New Delhi, Oct 31: Shweta Basu Prasad, the national award winning actress made headlines two months back but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. The actress was arrested for her alleged involvement in prostitution when she was caught during a police raid in a high profile Park Hyatt hotel at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

Swetha Basu1Soon after her arrest she was sent to a rescue home by the court. On 30th September a lower court had extended her stay at the home for another six months. But Shweta’s mother had filed a revision plea against the order. Now in a latest development, the sessions Court in Nampally has ordered to release her from the rescue home. She is now all set to return at Mumbai to her brother and mother.

In the court, the lawyer appearing on Shweta’s behalf, S Pradeep Kumar had said, "She was wrongly implicated in the case by the police." He also argued that the actor has a brilliant future and should not be kept at the rescue home. Kumar has stated, "The police could not prove anything to say that Shweta had indulged in prostitution. The agent and the alleged customer were both police decoys. They did not even recover any cash from her possession. It was seized from the agent, Balu."

In the court Shweta submitted a statement that said, "On August 30th I came to Hyderabad to attend the Santosham Movie Awards function as a guest. The organizers (of the awards) provided me accommodation at Park Hyatt Hotel...I was humiliated by the police and they took my pictures with their cell phones without my consent...I panicked." Her statement further stated, "I am pursuing my mass media communication course, am a freelance photographer, documentary/short-film maker...I reside in Mumbai with my parents...though their relationship is strained I am in touch with my father...my mother will take care of me...I do not require any counselling or rehabilitation."

Her lawyer also raised the question why police did not take any action against hotel management when it is clear that the rooms of the hotel were regularly used as brothel. But the police authorities have denied all allegations. According to the police the pimp was doing it “clandestinely”. Additional deputy commissioner N Koti Reddy said in a statement, "They (the hotel authorities) did not know anything about such activities taking place on their premises. We did ask them about it when we raided the place, but the hotel was clueless. Balu was indulging in it clandestinely."

Los Angeles, May 2: Pop diva Madonna has revealed that she has tested positive for the COVID-19 anitbodies.

The singer shared the news in the 14th edition of her “Quarantine Diary” on Instagram TV.

“Took a test the other day and I found out that I have the antibodies. So tomorrow I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car, and I’m gonna roll down the window and I’m gonna breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining,” Madonna said.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US, antibody tests are used to determine whether or not a person has been exposed to COVID-19 by finding proteins the body produces to fight the virus.

However, the CDC has yet to confirm if the possession of antibodies is equal to immunity.

Mumbai, Apr 29: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is not keeping well and has been admitted to a city hospital here, his elder brother Randhir Kapoor said.

The 67-year-old actor was taken to H N Reliance hospital by his family on Wednesday morning.

"He is in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and he has some breathing problem, so he has been admitted to the hospital. He is stable now," Randhir told PTI.

The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year.

In February, Kapoor was hospitalised twice due to his health issues.

He was first admitted to a hospital in Delhi where he was attending a family function. At the time, Kapoor had said that he was suffering from an "infection".

After his return to Mumbai, he was again admitted to a hospital with viral fever. He was discharged soon after.

Kapoor, who has been quite active on social media, hasn't posted anything on his Twitter account since April 2.

The actor recently announced his next project, a remake of Hollywood film "The Intern", also featuring Deepika Padukone.

Washington, May 19: Actors Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are going their separate ways after 10 years of marriage.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 46-year-old Green, on Monday announced the news during an episode of his podcast 'With Brian Austin Green' where he emotionally opened up about the breakup with Fox.

The 'Beverly Hills 90210' star revealed that they simply grew distant at the end of last year while Fox was away shooting a film.

Green recalled Fox saying during the conversation they had after she returned from filming, "She said, 'I realised when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me.'"

Though feeling "shocked" and "upset" at first, Green admitted that he couldn't be upset with her for being honest.

He said, "Neither one of us did anything to each other. She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her. We've had an amazing relationship. I will always love her. And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we have built is really cool and really special."

The 'Impact Point' star shared that they intend to "still do family vacations and holidays as a family and really make that a focus for the kids."

Green went on to say that it's hard to adjust to the change and he doesn't want himself and Fox to "be at odds": "She's been my best friend for 15 years and I don't want to lose that."

He added: "There's this sense of loss of, 'How do I go on with this big part of my life that I've always known and loved and shared changing?' What does that landscape look like? What does that life look like?' ... Megan and I talked a lot about it, and it's a big concern for both of us." Aware of the scrutiny around their age difference, Green defended Fox, saying "she's really a responsible person. ... She really loves the kids and cares about what their life and their experience is."

The couple share three children together 7-year-old Noah, 6-year-old Bodhi, and 3-year-old Journey, and Green said that they are only concerned about controlling how the separation will truly affect their children.

After photos circulated online of Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, hanging out -- Fox and Baker are co-stars in the upcoming film, 'Midnight in the Switchgrass,' Green said Fox and Baker are "just friends at this point."

He said, "She met this guy, Colson, on set. I've never met him. Megan and I have talked about him. I trust her judgment; she's always had really good judgment."

Green emphasised that despite what tabloids can say, he didn't want the public to categorise Fox and Baker as "villains or that I was a victim in any way."

Fox and Green started dating in 2004 and married in 2010. Fox had filed for divorce from Green in 2015, but the couple later reconciled.
