Mumbai, September 7 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recalled a hilarious fan encounter involving megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The actor revealed how his starstruck house help once ended up spilling four glasses of water on the megastar's kurta. Akshay shared the amusing anecdote while appearing on the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside his Haiwaan co-star Saif Ali Khan. The incident took place when Bachchan had once visited Akshays home in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, during the actors stay there. Recalling the incident, Akshay told Bachchan, Sir, aapko yaad hai jab aap mere ghar pe aaye the? Main Lokhandwala ki baat kar raha hoon, jab main wahan rehta tha. (Sir, do you remember when you came to my house? I am talking about Lokhandwala, when I used to live there.) He then narrated how a house help had been asked to offer water to Bachchan. Jo mera ghar kaam karte hain, unhone inko paani dena tha. Toh paani dene ke liye teen-chaar glass pade the. Mujhe achhi tarah se yaad hain, Sir ne kurta pehna tha aur woh ladka Allahabad ka tha. (The person who worked at my house had to give you some water. There were three or four glasses kept there. I remember it very clearly. Sir was wearing a kurta and that boy was from Allahabad.) Akshay said the house help was so overwhelmed at seeing Bachchan that he could barely process what was happening. Woh inko dekhkar, matlab vishwas nahi hua ki main Amitabh ji ko ek glass paani de raha hoon. Toh woh paani leke aaya. Paani leke aaya, chaar glass the aur woh chaaron ke chaar glass unhone inke kurte par phenk diya, kyunki woh dekh hi nahi saka. (He looked at you and simply couldnt believe that he was actually giving Amitabh ji a glass of water. So he came over with the water. There were four glasses, and he ended up throwing all four glasses on your kurta because he was so stunned that he couldnt even see properly.) The anecdote left Bachchan, Saif and filmmaker Priyadarshan, who was present in the audience, in splits. Akshay went on to recall how Bachchans height meant that he had to lend him his own kurta after the mishap. Ab main yeh soch raha hoon ki abhi kya ho gaya. Sir obviously bahut lambe hain, toh mujhe apna kurta dena pada taaki yeh unke shirt ke hisaab se aa sakein. Toh mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai. Woh ladke ka naam yaad nahi aa raha hai. (I was thinking, what has happened? Sir is obviously very tall, so I had to give you my kurta so that it would fit you. I remember that very clearly. I just cant remember that boys name now) Talking about Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, the two have shared screen space in the movie, Waqt which also starred Boman Irani, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Rajpal Yadav. They essayed the role of father and son in the movie.

Saharanpur mosque row escalates: BJP says legal action, Oppn alleges Constitutional violation (Lead)
Saharanpur, Sep 5 (IANS) A mosque demolished by the Uttar Pradesh administration at the Saharanpur Collectorate on Saturday has triggered a political confrontation. While the Opposition leaders are questioning the legality and timing of the action, the BJP maintained that the demolition was carried out strictly in accordance with law after the courts rejected the Muslim sides appeal. The administration demolished the structure after the City Magistrate had declared it an illegal construction on government land within the Collectorate premises. A subsequent appeal by the mosque committee was dismissed by the District and Sessions Court, paving the way for the demolition. Heavy security was deployed around the complex, with personnel from the police, Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) stationed in the area. DIG Abhishek Singh said the action was being carried out in accordance with the City Magistrates order, which had been upheld after the mosque committees appeal was rejected. The demolition, however, quickly became a political flashpoint in western Uttar Pradesh. Congress MP Imran Masood alleged that the action violated constitutional and legal safeguards. He argued that the mosque had existed for decades and claimed that land records, Waqf registration and the principle of Waqf by User had not been adequately considered. Masood said the matter would be challenged before the Allahabad High Court and the Supreme Court. Samajwadi Party MP Iqra Hasan, who was stopped from travelling to Saharanpur and placed under house arrest, called the demolition shameful. She alleged that authorities had acted hastily without giving the Muslim side adequate time to pursue legal remedies. Invoking the Places of Worship Act and Waqf by User, she said the action amounted to a mockery of law and order. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also condemned the demolition, saying those who disrespect other faiths cannot claim to be true followers of Sanatan Dharma. He invoked the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and accused the government of giving the issue a communal colour. BSP supremo Mayawati urged the Yogi Adityanath government to immediately stop what she described as the hurried demolition of mosques declared illegal. She called for alternative measures to resolve such disputes and stressed that a constitutional, secular government must protect religious places and maintain harmony. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi questioned whether constitutional guarantees of religious freedom still applied to Muslims. He claimed records existed showing the mosques long-standing presence and said the matter should not be settled through bulldozers. The BJP, however, rejected the political framing of the controversy. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said government agencies were acting according to law and that structures should be judged on whether they are legal or illegal, rather than through their religious identity. With rival political narratives now firmly in place, the Saharanpur demolition has emerged as a fresh flashpoint over religious freedom, property rights, due process and the use of administrative powers in Uttar Pradesh, said political analysts.

High Court Quashes NSA Detention Of DU Law Student Over Noida Protest, Officials To Pay 5 Lakh
Allahabad High Court has quashed the NSA detention of DU law student and labour activist Aakriti Chaudhary, calling the states case a concocted story and ordering 5 lakh compensation, to be recovered from officials salaries from the SHO to the District Magistrate. Aakriti was arrested on April 12, a day before Noidas workers protest turned violent. Police accused her of instigating arson and stone-pelting, but failed to produce the alleged video evidence before court. The bench also flagged serious procedural lapses in her arrest and preventive-detention notices. Aakriti remains in jail because she faces 11 FIRs across five Noida police stations and has secured bail in only five.
