Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has full faith in the Indian judiciary

Image
Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case has gotten a little more complicated with his father KK Singh filing an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty. From the missing Rs. 15 crores to abetment of suicide, Rhea Chakraborty has been on the radar since day one. According to the FIR, Rhea left Sushant’s apartment with all the money and jewelry. His bank records claim that Rhea Chakraborty spent thousands and lakhs of Sushant’s money on her family and herself. So much so, that Sushant’s bank balance went from Rs. 46 crores in November 2019, to Rs. 4 crores in June 2020. The details have left us all shocked and now, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family has been rooting for the Indian Judiciary to grant them justice. Ankita Lokhande has been actively supporting Sushant’s family and Shweta Singh Kirti even posted a picture of the emblem. Take a look at it.   View this post on Instagram   https://youtu.be/oQLVGnV69UM #satyemevjayate #indiaforsushant. A post shared by Shweta Sin

Hamari Bahu Silk: Zaan Khan plans another protest; says he has sold one of his two cars

Image
The makers of Humari Bahu Silk have not cleared the payments of their actors and crew which has led to a huge outbreak on social media. The actors have worked for close to a year on the show and they have only been paid for a month. Running out of funds to even buy the essentials, the crew including actors like Sarita Joshi and Zaan Khan have requested and protested silently for the makers to pay their dues. Now, Zaan Khan says he is planning another protest outside one of the new residences of the producer. He further said that he has already sold all that he could including one of his cars. He recently did a commercial but the money won’t last long and has no money left to pay the rent. During the initial days of the lockdown, he had offered help to the crew members but if he does not get paid now, he will have to move back to his hometown in Bhopal. His parents have been insisting him to come back home and he will have no other choice left if things don’t take a turn for better.

Kasautii Zindagii Kay: Erica Fernandes returns to set, official complaint filed against Parth Samthaan for violating the rules

Image
Kasautii Zindagii Kay has been in the news for multiple reasons including the lead actor Parth Samthaan testing positive for Coronavirus. Actresses Erica Fernandes and Aamna Sharif shot from home for the last few days as a precautionary measure. Now, Parth Samthaan has recovered and headed to Pune to meet his family after he had a panic attack. The society in which Parth stays in Mumbai, is certainly not pleased with this action of his. Erica Fernandes has returned to the sets after shooting from home for days and the word is that the makers are desperate to get Parth to resume shooting, too. Even though he will join the sets soon, a legal complaint has been filed against him by the members of his society for violating the rules and leaving for Pune despite multiple protests by the neighbours. The fellow residents of Parth Samthaan are expecting the BMC to take a strict action against the actor. Take a look at their complaint letter. @mybmc @MumbaiPolice @CMOMaharashtra @ANI @

Movie Review: Lootcase

We all have different dreams and aims in life but one common dream for most is to get wealthy. But the reality of life is that despite slogging for years, most people are able to barely survive financially in today's world.

Rumi Jaffery on Sushant Singh Rajput’s father’s FIR

Image
Writer-director Rumi Jaffery who was close to both Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty says the latest sudden development in the case has left him stunned and shocked. “When I heard that Sushant’s father has filed an FIR in Patna against Rhea and her family, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t sleep the whole night. Dil kehta hai yeh nahin ho sakta . But then I think of Sushant’s grieving father. He hasn’t spoken about the issue since his son’s death. Why would he suddenly speak up if it wasn’t the truth? I am very confused. I didn’t sleep the night after Sushant’s father’s FIR,” says Rumi. Did Rumi ever see any tension between Sushant and Rhea? “I met them as an outsider. We spoke only about films. What goes on between a couple is known only to the two people in a relationship. I say, let the law takes it course. Let’s not speculate on Rhea’s guilt or non-guilt.” Shekhar Suman, a vocal supporter of the campaign to get justice for Sushant says, “The development was inevitable. T

The real reason why A R Rahman gets less work in Bollywood

Image
Not gangeism, or groupism. If the composing wizard A R Rahman is kept out of Bollywood’s bastion it is because of his insistence on publishing rights. A top-notch musician spills the beans. “There was a time when every major director in Bollywood wanted to work with A R Rahman. They still do. But there is a problem. Rahman insists on retaining the publishing rights of his soundtracks. This right, no producer would give to any musician, at least not in India.” The musician who has worked with the biggest banners says Rahman is wrong to blame a ‘gang’ in Bollywood for his relative scarcity of work. “Way back in 2003 Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar offered  Kal Ho Na Ho  to Rahman. When he asked for publishing rights they quickly signed Shankar-Ehaan-Loy for Kal Ho Na Ho.  And Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions never worked with Rahman.” The musician says there is nothing unfair about this. “Cinema is a business like any other. Why shouldn’t Karan Johar safeguard his business interests? I

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14 after he was found hanging in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai. His ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande has finally spoken on his death and cites that he could not have taken his life and that he wasn't depressed.

Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput met on the sets of Pavitra Rishta TV show and were in a relationship until 2016. "How much ever I know him, he wasn’t a depressed guy. I have not seen a person like Sushant, a guy who used to write his own dreams, he had a diary... He had his 5-year plan — what he wants to do, how he will look, etc. And exactly after 5 years, he had fulfilled them. And when things like ‘depression’ are used after his name... it is heartbreaking. He might be upset, anxious, yes, but depression is a big word. Calling someo
