Shah Rukh Khan Gets Legal Go-Ahead For Mannat Renovation; NGT Dismisses Appeal

Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic sea-facing bungalow Mannat, located in Bandra (West), Mumbai, has received a green signal for its ongoing renovation. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has dismissed an appeal that challenged the approval granted to the project by the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA).

National Green Tribunal Clears Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat Renovation

The appeal was filed by activist Santosh Daundkar, who claimed that the CRZ clearance granted on January 3, 2024, was flawed. However, the NGT found no merit in the complaint and said the appeal was “without force.”

According to the tribunal, the renovation work falls under the CRZ-II zone, which allows construction on the landward side of existing structures. As per the approved plans, two new upper floors (7th and 8th) are being added to the structure, including a duplex apartment and an internal staircase. The updated building will now include two basements, a ground floor, and eight upper floors, reaching a height of 37.54 meters.

The property, located at CTS 859–862 in Bandra H-West, has had BMC approval since November 7, 2024. The tribunal also noted that the petitioner failed to prove any legal or procedural violations.

While renovation work continues, Gauri Khan recently shared that the redesigned home should be ready within a year. In the meantime, Shah Rukh Khan and his family are living in a rented duplex at Pali Hill, paying a reported Rs 24 lakh per month.

Mannat, originally built in 1914 and renamed by SRK in 2001, is not just a house—it’s a symbol of dreams. With a mix of heritage charm and modern luxury, it remains one of India’s most admired celebrity homes.

Lakshmi Manchu Initiates Legal Action Against Journalist Over Body Shaming Allegations

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actor Lakshmi Manchu has taken a strong stance against a senior journalist who allegedly made body-shaming and ageist remarks during a recent interview. The journalist reportedly criticized Lakshmi’s clothing, implying that her choices were inappropriate for a woman in her 40s and a mother.

In response, Lakshmi filed a formal complaint with the Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), demanding accountability and respect. According to a report by Cinemaexpress, she issued a powerful statement condemning the incident. “India is a country that reveres women as Shakti, yet when we step into professional spaces, we are subjected to casual misogyny, humiliation, and disrespect. This cannot continue. I owe it not only to myself but to the many young women who look up to me to call this out.”

Lakshmi emphasized that while she accepts tough questions and public scrutiny as part of her profession, she draws the line at what she calls “cruelty masked as journalism.” She has requested a public apology from the journalist and urged the TFCC to take strict action to prevent such behavior in the future. “Respect is not optional. Accountability is not negotiable,” she declared.

Lakshmki Addressing Industry Bias Against Divorced Women

While promoting her latest thriller, Daksha: A Deadly Conspiracy, Lakshmi also brought attention to the deep-rooted bias against divorced women in the film industry. Speaking to Great Andhra, she highlighted how a well-known actor’s ex-wife has been unofficially blacklisted despite being willing to work.

“There is a superstar’s ex-wife who works here. She got divorced, and since then, even films that were once offered to her have been taken away. People say, ‘Oddu le amma, aina emana antaru emo’ (Let it go, dear. What if her ex says something?). She is waiting to do good work, and I don’t need to name her.”

When the interviewer hinted that she might be referring to Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Lakshmi neither confirmed nor denied it, stating, “You’re thinking it’s Samantha. But there’s not just one superstar; around five to six of them have been divorced. I’m close to all of them. If a man gets divorced, his life doesn’t change. But for a woman, once she marries, has children, takes on in-laws and responsibilities, no one gives us freedom. We have to take it ourselves.”

Lakshmi’s comments highlight the persistent double standards in the entertainment industry, where divorced women often face career setbacks while their male counterparts continue unaffected. Her willingness to speak out has resonated with many who see her as a strong voice for women’s rights in Indian cinema.

 

Currently, Lakshmi is promoting Daksha: A Deadly Conspiracy, a thriller that released on September 20. Her candid interviews and bold statements are not just drawing attention to the film, but also to the larger cultural and professional issues faced by women in the public eye.

Vir Das Says Indian Comedy Faces Legal Threats, Not Just Online Backlash

Vir Das Says Indian Comedy Faces Legal Threats, Not Just Online Backlash

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actor-comedian Vir Das is not one to mince words, especially when it comes to the contrasting realities of cancel culture in the West and in India. During a recent stand-up comedy performance, the outspoken comic offered a satirical, yet brutally honest take on how comedians are treated differently in each part of the world.

