Mumbai, Aug 20: Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is once again embroiled in a controversy. This time around it is not for dancing with a lady constable . This time around he has irked his neighbors in Bandra. It is regarding a ramp build by the Badshah for his vanity van outside Mannat. Several resident organisations filed numerous complaints against it. Now the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) chief on Tuesday instructed his team to “initiate action” against the ramp.

As per sources,The controversial ramp that is used to park the Badshah’s vanity van. Residents allege that it stands on public property and blocks access to the stairs that lead to Mount Mary Church from Bandstand. The Watchdog Foundation group wrote to the BMC asking for the ramp to be demolished as it was blocking access to the stairs leading to the church.

Advocate Godfrey Pimenta, a trustee of Watchdog Foundation said , “All we heard from the civic ward office was that they did not have the cadastral survey number of Mannat and hence could not initiate action. We were appalled by this response, which we received recently under the Right to Information Act.The authorities are shying away from taking action against Shah Rukh since he has connections in the right places. Why should we have double standards for illegal constructions — one for Campa Cola and another for an actor?”

The residents wrote to the municipal commissioner and even the chief minister demanding immediate action. Not stopping at that, they held a silent protest march outside Mannat on August 15. They also threatened criminal action if officers designated to initiate action did nothing. The residents’ demand is that the ramp should be demolished before September 8, failing which they will take matters into their own hands.

Reacting to it the municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte wrote to assistant municipal commissioner of H-West Ward and the deputy municipal commissioner of the area asking for action.

Prashant Sapkale, assistant municipal commissioner of H-West Ward said,”I will send my team of engineers to inspect the site and take necessary action. We will have to see if permissions have been granted to construct any structure or ramp on the spot.”

We shall keep you informed on further developments regarding this issue.

New Delhi, Aug 5: Playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam on Wednesday confirmed testing positive for COVID-19 with 'mild' symptoms.

The 74-year-old musician shared the information through a video message posted on his official Facebook page.

In the video, the singer detailed about having a little "discomfort" for two days, stating he had chest congestion along with cold and on-off fever, which led him to get tested for the virus.

However, he also mentioned that he could have stayed at home in self-quarantine, as advised, but did not want to put his family in danger, and hence got admitted by his own choice, to recover quickly.

"I am in good hand, I am in good health. Nobody has to worry about this. The fever has subsided, and in two days I'll be discharged and I'll be home. Thanks for the concern," he said in the video message.

Mumbai, Jun 17: A lawyer on Wednesday moved a criminal complaint against 8 persons, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and producer-director Karan Johar, in a local court regarding the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The court had fixed July 3 as the next date of hearing.

In his complaint filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha alleged that these eight persons forced Sushant to commit suicide under a conspiracy which, he pleaded, amounted to murder.

Others named in the complaint are Aditya Chopra, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bhushan Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, and director Dinesh.

The complainant claimed that these persons did not let Sushant's movies get released under a conspiracy and the late actor was not even invited to film functions because of these people.

Ojha said that Sushant Singh Rajput's death had not only hurt the people of Bihar but the entire country.

He said the complaint had been filed under Sections 306, 109, 504 and 506 and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranawat had been listed as a witness in the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput had allegedly committed suicide at his Bandra flat in Mumbai on Sunday.

Washington, Mar 11: Pop star Selena Gomez made some revelations about her personal life in a recent interview.

While explaining the lyrics of her song "Rare" on the 'Genius' YouTube channel, the 27-year-old said that there are times when she feels that she will ever be able to find a suitable partner for herself, reported Fox News.

"Some days when I wake up and I am annoyed and I am like, 'I am going to be alone forever.' But after that 15 minutes go away, I say to myself, 'I know that there is someone for everybody," the singer told in the seven-and-a-half minute long video.

However, she remains optimistic as she is still young and "this isn't the end all be all".

Elaborating upon the chorus of her song, Gomez opened up and said, "self-esteem and confidence is a constant struggle".

"It's getting better with time and age, but it will always be something that I'm working on," she added while explaining the lyrics further.

"So what I think is so important about this chorus is that it's acknowledging, 'Hey, I don't have it all. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I do know that I'm special,' and I think that is a humble approach of saying, 'Why don't you see that I am different?'" the singer added as reported by Fox News.

Touching upon her experiences from past relationships, she commented: "In certain relationships, I've heard and I've experienced and whatnot, I think men and women do it -- especially teenagers and young people in love -- is there's this satisfaction out of hurting someone because you know that they care. Purposefully putting someone down because they want to keep them at a level. I've had someone actually say that to me before".
