FAMILY BONDING MORE PRECIOUS THAN MONEY
Vadodara: He received lucrative job offers from Dubai and the United States, but Dr Manan Mehta made a conscious decision to stay back in Vadodara. The reason? He didn't want to leave his joint family . In a time when siblings often drift apart and children move out post-marriage, the Mehtas of Alkapuri stand out as a rare, harmonious example of four generations living together under one roof. "It feels like one of those TV serial families—only without the fights and melodrama," said Manish Mehta, 60, with a smile. "We are 10 members living happily in our plush apartment, and the bond we share is our greatest strength."The family's roots in joint living were planted over four decades ago when brothers Mayur and Manish Mehta made a pivotal decision. "When I got married in 1984, my father offered me the choice to buy a separate house," recalls Mayur Mehta, 65, who runs a construction business. "But I chose to stay with the family. Manish did the same. Since then, we've lived together."Today, their household includes their 85-year-old mother Meena, Manish and Mayur with their respective families, Mayur's son Dr Manan and his wife Ishita, their children Mahir and Meera, as well as their sister Dr Margeyi Mehta and her son Malav. That makes four generations sharing nine bedrooms—but just one kitchen."The kitchen is the heart of our home," said Meena. "We all dine together every evening. It fosters a deep connection." Despite the size of the family, she says it's the small traditions—like storytelling sessions about the Mahabharata and Ramayana with her great-grandchildren—that keep the bonds the younger generation echoes this sentiment. "Growing up in a joint family has shaped my thinking," said 22-year-old Malav. "You learn to adjust, share responsibilities, and you're never lonely."The Mehtas' unity was tested during the Covid pandemic when four members contracted the virus. "We supported each other through it," said Meena. "That's what a joint family is all about—being there for one another."Despite the pressures of modern life, the Mehtas remain committed to their way of living. "It's not difficult," said Mayur. "If everyone learns to adjust, support, and respect each other, a joint family becomes a blessing, not a burden."

How Mayur More left co-actors panicked with his prank on sets of ‘Black, White & Gray – Love Kills'
Mumbai: Actor Mayur More recently gave his co-stars quite a scare on the sets of 'Black, White & Gray – Love Kills' when a playful prank took a surprising turn. Mayur pulled off a moment that left everyone momentarily panicked before bursting into laughter, adding a dose of fun and spontaneity to the shoot. Talking about the prank, Mayur revealed, 'I'm really into wildlife, so shooting in a tiger reserve was a dream. Every day, I hoped to spot a tiger, but after 10–12 days with no sightings and only reports from forest officers about past tiger movements, I started getting restless. Bored of waiting, Palak and I decided to prank the crew. I hid a speaker under some leaves and played a tiger growl through my phone. The forest was silent, so when the sound played, the crew panicked, looking around for the tiger. I couldn't stop laughing and that's when they realized I was behind it.' He added, 'Later it struck me, if I kept pulling pranks like this and there was an actual tiger call next time, people might think it was just another joke. That could be dangerous. So, I stopped immediately. That day was the first and last time I pulled a stunt like that.' On a related note, directed by Pushkar Sunil Mahabal and produced by Swaroop Sampat and Hemal A. Thakkar, the show features an ensemble cast including Mayur More, Palak Jaiswal, Deven Bhojani, Edward Sonnenblick, Hakkim Shahjahan, Anant Jog, Kamlesh Sawant, and Tigmanshu Dhulia. The series also features a foreign journalist, Daniel Gray, who investigates a case involving four murders, all seemingly tied to a single suspect—a young man from a financially struggling background. 'Black, White & Gray – Love Kills' streams from 2nd May on Sony LIV. The story revolves around a journalist delving into a string of murders connected to a young man hailing from an underprivileged background.