He shared a video snippet of this performance on his Instagram on Saturday, and it’s already getting people talking.

Vir Das on Cancel Culture: A Tale of Two Realities

From the moment Vir stepped on stage, he wasted no time in diving into the controversy. “Please don’t cancel me, I apologise! It would really interfere with my incarceration,” he joked to a laughing crowd. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone.

Referring to conversations with fellow comedians in the U.S., Vir mocked the typical Western outcry over cancel culture. He recounted a conversation with an American comic who dramatically lamented, “Vir, cancel culture is insane! The other day a mob came after me. A mob on Twitter!”

Das followed that up with a biting analogy, mocking the Western panic over online backlash compared to legal ramifications in India: “It’s like telling the freshly castrated that your balls itch.”

The audience roared with laughter, but Vir’s point was razor-sharp. He went on to critique an article he had read in a Western publication: “The most annoying article I ever read in the West is: Why doesn’t Indian comedy content push the envelope?” His response? “Really b**h? Because we looked inside the envelope! There are court cases inside the envelope. There is a court date on top of the envelope.”*

This wasn’t just hyperbole. For Das, the risks are not just about public opinion—they’re legal.

Legal Heat: The Cost of Pushing the Envelope in India

Vir Das is no stranger to controversy—or the courtroom. In 2021, he faced a police complaint and a wave of public outrage after a performance in the U.S. where he spoke about the “Two Indias” he comes from. The routine tackled hard-hitting issues such as women’s safety, Covid-19 mismanagement, environmental pollution, and the farmer protests. Critics accused him of insulting India, and legal trouble followed.

This wasn’t his first brush with legal challenges either. In 2020, his Netflix dark comedy series Hasmukh came under fire when a group of lawyers filed a legal notice against the show. Their claim? That episode four defamed and maligned the legal profession.

The message in his latest performance was clear: While Western comedians may fear social media outrage, Indian comics often face real, legal consequences for expressing dissent or satire.

And yet, Das continues to push boundaries.

His latest stand-up special, Fool Volume, was released on Netflix on July 18. The special has already garnered attention for its fearless take on politics, identity, and, of course, cancel culture. It’s a continuation of Vir’s brand—bold, unapologetic, and willing to take on the establishment, no matter the cost.

By drawing this East vs. West comparison, Vir isn’t just talking about comedy. He’s raising important questions about freedom of speech, censorship, and how societies deal with discomforting truths.

Kneecap launch legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro for “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” comments as band barred from entering Canada

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Kneecap have launched a legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro after being barred from entering Canada.

The Irish rap trio were banned from entering Canada earlier this week, with Canadian officials saying they had “made statements that are contrary to Canadian values” that “have caused deep alarm”.

Announcing the ban on Monday (September 15), Canadian Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video on X/Twitter that the group has “amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”

“These are not expressions of art or legitimate political critique,” Gasparro said. “They are dangerous endorsements of violence and hate.”

Mo Chara is currently facing terrorism charges levelled against him in May for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag on stage at a London show last November. Chara appeared in court last month, where the case was adjourned until September 26.

Kneecap have consistently denied supporting either Hamas or Hezbollah, and said that they do not incite or condone violence. They have also argued that the footage at the UK shows had been taken out of context, and described the legal action as a “carnival of distraction”.

They were due to perform in Toronto and Vancouver in October. A Jewish organisation in the country has been pushing for the government to deny them entry since June.

Kneecap have now responded to Gasparro’s comments in a post on Instagram today (September 19), saying his statements are “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” and threatening legal action.

“We have today instructed our lawyers to initiate legal action against you,” the group said. “We will be relentless in defending ourselves against baseless accusations to silence our opposition to a genocide being committed by Israel.

“When we beat you in court, which we will, we will donate every cent to assist some of the thousands of child amputees in Gaza,” they added.

They also issued a message to their fans in Canada, saying, “We have played in Canada many times with zero issues and a message of solidarity and love.

“We are sorry we cannot be with you next month but we will not be silenced and will always oppose genocide. Use your voices in Canada – stand up and speak out.”

Last night (September 18), Kneecap played their biggest England gig to date at the 12,500-capacity OVO Wembley Arena.

Massive Attack and Ben Jamal introduced them to the stage, describing them as “a band who refused to be silenced for their solidarity with the Palestinian people”.

