Sharmila Tagore has claimed ownership of the property as the wife of Tiger Pataudi who, as the grandson of the last Nawab of Bhopal Hamidullah Khan, was heir to the royal estate. Tiger Pataudi, one of India's finest cricketers, died in 2011.

The disputed property is named Dar-us-Salam was formerly the official residence of Justice Salamuddin Khan, erstwhile chief justice of the princely state of Bhopal, reports news agency.

"A couple of months back, Sharmila Tagore had claimed ownership on the land of Dar-us-Salam, a residential property in Koh-e-Fiza, and urged to get this property evicted.

 We have now served the notices to the present occupants - Azam Khan and Nawab Raza - to furnish their replies. These persons were named by her," Ajay Pratap Singh Patel, Tehsildar of the Bairagarh circle, said.

Azam Khan, who is believed to have put the property on sale citing a deed from the Nawab of Bhopal that allegedly gifted the estate to Justice Salamuddin Khan's family, claimed not to have received the notice. "I have not received any notice so far. I cannot talk more," he said.

Sharmila Tagore is best known for her performance in Satyajit Ray's films such as Devi and Bollywood hits like Kashmir Ki Kali.

She won the National Award for Best Actress for 1975 film Mausam and the Best Supporting Actress award for Goutam Ghose's 2003 film Abar Aranye. Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi have three children - son Saif and daughters Soha and Saba.

Mumbai, May 10: Nearly a month after recovering from the coronavirus, actor Zoa Morani says she has donated her blood plasma to do her bit in helping the patients currently suffering from the novel virus. The actor, who was quarantined and kept under medication in April, also urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate their plasma.

"Donated my blood today for the Plasma therapy trials at Nair hospital. It was fascinating! Always a silver lining I suppose. The team there was so enthusiastic and careful. There was a general physician on standby just incase of emergency and the equipment brand new and safe (sic)," Zoa wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

She thanked the doctors for taking care of her and hoped patients benefit from the donation.

"All #Covid19 recovered people can be a part of this trial, to help others covid patients recover! I hope this works #IndiaFightsCorona. They even gave me a certificate and Rs 500. Wont lie, I felt super cool today (sic)," she added.

Zoa, along with her sister Shaza and father, producer Karim Morani had tested positive for coronavirus in April. All three were discharged from the hospital after testing negative last month.
