dive into CapCut’s full creative toolkit.

    Conclusion

    CapCut Web gives you the ability to create professional voiceovers without ever speaking. By using AI-generated narration, personalized voices, and flexible editing tools, you can sound clear, engaging, and authentic. From script generation to final video export, every feature supports realistic voiceover creation.

  • Operation if terrorist refuse to vacate Bajaur, security officials give options to jirga

    Operation if terrorist refuse to vacate Bajaur, security officials give options to jirga

    Security forces have offered tribal jirgas options for negotiations with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reportedly mingling with civilians in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Bajaur.

    According to The News, the first option for the tribal jirgas is that the Khawarij leave Bajaur; the second is that the tribes vacate the area to allow an operation to eliminate them.

    Citing security sources, the report said government-level talks with the Khawarij and their facilitators have been rejected, with officials insisting there will be no negotiations until they fully submit to the state.

    The report added that deliberate attempts are being made to blur the differences between the tribes and the Khawarij in Bajaur, though the ground realities are different. The Khawarij are allegedly using negotiations as a smokescreen to prepare for war, living among civilians while committing terrorist and criminal acts.

    Meanwhile, KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, along with security officials, has presented three points to the tribes:

    These Khawarij, most of whom are Afghan natioanls, should be expelled from the area.

    If the tribes cannot expel the Khawarij themselves, they should vacate the area for one or two days so that security forces can bring them to their end.

    If both these steps are not possible, maximum efforts will be made to avoid harm to ordinary citizens, because the operation against terrorists will continue in any case.

    The outlet quoted security sources as saying it has been made clear that only the state holds the authority to carry out any armed action. They added that Pakistan witnessed 600 terrorist attacks in 2024, all with financial and operational support from the Afghan Taliban.

  • ‘If I made a mistake, forgive me’: Asim Azhar’s on-stage words to Hania Aamir spark reunion rumors

    ‘If I made a mistake, forgive me’: Asim Azhar’s on-stage words to Hania Aamir spark reunion rumors

    Pakistan’s entertainment world is buzzing about a possible reunion between actress Hania Aamir and singer-actor Asim Azhar. 

    The speculation began after the two were spotted at a star-studded launch event in Karachi for the energy drink Revive. Asim Azhar was among the performing artists, while Hania Aamir attended as one of the brand’s ambassadors.

    Asim lit up the stage with his hit songs, while Hania, dressed in a white dress and sunglasses, danced joyfully in the front row alongside friends and fellow actors Yashma Gill and Komal Meer. Viral clips show her swaying to Asim’s tunes, smiling, and clapping.

    The moment that truly caught fans’ attention came about when Asim told the audience, “This is not just a concert, but a personal experience very close to my heart. If I have made a mistake, please forgive me.”

    Hania was seen responding with applause and a small bow, a gesture many interpreted as her accepting the apology.

    In another viral video, Asim is seen stepping down from the stage to shake Hania’s hand, a moment that instantly fueled rumors of reconciliation.

    The buzz grew further after fans noted the timing, as reports recently surfaced about the end of Asim’s engagement to Merab Ali. 

    Social media users are now convinced that the former couple has forgiven each other and decided to move forward. Whether this is the start of a new chapter for ‘Hansim’ remains to be seen, but the public is certainly watching.
