Aamir Khan recalls almost working with Mani Ratnam on ‘Lajo': 'Hope we collaborate soon'
Aamir Khan has revealed that he came close to collaborating with acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam on a film titled 'Lajo', an adaptation of Ismat Chughtai's short story Gharwali, back in 2007. The project, which stirred considerable buzz at the time, ultimately didn't materialise. In a recent interview with Galatta, Aamir clarified that contrary to past reports, the film was not shelved due to creative differences between him and Mani Ratnam. ' We wanted to work with each other and almost did, Lajo, but that didn't work out for some third reason. Nothing to do with him and me,' Aamir said, adding that he remains a great admirer of the Ponniyin Selvan director and hopes to work with him in the future. Aamir's Admiration for Mani Ratnam Calling himself a 'huge fan' of Mani Ratnam, Aamir revealed that the two have met several times and shared great conversations. 'I have been to his house, spoken at length. He's someone whose work I truly respect,' Aamir noted.

Cancer Survivor Defies 'Astronomical' Odds, Wins Three Lotteries in Nine Months
A Canadian man who has previously battled cancer, has defied the odds by winning three lotteries in the space of nine months, taking the total prize money to Rs 15.6 crore ($2.5 million). David Serkin, hailing from the Lethbridge area in Alberta, Canada, won $1 million on the May 3 LOTTO 6/49 Classic draw, according to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). "The local won $500,000 on the August 20 LOTTO MAX draw and $1 million on the November 16 LOTTO 6/49 draw. Now, the Lethbridge man has won again, another $1 million prize on the May 3 LOTTO 6/49 Classic draw," WCLC said in a press release. As per WCLC, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800, but Mr Serkin managed to overcome it, having been a longtime player of the LOTTO 6/49 since its launch in 1982. He said he relished the routine of buying and checking his tickets for a winner. He purchased the newest winning ticket from Shell Lethbridge at 2440 Fairway Plaza Road S in Lethbridge. "You check your ticket and if you win, you're happy. If you don't, you can always try again," Mr Serkin told WCLC, adding: "I bought this ticket while I was buying gas. I saw the Gold Ball draw was getting close (to the final ball selection) and thought, 'What do I have to lose?'" Quizzed about his massive winnings, Mr Serkin modestly replied: "I know the odds are astronomical. I don't think it'll happen again, but I still like buying tickets." "I'm a cancer survivor and I'm retired, so I am just grateful for all of it," he added. As per a report in Today, Mr Serkin's luck dates back over a decade. He previously won $250,000 in another draw more than 10 years prior to his recent hattrick of wins. Lottery over dinner Earlier this month, a couple in the US state of New Jersey won Rs 12.86 crore in the lottery after buying a Rs 257 scratch-off ticket while on their way to dinner. The couple would not have won the lottery if it weren't for the insistence of one of the partners. While one wanted to buy tickets in another town, the second insisted on purchasing from a store that they did not typically visit. "Like they ever listen to me! So, I go in and get a $10 ticket and a couple of the $3 Win for Lifes," the player recalled. "It was just so random. This really changes our lives. We're always stressed about bills. This makes life a lot easier," the winner said.

Government approves shifting of Gurgaon's Kherki Daula toll plaza on Delhi-Jaipur NH to Pachgaon
NEW DELHI: The government has approved shifting of Gurgaon's Kherki Daula toll plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway (NH-48) to Pachgaon, a place beyond Manesar, paving the way for easy commute for lakhs of office goers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now When the plaza is moved to Pachgaon, over 15 kilometres from Gurgaon, commuters travelling between Delhi and Manesar also won't have to pay toll. Locals have been demanding its removal since 2014. TOI has learnt that Union road transport and highways minister has approved the plan, and to ensure the new spot doesn't see any congestion, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will go for Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll collection system. For the new facility, the Haryana government has provided nearly 28 acres of land to the highway authority, sources said. The process of shifting and starting the MMLF system to collect toll at Pachgaon may take around six months. 'Pachgaon is the ideal location as it falls beyond Gurgaon and Manesar. Since there is an interchange of the Western Peripheral Expressway and the NH-48 at Pachgaon, the new toll collection point couldn't have been beyond the intersection,' a source said. In the MMLF system, vehicles don't need to stop as overhead cameras installed for each lane will read the vehicle registration number and automatically deduct the charge from the FASTag wallet linked to the vehicle. Sources said a decision has also been taken to have an integrated system to ensure that traffic coming from the Dwarka Expressway side and heading towards Jaipur don't end up paying toll at this point once again as user fee. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'This is very much possible. Once the annual toll pass for private vehicles is rolled out most of the issues will be resolved automatically,' said a source. The shifting of the toll plaza will end conflicts between operators and people from areas adjoining Kherki Daula, and fulfil the promise the Haryana and central governments have been making for the past seven to eight years. Locals have been demanding that the NHAI shift the toll plaza citing that the govt has recovered more than the investment made in constructing the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway by private players and the highway authority. In a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha in March, the road transport ministry said against Rs 2,489 crore incurred as cost for the NH-48's Delhi-Gurgaon stretch, the toll collection has been around Rs 2,775 crore, around 11% more than the investment. After completion of this 27-km Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, commuters were paying user fees at Sirhaul (Delhi-Gurgaon border) and Kherki Daula toll plazas. Tolling was stopped at the Delhi-Gurgaon border in 2014, bringing relief to commuters travelling between Dhaula Kuan in Delhi and Kherki Daula. However, those going beyond this point paid toll for the entire stretch. At present, NHAI collects toll through its agency. Meanwhile, sources said the decision to shift the Kherki Daula toll plaza by the road transport ministry will create more pressure on the Delhi government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to do away with physical entry fee collection booths on the capital's borders to prevent congestion. Traffic jams at these places defeat the purpose of huge investment in building highways and expressways for faster connectivity to Delhi.
