Mumbai: The much-anticipated reality show Roadies is back with a bang, and it’s time for some action-packed entertainment! The anticipation is palpable, thanks to an all-star panel of judges that includes Gautam Gulati, Sonu Sood, Prince Narula, and Rhea Chakraborty. However, as with any new season, controversy is unavoidable.
When it was announced that Rhea Chakraborty would be appearing on the show, a section of the audience threatened to boycott it. And it appears that the tensions have now spilled over onto the set. According to the latest reports, Gautam and Prince have decided not to shoot with Rhea due to fears of being trolled.
But wait a minute, don’t jump to any conclusions just yet! We know you’re curious about what’s going on, and we’ve got the inside scoop. Things appear to be tense between the gang leaders and Rhea, but that’s to be expected on a show like Roadies. With so much competition and drama, tempers are bound to flare.
And here’s the thing Prince Narula already in the past has come out in support of Rhea, saying that he’s proud of her decision to return to work and face her critics. He believes that everyone deserves another chance and that Rhea should give the show her all. If she has something to say, what better place to say it than on Roadies?
So, Roadies fans, it appears that we’re in for a wild ride this season. With such a talented and diverse panel of judges, anything is possible. And who knows what else? Perhaps Rhea will surprise us all and win over her detractors with her abilities and determination. Whatever happens, we can’t wait to see what happens!
New Delhi: Activist Gautam Navlakha, who was ordered to be kept under house arrest in a public library in Mumbai in connection with the Elgar Parishad-Maoist link case, on Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking a change of address.
A bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna was told by counsel for Navlakha, that the place, where he is under house arrest, is a public library and needs to be vacated.
“All I am seeking is change of address in Mumbai”, Navlakha’s counsel said, requesting for urgent hearing.
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who was appearing in another matter in the court, said he had no idea about the mentioning of the application and sought time to respond to it.
The bench said it will take up the matter for hearing on next Friday.
On November 10, last year, the top court allowed Navlakha, who was then lodged in Navi Mumbai’s Taloja prison in connection with the case, to be placed under house arrest owing to his deteriorating health.
Noting the activist has been in custody since April 14, 2020, and prima facie there is no reason to reject his medical report, it had said Navlakha does not have any criminal background except this case and even the Government of India had appointed him as interlocutor to hold talks with Maoists.
The case relates to alleged inflammatory speeches made at the Elgar Parishad conclave held in Pune on December 31, 2017, which the police claim triggered violence the next day near the Koregaon-Bhima war memorial on the outskirts of the western Maharashtra city.
Mumbai: Industrialist Gautam Adani met NCP chief Sharad Pawar at the latter’s residence in Mumbai on Thursday, party sources said.
The meeting follows Pawar’s recent statement that he is not opposed to a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the charges made by Hindenburg Research against the Adani group, but a Supreme Court committee will be more useful and effective.
Hindenburg has alleged stock manipulation and accounting fraud in firms belonging to billionaire Adani.
Kolkata: A day after the removal of Mehul Choksi’s name from Interpol’s Red Corner notice list, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday alleged that businessmen Gautam Adani and fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi are the “best friends” of the BJP-led government at the Centre and saffron party was working only for these people.
Hitting out at the BJP government, the TMC supremo also said that banks have no money and people are not getting their payments even after working for the 100 days’ work scheme.
“… The country is run by only a few people. Banks are totally penniless and the Centre is not giving money for the 100 days’ work scheme (MGNREGA). But these people (Adani and Choksi) have collected lots of funds,” she claimed.
LIC, she told reporters at the airport here, has “become zero”.
The state-run insurance company had invested in shares of the Adani-led group companies, whose share prices plummeted after the Hindenburg Research report.
“Now Adani and Mehul are BJP’s best friends. The BJP-led government at the Centre is working for them and that will become their minus TRP,” she said before leaving for a three-day trip to neighbouring Odisha to offer prayers at the Puri Jagannath Temple.
The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has removed the name of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi , who is wanted in a Rs 13,000-crore scam in the Punjab National Bank (PNB), from the Red Corner List on the basis of his plea.
Leaders of 18 opposition parties will meet tomorrow to chalk out strategy on the Adani issue, according to sources. Congress leaders have been demanding a JPC on Adani after US short seller Hindenburg Research alleged the Adani group was “engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud”, and used offshore shell companies to inflate stock prices. Opposition has also been demanding ED and CBI raids against Gautam Adani.
However, as per sources the opposition has decided to change the strategy and is going to offer Adani Rajya Sabha seat to bring him in the opposition. “Once he’s in opposition he will be raided by CBI and ED, so we are going to offer him Rajya Sabha seat from an opposition ruled state after tomorrow’s meeting” said one of the opposition leaders.