NME caught the gig and gave it a glowing five-star review, which read: “You don’t pull off a gig like that on controversy alone. You need bangers and you need a culture to fill this room. Kneecap have all that, and they’re a fucking good laugh. There’s no call for violence, there’s nothing that should land someone in front of a judge, just solidarity and a rave against the dying of the light. Just 24 hours earlier in this same room, Together For Palestine put on all-star fundraiser for the cause, the biggest of its kind.

“It’s significant like gigs like this should happen at a time like now. The state may try to crush them, but Kneecap have a power of their own. As they spit on ‘It’s Been Ages’: “Controversy won’t phase us, we hold all the cards and they’re aces, try to protect your kids but they’ll hear us.”

Kneecap have announced a live-streamed performance for fans after being forced to cancel their US tour due to the “close proximity of [their] next court hearing”. They will then head out on a 2025 UK headline tour in November. Find any remaining tickets here.

In other news, Kneecap are among Fontaines DC, Amyl & The Sniffers, and over 400 other artists to have joined the No Music For Genocide campaign, while Massive Attack, who are involved in the campaign, have committed to fully boycott Spotify.

Other artists, who are largely on independent labels, participating in the campaign include Rina Sawayama, MIKE, Primal Scream, Faye Webster, Kneecap and Japanese Breakfast. They are joined by the likes of Yaeji, King Krule, MJ Lenderman, Mannequin Pussy, Wednesday, Soccer Mommy and MØ.

To join the coalition, the artists involved have edited their own release territories or sent geo-block requests to their distributor or label. They are encouraging major label groups Sony, UMG, and Warner to follow suit, particularly as they blocked their entire catalogues from and closed operations in Russia a month into their invasion of Ukraine.

What Happened to HGTV’s Alison Victoria and Partner Donovan Eckhardt? Their Legal Drama

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Alison Victoria is bringing her talents to Las Vegas on the new show Sin City Rehab, but she previously worked in Chicago for five seasons on Windy City Rehab. HGTV’s Chicago-based show was not without its shortage of drama, especially in the early seasons.

That’s because of legal drama involving Victoria and her former business partner Donovan Eckhardt, whom she no longer works with. Scroll down for a refresh on what happened, including where the two stand today.

What happened to Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt?

Victoria and Eckhardt had a falling out in 2020, which was documented on Season 2 of Windy City Rehab. Victoria officially pulled the plug on her working relationship with the contractor after she found out he mishandled company finances, she revealed on an episode of the show.

At the time of the falling out, Eckhardt’s contractor’s license was suspended (more on that below), but Victoria found that he’d still issued an invoice to his own company. “What are you getting paid for?” she wondered, noting that he couldn’t have done the work due to his suspension. She feared he was also letting other invoices “slip” through for work he hadn’t actually done.

“You got the money off the top,” she ranted. “That means that’s my money too. Those are my houses. That’s my bank loan. And I received zero from those jobs. From most of them, I received zero profit.”

“This is the end with me and Donovan,” Victoria said. “He’s gone, by his own right, by his own doing. I have lost a friend and I have lost a business partner. But I do know this … this happened for a reason, and I know that I am strong, and I know that I will get through this.”

In 2021, Eckhardt sued Discovery Inc. and Big Table Media, Windy City Rehab’s production company, claiming the accusations about how he handled finances were false. While he did not sue Victoria directly, she was inadvertently brought into the lawsuit amid Eckhardt’s claims of “defamation” and “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

Eckhardt claimed he was painted as the “villain” on Windy City Rehab, leading to “depression, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite,” according to Chicago Sun Times. He said he also lost money because of the drama. The lawsuit was dismissed, per Chicago Sun Times.

Why did Donovan Eckhardt lose his license?

Eckhardt’s contractor license was suspended for 45 days in 2019, according to the Chicago Sun Times. The outlet reported that Eckhardt “violated the law by building three garages and garage decks without permits and endangering workers and the public by removing flooring at properties without putting up safety barriers.”

In defense, Eckhardt claimed that he did not give the direction to complete this work. He said the work was done by people he authorized to work on the properties, though. The city still held him liable since he was still the company owner. Eckhardt was also accused of working at 11 properties without the proper permits.

All of this came amid a bunch of other legal issues for Victoria and Eckhardt. The two were hit with multiple stop-work orders due to building violations in 2019, and we also unable to file new permits at this time. They were also sued by some of the homeowners whose homes they renovated. One particular buyer sued for fraud in 2020, claiming their upstairs shower leaked gallons of water just one day after they closed on the house, with more problems arising from there.

