Actor Ram Kapoor wasn't the first Indian. Which cricketer beat him to the Rs 5 crore Lamborghini Urus?
Ram Kapoor has recently drawn significant public interest—not only due to his reappearance on screen but also because of his latest addition to his luxury car collection : a Lamborghini Urus SE . Several media outlets had earlier speculated that the popular actor was the first Indian to own this high-performance SUV. However, Kapoor has now addressed those claims and provided a more accurate version of events. While promoting his upcoming digital series Mistry, Kapoor spoke exclusively to NDTV , sharing his perspective on the excitement around his new vehicle. During the interaction, he clarified that he was not the first Indian to purchase the Lamborghini Urus SE. In fact, according to him, nearly four or five others had already bought the same model before him. However, what sets his car apart is its unique shade—making him possibly the first Indian to own the vehicle in that particular colour variant. Adding further context to the discussion, Kapoor mentioned that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar also owns the same SUV model. This effectively quashes the notion that Kapoor was the original Indian buyer of the car. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Click Here) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo For those unfamiliar with the model, the Lamborghini Urus SE is a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV that officially debuted in the Indian market in April 2024. With a starting price tag of approximately ₹5.21 crore, it caters to an elite clientele. Kapoor's acquisition of this automobile added to his already impressive fleet, which includes names like the Ferrari Portofino M, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Range Rover Autobiography, and the Mercedes-AMG G 63. When the photos of his new Lamborghini surfaced online, they quickly went viral, especially since his wife, Gautami Kapoor, appeared alongside him during the delivery of the vehicle. On the professional front, Kapoor is preparing for his return to acting with the web series Mistry, which is set to premiere on JioHotstar starting June 27, 2025. The series also stars Mona Singh, who joins him in a story filled with suspense, drama, and crime. In Mistry, Kapoor takes on the role of a private investigator entangled in a complicated web of deception, danger, and secrets. As his character delves deeper into a mysterious case, startling revelations begin to surface, driving the narrative forward with twists and surprises. Mona Singh plays a law enforcement officer whose journey intersects with Kapoor's, creating a dynamic and layered storyline. With a lavish new car and a compelling role on screen, Ram Kapoor continues to remain a figure of fascination for fans and media alike.

'Karisma Kapoor ne picture maang ke lee,' says Pahlaj Nihalini as he slams Anil Kapoor for his comment on the controversial song from Andaz: 'Jhooth hai no 1'
A song from Anil Kapoor , Juhi Chawla and Karisma Kapoor 's 'Andaz' created a huge stir for its double meaning lyrics. This song called 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' faced immense backlash. In an old interview, Anil had called 'Andaz' a B-grade movie and said that he did the film just for money as he didn't have work that time. He also had said that he didn't know about this song in the film and had also opposed to it. In a recent interview, when producer Pahlaj Nihalini was told about Kapoor's comments, he retorted. Nihalini said during an interview with Vickey Lalwani, "I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B-grade movie. Woh tarasta tha Andaz karne ko. Karisma ne picture maang ke liye. People were desperate to work with me, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B-grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?" When the interview told him about Kapoor's comment on the song, he said, "Jhooth hai number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. Usne bola, ke yeh gaane se hi picture hit hogi." He said, "Sirf Juhi (Chawla) ne bola tha yeh kya movement hai? Toh maine kaha aise koi movement hi nahi hai." He added, "Anil Kapoor was mad. Usne toh kaha yeh gaana hit hai. Toh aise sab jhoothe interviews deke doosre aadmi ko neecha dikhate hai. I've never made a B-grade movie in my life!"

Raj Kapoor studio redevelopment project: MahaRERA directs Godrej Properties to refund homebuyers without interest
The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has directed Godrej Properties to refund, without interest, the amounts paid by six homebuyers for seven flats in its Chembur-based project, Godrej RKS, in Mumbai. Godrej Properties acquired the project from the Kapoor family for residential development, redeveloping the former film studio owned by the late Bollywood actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor. The homebuyers had cited financial difficulties following the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for seeking a refund. MahaRERA instructed that the agreements be terminated once the refund is processed. While ordering the refund, the authority clarified that it cannot alter the terms of the agreement at this stage and directed the developer to refund the amounts as per the original contract, without any additional interest. In its order dated May 29, MahaRERA noted that the developer had issued termination letters to all complainants between August 2021 and July 2023. It clarified that there was no delay in handing over possession; rather, the complainants had defaulted on the agreed payment schedules As per the agreements, payments were to be made in stages linked to construction milestones. All homebuyers had signed application forms or sale agreements that clearly outlined the terms of default. The Authority ruled that it could not alter these contractual terms and found that five homebuyers, each associated with one flat, were not entitled to the refunds they had claimed.

