Bal Thackeray

Aaishvary Thackeray, grandson of Balasaheb Thackeray, is quietly carving his own path in Bollywood. With a focus on his craft, he’s chosen to work behind the scenes before stepping into the limelight.

Aaishvary Thackeray, grandson of Balasaheb Thackeray, is set to make his Bollywood debut under the direction of Anurag Kashyap. Known for his unconventional style, Kashyap's involvement has created a buzz. The film's title and details are yet to be disclosed, making it one of the most talked-about projects in Bollywood.

Speaking on the occasion of the late leader's 99th birth anniversary, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the BJP-led government has in the last ten years conferred the honour on some persons who did not deserve it.

PM Modi said, "I pay homage to the great Balasaheb Thackeray Ji on his Punya Tithi. He was a visionary who championed the cause of Maharashtra's development and the empowerment of Marathi people. He was a firm believer in enhancing the pride of Indian culture and ethos. His bold voice and unwavering spirit continue to inspire generations."

PM Modi’s remarks aren’t merely rhetorical, they carry significant undertones and highlight the nuanced and often contradictory relationship between Congress and Balasaheb Thackeray

Ahead of the the Lok Sabha polls, the two factions are anticipated to take aim at each other in their respective rallies. These factions have been in conflict as they vie for the title of the 'true inheritor' of the legacy of the late party supremo, Bal Thackeray.

Disapproving of Patil’s remarks, Shinde said Ayodhya was a matter of faith for him. Speaking at the Mumbai Tak-Baithak interaction, the chief minister said, ”I told BJP leader and minister Chandrakant Patil that he shouldn’t have spoken against Balasaheb Thackeray.”

"I thank Election Commission. Majority counts in democracy," Shinde said, reacting to the poll panel's decision, seen as a major blow to the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction.

In an emotional address on the night of June 29, Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation as Maharashtra Chief Minister and declared that he would meet party workers at the Sena Bhawan, the headquarters of the outfit in central Mumbai, indicating the tough road ahead to regain the lost ground to the rebellion.

The petition filed by Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu challenges the notice of Maharashtra Governor calling for a floor test in the state assembly on June 30.

The NCP, which is one of the constituents in the Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government, said the ceremony is a "matter of joy" for all and that Lord Ram is the deity of Indians.

The Shiv Sena in November broke its decades old alliance with the BJP and formed a government in Maharashtra with the support of the NCP and the Congress.

"Tributes to the great Balasaheb Thackeray on his jayanti. Courageous and indomitable, he never hesitated from raising issues of public welfare," the prime minister wrote on Twitter.

On Sunday, the ruling Sena got trolled after media reports emerged that the memorial would require felling of some 1,000 trees.

The mentor-protege equation of uncles with their nephews has slipped into unpleasant territory in the struggle for power in not just the NCP but also the Shiv Sena and the BJP.

BJP's Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday returned as Maharashtra chief minister, propped by NCP's Ajit Pawar, who took oath as his deputy.

Some Sena workers in close proximity to the former CM's convoy were seen shouting in Marathi Fadnavis' assembly poll campaign slogan: 'I will be back (as CM)' along with the Sena's traditional 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki jai' war cry.

Welcoming the Supreme Court verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on November 9 said Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray would have been very happy had he been alive.
