The Delhi High Court has issued a notice on the petition filed by K.K. Singh, father of late Bollywood late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, seeking a ban on films inspired by the life of his son. Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas Singh tweeted the information on Tuesday.
“Delhi High Court issues notice on petition filed by SSR’s father seeking ban on release of any movie on his life,” tweeted Vikas Singh.
The decision comes a day after a new teaser of the upcoming film “Nyaay: The Justice” was released. The film is reportedly a tribute to Sushant.
The teaser shows an actor named Mahinder Singh talking about his performance in the highly successful film “Cricket” and the relationship he shared with his manager, family members and friends, highlighting how much he loved them. The teaser also showcases how the actor donated crores when there was a calamity, and concludes with a scene where the actor lies dead on bed, and his aged father asking if he will ever get justice.
“Nyaay: The Justice” stars Zuber Khan and Shreya Shukla and is slated to release on June 11. Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14 last year.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES
WHILE INVESTING FOR YOUR CHILD
Sandeep Ahuja Contd. from last edition Avoiding shopping around for an advisor
As a first time investor, we feel inclined to approach the same advisor who is being consulted by our parents, friends or relatives. But here, it is important to understand that the advisor that’s right for someone else may not be right for you. You need to choose the advisor as per your needs, the type of clients he/she works with and how involved you want to be in your investing decisions.
Improper Attention to Fees
You need to understand the fees you pay when you invest as they reduce your return. Before making an investment, ask questions and evaluate the available options. For instance, two investments may carry similar risk and expected return, but one may have higher fees – all else being equal, the fees would affect your returns.
Not making optimum use of RESP as an investment account
It is a proven fact that among the asset classes, equities provide the highest long-term rate of return. An early investment into an RESP will let your stocks grow for 18 years or more.
Irregular monitoring of your account statements
To show the activity in your account and provide an update on your investments, your financial institution sends you monthly or quarterly account statements via mail or makes them available online. It’s essential that you examine your statements to confirm: 4That the investments that you have bought and sold are correct. 4The fees and commissions charged on the investment are correct. 4The amount of gain/loss of your investments.
If you find anything unclear/ incorrect, contact your financial representative immediately.
Lack of information about the ways you can utilize RESP funds
You may use the RESP funds for any reasonable post-secondary education expense of your child in Canada as well as out of country (including apprenticeships). An added advantage is- the capital that you have contributed (not the grants or the money made from the grants) can be used for any purpose as per your need.
It is evident that a wisely decided appropriate amount of investment for your child’s postsecondary education will ensure the growth of funds in the best possible manner, which will be readily available when you need them for the intended purpose.

Siblings:
The most precious bond one can have
Nikita Sharma
Freelance Writer/ Blogger/ Content Strategist
Out of all the relationships we have, the one that we have with our brothers and sisters is often forgotten, taken for granted or under-rated. But this bond is one of the most important relationships that we can ever have and attributes to our growth and development from a very early age. It is one of the longest lasting relationships we have and probably the most influential. lings, they not only talk about the love and intimacy they share but often will reminiscence on the fights and quarrels too.
A sibling relationship is often highly charged with both positive and negative interactions and these experiences provide a safe training ground for interactions outside the home. They form the basis on which children learn how to behave in social settings outside the house and establish long-term social behaviour. The intimate knowledge that siblings share as well as the emotional intensity that goes with these relationships, means that sibling relationships have a great impact on one another’s development and wellbeing while growing up and even later in life.
So, cherish the bond that you have with your sibling. If you are a parent, let your kids fight, but also let them solve the little differences within themselves. Motivate them to be more kind to each other and you will see their relationship blossom into the most cherished bond they can have.
