Actor Aamir Khan and his wife Gauri Spratt are reportedly looking for a new home after having to move out of their Union Park residence in Mumbai due to redevelopment. The couple, who had recently settled into a rented apartment, are now expected to shift to another suburban property as the redevelopment of Aamirs Pali Hill building moves forward. According to a report by Free Press Journal, Aamir moved out of his Union Park residence around a year and a half ago and shifted to a temporary rented apartment on Nargis Dutt Road. The property is located close to the residences of actors Sanjay Dutt and Emraan Hashmi. It was also at this rented home that Aamir and Gauri reportedly tied the knot on July 5 this year. Meanwhile, the actor and his wife are also set to own a penthouse in a high-rise building that is currently under construction at the site of their permanent Union Park residence. However, another residential arrangement has become necessary as Aamirs Pali Hill building, where he had been renting four apartments, has reportedly finalised a redevelopment deal. As a result, the actor and his extended family will have to vacate the premises. The report further states that Aamir and Gauri are likely to move into another rented apartment in a Mumbai suburb by the end of this year or early next year. A source quoted by the publication revealed that their upcoming rented home is currently undergoing a makeover to suit the actors preferences and lifestyle. The property is reportedly being given a stylish makeover before the couple moves in. Aamir and Gauri's relationship also has a long history. The two first met around 25 years ago through Aamirs cousin, Nuzhat Khan, but eventually lost touch. They reconnected years later and took their relationship forward. The couple initially chose to keep their relationship private before making their first public appearance together during Aamirs 60th birthday celebrations in March 2025. On the professional front, Aamir Khan has projects lined up, including Lalkaara and 3 Idiots sequel.

Actor, lyricist and writer Swanand Kirkire is set to return to the stage with Yo Brother, This Is 95 - A Musical, a play written and directed by him, which is slated to premiere at the Prithvi Theatre Festival. Set in small-town India in 1995, during the early years of economic liberalisation, the musical revisits a period when the country's aspirations were evolving and consumer culture was beginning to influence everyday life. The play follows a group of young door-to-door vacuum cleaner salespeople trying to earn a living in a rapidly changing environment. As corporate ambitions, sales targets and incentives become part of their everyday lives, the characters find themselves navigating the gap between their dreams of a better future and the pressures of a system that increasingly measures success through numbers and performance. Blending music, satire, dark humour and folk influences, Yo Brother, This Is 95 - A Musical explores the transition between traditional values and modern aspirations. Through an ensemble-driven narrative, the production looks at the compromises people make to survive, the emotional cost of ambition and the growing pressure to prove their worth in a competitive environment. An ordinary household appliance, the vacuum cleaner, plays an important role in the story, serving both as a source of comedy and a metaphor for a society undergoing change. As the salespeople visit different households, they encounter people with varying desires, insecurities and expectations, offering a glimpse into the changing mindset of a nation adapting to a new economic reality. The narrative also examines the emergence of a performance-driven culture, where productivity, targets and measurable achievements increasingly shape perceptions of personal success. Speaking about the production, Swanand Kirkire said, Yo Brother, This Is 95 comes from a time in India when the idea of success was beginning to change. We were entering a new world of aspirations, opportunities and consumerism, where words like targets, incentives and growth were becoming part of everyday conversations. I find it fascinating how these changes, which may have seemed purely economic at the time, gradually began influencing our relationships, our ambitions and the way we measured ourselves and others. Through the lives of these young salespeople, we are trying to explore that shift with humour, music and a little bit of discomfort. The vacuum cleaner becomes more than just an object in the play; it represents a society trying to sell, buy and reinvent itself. At its heart, this is a story about ordinary people, their dreams and the compromises they make along the way. I am delighted to bring this musical to the stage and be part of the Prithvi Theatre Festival, a space that has always celebrated the spirit of live performance and meaningful storytelling. The musical features an ensemble cast comprising Swanand Kirkire, stand-up comedian Aakash Gupta, Garima Diwakar, Chinmay Chandraunshuh, Isha Pandey, Abhishek Kaushal, Ravi Mahashabde, Aisha Chauhan, Sanjjeeve Wilson, Chakori Dwivedi, Apsara Khan and Chinmaya Sharma. Through its combination of music, humour and social commentary, Yo Brother, This Is 95 - A Musical revisits an important phase in India's economic and cultural journey while drawing parallels with the pressures of contemporary life. The production looks back at a time when the meaning of success was changing and raises a question that continues to remain relevant: what happens when dreams turn into targets and a person's worth is measured by performance?

