Mumbai's Iconic Taj Hotel Was Built By…‘Aurangzeb? No, Shah Jahan. He Even Cut Hands'

The first person who undertook the quiz told the digital creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Who built Mumbai's 120-year-old Taj Hotel? That was the question asked by a digital creator to people in the City of Dreams. But little did he know that the video, made in the format of a fun quiz, would blow up into a viral meme, all thanks to the lack of general knowledge and history among the younger generation. In the clip, posted on Instagram, the creator asked some passersby to guess the person who built the state-of-the-art, five-star marvel, only to receive some of the most impossible answers. The first person who undertook the quiz told the creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel. The next person gave a more absurd answer. As per the third and last individual, the Taj Hotel was built by Shah Jahan. All of the answers were wrong. Now for the correct answer: Mumbai's Taj Hotel was built by industrialist Jamsetji Tata. It opened its doors to tourists in 1903. The side note read, 'Taj Hotels Quiz Chaos: From Aurangzeb to Shah Jahan. A fun and bizarre street quiz moment where one guesses Aurangzeb. This mix of overconfidence and wild guesses had everyone laughing. And yes—Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra (not Mumbai!), and no, did not build it. Just a reminder: Confidence ≠ correctness. Social Media Users React The post was flooded with reactions. 'Scripted or not, you are good at roasting Gen Z," lauded a user. 'Being a part of the Tata Group, I can't decide whether to laugh or get angry at them," read an honest comment. 'JRD TATA must be very sad today," noted one person playfully. 'Aurangzeb ne foundation work kia, Shah Jahan mei walls and pillars dala nei paint and interiors karwaya. (Aurangzeb did the foundation work, Shah Jahan built the walls and pillars got the painting and interiors done)," wrote another humorously. 'This has to be scripted!! Please, please, please," hoped an individual. 'Aare itna confidence? Kaise? (So much confidence? How?)" wondered if someone else. 'Welcome to the bright generation of INDIA," read a sarcastic remark.

Soul search with Sushma Swaraj: ‘I am not afraid of anything, even death'

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated July 15, 1996)'I cannot tell a lie, and I'm very straightforward. Sometimes this hurts people,' says Sushma Swaraj. Clearly not attributes that one would imagine to work in politics. But for Swaraj it did, and how. A conversation with the veteran BJP leader.Q. What are your most striking memories?advertisementA. The happiest is when I was 10 years old. During an antakshari competition at a mela (fair), our team was on the verge of winning when we got stuck on the (Hindi) letter 'th'. That's when I whispered to my father, saying: 'I know a poem.' And he said: 'Hurry up, save the team.' I did. I was particularly happy because I was the only girl on the team. The unhappiest memories are of losing my mother when I was 14. After six months, my father remarried. The thought that somebody was taking the place of my mother was unacceptable. It is sad because after that my father also changed. Q. What gives you the greatest pleasure?A. Keeping a promise I've made to my child. The other day, she and her cousins wanted to go out for an ice-cream. I told them I couldn't take them out but would bring ice-creams home after work. It was past midnight and I had to drive around looking for an ice-cream vendor. But the minute I walked into the house, my daughter's eyes glowed and, turning to her cousins, she said: 'See, I told you; she's my mother, she will not come back without ice-cream.'Q. What do you dislike about yourself?A. I cannot tell a lie, and I'm very straightforward. Sometimes this hurts people. I've wondered if I should change, but I feel more comfortable about myself this way.Q. How far would you trust a friend?A. My best and most trustworthy friend is my husband. I trust him more than I trust myself.Q. What is more important, your personal or professional life?A. I cannot separate the two, but neither is at the cost of the other.Q. How important is sex in your life?A. I'm neither obsessed with it nor allergic to it. I'm not a prude, you know.Q. What makes you cry?A. Seeing a film where a couple separates. And whenever that happens, my husband turns to me and says: 'Why are you crying? I've never done anything.'Q. What is your greatest fear?A. I am not afraid of anything, even death.Q. How important is money to you?A. I want to have enough so I don't ever have to go around with a begging bowl.Q. Do you believe in God?A. Very much. Just as I am a one-man woman, I am a one-god worshipper. Krishna is God plus perfect human being because of the total involvement and passion with which he did anything, whether it was dancing or playing the flute or even eating to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

Chiranjeevi reveals unknown instance when a woman stood up for him against political leader: ‘Not my usual fan'

Tollywood star Chiranjeevi attended a blood donation drive held in Hyderabad on Wednesday along with actor Teja Sajja. While talking about the impact of his Chiranjeevi Blood Bank, he revealed an unknown instance when a woman stood up for him against a political leader, and not because she was a fan of his work. Here's what he said. Chiranjeevi said that he believes the good he has done will speak up for him when he doesn't want to. Chiranjeevi reveals when a woman stood up for him Chiranjeevi recalled how even after he stepped away from politics, a political leader had said something untoward about him. He said, 'I am a soft target for money. Even after I stepped away from politics, a politician said something untoward about me. One day, when he went to a particular region to campaign, a middle-aged lady stood up to him and asked how he could say such things about me.' The actor said that he was curious to know more about her because she did not look like his usual, 'mass' fan. He said, 'I looked at her and wondered why she was doing that, because she did not seem like my usual mass fan. When I found out about her, she said she was a fan, not because of my acting but because of who I am. It touched my heart.' The woman then revealed to a reporter who went to meet her on Chiranjeevi's behalf that her young child was suffering from dengue and needed platelets urgently in a small village near Rajahmundry. He would've died had he not received help on time. 'She reached out to my blood bank in Hyderabad and received help immediately from my fans in Rajahmundry. Her child is eight years old now,' said Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi also brought up how he's often trolled on social media, but said that it doesn't affect him. 'A lot of people ask me how I feel when people troll and attack me on social media. I feel like I don't need to defend myself; the good I've done will speak for me,' he said. Recent work Chiranjeevi was last seen in the 2023 films Waltair Veerayya and Bholaa Shankar. He will soon star in Vassishta's Vishwambhara; the release date has yet to be announced. He has also signed yet-to-be-titled projects with Anil Ravipudi and Srikanth Odela. Chiranjeevi established the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust in 1998 with the motto that no one should lose their lives due to a lack of blood. His trust also has an eye bank in addition to a blood bank. During the pandemic, Chiranjeevi raised funds to pay out-of-work cine workers, apart from arranging ambulances and oxygen banks.
