Shekhar Kapur’s 1994 film Bandit Queen not only left a lasting impact on Indian cinema but also introduced a generation of actors who would go on to shape the industry. Among them were Manoj Bajpayee and Saurabh Shukla, who, like many others, moved to Mumbai with dreams in their eyes. Recently, Saurabh Shukla revisited those early days in Mumbai. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the actor recalled how he shared a rented apartment with Manoj Bajpayee and a rotating group of aspiring actors from Delhi. “We were living together, Manoj and I. We had rented a room and even paid the rent for an entire year in advance. The two of us were the main partners, and then whoever came from Delhi would just join us,” Saurabh said. He added that filmmaker Vijay Krishna Acharya, fondly called Victor, also moved in with them. “Victor is a very close friend. He was in Bombay at the time, so I told him, ‘Why are you living alone? Come stay with us.’ And he joined us too.” …

Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan recently visited the first home of Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly—a house her father, veteran filmmaker Anil Ganguly, had bought nearly 48 years ago. During the visit, Farah also met Rupali’s mother, Rajini Ganguly, who welcomed her and Dilip warmly with arti, tika, and flowers. The house, a modest two-BHK apartment in Worli, reflects simplicity and nostalgia. Done predominantly in white with brown interiors, it features a long corridor that opens into the bedrooms, dining area, kitchen, and a combined living-cum-sitting space. The living room is especially meaningful, adorned with photographs of Anil Ganguly alongside the many awards he received over his illustrious career. The corridor in the house.

Large number of 2BHK units unallotted across Telangana

A view of the double bedroom housing units constructed at Fasalwadi village in Sangareddy district of Telangana. File photo | Photo Credit: Mohd. Arif Allotment of double bedroom housing units might have been one major factor among others, which had impacted the outcome of recent elections to the Telangana State Legislature. Reliable sources from the State government inform that the requests for free housing under the double-bedroom scheme constitute a sizeable portion of the applications being received under the ‘Praja Vani’ programme daily at Praja Bhavan. Huge discrepancy prevails in terms of the number of 2BHK homes allotted, between the claims of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the actual number handed over to the beneficiaries in the city. As per the State government’s communique before elections, a total of 61,884 units have been handed over to the beneficiaries across various locations in the city so far. A total one lakh housing units were proposed for the city as per the initial concept note, of which over 96,000 were launched at 101 locations. While …

Burglars make the most of the delay in 2BHK allotment

Published by Webster

Theft and vandalism plague the housing colonies constructed in the city under the much-publicised double bedroom housing project of the Telangana government. More than 60,000 housing units at over 40 locations have been completed in all respects and ready for inauguration for close to two years now. The largest among these is the township at Kollur, where 15,660 dwelling units have been constructed in 117 blocks. Next is the one at Rampally, where over 6,000 units are ready. At both locations, burglars and vandals are proving to be a major menace, say officials. At Kollur, underground cable worth ₹2 crore had gone missing, and had to be re-laid. “Steel taps are the easy targets, and attempts to steal them resulted in pipelines getting damaged at several places. We had to replace all the steel taps with plastic ones. Battery sets of generators and parts of elevators too are getting stolen,” shared an official from GHMC. Though GHMC is paying the contractors for engaging security round-the-clock, it is proving futile. “There are 15,660 units, 117 elevators …
