Step inside Shashi Tharoor's ‘modest sarkari bungalow' in Delhi featuring MF Husain painting, indoor gym, endless books
Eclectic artwork and a treasure trove of knowledge, these two definitions can be used to describe Congress leader Shashi Tharoor's home in Delhi. During an old interview with Brut India, shared on YouTube on January 5, 2022, the politician gave a glimpse inside his Delhi home, which he calls a 'fairly modest sarkari bungalow'. Shashi Tharoor is an Indian politician, author, and a member of Congress. (File/ANI) Also Read | Step inside Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor's lavish Mumbai home with swanky bar and artful walls that wow even Farah Khan Inside Shashi Tharoor's Delhi home The video begins with Shashi Tharoor showing his office inside his Delhi house, where he entertains guests and conducts meetings. The author and renowned politician is well known for his incredible vocabulary and command over the English language. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that half of the walls of his office are filled with books and several other awards. Next, the politician shows the living room area inside his home, a huge space decorated with eclectic art on the walls, and pictures that document his political journey, including photographs with world leaders he rubs shoulders with. He revealed that the living room area is where he chills and spends some downtime. The politician also showed off an artwork painted by MF Husain himself, which takes a special place inside the room. 'That one Husain sahab painted for me, he has actually autographed it on the back for me, which is nice,' he revealed. 'A fairly modest bungalow' The politician also showed other rooms inside his home, including a space with a wall dedicated to a collection of archival covers of all his books. He confessed, 'They even tossed in a few of the foreign editions, but not all of them.' The room also has family pictures, which include photos of his kids, grandchildren, and a few from his young age. Lastly, when asked that his home is quite ostentatious, the politician humbly disagreed and quipped, 'It's actually a fairly modest sarkari bungalow, but we have done it up as nicely as we could, and a lot of it, especially this room, is actually the way Sunanda made it and left it, my late wife.' Apart from books and art, the Congress leader also takes care of his health and revealed that he converted the garage into an indoor gym room with a treadmill, a few weights, barbells, and more.

Top 10 richest people in India as of July 2025
No surprises here, Mukesh Ambani continues to be the richest person in India with a net worth of almost $116 billion, as of July 2025. The chairman of Reliance Industries ranks at number 15 globally and is the only Asian member of the exclusive $100 billion club, according to Forbes. The list featuring the 10 richest people in India at the moment was released on Friday (July 4). As 2025 reached the halfway mark, Forbes ranked the richest Indians, as of July 2025, highlighting the wealth accumulated by the individuals based on their contributions across industries. Notably, Savitri Jindal & family led by the only Indian woman billionaire featured in the list in the fourth position. With a net worth of $37.3 billion, the family's wealth is derived from the O P Jindal Group, a major player in the steel and power sectors. Savitri Jindal, who is also a politician, serves as the emeritus chair of the Group. Meanwhile, billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani is second on the list. His multinational conglomerate the Adani Group is recognised as India's largest airport operator. In January 2023, the now disbanded US-based short seller Hindenburg Research had claimed that Adani and his companies had 'engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades'. Following the release of the report, the Group's stocks companies fell sharply (though they later recovered), wiping out over $120 billion in market value. New entrant: The new name in the list who did not feature at the start of the year is property baron Kushal Pal Singh. An army veteran, he is the chairman emeritus of DLF, India's biggest listed real estate firm by market cap. He led the company started by his father-in-law in 1961 for over five decades. Today, it is run by his son Rajiv Singh Pal as the chairman. The country is currently home to 205 billionaires, placed third after the United States and China, Forbes reported earlier in April this year. This is a slight increase in the overall billionaire tally of India, up from 200 last year. However, these individuals have a collective net worth of $941 billion so far, down from $954 billion last year. The drop has been primarily attributed to the country's two richest individuals seeing their fortunes fall by more than $20 billion as shares of their conglomerates fell. Source: Forbes Note: Since stock prices fluctuate routinely, the net worth might change accordingly. The net worth mentioned is as of July 04, 2025

'Win-Win': US ambassador optimistic about trade deal with Canada
The US ambassador to Canada gave an optimistic assessment of trade talks between the countries, playing up the odds that a fair deal will emerge soon from negotiations between Donald Trump and Mark Carney. The US ambassador to Canada gave an optimistic assessment of trade talks between the countries(AFP) 'We've got two guys that are negotiating for each of our countries,' Pete Hoekstra told an audience during an Independence Day party in Ottawa. 'When they get done, I'm confident that they can both go back to their people and their citizens and say, 'I got a great deal for Canada' — and I think we'll have a president who will say, 'I have a great deal for the USA.'' 'That means we have a great win-win.' The US, Canada and Mexico have an existing trade pact that Trump signed during his first term. But the president has sidestepped it and placed import taxes of 50% on foreign steel and aluminum, along with levies on cars and trucks. Canada is a significant exporter of all of those products. The Canadian government has put counter-tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of US-manufactured items, including vehicles and other consumer products. But Carney, who became Canada's prime minister in March, opted not to retaliate when Trump increased the tariffs on steel and aluminum weeks ago. The two leaders have agreed on a July 21 deadline to reach an agreement. 'We're going to get through this,' said Hoekstra, a former member of the US House of Representatives from Michigan, a state that's highly dependent on trade with Canada. 'When we are done, we are going to be stronger and better than what we were when we began.'
