Ghaziabad: Housing board is set to offer over 150 plotted properties in Siddharth ùVihar township, which is fast emerging as a viable option to homebuyers due to its proximity to Delhi and affordable housing.

Spanning over 635 acres, the township along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway is barely a 30-minute drive from Noida City Centre and Connaught Place. Ghaziabad rapid rail and Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) metro stations are less than 5km away.

To boost connectivity to the township, GDA plans to link the township to Hindon Elevated Road through a 24m road and cloverleaf interchange on the Delhi or UP Gate carriageway. A bridge over the Hindon River connecting Siddharth Vihar with trans-Hindon areas is also in the offing.

Plans are afoot to link Siddharth Vihar to Greater Noida West and Noida International Airport via a 72km RRTS corridor too.

Housing board officials told TOI the township is 30% developed, but its strategic location makes it a preferred residential destination. Last year, the board hiked the plot rates by Rs 6,180 per sqm from Rs 58,820 per sqm. Currently, a 100 sqm plot in the township cost around Rs 65 lakh.

Over 40,000 people have moved into the Brahmaputra, Kanshiram Yojna, Ganga, Yamuna and Hindon towers, developed by the housing board over the past few years.

And so, in this free-flowing conversation with Bar & Bench’s Debayan Roy, he bears all.

In Part I, he had spoken about the controversy his former colleague Justice Yashwant Varma find himself embroiled in, and how the video released by the Supreme Court may have done more harm than good.

In Part II, he speaks about what ails the legal profession, how the Manipur government failed to implement the High Court’s orders to maintain peace and order in troubling times, Umar Khalid’s continued incarceration, his love for Urdu shayari, and more.

Actor-influencer Siddharth Nigam is all praise for Jacqueline Fernandez, his co-star in JioHotstar’s upcoming offering, Hai Junoon. Siddharth lauded Jacqueline’s enthusiasm, work ethic and spoke about their bond.

“Jacqueline is full of life and brings such positive energy to the set,” Siddharth told News18 Showsha, emphasising the vibrant aura she carries with her. “She’s someone who lights up every room she walks into,” he shared.

Divita Rai: Fashion can no longer afford to be tone-deaf. Social responsibility is not a checklist; it is a mindset. For us, that means working with Indian artisans, producing in small batches, and creating pieces that can live in wardrobes for decades. Cultural authenticity also means knowing where your inspiration comes from and acknowledging it with respect. Fashion, at its best, can be both beautiful and meaningful.

Actor Adhyayan Suman has collaborated with former Miss Universe India Divita Rai and designer Alka Suman to launch a luxury fashion brand ‘Duchess Kumari’.

Cannes 2025 witnessed a royal rendezvous of tradition and modernity as 22-year-old actress Anushka Sen made her much-awaited red carpet debut — and it was nothing short of majestic. Dressed in a wine-hued couture creation by former beauty queen, actress and entrepreneur Divita Rai, Anushka didn’t just walk the carpet — she ruled it.
