<p>So what people do is live in the UK, move abroad, sell everything tax-free, and then come back to the UK. So to avoid this, they have created a rule that states that if you leave the UK for less than 5 years and sell your assets while abroad, the UK will still tax you when you return. Why might Harry and Meghan be safe? Because they left in 2020 and are returning in 2026. That's 6 years, which crosses the bar of 5 years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, the temporary non-residence rule probably won't apply to them, and any assets they sold while in the US may not be taxed by the UK.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Why they will have to pay big bucks under &nbsp;Foreign Income and Gains (FIG)</h3><p>But this six-year-term will not benefit them in the new four-year foreign income and gains regime. Under this, people are required to spend 10 consecutive years out of the UK.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Six years away is not enough to qualify for the new four-year foreign income and gains regime, which requires 10 consecutive years of non-UK residence.'' Financial adviser, Nouran Moustafa, from Roxton Wealth said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In easy terms, if you are non-resident for 10 years in a row, when you come back to the UK, the government gives you a benefit for the next 4 years, and they will not tax you on the income and profit you make from your foreign assets. Because Harry only stayed away for 6 years, he misses out on a much bigger tax break that comes under this.&nbsp;</p>

Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the United Kingdom with their kids, Archie and Lilibet, after six years in the US. But how much will they actually gain or lose from this return?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the UK with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. While their decision has caused a stir online, this homecoming holds several secrets and benefits. And one could be a major tax relief that they might get as they return to the UK after living in the United States for six years. But if they are saving money at one point, then losing it at another. How? Read further to know more. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to move back to Britain for an extended period later this month, six years after stepping down as senior royals and relocating to California in 2020. Their children will reportedly begin school in the UK in September. What tax benefit are Meghan and Harry going to get? If reports are to be believed, Harry and Meghan will live in a private, non-royal home outside London, and could receive a major tax benefit by returning to the UK after six years in the US, according to experts. But the timing of their return could save them from a major tax bill, and here we are talking about millions. As per the reports, Harry and Meghan’s fortune is $60 million. According to Express UK, in the UK, if you live here, you have to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you make a profit from selling or giving away things that have increased in value. Tax experts said that because Harry and Meghan have lived outside the UK for six years, some of their assets might not be taxed when they return. "Harry and Meghan's six-year stay in America could prove important for Capital Gains Tax." Michele Tieghi, financial expert and founder of psyfi money, said. So with this, Meghan and Harry's time outside may help them now.

He said, “They are both mature people, and while Govinda has never spoken a word against Sunita in public, she has been the one airing their private matters. I am sure they both want the best for themselves and their children. We don’t know what prompted her to withdraw the petition, but we hope things will work out. It’s also for the betterment of the children, who are affected by all this negativity.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sunita-ahuja-withdraws-divorce-case-against-govinda-after-months-of-public-drama-1787131817637"><strong>Sunita Ahuja withdraws divorce case against Govinda after months of public drama</strong></a></p><h2>What did Sunita Ahuja say?</h2><p>During a phone conversation with Rakhi Sawant, the actor’s wife claimed that her husband, Govinda, and his rumoured girlfriend, Komal Rani Swarnkar, were planning to marry.

Govinda-Sunita Ahuja marriage controversy: Actor’s manager dismisses claim about alleged second marriage

