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

JeM chief Masood Azhar not in Pakistan, claims Bilawal Bhutto
In a shocking revelation, Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto has stated that Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar is not in the country. Speaking to reporters on Friday, the Pakistani politician stated that Pakistan has been "unable to identify or arrest" Azhar. The JeM chief, who is also a globally designated terrorist by the United Nations, was released by India in exchange for the passengers during the IC-814 hijack in 1999.(AP/File Pic) Masood Azhar is one of the most-wanted terrorists in India for his involvement in the 2001 Parliament attack, 2008 Mumbai attacks, 2016 Pathankot attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack. The JeM chief, who is also a globally designated terrorist by the United Nations, was released by India in exchange for the passengers during the IC-814 hijack in 1999. Over the years, India has accused Pakistan of "feigning ignorance" when it comes to the presence of Azhar and Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed in its country. Saeed in custody, Azhar not in Pakistan: Bhutto Speaking to reporters, Bilawal Bhutto stated that while Hafiz Saeed is in Pakistan, he is not a free man. "That's factually not correct that Hafiz Saeed is a free man. He is in the custody of the Pakistani state," said Bhutto in response to a New York Times report claiming the LeT chief was free. Also Read: Not just Pakistan, India faced 3 adversaries in Operation Sindoor: Army Furthermore, the politician added tht Azhar is not on Pakistani soil, and would be "happy to arrest him" if India shares proof that the JeM chief is present in Islamabad. "As far as Masood Azhar is concerned, we have been unable to arrest him or identify him. Given his past within the Afghan jihad context, it is our belief that he is in Afghanistan. If and when the Indian government shares information with us that he is on Pakistani soil, we would be more than happy to arrest him. The fact is, the Indian government is not..." said Bhutto. The politician added that if Azhar is in Afghanistan, "It's not possible for Pakistan to go and do what all of NATO was unable to do within Afghanistan. There's no reason for Pakistan to want to see this individual or any individual of concern to be active," referring to the 2021 Taliban takeover.
