Actor-philanthropist Sonu Sood has yet again come forward to help people in need. While the actor’s philanthropic work during COVID earned him several fans, he continued his work showcasing his support to many. In recent times, the actor has come forward to support those infants who are battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a disorder that causes severe muscle weakness. The treatment for this cause requires a whopping amount of Rs. 16 crores, and Sood’s dedication towards crowdfunding has helped save the lives of as many as 11 babies, who were suffering from the same disorder.

Recently, Sonu Sood came forward in support of a seven-month-old Sehrish Fatema, who is battling SMA Type 1. The actor has urged the public to donate and contribute to Sherish’s cause. “A small contribution can make a world of difference for this little girl and her family,” Sood said. The crowdfunding campaign to save Fatema’s life has gained momentum with Sood’s support. Apart from this, the actor also supports several other causes through his NGO, Sood Charity Foundation.

In an earlier interview with TimesNow, Sonu Sood had revealed that he finds helping people ‘very fulfilling’. He had said, “It feels very fulfilling as though I’ve found my true calling in life. What happened to my life before seems inconsequential. Of course, I will always be an actor first. But in all honesty, the work I’ve done during the past three years has given me more satisfaction than everything I did before. The faith that people have in me to help them out of their distress is very motivating.”

On the theatrical front, Sonu Sood is busy working on his upcoming film Fateh. This cybercrime thriller marks his directorial maiden venture and is expected to revolve around the subject of cyber bullying. Along with him, the film will also feature Naseeruddin Shah and Jacqueline Fernandez in pivotal roles. Fateh is slated to hit the theatres on January 10, 2025.

Facing criticism for advocating the return of the repealed farm laws, Bollywood actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut clarified on Wednesday that her remarks were personal and did not represent her party’s official stance. The controversy stemmed from comments made by Ranaut during an event in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, where she urged the government to reconsider the farm laws, which were repealed in 2021 following nationwide protests.

Kangana’s Personal Views on Farm Laws
Addressing the backlash, Ranaut took to X (formerly Twitter), to distance her comments from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating, “ I also have to keep this in mind. I am not an artist. I am a worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party and my opinions should be the party’s stand instead of being my own. So if I disappoint anyone with my words and my thinking, I will be sorry and I take my words back.” 

Do listen to this, I stand with my party regarding Farmers Law. Jai Hind ???????? pic.twitter.com/wMcc88nlK2
— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) September 25, 2024

At the event, Ranaut remarked that the protests against the farm laws had been concentrated in only a few states. She stated, “Farmers are a pillar of strength in India’s progress. Only in some states, they object to farm laws. I appeal with folded hands that farm laws should be brought back in the interest of farmers.” Ranaut argued that reintroducing the laws would ensure greater financial stability for farmers and boost growth in the agricultural sector.
Opposition’s Response
Ranaut’s remarks have not gone unnoticed by the opposition. The Congress party criticized her statements, suggesting that they signal an effort by the ruling party to bring back the controversial legislation. Congress leaders also noted that her comments come at a critical time, as Haryana is gearing up for its assembly elections on October 5. For the unversed, the state had been a focal point of the 2021 farmer protests, particularly at the Delhi borders, where large groups of farmers demanded the repeal of the three laws.

Coming back to Ranaut, besides her political remarks, she is also making headlines for her upcoming film, Emergency. The film is currently being held and CBFC is supposed to give their final decision on it, today.

Stand-up comedian, rapper and singer Munawar Faruqui has recently purchased an apartment in a luxurious high-rise project in Mumbai. The property, located in the upscale neighbourhood of New Cuffe Parade, Wadala, was acquired for Rs. 6.09 crore, according to property transaction documents reviewed by Square Yards.

Wadala has emerged as a prime real estate hotspot, owing to its strategic location and seamless connectivity to Mumbai’s main financial district, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The area is well-known for its blend of residential and commercial developments, making it a favoured destination for both high-profile individuals and corporate buyers.

Faruqui’s new home is situated in Lodha Aura, an under-construction premium project developed by Macrotech Developers Limited (Lodha Group). The 40-story tower offers luxurious 3 BHK and 4 BHK apartments with range of amenities. Faruqui’s purchase was a part of primary market transaction, made directly from the developer.

According to Square Yards, the apartment spans 164.25 sq. m. (1,767.97 sq. ft.) of built-up area and includes three dedicated parking spaces. The transaction, finalized in September 2024, came with a stamp duty of Rs. 36.6 lakh and a registration fee of Rs. 30,000.