Plus, Eckhardt was sued by a subcontractor, who claimed he did not receive more than $100,000 he was owed for work he did on a project.

Are Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt friends now?

No, Eckhardt and Victoria no longer have a working relationship or a friendship. She told People in 2023 that they’re no longer friends, and reiterated this in another interview with the outlet in 2024.

“Donovan who?” she said. “It is so far behind me that I don’t even look back. But I know it’s so important because when people come up to me, they say, ‘I love your show, I love you and watching you go through that has helped me. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for showing it.’”

Per his Instagram page, Eckhardt still appears to be doing contracting work.

Where is Karisma Kapoor amid messy legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000 estate?

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actor Karisma Kapoor’s personal life is out in the open with chapters from her past relationship with late businessman Sunjay Kapur surfacing once again amid the messy legal battle over Sunjay’s ₹30,000 crore estate. However, the actor is detaching herself from all the noise and focusing on work.

Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor were married from 2003-2016.

Karisma focuses on her work

The dispute over Sunjay’s vast ₹30,000 crore estate has escalated, with his children Samaira and Kiaan, from his marriage to Karisma, accusing Sunjay’s widow and third wife Priya Sachdev of forging his will and excluding them from the inheritance. On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court took up the plea filed by Samaira and Kiaan, where several allegations and accusations were made. Karisma is not a plaintiff in the case, but is representing her children.

Amid all the chatter, we have heard Karisma is focusing on her work. “At the moment, Karisma is in Mumbai and totally focused on her work. She is not letting the controversy surrounding her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s estate impact her professional life,” says a source.

The insider continues, “Karisma is fulfilling her professional commitment as usual. She is shooting for several projects. She was recently seen in Super Dancer Chapter 5 as a special guest, and even travelled for an event. And she intends to continue to do that. Because the show must go on.”

Sunjay Kapur was married to Karisma from 2003 to 2016. Their children, Samaira and Kiaan, were born in 2005 and 2011, respectively. Sunjay married Priya Sachdev in 2017 after a bitter divorce from Karisma.

The businessman, who was the chairman and founder of auto manufacturer Sona Comstar, died in June in London after a purported heart attack. Reports say his estate is worth ₹30000 crore.

What do we know about the estate feud

Karisma’s children Samaira Kapur (20) and Kiaan Raj Kapur (15) have approached the Delhi High Court demanding a share in their late father’s estate. In their plea, they claimed that their late father had ‘repeatedly assured’ them of their share, which was eventually absent in his final will. They have accused their stepmother, Sunjay’s third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, of altering the will. The suit was filed after Priya at a July 30 family meeting presented a will allegedly executed on March 21 – has also sought an injunction on the transfer or disposal of the property.

During the hearing, Priya, through her lawyer Rajiv Nayyar, accused Karisma of being absent from Sunjay’s life for the past 15 years and suddenly appearing in their life after his death. Priya’s legal team emphasised that she was Sunjay’s legally wedded wife.

“I am his legal wife. The claims of love and affection – where was all this when they fought prolonged divorce legal battles in the Supreme Court,” Rajiv said.

The lawyer added, “Your husband left you several years ago.” He was referring to Karisma and Sunjay’s messy divorce in 2016, which saw allegations around domestic abuse as well as substance abuse. Another report claimed that Sunjay was helping his former wife and actor Karisma Kapoor and their kids get Portuguese citizenship.

Justice Jyoti Singh directed Priya to file her replies to the plaint and posted the matter for further hearing on October 9. The Court has asked Priya to submit a list of all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay.

Porsha Williams Wins Legal Battle As Ex Simon Guobadia’s Divorce Appeal Is Denied

We now know what had #PorshaWilliams and her ex-husband, #SimonGuobadia, trading shots the other day.

A Georgia judge has rejected Simon’s appeal to overturn their prenup, upholding the terms of their divorce finalized in June 2025. The ruling grants The #RHOA star $40,000 per month in spousal support for 14 months, half the equity in their home (with housing costs covered by Simon for the next 36 months), several luxury vehicles, and $224,000 in legal fees.

However, despite the ruling, Simon isn’t backing down. The #Nigerian businessman told PEOPLE:

“We intend to continue pursuing this appeal, as we have not yet exhausted all legal remedies. I anticipate a resolution within approximately 12–24 months, depending on how far the opposition chooses to take the matter.”

