AN Indian American real estate developer and film producer, has acquired the late actor Matthew Perry's Los Angeles home for $8.55 million (£6.9m).

Anita Verma-Lallian, who founded the film production company Camelback Productions, has bought the Pacific Palisades property from the late star.

Before moving into the property, Verma-Lallian and her family performed a traditional Hindu 'puja' ceremony to bless the space and honour the memory of the former 'Friends' star, who passed away last year at the same residence.

"We chose to honour the positive aspects of the previous owner's life, his immense talent, and all the joy he brought to so many people," Verma-Lallian, who is known for her efforts to increase South Asian representation in the entertainment industry, was quoted as saying.

“I am Hindu, and it’s customary to do a blessing and prayer anytime you buy a new home. We were so lucky to have our Panditji from Arizona come to the house to do the blessing."

She also runs a successful commercial real estate consulting firm, Arizona Land Consulting, which was established by her parents, Kuldip and Binu Verma.

According to reports, she began her company after leaving her family business, Vermaland, which is a land development and banking company based in Arizona. The business is run by Anita's parents along with her sister Jennifer.

She had publicly supported for Kamala Harris and co-hosted a fundraiser for her.

The Indian-American businesswoman, who holds an MBA from the University of Southern California, has been recognised for her achievements in the real estate and philanthropic sectors.

She was named a "Dynamic Woman" by Modern Luxury in 2021 and was awarded "Global Real Estate Leader of the Year" by the Global Chamber of Phoenix in 2018 and 2019.

Through her family's Verma Charitable Foundation, Verma-Lallian aims to support underprivileged students in India by providing scholarships and establishing a cultural centre in Phoenix to promote Indian heritage and teachings in the local community.

Iga Swiatek crushes Anisimova to claim historic Wimbledon title

IGA SWIATEK took another stride towards tennis greatness by ruthlessly tearing apart American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 and lifting her first Wimbledon trophy on Saturday (12).

The big occasion turned into a nightmare for Anisimova who became the first woman to lose a Wimbledon final by that painful scoreline since 1911 and the first to do so at any major since Steffi Graf routed Natasha Zvereva at the 1988 French Open.

What was the Tebbit Test and why was it controversial?

LORD NORMAN TEBBIT, the former cabinet minister who introduced the controversial “cricket test” to question the loyalty of migrants, has died at the age of 94. The test, later known as the “Tebbit Test,” suggested that immigrants who supported cricket teams from their countries of origin instead of England were not fully integrated into British society. His death was confirmed on Monday by his son, William, who asked for privacy for the family.

Tebbit first spoke about the test in 1990 as a Conservative MP. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said, “A large proportion of Britain's Asian population fail to pass the cricket test. Which side do they cheer for? It’s an interesting test. Are you still harking back to where you came from or where you are?”
