Did Matka King bring Ratan Khatri’s ties with real Bollywood star to life? How Vijay Varma show blends fact with fiction

Did Matka King bring Ratan Khatri’s ties with real Bollywood star to life? How Vijay Varma show blends fact with fiction

Published by Parlour News

Matka King, the newest show from the Prime Video stable, is currently enjoying great success on the platform. It has become the most-watched Indian show on the streamer in the last two years, beating some rather bigger names. A lot of it has been due to the buzz the show generated with its premise – the tale of a gambling baron from when Mumbai was Bombay. And even as the makers have maintained the plot is fictional, the story of Brij Bhatti (the protagonist) borrows heavily from the rise and fall of the original matka king Ratan Khatri. Matka King stars Vijay Varma as the titular gambling baron, modelled after Ratan Khatri. One episode borrowed from Khatri’s life is his love for Bollywood. After he established a fledgling matka business in Bombay in the 60s, Ratan Khatri wanted to diversify his businesses. He began frequenting film sets and even financed several films in the 70s. The show presents one such film, slightly fictionalising the episode, but keeping the real-life inspiration intact. Spoilers for Matka King …

The board of the Sir Ratan Tata Trusts (SRTT) on Saturday did not induct Neville Tata, son of Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata, as a trustee as anticipated, with the meeting being postponed amid uncertainty over the timing of the appointment of the Tata scion. “The meeting was postponed as all trustees were unable to attend. It will be rescheduled shortly,” a Tata Group official said. The SRTT board was scheduled to meet on Saturday to induct Neville Tata as a trustee in line with an earlier plan. “Neville is likely to join the Sir Ratan Tata Trusts as a trustee later this week, subject to the unanimous approval of all trustees,” a senior Tata official had told The Indian Express earlier this week. Tata Trusts did not respond to a mail from The Indian Express. In November 2025, the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) had unanimously approved the induction of Neville Tata and Bhaskar Bhat, former Managing Director and CEO of Titan Company, as trustees for a three-year term beginning November 12.

‘Jab tak main Ratan Tata ya Shah Rukh Khan nahi banunga…’: Expert reflects on Akshaye Khanna’s argument to choose quality work over stardom | Feelings News

Published by Parlour News

Akshaye Khanna has been garnering immense praise for his performance in Dhurandhar, and the admiration isn’t just for his craft—netizens have fallen in love with his humility, too. As many of his older interviews resurface online, one particular video has sparked conversations on self-worth, stardom, and the pressure to stay relevant in an industry driven by visibility. In it, Khanna argues that success should never be measured by comparison or fame, but by the quality of one’s work. He said, “Samjho mai ek businessman hun aur mera 500 crore ka business hai… jab tak mai Ratan Tata ya Shah Rukh Khan nahi banunga, kya main successful nahi hoon? Humare 120 crore ki abaadi mein 15–20 ko mauka milta hai leading man banne ka… aur mujhe 16–17 saal tak kaam mil raha hai apne terms pe.” Akshaye Khanna’s emphasis on self-defined success raises an important question: Is such authenticity sustainable in a world where only the ‘fittest’ seem to survive?

Published by Webster

Sooraj Barjatya`s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo starring Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor revolves around the story of a royal family and how an outsider, Prem, played by Salman, tries to mend the broken bridges of the clan. However, the film failed to appeal to the critics who termed it a “royal pain”. On the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, Sooraj admitted that he doesn’t like the climax of the film and asserted that he could have done it more gracefully.  Sooraj and Salman are similar at the core Speaking about his bond with Salman Khan, Sooraj Barjatya shared, “I don’t go to his party. Our styles are very different but sometimes he says ‘Main agar Rajshri mein paida hota toh main aisa hota’. But at the core, we are both the same. He tells me, ‘Sooraj wohi karte hai, wohi baithte hai, wohi simple life hai, wohi maasi hai’. I went to him with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo`s first version of the script and today we can see through each other. He …

Published by Webster

The upcoming Electronic City in Jagi road, which will host India’s first semiconductor plant, will be named after industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday. The decision, taken during a Cabinet meeting, is to honour Mr Tata, who died on October 9, 2024, the Chief Minister said. According to Mr Sarma, Mr Tata’s decision to set up the semiconductor plant in Assam has been a game changer. “In recognition to the contribution of the Tata group and late Ratan Rata, the state cabinet has decided to name the entire area covering the semiconductor plant, electronic park, and proposed Electronic City township as Ratan Tata Electronic City. If Ratan Tata would not have taken the bold decision to set up a semiconductor plant here, we would not have seen so much interest and response from other top industrialists towards investments in Assam,” Mr Sarma said.