Bollywood stuntwoman and stunt director Geeta Tandon has called out the production team of India Ke Top 1% over what she described as a deeply disappointing experience on the sets of the Star Plus reality show. In a detailed social media post, Tandon alleged that she and her son were made to wait for nearly nine hours despite being invited to appear on the show as guests. She also addressed host Anil Kapoor, Farah Khan and the show's production company, Banijay Asia, raising concerns about the way they were allegedly treated. Hosted by Anil Kapoor, India Ke Top 1% is a game show featuring around 100 participants competing for prize money of up to Rs. 1 crore. The show airs on Star Plus and also streams on JioHotstar. Tandon said she had agreed to appear on the programme without any payment, believing it would offer her some visibility. However, she alleged that the experience left her feeling disrespected. Opening her post, she wrote, 20 years in this industry. And yesterday, I was reminded how little respect people working behind the scenes are sometimes given. Explaining how she came to be on the sets, Tandon said, My name is Geeta Tandon. I have worked in the film and television industry for over two decades, as a body double for some of the biggest actresses in the country and as a stunt director. I have dedicated years of my life to this profession, often working behind the camera, and I have always taken immense pride in what I do. Yesterday, I was invited to appear as a guest on the show India Ke Top 1%, to interact with Anil Kapoor, along with my son. According to Tandon, the production team had repeatedly followed up with her for the appearance. She claimed that she gave up a day's work and even called her son back from Goa specifically for the shoot. Recalling the events of the day, she said she reached the set at 12:30 PM and was informed that her segment would be filmed within a few hours. However, the wait allegedly continued through the day, with little communication from the team. She further alleged that she and her son were made to sit in a tent without proper updates or clarity about when they would be called. Tandon said that when she eventually confronted the production team, she was met with another response that she found unacceptable. Recalling the exchange, she wrote, The production manager, Jaydeep, responded, If they want to leave, let them leave. But they can't leave without signing. Signing what? And why should anyone be made to feel that they cannot leave after being kept waiting all day? Tandon claimed that she and her son eventually left the set at 9:15 PM, after spending nearly nine hours there. Emphasising that the appearance was unpaid, she said the least she expected was basic courtesy and respect for their time. Addressing Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan, she clarified that she did not know how much they were aware of the alleged incident and was not suggesting that they had personally instructed anyone to treat them that way. However, she wanted them to know about the experience of guests invited to the show. Concluding her post, Tandon highlighted the larger issue of how professionals working behind the scenes are treated in the entertainment industry. She wrote, The person standing behind the camera deserves the same dignity as the person standing in front of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geeta Tandon (@geetastunt) She also dedicated her post to stunt professionals, junior artists, body doubles, technicians, background performers and other guests, reiterating that respect should not depend on someone's celebrity status. At the time of writing, the allegations shared by Geeta Tandon had not been accompanied by a response from the show's production team, Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor or Farah Khan.

