AfterHours with All About Eve

• Babil Khan on Irrfan Khan, Log Out, Relationships, Social Media & More | Bani Anand | AAE S4

  Watch Logout on ZEE5 now. In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve podcast Season 4, actor Babil Khan reflects on the grief of losing his father, the legendary Irrfan Khan, and the quiet strength of his mother, Sutapa Sikdar. He opens up about the pressures of growing up in his father’s shadow, the complexities of legacy and individuality, and the emotional vulnerability of living in the public eye. Babil recounts a moving moment at the IIFA Awards where he chose to honour his mother instead of his father, realising her vital role in his father’s journey — even sharing how she once gave a 17-page feedback note on Paan Singh Tomar.The interview also delves into emotional accountability. Babil Khan candidly reflects on past manipulative behaviour, admitting he was unaware of it at the time. Once he recognised it, he reached out to someone he had hurt with a sincere apology — and was surprised when the response was warm and appreciative.As the podcast unfolds, Babil Khan questions the authenticity of modern relationships in the age of social media. He speaks about the importance of truly being present, and how today’s culture of constant connectivity often distracts people from forming real, in-person connections. Having grown up without a smartphone until the age of 21, Babil reflects on how that shaped his relationship with technology and helped him remain grounded.Babil Khan shares his discomfort with the term “content,” believing it diminishes the uniqueness of creative work. The loss of his father, Irrfan Khan, remains a central theme — not just as a parental figure, but as a best friend and confidant. Babil reflects on how few people he truly trusts, and how deeply he values close, meaningful relationships in a world that often feels superficial.One of the most poignant moments comes when Babil reflects on a scene from Piku, sharing that understanding someone truly, deeply is the most profound expression of love, more so than simply being loved.He also shares that music is a deeply personal and therapeutic space for him. Activities like scuba diving have helped him reconnect with his breath, which has helped him feel more present — something he believes every artist needs: a life beyond the art to feed the art. He also speaks about the kind of person he finds attractive — someone he can laugh with and share a sense of humour.The podcast wraps up with a fun segment, where Babil responds to hypothetical scenarios with charm and playfulness.(00:00) Episode begins(02:17) How have the last few years been professionally?

• Why Girls Don't Inherit Property in India | Property Disputes Explained | Geeta Luthra | Bani Anand

  Do you have a right to inherit your parents' property even if they will it to someone else? If you are involved in a property dispute, do you know your rights fully? Do you need to make a will, and if you do, what is the right time to make one?In this powerful and deeply insightful episode of AfterHours Season 4, Bani Anand sits down with senior advocate Geeta Luthra to unravel the complex legal web of Indian succession law.What happens when a brother refuses to share ancestral property with his sisters? Can daughters claim their lawful share, especially if there’s no will? What if a property is solely in one family member’s name? Who inherits assets if a couple has no children? Geeta Luthra addresses these real-life dilemmas with both compassion and clarity, offering not just legal understanding but also deep social context.We unpack the difference between self-acquired and ancestral property, the rights of women under the Hindu Succession Act, and how gendered traditions and outdated patriarchal assumptions continue to shape property decisions—even after legislative reforms. From urban households to tribal communities, this podcast sheds light on how deeply systemic these disparities are. Despite legal provisions, tribal women still own just 16% of land in India—a stark indicator of the inequality that prevails.Advocate Geeta Luthra shares compelling stories of how inheritance can turn toxic—manipulation, isolation of ageing parents, and unequal control over property. She explores how lifetime gifts can backfire, why “equal” isn’t always “fair,” and how transparency doesn’t guarantee harmony. The interview also delves into stamp duties, court fees, and limitation periods—the hidden costs that often discourage people from pursuing their rightful claims. The law may appear illogical or intimidating, but understanding it is the first step towards empowerment.We also explore what happens when parents decide to leave everything to one child and how these decisions can lead to lifelong resentment, conflict, or even legal battles. When couples have no children, we examine who inherits the assets—whether it’s nieces, nephews, friends, or even domestic staff—and how to ensure those choices are respected legally.From the landmark Vineeta Sharma case to property disputes where women are branded as witches or excommunicated for marrying outside their caste or tribe, this episode highlights the intersection of caste, gender, and law. Is a daughter’s claim a matter of greed or rightful inheritance? Should emotional bonds override legal rights? This conversation doesn’t shy away from difficult questions. Instead, it offers a window into the evolving dynamics of Indian families—and the ways in which law, tradition, and power continue to collide.(00:00) Episode begins(2:40) Most common cause of property disputes(7:50) How property disputes ruin relationships(11:37) Can a child insist on a property gift from parents?(14:39) Why transparency in property distribution matters(19:25) When should you write a will?(21:06) Is it necessary to register a will?(26:21) Can a registered will be challenged?(31:48) Not giving property to daughters(38:11) Is the Succession Act biased against women?(44:00) Tribal succession laws(48:03) Women’s rights under the Hindu Succession Act(51:21) Can a will be challenged years after shares are taken?(56:13) Do handwritten notes count as a will?(58:19) When is the right time to make a will?(59:46) How Geeta Luthra unwinds AfterHoursFollow us: Instagram:   / allabouteve_in   Facebook:   / allaboutevein  Pinterest:   / allabouteve_in  Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#law #lawyer #inheritance #will #legaladvice #legal #legaleducation #propertydispute #womenrights #propertylaw #laws #interview #podcast

