<p>It took the court 20 long years to convict 'serial offender' Salman Khan in the Blackbuck poaching case. And while most would accuse the judiciary for taking such a long time to declare its judgement, it is also a small victory for the Bishnoi community which <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/blackbuck-poaching-case-verdict-salman-khan-convicted-128435">kept the legal battle going for the past two decades.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the case, Salman Khan and others were accused of killing two blackbucks in Bhagoda ki Dhani in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the night of October 1, 1998 -- during the shooting of their film Hum Saath Saath Hain. They were charged under Section 51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act. The trial of the case has been in progress for the last 20 years.</p>

<p>The actor was also charged with two other poaching cases of Chinkara deer and black up in Bhawad village and Mathania village respectively.</p>

<p>Those who have been following the case for the past 20 years, would know that the case would not have gained such prominence in the media had it not involved the superstar and for the relentless persuasion of Bishnoi community to keep the legal battle going.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The community for centuries has worshipped and protected the nature. The community, started by Jammeshwarji Maharaj (Jambaji) around the 16 century AD, are governed by 29 set principles which include the protection and preservation of wildlife. The community is known to put their lives at stake in order to protect the rare antelope or a tree.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Bishnois of Jodhpur consider the black buck to be the reincarnation of their religious Guru Bhagwan Jambeshwar also known as Jambaji.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The people of this community are known to be God-fearing and gentle but show their aggressive side only when it comes to protecting their blackbucks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Bishnoi folklore, Jambaji is believed to have instructed his followers that blackbuck was to be revered as his manifestation. &nbsp;It is believed that when these animals raid the crops of the Bishnois, they prefer losing the crop than driving them away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Blackbucks are found in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and other parts of the country. The blackbuck is considered the most handsome member of the bovine family. Measuring a length of 120cm, with a height of 60 to 80cm, they weigh nearly 30 to 40kg.</p>

<p>The males have 50-60cm long horns while the females are hornless. Blackbucks do not shed their horns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The quantum of punishment is yet to be decided. Even if he is sentenced to jail, he will in all likelihood get bail and will in all probability appeal to the higher court. But one thing is for sure that the community which protects the animal like one of its on, will continue to put pressure and fight till they get justice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video has already cross 8 lac views in 17 hours and still counting. While some have outraged, there are others who have commented on the actors' chemistry. Someone even demanded that the two should work together in some film.&nbsp;<br />

<p><em>Sacred Games</em> focuses on Sartaj Singh, a seasoned and cynical Mumbai Police officer, summoned by an anonymous tip one morning by a voice which promises him an opportunity to capture the powerful Ganesh Gaitonde, criminal overlord of the G-Company.</p>

<p>As the stakes mount and Sartaj seeks knowledge of his prey, it becomes clear that the game the two players thought they were engaged in is, in fact, part of a much larger scenario, one that expands beyond their city.</p>

Saif Ali Khan says working on a web series is 'liberating as an actor'

<p>Saif Ali Khan has never been used to his full potential. The actor who has time and again proved that given a good role, he can shine (Remember Langda Tyagi from <em>Omkara</em>? ) has been going through a somewhat dry run at the Box Office for many years now. While the films fail to impress, Khan always manages to shine in his role putting in some genuine effort to make his character look believable (barring <em>The Humshakals </em>of course).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Khan&#39;s latest <em>Kaalakaandi</em> also falls in the same bracket, unfortunately. A film that could do so much more than what it is, Kaalakaandi only has few sparks in between its 112 hours of narrative but that is not good enough. Saif, on the other hand, shines- like he always does in a poorly written film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Based on one night in rain-soaked Mumbai, <em>Kaalakaandi </em>has multiple tracks. A couple is on the verge of separating (Kunal Roy Kapur and Shobhita Dhulipala) as the girl is set to fly off to America for her Ph.D. in a few hours. But first, they must head to their friend&#39;s (Shenaz Treasurywala in a lovely cameo) birthday party. Two local gangsters (Vijay Raaz and Deepak Dobriyal) plan to steal the money- a hefty sum-that rightfully belongs to their boss and plot a devious plan. A senior vice president of a bank (Saif Ali Khan) discovers he only has a few months to live and diagnosed with stomach cancer on the day his younger brother Angad (Akshay Oberoi) to get married.

