Indian actor and wildlife conservationist Randeep Hooda has been granted relief from MP High Court, Jabalpur after the initiation of joint spot inspection enquiry for the allegation of illegal construction on the land owned by Hooda in Kanha National Park. Additionally, Hooda’s legal team has issued a defamation notice of Rs. 80 crores against the SDM for false and defamatory accusations.

Post the success of his latest film Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, actor-director and wildlife conservationist Randeep Hooda fulfilled his dream of purchasing a property near a forest by investing in a piece of land next to a jungle in Madhya Pradesh adjoining the Kanha National Park. However, soon after the same, revenue authorities ordered the actor to remove alleged construction on Randeep Hooda’s land. Reiterating to the same, Hooda filed a plea for joint spot inspection, claiming there has been no construction on his land.

Offering relief to Hooda, the MP Court, although declined to interfere straightaway with the show cause notice, granted the major relief in form of ordering joint enquiry in spot inspection in which Mr. Hooda or his representatives can participate and point to authorities on spot regarding the factum that there is no construction on his land and further has directed the authorities to supply the old report that was prepared behind ex parte.

Randeep Hooda’s lawyers Vineet Dhanda and Siddharth Sharma said in a statement, “It is unfortunate that a respectable citizen and an avid nature lover like Shri Randeep Hooda has been subjected to a false allegations such as this for cheap popularity, because of his profession as an actor. Moreover the inquiry report on which the impugned show cause notice was based, was also not provided. We are thankful to the honourable court for providing a fair opportunity to let the truth prevail, and also for ordering to supply the old report, which was earlier denied. We are hopeful that the joint spot inspection will prove there has been not a single brick laid on Mr. Hooda’s land.”

Vineet Dhanda further shared, “It is a victory for us as the court has not only directed a re-inspection of the case, but also allowed us to raise concerns of the inspection post the new results. When the new report comes in, it would be clear there had been no construction on Shri Randeep Hooda’s land, after which we would upheld our defamation case for wrongfully accusing our client.”

Being an avid nature lover, conservationist as acknowledged by the UN as well as Indian Government, and a wildlife photographer, Randeep Hooda had always desired to buy a land in the forest. Followed by the release of his recent film SwatantryaVeer Savarkar, the actor took a major step towards fulfilling his dream jungle abode by investing in this property.

Singer Daler Mehndi is gearing up for the release of his latest track, ‘Ankhiyan Te Ja Ladiyan.’ Fresh off his electrifying performance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, Mehndi sets his sights on July 25 as the release date for this much-anticipated song.

‘Ankhiyan Te Ja Ladiyan’ promises a unique blend of traditional Punjabi sounds and contemporary flair. According to a report in Mid-day, the song incorporates the captivating rhythms of the Balochi dhol, a welcome departure from the typical Punjabi dhol. Mehndi, who also composed the number, emphasizes the song’s positive message. “The aspect that I like about this number is that it doesn’t make any references to alcohol or abusive language. The lyrics have been tactfully penned,” he tells the publication.

“It has a pure Punjabi vibe,” he explains. “I wanted it to be reminiscent of old, [traditional] numbers, and to ensure that it did not appear like a copy of any past work. It has all the flavours that have been associated with my music.”

The song is the culmination of eight years of creative exploration, with Mehndi collaborating with the acclaimed Qawwali veterans, Ustad Sher Ali and Ustad Mehr Ali, for a period of eight months. “At the age of 75, their vocal quality is laudable,” Mehndi says. “I needed to join hands with artistes who could [render] a song like they did.”

“When I made music 30 years ago, I created those melodies,” he reflects. “It wasn’t ‘Punjabi music’. It was Daler Mehndi’s music. I am glad that my songs continue to be cherished over the years, and also be consumed by the next generation.”

Building on the success of the original, a sequel titled Sardaar Ji 2 hit theatres in 2016. This time, Dosanjh took on a triple role, showcasing his acting versatility. Monica Gill and Sonam Bajwa joined the cast, and both films were directed by Rohit Jugraj Chauhan.

Kiran Rao has expressed happiness following her divorce from Aamir Khan. Rao revealed in a recent interview that their divorce was a difficult decision to make, but she is glad they did. Aamir and Kiran declared their split in July 2021.

“It’s been a very happy divorce,” Rao said during an interview with Faye D’Souza and added, “I feel relationships need to be redefined from time to time because we change as human beings as we grow. We need different things and this (divorce) is what I felt would make me happy and has made me very happy, honestly.”

She said, “Before Aamir, I was single for a very long time. I really enjoyed my independence. I was lonely, but now I have Azad (her son), so I tend not to be lonely. I think loneliness is the only thing that most people are a bit worried about when they get divorced or lose a partner. I haven’t felt lonely at all. In fact, I am supported by both families, his family and mine. So, actually, it has been only good stuff. It’s been a very happy divorce.”

However, Kiran said that terminating their 15-year marriage wasn’t easy for any of them. The Laapataa Ladies director stated that the Bollywood actor “took a while to get there emotionally and mentally. “Rao further expressed that she knew that she would survive the divorce because she wanted “independent, individual time to myself and my life.”

Kiran Rao continued by stating that, while she and Aamir had split ways, they do not require a document to describe their relationship. She said, “There’s a lot of love, lot of respect, there’s a lot of shared history, shared laughs, shared ideology, there’s lots of things that we look for in each other. So, I didn’t want to lose that. When I was secure enough to say, ‘Yeah, we don’t need the paper to say that we are married but we know what we mean to each other’… This is a partnership which will stand the test of time despite the divorce.”

After a year of filming, director Shashi Ranjan has finally wrapped up the docu-series chronicling the remarkable journey of the Roshan family in Bollywood. Spanning over four to five episodes, the series promises a captivating exploration of the Roshans’ enduring influence on Indian cinema.

According to a report in Mid-day, the narrative takes us back to 1948, when a young and ambitious Roshan (the family patriarch) arrived in Bombay. With his exceptional talent, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the most successful music composers of his era. We then witness the baton being passed down, with Rakesh Roshan, Roshan’s son, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in both acting and directing.

The docu-series doesn’t shy away from the present either. A significant focus is on Hrithik Roshan, the current superstar and grandson of the legendary Roshan. We’ll see his meteoric rise to fame, starting with the phenomenal success of his debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000). But the series goes beyond just box office triumphs. It delves into the challenges and personal struggles the family has faced, including Rakesh Roshan’s battle with throat cancer. This unflinching portrayal promises a well-rounded perspective on their journey.

To capture this multi-faceted story, director Ranjan has spoken extensively with a diverse range of individuals. This includes not only the Roshans themselves, but also their close collaborators and friends. We can expect to hear from veteran actors like Jeetendra and Rekha, who shared the screen with the Roshans in their earlier days. Contemporary superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra also lend their voices.

Furthermore, the series acknowledges the long-standing bond between the Roshans and another of Bollywood’s most prominent families – the Kapoors.  It delves into the nitty-gritty of filmmaking as well. Sham Kaushal, a mainstay action director in many of Rakesh Roshan’s films, is confirmed to be part of the interviewee list. His perspective will shed light on the creative process behind some of the Roshans’ most iconic action sequences.

Roshan Lal Nagrath aka Roshan was born in Gujranwala in present-day Pakistan in 1917. He arrived in Mumbai (then Bombay) and established a career in the Hindi film industry as a music composer. He did a lot of films in the 1950s and 1960s. His son Rakesh Roshan started his career in acting and then turned to filmmaking and continues to make films. His second son Rajesh Roshan is a music composer. Their son Hrithik Roshan is one of the biggest stars of Bollywood.