• Joseph Radhik On Clicking Virat-Anushka, Priyanka-Nick, Ambani Weddings & More | Bani Anand | AAE S4

  In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve Season 4 powered by Pulse Golmol, Bani Anand interviews acclaimed wedding photographer Joseph Radhik. From Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, and many more, Joseph is the photographer India's biggest celebrities want for their wedding. What began as a goal to shoot for 100 days a year soon turned into high-profile assignments, including Allu Arjun’s wedding and a major event in Bali. A highlight is his reflection on capturing a candid moment between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma—a reminder that real emotions cannot be staged.Joseph prefers a documentary style—even for celebrity weddings like Virat-Anushka or Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal—aspiring to become the “Raghu Rai of weddings.” He values trust deeply and often signs NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) which is why we see a limited set of pictures online from Bollywood celebrity weddings.He reflects on the discreet lives of India’s ultra-wealthy, contrasting them with the rare public spectacle of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani's wedding.In this podcast, Joseph Radhik emphasises that true joy often lies in simple, quiet moments—a father’s proud glance, a grandmother sipping champagne.During the interview, he critiques the rise of social media pressure, where brides—particularly influencers—prioritise fast content over meaningful storytelling. He underscores that Indian weddings are more than a couple’s story—they are cultural milestones centred around family. Comparing celebrity and non-celebrity weddings, Joseph notes that while all have public and private moments, grounded stars carefully curate what they share. He cites Saif and Kareena’s single iconic portrait and Virat and Anushka’s intimate yet selective sharing as examples of this balance.He shares a funny moment from Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s wedding—he only realised that Nick was a singer when the Jonas Brothers performed. To stay balanced, he prioritises sleep and relies on his seasoned 15-member team at 'Stories'. With a shared style, they cover 35–40 weddings a year, allowing Joseph to focus on key moments while delegating the rest.He debunks the myth that candid photography is new, stressing that emotion, not perfection, is what drives timeless images. One favourite candid? An unplanned moment of Anant and Radhika being lifted by friends mid-celebration.(00:00) Episode begins(01:47) Being one of India’s top photographers (06:21) Why Joseph shoots only 10–15 weddings a year (11:10) Clients asking for photo replicas (14:30) “I have one of the best jobs at a wedding” (17:05) Moment vs. photo quality (19:19) Role of relationships in business (23:01) Dealing with drunk guests (23:45) What makes a great wedding photo (29:09) Meaningful photos vs. flashy creativity (31:29) Signing NDAs for weddings (33:26) On Radhika & Anant Ambani's wedding (34:40) On privilege (36:21) Opulence becoming invisible (38:34) Two must-have wedding shots (41:26) Social media delivery pressure (43:22) India’s wedding obsession (45:36) India vs. West: wedding photography (47:16) Sangeet and the dance obsession (51:49) Celebrity vs. regular weddings (54:41) Working with wife Devika Narain(57:12) First come, first serve clients (01:01:41) Wedding fails & what happened at Priyanka & Nick’s wedding (01:06:22) Grooms & photo consciousness (01:07:03) Managing sleep during shoots (01:09:36) Candid moments in Indian weddings (01:10:47) Capturing key moments like Varmala (01:13:03) Creatives and imperfection (01:13:28) How Joseph Radhik unwinds (01:15:49) Working with his wife (01:19:24) Game: Golmol or Not?Follow us: Instagram:   / allabouteve_in   Facebook:   / allaboutevein  #viratandanushka #priyankachopra #ambani #ambaniwedding #weddingphotography #viratkohli #anushkasharma #interview #podcast #anantambani #nickjonas #c
