Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Dot, Agastya Nanda, Yuvraj Menda, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, and Vedang Raina recently featured on the latest episode of Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 to promote their recent film, The Archies. The film’s director, Zoya Akhtar, also joined them on the show.

Amitabh Bachchan enjoyed interacting with the young actors, and he was surprised when Suhana seemed unaware of her father Shah Rukh Khan’s 2005 Padma Shri honour.

During the KBC episode, Amitabh Bachchan posed a question about Shah Rukh Khan to Suhana, Vedang, and Zoya in the ‘Super Sandook’ round. Amitabh was astonished when Suhana revealed her lack of knowledge about her father’s Padma Shri honour. The question was: “Shah Rukh Khan has not yet received which of these honours?” The options were: “(a) Padma Shri, (b) Legion of Honour, (c) L’Etoile d’Or, and (d) Volpi Cup.”

Upon Big B’s question, Suhana promptly responded with “(a) Padma Shri.” Her answer surprised both Amitabh and Vedang. Vedang expressed disbelief, saying, “How could you get that wrong?” Amitabh questioned how Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter could be unaware of the award her father received. It’s worth noting that Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2005.

Amitabh Bachchan, responding to Suhana’s lack of knowledge, humorously remarked, “Beti ko pata nahi hai ki pita ko kya mila hai. Keval baap ne itna hi bata ke bheja hai ki wo saamne baitha hai usne tumhare baap ka kirdaar adaa kiya hai. Toh unko bol dena ki bhaiyya jara aaram se sawaal pucho. Abhi itna aaram se sawaal pucha phir bhi uska jawab nahi de payi ye.”

Suhana appeared embarrassed for not knowing the correct answer. The right answer to the question was option (d) Volpi Cup.

Meanwhile, The Archies was recently released on OTT on December 7, 2023.

Nine years after he was accused of raping a minor, a BJP MLA from Uttar Pradesh has been sentenced to 25 years in jail and now faces disqualification from the Assembly. The crime took place in 2014 and the survivor’s brother said the MLA had pressured and threatened the family for over a year after the complaint was filed. 

Ramdulare Gond, a tribal MLA from the Duddhi Assembly constituency in Sonbhadra district, was sentenced to 25 years’ rigorous imprisonment and fined Rs 10 lakh by an MP-MLA court on Friday.  

In 2014, Gond’s wife was the head of a village panchayat in the Duddhi constituency. Gond, who was a local strongman, was trying to make it big in politics by leveraging his wife’s position. Gond raped the girl on November 4, 2014, and a complaint was registered at the Myorpur police station.  

Gond won the Assembly election from the Duddhi constituency on a BJP ticket last year and his case was transferred to the MP-MLA court in Sonbhadra, which pronounced him guilty on Tuesday. 

Public prosecutor Satya Prakash Tripathi said, “MLA Ramdulare Gond had been convicted in the case, which was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act as well as sections pertaining to rape and destroying evidence of the Indian Penal Code.”

“Ahsan Ullah Khan, the additional district and sessions judge of the MP-MLA court, has sentenced the MLA to 25 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh. The amount will be given to the survivor,” he added.

The survivor’s family said it took them a long time to get justice but they are happy with the verdict. Her brother said Ramdulare Gond threatened him and his family for a year to get them to withdraw the case. 

Gond will now be disqualified from the Uttar Pradesh Assembly and while it won’t affect the BJP in terms of numbers because it has 254 members in the 403-strong house, it will leave the party vulnerable to attacks from the opposition. 

As per the Representation of the People Act, a lawmaker sentenced to imprisonment of two years or more shall be disqualified “from the date of such conviction” and remain disqualified for six years after serving time.

Breaking his silence after 10 days on the record Rs 350 crore in cash seized from premises linked to him, Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu on Friday said that his family handles the business and the money recovered is not his, but belongs to the companies which were raided. He also emphasised that the money is not linked in any way to the Congress or any other political party. 

The Income Tax searches against a firm, Boudh Distillery Pvt Ltd, and associated entities owned by Mr Sahu’s family began on December 6 and ended on Friday. Carried out in Odisha and Jharkhand, the searches yielded cash worth Rs 353.5 crore, marking the largest single seizure ever made by any investigative agency in India.

The record recovery, long search and videos of almirahs full of cash have been used by the BJP to slam the Congress and accuse it of corruption. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the party using a reference to the popular TV series ‘Money Heist’.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Mr Sahu said he has been in active politics for nearly 35 years and this is the first time such an allegation has been levelled at him. “I am hurt, and I can say with conviction that the money that has been recovered is my firm’s. We have been in the liquor business for over 100 years. I am involved in politics and did not pay much attention to the business. That was looked after by my family, and I would just ask how things were from time to time,” he said in Hindi.