“In addition, I have a federal defamation case that has yet to be heard, and we are now preparing for the discovery phase at the pace set by the federal court,” he added. “I am a very patient man — patience has served me well for over 40 years in both my personal and professional life — and I am confident that I will ultimately prevail. Stay tuned.”

Shah Rukh Khan’s Daughter Suhana Khan In Legal Trouble Over Land Purchased In Alibaug- Report

Shah Rukh Khan’s Daughter Suhana Khan In Legal Trouble Over Agricultural Land Purchased In Alibaug For Rs 12.01 Cr- Report

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan has reportedly encountered legal issues related to the purchase of agricultural land in Alibaug. According to documents, Suhana acquired two plots worth approximately Rs 22 crore in 2023 and 2024, with the transactions registered under Deja Vu Farm Private Limited, a company owned by Gauri Khan’s mother and sister-in-law.

Suhana Khan’s Agricultural Land Deals In Hot Water?

One of the plots, located in Thal village of Alibaug, was allegedly bought for Rs 12.91 crore from three sisters—Anjali, Rekha, and Priya—who inherited the land from their parents. The land was initially allocated for farming purposes by the government. Notably, Suhana paid a stamp duty of Rs 77.46 lakh at the time of purchase, and official records depict her as a farmer.

Another report by IANS suggests that the piece of land, reportedly costing Rs 12.91 crore, which was purchased by Suhana Khan, was from the Khote family based in Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. The actress paid stamp duty of Rs 77.47 lakh during registration, and the transfer happened on May 30, 2023, through Standard Chartered Bank.

It’s worth noting that in 2018, the Income Tax Department had temporarily attached Khan’s Alibaug bungalow amid suspicions that it was used as a personal farmhouse, despite being purchased as agricultural land. The property was held by Deja Vu Farms Pvt Ltd. The move was part of a broader investigation into benami transactions and possible violations of land acquisition norms.

The Alibaug authorities are currently investigating the matter. Resident Deputy Collector Sandesh Shirke has requested an impartial report from the Tehsildar.

Both Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana are yet to comment on this incident.

Judge Grants Drake's Legal Team Access To Review Redacted Contract

Judge Grants Drake’s Legal Team Access To Review Redacted Contract

by jummy84
written by jummy84

A judge has granted Drake‘s legal team permission to review a previously redacted version of Kendrick Lamar‘s recording contract. This win for Drizzy comes a week after he filed a motion in federal court to gain access to the restricted documents. In the initial lawsuit, Drake’s legal team argued that UMG’s redactions made the 22-page agreement “unreadable and incomprehensible.”

A statement from Judge Jeanette Vargas of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York read, “Plaintiff and UMG’s request… for permission to file under seal a contract between UMG Recordings, Inc. and Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, as produced by UMG in redacted form with the designation Attorney’s Eyes Only, is GRANTED.”

She ruled that “UMG has made a sufficient showing that the information that he seeks to seal qualifies as confidential, ‘sensitive business information.’”

The document, though, will remain sealed from the public. Judge Vargas explained this is because “in this instance, the ‘interest in protecting confidential business information outweighs the qualified First Amendment presumption of public access.’”

The document will remain publicly protected because “the Lamar Contract reflects an ‘ongoing contractual relationship’ between UMG’s business partner and Lamar, the Court agrees that sealing the contract would best protect UMG’s ‘business relationships and interests, and the privacy interests of non-parties.’”

The contract in question is the main focal point of Drake’s case against Universal Music Group. He accused UMG of having contractual authority over the “Not Like Us” rapper’s music and intentionally releasing and promoting the aforementioned diss track.

Previous court filings show that Drake was seeking “extensive documentation” from UMG while the label called his complaint a “hundred-plus page ‘legal’ blather” that ignores his own history of songs with “equally provocative taunts against other artists.”

Despite them arguing that Drake initiated the exchange, they wrote, “Drake’s lawyers believe that when Drake willingly participates in a performative rap-battle of music and poetry, he can be ‘defamed’ even though he engages in the exact same form of creative expression. Drake’s lawyers can also keep seeking to ‘uncover’ evidence of wild conspiracies as to why one song that upset Drake had massive global appeal, but there is nothing to ‘uncover.’ Except for this: by working tirelessly in partnership with our artists, we achieve global success for them and their music.”
