Siddhanth Kapoor questioned for five hours in Rs 252-crores drug case; likely to be summoned again

Bollywood actor Siddhanth Kapoor was questioned for nearly five hours on Tuesday by the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai Crime Branch in connection with a high-profile Rs 252 crores drug case. Kapoor appeared at the ANC Ghatkopar Unit around 1 pm and was interrogated extensively before leaving the premises at 6 pm. During the session, police recorded a detailed 10-12-page statement from the actor. Despite the lengthy questioning, officials from the Mumbai Crime Branch said Kapoor’s statement remains incomplete, and he is expected to be summoned again for further interrogation as part of the ongoing narcotics investigation. Sources suggest Siddhanth Kapoor may have attended a party in India where drugs were reportedly consumed, prompting investigators to seek more clarity on the matter. In addition to Kapoor, the ANC has issued a second summons to social media influencer Orry, who had skipped his initial appearance. Orry’s legal representative informed the police that the influencer would not be available to attend questioning until after November 25. The probe into the Rs 252 crores mephedrone drug bust continues, with authorities pursuing all leads. Also Read: After Orry, Siddhanth Kapoor summoned by ANC in ongoing Rs 252-crores drug probe.

Karisma Kapoor renews Rs 66 lakhs Bandra apartment lease amid battle over Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000-crores estate: Report

Karisma Kapoor has made headlines once again, this time for a major personal move amid an ongoing legal dispute over her late ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s colossal estate. The actress, whose children Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur are currently embroiled in a legal battle with Sunjay Kapur’s widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, has reportedly renewed the lease on her luxury Bandra West apartment. According to documents reviewed by Square Yards, Karisma has signed a new one-year agreement for her swanky residence in the Grand Bay Condominium on Hill Road, Bandra West, with the total lease value pegged at Rs 66. 12 lakhs. This premium apartment spans a generous 2, 200 sq ft and includes three dedicated car parking spaces, further underlining its exclusive appeal. The renewed lease was registered on November 14, 2025, and required a stamp duty payment of Rs 17, 100 along with registration charges of Rs 1, 000. A security deposit of Rs 20 lakhs has been included in the agreement, while the monthly rent is set at Rs 5. 51 lakhs for the duration of the one-year term, totaling Rs 66. 12 lakhs for the full period. The space continues to be rented out to Kongsberg Maritime India Pvt Ltd, the same company that has held the lease previously. Under the earlier agreement, signed in November 2023, the monthly rent amounted to Rs 5 lakhs for the first year and Rs 5. 25 lakhs for the second, reaching Rs 1. 23 crore across two years. This property update comes at a time when Karisma’s family finds itself at a pivotal juncture in the continuing estate dispute. Recent courtroom developments saw Karisma’s legal team claim that Samaira’s university fees remained unpaid due to lack of clearance by the estate’s managers. However, this assertion was vigorously challenged in court by Priya Sachdev Kapur, who presented receipts showing the fees had indeed been paid Rs 95 lakhs per semester with the next instalment only due in December, as confirmed by her lawyer Sheyl Trehan. The central issue, however, remains the contested will of Sunjay Kapur. Karisma’s children have alleged that their stepmother Priya forged or altered the will to exclude them from Sunjay’s estimated Rs 30, 000-crores estate. Priya Kapur’s legal counsel, led by senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, has dismissed these claims outright, arguing in court that it is common for a husband to leave all his assets to his wife, referencing family tradition as precedent. Sunjay Kapur, an eminent industrialist, passed away in London this past June following a polo match, a tragedy that has since sparked a high-profile legal battle between his widow and children. Both parties continue to present evidence, receipts, and arguments to the Delhi High Court as the case unfolds.

Thamma belongs to the same universe as Stree 2 and hence, she graced the occasion and impressed fans and her critics in her trademark style. And now, she’s all set to appear in front of the media once again on Saturday, November 8. The mediapersons got an invite earlier today saying that she’ll be present to make a special announcement.

However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the event, which will be held at a multiplex in Mumbai tomorrow, has nothing to do with Eetha. A source told us, “Shraddha Kapoor has dubbed for the Hindi version of Disney’s highly awaited animated film, Zootopia 2. This is the announcement that will be made at the November 8 event.”The source continued, “Shraddha Kapoor has a lovely voice and has probably never dubbed for a Hollywood film before. Moreover, she’s one of the top stars and has a huge fan following among kids and families, who are also the target audience for Zootopia 2. Therefore, they felt that she was the apt choice. Shraddha was on board immediately. She has been a Disney heroine before, in ABCD Any Body Can Dance 2 (2015) and had a wonderful experience of being associated with the brand. As a result, she was too happy to reunite, this time with Walt Disney Animation Studios, for Zootopia 2. Zootopia 2 is the sequel to the 2016 film Zootopia, a story of a rookie police officer rabbit and a con artist fox who team up to uncover a conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators.