<p>A loosely written screenplay hampers the narrative of the film majorly. Written and directed by <em>Delhi Belly</em> writer Akshat Verma, the film&#39;s first half lacks coherence. One really doesn&#39;t know where the film is heading for the longest time. The two gangsters spend too much time just thinking about how to steal the money. No one from home calls when Angad and his elder brother literally disappear for the good part of the night. While all the stories are taking place on the same night, it is not clearly established if they are taking place at the same time. Also, the writer takes too much time to establish each of the plots and at the interval, one still doesn&#39;t know very clearly where all the stories are heading.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The dialogues in the film are conversational, which is a good thing and the lines are laced with sarcasm and wry humour and Verma makes Mumbai city also a character in the film. Just a very somber character and not as vivacious as Bollywood projects it to be.<br />

Among the various tracks, the most coherent ones are the one involving Shobita Dhulipala and Kunal Roy Kapur and Saif Ali Khan and a Sheela, a transwoman (Nyaari Singh). In fact, Khan and Singh&#39;s track is perhaps the most enjoyable, genuine and entertaining. The two share some hilarious and some poignant moments together. That&#39;s one track which deserved a full film perhaps. Roy Kapoor and Shobhita Dhulipala also make for a perfect modern-day couple who rediscover their feelings for each other on that odd night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rest of the tracks just seemed to be hurriedly put which is unfortunate because the film does boast of an interesting gamut of stars.

<p>Khan, on the other hand, plays the haggard nameless man trying to live life to the fullest on that one night with absolute ease. He is drug-induced and Mumbai city lights up for him in such a state and makes him realize that there is so much to do before he signs off for good. His character oscillates between being crazy, vulnerable and goofy and Khan pulls off all the traits perfectly.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Overall <em>Kaalakaandi </em>suffers because of incoherence. It shines in few moments and those involve Saif Ali Khan.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Ratings</strong>: 2/5</p>


Saif Ali Khan has never been used to his full potential. The actor who has time and again proved that given a good role, he can shine (Remember Langda Tyagi from Omkara? ) has been going through a somewhat dry run at the Box Office for many years now. While the films fail to impress, Khan always manages to shine in his role putting in some genuine effort to make his character look believable (barring The Humshakals of course). Khan's latest Kaalakaandi also falls in the same bracket, unfortunately. A film that could do so much more than what it is, Kaalakaandi only has few sparks in between its 112 hours of narrative but that is not good enough. Saif, on the other hand, shines- like he always does in a poorly written film. Based on one night in rain-soaked Mumbai, Kaalakaandi has multiple tracks. A couple is on the verge of separating (Kunal Roy Kapur and Shobhita Dhulipala) as the girl is set to fly off to America for her Ph.D. in a few hours. But first, they must head to their friend's (Shenaz Treasurywala in a lovely cameo) birthday party. Two local gangsters (Vijay Raaz and Deepak Dobriyal) plan to steal the money- a hefty sum-that rightfully belongs to their boss and plot a devious plan. A senior vice president of a bank (Saif Ali Khan) discovers he only has a few months to live and diagnosed with stomach cancer on the day his younger brother Angad (Akshay Oberoi) to get married. Angad, on the other hand, wants to get in on with his ex-girlfriend before he gets married. A loosely written screenplay hampers the narrative of the film majorly.

The movie is scheduled to be released this Friday.

