New Delhi, Aug 10: Actress Sharmila Tagore is fighting to reclaim real estate on behalf of the royal family of Bhopal, to whom her late husband Mansoor Ali Khan, the Nawab of Pataudi, was related. The property in dispute is situated in the Koh-e-Fiza neighbourhood of Bhopal and the district administration have sent notices to the current occupants after Ms Tagore, 72, filed a complaint, reports news agency.

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.

It is reportedly occupied currently by Azam Khan, husband of Justice Salamuddin Khan's granddaughter Mahira, who is now deceased.

Sharmila Tagore's complaint has accused Azam Khan and associate Syed Nawab Raza of trespassing, forging documents, breaking and entering, and robbing the house of antiques and other valuables, reports. "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, Jan 7: Actor Anil Kapoor, who next will be seen onscreen in Malang, revealed that he always tells superstar Aamir Khan not to stop working with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.

Kapoor was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of Malang along with his co-actors Adtiya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Elli AvRam, film's director Mohit Suri and producers Luv Ranjan, Bhushan Kumar, Ankur Garg and Jay Shewakraman on Monday in Mumbai.

Anil Kapoor has worked with many directors and producers in his 40-year acting career.

Talking about camp culture in the Hindi film industry and praising makers of Malang, Kapoor said, "I feel we need producers like Ankur (Garg) and Luv (Ranjan). I have told Mohit (Suri) to continue doing films with them. I always tell Aamir Khan by calling him on the phone to say that you should not leave Raju Hirani (Rajkumar Hirani). Whenever I see films of both of them, I tell Aamir not to leave him."

He continued, "I feel whenever you make a good team then you should hold on to it. Team is very important and there are certain stars that come together to make something interesting and exciting."

Kapoor gave an example of Hollywood actors and filmmakers while backing his viewpoint.

"If you see Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio they do so many films together. They can work with others, too, but they keep working with each other. There is some magic, obviously. You have to go with the casting but somewhere I feel teams should stand by each other," the actor added.

Malang stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemu in lead roles. It is scheduled to release on February 7.
