Opposition boycotts high tea event on eve of Monsoon Session; calls Maharashtra Govt dishonest
The opposition parties in Maharashtra on Sunday (June 29, 2025) announced a boycott of the traditional high tea event of the State Government on the eve of the legislature's Monsoon Session citing rampant corruption, unpopular policies and misuse of funds. Confirming the development, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Ambadas Danve of the Shiv Sena (UBT) said the boycott is a mark of protest against a "dishonest Government". "From the forced implementation of the Shaktipeeth Expressway to the failure to provide buses to MSRTC, non-payment of dues to private contractors, and injustice in the Vaishali Hagawane [dowry harassment-suicide] case in Pune, this Government has lost the moral right to seek cooperation. Why should we meet the government that is imposing a third language [Hindi] on Standard I," he said. His colleague and former Minister Aaditya Thackeray attacked the Mahayuti government of Devendra Fadnavis for corruption in school admissions. "The first list for 11th standard admissions appears to be tainted with corruption. There is reason to believe that school education minister Dada Bhuse may be involved," he alleged. Mr. Thackeray also slammed the State Government for "tacitly backing" the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which he claimed was imposing "unjust" fines to the tune of ₹12.50 crore on motorists using the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The driver of Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena Lok Sabha MP Sandipan Bhumre has received a huge parcel of land from the descendants of the erstwhile royal Salar Jung family of Hyderabad, which raises suspicion of irregular land deals, Mr. Thackeray further alleged. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly and senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar pointed out to former BJP Minister Babanrao Lonikar's objectionable statements at a gathering. Mr. Lonikar had slammed critics of the BJP-led government by claiming the clothes they were wearing and other amenities they were enjoying in life have been handed down to them by the ruling party. "This government is indifferent to people's problems. The three constituents of the Mahayuti are fighting among themselves for funds and to expand their influence. They are more concerned with siphoning off public resources," Mr. Wadettiwar alleged. The Mahayuti comprises the BJP, Mr. Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party. The Congress leader also pointed out to the "inflated cost" of infrastructure projects in the State, citing the cancellation of tenders for a tunnel and road project in Thane-Ghodbunder-Bhayander route after the matter reached the Supreme Court. The MMRDA, which is helming the project, also announced a reduction in the cost of the project subsequently. "Why was the cost inflated in the first place? The intention was to misuse the money to possibly buy MLAs or for other nefarious purposes," he alleged.

Mona Singh's drastic physical transformation to play Aamir Khan's mother in Laal Singh Chaddha: 'Had to lose all that weight and look fragile
We, as viewers, don't know what goes on behind the camera. What is presented to us as a 2 or 3-hour-long movie requires months, if not years, of assiduous effort and often proves to be a debilitating experience for the cast involved. Mona Singh, who initially rose to fame with Sony Entertainment Television's Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, has established herself as a versatile actress. She is a household name, thanks to her prolific roles in TV shows and Bollywood movies. In a recent interview, Mona talked about her experience starring in the film Laal Singh Chaddha and why it is one of the most 'challenging' roles she has ever taken up. Her character demanded to 'put on and lose weight in stages.' Mona Singh's Demanding Role in Laal Singh Chaddha The 2022 Hindi language film Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the main roles, is an adaptation of the 1994 blockbuster Forrest Gump. In the movie, Aamir's character Lal Singh, a man with a low IQ, overcomes formidable hardships to reunite with his childhood sweetheart Rupa (Kareena Kapoor Khan). Mona Singh played the character of Gurpreet Kaur, Lal Singh's mother, and did an exceptional job. However, what makes this experience particularly unforgettable for Mona Singh is the complications that came with it. The 43-year-old actress didn't shy away from sharing that her profession is 'demanding,' not only physically but also mentally. She mentions that even though every role she portrays 'comes with its own set of challenges,' Laal Singh Chaddha takes the cake. For this movie, she had to undergo extreme physical transformations, gaining and losing weight constantly to portray the different ages of her movie character. In the first half, she remained thin to portray a young Gurpreet Kaur. In the second half, she had to put on significant weight to portray the character in her 40s in a realistic manner. And towards the end, she had to drop all the weight to look 'fragile." For Mona, the most difficult aspect of her career is 'constantly shifting between roles, absorbing energies, and navigating public life.' She advises creating boundaries to protect peace and switching off the mind at times to help it recover. The actress mentions that her friends and family have helped her feel rejuvenated and connected with herself. Mona is currently juggling between her acting career and her entrepreneurial journey. She is a foodie and has recently ventured into business with her restaurant Kona Kona to celebrate India's 'culinary landscape.' Apart from that, she has some interesting upcoming projects lined up, including Aryan Khan's directorial debut Stardom.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie , the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actors, have been at each other's throats for a long time. The infamous rivalry will now transform into a courtroom drama, as the fight for the French winery is going to continue. Pitt vs Jolie trial to begin... According to US Weekly, Brad Pitt revealed in the court documents that the expected time for the jury trial will last for a fortnight, regarding the lawsuit he has against his ex-wife. The court documents also reveal that Jolie has agreed to the given time period. However, the date of the trial is yet to be determined, as several of the motions are yet to be decided. The 'F1' star has anointed this case as 'complicated' as many foreign parties are involved in the matter, and the defence has filed many cross claims in the case. What is the mess around the Miraval winery? The Chateau Miraval winery was bought by Pitt and Jolie when they were still head over heels for each other in 2008. When the disastrous and allegedly abusive private jet incident occurred, the couple decided to part ways but keep the winery to pass it down to their 6 children. However, in 2022, Pitt filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife, claiming that she did not keep her promise of not selling their shares of the winery without informing the other person. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo He told the court that he had spent a ton of money and effort on turning Miraval into a successful winery. In 2021, Jolie had approached Pitt to tell him that she wanted out of the Miraval shares through a private email, which the 'Fight Club' actor submitted to the court as one of the documents. 'In the past four years I have seen lots of inconsiderate behavior, money spent in ways that I would not have approved, and decisions made that I was not consulted on,' she wrote in the mail, before adding, 'I've been hurt by decisions that have been made that show no interest in sharing the business or changing it fundamentally into something that would be healthier for our children. ' While the ex-couple did work on buying her shares, Jolie claims that Pitt tried to make her sign an NDA, which would cover up years of abuse. Pitt denied the claim, and his lawyer argues that the accusations are a sham in the pretext of her selling the shares to a Russian billionaire, striking a deal with a third party.
