Here’s What Ratan Tata Responded When Asked About Mukesh Ambani’s Luxury House Antilia
Ratan Tata, a well-known Indian industrialist, is the chairman of Tata Sons and the trustee of Tata Motors’ charity trusts. Ratan Tata, who was awarded the Padma Vibhushan (2008) and the Padma Bhushan (2000), presided over the Tata Group from 1990 to 2012 and is frequently cited as one of the most illustrious businessmen in Indian history.
Ratan Tata has inspired generations with his work to enhance our country via his philanthropic activities, humble lifestyle, and constant message of giving back to society.
Ratan Tata, 84, nevertheless imparts knowledge to society through his interviews and body language when he appears in public. The businessman was also quite open about his job and had never gotten involved in any controversy.
However, a well-known event occurred back in 2011, when Ratan Tata expressed his opinions about fellow businessman Mukesh Ambani’s lifestyle of living in a lavish home valued at Rs. 15,000 crores, which earned him both love and wrath. So, let’s find out what he actually said, which divides opinions.
Ratan Tata’s opinion on Mukesh Ambani’s opulent lifestyle divides opinions
It was back in May 2011 when Indian business magnate Ratan Tata spoke candidly about fellow businessman Mukesh Ambani’s opulent lifestyle in an interview with The Times.
In response to Mukesh Ambani’s residence in a 27-story building in Mumbai valued at Rs. 15,000 crores, Ratan Tata was asked for his opinion.
In response, Ratan Tata, who prefers to live modestly, said that economic disparity in India is unparalleled and that the nation needs its wealthy people to donate a little of their immense riches to the advancement of the poor. He said,
“It makes me wonder why someone would do that. That’s what revolutions are made of. The person who lives in there should be concerned about what he sees around him and [asking] can he make a difference.”
He said,
“If he is not, then it’s sad because this country needs people to allocate some of their enormous wealth to finding ways of mitigating the hardship that people have. We are doing so little about the disparity. We are allowing it to be there and wishing it away.”
When Ratan Tata’s comments on the income gap in India were made public in relation to his fellow business mogul, Mukesh Ambani, they sparked a heated debate.
Although some media accounts indicated that Ratan Tata had charged Mukesh Ambani with failing to give back to society, others theorized that Ratan Tata had been envious of Mukesh Ambani’s opulent home, Antilia.
He, however, had garnered a great deal of support and praise from the public throughout this issue for his claim that Indian billionaires were not doing enough to aid the underprivileged in all spheres and segments of society.
Tata Company responded to the uproar over Ratan Tata’s alleged remarks about Indian businessmen
But as the situation in the media became more problematic, a Tata Sons spokesperson jumped up and said that Ratan Tata’s statements had been sensationalised by the Indian media. The spokesperson had clarified that Mukesh Ambani house Antilia, was not the subject of Ratan Tata’s comments.
According to the spokesperson:
“We would also like to clarify on stories in Indian media regarding Mr Ambani’s home. The report is out of context and factually incorrect. Mr Tata’s comments on wealth are in the larger context of the growing disparity in society. The comments seem to have been deliberately sensationalised.”

Fukrey 3 has created as much roar as that of Fukrey (2013) and Fukrey Returns (2017). This directorial work of Mrighdeep Singh Lamba was released on 28th September with a bang. While this multi-starrer comedic film has tickled its audience in the best possible manner do you know how much the Fukrey 3 cast charged for their iconic roles?
Fukrey 3 brings the gang back for another uproarious adventure. Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha) enters politics, prompting the Fukra boys – Hunny (Pulkit), Choocha (Varun), Laali (Manjot), and Pandit Ji (Pankaj Tripathi) – to counter her rise and prevent the city from turning into a criminal hub.
From Pulkit Samrat to Richa Chadha the film features an ensemble cast. Here’s a list of the Fukrey 3 cast and how much fees they charged for their contribution to the film.