Here's Aamir Khan's review of Saif Ali Khan's Kaalakaandi

<p>2017 saw the success of many middle-of-the-road films. From Hindi Medium to Newton, filmmakers gave audience stories that were&nbsp;thought provoking. The big budget masala potboilers were rejected by the audience as people lauded smaller films.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The new year will see Bollywood churning out some highly anticipated films along with small budget films. The first three months are packed with some very interesting films. From Rani Mukerji&#39;s comeback in <em>Hichki</em> to Akshay Kumar turning a do-gooder in <em>Padman</em> - there is much to look forward to from Bollywood. Apart from the big names, there are also films like <em>Mukkabaaz, Pari, Parmanu</em> which will try to strike a chord with the audience. And of course, the beginning of 2018 will finally witness the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s grand <em>Padmavat</em><em>.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
So, here&#39;s our list of 11 films to look forward to in the first quarter of 2018<br />
<br />
<strong>Kaalakaandi:</strong> There is something about Saif Ali Khan that always appeals. The Nawab hasn&#39;t delivered a hit for a long time but continues to generate curiosity thanks to his unique choices in films. After playing the main protagonist in last year&#39;s Chef, Khan will be seen in a dark comedy called<em> Kaalakaandi </em>which has an ensemble cast. Directed by Akshat Verma, the film will release on January 12th.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RsfUZe606LQ" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p><strong>Mukkabaaz:&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;Anurag Kashyap casts the underrated Vineet Singh in the titular role in his new film <em>Mukkabaaz.</em> Set in Uttar Pradesh, the story is of a lower caste boxer who dares to fall in love with an upper caste girl. Co-starring Jimmy Shergill and Ravi Kishan, the film will have Kashyap&#39;s signature style of drama and violence with a powerful storyline. Set to release on January 12th.</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fl3gun0J8XM" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<strong>Padman:</strong> Akshay Kumar turns a superhero of sorts as he becomes a crusader for women in R Balki&#39;s Padman. Based on a real-life incident, Akshay Kumar will be seen playing a do-gooder who propagates the importance of menstrual hygiene and creates low-cost sanitary napkins in the film. The film also features Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor and has been produced by Twinkle Khanna. Padman will be releasing on 26th January.</p>

<br />
<strong>Aiyaary- </strong>Neeraj Pandey&#39;s film on treason will be clashing with the filmmaker&#39;s favourite actor Akshay Kumar&#39;s film. Set to release on 26th January, the film will have Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee playing members of the special task force.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KcWXKmnZZVo" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<strong>Padmavat:</strong> After protests, bans, cuts in scenes and a name change, Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s <em>Padmavat</em> will finally see the light of the day. While the release date has not yet been fixed, but sources state that the film will release in mid-February. Featuring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh- it is &#39;fictional&#39;account on Chittor&#39;s Rani Padmini. Since its a Bhansali film, expect the scale to be grand.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X_5_BLt76c0" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<strong>Pari:</strong> Anushka Sharma&#39;s first film post her wedding to Virat Kohli will have her playing a woman who has faced abuse in the past. A thriller of sorts, the film also features Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee and has been directed by Prosit Roy. Produced by Anushka, Pari is scheduled to release in the theatre on 9th February.</p>

<p><strong>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety:</strong> Luv Ranjan gets his Pyaar Ka Punchnama team back for a&nbsp;hilarious comedy where the girlfriend and the best friend Titu fight it out for his attention. Featuring Katrik Aryan, Nusrat Bharucha and Sunny Singh, the film&#39;s trailer has already created a lot of buzz. It is scheduled to release on 9th February.</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M2q64UowX9g" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p><strong>Hichki:</strong> Rani Mukerji&#39;s first film post the birth of her daughter Adira has her playing a teacher suffering from Tourette&rsquo;s Syndrome, a neuropsychiatric disorder that manifests itself in motor or vocal tics. The film traces her journey as a teacher and how she overcomes the problem as well as wins over a difficult set of pupils. Directed by Sidharth P Malhotra, the film should serve as a treat for Rani Mukerji fans as she gets to showcase her acting prowess in a difficult, challenging character. The film releases on 23 February.</p>

<p><strong>Parmanu:</strong> We haven&#39;t seen John Abraham in a film for a long time. The actor-producer is all set to return on the big screen with a film called<em> Parmanu: The Story Of </em><em>Pokhran</em>. Co-starring Diana Penty, the film is about based on the nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army at Pokhran in 1998. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, it will release on 23 February.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The tradition was started by Shashi Kapoor and his wife Jennifer. As the veteran actor passed away a few weeks back, the Kapoors decided to continue the tradition.&nbsp;</p>


We just cannot get enough of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's son Taimur. The little one was the main attraction at the Kapoor family's annual Christmas lunch despite the presence of his well-known relatives. As Kareena and Saif arrived at late actor Shashi Kapoor's residence for the get-together, all eyes were on Taimur as he posed along with his parents for the media. Dressed in blue denim and greed t-shirt, the cute little boy even smiled at the cameras.

