Subhash Ghai Rents Out Mumbai Office Space For A Whopping Rs 2.24 Crore For 5 Years
Subhash Ghai has leased out a commercial space in Andheri West for Rs 3.38 lakh a month. Filmmaker Subhash Ghai has quietly expanded his presence in Mumbai's real estate scene. The veteran filmmaker has just leased out a commercial property in Andheri West, locking in a five-year deal with a starting monthly rent of Rs 3.38 lakh. The space is located in the Crest Mukta development and covers a built-up area of around 7,500 sq ft. The agreement, signed in July 2025, involves Mukta Arts, Ghai's production banner, and Crest Ventures Limited. According to property records accessed by real estate portal Square Yards through the IGR (Inspector General of Registration) site, the lease comes with a security deposit of Rs 24.66 lakh. Stamp duty for the deal was Rs 57,500, with an additional Rs 1,000 paid in registration charges. The lease has a built-in rent escalation clause. As per Square Yards' review, the monthly rent will increase by nearly 5 per cent each year – reaching Rs 4.11 lakh in the fifth year. Across the full 60-month term, the total rent is expected to add up to roughly Rs 2.24 crore. This deal follows Ghai's big residential purchase earlier this year. Back in February 2025, he and wife Mukta Ghai picked up a luxury apartment in Bandra West for Rs 24 crore. The home is in 81 Aureate – a premium development by MJ Shah Group – which spans 4.48 acres and mostly features 4BHK flats. The building is known for its high-end finishes and prime location near the sea-facing stretch of Bandra. With both commercial and residential deals locked in within a few months, Ghai seems to be actively strengthening his real estate portfolio in key pockets of Mumbai. Subhash Ghai is one of Bollywood's most well-known filmmakers, with a career spanning decades and a long list of popular films to his name. Known for directing blockbusters like Karz, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar, Taal, and Pardes, Ghai made his mark with big, dramatic storytelling and memorable music. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and is also the founder of Whistling Woods International, a well-known film and media institute in Mumbai.

Granddaughter of PM, had 11 affairs but is still single, was once a star, her name is..., debut film was...
She had the looks, the legacy, and the limelight. Yet, what she truly longed for, lasting love, slipped away time and again. Manisha Koirala, the '90s icon, not only carried a royal bloodline but also a trail of emotional scars that fame could never heal. Who is this actress with royal roots? Manisha belongs to Nepal's politically influential Koirala family. Her father, Prakash Koirala, was a noted politician, and her grandfather, Bishweshwar Prasad Koiral, was Nepal's Prime Minister. She carried elegance not just in her name but also in her craft, bagging multiple Filmfare and top-tier awards while being one of the highest-paid actresses of her time. Manisha Koirala's debut movie was the Nepali film Pheri Bhetaula (1989) What happened in her love life? Despite having a string of relationships, 11 to be exact, love never quite stayed, according to several media reports. From her early romance with Saudagar co-star Vivek Mushran to her widely talked-about relationship with Nana Patekar, Manisha was never shy about owning her past. 'Manisha is a very sensitive actress,' Nana once admitted. She even reportedly caught him cheating with Ayesha Jhulka, a moment that left deep wounds. Post-Nana, depression crept in. Offers of love came and went, from DJ Whosane (who proposed) to Nigerian businessman Cecil Anthony, from actor Aryan Vaid (allegedly seeking publicity) to restaurateur Prashant Chaudhary, who backed out under family pressure. Her name was also linked with diplomat Crispin Conroy, Wipro heir Tariq Premji, Akshay Kumar, musician Sandeep Chowta, and American entrepreneur Christopher Dorris. Eventually, Manisha married businessman Samrat Dahal, seven years younger than her. Sadly, the marriage was short-lived. She once called Samrat 'my biggest enemy' and later took full accountability, saying, 'I rushed into it. I wanted to marry, then realised I wasn't made for it. The mistake was mine.' Where is she now? A cancer survivor and motivational speaker, Manisha has found strength in solitude. Speaking at an event in London, she reflected on Nepal's unstable politics, her health battles, and her shift toward introspection. 'I'm a democrat,' she said, 'but I believe Nepal may need a monarchy for true stability.'

Dilip Kumar said ‘Beta, pathaan ka hath hai, behosh ho jaega' when Anupam Kher suggested to slap him for real in Karma
Anupam Kher looks up to Dilip Kumar as an inspiration. He considers the late legendary thespian as the reason why he became an actor in the first place. The two worked in four films together — Subhash Ghai's Karma (1986) and Saudagar (1991), B Gopal's Kanoon Apna Apna (1989), and J Hemambar and K Bapayya's Izzatdaar (1990). Kher recently recalled the first time he met Kumar on the sets of Karma in the early 1980s. 'I was already dressed as Dr. Dang at 7 am. Dilip sahab came to the set at 11 am. He got down from his white Mercedes in a white shirt. I kept looking at him. I thought, 'Wow, he's the guy why I became an actor,'' the actor said. Anupam Kher listed Bimal Roy's 1958 horror romance Madhumati, Tapi Chanakya's 1967 dramedy Ram Aur Shyam, A Bhimsingh's 1970 action drama Gopi, and the 1955 romance Devdas as the films of Dilip Kumar that influenced him as an actor. 'I almost had my noise broken while buying tickets for Gopi in black,' Kher recalled on India TV's Aap Ki Adalat. 'I kept looking at him, how his hands looked like, how his face looked like. So Subhash Ghai took me to a corner and said, 'Tu jis pyaar se inko dekh raha hai, tu mujhe marvaega! Tu meri film ka villain hai! (The love with which you're looking at him, you'll ruin the film! You're the villain of my film!) Don't look at him with so much love,'' recalled Kher. However, Anupam Kher had a response ready. He claimed it was the actor who was in love with Dilip Kumar, not the character. 'Anupam Kher Dilip Kumar se pyaar karta hai, Dr. Dang Vishwa Pratap se pyaar nahi karta (Anupam Kher loves Dilip Kumar, but Dr. Dang doesn't love Vishwa Pratap),' Kher replied, responding to the characters played by him and Kumar respectively in Karma. Kher also recollected shooting the iconic slap scene in the film Karma. 'I committed a mistake. In order to impress him, I said, 'Sir, slap me for real.' He told me, 'Beta, Pathaan ka haath hai, beshosh ho jaega (Son, it's a Pathaan's hand, you'd faint after the slap).' But when he watched the scene, he told Subhash Ghai, 'A dangerous actor has arrived. He'll go a long way.' I then thought now that Dilip Kumar has endorsed me, no power in the world can stop me,' said Kher. Also Read — Anupam Kher says he made bond for life with Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of DDLJ: 'Me and Shah Rukh went ballistic' He also recalled a funny incident from the set when he was famished. Dilip Kumar wanted to tease him so he told Anupam Kher the story of the succulent apples his father used to sell. 'He said, 'It happens in Diminishing Marginal Utility that when you taste the second apple, then you don't enjoy it as much.' But I told him I'm enjoying it as much as I did the first one. Please stop this,' Kher recalled, laughing.