While Gautam Adani has no political ambition as of now but a lady journalist close to Adani has told The Fauxy that the Adani is thinking about accepting the offer as he can’t decline the offer straightaway since his many projects are in opposition ruled states.
Adani companies share price further dipped on Tuesday owing to collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Earlier Adani offered to buy Hindenburg Research company but the deal couldn’t go through. Read here.

New Delhi: A day after deciding not to go-ahead with the fully subscribed Follow-on Public Offer (FPO), Adani Enterprises Ltd chairman Gautam Adani on Thursday said it would not be “morally correct” to go ahead with the Rs 20,000-crore share in the current market condition.
“After a fully subscribed FPO, yesterday’s decision of its withdrawal would have surprised many. But considering the volatility of the market seen yesterday, the board strongly felt that it would not be morally correct to proceed with the FPO,” Adani said in his address to investors after withdrawal of the fully subscribed FPO.
Adani said in his humble journey of over four decades as an entrepreneur, “I have been blessed to receive overwhelming support from all stakeholders, particularly the investor community. It is important for me to confess that whatever little I have achieved in life is due to the faith and trust reposed by them. I owe all my success to them.”
“For me, the interest of my investors is paramount and everything is secondary. Hence to insulate the investors from potential losses we have withdrawn the FPO,” he said.
This decision, he said “will not have any impact on our existing operations and future plans. We will continue to focus on timely execution and delivery of projects.”
“The fundamentals of our company are strong. Our balance sheet is healthy and assets, robust. Our EBIDTA levels and cash flows have been very strong and we have an impeccable track record of fulfilling our debt obligations. We will continue to focus on long term value creation and growth will be managed by internal accruals,” Adani said.
“Once the market stabilizes, we will review our capital market strategy,” he said.
“We have a strong focus on ESG and every business of ours will continue to create value in a responsible way. The strongest validation of our governance principles, comes from several international partnerships we have built across our different entities,” Adani said.
“I take this opportunity to thank our investment bankers, institutional investors and shareholders from within and outside the country for giving unflinching support to the FPO.”
Thanking investors, he said, “Despite the volatility in the stock over the last week your faith and belief in the company, its business and its management has been extremely reassuring and humbling.”
Shares of Adani Enterprises nosedived sharply on Wednesday, a day after its follow-on public offer closed for the subscription. The shares of Adani Group flagship company closed at Rs 2,179.75 with a sharp decline of 26.70 per cent. Its intraday low was Rs 1,941.2, over 30 per cent lower than Tuesday’s settlement price. On Tuesday, the last day for subscription, the follow-on public offer (FPO) issued by Adani Enterprises was fully subscribed.
A follow-on public offering (FPO) is the issuance of shares to investors by a company listed on a stock exchange after its initial public offerings.
Data showed the demand for the FPO was led by non-institutional investors, and they subscribed to the shares 3.26 times. The portion for institutional investors was also oversubscribed.
On Monday, an Abu Dhabi-based diversified conglomerate International Holding Company announced that it will invest about USD 400 million (AED 1.4 billion) into the Adani Enterprises’ follow-on public offer (FPO) through its subsidiary Green Transmission Investment Holding RSC Limited.
Adani Enterprises had filed a red herring prospectus with the markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for the Rs 20,000 crore follow-on public offer (FPO), the largest ever in India. There were concerns that the FPO may not receive a strong response from investors amid a report by a US-based Hindenburg Research that surfaced on January 24, which claimed the Adani Group of having weak business fundamentals among others.
The US-based firm, in its report, raised concerns about shares of Adani group companies having a possibility of declining from their current levels, owing to high valuations. In response, Adani Group on Sunday said the recent report by Hindenburg Research was not an attack on any specific company but a “calculated attack” on India, its growth story, and ambitions. It added the report was “nothing but a lie”.
Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, who stood at the 10th spot on the Forbes Real-time billionaire list for 2023 has now slipped out of the world’s top ten richest persons. Soon after Hindenburg Research report, Adani group witnessed massive decline in their share prices and Gautam Adani too lost over $10 B of net worth. Now there are no Indians in the list of world’s top ten richest people.
To ensure that the world’s top ten richest list has at least an Indian, the Adani Group has decided to take $10B loan from the government. The government is likely to approve the loan. The governments decision to approve the loan was taken after Adani Group covered itself in Nationalism when Hindenburg research accused Adani group of being engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades.
Sources suggest that Adani group is also likely to start a fund raise activity where every citizen can donate to make an Indian the world’s richest man. “During the global recession, India is a bright spot, the world is looking at us with a hope and we must not disappoint the world with not having any Indian in the world’s richest people list” said an economic expert.