Being the lead actor of Fukrey (2013) and Fukrey Returns (2017) it goes without saying that Pulkit Samrat is a part of the latest Fukrey movie. He plays the iconic character of Hunny who is much loved by the audience. Reliable sources suggest that for portraying the character of Hunny and for his contribution to the film Pulkit Samrat has charged Rs 2 Crores!
2. Varun Sharma – ₹ 2 Crore
We know Varun Sharma not as Varun but as Choocha and that speaks volumes. His portrayal of Choocha in both the previous movies has never failed to create a burst of laughter. Furthermore, to say that his character is the most popular one from the Fukrey franchise would be a sheer understatement. As per reports, Varun Sharma has received Rs 2 Crores for his iconic role in the film!
3. Pankaj Tripathi – ₹ 3 Crore
Veteran actor Pankaj Tripathi is someone who never ceases to amaze us. No wonder he is often helmed as the most talented and versatile actor out there.

Well-renowned actress Richa Chadha is also a part of the latest Fukrey film. She is seen as none other than our fearless Bholi Punjaban. As per the reports, Richa has charged Rs 1 Crore for her contribution to the film.
Ali Fazal aka Zaffer is not a part of Fukrey 3
What is interesting and at the same time sad to note is that Ali Fazal is not a part of the third installment of Fukrey. He is highly popular for his role as Zaffer in the first two films. Talking about his absence in the latest installment his wife who is none other than Richa Chadha shared as we quote,
“The dates of the film shifted a bit because of Covid so he had taken on another project. But he is having a lot of FOMO.”
She further added,
“The first few days on the sets it felt incomplete without him, not just for me but everyone missed him.”
The film introduces a bizarre twist as Choocha gains a peculiar power, turning urine into gunpowder. Sounds crazy? Wait till you watch the movie for yourself! The chemistry among the characters remains the highlight. Do watch the movie and share your reviews via the comments below.

Axar Patel Shares Cryptic Post After After Being Replaced By Ashwin In WC Squad, Deletes It Later
ODI World Cup 2023 is on its way and cricket fanatics cannot keep calm. For all the right reasons? Indeed for all the right reasons. The WC 2023 is going to mark its commencement on 5th October. Furthermore, India will have its first fixture on 8th October where the men in blue will face the Australians. Many renowned cricketers like Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson are sadly not part of the Indian squad. Now, Axar Patel has also been excluded from the squad.
Axar Patel has been replaced by Ravichandran Ashwin in the 2023 World Cup Squad
The 29-year-old all-rounder Axar Patel has been in a decent format for quite some time. However, on Thursday, September 28, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made a significant announcement regarding their squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. To say that it concerned Axar Patel’s participation in the 2023 WC would be a sheer understatement.
Well, amid the preparation for the highly anticipated tournament, the host nation that is none other than India has chosen to exclude Axar Patel from the squad. Not just that, his replacement has also been announced in the 15-member squad. His replacement is none other than a 37-year-old experienced off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
What is interesting to note is that during the Asia Cup, Axar Patel sustained a left quadriceps strain and has not recovered yet. This incident took place on 15th September during India and Bangladesh’s iconic fixture. This is the reason why he has been replaced for the much-awaited ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
After this big change in the World Cup Squad, Axar Patel took to Instagram and shared two cryptic posts
Following this big change in the WC squad that led to Patel’s exclusion in the WC Squad, he shared two cryptic posts. The all-rounder took to Instagram and posted two stories, the first one was an image depicting a human skeleton using scissors to cut a heart. Here have a look at it,
The second story that he posted had a cryptic message that was not exactly decipherable. Nonetheless, it gave off a vibe that related to nothing but this big change in the squad. He added a broken heart emoji as he wrote,
“Should have taken science instead of Commerce and hired a better PR”
Here have a look at it,
What is worth noting is that minutes after posting two cryptic stories Axar Patel deleted them.
Here is the 15-member World Cup Squad for the men in blue
The wait is finally over because now we have a final list of the 15-member World Cup squad list. The BCCI has released the list and the players are as the follow,