<p>Operation Safed Sagar, which was released earlier this month, brings one of the lesser-known chapters of the 1999 Kargil War to audiences. Alongside Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill and Abhay Verma, the Netflix series also stars Mihir Ahuja as Flying Officer C.H. Bal Reddy, aka Baldy, one of the young officers navigating the challenges of war while balancing his personal life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series sheds light on the Indian Air Force's No. 17 Squadron, the Golden Arrows, and the role it played during the historic war. Inspired by real events, Operation Safed Sagar follows the squadron's perilous missions during the conflict. For Mihir, who was just a year old when the Kargil War took place, the series offered an opportunity to go beyond the story he knew growing up and discover the scale, teamwork and sacrifices behind India's victory.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/operation-safed-sagar-meet-the-real-heroes-behind-netflix-s-kargil-war-series-1786193414976"><strong> Operation Safed Sagar: Meet the real heroes behind Netflix’s Kargil War series</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In an exclusive conversation with <i>WION</i>, Mihir opened up about playing a real-life hero, what surprised him most about the Kargil War, and the challenges of shooting at 16,500 feet in sub-zero temperatures. The 28-year-old actor also spoke about his bond with co-stars Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill, his journey from Jamshedpur to Mumbai and more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> What was special about Operation Safed Sagar that made you want to be a part of the series?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja: </strong>Honestly, a lot of things. Firstly, when I read the script, I was so stunned by it. Getting to play a real-life hero is something anyone would want to do.</p><p>What has stayed with me, honestly, is the love from the officers, the soldiers and the pilots. The way they accepted us as civilians and granted us permission to enter the Air Force stations and shoot at these locations is something that isn't easy for anyone. So, yeah, that has stayed with me - the love I got from them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION</strong>: We all know the broad history of the Kargil War, but was there anything you learnt while filming the series that really surprised you?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> I was one year old when the Kargil War took place. Like everyone else, I knew that we won the Kargil War, but I didn't know the details.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What we've shown in this series is just one operation. Operation Safed Sagar has only shown one part- the story of No. 17 Squadron, the Golden Arrows. But there were a lot of squadrons and a lot of teams involved. We can't tell all the stories at once.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, if you're inspired just by watching this, it's not even one-fourth of the story of the Kargil War because it was also a story of the Army and the Navy. It was very, very vast, and we won it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/operation-safed-sagar-trailer-promises-a-gripping-tribute-to-the-heroes-of-the-kargil-war-1784554524902"><strong>Operation Safed Sagar trailer promises a gripping tribute to the heroes of the Kargil War</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>What really surprised me was the teamwork and the unity behind it.

But after a 12-hour shoot, you feel exhausted. Subconsciously, you don't even feel it, but when you go home, you realise that you've given yourself a lot of mental stress that day. So that was mentally exhausting. During the shoot, it didn't feel like that. I felt it after going home.</p><p>The biggest physical challenge was in Shinkula and Jispa, where we shot at 16,500 feet above sea level. We were shooting in minus 20 and minus 25 degrees.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There were times when people were moving forward and, if we looked back, two or three of our people were going one by one.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even after acclimatisation, we found out after two or three days that the body had acclimatised. But then a local there said that it wasn't easy to even stay there for two days, and we were shooting there for 40 days. So that was difficult.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But kudos to the crew - the light men, the spot boys and the production team. And especially the directors and the creators. They were present for every scene there. So it was a different challenge for them as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> The series has a big cast and you got to work with actors like Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill. What was the dynamic like on the set?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> It was very dynamic. I've read this somewhere and I believe it's true - someone who is a good human being will be a good actor. So, to become a good actor, you have to be a good human being.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All the people I've worked with - Siddharth sir and Jimmy sir - are very, very good. They are down to earth and humble. We used to chill together and have fun together.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jimmy sir and my conversations were mostly about diet and discipline. Siddharth is such a good gel in our group. We have fun together, and he has a very good sense of humour. So that's something I really, really love about him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> Can you share a memorable behind-the-scenes moment from the shoot?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> I remember this one moment. If you're shooting somewhere in Mumbai, the directors might say, 'Get the car from behind' or 'Bring the car into the frame.' Here, we were doing it with helicopters. 'Bring the helicopter a little forward. Bring the helicopter back.'</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was surreal. We were like, 'Is this actually happening?' I vividly remember that moment from the set.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> You grew up in Jamshedpur. When did you decide that you wanted to pursue acting as a career?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> I think that your city, your place, your longitude or latitude can decide what you want to be. If you have passion, you can do what you want to do. You just need to go with it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/kargil-vijay-diwas-the-real-story-that-inspired-siddharth-jimmy-shergill-s-operation-safed-sagar-1785063455060"><strong>Kargil Vijay Diwas: The real story that inspired Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill's Operation Safed Sagar</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Very early in my life, I decided. I used to jokingly say, 'I want to become an actor. I want to become an actor.' But that joke was true because I honestly enjoyed it. I had an inclination towards performing arts from the very beginning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I used to do performances in school and stage performances and everything. So when I was around 10 or 12 years old, I had made up my mind.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> What was the biggest reality check you got after coming to Mumbai?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> I already had an idea about how much patience this industry needs. But in the beginning, I didn't get a chance to give auditions. So I didn't know how to crack that.</p><p>I thought, 'Yes, I know how to act. I'll go and get a chance to give auditions. After that, whether it happens or not, that's another story.' But to even get a chance to audition, I had to take a step back and figure out how I could get that opportunity. That was surprising.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> Is there a role you really want to do but haven't been offered yet?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> I don't want to sound like I'm bragging or boasting about myself, but as an actor, I feel, I can do anything.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I've said this before- something like a Prince Charming or a Rapunzel kind of shoot, but something like that in India, like Snow White or something. I hope that comes true.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And comedy. I love doing comedy. So something like Bhagam Bhag, De Dana Dan and those Govinda and Kader Khan films. I'm watching those films, and I'd love to do something like that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Madgaon Express is a very recent example. I love how Kunal Khemu — we never looked at him as a director, but he has such a great vision as a director. The film also did so well. I'd love to do something like that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION:</strong> What is Mihir like when there is no camera around?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mihir Ahuja:</strong> A fun person. I think I'm an ambivert. Not an introvert, but somewhere in the middle. It takes time for me to open up, but when I open up, then...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I'm also very fond of travelling, so whenever I get a chance, I try to pick up my bag and leave.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Actor Mihir Ahuja, who played Baldy in Operation Safed Sagar has received a lot of appreciation for his role. During an interview with WION, he spoke about the challenges while filming the series, his journey from Jamshedpur and more.