Taimur Ali Khan is the star attraction at Kapoor family's annual Christmas lunch

<p>Saif Ali Khan says there was a time when music acted as a catalyst in making a film successful, but the actor is unsure if the formula still works.<br />
<br />
The 47-year-old actor, who had musical hits in films such as<em> Hum Tum</em>, <em>Salaam Namaste</em>&nbsp;and <em>Cocktail</em>, said experimental phase Bollywood is going through has somewhat diluted the significance of song-and-dance routine.<br />
<br />
&quot;The films would even get big opening if the songs were a hit. As we have grown or changed, there are less and less songs. I don&#39;t know if it is a good thing (or not).<br />
<br />
&quot;In the outskirts of India and rural areas, and in cabs, people listen to Hindi music a lot. I think part of hero&#39;s charm is to sing songs. I don&#39;t know if we have lost that culture (or not),&quot; Saif said.<br />
<br />
The actor was speaking at the launch of <em>Swagpur Ka Chaudhary</em>&nbsp;song from his upcoming film<em> Kaalakaandi</em>.</p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FGMzkrUpefY" width="560"></iframe><br />
&quot;It is a great song. When we do a film, we need music to promote it and make it more interesting,&quot; he added.<br />
<br />
This year Saif was seen in two films - <em>Rangoon</em>&nbsp;and <em>Chef</em>. The movies, hoverer, did not do as good as expected at the box office.<br />
<br />
Talking about the year gone-by, the actor said, &quot;It wasn&#39;t particularly great professionally. But it was a very interesting experience. I learnt a lot about acting and worked with lot of wonderful people, who taught me new things.<br />
<br />
&quot;I am a changed actor to what I was when I was doing <em>Phantom</em>... I have managed to keep abreast and move with the current style and it is the greatest thing I could have achieved,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Saif added his agenda for 2018 is to keep moving ahead and the actor hopes <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;impresses the audiences.<br />
<br />
Directed by Akshat Verma, the movie releases on January 12.&nbsp;</p>

Taimur Ali Khan turns one: 12 absolutely adorable photos of Kareena-Saif's baby

<p>Media&#39;s darling, &#39;prince&#39; Taimur Ali Khan is all of one now. And his parents have whisked him away to Pataudi Palace- away from the prying lenses of the media- for an intimate celebration of his first birthday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For the world, Taimur&#39;s aunt Karisma Kapoor&#39;s Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated. Karisma has been sharing photos of the Birthday boy along with his family members over the past few days.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
We saw photos of Taimur enjoying a horse ride with his father, actor Saif Ali Khan and a ride on the tractor with his cousins, Karisma&#39;s children, Karisma and mom Kareena Kapoor.</p>

For the world, Taimur's aunt Karisma Kapoor's Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated.

Media's darling, 'prince' Taimur Ali Khan is all of one now. And his parents have whisked him away to Pataudi Palace- away from the prying lenses of the media- for an intimate celebration of his first birthday. For the world, Taimur's aunt Karisma Kapoor's Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated. Karisma has been sharing photos of the Birthday boy along with his family members over the past few days. We saw photos of Taimur enjoying a horse ride with his father, actor Saif Ali Khan and a ride on the tractor with his cousins, Karisma's children, Karisma and mom Kareena Kapoor.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will ring in their son's first birthday at the Pataudi Palace.

Karisma shared some warm family photos from the Pataudi Palace where the Khans and Kapoors have gathered to celebrate the little one's birthday.