Cabinet approves Rs 2,814 crore scheme to promote critical mineral processing
New Delhi, Nov 4: The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the Capex Support Scheme to Promote Critical Mineral Processing with a financial outlay of Rs.2,814 crore over a period of five years. Processing of critical minerals remains geographically concentrated in a few global locations. This exposes supply chains to geopolitical disruptions, price volatility, and potential supply restrictions, posing severe threats to supply chain resilience and economic security. This has implications for national security, economic sovereignty, and the timely achievement of decarbonisation targets. At present, India remains substantially dependent on imports for refined intermediates and high-purity materials, owing to the nascent stage of domestic beneficiation and processing infrastructure for critical minerals, including Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt. Domestic processing capacity for critical minerals remains limited, with commercial-scale projects facing challenges relating to high capital requirements, limited availability of suitable technologies and constrained access to raw materials. Domestic processing capacity is therefore imperative for maximising value addition, achieving import substitution, and establishing resilient end-to-end value chains. Against this backdrop, the Capex Support Scheme to Promote Critical Mineral Processing has been formulated to provide targeted capital expenditure support for the establishment and operationalisation of domestic processing facilities. The scheme aims to develop domestic processing capabilities in India to support value addition within the country, reduce import dependence, and develop value chain. The scheme targets processing of Lithium and Nickel ores/intermediary products into high purity compounds. Cobalt is also expected to be recovered as a by-product of nickel production. This will support critical sectors such as electric mobility, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), electronics, defence, speciality steel etc. The proposed scheme envisages a total financial outlay of Rs.2,814 crore. The scheme period is from FY 2026-27 to 2030-31. Under the scheme, capital subsidy of 30% of eligible investment will be provided for setting up four critical mineral processing plants, comprising two lithium processing plants (with a minimum capacity of 30 kt each) and two nickel processing plants (with a minimum capacity of 50 kt each). The maximum capital support will be capped at Rs.500 crore per lithium beneficiary and Rs.900 crore per nickel beneficiary, respectively. The selection of beneficiaries shall be carried out through a two-stage process. In the first stage, applications shall be assessed for technical qualification, and only technically qualified applicants shall be eligible to participate in the second stage of financial bidding. For each mineral, two beneficiaries shall be selected based on the least-cost criterion, i.e., the lowest CAPEX support sought by the bidders under the Scheme. The incentives will be disbursed in three tranches linked to the achievement of specified milestones. The Scheme is an important step towards advancing the objectives of Atmanirbhar Bharat by supporting the development of resilient domestic processing infrastructure and strengthening Indias capabilities across the critical mineral value chain.

Mahadev online betting app case: CBI gets 8-day custody of Sourabh Chandrakar
Digital Desk | Raipur, Nov 4 (IANS) A CBI court in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on Wednesday granted eight days of custodial remand of Sourabh Chandrakar, the main accused in the Mahadev online betting app case, to the Central Bureau of Investigation. The court accepted the CBIs request for remand during his production hearing. The agencys team will now take him to Delhi for interrogation at its headquarters. He is required to be produced before the court again on November 12. Officials and lawyers from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) were also present during the CBIs arguments. The ED has separately sought Chandrakar's remand. His counsel, Tushar Giri, opposed the CBIs remand plea, calling it improper. Heavy police deployment and heightened security were arranged around the court campus in view of the hearing. Chandrakar, a prime accused in the alleged multi-crore betting scam estimated at around Rs 6,000 crore, was flown to Raipur from Delhi by a CBI team on Tuesday. The agency brought him to India after his extradition from Oman. On Monday, a Delhi court at Rouse Avenue granted two days transit remand and handed him over to the CBI. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the key accused has been brought back and that CBI questioning may yield several more names. He targeted the Congress, alleging that the party had undermined democracy for its own interests and is now speaking of democratic values. Congress state president Deepak Baij, addressing a press conference, noted that while Chandrakar has been brought to India, co-accused Ravi Uppal and Shubham Soni remain at large. He questioned the whereabouts of Soni, who had released a video related to the Mahadev app during the 2023 elections. Baij claimed that more than 72 FIRs were registered in the matter during the previous Congress government, along with raids and arrests. Earlier, Chandrakars lawyer raised questions about the extradition process, citing the court order in Oman. He argued that Indias request to Oman had received approval only for the ED case and not the CBI case, and that action could therefore be taken only in the matters on the basis of which he was extradited. The CBI is investigating the Mahadev betting app cases. The Chhattisgarh government had transferred 13 FIRs to the agency; charge sheets have already been filed in two of them. The ED is also probing the money-laundering angle and has filed a prosecution complaint against Chandrakar. According to the CBI, Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal, and their associates promoted the app, created multiple platforms for online betting, and channelled the proceeds through various bank accounts to the UAE. Chandrakar had been absconding in Dubai since 2023. An Interpol Red Corner Notice was issued against him. He was arrested by Omans Royal Police on July 8 and brought to India on November 1 after 116 days.
