Hemant Soren’s ‘Sheesh Mahal’ moment? Plan to build Rs 69-crore CM residence triggers political row in Jharkhand | India News

The proposed construction of a Chief Minister’s residence, estimated to cost Rs 68.91 crore, has triggered a political row in Jharkhand, with the BJP alleging extravagance and the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) defending it as a necessary infrastructure project. The BJP has claimed that Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s proposed residence could become one of the costliest in the country, second only to the one in Telangana.

The last date for submission of bids is April 29, and the bids will be opened on April 30. While the estimated cost of the construction comes to less than Rs 69 crore as per …

Veerana’s Jasmine Dhunna vanished after delivering her biggest hit that terrified India; co-star Hemant Birje solved the 37-year mystery | Bollywood News

They say sometimes your greatest strength can turn into your biggest threat. For actress Jasmine Dhunna, her beauty and sudden fame allegedly became both. Jasmine made her debut at just 13 in 1979 with Sarkari Mehmaan, opposite Vinod Khanna, who was 33 at the time. The film failed at the box office. Years later, at 18, she appeared in Divorce — but that too could not make an impact. With two unsuccessful films behind her, her career seemed uncertain. Then came the boldest decision of her life. In 1988, Jasmine signed the Ramsay Brothers’ horror film Veerana. At a time when horror films were often dismissed as C-grade cinema and no mainstream actresses were willing to associate with them, this was considered a risky move. But the Ramsay Brothers were masters of their genre — and Jasmine took the gamble. A Poster of film VEERANA. Poster She played a stunning, seductive witch — a character that would change her destiny overnight. Made on a modest budget, Veerana turned out to be a massive box office …