<p>Director Akshat Verma says Saif Ali Khan was the first choice for his directorial venture<em> Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;but at one point the makers did approach Fawad Khan to play the same part.<br />
<br />
Akshat has revealed that when the film was with UTV, they were in talks with Fawad to play the role, which is now being played by Saif.<br />
<br />
&quot;Fawad was supposed to be one of the actors we talked to when the project was with UTV. It was around 2013... He was going to play the role Saif plays. But ultimately everything happens for a reason and for the best. No one could have done the role better than Saif,&quot; Akshat says in an interview with PTI.<br />
<br />
<em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;chronicles the story of six characters from different worlds of Mumbai in a span of 12 hours and how the lives of complete strangers intersect.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Akshat says his &quot;instinct for Saif was right&quot; as he had written the film initially keeping him in mind.</p>

<p>&quot;When I first messaged Saif, I didn&#39;t get a reply from him. When I finally met him, it was almost two years to the date I had texted him, and I still have the message saved.<br />
<br />
&quot;This time, he had read the script because Ashi (Dua, one of the producers) had sent it to him. He said &#39;ok we are on&#39; in five minutes. So the time period was, on one hand two years and on the other, just five minutes to get Saif,&quot; he adds.</p>

<p>Akshat dived into the world of <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;right after his big hit <em>Delhi Belly</em>, which he had written. He took nearly a year to write the script of <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;but the project went through &quot;a mad roller coaster ride.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;It is common knowledge that the film was earlier with UTV, we were about to shoot but four days before that the project was shut down. After that, things fell apart, we had to put it together again. Everything takes time,&quot; he said.<br />
Both <em>Delhi Belly</em>&nbsp;and <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;fall in the genre of dark comedy, which is rarely explored in Bollywood.<br />
<br />
When asked is it because his scripts are so unconventional that people don&#39;t really understand his language and vision, Akshat says, &quot;Often people say they enjoy the script, love it, but (it is) not enough to make it as a film. It is like breaking up with someone by saying &#39;I love you but not enough to marry you.&#39;</p>

<p>But can the waiting period be frustrating and the director says, &quot;it is the most disappointing part&quot;?<br />
<br />
&quot;You feel that the time seems to move in six months chunk. Suddenly you look up and the year has gone by, it seems you haven&#39;t done anything. You have been trying, waiting, they (makers) read your script, get back to you, six months have gone by and then they say &#39;no,&#39;&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
In this scenario--where a project is being delayed and people are not willing to back your vision-- Akshat says the only way to keep himself motivated was by being &quot;stubborn.&quot;</p>

<p>Produced by Cinestaan Film Company and Ashi Dua Sara of Flying Unicorn, the film stars Saif along with Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Kunaal Roy Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Akshay Oberoi, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur and Neil Bhoopalam.</p>

<p><em>Kaalakaandi&nbsp;</em>is scheduled to release on January 12 next year.&nbsp;</p>

Feels like my film is releasing: Saif Ali Khan on daughter Sara's acting debut

<p>Saif Ali Khan&#39;s <em>Kaalakaandi </em>has generated a lot of curiosity ever since the makers have released its first trailer. A dark comedy by Akshat Verma, it has Saif Ali Khan playing a madcap living his life to the fullest after he learns he is diagnosed with stomach cancer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film was initially to release in 2017. But the censor board raised objections regarding some of its content and cleared it only now. The film is now scheduled to release on January 12th. But speculations are rife that Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s<em> Padmavati</em> may also release on the same date. Would Saif&#39;s film stand a chance at the Box Office if such a situation arises?&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;If Padmavati comes in [on that day], we will think of shifting our release date. I hope we don&rsquo;t have to do that. Kaalakaandi is a film I am proud of,&rdquo; Saif Ali Khan said to the media during the trailer launch event of the film.&nbsp;<br />
Saif&#39;s last few films haven&#39;t worked at the Box Office and the actor is aware of it. &quot;It&rsquo;s easy to think that people no longer want to see me in a film. But I don&rsquo;t do that. I get my confidence back every time, irrespective of whether my film works or not. I&rsquo;ll keep working and hopefully, things will fall into place,&quot;<a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/saif-ali-khan-will-shift-kaalakaandi-release-if-padmavati-hits-theatres/18803175">Mid-day</a> was quoted Saif&nbsp;as saying.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor is also okay with the idea if both <em>Kaalakaandi </em>and <em>Padmavati </em>release on the same day. &quot;It would have been nice to see <em>Kaalakaandi </em>releasing with Padmavati, as it shows that we have a film industry, which makes different kinds of movies. Recently, we saw <em>Secret Superstar </em>and <em>Golmaal Again </em>releasing on the same day and both films did well. Personally, I feel it&#39;s a good time to have films releasing alongside one another. But filmmakers are wary about it and you need to take that into consideration.&quot;</p>

