MUMBAI: Bombay high court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal filed by Anita Advani to recognise her long-term relationship with the late actor Rajesh Khanna as marriage.Justice Sharmila Deshmukh ruled that by Advani’s pleadings, it “is evident that the substantive relief sought is of being declared as widow of (Khanna), which is a necessary sequitur of the declaration...”, but the relationship doesn’t satisfy the tests formulated by Supreme Court over recognition of a live-in relation as a marriage.Khanna was not divorced from his estranged actor-wife Dimple Khanna, the court was informed.Following Rajesh Khanna’s demise in 2012, Advani and members of his family have been locked in a legal battle. Advani filed a suit in 2015 before the Dindoshi city civil court against Dimple and others, including her daughter Twinkle and son-in-law Rajiv Bhatia (actor Akshay Kumar), to have her long-term relationship with the actor to be akin to a marriage. When her plea was rejected in 2017, she approached the HC in appeal. The HC said the trial court had rightly applied the test to hold that “no fruitful purpose would be served by going ahead” with a civil trial — which would require deposition of Khanna’s family members and others — and unnecessarily protract the proceedings. “There has to be cumulative satisfaction of the test … which lays down the criteria that the parties must be otherwise qualified to enter into a legal marriage, including being unmarried, is clearly not satisfied in the present case,” the HC said, after hearing advocates Preeti Singh for Advani and Pooja Kane for the Khanna family.The declaration “seeks equivalence with marriage and marital relationship and must therefore also satisfy the essential tests for valid marriage although not formally married,” the HC elaborated.Before the Dindoshi court, Twinkle had sought dismissal of Advani’s suit on the ground that the suit is barred by law, broadly since the marriage between her parents — Rajesh Khanna and Dimple — was not dissolved and under the Hindu Marriage Act, there can be no marriage if one of the party had a spouse living and hence, there can be no declaration as sought by Advani of being the widow.The HC observed that in the absence of requirements of valid marriage as set out in the provisions of Hindu Marriage Act not being satisfied, the relationship between Advani and Khanna had the “character of live-in relationship”.The concept of a live-in relationship was legally recognised under the DV Act, which defined “domestic relationship” to mean a relationship between two persons who live or have, at any point of time, lived together in a shared household through a relationship in the nature of marriage.But the HC said declaration of the relationship being in nature of marriage would require applicability of the tests as laid down by the SC in the case of D Velusamy vs D Patchaiammal and added the satisfaction is lacking here. Even when a live-in relationship is monogamous, the tests set out by the SC must be satisfied, said the HC.Finding no merit in Advani’s appeal, the HC dismissed it.

Mumbai: The K-East ward, which covers Andheri East, emerged as the highest property tax contributor in Mumbai for 2025–26, as the BMC recorded its highest-ever collection of Rs 7,610.9 crore.Civic data shows that K-East ward led with Rs 719.2 crore in collections, followed by G-South (Lower Parel and adjoining areas) at Rs 670.6 crore, K-West (Andheri West) at Rs 622.2 crore, H-East (Kalina and Bandra East) at Rs 577.8 crore, and H-West (Bandra West) at Rs 536.6 crore. Further, the western suburbs accounted for the largest share of collections at Rs 3,721.3 crore, followed by the island city at Rs 2,102.6 crore and eastern suburbs at Rs 1,457.4 crore.Overall, the BMC surpassed its revised target of Rs 7,341 crore, achieving 103.7% of the goal. On March 31 alone, the civic body collected Rs 399.7 crore, marking a record single-day recovery. An additional Rs 301.1 crore was collected as penalties.Officials attributed the strong performance to sustained recovery drives, targeted action against large defaulters, and improved payment systems. Civic facilitation centres remained open on weekends and public holidays, while online payment options were streamlined to encourage timely compliance.Additional municipal commissioner (city) Ashwini Joshi said to encourage timely payment, the BMC undertook extensive public awareness campaigns. “Civic facilitation centres remained open on weekends and public holidays, and online payment options were strengthened. Special focus was also placed on recovering dues from major defaulters through targeted follow-ups,” she said.Property tax continues to be the BMC’s single-largest revenue source, levied on over 10 lakh properties across Mumbai. The civic body’s dependence on this stream has deepened since 2017, when octroi — once its biggest revenue generator — was scrapped following the rollout of GST.Currently, around 3.6 lakh properties in Mumbai are exempt from property tax as their carpet area is under 500 sq ft—a policy implemented since 2022 by BMC following a state govt directive. Recently, the civic house passed a notice of motion as well seeking to increase the exemption limit for property taxes for residential units from 500 sq ft to 700 sq ft. No decision has been taken on it yet.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian celebrates as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Alex and Thanasis make rare NBA history with Bucks (Image via Getty)

Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brothers just created a moment that felt bigger than a normal NBA game. On Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks won 123-99 against the Dallas Mavericks, but the score was not the main story. The real highlight came when Alex Antetokounmpo stepped onto the court for the first time in the NBA. With that one moment, Alex, Giannis, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo became the first three brothers in NBA history to play together on the same active roster.It happened late in the fourth quarter, with just about two minutes left. Alex did not get much time, but he made sure it counted. He scored his first NBA point from the free throw line. That small moment meant a lot, not just for him, but for his entire family and fans watching. Soon after, Alexis Ohanian shared his reaction online, celebrating the brothers and their historic night.

Alex Antetokounmpo, who recently signed a two-year deal, finally got his chance to play. Even though the game was already decided, his entry changed the night. The crowd got to see all three Antetokounmpo brothers officially listed on the same team, something the league had never seen before. Giannis Antetokounmpo was not playing due to a knee injury, but he was present and watching closely. From the sidelines, he saw his younger brother reach a dream they had all once imagined.After the game, Alex spoke honestly about how it felt. He said, “A dream come true. Honestly, just subbing in, I was looking around. Being a kid that grew up in Milwaukee, it was just kind of crazy… I’ve been to more Bucks games than I can even count, so to put on that jersey was amazing.” That feeling showed how personal this moment was. It was not just about basketball, but about growing up, family, and coming full circle.

As soon as the moment happened, Alexis Ohanian took to Instagram. He shared a picture of Alex, Giannis, and Thanasis together and wrote, “Making History!!” His reaction quickly caught attention, as fans and public figures joined in celebrating the milestone.The Milwaukee Bucks, meanwhile, continued their season with this strong win. It marked their 30th victory, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. While the team still has work to do in the standings, this night gave them something special beyond just numbers. Next, the Bucks are set to face the Houston Rockets. But for now, this game will be remembered for something far more meaningful than just another win.

Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs (Photo: IPL)

Sameer Rizvi delivered a stunning display of composure and class after coming in as an Impact Substitute, guiding Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL clash on Wednesday.Chasing a modest target of 142, Delhi found themselves in deep trouble early on, collapsing to 26 for 4 within the first five overs. However, Rizvi (70* off 47 balls) rose to the occasion, stitching together an unbeaten 119-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Tristan Stubbs (39* off 32). The duo ensured Delhi crossed the finish line with ease, sealing the win in just 17.1 overs.

Rizvi, Stubbs script stunning recovery

Rizvi’s innings stood out for its maturity. He weathered challenging spells from Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, and Prince Yadav before shifting gears. On a surface that offered assistance to seamers, Rizvi struck five fours and four sixes, making the chase appear far more straightforward than it initially seemed.The turning point came in the 10th over, bowled by Shahbaz Ahmed. Rizvi took full advantage, collecting 16 runs with a mix of sweeps, pulls, and deft placements. From that moment, momentum firmly swung in Delhi’s favour.He later showcased his range by lofting Aiden Markram over long-on and dispatching Mohsin Khan with authority, steadily dismantling LSG’s hopes. Stubbs played the perfect supporting role, rotating strike and ensuring the pressure never built again.

LSG falter with bat despite early breakthroughs

Lucknow had started brightly with the ball. Mohammed Shami struck on the very first delivery, dismissing KL Rahul for a duck. Mohsin Khan removed Nitish Rana, while Pathum Nissanka fell cheaply to Prince Yadav. Delhi captain Axar Patel also departed for a first-ball duck, beaten by pace and movement.However, LSG couldn’t capitalise on the early momentum as Rizvi and Stubbs took control.Earlier, LSG endured a disappointing outing with the bat, managing just 141 in 18.4 overs after being put in. A surprise tactical move saw captain Rishabh Pant open the innings, disrupting a settled combination. Pant scored 7 before being run out and never looked comfortable.Aiden Markram showed brief promise but was dismissed by Axar Patel, while Ayush Badoni fell for a duck. Nicholas Pooran was undone by a clever slower delivery from Lungi Ngidi, which dipped late and crashed into the stumps.Ngidi starred with 3 wickets, showcasing excellent variation, while T Natarajan also picked up three. Kuldeep Yadav chipped in with two, including the key wicket of Mitchell Marsh with a well-disguised googly.Overall, it was a clinical performance from Delhi Capitals. Despite an early collapse, Rizvi’s brilliance and Stubbs’ composure powered a remarkable comeback, handing Delhi a winning start to their campaign.
