A Goa Villa or a Movie Set?
If you've ever dreamt of holidaying like a Bollywood power couple, brace yourself — it comes at a price that might make your vacation budget sweat. Ajay Devgn and Kajol, two of the most recognisable names in Indian cinema, own a luxurious Portuguese-style villa tucked away in the tranquil corners of North Goa. And yes, you can stay there. But how much would you have to shell out per night?According to GQ India, while the listed rent for the property managed by the Taj Group is ₹75,000 per night, the actual price could go as high as ₹1.10 to ₹1.30 lakh, depending on the season and service fees. That's nearly ₹10,000 per person per night — if you split it among 12 guests, which is the villa's maximum capacity.But it's not just the price tag that's drawing attention — it's what's inside.Nestled near the quiet village of Moira in North Goa, the villa is known as Villa Eterna. Devgn and Kajol, who live in their ₹60 crore Mumbai residence Shiv Shakti and also own a home in London, often retreat to this lavish hideaway during family holidays. But for travellers who want a taste of luxury with a touch of celebrity charm, the couple have opened the doors of this estate to paying guests.Once featured on Curly Tales, the villa oozes tropical elegance. Built around a central swimming pool, the home blends traditional Portuguese architecture with modern amenities. Think grand gazebos, antique wells, aesthetic water fountains and even a lift to take you upstairs — a rare indulgence in Goa's laid-back holiday homes.Villa Eterna boasts five uniquely designed bedrooms, each offering serene views of either the pool or the surrounding lush lawn. The decor? Personalised to the last detail, with handpicked chandeliers, artwork, and crockery curated by Ajay and Kajol themselves.There's an in-house chef ready to whip up multi-cuisine meals, a massive dining area to host beachside dinner parties, and a lounge-like outdoor sitting space complete with a private bar. Even the walls speak stardom — quite literally — with film stills of the iconic duo adorning the upper floor.According to a report from The Indian Express, there's a reason this villa feels more like a scene from a romantic film than a rental property. From its century-old restored well to the soft murmuring of a water wall fountain, everything is curated to evoke calm, charm and cinematic nostalgia.And if you're wondering about privacy, the estate's lush green perimeter and gated structure ensure it remains completely secluded. In essence, it's the kind of place where even the stars can hide from the spotlight and so can you, if you're willing to pay the price.

Asha Bhosle recalls backlash to bold songs like Piya Tu Ab To Aaja and Dum Maaro Dum: 'Majrooh Sultanpuri left the studio and told me, ‘Beti, maine ganda gana likha hai'

Asha Bhosle has lent her voice to some of the most iconic songs in Hindi cinema, from the sultry Piya Tu Ab To Aaja to the rebellious Dum Maaro Dum and the dreamy Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera. But in a recent interview, the legendary playback singer revealed that many of her bold tracks didn't just raise eyebrows, they were outright banned on Indian radio. 'Why do I only get the bold songs?' Asha once asked RD Burman Speaking to Republic Bharat, Asha Bhosle recalled confronting her late husband and composer RD Burman, fondly known as Pancham Da, about his song choices. She questioned why she was repeatedly given provocative numbers, while her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar received the softer, more 'respectable' melodies. 'I once told Pancham, why do I only get these bold songs while the nice songs go to Lata Didi?' she said. But RD Burman stood firm. He had faith in Asha's ability to make such songs iconic. Regarding Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, from the 1971 film Caravan, she remembered him confidently telling her that the song would be a huge hit. 'I have written a bad song,' said Majrooh Sultanpuri and walked out Interestingly, Asha also shared an anecdote involving renowned lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, who penned Piya Tu Ab To Aaja. She recalled how embarrassed he was during the recording session. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo 'Majrooh Sultanpuri left the studio and told me, 'Beti, maine ganda gana likha hai. My daughters will grow up and sing this song,'' she said, laughing. Despite his hesitation, Asha went ahead with the song, staying true to her professional commitment. 'I knew the music of the song is good, but I didn't know that the song will be such a massive hit,' she added.

In fact, they were censored. 'My 3–4 songs would get banned from Bombay radio,' she revealed, pointing to the conservative broadcasting environment of the time. Another of Asha's landmark tracks, Dum Maaro Dum from Dev Anand's Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), also stirred controversy. Despite the film's anti-drug message, the song was accused of glamorising smoking and hippie culture. As a result, All India Radio banned it, and Doordarshan edited the song out when the film was aired on television. Over the decades, however, these songs have come to define the bold, experimental era of Hindi film music, with Asha Bhosle at the forefront, unafraid to lend her voice to songs that pushed boundaries.

Gkp man cycles to Annapurna Base Camp, hoists Tricolour at 13,550ft

1 2 Gorakhpur : In a remarkable display of endurance and determination, 29-year-old adventure cyclist Uma Singh from Gorakhpur scripted history by cycling to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) in Nepal, situated at an altitude of 13,550feet, where he hoisted the tricolour on Aug 1. With this feat, Uma becomes the second Indian and the fourth cyclist in the world to conquer the treacherous off-road trail to ABC on a bicycle. The journey began on July 26 from the Vikas Bhawan campus in Gorakhpur as part of a Tiranga Yatra, following which Uma commenced his cycling expedition from Pokhara on July 27. Over the next six days, he braved steep ascents, relentless rains, dense forests, rocky terrain and slippery trails to reach the summit. He completed the descent and returned safely to Pokhara by Aug 3 evening. Uma described the journey as one of the most grueling experiences of his life. He said: "The unpredictable weather, rocky climbs, leeches, insects and the constant fear of getting lost in the forest — every moment tested my limits. Sometimes the trail would disappear under heavy rain. But I kept telling myself, 'Just a little more, the summit is near.'" Reflecting on the moment he unfurled the triolour at the base camp, Uma called it "divine, surreal and blessed by the grace of Maa Annapurna. " TNN

Braille signboards installed at two monuments in Mandu

Mhow: Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has installed Braille signboards at two monuments in the fort city of Mandu in Dhar district. These signboards provide complete details of the monuments to those who cannot see the beauty of Mandu. "At present, we have installed Braille signboards at Hindola Mahal and Jahaj Mahal. The plan is to include other important monuments in this project so that blind persons visiting Mandu can get information about these monuments themselves," ASI Bhopal division superintendent Manoj Kumar Kurmi said. "It has been seen that not only Indian but blind tourists from foreign countries too visit Mandu, especially during monsoon season. We are continuously working to put Mandu on the tourist maps at national and international levels," Kurmi said. Mandu, also called Mandapa-Durg in the earliest records, was a fortified city that flourished as early as the 6th century. By the 10th century, it rose to prominence under Raja Bhoj of the Paramar dynasty, serving at times as their capital, especially after attacks on their earlier capital, Dhar. In 1305, Mandu and the Malwa region were invaded and captured by Alauddin Khilji, Sultan of Delhi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo His general, Ayn al-Mulk Multani, expelled the last Paramar ruler, Rai Mahalak Dev, and Mandu became part of Delhi sultanate. With the decline of Mughal Empire in the early 18th century, Mandu fell into Maratha hands. After several skirmishes, the decisive Battle of Tirla (1734) led to its capture by the Pawar dynasty of Dhar. From then, Mandu was administered by the Maratha rulers of Dhar until it was eventually subsumed under British rule following their expansion into central India in the 19th century.