<p><em>Kaalakaandi</em> also features Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Shobhita Dhulipala and Kunal Roy Kapur.</p>

<p>Jabalpur high court to hear a petition by&nbsp;Dr Arif Mirza, a Lahore resident, who claimed that he was the legal heir of the property in Bhopal.</p>

<p>Mirza claims that his mother was the daughter of former Nawab Hamidullah, the great-grandfather of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and&nbsp;the last Nawab of Bhopal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the impleadment application filed in the Court, Mirza seeks to be recognised as a legal heir of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, thereby allowing him to contest the claim on around 30 disputed properties worth crores of rupees.</p>

<p>However, the actor and his mother Sharmila Tagore have contested Mirza&#39;s claim in the court on the grounds that he was a Pakistani citizen and therefore not a legal heir, as per the Defence Rules and under the Enemy Property Rights Act. In their submissions, Khan alleged that his grandmother Nawab Sajida Begum is the &quot;sole successor&quot; to all properties &mdash; movable and immovable.</p>

<p>Responding to these claims, advocate Arjun Bobde submitted that even though his client Mirza lived in Pakistan, he was still an Indian citizen, DNA reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mirza further clarified to DNA that though he was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he spent a significant amount of time in Bhopal. &quot;I shifted to Lahore with my mother many years ago, and though my passport lapsed, I did not relinquish my Indian citizenship,&quot; Mirza said.</p>

<p>&quot;I wanted to return home a long time ago,&quot; Mirza said, sitting in Bobde&#39;s office. However, Mirza&#39;s dream was realised when he was granted a white passport &mdash; an emergency one, after a two-year struggle. &quot;It has been a very long time since I&#39;ve seen my childhood home in Bhopal,&quot; Mirza said while reminiscing about his plans.</p>

<p>Mirza hopes to take his time settling in and focus on the age-old property dispute his late father Nasir Mirza was involved with. &quot;First, I want to focus on the legal issues that I have to face, then perhaps, I don&#39;t know, I may pursue my Masters here,&quot; DNA quoted Mirza as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, Mirza and Saif&#39;s claim over the ancestral property in Bhopal is in danger after the Lok Sabha passed a long-pending Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016, amending the Enemy Property Act (it prevents the successors of those who migrated to Pakistan and China during Partition from claiming properties left behind in India).</p>


A Lahore resident Dr Arif Mirza has claimed that he was the legal heir of the property and it belonged to him.