Operation Safed Sagar, which was released earlier this month, brings one of the lesser-known chapters of the 1999 Kargil War to audiences. Alongside Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill and Abhay Verma, the Netflix series also stars Mihir Ahuja as Flying Officer C.H. Bal Reddy, aka Baldy, one of the young officers navigating the challenges of war while balancing his personal life. The series sheds light on the Indian Air Force's No. 17 Squadron, the Golden Arrows, and the role it played during the historic war. Inspired by real events, Operation Safed Sagar follows the squadron's perilous missions during the conflict. For Mihir, who was just a year old when the Kargil War took place, the series offered an opportunity to go beyond the story he knew growing up and discover the scale, teamwork and sacrifices behind India's victory. Also Read: Operation Safed Sagar: Meet the real heroes behind Netflix’s Kargil War series In an exclusive conversation with WION, Mihir opened up about playing a real-life hero, what surprised him most about the Kargil War, and the challenges of shooting at 16,500 feet in sub-zero temperatures. The 28-year-old actor also spoke about his bond with co-stars Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill, his journey from Jamshedpur to Mumbai and more. WION: What was special about Operation Safed Sagar that made you want to be a part of the series? Mihir Ahuja: Honestly, a lot of things. Firstly, when I read the script, I was so stunned by it. Getting to play a real-life hero is something anyone would want to do. What has stayed with me, honestly, is the love from the officers, the soldiers and the pilots. The way they accepted us as civilians and granted us permission to enter the Air Force stations and shoot at these locations is something that isn't easy for anyone. So, yeah, that has stayed with me - the love I got from them. WION: We all know the broad history of the Kargil War, but was there anything you learnt while filming the series that really surprised you? Mihir Ahuja: I was one year old when the Kargil War took place. Like everyone else, I knew that we won the Kargil War, but I didn't know the details. What we've shown in this series is just one operation. Operation Safed Sagar has only shown one part- the story of No. 17 Squadron, the Golden Arrows. But there were a lot of squadrons and a lot of teams involved. We can't tell all the stories at once. So, if you're inspired just by watching this, it's not even one-fourth of the story of the Kargil War because it was also a story of the Army and the Navy. It was very, very vast, and we won it.

<p>“Japanese men have started shaving their legs after Japanese women accused them of harassment with their hairy legs. This summer, the country is so hot that many guys have begun wearing shorts to work—previously, they were only acceptable in childhood and for the beach. However, women found it unpleasant to be near the hairy legs of their colleagues. Then some men went to depilation salons to remove hair from their legs, and in other cases, from their bodies too. Thus, it has become easier for Japanese people to endure the heat and more comfortable to be in the office in shorts without embarrassment from their female colleagues,” wrote the third user.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-set-to-move-back-to-the-uk-with-their-children-1787192886584"><strong>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set to move back to the UK with their children</strong></a></p>

Men’s grooming clinics in Japan are seeing growing demand for leg and other body-hair removal for smooth skin and more comfort in the heat. Read to know more. 

As Japan is battling another scorching summer, the extreme heat is seeing an unexpected surge of men flocking to grooming clinics.

Shorts have consequently become more visible in office environments where they were traditionally considered too informal. Tokyo Metropolitan Government environmental official Noboru Watanabe told the BBC that "we want to give people more options in the severe heat, not tell them what to wear.” There should be no issue as long as the work attire is not offensive to anyone."

What is marriage? A piece of paper after all. I think we are already married and there is no doubt in my mind about that. But, sometimes what that piece of paper can also do is change you. Because it’s like you think it’s permanent, it’s a false notion in fact but you are just legally bound.”</p><p><br>For the unversed, Demetriades is a South African model and fashion designer. Before dating her, Rampal was married to former supermodel Mehr Jesia. They have two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra.</p>
