Mumbai, Jun 11: Just a week after actress Jiah Khan committed suicide at her Juhu residence, her boyfriend Suraj Pancholi, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zareena Wahab, was arrested by the Juhu police on Monday on the charge of abetment to suicide.

“Suraj was taken to the police station for questioning on Monday around 6.30pm. We arrested him after the questioning. We charged him under Section 306 (abetment to commit suicide) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC),” said senior police inspector Arun Bhagat of Juhu police station. Suraj (22) will be produced before the Andheri court on Tuesday.

Suraj was arrested on the basis of a six-page suicide note written by the actress. In the note, Jiah had stated that she was heartbroken because of Suraj’s “womanising”. The letter was found by Jiah’s younger sister on June 7. In the letter that is not addressed to anybody, Jiah wrote that she was cheated by the person she loved and had been forced to abort her unborn child.

Jiah’s mother Rabiya Khan on Monday claimed that her daughter suffered “trauma and abuse” at the hands of Suraj and his father Aditya. The note mentions the “deep hurt” the actress felt at having to abort her baby with Suraj and reflects the turbulent relationship she had with Suraj.

Jiah’s family submitted the letters to Juhu police on Saturday and recorded her mother and sister’s statement again in front of independent witness. The note says, “When I first met you (Suraj) I was driven, ambitious and disciplined. Then I fell for you, a love I thought would bring out the best in me. I don’t know why destiny brought us together. After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the torture I have seen previously I didn’t deserve this.”

“I’ve lost everything. If you’re reading this I might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside,” it says. “It didn’t matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely (the) pain you have caused me everyday destroyed my soul.”

Washington, Jun 11: Music maestro AR Rahman has joined the international film 'No Land's Man' as co-producer and composer.

Helmed by renowned Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, the upcoming movie has Indian thespian Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Australian theatre actor Megan Mitchell, and Bangladeshi musician and actor Tahsan Rahman Khan in pivotal roles.

"Time always gives birth to new worlds, new ideals. The newborn world has new challenges and new stories to tell. This is one such story," Variety quoted Rahman as saying.

The movie chronicles the life of a South Asian, whose journey gets complicated when he meets an Australian woman in the U.S.

The film, shot in the U.S., Australia and India, is predominantly in English with some dialogue in Hindi and Urdu.

'Sacred Games' actor, Siddique said: "The filming experience for this project was challenging but a fulfilling one. AR Rahman's brilliance will definitely make the film richer."

"Farooki and I first spoke about 'No Land's Man' at Film Bazaar in 2014. Between then and now, the film has become even more relevant as it looks at what it means to be a vulnerable person in a racially-divided world," producer Srihari Sathe said.

'No Land's Man' won the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and Asia Pacific Screen Awards' Script Development fund in 2014. It was part of the Asian Project Market at Busan and was chosen as the best project at India's Film Bazaar the same year.

Earlier in January, Siddiqui posted multiple pictures on Instagram with the team of the flick, marking the schedule wrap in New York and Sydney for 'No Land's Man.'

He also captioned the post as: "Wonderful experience with the most energetic team."

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.