The Authority found the termination to be valid and stated that the developer is at liberty to proceed under Section 11(5) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, to execute the cancellation deed. It also directed the complainants/allottees to cooperate and execute the cancellation deed. Additionally, MahaRERA instructed the developer to refund all amounts received from the homebuyer towards the consideration of the flats within 60 days from the date of the order, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Upon receipt of the refund, MahaRERA directed the homebuyers to execute the cancellation deed within 30 days, on a date mutually convenient to both parties. The Authority also clarified that the homebuyers are not entitled to any interest on the refunded amount. Meanwhile, an email query has been sent to Godrej Properties. If a response is received, the story will be updated. Six homebuyers purchased seven apartments in the Godrej RKS project located in Chembur, Mumbai. Of these, five apartments were transferred to buyers through registered agreements for sale, while one was allotted via an allotment letter in 2020. According to the MahaRERA order, the total consideration value for the seven units was ₹28.80 crore, of which the homebuyers had paid ₹6.21 crore. Out of the six homebuyers, five approached MahaRERA seeking to withdraw from the project and requested a refund. They submitted that they had received termination letters from the developer stating that the entire amount paid had been forfeited. The complainants were also directed to return all documents related to their respective units. The homebuyers cited financial and personal hardships arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of which, they claimed, continues to affect them. Also Read: Over 29,000 complaints filed by homebuyers against 5,500 real estate projects in Maharashtra: MahaRERA data One of the six homebuyers stated that the developer had not executed a sale agreement and, after receiving a termination notice prior to the issuance of the Occupancy Certificate, was pressured via email to book another flat in a different project despite there being no such clause in the original application. The buyer also alleged that no clear calculation was provided regarding the non-refundable amount. The other four homebuyers claimed they had attempted to transfer their bookings to new buyers, but delays and a lack of response from the developer eventually led to cancellations. The sixth homebuyer, who had purchased two apartments, cited financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for non-payment and expressed a desire to continue with the purchase. In response to the complaints, the developer stated that one of the homebuyers had accepted the termination letter and subsequently booked a flat in another project, Godrej Urban Park. Therefore, the developer argued, the complaint related to the Godrej RKS project was no longer valid. They also contended that there was no valid contract as no sale agreement had been executed. Since the homebuyer had defaulted on payments, the developer maintained it was within its rights to terminate the booking and forfeit a portion of the amount as per the agreed terms. Regarding the other four homebuyers, the developer said that there was no delay in possession. The Occupation Certificate (OC) for the project was issued in December 2023, well before the scheduled deadline of June 2024. As a result, the refund claims were not applicable under Section 18 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The developer further noted that one of the complainants had filed duplicate complaints seeking the same refund, which it termed as a misuse of the legal process. In the case of the sixth homebuyer, who had booked two flats, the developer said the buyer failed to clear outstanding dues despite being given multiple opportunities. The developer argued that the homebuyer could not now seek an extension or request changes to the contract terms. It also said that the reliefs being sought were beyond the jurisdiction of RERA and that the developer had incurred financial losses due to the delays, for which it should be compensated.

Set up just a year after India gained Independence, the studio became a significant part of Indian cinema history and was associated with several classic films over the decades. In May 2019, the Kapoor family sold the 2.2-acre property to Godrej Properties for real estate development. According to registration documents accessed by the land parcel measuring 9,655.10 sq. m was acquired for approximately ₹250 crore. Godrej Properties announced plans to develop a premium mixed-use project on the site, named Godrej RKS. The project was registered with MahaRERA in January 2020, with a scheduled completion date of December 2024. In January 2020, the company launched a luxury residential offering at the site, featuring 'Collector's Edition' three- and four-bedroom residences. The project's architecture draws inspiration from Bombay Art Deco, paying homage to the legacy and cultural significance of the original RK Studios.