Jabalpur high court to hear a petition by Dr Arif Mirza, a Lahore resident, who claimed that he was the legal heir of the property in Bhopal. Mirza claims that his mother was the daughter of former Nawab Hamidullah, the great-grandfather of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and the last Nawab of Bhopal. According to the impleadment application filed in the Court, Mirza seeks to be recognised as a legal heir of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, thereby allowing him to contest the claim on around 30 disputed properties worth crores of rupees. However, the actor and his mother Sharmila Tagore have contested Mirza's claim in the court on the grounds that he was a Pakistani citizen and therefore not a legal heir, as per the Defence Rules and under the Enemy Property Rights Act. In their submissions, Khan alleged that his grandmother Nawab Sajida Begum is the "sole successor" to all properties — movable and immovable. Responding to these claims, advocate Arjun Bobde submitted that even though his client Mirza lived in Pakistan, he was still an Indian citizen, DNA reported. Mirza further clarified to DNA that though he was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he spent a significant amount of time in Bhopal. "I shifted to Lahore with my mother many years ago, and though my passport lapsed, I did not relinquish my Indian citizenship," Mirza said. "I wanted to return home a long time ago," Mirza said, sitting in Bobde's office. However, Mirza's dream was realised when he was granted a white passport — an emergency one, after a two-year struggle. "It has been a very long time since I've seen my childhood home in Bhopal," Mirza said while reminiscing about his plans. Mirza hopes to take his time settling in and focus on the age-old property dispute his late father Nasir Mirza was involved with. "First, I want to focus on the legal issues that I have to face, then perhaps, I don't know, I may pursue my Masters here," DNA quoted Mirza as saying. Interestingly, Mirza and Saif's claim over the ancestral property in Bhopal is in danger after the Lok Sabha passed a long-pending Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016, amending the Enemy Property Act (it prevents the successors of those who migrated to Pakistan and China during Partition from claiming properties left behind in India).

Court to hear Pak man's claim to Saif Ali Khan's Bhopal property

<p>Days after Karan Johar and Saif Ali Khan came under fire for their &ldquo;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/life-fun/kangana-vs-nepotism-rocks-trio-18079">nepotism rocks</a>&rdquo; remark, Saif Ali Khan wrote an <a href="http://www.wionews.com/life-fun/dna-exclusive-saif-ali-khan-writes-open-letter-over-nepotism-rocks-furore-18150">open letter </a>apologising for what he said. The controversy, however, doesn&#39;t &nbsp;end here as Kangana Ranaut has come out with her own open letter slamming the duo&#39;s comments on nepotism in Bollywood.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;This morning, I woke up to one such open letter (circulating online), written by Saif Ali Khan. The last time I was deeply pained and upset about this issue was when Mr Karan Johar wrote a blog on it, and even once declared in an interview that there are many criteria for excelling in film business. Talent is not one of them. I don&#39;t know if he was being misinformed, or simply na&iuml;ve, but to discredit the likes of Mr Dilip Kumar, Mr K Asif, Mr Bimal Roy, Mr Satyajit Ray, Mr Guru Dutt, and many more, whose talent and exceptional abilities have formed the spine of our contemporary film business, is absolutely bizarre.&rdquo; she wrote.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The actress also commented on Khan&rsquo;s&nbsp;letter.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;My dear friend Saif has written a letter on this topic and I would like to share my perspective&rdquo;, She said.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;Saif, in your letter you mentioned that, &lsquo;I apologised to Kangana, and I don&#39;t owe anyone any explanation, and this issue is over.&rsquo; But this is not my issue alone. Nepotism is a practice where people tend to act upon temperamental human emotions, rather than intellectual tendencies.&rdquo; She said.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Ranaut even said that if Khan&nbsp;is right about &ldquo;the relationship between genetics and star kids&rdquo; she should have been a farmer.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;Are you implying that artistic skills, hard-work, experience, concentration spans, enthusiasm, eagerness, discipline and love, can be inherited through family genes? If your point was true, I would be a farmer back home. I wonder which gene from my gene-pool gave me the keenness to observe my environment, and the dedication to interpret and pursue my interests&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>

The actress wrote an open letter in response to Khan's letter slamming his comments on the 'relationship between genetics and star kids'

Days after Karan Johar and Saif Ali Khan came under fire for their “nepotism rocks” remark, Saif Ali Khan wrote an open letter apologising for what he said. The controversy, however, doesn't end here as Kangana Ranaut has come out with her own open letter slamming the duo's comments on nepotism in Bollywood. “This morning, I woke up to one such open letter (circulating online), written by Saif Ali Khan.

The actress also commented on Khan’s letter. “My dear friend Saif has written a letter on this topic and I would like to share my perspective”, She said. “Saif, in your letter you mentioned that, ‘I apologised to Kangana, and I don't owe anyone any explanation, and this issue is over.’ But this is not my issue alone.
