Ram Kapoor's Real Estate Empire and Upcoming Role
If you are at the top of your game in the small screen industry, you can live a life of luxury without worrying about bankruptcy, revealed Ram Kapoor . In a candid chat with Humans of Bombay, the 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hai' star said that although TV stars are not paid as much as their big-screen counterparts, if you are a successful TV star and have invested wisely, you will have enough money to last multiple generations. Citing the examples of himself, his 'Bade Acche' co-star Sakshi Tanwar, and 'Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu Thi' actor Ronit Roy, he revealed that each of them has earned enough to buy several luxury cars and homes.Ram Kapoor also spoke about his admiration for fine watches and luxury automobiles. While he tends to maintain a low profile regarding his personal collection, his love for high-performance vehicles is well known. Among the luxurious models in his garage are a Mercedes-AMG G63, BMW X5, Porsche, Ferrari, and the recently purchased Lamborghini Urus, which is reportedly worth over ₹5.21 crore.Though he acknowledges public curiosity about celebrity lifestyles, Kapoor noted that he and his contemporaries don't believe in flaunting their wealth. Instead, they enjoy their possessions in private, away from the spotlight. He observed that many others in his position feel similarly, but due to his public profile, his lifestyle choices inevitably become public knowledge.Further delving into his financial journey, Kapoor pointed out that the earnings from a single hit show that runs over several years can sometimes match or even exceed eight years' worth of standard salaries. Television, when consistent and successful, offers an actor not just fame but also long-term financial stability. Kapoor remarked that those who stay at the top for two decades or more—and manage their income prudently—can create wealth that will sustain at least three or four generations.He praised actors like Ronit Roy, who transitioned from struggling in films to finding massive success in television. Ronit, once unable to afford basic necessities, reinvented himself when given a chance by producer Ektaa Kapoor. He has since built an empire, including vacation homes and a magnificent villa in Goa, he revealed. Kapoor highlighted that such actors value their achievements deeply because they have tasted both failure and success.Ram Kapoor's personal portfolio includes expansive homes in Mumbai, as well as luxurious retreats in Goa and Khandala. He also owns a high-value vacation property in Alibaug, estimated at around Rs 20 crore as per a Times of India report.Professionally, Kapoor is set to portray a brilliant detective in the upcoming series Mistry. The trailer, released on June 9, introduces his character Armaan Mistry—an eccentric investigator with obsessive-compulsive disorder who solves crimes in unconventional ways. Alongside him, Shikha Talsania plays his assistant, while Mona Singh portrays a senior police officer. The show is scheduled to premiere on JioHostar starting June 27.

Motor racing-Stella proud of Norris after 'best qualifying of the year'
SPIELBERG, Austria -McLaren team boss Andrea Stella said he was proud of Lando Norris's performance after the Briton took a dominant pole position in Austria in what he called his best qualifying of the year. HT Image Norris led every phase, going fastest in Friday and Saturday practice, a decisive response to a poor qualifying in Canada and his collision with championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri in that race two weeks ago. That incident, which he accepted blame for, left Norris 22 points behind Piastri. "Even in Canada, after reviewing the weekend with Lando and his engineers, we always said the speed was there," Stella told Sky Sports television. "When he had the little contact with the wall in qualifying, he was on track for a pole position. And in the race, he was one of the fastest, if not the fastest car. The speed was always there. We needed to polish the execution. "I'm really proud of Lando today. Not only he scored a pole position, but it's a dominant pole position, a pretty remarkable lap time." Norris was more than half a second faster than his closest rival, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, on the shortest lap of the season. The Briton said the upgraded car felt strong and quick. Qualifying, a strong point last year, has become more of a problem this season, but Norris seemed to have rectified some of the issues. "It was easily my best qualifying of the year from a delivery point of view from every single lap I did. I still made a couple of mistakes here and there, but none that cost me a lap or anything," he said. "I think on deliveries, consistency and of course putting it in when it counts in Q3 was easily the best lap I've done for this whole season, probably even better than Monaco, honestly. "Maybe not as exciting a lap as Monaco, but definitely a better put-together lap than I did there." Norris won from pole in Monaco, with the fastest lap, as he did in the Australian season-opener. "It shows that the feelings I've been requiring, the feelings that I've not been getting as easily, when they are more my way and more where I want them to be, I can put in better performances and have days like today," he said.

F1 Austrian Grand Prix: Lando Norris puts McLaren on pole; Oscar Piastri qualifies third
Lando Norris bounced back from his collision in Canada to put McLaren on pole position for the Austrian Formula One Grand Prix on Saturday while championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri qualified third. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc joined Norris on the front row with teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth, raising the Italian team's hopes after a difficult weekend so far. Red Bull's Max Verstappen qualified only seventh at his team's home circuit after pulling out of his final flying effort when Alpine's Pierre Gasly spun at the last corner and briefly brought out yellow flags. Piastri was also forced to bale but had been slower than Norris in both of the first two phases. Norris, who needs a strong result after a collision with Piastri in Canada two weeks ago, is 22 points behind the Australian in the championship after 10 of 24 races. 'I did what I planned to do and when I plan to do something and it goes right, it normally goes very, very well. A good day and it has been a good weekend for me so far, so hopefully we can keep it up,' said Norris.

RED FLAG George Russell, last year's race winner, qualified fifth for Mercedes but faced an investigation for a potential unsafe release in the pitlane. Liam Lawson will line up sixth for Racing Bulls, ahead of Verstappen, with Brazilian rookie Gabriel Bortoleto making it into the final phase for the first time and qualifying eighth for Sauber. Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli was ninth fastest for Mercedes and Gasly completed the top 10. The second phase of qualifying was red-flagged when the trackside grass at turn 10 caught fire, the latest of a series of such incidents. The governing FIA said the fire was caused by a car going off track, rather than by sparks from the titanium skid blocks, and carried out additional dampening of the grass before the final top 10 shootout. Verstappen's teammate Yuki Tsunoda and Williams' Carlos Sainz made early exits, neither getting through the opening phase. 'There's damage in the car, for sure. The car is undriveable ... it's pulling under braking, no load in high speed,' said Sainz, who qualified 19th with only Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg behind. He explained later that the team had put new brakes on the car for qualifying, as usual, but it started pulling to one side immediately.
